Karma Hunter posted... Ooh. Not a big gain. In the Power Hour. I'm skeptical, but I want to believe. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Through Round 2 now in 8th Place on the Expert Leaderboard. NEVER BANK. NEVER HEDGE. 13 matches to go for PRIZE WINNINGS. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://www.wwe.com/f/wysiwyg/image/2013/07/wyatt07062013.gif |
Assuming
Crono=Pikachu, and MMX is not hurting Mario, Mario beats Snake. I said I
wasn't going to make a judgment on that without more info, but here we
go. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
Why
did people want Mega Man X and not something completely neutral
like...Gordon Freeman or whoever. What does he add to the poll other
than add doubt to whatever Mario does? |

A Zelda upset would have really hurt. Prediction percentages for Charizard were in the 90s for the top tiers but fell quickly once you get further down than -34 (125 points). The middle tiers did badly with prediction percentages in the low 20s or high 10s. If Charizard takes down Mega Man, it'll likely get much worse. 1 person fell off the Top 49. ChichiriMuyo did not have Charizard winning. 2 people got it wrong and survived. Former first place CarveyFAQs and Flock_Masta_P also did not have Charizard winning. --- Pokemon VGC2013 US National - 39th place Pokemon VGC2013 Worlds LCQ - Top 32 |
Three Pokemon matches in the top 5 all-time closest. Good value for their appearances, I would say --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
lightning-02 posted... Why did people want Mega Man X and not something completely neutral like...Gordon Freeman or whoever. What does he add to the poll other than add doubt to whatever Mario does? Because we want Mario/Crono to be a close, epic match like it used to be and to do that we need some way to restrain Mario. Crono needs the help! It was honestly a pretty good match, hard to think of a better option to put in for third. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
That's more like what I expected to see. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Oh, there was the cut. Sorry Crono, it's over. --- *2, *8,070,446 Kuroko no Basket *3, *6,495,240 Naruto |
yeah that's kind of what i was expecting/dreading too --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Oh. Oh. Hot damn. --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
No idea how much X is hurting Mario, but it's not enough for Crono to even approach him. Crono probably sucks pretty bad in comparison to what he used to be, but it also makes what Vivi did look crazier --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
So Does this match makes Vivi looks godly in the x-stats? |
lol mega man lol crono heck, lol mario --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
You
know, it's a pity I still have doubts about Allen concealing vote
stuffing because he's been pretty good to B8 for this contest. Allowing
both bonus polls was pretty classy of him. --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
Nanis23 posted... So pikachu would want a stronger crono, the worse crono looks the less impressive pikachu's performance becomes --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
We
are starting in the frenzy of the day vote, though, and it's difficult
to overstate how bad CT is in the day. Not that he'd win or anything I
imagine, but a night match would make this look a lot more interesting. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
xp1337 posted... Nanis23 posted...So Yeah I know I wanted to write Vivi (edited it though) But if using this Crono in relation to X in relation to Draven,after Draven beats Link and the whole contest..then it will make Pikachu look godly! I think |
This
is going as expected so far, but it's still really early. I doubt Crono
overtakes Mario unless somebody rallies for a bonus poll lol. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
This is so weird. That's twice Crono has thrown up a pretty good update after getting rocked. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
I'm
unclear as to where you would even go to rally for Crono. We can use
this match as a decent estimation for Mario if you wanna go the old
Crono = Squall route, though that seems probably way too optimistic now. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
swordz9 posted... This is going as expected so far, but it's still really early. I doubt Crono overtakes Mario unless somebody rallies for a bonus poll lol. You mean like Red/Blue vs. Cloud/Seph, one of the best matches ever? --- Menji has reclaimed what was his by rights. I was more of a man with his than with my own combined. ##Alec |
In the face of these results, I'd be thrilled to take Crono = Squall! or maybe not. for squall's sake. =( --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
This match makes me sad People only wanted X to be in the poll because he is a strong,neutral character..not because they really want to see how he is doing Him losing to Crono makes no sense |
Red/Blue winning that might just be the best match I have seen since following these contests. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |

*wakes up* Hell ya charizard! I knew it buddy! --- nt |
Although it seems possible right now that in a 24 hour match Crono could improve on Mario/Crono 2005! Heyo --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Assuming
a 70-30 Ganondorf vote split in Mario's favor (which is fairly
generous), Mario beats Vivi with 53.44%. Currently, Mario is at 55% on
Crono. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Karma Hunter posted... Nanis23 posted...This match makes me sad I actually thought about that in the board vote But we are long after it,and now most votes are coming from casual visitors...I don't think they care about the Mario vs Crono factor |
At this point Auron might have been a better choice since apparently MMX is part Nintendo. |
If MMX was constant, this Mario would get ~43.80% on 2010 Link So Megaman X is probably doing worse than he should because of being the third wheel or stronger SFF from Mario or something --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Hopefully this means all the talk about Mario's imaginary "fall from grace" will dissipate now. The Vivi match was very, very fishy. It was an anomaly and should be treated as such. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Nanis23 posted... Karma Hunter posted...Nanis23 posted...This match makes me sad People didn't want X in because he's a neutral character. They wanted him in because A) it kept the matches as three-ways, B) he is (probably) the strongest character to lose in round 2, and C) his presence made Mario/Crono at least vaguely debatable. As it is, X is pretty much doing as expected, with a tiny bit of last place factor. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Oh
and if MMX isn't hurting Mario to any notable extent this is a really
terrible result for the plumber. 55% on Crono in the Day Vote Power Hour
translates to a much lower percentage over 24 hours. Not to mention
Crono = Squall, already a really optimistic mark for Crono, puts Mario
well below Sephiroth 2010. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
crono o0 --- nt |
There's
no reason to believe X isn't hurting Mario any unless you want to argue
that Mega Man/Mario is a match that wouldn't have any SFF. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Team Rocket Elite posted... 1 person fell off the Top 49. ChichiriMuyo did not have Charizard winning. Yeah, ChichiriMuyo's a guru bracket, so it's easy to confirm that that particular bracket had Lightning taking advantage of the Nintendo split between Charizard and Zelda to advance. Carvey was in the Guru discussion topic lamenting the fact that seemingly every difference between his XCarvenger bracket (which he used for his Guru) and his CarveyFAQs bracket seemed to be going in the latter's favor, so it can also be confirmed that CarveyFAQs had Zelda winning. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |

Checked
the Expert for first time in a while to enter my Rd 3 picks, see I'm
within 5 points of the leaderboard. Guess everyone is doing equally as
bad, as I thought I'd been going terribly. Might need to think about it a
bit more if I have a decent few days to start the round. --- ~ Ringworm ~ |
I've already argued strenuously that X should be hurting Mario a bit, if you went and missed it. Still tough to see this not being another underwhelming performance for Mario at this point. How many of us would really still take Crono > Squall now? --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
tgs2 posted... At this point Auron might have been a better choice since apparently MMX is part Nintendo. Wouldn't Auron have made Crono look worse due to Square SFF? --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
Indeed,
Auron would not have been a good choice for this match - even if there
was no SFF there would very likely be something of a split between Crono
and him. You would want someone neutral in an ideal 24 hour match (or
REALLY ideally, make it 1v1). For a 12 hour day match, I don't begrudge
X's influence here, because it shouldn't be handicapping Mario nearly as
much as the day match is handicapping Crono. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Both
Crono and MMX will look much better by the end of the match thanks to
the SNV. Crono and MMX are both weak in Europe, so they'll do better
when Europe goes to sleep. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
woot, squeaking back on the leaderboard over the alphabetical cutoff --- Leafs / Raptors / Blue Jays / TFC / Argos / Tottenham We'll get 'em next year. |
...You guys are doing it again. You're acting as if bonus matches actually tell us something about characters' strengths. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
Crono needed Luigi here instead. --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
TsunamiXXVIII posted... ...You guys are doing it again. What a ridiculous, asinine comment. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Oh wait, this is a bonus match. I better change from the character I would have originally voted for if it was a regular match! --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Crono manages to hold 45% on Mario at the end of the Power Hour. Good result for Crono says stat topic regular. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
