Safer_777 posted... Crono scored 47% on Mario. That means he beats Sonic 1vs1. Unless you think that Mario is very weak now. 47% on Mario with a faux-Nintendo character in MM in the poll, that's absolutely pathetic. And Mario lost to Vivi so there are serious question marks over his strength to begin with. |
-LusterSoldier- posted... Karma Hunter posted...imho the Rivalry Rumble tanking votals killed Link against Draven shut up, it's part of SBAllen's master plan to tank votals and allow LoL to take over the site >_> |
lightning-02 posted... Safer_777 posted...Crono scored 47% on Mario. That means he beats Sonic 1vs1. Unless you think that Mario is very weak now. Even if you credit MMX as being a full, pure Nintendo character, Mario maxes out at around a projection of 57% on Crono in a day match. Spotting Crono a few more percentage points for the night vote that he missed out on and it's still much more impressive than Sonic. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Who
would you guys take in Zelda/Sonic? I'm surprised to see Mewtwo doing
so well even after Charizard kind of bombed (unless Mewtwo is just that
much better than Charizard, which would also surprise me). --- You put your RESOLVE HAT back on, which conveniently is the same hat as your NORMAL HAT. {Drakeryn} |
I still think my chaos theory of Squirtle>Cloud Pikachu>Blue>Sora Megaman>Charizard>Zero Vivi>Squall>Red Can work This is something that will make the least sense ever,and this is why it will happen! |
Zelda beats Sonic it seems. I mean Sonic can't beat Mewtwo with another Nintendo character there! --- 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~ |
Nanis23 posted... I still think my chaos theory of fixed oh yeah obligatory Sephiroth winning his division then somehow beating Draven and losing to Mewtwo |
My
projection currently has Sonic just a smidge over Mewtwo right now,
which is pretty bad. I'd take Sonic over Zelda 1v1, but I wouldn't like
it. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Karma Hunter posted... You think Pikachu can escape Pikachu/Sora/Blue while Cloud beats Squirtle??? Not really, I just want it to happen! I guess the best case is that Cloud is beast, Leon Kennedy just folds and Squirtle can't match Cloud. Then in the second match Pokémon fans drop Blue like third period french and Pikachu flattens Sora. It's for the sake of a good match. Snake / Squirtle / Pikachu would be a joke. Snake / Cloud / Sora isn't much better, we don't even know Snake =? Cloud but Sora will tank Cloud enough to remove all doubt from the order. I guess I don't know about Snake / Squirtle / Sora but I think Snake / Cloud / Pikachu is a better version. --- ... as if rights are like muscles - the more you use it, the better it gets.

Nanis23 posted... Anyone read LoL reddit comments to see how they react to this match and what can it say about the next round? This is what makes me think that Cloud can still be a 'beacon of hope' so to speak. I feel as though the Link vs. Draven thing was the apex for a lot of the Draven ralliers, and I don't think their rallies are going to be as hard later in the contest. Cloud has a legitimate shot of beating him IMO with his natural strength, backlash against Reddit/LoL and potential rallies. --- "Anyone may claim that he will act in the direst times, yet only a brave man acts in times great and small."

1337gamerpr0 posted... Karma Hunter posted...My projection currently has Sonic just a smidge over Mewtwo right now, which is pretty bad. I'd take Sonic over Zelda 1v1, but I wouldn't like it. Magikarp wasn't that impressive. He would need to be artificially boosted, because Mega Man held him to below 37%. Well, or Mega Man would have to be on Link's level now. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Karma Hunter posted... 1337gamerpr0 posted...Karma Hunter posted...My projection currently has Sonic just a smidge over Mewtwo right now, which is pretty bad. I'd take Sonic over Zelda 1v1, but I wouldn't like it. Link (2010c) has a strength of 52.23 against Base Link. Jill Valentine (2010c) has a strength of 29.17 against Base Link. Link 72.08% 77,464 Jill Valentine 27.92% 30,012 TOTAL VOTES 107,477 Mega Man 50.00% Jill Valentine 28.94% You might be onto something here... --- ~War~ |

Jill's
probably just weaker today and Kratos is even more pathetic than that.
Mega Man looks a lot stronger, but it'll take another powerful showing
just to convince me that he's indirectly stronger than Mario. Edit: Oh, and Mega Man's percentage is deceptive. He beasts the first three hours and freefalls for the rest of the match. He would have probably ended up close to Samus's percentage on Jill in a 24 hour match, which is about the most optimistic one could possibly be for his strength, Mega Man now being equal to Samus. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
you know, I'm hoping Draven rallies get killed just so we can make hilarious projections for Mewtwo vs Link |
wait,
a sec, where's the link to the detailed match updates (the one with %s
for each update that was linked several times yesterday) |
Safer_777 posted... 1.19%. So that means that if Draven wins the final round he will still have higher prediction than L-Block. I don't see how that stands to reason, unless you assume that everyone who has Draven > Link has Draven winning it all. Which, admittedly, isn't illogical, but I don't think we've ever seen anyone retain 100% of their prediction percentage from round to round. SockoDeus posted... ArtosRC posted...SockoDeus posted...Since when is Mewtwo so strong? Nanis23 posted... Obviously Mega Mewtwo boost While I suspect that Nanis meant that jokingly, that actually is the most logical explanation. I think it worked kind of the way a Smash announcement boost works--the fact that Mega Mewtwo was announced so early in the Gen VI reveal process suggests that Mewtwo will actually be available in-game without having to transfer from an earlier version, even though there's no confirmation of this. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
TsunamiXXVIII posted... Safer_777 posted...1.19%. So that means that if Draven wins the final round he will still have higher prediction than L-Block. I'd be willing to bet a decent chunk of that 1.19% were people aiming for a 0 bracket as well. If that were the case, Draven would potentially have to defeat the unstoppable god Chester next round. --- SBAllen: the hero GameFAQs needs, but not the one it deserves. |
So who would be best for Mewtwo to be up against alongside Draven? I honestly have no clue. --- ~http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/229-music-top-40/62258145~ http://tinyurl.com/kk5kf6z |
BleedingRed posted... Nanis23 posted...Anyone read LoL reddit comments to see how they react to this match and what can it say about the next round? Yeah, can't see CLOUD of all people being the beacon of hope. The problem with Cloud is that he will always bear the effeminate emo anime JRPG image that's really easy to hate and anti-vote. Even on GameFAQs, which has a high bias for JRPG, I can't even see people rallying behind him. The other issue about Cloud winning by natural strength is that vote-splitting is now going to be a serious problem. Link got lucky because he's so good at killing things that Shep got fodderized and Link got most of the GameFAQs votes. I just can't see Cloud doing that against L-Block/Samus/Charizard, considering I don't even know if he can beat Squirte/Snake at this point. The only real hope here against a Draven win is that the rallying stops because r/LeagueofLegends banned it. In that case, Draven could lose next round. |
raginbull911 posted... TsunamiXXVIII posted...Safer_777 posted...1.19%. So that means that if Draven wins the final round he will still have higher prediction than L-Block. people putting 0 brackets on Draven, the biggest wild card even before the contest? besides, even if they did for round 1, pretty sure Face McShooty absorbs it all in round 2 (why the hell are we discussing this) |
Not_Wylvane posted... xp1337 posted...Big Boss to rSFF Snake off MGSV hype! That's...possible. I'm not really sure what to think. Votals tailed off after the initial explosion, so I think we can expect the normal level of votes...but that's going to be a tough fanbase split to overcome. I think I'd sooner pick Mega Man for third than for first. snoocete posted... Not_Wylvane posted...Hell, neither would Tifa somehow getting a win, since nobody seems to hate Tifa, probably for a couple of reasons. Okay, where exactly do you get that? I think that's the same theorizing that makes people think Tetris is pseudo-Nintendo even though it actually reached the US over two years before it reached Japan. (Which in itself makes no sense, because that was while the Cold War was still going on.) Nanis23 posted... I just realized it's inpossible to predict any round 3 match (in fact,Draven match was the easiest) Agree that the next one is tough. I don't think Kefka-GLaDOS is debatable; I'm pretty sure Kefka's got it. And the rest...yeah. Debatable 1-2 in the D5 final; debatable 2-3 in the D6 final, debatable 1-2 in the D7 final, debatable everything in the D8 final, and...debatable everything in the D9 final. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar.

Agreed. There were far better choices for 0 brackets. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
screw that noise, I believe in Pikachu getting 1st! |
GloriousSweater posted... 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. ...I like it. Nay, I love it. The idea of Zelda being indirectly stronger than Samus seems odd, but given the way Samus has always folded in the face of Nintendo SFF (frequently getting rSFFed in wins over other Nintendo characters), the idea that Charizard may still have a chance as long as Red isn't there is very appealing to me. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar.

Votals tailed off after the initial explosion, so I think we can expect the normal level of votes...but that's going to be a tough fanbase split to overcome. I think I'd sooner pick Mega Man for third than for first. Yeah, vote totals dropped off severely after that first hour. For the record, here are the hourly vote totals for the first 6 hours of today's match and the first 6 hours of the 2011 age poll: Time | Today | 2011 age poll 1:00 | 8071 | 7834 2:00 | 3551 | 5300 3:00 | 2565 | 3769 4:00 | 1956 | 2945 5:00 | 1624 | 2419 6:00 | 1537 | 2267 Look at that collapse after the first hour. Even the third hour of the 2011 age poll got more votes than the second hour of today's match. If today's match acted like a normal match in terms of vote totals, a match with almost 8100 votes at the end of the first hour will manage to get over 5000 votes in the second hour. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

Poor
Sonic. Not sure this is totally legitimate Mewtwo strength here though.
He could be benefiting from a bandwagon after beating Vincent last
round. ...Sonic looks bad here either way though. --- http://gifsoup.com/view/874243/big-boss-o.gif |

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? Whichever Pokemon I like will be off of Smash Bros (most likely Mewtwo and Charizard...actually no, forget those two as well). I honestly don't get the appeal of Pokemon. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |

I find it interesting that Sonic's best year in one of these was the year his worst game came out. Anyway, Sonic has had some really good games lately. Not among his greats, but very solid, and Lost World looks like it might be one of his best. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
charmander6000 posted... Blue on Nathan wasn't too bad when you consider him to be about as strong as Fox. I think the problem most have is that it projects Fox to get only 59% on Pac-Man or something. Problem is, Pac-Man has always been a decent midcarder who simply manages to look like awful fodder due to being quite possibly the most SFF-prone entrant the contests have ever seen. Plus having a hard time even getting into contests. Heck, Pac-Man may have boosted just out of being a "classic gaming icon". Other characters like that, e.g. Crash, Spyro, DK have all done well this contest. Though you could argue that Mario stunk the joint. Never mind that Smash Bros.-reliant characters have largely been on the decline this contest. Samus and maybe Kirby are the only ones in that group who haven't shown signs of decline, but the latter got arguably his most high-profile games since the contests began since last contest so it makes sense for him to boost. Samus...SNES character boost? Female character boost? GameCube nostalgia boost? I'm lost. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Thankfully that contest happened prior to Sonic 2006's release! --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |
Was CATS in this tournament? I've been reading the 2003 FFP and was missing him. By the way, the 2003 FFP website also says Cloud/Link was August 30, not September 1. My memory says it was an August date, and September 1 is my birthday so I'd think I'd remember. I guess I'll check my old passport- I know I went to Canada on the day of Mario/Crono. Though I don't know if they'd have stamped it. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Karma Hunter posted... My projection currently has Sonic just a smidge over Mewtwo right now, which is pretty bad. I'd take Sonic over Zelda 1v1, but I wouldn't like it. I like how people are seriously considering Zelda > Sonic at a time where Sonic's series has gotten resurrected while Zelda's has hit an all-time low in terms of popularity (unless you want to account for the MM/WW nostalgia boost). --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |

I'd
take Sonic over Zelda without too much fear. He beat Ganondorf pretty
easily. Yes, there was a pic advantage, but even without it, Sonic
looked like he would have won pretty cleanly. As for Charizard = Zelda, I have no explanation. But I'd consider an A > B > C > A loop. I've always been open to the idea. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |

Jill being weaker despite getting not just a new game, but the most well-liked Resident Evil since RE4? And despite other PS1 characters doing well?
