charmander6000 posted... I didn't see yo's post, anyone want to give a summary? It's at the top of this page. Edit: Or the previous page, since this post started a new one. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
where is the Blue rally bandwagon? damn it i really thought Blue would be the benefit of rallies to finish a distant second Don't expect rallies until Pikachu goes behind Sora --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 137/207 Today's Pick: Sora |
it's still up there! in a perfect world it'll stay there, but you know how things are. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |
If this match was a few days from now that KH1.5 boost might have propelled Sora past the rat. That said, the real shame is Blue falling behind this early. So much rally potential wasted. The man was driving limos full of cheerleaders when he was 10! You can't stop me from pretending that Gary Oak = Blue! --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.

ExThaNemesis posted... yeah guys let's all remember yoblazer's rage for years and use it to belittle him To be fair, that kinda stuff is why I only post here during contests. This board has a pretty vitriolic community, and it's definitely not a place I would want to spend the other 9 1/2 months of my year. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
Greyfeld posted... ExThaNemesis posted...yeah guys let's all remember yoblazer's rage for years and use it to belittle him uhh what? that kinda stuff only really happens during the contest. The rest of the time we're pretty chill until we get ravenous for a contest. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
So
assuming Sora's percentage on Blue right now is where he'd end at, with
non-rally votals, we'd expect Sora to beat Blue by about 5500 votes.
That's......within range, if the Pokemon fanbase wanted to humiliate us
enough. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
Oh I thought he really went off the deep end. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 137/207 Today's Pick: Sora |
I'm
always ravenous. I was kind of upset that I couldn't make it on the
Link/Draven podcast episode but I'm already thinking up some Pokemon
rants for the next one. I think people like me because I'm crazy. >_> --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/gdl8lcn.jpg |
It almost seems like this is being intentionally set up for Snake, but since I have nothing against Snake, I don't mind. |
Part of being a friend is making fun of them for stupid things they say during fits of anger. I couldn't imagine being friends with someone whom I couldn't crack jokes at their expense, or would feel uncomfortable doing the same to me. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Blue is starting to get killed, maybe Pokemon fans waited to see who started in the lead before voting. Clever fans... --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 137/207 Today's Pick: Sora |
Well then. How about it, Pokemon fanbase? Let's see a big rally for Blue to put Sora in last place! --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
ExThaNemesis posted... Greyfeld posted...ExThaNemesis posted...yeah guys let's all remember yoblazer's rage for years and use it to belittle him *Shrugs* I'll take your word for it. I find it hard to believe that people are only rude for a quarter of the year and suddenly become kinder and more understanding the moment the contests end. But I guess I'm just a cynical person. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
charmander6000 posted... Blue is starting to get killed, maybe Pokemon fans waited to see who started in the lead before voting. Exactly what I did, and this way instead of having squirtle/(charizard/red)/draven finals we get draven/snake/(charizard/red) |
Pokemon
has been such a monster this contest. It's clearly the number two
series on the site. It'd never get number one due to the SFF heirarchy
we've seen (Zelda>Pokemon>The Rest) but man. What power. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
I think a lot of us ham up the overreactions for lulz. Believe it or not I'm not punching holes in my wall right now. Though if Pikachu holds on I absolutely will. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif |
How
am I in 5th in expert? Very odd. Knew I'd probably get this one wrong
though, which I will, had Sora winning. Thought Blue would be more
competitive. --- ~ Ringworm ~ |
*Shrugs*
I'll take your word for it. I find it hard to believe that people are
only rude for a quarter of the year and suddenly become kinder and more
understanding the moment the contests end. But I guess I'm just a cynical person. We get too involved in contests. You may want to stay away for User of the Year and the Nomination Rally Tournament. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 137/207 Today's Pick: Sora |
charmander6000 posted... Oh I thought he really went off the deep end. Well, he did create what has to be the most disgusting Fakemon ever. I probably shouldn't stay up too late to chat, though. Want to be out of the house by about 9:30; I'm going to Yankee Stadium for tomorrow's game and we usually like to be there when the park opens (2 hours before game time and it's a 1:05 game). (rooting for the road team, of course!) --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
Well looks like Pikachu has this. I'm guessing next match is L-Block > Samus because rallying > GameFAQs --- "You are insects railing against the heavens. Your actions will change nothing." - Uhai, Fire Emblem 7 |
red sox 777 posted... Well then. How about it, Pokemon fanbase? Let's see a big rally for Blue to put Sora in last place! Wouldn't Pokemon fans voting in large quantity for Blue hurt Pikachu more? Unless they pull a reddit and given both Pikachu and Blue 20000 votes a piece. --- I'm a genius! Geniuses don't NEED medication! |
It's
hard for me to envision RBY beating the likes of SMW or SM64 in a fair
1v1 match, but after all this, you HAVE to take it. I mean, there's
almost zero logic that supports not taking RBY against any non-OoT game. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/gdl8lcn.jpg |
http://i.imgur.com/2zVGKl3.jpg Watch out Link. Pokemon is coming for you next time. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
Lightning Strikes posted... Pokemon has been such a monster this contest. It's clearly the number two series on the site. It'd never get number one due to the SFF heirarchy we've seen (Zelda>Pokemon>The Rest) but man. What power. Rallies and multiways are a powerful combination. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Pikachu's got this match on lock. Blue has a better chance of beating Sora than Sora has of beating Pikachu. There, I said it. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |

If
L-Block's rallies are anything like they were against Auron, Samus
cannot win that match. I think she has a chance because I think she's
one of a select few characters who it's not 'cool' to hate on. Which is annoying for me since I hate on her plenty! --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
Is all this Pokémon power only going to increase over the years, or is it just pure, unadulterated X/Y hype? --- Call me Mega, Megaman, X, or any variation/combination of the previously stated names. Official Liu Kang of the PS3 Mortal Kombat board. |
How is Sora not winning this?! *Throws bracket out the window* --- you just can't live in that negative way...make way for the positive day |
At this rate, I can't help but think Pokémon's going to become anti-voted again sooner or later... --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
oh wow to think of Blue possibly hurting Sora more than Pikachu is amazing --- They don't always think it be like it is, but it do. ~KF~ |
Probably. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |

Glad to see Sora drop this. What an awful protagonist. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
WarThaNemesis2 posted... Part of being a friend is making fun of them for stupid things they say during fits of anger. oh yeah i love that bit but some people around here remind me of that overreaction like it invalidates anything else I say. I mean, the things I say don't often need help invalidating themselves! --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
Don't worry Solid Snake has this. In a sea of jokes and Pokemon he will rise up and win. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 137/207 Today's Pick: Sora |
I'd
say if Draven hadn't fodderized X, none of this would have happened. If
Draven/X hadn't made Allen defend his "rally your own army!" stance,
lightning-02 might not have rallied for Vivi over Mario, for
starters(which kills Red). Nor Squirtle over Cloud. So in the end, it all points back to Kanz. --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
If Snake loses a Snake/Squirtle/Pikachu poll, I'm not sure what I would do. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
And
this match looks just about wrapped up too. Sora's the one who deserves
all the blame here. He's barely getting a third of the vote when he
should have little trouble hitting 40%+, and Blue isn't even being
cannibalized that badly. This is a laughably bad performance from Sora. I kinda feel sorry for Square this contest. Their prime games are so good but the company's total bungling of the past seven years has hurt everything from the Playstation era. Undeserved. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/NQTthNf.jpg |
kurtfisto posted... oh wow to think of Blue possibly hurting Sora more than Pikachu is amazing Well, remember that Pokémon and KH probably do SFF quite a bit. Kingdom Hearts' "mainline" entries may have been on Sony consoles, but the majority of games in the series have been released on Nintendo handhelds! And Pokémon is the king of Nintendo handhelds. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
ZFS posted... Lightning Strikes posted...Pokemon has been such a monster this contest. It's clearly the number two series on the site. It'd never get number one due to the SFF heirarchy we've seen (Zelda>Pokemon>The Rest) but man. What power. It's more than that. Pokemon is getting over 60% of the vote with Sora in the poll. Sora is no joke. Either of his two opponents would be beating him handily right now, looks like, if it were 1 v 1. Let's not sell the raw strength we've seen short. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |

Nor Squirtle over Cloud. it's always reddit's fault trust me, everything |
Taking Blue to beat Pikachu here based on Gary Oak memes never made sense. It would have been like taking Captain Falcon to beat Fox based on Falcon Punch memes. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
charmander6000 posted... Don't worry Solid Snake has this. In a sea of jokes and Pokemon he will rise up and win. I'll give him the win over the Pokémon--hell, I'll support it!--but not even the Solid one will withstand the mighty Draven. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
Sora
totally deserves this result. He was a complete proxy Kingdom Hearts
Hype - now that the series is getting older, we can all happily admit he
sucked and was never the reason for the games being good. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Pikachu
just keeps taking percentage from Blue. It's amazing. This fanbase is
literally evolving as we speak. It turns out the series is about
evolution: of the fans. This was where it was 11 years ago: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/975 --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
Fayt_Esteed posted... At this rate, I can't help but think Pokémon's going to become anti-voted again sooner or later... Can't wait for next round with Draven/Mewtwo/Sephiroth. Everyone will get anti-voted! --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site. We're not going to strip out the soul of the site. -CJayC |
"Kan is the reason the world is terrible." i can get behind this logic. hell, i think he could too and that'd just reinforce the point! --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |
This is such good news for Snake, too. This gives him a guaranteed spot into the finals and a guaranteed win
if Draven somehow f***s things up against Mewtwo. Those actually aren't
terribly bad odds. Draven couldn't rally as much for himself against
Link for some reason (probably topic deletions on Reddit and elsewhere),
and if mods are more dickish about deleting stuff against Mewtwo, the
Pokewin is very possible. Then it becomes Snake's contest. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/gdl8lcn.jpg |
