Why would pokemon fans vote Pikachu over Blue? Ughhhh |
This is the biggest mystery of this contest |
Lightning Strikes posted...
Snake totally needs a big boost to score 53% on Crono. I know X hurt Mario there but please do not forget that it was a day match that heavily favors Mario over Crono. I would say this Sora is even weaker than his 2010 iteration, just look at his first 2 matches and Riku's performance. --- Man is not the creature of circumstances.

Lightning Strikes posted... Yuri_LowelI posted...Denzokuken posted...Snake can't win because Smaus is pretty much guaranteed a place in the final, and Snake can't beat her. My evidence is that he's had several boosting factors. Stop using 3 way performances as evidence. Kafka is unknown. --- http://i.imgur.com/ooexO.gif |

Fr0zoN posted... Why would pokemon fans vote Pikachu over Blue? Ughhhh Nintendo and Pokemon aren't exactly the same thing now. Pikachu gets a lot of his votes from Nintendo core fanbase. Blue is mostly Pokemon. Weak one at that. You put Red in this poll. Red would probably win it outright. Pokemon fanbase doesn't given. Crap about Blue. It's not hard to understand. --- http://i.imgur.com/ooexO.gif |
Just to catch up on the last topic since I missed it! I'm glad someone remembers ReSTALLver LOSSalot. Perhaps my finest Stats Topic moment aside from my "Proof that Magus is overrated" rant from 2005 (although it turned out to be giving Magus a bit TOO much credit...!). Also, just so everyone knows, I'm officially retiring the Nomination Rally Tournament. It will be replaced by the Pokemon Rally Tournament instead. Top four Pokemon will get pushed hard by B8 for some more scrappy, plucky fun! We'll also have our customary Returners Tournament, for the honor of giving one Pokemon a second shot at glory! Who will win the epic battle between Lucario and Nidoran F? Stay tuned! --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |
I'll be pushing very hard for Metapod. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
Actually this performance by Pokemon isn't that crazy,it only projects Pikachu a 60% win on Sora Give Pikachu 100% of Blue votes,he only gets 62% on Sora Of course some people prefer Blue>Sora>Pikachu,so at best Pikachu ends up with 60% on Sora...it can be even worse |
Pokemon we need in replacement of jokes like missing no Lugias and magic Karp. -Gengar - dragonite - mega blastoise instead of squirtle - geodude. --- http://i.imgur.com/ooexO.gif |
We
obviously need to get Nidoran M in the next character contest to act as
a base, and see if he outdoes Nidoran F. Does Pokemon Jug Factor exist? Anyway, who gets second (or first!?) next round, Squirtle or Pikachu? --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
"Only" a 60% win on Sora. That's higher than Charizard was projected to get on Sora in 2010. Granted, this is a weaker Sora than this, but this is also 24 hour Sora, so he should actually get to be at full strength for once. --- http://gifsoup.com/view/874243/big-boss-o.gif |

What's
Sora's chances of coming back in this match? He's stalling pretty well
now, and he's supposed to be a day vote beast, right? e: I guess the better question is, how many rallies does Pikachu have right now? --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
Sora's chances of coming back are pretty much nil. Under normal circumstances, they'd be great since Kingdom Hearts's day vote is as good as there is. But these aren't normal circumstances. --- http://gifsoup.com/view4/2077316/thane-dance-o.gif http://gifsoup.com/view1/1334641/pop-that-collar-o.gif |
Pikachu doesn't have any rallies He got a bad rally at the start that had like 5 comments and purged very fast Anyone that says otherwise got a rallyphobia |
So Pikachu's doing this without rallies? He's still beating Sora despite that huge 20% anchor of Blue holding him back? --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |

Well, Pikachu doesn't need a rally at the moment. But if Sora starts threatening to take the lead, he'll get one. --- http://gifsoup.com/view4/2077316/thane-dance-o.gif http://gifsoup.com/view1/1334641/pop-that-collar-o.gif |

Which really is another step towards LOL Groose. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
Pikachu
and Sora would be difficult to rally for, Blue is the rallyable
character in this poll and he's out of contention. It should be a fair
match barring poke shenanigans at the end, I don't see anything
sustained happening. |
I don't know if Gordon or Leon got screwed more |
By
the way, Pikachu has been ridiculously stable this match. The
difference between his peak percentage and base percentage (not counting
the board vote) is 1.15% so far. --- http://gifsoup.com/view4/2077316/thane-dance-o.gif http://gifsoup.com/view1/1334641/pop-that-collar-o.gif |
Oh actually the /vp/ rally didn't purge But it got like 30 comments and had 2 hours without a single comment... And I doubt it gives Pikachu more votes than it gives Blue |
Actually, Viewtiful Joe would probably be the most embarrassing defeat for Gordon Freeman since Tina Armstrong. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |

I... am not actually surprised by this result. I picked it in the guru and my Expert bracket. Sora has just looked off,
and Pokemon have been beating far stronger opponents (Mewtwo >>
Sonic, who also trashed Bowser, who trashed Sora 2010), Squirtle >
Cloud, who at least pulverised Leon. Mostly though, KH has not had a
really solid performance for many a year. Even GOTD saw KHII get
battered by TP in the day - nearly a 60-40ing. Sora was poor in 2010. He
didn't do anything worth much in rounds one and two here - Sub-Zero
nearly lost to The Boss, and he didn't put too much distance between
himself and Scorpion. The only reason I had to doubt Pikachu's ability to win this was Charizard needing heavy rallying to fend off Zelda, but I think that's largely because Zelda, as a series, is just that resilient to SFF. It's not for nothing that the few poor performances Pokemon has had in recent contests have came at Zelda's hands - Charizard/Zelda, Mewtwo/Ganondorf, GSC/MM. Even when RBY got knocked out in the 2008 Games Contest it required OoT's presence. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
LeonhartFour posted...
And the main character is much weaker than Chie, who would have thought ? |
And now there's no Zelda to keep Pokemon in check and look what's happening! --- http://gifsoup.com/view/874243/big-boss-o.gif |
This
is really weak from Sora, not without precedent since he's looked that
way all contest but seems KH3's announcement and the impending 1.5 hd
release hasn't done him any favours. People just seem to be moving on
from Kingdom Hearts. |
I am sure that when KH 3 comes out he will get a boost. As the FF characters too. --- 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~ |
Ramza seventh strongest character in the division? I'm okay with this! --- And then the car wash cost five dollars. |
I'm not so sure, Safer. I think lightning might be closer to the truth - it's maybe not that people
in general are moving on from Kingdom Hearts, more that GameFAQs is.
Make no mistake, KH3 will be huge in the broader gaming world, but I
don't think it will make that much difference on GameFAQs, where the
voters are old, cynical, and weary of new Square and KH in particular.
2003 is a long time ago. --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
Well
at least more people will know the FF characters and the KH characters
at least. Still nothing will be as big as when KH 1 came out of course
but still. --- 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~ |
Also does anyone can say who will be in the final match? Snake is a lock. Even if there is a huge rally for Squirtle, Pikachu will get around half the votes so Snake wins But that is. I can't even predict the others. Yeah Draven beat Link but he was weaker than Round 2. If he is weaker again Mewtwo can do it. As for the others... Yeah I have nothing. So that is for me. What do you believe? --- 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~ |
Lightning Strikes posted... Yuri_LowelI posted...Denzokuken posted...Snake can't win because Smaus is pretty much guaranteed a place in the final, and Snake can't beat her. People have generally been saying that MGS characters are doing well this contest. In hindsight however, you're right: there's no real indication of this. I think people just saw Snake's Round 2 blowout, where he did better than Link against a common opponent, and jumped to conclusions. I think some or even most of us pre-contest expected MGS characters to boost from the MGSV announcement. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Wait, is Kefka really the bastion of consistency now? --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
I was watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAzzbrFgcUw
again just now and thought - what if someone tried to rally at a major
college football game? Like, via the scoreboard or pa system. That could
put Draven's rally to shame. --- Be a good little washing machine, now... o_0 |
Pokemon is invincible. I mean, Blue is currently putting up a decent SFF fight. He has yet to simply roll over and die. He's doing better than Ness, Wolf, Magus, and Yuna in their respective SFF battles this contest. And yet Pikachu doesn't give two *****. How is this happening?

AxemRedRanger posted... Sora vs. Vincent who ya got? I find it completely unbelievable that Mortal Kombat actually DROPPED since last contest, considering how the series' biggest game since the 90s and what's oft-considered the best game in the series period was released since last contest and got a ton of marketing and rereleases. I mean, I can understand that seeing how fighting games aren't really this site's cup of tea and how Mario characters did worse in 2008 than in 2007 despite the series' biggest game since the 90s getting released in that timeframe, but man. Then again, perhaps that's just the problem: one big release for a series that has amounted to nothing for about a decade seems to never matter here. Super Mario Galaxy was pathetic in our games contests and literally the only good match it has ever had was it not getting SFF killed by Twilight Princess in Game of the Decade. The game has shown signs of boosting since then if you buy into the Game of the Generation poll (I think it did 10% better against Twilight Princess than it did in GOTD, and the TP/Brawl ratio stayed practically identical), but who knows? The Sonic franchise may have gotten itself back on track, but no one outside of Sonic fans really considers Colors or Generations to be anything other than "merely good" games, and Sonic's games have consistently dropped the ball in these contests to prove that not many actual fans of the character exist on this site. Similarly, GameFAQs has pretty much NEVER cared about non-SSB fighting games. Street Fighter IV ended up boosting pretty spectacularly between games contests thanks to Super Street Fighter IV, but thanks to GameFAQs not caring about 2012 games all of Mortal Kombat 2011's rereleases couldn't do jack squat to help the game or its series' popularity on this site. Literally the only thing going against this is how Donkey Kong did very well in the first round of this contest, and since he got his biggest game since the 90s since last contest it made perfect sense for him to boost. Now though? Who knows. I don't think it's really a Mortal Kombat drop so much as it is an across-the-board decline in strength for characters who depend on having "badass" character designs, and perhaps MK2011 helped to mitigate the fall for its characters. But who knows? --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
