Why are people concerned about Mewtwo? He's going to get his teeth kicked in in R4 |
Janus5000 posted... xp1337 posted...So, how many Stats Topics was that match? The very end of 1142 to about halfway through 1151? WHAT. Who was rallying, Zack Ryder? --- Bracket for the Great GameFAQs Character Battle IX contest: http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/cb9_code?c=5yiset6iJe2HCg87EdqV1-UnpdF4VgRZC5 |
Not_Wylvane posted... Hell, neither would Tifa somehow getting a win, since nobody seems to hate Tifa, probably for a couple of reasons. Tetris seems to be mostly played on handheld consoles, and Nintendo has majority market share for handhelds right? So maybe L Block would keep Samus down and Tifa advances. >_> --- Hentai? I didn't ask for hentai. I asked for anime, you moron. *clicks and downloads* - Hayato118 |
Trent Baretta. Yes the Trent Baretta. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Also wow Mewtwo's doing good so far. Any idea if he ought to perform even better if he was included in Brawl? --- Hentai? I didn't ask for hentai. I asked for anime, you moron. *clicks and downloads* - Hayato118 |
Is the Pokemon hate here is really that high that people prefer Draven over a Mewtwo/Squirtle as a champion? A character with base power that is not enough to beat Chie and the only reason he beat Link was because the site died is a better champion from the most likeable character in the most popular video game franchise currently? |
People here hate a lot on pokémon for some reason. --- SuperNiceDog won the Guru contest super nicely! |
Nanis23 posted... Is the Pokemon hate here is really that high that people prefer Draven over a Mewtwo/Squirtle as a champion? There are just too many of them. We have like four or five Noble Nine Tier pokemon right now. --- http://i.imgur.com/CQVaT6Xl.jpg |
Most people around here love Pokemon. But the few of us that aren't that big on it, well, given that there are like 10 elite level Poke entries their dominance becomes frankly more annoying than Link's or Draven's. At least Draven has the decency to stick to one area of a bracket and dismantle it as an isolated force-- Pokemon swarm everywhere. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
How can someone not love Pokemon?There are 649 Pokemon out there.Are you telling me you don't like even 1 of them? --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
There
is also more than double the number of FF entrants, most of which get
into the contests literally every time and are at least midcarders,
whereas at least three of the pokémon entrants only got in thanks to the
broader field and rallies. And let's be honest here, besides Mewtwo (who's beasting for some reason), all the others still were/are either in very favorable positions or just untested (or both). So, let's say you just dislike pokémon instead. --- SuperNiceDog won the Guru contest super nicely! |
Maybe that isn't Sonic, but it is Sanic. So him losing makes sense. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
FF
entrants are more diverse and have a much larger range of strength.
Not to mention they're drawn from 12 games rather than for the most part
1 (yeah there is the rare Lucario or N but the majority, particularly
the strong ones, are from RBY) And I don't dislike all Pokemon entries as characters-- in fact I've probably voted for Pokemon in like 1/4 of their appearances so far. It just gets kinda old seeing them wreck so many matches. Our top 9 is likely going to have 3 Pokemon entries in it. Not even FF is likely to do that despite having more entrants from more games. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Mewtwo
must' had summoned the barrel of doom to slow down Sonic. Now Sonic has
to find a way to pass that barrel before contest time runs out. --- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baUY9LFlYh0 - KokorokokoroKOKOROkokoROKokoro-chan iu na http://myanimelist.net/animelist/raytan7585 |
Am I crazy for thinking tomorrow ends Kirby > Boss > Seph? Of course it seems silly, but this contest refuses to make any sense... --- Best.Result.Ever: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/5246 |
I'm thinking Kirby > Seph > Boss but I could see that happening too --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Snaic you WEAKLING! Mah points... Also, am I alone in liking these pics more than the Link/Shepard/Draven ones? --- Natwaf will win this year's Guru Contest! (Yeah Right) |
Safer_777 posted... How can someone not love Pokemon?There are 649 Pokemon out there.Are you telling me you don't like even 1 of them? Pokemon are a species not a character, debatable if they should even be eligible for this. The 6 pokemon characters who are doing well and have made the 3rd round all owe their popularity to a childrens anime from the 90's. Anything related solely to the games like N just bombs horribly. There's plenty of reasons to love Pokemon games and not love whats happening with these particular "characters" in the contest. |
I just realized it's inpossible to predict any round 3 match (in fact,Draven match was the easiest) Seph can either win or finish 3d place Snake is lock to first but Kefka GlaDOS debateable Leon is lock for last place but Squirtle over cloud is not impossible Sora first,no idea if Pojefans favor Pika or Blue more Tifa last,Samus and L Block...well.. Red won't finish first Charizard might flop Im honestly considering all the following might happen- Squirtle beat Cloud,Sora finish last,Red gets last place and Charizard finishing second |
Pokemon
would be a lot less annoying this year if they weren't given insanely
favorable bracket placements. Mewtwo/Sonic/Bowser, Pikachu/Crono/Magus,
Blue/Wolf/Fox, Vivi/Squall/Red, Charizard/MM/Zero - it's absolutely
ridiculous. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
I
hope people rally behind Cloud instead of just picking a new joke
character to try and beat Draven with. Maybe try to supplement a
character that has traditionally always been #2 or #1 at times (ignoring
Mario's cheating) with extra strength and rallying. It would be
something else to see Cloud win again. --- "Anyone may claim that he will act in the direst times, yet only a brave man acts in times great and small." - Cloud Strife |
Oh, and Cloud/Squirtle/Big Boss is pretty favorable too. Squirtle sticks out like a sore thumb there. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

Yoshi is a species too As for Pokemon having favorable spots-what? I can only agree with Blue Pikachu and Charizard,but then Blue and Pikachu screw each other Vivi Squall Red was not planned,it was actually disadvantage for Missingno and Red Mewtwo over Vincent wasn't planned as well |
I
am 50ish points off the Expert leaderboard and I'm seriously wondering
if I could return there tomorrow, since I called this match correctly.
If the Expert hivemind is strong enough in Sonic's favor, I could
honestly see it happening. First place alone is a 54 points swing. --- Best.Result.Ever: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/5246 |
The
species argument doesn't even work too well. There is only 1 legendary
in a game and they can't breed so they are effectively a single entity.
Starters are the closest things to legendaries, while they can breed
they are not caught in the wild and besides being a starter for you or
your rival they are only seen with one other trainer just so that your
Pokedex can be filled. Add in Super Smash Bros. and effectively the only Pokemon entrant you should have a problem with is Magikarp. Missingno too, but there are other reasons why it should or should not be here. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 119/162 Today's Pick: Link |
What
do people think about the situation SBAllen is presenting that there
were 97 votes stuffed for Guybrush and a couple of thousand for touhou
characters but Draven has been clean all contest? Not a vote out of
place |
What

characters but Draven has been clean all contest? Not a vote out of
place You can't punish something you do not see. If he punished Draven without proof he'd effectively would have said, Draven cheated because I do not like this result. Considering GameFAQs' anti-vote stuffing measures anyone stuffing would likely be able to know what they are doing and would easily be able to hide it. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 119/162 Today's Pick: Link |

Where do you even get anti-stuffing software? His posts imply he's using some sort of commercial use thing... --- ~http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/229-music-top-40/62258145~ http://tinyurl.com/kk5kf6z |
Pokemon
are pretty bad, yeah. I've voted for a couple of them here and there,
but I don't like any of them. Them running rampant through a contest,
backed by rallies, though considerably smaller scale than Draven, just
makes them worse than they are. I don't care about Pokemon in general,
really don't like them in contests! But then, you have people who hate
Zelda or Finl Fantasy or Mario - so there's nothing unusual happening
here. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Mewtwo's
earning this one, though. He dominated hard enough last match that he
would've beat Vincent even without the bad pic, and he's cleanly beating
Sonic here. And let's not forget he's scored the highest percentage on a
character in contest history and then broke 80% on the other guy. Here's a crazy theory: Mewtwo has gotten strong as f***. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
So is Mewtwo > Charizard now ? It would seems so but I'm not sure where that would be coming from. I doubt it could be from Mega Mewtwo. |
BleedingRed posted... I hope people rally behind Cloud This is something that definitely won't happen. He's already anti-voted enough so it's pretty unlikely you'll find anybody rallying for him. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
Randomly
going back to the last match here, but Australia's vote breakdown looks
incredibly suspicious on a province level. Based on the percentages in
each province it appears to have had hundreds of votes, yet nobody voted
from Northern Australia. Then, all the other provinces adhered
extremely closely to a roughly 55-35-10 split. But then, randomly,
Queensland had hundreds of votes and essentially no Draven support. He
gets .41%...that seems like an incredibly implausible vote % when
compared to the rest of the country. --- "Hamas isn't really a terror organization." -Terran [Evil Republican] Play Der Langrisser. |
Averia posted... So is Mewtwo > Charizard now ? It would seems so but I'm not sure where that would be coming from. He had a movie in which he was a freaking badass. --- "A game with amazing story and mediocre gameplay usually beats a game with amazing gameplay and mediocre story." - Vlado, Gaming Expert |
The movie came out already? --- Natwaf will win this year's Guru Contest! (Yeah Right) |
Pram_the_Oracle posted... The movie came out already? Maybe they're referring to Pokémon: The First Movie? (I don't know that many of the other Pokémon movies) --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
Northern Australia rarely gets any votes, it's like when Nunavut in Canada fails to get any votes. Queensland is pretty weird, but if there was stuffing then it went both to Link and Shepard? The same thing happened in Draven/MMX/Ryu, maybe no one plays LoL in that province. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 119/171 Today's Pick: Sonic |

Why
would nobody play LOL in Queensland but they play it in all the other
provinces? It's a big province with millions of people and several large
cities. It doesn't make sense for Draven to absolutely not exist. I'm
guessing it also doesn't make sense for Queensland to produce hundreds
of votes. It absolutely reeks of shenanigans, unless our location tracker for votes is just wacky. --- "Hamas isn't really a terror organization." -Terran [Evil Republican] Play Der Langrisser. |
Nice to see Mewtwo winning over Sonic. It's like Frieza beating super Goku Didn't expect him to win by this much ,but the bigger the lead ,the better. Kinda sucks Bowser is last ,though. I wonder who will end up as the strongest Pokemon in the contest. --- Miyamoto: This Zelda was like losing my virginity, in the sense that we were making something completely new . |
So... 1)That redeems Vincent right? With a good picture he would beat Phoenix too. 2)Is there an explanation why Mewtwo dominates? I thought Sonic would dominate! --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
It's
funny how Wylvane "rally for Mewtwo" topic was basically a joke he made
but I totally believed in it and with every match that "joke post"
looks more and more legit Too bad there is not going to be any obscure character next round...it will make it impossible |

charmander6000 posted... Queensland is pretty weird, but if there was stuffing then it went both to Link and Shepard? Though, back in round 1, Draven got over 50% om Queensland. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Besides
the Draven matches, this match has more votes than all of the other
night matches after 12 hours. So it seems like some of the extra
traffic we got is voting in today's match. We probably won't get 60000
votes today, but it should come close to that. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
The
ONLY real blip Pokemon has had this contest was Charizard's 50/50 with
Zelda, and as Link has just demonstrated, that can very likely be
attributed to LoZ's grittiness and unwillingness to lose to damn near
anything. Mewtwo is cleaning Bowser's clock here and there is very
little reason to presume Charizard or Blastoise wouldn't be doing the
same in his place. It's unreasonable to think that "Mewtwo's boosted"
and close the book there. All of Pokemon has boosted - in terms of both
intrinsic strength and the Nintendo SFF ladder. --- http://i.imgur.com/IjkDZMA.jpg |
