And this really puts Sephiroth's and Cloud's performances in perspective: (61% vs. Knuckles & Catherine) (60.5% vs. Alucard & Bayonetta) 56% vs. Jill Valentine & Kratos 52% vs. Morrigan Aensland & Spyro 49.5% vs. Frog & Lugia --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
SnoicFactor posted... MM vs Charizard is already very debatable going by last contest in which Charizard was stronger. Adding Zero against MM is pretty much a sure loss. I admit anything is possible though... Maybe the Smash boost is insane. Let's not forget that the reason Charizard was so hyped was because of his performance against Mario. You know, the same guy who just lost to Vivi. And of course it's more likely we might get the 55% against Kratos version instead, which will be alarming even assuming Kratos dropped a good chunk since 2010. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
Charizard
would crush Kratos now. Kratos (and hell, Duke Nukem) has reason to
decline in strength. Charizard, not so much. I wouldn't be the least
bit surprised if Charizard did a full 10% better against both Kratos and
Duke now. Alternately maybe Kratos is like a stronger version of Ryu Hayabusa and collapses against actually popular characters. So this might be all SFF. On another topic, who even had the bright idea of rallying Vivi over Mario? The only thing I can think of is someone wanting an oldschool gaming icon (which Vivi himself isn't, but due to being a black mage he is) to upset Mario thanks to Mario's games being whored out by Nintendo nowadays. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Charizard did a full 10% better against both Kratos and Duke now. Lugia would crush Kratos now The person that rallied Vivi is a new user called "lightning_02" or something He did because..well..to quote him I'll add that I hope in future your admin considers making some pro-userbase decisions for a change because I only did what I did for L-Block and Vivi because of his "rally your own personal army" comments. And I'm amazed how easy it was. |
If that's the only hope for countering Draven then so be it. A tetris block and a black mage sound like darn fine ammunition for the GameFAQs vs. Reddit war anyway. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
What do you, mean "not just about UK"? If you look at Europe, Mega Man is winning most of the big countries: Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, ... Maybe he is underperforming a bit compared to the US, but those places are still favoring the Blue Bomber. --- Best.Result.Ever: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/5246 |

Match CVII: (2) Zero vs. (23) Weighted Companion Cube vs. (20) Rikku Previous Round Zero 58.58% Kratos Aurion 20.72% Boko 20.70% Weighted Companion Cube 38.18% Claptrap 31.82% Lenneth Valkyrie 30.00% Rikku 41.57% ? Block 37.52% Lyndis 20.91% Analysis After the Cubes previous round I do not think anyone is going to give him a chance this round. Its performance against Claptrap, even with Borderlands 2 was pretty bad and even though jokes are not very linear both Zero and Rikku have quite a lot of strength. I am a bit surprised though, I know the Cube is a joke, but you would expect it to get a boost in strength from more people playing Portal. I would give Rikku a small chance against Zero. In 2008 Zero essentially went equal with Vivi and in 2010 Rikku had a similar performance against Kirby as Vivi. Of course the main difference was Rikku had Kirby at night while Vivi had him during the day. The day/night difference places Rikku a bit farther back on this hypothetical situation. Zero also looked pretty good last round, Tales characters were looking okay and Zero went and crushed what was once perceived as the strongest character from the series. Some people credited that performance from his badass picture. If the performance is true then not only would he win this match easily, but he may have cemented himself as a near-elite again. Rikku could win, but I feel Zero will take this match. It is a shame because the best result for Mega Man fans would be for Zero to lose so that Mega Man can have the best chance possible on defeating Charizard. Regardless I do not think the average voter thinks that far ahead, I mean just look at all the double Pokemon matches that we can potentially have. charmander6000s Bracket: Zero > ? Block and Weighted Companion Cube charmander6000s Prediction: Zero 40.45%, Rikku 36.93%, Weighted Companion Cube 22.62% --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 110/153 Today's Picks: Mega Man and Zero |
WCC round 1 performance was..terrible But after this stupid round im paranoid and I feel like a crazy upset can come from every damn match Like..some sort of 400 comments mega rally in /v/ But I believe this is just me having an extreme paranoia,I even thought Jill could pull a miracle this match |
When
I say "night" I mean night matches favour it. It has a great first half
but its second half isn't quite as good. It was leading ToS 12 hours
into the 2009 match, but lost at the end. Similarly, in 2010 had it been
a 24 hour match ToS probably would have swung it. It does better in
night matches than day matches, at least slightly. That said, RE
probably does worse in the day. Not sure how much by though. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
ChenKenichiFan posted... Mega Man is on a freakin warpath. This percentage should be cut sharply overnight, but he's currently almost equaling Snake's beatdown on what we can only presume is notably tougher competition. He, Samus, and Snake are the only ones this round who have dominated in ways we used to expect of the Noble 9. Woah there. Let's not forget about Link, even if Draven has cast a shadow over him. Even though the site has started hating his guts (or the haters have become more vocal, whatever), his performance was still damn good. Not quadrupling Yoshi like the good ol' days, but still went beyond the tripling, a huge improvement over what he did to Luigi in 2010. Do not forget only him, Snake and Samus (and freaking Draven) broke 60% this round. --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
Speaking of ToS, I was looking for information on it on the wiki, and man. The ToS page needs cleaning up. Someone with an agenda got on there. Really the anti-ToS attitude in these contests needs to stop because the game's contest record is rather good. Even ToS characters aren't actually that bad. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |

Nanis23 posted... WCC round 1 performance was..terrible I don't know why people think /v/ would have anything to do with companion cube or missingno, those are reddit level "jokes". /v/ rallies results that make people double take in confusion or seethe with anger, not understandable mainstream jokes that everyone and their dog could understand the appeal in and why they won. |

Do I need to explain what "or" means in a sentence? Maybe you're building up to your explanation as to why it wasn't surprising either? |
/v/ rallies stupid characters no one cares about aside from them and/or characters that can make us "mad" Touhou characters,Wario,Waluigi,Missile and Rachette for being "stupid characters" (Missile is actually awesome but that's not the reason /v/ rallied him) In Vivi case,I believe it was to take down Mario to "make NintendoFAQs mad" not because of genuine love to Vivi or FFIX If it was WCC instead of Vivi in that match,I believe your rally could work too Against Zero (which the Mega Man franchise is probably the most neutral here) it won't work Rikku is pretty much loved too (even by FFX haters) So yeah...WCC won't get rallied,but that's because WCC advancing won't make us "mad" |
Woah
there. If you mean Recette instead of that weird fusion of her and
Ratchet she's certainly not a "stupid" character and nobody thinks that
at all. It's a popular game with those who play it. The Vivi rally worked not just because it was taking down Mario but because Vivi is a liked and respected character that most people would support. The Final Fantasy bias on Gamefaqs is also understood, I don't think it would have worked for any other Final Fantasy character but Vivi. He's exceptionally lovable. |
I'm
still not at all sure about Rikku/Cube today. Rikku should definitely
be strong enough to dispatch the Cube as long as there's not a sustained
rally. After L-Block and Vivi's rallies, I overestimated the potential
of a rally for Missingno, but its failure to materialize may have more
to do with the fact that it was a night match than anything, when Squall
was much stronger, M was much weaker, and many people who might have
been onboard with an M rally were asleep. We've been having so many daytime rallies lately (the one yesterday mostly dissipated because the ralliers couldn't unify behind a single candidate), so there definitely seems to be a chance for a Cube rally today. Rikku beat ? Block in Round 1, but not by all that much, and she was the only strong character in that poll. With Zero sucking up so many "legitimate character votes" today, it's not hard for me to imagine Cube getting a large enough share of the vote to get second. Also, Cube looked weak in the first round, but it seems like there may have been some kind of blocky non-human SFF between him and Claptrap. I've heard Claptrap has plenty of character, but as a non-Borderlands player, it seems like he and Cube could both attract votes from people who enjoy voting for inanimate objects. |
Even when Pokemon is not in the match it wins. Karp > Jill sigh --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |

redrocket posted... Are we all ready to admit Smurf is right about Badass Decline Factor? It isn't so much Badass Decline Factor so much as it is casual-oriented characters that get most of their support from their character design declining. Examples: -There's evidence for a Mortal Kombat drop in spite of the series getting revived since last contest. -Dante flopping. -Ryu Hayabusa flopping. The latter two can be blamed on DmC and Ninja Gaiden III, but then logically the MK characters would boost. So the theory of casual-oriented characters declining sounds best. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
