Xuxon posted... From: _SecretSquirrel | Posted: 9/10/2013 2:04:39 AM | #244Not to worry, there will be no pluckier underdog in the next match than...Sephiroth. The Sonic division winner would have had a pretty good case there! --- 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... Where were these ralliers in Mario/Charizard 2010? Mario only won by 5500; that could have been swung with the numbers the ralliers put up against Cloud. And it would have been a genuinely shocking upset! What makes you think Charizard wasn't rallied in that match? After all, he got within 5500 votes! --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
Europe
is about to ruin yet another match. Do you remember 56-54-52-51-43-41?
I do! Those will be the numbers I mutter to myself in old age and
delirium.. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
paulg235 posted... Also, wasn't Sephiroth the underdog going into his match with Snake in 2010 after his pisspoor performance against Tifa? I can't remember. Yes although people held out hope that Squall could embarrass Snake, but he didn't. |
Link,
Cloud, Sephiroth, and Mario are never underdogs. Somehow Mario even
manages to avoid being seen as an underdog when he faces Link, even
though he's done it like 7 times and never broken 38%. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
tgs2 posted... paulg235 posted...Also, wasn't Sephiroth the underdog going into his match with Snake in 2010 after his pisspoor performance against Tifa? I can't remember. No, Sephiroth was the favorite on match day. Oracle Expectations were an average of Sephiroth with 51.23%, 47 favoring Sephiroth and 26 favoring Snake. Edit: Also Snake/Squall came before Sephiroth/Tifa. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
red sox 777 posted... Where were these ralliers in Mario/Charizard 2010? Mario only won by 5500; that could have been swung with the numbers the ralliers put up against Cloud. And it would have been a genuinely shocking upset! Mario/Zard got like 20,000 votes more than any match this contest not involving Draven. These crappy votals make the rallies vastly more effective. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
Yes,
but the difference between Mario and Charizard was only 5556. They
were naturally close already. Unless, as KH theorizes, Charizard was
rallied in the match, and that is why it was so close. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |

He'd be an underdog, but he sure wouldn't be plucky. Now, the Sonic division winner would have lots of pluck. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
And
Crono is the greatest underdog in the history of these contests.
Although his underdog status has been blunted by his Noble Nine status
once that was solidified as a major thing in 2004-5. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
One-Winged
Angel is the perfect theme song for the underdog's opponent. The
entity who is about to blast you with overwhelming force. On Gamefaqs,
it could be called "Link's Theme." --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |

He regained it after 2007! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Crono's Brilliant Plan for Contest Victory: 1. Resign from the Noble Nine. 2. Restore his old status as an underdog. 3. Victory! --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
I'm taking Mega Man > Samus with ease if he can get through this one. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
Zero might break 20%. Early most impressive result of the match if it happens. |
If
we're talking 1v1, I'd be afraid of the core Nintendo fanbase falling
in line and supporting Samus by huge margins, giving her the match. With Red......the problem is Pokemon isn't that closely tied to mainline Nintendo. 'Tis interesting. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
Indeed, Mega Man having the strength to beat a Pokemon in a close match while leeched would imply that he could tackle Samus. But there's a psychological barrier there, too. Samus gets a Link-lite aura against anyone that isn't Link or Mario. Mega Man hasn't beaten a Noble Niner in eight years. And it was Sonic. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
Karma Hunter posted... Indeed, Mega Man having the strength to beat a Pokemon in a close match while leeched would imply that he could tackle Samus. I firmly believe Samus takes out the trash in that match (if Rock couldn't do it with his goddamn NES sprite against NES Samus, what chance will he ever have in the freeform round?) and yet...just how closely tied to Nintendo IS Mega Man? That's what the match comes down to. Not how strong Rock is, not how much Red leeches - it's all about whether Samus can bring down the SFF hammer on him or not, and use that to score an easy win. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
Nintendo
is not a monolith, as the 2009 Games Contest shows. NES/SNES Nintendo
games exhibit little LFF/SFF with each other, while for N64 and GC games
it is massive. Megaman probably overlaps quite tightly with NES/SNES
Nintendo, and is almost independent of later Nintendo. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
I
would really like Mega Man there. This would be a very impressive win
to score over Charizard if he could seize it. Samus did not have a very
impressive win over Tifa. Even if you assume Samus could undercut a SSB4
hype thing that's happening here, she likely can't kick the legs out
from 100% of it. Leaving enough to give MM the win. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
red sox 777 posted... And Crono is the greatest underdog in the history of these contests. Although his underdog status has been blunted by his Noble Nine status once that was solidified as a major thing in 2004-5. Hmm, Mega Man isn't doing that much better than Crono did in almost the exact same situation. You could almost say that this result is good for Crono's chances! --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
Well yeah. Crono and Megaman have always been close. Every single year without exception. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
I'm wary of picking anything somewhat associated with Nintendo over Samus that isn't Link/Mario. And yes that even extends to Snake. I'd pick him but I'd be nervous the entire time. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
ExThaNemesis posted... I'm taking Mega Man > Samus with ease if he can get through this one. Lol no way. --- http://i.imgur.com/ooexO.gif |
Whatever
happened in Mario/Megaman, Samus just needs that to happen again.
She's not Mario, but if there's any fanbase that does operate as a
hivemind based on hierarchies, it's Nintendo. Square fans will argue
with each other for decades about which character is better while
Nintendo fans are marching through the snow to vote for the straight
Nintendo ticket on election day. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |

Square fans will argue with each other for decades about which character is better while Nintendo fans are marching through the snow to vote for the straight Nintendo ticket on election day. What she really can't have is Red getting bandwagoned to first over both in the opening minutes and Mega Man happening to be closer than she is to him in that timeframe. Then it's abandonment issues all the way for Miss Aran like THE BABY --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |

Not this underperformance against tifa crap again. She didnt underperform. She had that garbage block to contend with. Samus would sff mega man a lot now. 1v1 would favour Samus a lot. Also people need to stop overrating Zard. --- http://i.imgur.com/ooexO.gif |

After
seeing Cloud/Squirtle, if Red is in first early on in the match it's
over. Rallies are powerful enough to overcome the very greatest of our
natural trends. And the greatest, biggest, natural trend shift has
always been FFVII's rise after its abysmal early vote. Unless the votals spike up towards Link/Draven levels or something. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
Well I'm not denying that. I'm just saying Samus would be hard-pressed not to come in third if it happened! --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
On
a differen note, goddammit, Zero. Rock's percentage shifts were pretty
much exclusively coming from him going up or down. Just fold already!
What the hell are you fighting for?! --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
MM fans not as well organized as Nintendo fans I see. Nintendo fans are even able to fall in line in real time, as the match progresses! See Pikachu/Blue. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
red sox 777 posted... Europe is about to ruin yet another match. Do you remember 56-54-52-51-43-41? I do! Those will be the numbers I mutter to myself in old age and delirium.. America is the only country rallying for Pokemon and othe jokes like l block. --- http://i.imgur.com/ooexO.gif |
And heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere comes Europe~ --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
I
wouldn't compare Cloud Squirtle Leon to a potential Samus Red MM.
Squirtle being the only Nintendo option is very different than 3-way
Nintendo. --- ... as if rights are like muscles - the more you use it, the better it gets. Indeed he may be exercising his first amendment-- but he's an IDIOT! - A. Scalia |
I'm so disappointed by GetMeOffTheMoon facebook page You would think that for a page that wants to show Capcom the fans care about Mega Man they would help with this poll..but no they ignored me Cool |
as we enter the third hour like the clockworkiest clockwork --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
Zero needs to lose 1-2%. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
ZFS posted... Zero needs to lose 1-2%. Europe could do it. But I doubt they'd be much kinder to Mega Man! --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
MegatokyoEd posted... I'm wary of picking anything somewhat associated with Nintendo over Samus that isn't Link/Mario. Samus did beat out Snake for her only championship win thus far. By a very narrow margin though, and if anything Snake has probably strengthened a bit. Of course even if both of them make it to the finals this round, Draven or Mewtwo will probably take it all the way. --- "How ridiculous and how strange to be surprised at anything which happens in life!" |
About the only thing positive in a Charizard win here is that Samus will cruise to the final. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Europe waking up! --- nt |
Samus is now the strongest Nintendo character left. There's no sff either so she will beat any Pokemon rallied or Unrallied. --- http://i.imgur.com/ooexO.gif |
This is the last match with a Pokemon advancing (unless Mewtwo pulls a miracle) so hopefully people will stop complaining now! Also the fact that /vp/ is so sick of this contest and deleted the Charizard rally and the whole internet is sick of it as well...yet LoL subreddit is so happy to have Draven Days...this is stupid |
As expected, Europe putting the match away. Time to check out! --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
Nanis23 posted... I'm so disappointed by GetMeOffTheMoon facebook page lol that's me who posted above you Wait til whoever admins that group sees our posts and posts the poll to the main page. --- FFIXOwner Bracket: 160/234 Expert: 594 (lol?) |
Karma Hunter posted... ZFS posted...Zero needs to lose 1-2%. Yeah, Europe will bury Mega Man. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
The Owner of FF9 posted... Nanis23 posted...I'm so disappointed by GetMeOffTheMoon facebook page No I didn't post there I ****ing sent a message to the admin and I was ignored It was 3 days ago so it's not like he didn't read it yet!! |
Nanis23 posted... This is the last match with a Pokemon advancing (unless Mewtwo pulls a miracle) so hopefully people will stop complaining now! once a loser, always a loser |
