Yeah creative we were given the ability to change the '09 Games Contest bracket, and these are the swaps we did 11) Super Street Fighter II Turbo ('92-'94) (this game was later removed and replaced with Mortal Kombat 2) 12) Super Smash Bros. ('98-'00) (this game was later removed and replaced with Soul Calibur) 13) Fallout ('95-'97) (this game was later removed and replaced with Donkey Kong Country 2) 14) Golden Sun ('01-'03) (this game was later removed and replaced with Fire Emblem) 15) Panzer Dragoon Saga ('98-'00) (this game was later removed and replaced with Deus Ex) 16) The World Ends With You ('07-'09) (this game was later removed and replaced with Street Fighter IV) --- thengamer.com/guru | thengamer.com/xstats | board8.wikia.com Oh gosh, you really should listen to The Show! |

It
looks like roughly half the pictures are overtly biased toward Squirtle
(Squirtle stands out in all of them naturally as part of his base
appeal, so this is only accounting for the ones where it looks like the
picsmith actively tried to rig it on top of that). That's a sizable
disadvantage, but not drastically different from the Kirby match. I'm not sold on Squirtle > Kirby naturally in R1, but at this point in the contest, bandwagoned against Cloud, he probably is. Advantage Squirtle. Cloud is naturally stronger than Sephiroth, and has probably fallen less than him given that he's the main character. Advantage Cloud. Squirtle is going to be rallied, and more than Kirby was by a significant amount. Advantage Squirtle. Cloud has a 24 hour match, and Seph in his 24 hour match got 53% on Kirby despite a significant rally. Advantage Cloud. I'm going back and forth on whether Leon's presence hurts or helps Squirtle relative to Big Boss. I'm going to go with helps, because Leon has no potential to sunder any rallying like Big Boss. Advantage Squirtle. I'll predict Cloud gets 51% on Squirtle, but being a Pokemon at this point in the contest means that Cloud could lose this match by a surprising margin. Like, look like he would have a close match with Dante surprising. save_us.draven --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
Squirtle better than Draven. The only good Pokemon, really! --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Don't make me actively rally for Draven I will become this contest's salvation through destruction --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
Prepare for 60/40. Cloud's got this. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |

My hopes are slim, but Squirtle at least has the potential. |

BleedingRed posted... 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?Snake is likely stronger than Cloud whether the latter steamrolls Squirtle or not. "Not coming close to losing to Squirtle" is not a feat of strength for a guy that used to be the #2. It'll only mean he might make it respectable against Snake. Every time you post, I kind of get the sense you haven't seen any FFVII-related results later than 2009 or so. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |

GlaDOS
is one of the stars of the contest. I think she's going to continue to
grow in strength, too. Portal's going to be the kind of game people get
particularly nostalgic for. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |

If
GameFAQs is to change, then let it change. If I must rally for a
champion everyone else will hate as much as I do five of the Final Nine
being Pokemon, so be it. If my fate is to buttmad... I must simply LoL! --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
God Kefka why can't you make up a measly 100 votes Anyway, I don't believe in Squirtle here. Sure, Cloud will draw a lot of antivotes, but his base strength should be high enough to stop any Pokemon you put here besides maybe like Mewtwo Charizard or Pikachu. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Also,
I'm calling Sora > Blue > Pikachu right now. I have to believe
Gary Oak is going to be the favorite among Pokemon fans despite
Pikachu's wider appeal; this'll be Kefka > Zack all over again. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
If it's Draven against Pokemon in the final, I'm voting Draven. If it's Draven against Snake and Samus in the final........sorry KH, I'm voting Draven. If it's Draven against a former character battle champion in the final, I'm voting the former character battle champion. Gotta keep the champions club as small as possible for His Royal Radiance. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
By that logic, Samus has already won a contest anyway! --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
Samus
and Mario haven't won any contests. Link won both of those. I'd
almost say Sephiroth hasn't won a character battle either- I guess I'll
credit him with.....enough to vote him over Draven. He's already won a
joke contest, having him win another joke contest doesn't harm our hero
so much. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |

Though I haven't actually voted for Link in a final or Link/Cloud match since 2005. 2006: Cloud 2007: Cloud 2008: Crono 2010: Cloud My memory is very fuzzy on 2003, but I think I bracket voted for Cloud over Link, so I've actually voted for Cloud more than I've voted for Link. Well, I support having a different winner some of the time......as long as it's one of 3 characters. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
BleedingRed posted... AxemRedRanger posted...Right. Cloud only beat Snake by a few percent that year, FFVII has been in a long-term decline, it's been three years since that contest, and FFVII has indeed looked notably worse than 2010 based on its performances this contest. Cloud went from 66% on Ryu in 2010 to 64% on Frog this contest. Sephiroth only got 57% on Big Boss and wasn't too far from losing to Kirby. Vincent looked terrible against KOS-MOS even if you excuse his Round 2 loss.BleedingRed posted...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?Snake is likely stronger than Cloud whether the latter steamrolls Squirtle or not.

God, this result is so disappointing. Where is George Romero when you really need him??? --- 243 character battle royale? My head hurts. RIP: Tnote827 - 4/4/05 |
red sox 777 posted... If it's Draven against Pokemon in the final, I'm voting Draven. so I take it you will vote for L-Block in the final right ;) |
Shaped like a boot to salvage this site's dignity. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
What is more likely? Squirtle beating Cloud, or L-Block beating Samus? |
Probably the former, but not by too much. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
This_Contest posted... What is more likely? Squirtle beating Cloud, or L-Block beating Samus? Squirtle beating Cloud. |
I'm pretty surprised at the lack of support for Squirtle in the Oracle. If this was a 12 hour match Cloud would have a huge chance to botch this. Squirtle will get rallied/bandwagoned much harder than Kirby. Also, who do people think is strong - Kirby of Mewtwo? Mewtwo has looked great but Sonic and Bowser clearly destroyed each other there. I'm having a hard time getting a real read on Mewtwo. This_Contest posted... What is more likely? Squirtle beating Cloud, or L-Block beating Samus? Both are extremely possible IMO, but I think Samus is in severe danger of losing to L-Block. Tifa being such a strong and independent force means the non-joke LFF will be very heavy. Plus I think people realize that if anyone will beat Draven, it will be L-Block. So it might get a small boost from that. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
L-Block. Our best hope to stop Draven. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Almost Squirtle time. Just don't look bad is all I ask. |
Man, this would be a pretty epic set of final updates if the margin was about 97 votes closer. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
