lol @ people who think L block = Missing no. L block is well known joke character that can have varied strength. missingno is a joke from pokemon games. He barely beat Tidus last round. He will get crushed by Squall. --- http://s19.postimage.org/aosug5mrn/Persona4.png |
Rallying
against a joke is damn near impossible. People froth at the mouth to
take down Link, Cloud, Sephiroth... but L-Block? Missingno? Congrats,
you beat a tetris block or a glitch. What an accomplishment. Jokes can only be defeated by raw, overpowering strength. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
WTF is going on in this contest I don't know anymore. And OBVIOUSLY Missingno. will still find a way to bomb because let's alla gather together and kill my bracket. --- SuperNiceDog won the Guru contest super nicely! |
Nanis23 posted... Personally I think rallying on a neutral place is pretty much risky for every character Sure, it's risky, but so was rallying Draven and I mean, look how that gamble paid off. You can say it won't work, but that's the thing - no one has tried it, really tried it. We just don't know. And the only way to learn the truth is to take the plunge. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |

Karma Hunter posted... Rallying against a joke is damn near impossible. People froth at the mouth to take down Link, Cloud, Sephiroth... but L-Block? Missingno? Congrats, you beat a tetris block or a glitch. What an accomplishment. L blocks raw strength now is that of what you saw last round and this round. He was worth about 44% on Pikachu after 2008. That's how much auron would get on the Rat. So no. He won't do anything this contest or in the final should he magically be teleported there. What you and I saw last week was Pure and overpowering strength from Draven. The single greatest performance in Character battle history. Not even 2008 Block can compete with that. People forget L blocks victories in 2008 was Gfaqs having a good laugh. Keyword there being Gamefaqs. Now he's just a nostalgic memory for some and has some strength based on his general joke status. He will always put these kind of numbers against decent midcarders. Nothing more. I've already said that if you replace Auron with a pokemon Block fails hard. Most of the blocks votes are coming from the starved pokemon fanboys who want to vote for something. --- http://s19.postimage.org/aosug5mrn/Persona4.png |
Geez, Auron stuffers really suck compared to Tidus stuffers. |

Congrats, you beat a tetris block or a glitch. What an accomplishment. If you think Auron is worth 44% on Pikachu 2008 (or indeed that Pikachu 2013 = Pikachu 2008) there's not a lot of potential for improvement here. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
You mean 2007 L-Block. 2008 L-Block was the year we all rallied to Pikachu's side as he joined forces with Crono to save the contest. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |

Missingno? Congrats, you beat a tetris block or a glitch. What an accomplishment. I don't know how much he's worth. All I know is that L blocks strength is largely based on the characters he faces. He does have decent base strength though. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/3295 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/3833 I'd take Charizard to double Block now with ease. --- http://s19.postimage.org/aosug5mrn/Persona4.png |
I maintain L-Block winning any contest is a joke and brings nothing but shame upon the contest in and of iteself. I refuse to accept this. --- @w@ Gamertag: SliceSabre |
Charizard
put up 61% on L-Block in 2010, 1v1. But L's strength is just
incredibly variable. He had an 825 vote lead on Link after 5 minutes.
Wow. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
SliceSabre posted... I maintain L-Block winning any contest is a joke and brings nothing but shame upon the contest in and of iteself. The contests are joke ever since 2002 when Link was declared "Best character ever" Because of that,this is no longer about who is the best character but rather what is more popular And...maybe a Tetris piece is more popular than a FFX character...who knows |

L
> Mario by that point would be par for the course and not even
noteworthy. L has already smashed Link and Cloud before. Beating
Draven would be hilarious, but still sad. A fitting end for this joke
of a contest. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |

Looks like L block only loses to Pokemon.

Nanis23 posted... The contests are joke ever since 2002 when Link was declared "Best character ever" But it's always been about who is most popular! And it's clear the most popular character on GameFAQs is Draven (or Mewtwo)! Anyway, nothing but Pokemon and joke characters in Round 3? Best contest ever! --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
No,
L-Block beating Mario would be a monumental achievement. Mario is
entirely different from Link and Cloud in what he's a proxy for. Doesn't matter at that point. At that point, Draven has curbstomped Link, and L-Block/Mario is all about who has the better chance of taking down Draven. And Mario has no chance against Draven. He might still win the semifinal, if GameFAQs gives up on beating Draven. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
red sox 777 posted... No, L-Block beating Mario would be a monumental achievement. Mario is entirely different from Link and Cloud in what he's a proxy for. Funny, because the singular result we have pointing to super rallies says Mario deals with them infinitely better than Link. Like, 'steal 30% more votes' better. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
Kefka's going to be in a contest longer than Link. This really is the best contest! --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
Or he could end up being weaker than Tidus! Tidus as strongest FF character would be the best outcome from this contest (other than Kefka taking it). --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
Not_Wylvane posted... Kefka's going to be in a contest longer than Link. how the hell is Kefka gonna beat Snake well I guess he'll survive longer by virtue of his 3rd round match being later, I guess? |
Funny,
because the singular result we have pointing to super rallies says
Mario deals with them infinitely better than Link. Like, 'steal 30% more
votes' better. So if you put Mario in Link's place in that 2007 final, he's down by 700 votes after 5 minutes instead of 800. Or more likely, he's down 900 because the strength gap between Link and Mario is far greater than any greater Mario has to rallying. And the singular result we have pointing to Mario resisting rallies was a match SMB won with 80%. Vincent resisted Kerrigan rallies when he was getting that percentage. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Not_Wylvane posted... Nanis23 posted...The contests are joke ever since 2002 when Link was declared "Best character ever" I think that back then in 2002 it was about "best character" and only after Link won (having no personality) it was accepted that those contests are popularity contests and not about the better character Maybe I remember wrong though |

Yeah,
honestly, the solution to rallying for characters Draven or Missingno
or L-Block is not 'do your own rallies!!' because that's not really how
it works. Some things are naturally easier to rally for, and respect
level almost doesn't matter when it comes to large rallies. It's why
most people don't think Draven/Link is interesting, and why the whole
contest was kinda over in round 2. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Fayt_Esteed posted... Unless Chokefka... well, you know. Only way it won't happen is if Link slays the Draven. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png |
Hint: The Link fanbase honestly and truthfully believes that Link is a great character. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
red sox 777 posted... Funny, because the singular result we have pointing to super rallies says Mario deals with them infinitely better than Link. Like, 'steal 30% more votes' better. Not talking about that. Look at the Gamespot. That's the only (only) example we have of a super rally coming from one place. Link got 85-15'd by Gordon Freeman when Valve rallied the latter. Mario went 45-55 with him in spite of the rally being there from the word go. That's a humongous difference in ability to resist rally power, one that can't simply be ignored by saying 'it's GameSpot' because it was all about the rallied votes. It's why I think Mario is the guy best equipped to finish off Draven, L-Block or anyone else that comes along. It's hard to rally Mario because he has a whole bunch of X-Factors that Link doesn't have, cannot have, and never will have regardless of what site you go to. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
And Mario still lost 55-45. Link didn't lose 85-15 either, he lost like 60/40 or something. Not a huge difference. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Or,
to put it in a different way - Link is Rush, with an unbroken chain of
albums that went Gold that stretches into infinity and enormous support
from its fans. Mario? Mario's The Beatles. With a sufficiently large sample size you could not get anyone but The Beatles crowned as 'best band in the world'. Same with the plumber. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
red sox 777 posted... And Mario still lost 55-45. Link didn't lose 85-15 either, he lost like 60/40 or something. Not a huge difference. Link lost 85-15 in the period where rallies started. Coincidentally, that same period for Mario was his entire match. It's an incredible difference, and surely you can realize that. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
So Mario just loses by less, big deal. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 101/135 Today's Picks: Samus and Auron |
