GameFAQs Contests

Pokemon fans are seriously the most dronish ever. Remember how some argued that the big Pokemon all had basically the exact same strength? Yep, here they are, going 50-50.

This is glorious. Even if Squirtle and Pikachu could somehow be fused into Mega Squirchu or some other crap conserving 100% of their strength, Snake would still destroy.

So I just woke up and checked the results...
1)Sephiroth above 23%. I didn't expected that. And I even saw that in SNV he got over 38%. Nice.
2)Snake is doing very good and that makes sense. Also I do wonder if Sora was here instead of Pika what would happen?
3)Also it seems that L-Block will hold the lowest prediction percentage for a match ever. So that means that L-Block>Draven!

Not really nice,as there was no rally for about half the match

We currently have Zack > Cloud in the stats, but I doubt Squirtle's day vote lets it remain that way.

Also, I kinda hope we get a nailbiter between Mega Man and Samus tomorrow so Bacon has no idea what pics to use for the bonus match until the last minute or something.

Wake up to a literal tie between Pikachu and Squirtle.

It's neat and kinda funny they're having such a close match. It's not like either of them had a chance against Snake anyway, even if one got SFFed to the ground, so at least they're entertaining us with a rather hilarious match.

A good trainer loves all his Pokemon equally. It's clearly stated in the trainer's handbook.

Pokemon don't need no boring hierarchy! It's why Allen is clearly having an all Pokemon contest next year!

So I think the banner is doing something. Votals feel elevated, especially for an SFF match. Unclear how much of that was due to the early rallies though. If the banner was yellow or red it would be much more noticeable.

We're about 2k ahead of Red/Vivi/Squall, which should also have less vote totals due to it being a SFF match.

Yeah the banner should be orange or lime green or something.

I think I heard somewhere that lime green is the color that stands out the most. It wouldn't be ugly either.

Right now the banner might help a bit, but most people aren't going to see it. It completely blends into the top menu.

I think the result is close enough, and things can get wonky in SFF matches, so this match could very well have a different result if you held it next week.

All we know is that they are pretty much tied in strength.

And with the Charizard flop thing - yes, he did flop, and "pulling a Sora" must now be "pulling a Charizard".

However I think if he went against Cloud instead of Squirtle, he would have gotten massive rallies and could have beaten Cloud. And Squirtle might have struggled to beat Mega Man too.

Both Pokemon and FF7 are extremely non-linear, so when you mix the two, you are going to get some crazy results.

My luck, the day vote will favor Squirtle, and he'll eat up Pikachu's lead and never give it back.

Hard to know
Leon was LPF'd to death,we still don't have a clear reading on Kefka,and Sora..well..Sora
Blue might be the weakest too for all we know,but he was under heavy SFF (and so was Zero,but we know Zero is very strong)

I would say it's a tie between Sora and Blue

I'd go with L-block.

Would you take L-block to beat anyone from that round 1-on-1?

I wouldn't.

I want a contest where victory conditions are more like the electoral college but global. Now that we have maps it seems like it'd be fun.

(from that other thread)
not that this would ever happen, but it'd be pretty interesting!
as a matter of fact, we could make the "electors" based on average votes contributed to PoTD over the time period in between this and the next contest

Heh... At least Sora didn't lead for most of the match only to choke it all away and lose at the end.
