Karma Hunter posted... HaRRicH posted...3) Mewtwo's beating Sonic despite Bowser. I'm not sure what's really dumb here, so I'll take a guess. Are you counting Sonic under 'Nintendo' in regards to Bowser? Because I think that fits to some degree (Sonic/Bowser was why I originally took Vincent to win this match...curses!) but this isn't a pure Nintendo-match like Zelda/Charizard/DK. Mewtwo/Bowser's overlap seems larger because they're purely Nintendo-characters. Interestingly, Bowser once beat Mewtwo despite Toad being there, so to see Mewtwo break the Noble Nine in the face of LFF from somebody who once beat him? It would have been a shocker in any other contest. --- T H E S T A B L E - bring on Epona! http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg |
I think Pokemon overlaps less with Nintendo than Sonic or Mega Man do personally. That fanbase is something else --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
armitage999 posted... L-Block winning this round at least would be wonderful if people get mad about it. Yeah lets make this contest about making people mad. It's pathetic how all these jokes are ruining the contest. To Dravens credit, he's just a rallied character from an enourmous group of dedicated LoL fans. Lblocks appeal was that of 5 years ago when he won because it showed how little you should take it seriously Him winning again would be more stupid than Draven winning it. If a pokemon won it it would be a bit more funnier. Stop riding on the L block bandwagon. Good joke in 2007 I voted for L block every round. After that I couldn't care less. --- http://s19.postimage.org/aosug5mrn/Persona4.png |
I would prefer L Block win than Pokemon --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
HaRRicH posted... Karma Hunter posted...HaRRicH posted...3) Mewtwo's beating Sonic despite Bowser. Despite is the wrong word to use. That's what he's talking about. It should be 'in spite of' instead. Really odd thing to nitpick, though. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
What KH means is that Mewtwo is beating Sonic easily because of Bowser. Bowser's presence is not something weighing Mewtwo down that make his victory here even stranger, it's probably why Mewtwo is winning at all. "Pokemon are resistant to other Nintendo SFF and LFF" and "Sonic characters are basically normal Nintendo for purposes of SFF and LFF" are pretty universally accepted theories at this point, right? Combine them and Bowser hurting Sonic more than he hurts Mewtwo is the logical conclusion and the poll results seem to bear this out. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
SubDeity posted... 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. The location tracker is wacky. I live in the area marked 'Calabarzon' in the Philippines, my friends and I voted for Link or Draven... meanwhile the map says that area was 100% Shepard. :/ --- Hentai? I didn't ask for hentai.

I
don't even know what to think. If this was a normal contest, I'd bank
on Sephiroth, but this is UpsetFAQs now so it's a total crapshoot. --- Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality |
TsunamiXXVIII posted... 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. Despite being multiplatform, tetris sales numbers say it's mostly a handheld game - http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gamehunters/post/2009/06/68024593/1 125 million copies total, 75 million copies sold mobile, 35 million of that is on the original Game Boy. I can't tell if this count includes the copies of Tetris that were once bundled with every Game Boy. --- Hentai? I didn't ask for hentai.

So Kirby > Seph > Big Boss? --- http://i.imgur.com/GUtJDs7.jpg Fact: Fanbases are unpleasable, deal with it. |
Lots
of people seem to be clamoring for a Kirby upset, and I just don't see
it happening. Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, and Nintendo are about
the furthest you can get from SFF/LFF in a single 3-way match. I'd love
to hear why people think that Kirby has a shot at this match, other
than "lol FF7." --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
FF7 and MGS overlap a lot, actually. Kirby could easily win tomorrow. Hell he could win even if MGS and FF7 didn't overlap. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page, Rest in peace Kazbar :( |

Dabrikishaw15 posted... So Kirby > Seph > Big Boss? While I think it's a bit farfetched, yes. Kirby > Seph > BB I mean, I told you guys that Mewtwo was strong enough to pull a victory and that Bowser would be third for sure, I expected that Sonic would be a tad bit closer though. My mind can't imagine a Kirby > Seph > BB but based on the pictures and how the contest has gone so far, I would do that. |

SubDeity posted... 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. Australian here (more specifically from Queensland). No one voting from the Northern Territory isn't at all suprising, internet is pretty scarce up there and the civilized population is very small. About Draven getting 0.41% in Queensland... that is odd, as there is a decent LoL scene here (not compared to USA size, but big for us). E.g. https://www.facebook.com/groups/413699025382759/members/ I personally voted for Link, and I wish I could say I got a massive local rally going. As for QLD itself, it wouldn't surprise me if we had less than 100 votes total. |
kirby
has always managed to put up good numbers on most NNs in more recent
contests. given the whimsical nature of this contest putting him moving
on isn't crazy. |
Greyfeld posted... UltimaterializerX posted...FF7 and MGS overlap a lot, actually. Kirby could easily win tomorrow. I think the origins of this are from when FF7 killed MGS in a match about 9 years ago: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/1653 --- Pokemon VGC2013 US National - 39th place Pokemon VGC2013 Worlds LCQ - Top 32 |
That PS1 nostalgia demographic --- Also since people will probably ask, we are indeed checking into the legitimacy of all incoming votes and so far, everything appears to be legit. - SBAllen |
I mean he beat vivi in a head to head match |
Team Rocket Elite posted... Greyfeld posted...UltimaterializerX posted...FF7 and MGS overlap a lot, actually. Kirby could easily win tomorrow. Yeah... I don't think I'd put any stock in that poll actually meaning anything. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
come on Sephiroth... it may not be beating Solid Snake but it's basically a proxy. If you pull this one off, you have a legit shot at the finals. Something you probably won't get again! --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
SecksThaNemesis posted... come on Sephiroth... it may not be beating Solid Snake but it's basically a proxy. Shouldn't you be a bit more worried about Kirby? --- Pokemon VGC2013 US National - 39th place Pokemon VGC2013 Worlds LCQ - Top 32 |
We are past worrying about stuff like Kirby. If we have to worry about Kirby, what's the point. Draven or bust. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
It's time for Sephiroth to lay down a 2003 style beating. He got nearly 62% on Mario once! --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Alright, so has the board come to a consensus on what to expect from Kirby/Sephiroth/Big Boss since this morning? --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
Sephiroth is so screwed. --- Tornadoman78: tornadoman and tornadogirl like to kick box each other in my tornaolayzers and she dosent even mind getting hit |
I believe in Kirby. |
I believe in the one with the sword I'm talking about Sword Kirby, of course |
Imagine if Sword Kirby was actually in the match pics. Link's revenge. --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |

Match CXI: (1) Sephiroth vs. (5) Big Boss vs. (4) Kirby Previous Round Sephiroth – 52.04% Morrigan Aensland – 26.30% Spyro the Dragon – 21.66% Big Boss – 43.63% Luigi – 42.77% Ness – 13.60% Kirby – 51.28% Elizabeth – 24.48% Crash Bandicoot – 24.24% Analysis As the noble nine keep crashing out it is Sephiroth’s turn to show whether he has what it takes to survive his division. Final Fantasy VII has not been looking good this contest and I would not have been surprised if Big Boss or Kirby outperformed what Sephiroth did last round. It is a bit difficult to pin-point where Morrigan and Spyro rank, but Cloud’s performance against Frog was essentially near-elite which definitely places Sephiroth in danger. Even if Sephiroth goes back to normal the fight between Big Boss and Kirby will be interesting. You can easily argue that had Ness not been in the match Luigi would have won over Big Boss and with Kirby not being too far off it could be argued that Kirby could win in a normal match. On the other hand I feel the year of Luigi media campaign gave Luigi at least a bit of a boost and with how well Metal Gear characters have looked it is possible Luigi is even stronger than what he got against Kirby in the past. Kirby does have the stand-out factor to work with. It helped him back in 2008 and I can see it happening again. It is not like Kirby needs a large portion to win; just a small effect will be enough to win. We also got a boost in vote totals since Link’s match, it may have been a one match thing, but if they remain that could help Kirby as well. I have no faith in Sephiroth. Final Fantasy VII is on thin ice right now. 24 hours may help with their anti-votes, but I feel they are just plain weaker. I would have the same opinion about the game even if Cloud and Sephiroth finished with 2 extra percent. I am going to go with the upset and take Kirby for the win, but I would not be surprised if Sephiroth woke up easily take the win. charmander6000’s Bracket: Sephiroth > Kirby and Big Boss charmander6000’s Prediction: Kirby – 35.27%, Big Boss – 33.42%, Sephiroth – 31.31% --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 119/171 Today's Pick: Sonic |
So,
um, what's the status on the reddit mods and the Draven rallies? The
reddit moderators started deleting some Draven rallies on the grounds
that they weren't related to playing LoL, but they're not doing so well
at that anymore: http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1lkzob/riot_if_draven_wins_gamefaqs_character_battle/ http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1lmfzu/victory_for_draven/ http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1llqav/a_call_to_action_draven_needs_our_help/ http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1llfa9/help_draven/ http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1lle4z/its_draaaaaaven_day/ http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1ll2sm/thank_you_for_voting_draven/ Is it because they've changed their minds and accepted them, they're just lazy, there's some stupid loophole or what? --- Harmony is peace.

Karma Hunter posted... Aw dammit did you guys really have to sabotage 1/8th of BB's votes if Big Boss wins this match we should give him all sprite pics next round for the good of this contest |
Giving
him a sprite picture this round wasn't the best way to get him through!
I mean we're only talking about an eighth of voters theoretically sure
but then again this is GAMEFAQS we're talking about I will never have
faith in the the voters ever again --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |

I'm starting to believe that Kirby > Sephiroth > BB can be a real thing. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
It's always been a really viable possibility! Kirby was possibly able to do this before FF7 fell off a cliff judging by his 2008 run. His higher than expected STF is just a bonus. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Sonic is bad data: Sonic's fourway performances were terrible. We all know this. My personal favorites were actually Sonic wins: 54.65% on Sub-Zero before the Brawl announcement and 59.76% on Magus. In 2010, Sonic got 54.61% on Kirby. In 2006, the year when Sonic pasted over 60% on Luigi and beat Crono, Luigi managed 52.31% on Kirby. Sonic did less than 1% better on Link than Luigi did. Despite both being night matches and Sonic not actually being a Nintendo character. Samus/Knuckles 2013 and Sonic/Knuckles 2010 projects Samus to get 60.42% on Sonic. Samus should not be capable of SFFing Knuckles worse than Sonic, so you'd think that would be generous to Sonic. Samus managed 57.51% on Sonic in 2004, so this doesn't even seem that impressive for her. For comparison Snake got 59.17% on Squall in 2010, and Snake was stronger than Samus that year! If Samus SFFed Zelda in 2010 and/or Zelda has boosted from Skyward Sword since then, Zelda putting up 36.15% on 2010 Samus suggests she is indeed very close to Sonic. Charizard barely edged Zelda out and she very likely wins a 24 hour match. If you give Sonic 70% of Bowser's votes here, he beats Mewtwo with 51%. If Mewtwo = Charizard, this backs up Zelda and Sonic being very close. See, Charizard being a potential Noble Nine beater in a fair match wasn't all that farfetched! Bowser has looked really bad since 2007, and his performance on The Boss this year was probably the worst of them all. Yet give Bowser half of Mewtwo's votes and he's at 44.5% on Sonic despite there being potential SFF and LPF. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Man, so boring. The percentages don't look like they have moved at all. --- http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17214034/CoW-bakedziti.gif They are oligarchs and racists clad in the skins of dead elephants."-GRRM on Republicans |
That'll
happen when the trends of the three characters are almost identical in
the match. The match happening in one hour should be a lot more exciting
at least in trends. Expect a terribad early vote for Seph, a beastly
overnight vote for Big Boss, and a really good day vote for Kirby. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
All three characters have similar voting trends. Tonight's match will be a bit more interesting --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 119/171 Today's Pick: Sonic |
