Julian_Caesar posted... Scarlettail posted...Either way, Charizard actually has to win first. I don't think his match is at all secure yet if Zero gives way for Mega Man. Nope, we've seen Tifa in a fourway with Sephiroth. She managed to hold up well enough to advance one round, but as soon as other halfway decent entrants entered the fray, she was in last place. Of course, she seems to have retained a greater portion of her old strength than the rest of the FF7 crew, but that could just be because of TJF, which I'm pretty sure is independent of SFF. charmander6000 posted... If we see the Charizard that went 50/50 with Zelda I have a hard time seeing him winning. 1. Look at all of Zelda and Ganondorf's past matches against Nintendo characters ahead of them on the totem pole (other than Link). Zelda-Samus 2006, Zelda-Mario-other things 2008 (for two rounds!), Ganondorf-Samus 2005, possibly the two rounds of Ganondorf-Luigi 2007, and even Mario-Vivi-Ganondorf here. There are a lot of overperformances. 2. Charizard's round 2 match was before the Mega Charizard announcement. Given the way Mewtwo seems a lot stronger than he did last contest, when the rest of the Pokémon already looked strong, I'm expecting a boost from his Round 2 strength. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar.

Saying "the stats predicted the match!" is utter horses*** revisionist history. Because it's not traditional LFF. It's just sucking up the casual votes. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
I honestly don't believe in "Mega boost" I know we had brought this topic alot but...I just can't buy it Unless you are going to say that Squirtle>Cloud because of Mega Blastoise or something... I wasn't here during the 2007 contest I believe..? so im not really sure if "Brawl announcement boost" was a real thing I can understand if it boosted Snake and Sonic because they "became Nintendo" but I can't see it doing too much boost for "omg Luigi announced to be in Brawl" just like I can't see "OMG MEGA CHARIZARD! im going to vote for him against Mega Man now!" |
As
far as Red vs. Blue goes, Blue seemed to be at Fox level. Probably
slightly better if you figure Fox killed Wolf so badly that any
remaining Wolf voters wouldn't have preferred Fox over Blue very
strongly. Both Squall and Fox had matches with Snake in 2010 and based
on that Squall narrowly fails to 60-40 Fox. Red currently has 39%
against Squall and another FF character. That's probably a little better than Blue but not by much. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
I love seeing all of this JRPG fanboy crap everyday on the front page. |
Yikes,
Squall losing to Vivi. Was there any rallying today, or is this just
the bandwagon from beating Mario? Unsurprising match outside of that! --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Rallying
was sort of present for this match for at least a couple points but not
for that long overall, not very effectively, and definitely not in
numbers that would have changed Vivi > Squall. I'm thinking part Vivi
and FFIX-boost and part bandwagon. Squall would probably lose to Vivi today 1-on-1 based on those alone but between the bandwagon, the board vote, and the early rally, I figure Squall got behind Vivi by so much that he was sort of abandoned early out of hope that Vivi could beat Red. As the match continued that began to look impossible while Squall's natural strength began asserting itself. Squall has consequently done way better with the day vote than I would have figured, though I'm not an expert on Vivi vs. Squall's trends. But like, in the last 3 hours, Vivi has gained 169 votes on Squall. In comparison, Vivi was up 172 votes on Squall by the first post-freeze update. Could be entirely wrong though! --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Squall
has close to FF7 trends, I believe. He's risen a little more than I
would've expected in the day, but he hasn't risen much since the night
vote, where he recovered the most. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Whaa... Im tied at 162 points in the leaderboard? how did this happen? I was always behind by god knows how much And I have -144 in this round for my expert even though my expert was faaar better than normal bracket before this round It's weird..but it's probably thanks to my Mewtwo>Sonic pick |
Nanis23 posted... Whaa... this round has been hell for the expert challenge |
Just letting everyone know mewtwo might be able to beat draven if there isn't as much rallying as before. play.pokemonshowdown.com (message an admin to announce it, don't know if they will) serebii pokebeach /r/pokemon /v/ /vp/ |
Match CXVII: (1) Mega Man vs. (2) Zero vs. (7) Charizard Previous Round Mega Man – 56.67% Jill Valentine – 23.08% Kratos – 20.25% Zero – 41.72% Rikku – 29.43% Weighted Companion Cube – 28.85% Charizard – 41.49% Zelda – 41.43% Donkey Kong – 17.08% Analysis Out of the top Pokemon Charizard has yet to show the power of what the others have shown. His performance against Zelda was not impressive and should Mega Man have boosted with the Super Smash Bros. announcement it is quite possible that he loses even with Zero in the poll. It makes no sense for Charizard to perform so badly, maybe Link fans were getting ready on their assault against Draven or maybe Zelda is just Pokémon’s kryptonite. Despite Zero looking great so far this contest with Mega Man here there is no chance for him to avoid last. Like in previous meetings Zero has held up quite well against Mega Man and has avoided massive SFF that we have seen between Nintendo and Square characters. The sad part is that this inability to fold will likely be the major reason as to why Mega Man will lose the match. Pokemon has been quite lucky with LFF, but their luck may soon run out in the final matches. I feel Mega Man has a great chance at winning this match. Looking back at 2008 Solid Snake was able to get 62% on Mega Man with Zero in the poll, not exactly a large scale beating. That number however would be enough for Charizard to at least threaten Mega Man. Another thing Mega Man has is the Super Smash Bros. announcement and for the previous two rounds he has looked quite impressive. Just because there is LFF it does not mean the character automatically loses. Just look at Pikachu a few matches ago. I still believe Charizard will continue the Pokemon tradition and win this match, but should Mega Man SFF Zero by more than he has previously I could see the upset occurring. Should Charizard win it would mean we have 5 Pokemon in the final 9, not exactly the variety you wanted to see. charmander6000’s Bracket: Mega Man > Zelda and Zero charmander6000’s Prediction: Charizard – 39.22%, Mega Man – 35.44%, Zero – 25.34% --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 146/225 Today's Pick: Mario |
I
think Mega Man doubles Zero. Last time, he got 62% on Zero, and MM has
every reason to hold up/boost better than Zero (unless MvC3 worked
wonders). I mean, hell if I'm betting against Pokémon at this point, but
I think it's going to be close. Maybe Pokéclutch will have to kick in. --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |
It
just occurred to me that consistent Missingno. results in Tidus
59-41ing Amaterasu, almost what Luigi got. I feel like Amaterasu >
Tidus would actually be a popular upset pick if they met up. Also a Squall drop having caused this result probably means Amaterasu would had to have fallen a lot with him. Not something I'd expect, especially after MvC3. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
I'm
worried about the next match. Charizard > Mega Man seems like the
"obvious upset" considering the 3rd character, but the fact that I've
been wrong about every match in this round short of Draven should say
something. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
I
think it's getting unwise to question Pokemon. I also feel skeptical
about this match and Charizard, but I have to remind myself that Pokemon
has come through every time so far despite doubts. |
Scarlettail posted... I think it's getting unwise to question Pokemon. I also feel skeptical about this match and Charizard, but I have to remind myself that Pokemon has come through every time so far despite doubts. We've seen that Charizard without the bandwagon is nothing special. However, we aren't seeing the Charizard bandwagon. We are seeing the entire series of Pokemon bandwagon, and it's going to roll all over Mega Man now. Char may not even need Zero to do it. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service!

Squall, finish this tourney strong... and start gaining momentum for the next tournament. You're still the most successful non FF7 FF character. --- KB |

Pokémon was already putting up godly numbers before the Charizard tank. Squirtle dominating a debated match, Pikachu stomping Chrono Trigger… --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony.

Well, this might be our last interesting match of the contest, with everything after pretty much predetermined. |
Out of curiosity, I think Mega Man vs. Sephiroth would be close, maybe even in favor of Mega Man now. But if this was, say, Sephiroth vs. Vincent vs. Charizard, I'd still see the Zard winning. People talk about losing to Zelda but this was probably the day before the Draven match so Zelda fanboys may have been more in force or something. Zelda's also a lot stronger than people give her credit for. --- Currently Playing: Persona 3 FES Currently Reading: Nothing Currently Currently Watching: Dr. Who |
Pretty
sure Mega Man straight up beats Sephiroth and maybe Cloud, now. Both
have looked so pathetic that Sonic would likely give them a scare. --- Allen didn't screw VV, Phoenix Wright didn't screw VV, Mewtwo certainly did not screw VV, nor did paulg screw VV. Vincent Valentine screwed Vincent Valentine. |

intuitive understanding is Charizard will wafflecrush since megaman
isnt super strong anyway and zero will be sapping a bunch of votes. Now
