And yeah Cloud is in trouble with those pics, as if he wasn't in enough trouble already. These Pokemon style pics are especially rigged against their opponents: http://img.gamefaqs.net/images/cbnine/battle/5257-04.jpg Cloud is going to have a hard time winning 12 hours into the match. His main hope is the last 12 hours. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Just saw KH's sig. League of Downtime. Perfect! --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
creativename posted... And yeah Cloud is in trouble with those pics, as if he wasn't in enough trouble already. Is it wise to underestimated Cloud? Seph wasn't great, but he did fair decently all day long. Squirtle will have to be quite strong to beat Cloud, and I hope he is. |

charmander6000 posted... Games contest, quick run a NRT. please, he's gonna give LoL all day and night (aka multiple rounds) before it goes up against a real heavyweight |
I
hope it's a games one. There's been a ton of big hits since the last
one, and I'd bet it'd be more competitive. Besides LoL running away with
it, of course. |
besides some from the pics, is there any SFF between Cloud and Leon? --- "L-Block 2007 Character Battle Champion"Always remember "L-Block, shaped like a boot to kick your ass" |

Remove League of Legends, Add Super Smash Bros. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
charmander6000 posted... And if there is, I hope people are smarter with their Add/Remove crap then they were last time. That's one of the reasons why.

What is this add/remove stuff? People actually got to anti-nominate things last contest? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Besides LoL running away with it, of course. eh, I'd think Link was far more capable of leeching votes from Draven then OoT would be from LoL as a whole besides, Allen will probably do his best to tank natural votals lower beforehand....! |
Hopefully in a games contest there would be a limit of say, 3 games per series for a 128 game bracket. |
Kefka still trying to troll even this late into the match. If only 20 votes/hour didn't seem like such a monstrous hurdle in this match of epic stallness. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
What is this add/remove stuff? People actually got to anti-nominate things last contest? Yup during the 2009 contest --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 128/189 Today's Pick: Solid Snake |
scaryice posted... Hopefully in a games contest there would be a limit of say, 3 games per series for a 128 game bracket. Why? There's easily 4 LoZ, SMB, and FF games that deserve to make a 64 entrant bracket, let alone 128. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Hopefully in a games contest there would be a limit of say, 3 games per series for a 128 game bracket. I don't think we need that, just remove the generation split. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 128/189 Today's Pick: Solid Snake |
creativename posted... Scarlettail posted...I hope it's a games one. There's been a ton of big hits since the last one, and I'd bet it'd be more competitive. Besides LoL running away with it, of course. I actually think Link, being from multiple Zelda games, is better than OoT, which is just one game. You also doubt the desire to troll of LoL fans and rallies. They don't care what the opponent is. The only hope is if they get bored. |
creativename posted... What is this add/remove stuff? People actually got to anti-nominate things last contest? Basically, it was to remove a game from the bracket and replace it with another one. My gripe with it was that out of the games that made it in on the add/remove basis, only one (Mortal Kombat II replacing Street Fighter II Turbo) was actually worth it. --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul!

Honestly series with many games will just hurt each other in nominations like FFVII characters --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 128/189 Today's Pick: Solid Snake |
Fayt_Esteed posted... creativename posted...What is this add/remove stuff? People actually got to anti-nominate things last contest? I'm just proud of the fact that my topic got Deus Ex into the contest, even if it didn't do very well. --- you just can't live in that negative way...make way for the positive day |
OOT vs. League of Legends. Augh. They can even ruin a 1v1, no generations game contest. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
red sox 777 posted... OOT vs. League of Legends. Augh. They can even ruin a 1v1, no generations game contest. Don't lose faith! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
red sox 777 posted... OOT vs. League of Legends. Augh. They can even ruin a 1v1, no generations game contest. I told you so and SBAllen would deliberately manipulate the bracket so LoL wouldn't even face OoT/FFVII/RBY until the semis anyway, you know it to be true....! |
Actually, I sort of forgot Shepard was in the match. Well Link wins 1v1 easily, so......maybe OOT has a shot. The problem is I'm mostly convinced there was stuffing going on for Draven, SBAllen had no way of catching it, and the stuffer was capable of more. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
charmander6000 posted... And if there is, I hope people are smarter with their Add/Remove crap then they were last time. Remove Golden Sun, Add Fire Emblem (in a match with Melee) --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |

Match CXIII: (1) Cloud Strife vs. (5) Squirtle vs. (4) Leon Kennedy Previous Round Cloud Strife – 49.47% Frog – 27.74% Lugia – 22.79% Squirtle – 44.08% Dante – 31.55% Zidane Tribal – 24.37% Leon Kennedy – 39.73% Gordon Freeman – 33.45% Shadow the Hedgehog – 26.82% Analysis Funny enough is that Leon has now missed a rematch with Dante as many times as he has fought him. While Leon has always showed that he has strength he is just outmatched by the competition here. I have been waiting for Leon to be given an interesting match for a long time and as Resident Evil 4 gets older time may not be on his side. There was some debate about the upset and while it could still happen I do feel a lot better about Cloud. Sephiroth was able to stop the panic and defeat Kirby without too much trouble once the anti-votes died. It is still clear that Final Fantasy VII has become weaker, but it has not totally dropped off the face of the Earth. With Cloud being stronger than Sephiroth it would take quite a lot from Squirtle to win. The good thing about 3-ways is that it can give us a bit of perspective. As amazing as Squirtle looked against Dante I feel we should be looking at Zidane. His performance against Zidane still gives Squirtle a lot of strength, just not the “I can beat half the 2010 noble nine” strength Dante was showing. One thing Squirtle has is Pokemon XY hype is getting stronger and stronger and with the RBY starters given Mega forms it could translate to a mid-contest boost for Squirtle. I give Squirtle a realistic chance against Cloud, but I feel he will not be able to take the upset. Still Mewtwo’s performance against Sonic is quite concerning. Cloud may not be like his old days, but he still has strength. Also like Kirby did with Sephiroth Squirtle is going to stand out in a lot of his pictures which may give him a bit of a boost. charmander6000’s Bracket: Cloud Strife > Dante and Leon Kennedy charmander6000’s Prediction: Cloud Strife – 39.73%, Squirtle – 37.67%, Leon Kennedy – 22.60% --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 128/189 Today's Pick: Solid Snake |
I'm sticking with Cloud because Kirby couldn't even beat Sephiroth including all that pic standout. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
On paper, it shouldn't look that different from Sephiroth vs. Kirby. But you never know with Pokemon --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
I still have some faith in Cloud. --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
At least make this interesting, Squirtle. |
Remove Golden Sun, Add Fire Emblem was basically the dumbest thing B8 ever did --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Ocarina
of Time could probably stand up even better. That is a huge game
everywhere, even if Link as a character isn't. A 1v1, no generations
game contest would be great, though. Even with LoL! --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |

red sox 777 posted... Actually, I sort of forgot Shepard was in the match. Well Link wins 1v1 easily, so......maybe OOT has a shot. The stuffing is a problem, but it took 1) 3-ways and Shepard LFF 2) 90 minutes of downtime when Link was murdering the poll 3) Draven going from even with Shepard to 280-300 vote updates out of nowhere during a time when his rally had the lowest visibility 4) That downtime buying time for the stuffer/"rallies" time to form up again 5) Allen saying those who missed voting in the downtime "could vote again" - showing an inconceivably bad lack of understanding of how voting works In other words, it basically took an act of god and supreme admin incompetence/unprofessionalism for Draven to beat Link. In a 1v1, I have a very hard time seeing anything beat OoT. The main problem is that after the Hyrule Screwjob vote intake is likely to go down again next year, in addition to the natural reduction of traffic. Thus making rallies easier. But every single factor in the world had to go against Link for him to lose. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

But every single factor in the world had to go against Link for him to lose. Actually, our vote totals have been pretty stable since June of 2012. Starting with June of 2012, every month since then has maintained average vote totals of around 40000. I think we've hit rock bottom for vote totals and they shouldn't get any worse than that. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
creativename posted... The stuffing is a problem, but it took man, imagine how ineffective reddit would be if we even had 2010-level votals |
1337gamerpr0 posted... creativename posted...The stuffing is a problem, but it took depends on if the stuffer could manage more to stuff more votes. in theory they should have a finite limit due to running out of proxies, but what that number is we don't know. --- "L-Block 2007 Character Battle Champion"Always remember "L-Block, shaped like a boot to kick your ass" |
Replacing
Golden Sun for Fire Emblem was ridiculous. Golden Sun wouldn't have
gotten SFFed as badly, and it's stronger as well (see: San Andreas) --- "You are insects railing against the heavens. Your actions will change nothing." - Uhai, Fire Emblem 7 |
So
when Cloud absolutely steamrolls Squirtle are people going to attribute
that to Cloud being strong or pokemon being weaker than expected and
Snake is still better than Cloud etc? --- "When we can no longer change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." Aatrox - Riven - Tryndamere |
Squirtle got this --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
im317 posted... depends on if the stuffer could manage more to stuff more votes. in theory they should have a finite limit due to running out of proxies, but what that number is we don't know. well even running off of GoTD and its ~90k vote final, Link would start up....I don't know, 40k at minimum from natural gamefaqs votes? |
1337gamerpr0 posted... im317 posted...depends on if the stuffer could manage more to stuff more votes. in theory they should have a finite limit due to running out of proxies, but what that number is we don't know. my point is its not about how many votes link can get, but how many can be stuffed. so long as they can stuff close to what link gets then link will lose, since Draven or whoever is getting stuffed will have some natural votes. --- "L-Block 2007 Character Battle Champion"Always remember "L-Block, shaped like a boot to kick your ass" |
