Safer_777 posted... So for the weakest character in every round we have. Is this going by stats? Because I'd take Blue over Kefka easily. --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
Kefka got 35% on Snake, Fox got 32% in 2010 Would be close at least. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Congrats to raytan for winning the Guru Contest |
Blue/Kefka
to me basically depends on if it's a day or night match. In a 24 hour
setting I'll lean toward Blue because Kefka probably overperformed
slightly on Snake. Also, Pokerallies versus Final Fantasy. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Blue feels like the right choice there based on intuition. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |

As for the question how many stat topic we had this contest The first match of Link/Tingle/Isaac was the tenth page of 1056,so we can count from 1057 126? Can be more,depending on what you consider "This contest" (ever since it was announced? ever since nomination were open? or ever since the bracket showed up?) |
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/7-site-suggestions/67111376 Putting the PotD all over the site would just be really spammy. People not going to the front door of the site as often as they used to is something we plan to address soon, but taking the content from the front door and pasting it elsewhere isn't really part of the plan. Well, that's a wrap. Wasn't expecting anything much different than that but had to try (again). Thanks for the signs. Got any guesses about what he plans to add to the main page? --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO raytan NO PEACE] |
Maybe instead of a poll he changes the GameFAQs banner to let people know there's a contest going on. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Congrats to raytan for winning the Guru Contest |
A
high quality contest that people care about will help our vote totals
almost as much as anything else you can come up with. With no banner, no
actual rallying to speak of (no, red sox, the r/LoL victory thread that
didn't link to the poll doesn't count), in a 1v1 match that was
decently close-ish but never in question, Link/Snake outdrew every
single contest match that didn't have Draven in it. High-quality bracketmaking with characters people really care about. We want to see Mario/Cloud II. Mega Man/Sephiroth II. Heavy hitting iconic matches like Tifa/Zelda and Pikachu/Vivi and MMX/Sonic. 1v1. 24 hours. Final Destination. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
126
topics eh? Also it isn't based on stats, I just see all the character
and try to measure them how they will fare 1vs1 versus each other. So obviously in round 1 Chester loses to everyone. In round 2 I am sure that everyone beats Yoshimitsu 1vs1. Okay almost sure. Round 3... This is the hardest. I guess either Kefka, Blue or Leon. Round 4 is Red for sure. And obviously round 5 is Samus. --- 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~ |
AxemRedRanger posted... http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/7-site-suggestions/67111376 Shame that he closed the topic but you're right, getting the polls on every page was always a longshot. At least we got the nice compromise of the sitewide notification. Hopefully he runs that again next year but with the entrant names in red or something to draw a little more attention to it. --- thengamer.com/guru | thengamer.com/xstats | board8.wikia.com Oh gosh, you really should listen to The Show! |
clearly in CBX, Link and Snake should be retired for the Tournament of Champions ;) |
ignore the fact that Snake has never won a contest |
Snake
is probably the only character even remotely capable of breaking 45% on
Link today, which is... something. I don't think removing Snake is as
needed though, even if he can break 55% on every other character in the
field. ...even in that scenario, all you have to do is set up, say, Snake/Mega Man in an R3 sprite round. <_< --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Doubting Snake breaks 55% on the rest of the field. --- banana |
I
do too (as I said prior to Link/Snake, 54/46 is my inclination for
Snake/Samus). It's not outside of the realm of possibility, though.
46.5% on Link, any Link, should give the rest of the field serious
pause. But you can ensure Snake doesn't win a contest simply by using a sprite round, something Link is not vulnerable to. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
quick, let's copy Preston's idea of a 64-character contest with a loser's bracket! j/k |
I
would still say Samus/Snake is a closer match than Link/Snake. I don't
think Snake should be retired, though, even without a sprite round. He's
definitely beatable - it wouldn't take much shift back toward Nintendo
to seal that. I think a lot of winners open up without Link. Snake would
probably be a bracket favorite, but you can make a good argument for
others, too. --- banana |
The problem with Link is that he SFF most of the powerful characters Cloud,Sephiroth,Snake and lolCrono are not getting sffd by him,but FFVII looked bad this contest and lolcrono So it only leaves Snake to have a chance against Link next contest (assuming MGS V boost,LttP 2 being "ok" and no hyped console release) It also makes me wonder how much would this year's Mewtwo get on Link,using the "Pokemon resist SFF" theory Mewtwo with 40% sounds crazy? |
Well
Snake shouldn't be retired because there's literally no rationale to
outside of x-stats. Link, Cloud, Sephiroth, Mario, Samus, and Draven all
have far more 'official' reasons to be retired before Snake. I'm just saying even in a 'nightmare' scenario where no character can naturally break 45% on Snake, it's not quite the same as Link dominance, or even Clinkeroth dominance back in their heyday. He's probably to the rest of the field like Mario was back in 2005. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Link
1v1 versus a powerful Pokemon is something I'm quite interested in
seeing. On the one hand, Charizard/Zelda and Mewtwo/Midna suggest he
might be their kryptonite. On the other hand... Bidoof got 21% on
Link back when Link was a godstomper and Pokemon was still fairly weak
compared to today (Pikachu got blown out by Leon Kennedy that year). --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Pokemon doesn't do much resisting against Zelda! --- banana |
Mudkip was also beating on Ganondorf for hours and hours the very same year. The data is... inconclusive. And if Zelda does SFF Pokemon, then you better rally around Bidoof next year 'cause if he got the same jump all the other Pokes got he's gonna beat Samus next contest --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Haha Bidoof beat Samus yeah gamefaqs why --- banana |
Bidoof>Crono round 1 the curse lives on |

Biddoof and Mudkip? Are you serious? They were funny when they first came out but now? --- 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~ |

Reminder: 4chan rallies kept Mudkip ahead of Ganondorf for seven straight hours. In a match that got 140,000 votes. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
I hate to say it, but Bidoof and Mudkip were heavily rallied by 4chan. That's not their natural strength. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
I see no reason why they couldn't replicate that magic! Between 4chan rallies and
Pokerallies, there are very few things that would be safe from
something like Mudkip. Even if they didn't get rallied quite as hard in a
future contest that decline would be nothing compared to how much our
votals have tanked. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Slowpoke for Character Battle X to complete the 4chan Pokemon trinity DOESN'T THAT SOUND FUN --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO raytan NO PEACE] |
Slowpoke is easily the best of the three, though. --- raytan is the guru champ, yo yo yo He won it in the year of the draggy crow |
I'm
pretty confident Samus breaks 45% on Snake. She's never been much
below 40% on Link indirectly. In 2004, when Link was worth 65% on Mario
indirectly through Crono, Samus was still worth 39.5% on Link. I'd peg
Snake/Samus now as a 52/48 match or maybe a tad more. Now, Mario? Snake can get 55%. But I suggested that in 2010! So this contest hasn't really changed my impressions of these characters. Which is probably because we got so little in the way of good reads on their strengths. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Slowpoke Genwunner base Pokestrength plus joke votes plus Pokerallies plus 4chan say hello to your new contest champion --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Link: your hero, defending you from Pokemon. Remove Link from the bracket, and prepare to suffer the consequences. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
the consequences of Slowpoke beating Link directly --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Link
wouldn't lose that match if you put Ganondorf, Zelda, Midna, Marin,
Epona, Saria, Tingle, and Dark Link in the same poll. He'd break 90% on
Ganondorf if he had to. He'd rally on Reddit if it he needed to. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Ah, but what if Groose was in the match too? Surely he'd be the deciding factor! --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO raytan NO PEACE] |
http://i.imgflip.com/1bh6.jpg look into my eyes you fool witness my true form --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
You know what I would like? 8 Bonus battle, 24 hours, 1vs1, Link against each N9 member, 1 per day. That would be fine to see. --- 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~ |
I
was going to say Link would rally on Pokemon websites, but the Pokemon
fanbase is so dronish they could probably resist his call. Link will
have to settle for sending the site through a time portal back to 1998
and advertising the poll at both OOT launch lines and Pokemon hate
conventions. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
At
any rate, while there were doubts about Charizard before the contest,
mainly because it made everyone he faced overrated in the stats... what
the heck went down for Charizard to suck so badly??? --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
Nothing. He has the same power as Squirtle and Pikachu. Mewtwo was the strongest Pokemon this year because of bad ass factor. --- 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~ |
Pokemon antivotes --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. Raytan did pretty well. |
slowpoke gets this as his match picture http://cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/400x/35647500.jpg Zelda fanbase cascades into infighting of unparalleled proportions and leaves Link to do his best Spring Breeze Dancin' impression --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Safer_777 posted... Nothing. He has the same power as Squirtle and Pikachu. Mewtwo was the strongest Pokemon this year because of bad ass factor. I'd expect Squirtle or Pikachu to NOT drop the ball in that position... I mean, seriously? Couldn't even beat Mega Man despite Zero in the poll? What a loser Charizard turned out to be. --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
That's
okay. Link will rally the FFVII fanbase. The reason no one else has
been able to rally them is that Link has been keeping them locked up in a
country with no access to or communication with the outside world since
2004. He realized this was a necessary precaution after losing to
Cloud in 2003. Link selectively unblocks the internet during FFVII
matches for a percentage of the fanbase to maintain the appearance that
they haven't all been kidnapped. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Safer_777 posted... You know what I would like? 8 Bonus battle, 24 hours, 1vs1, Link against each N9 member, 1 per day. That would be fine to see. I'm not sure that would tell us much. Link would win every match easily, as expected. Mario and Samus would predictably underperform in such a way that we'd still have no clue what their actual strength would be like against other members of the N9. The better impartial gauge is actually Snake, since he's the one N9 member from his own series and it's so different than the other genres / companies / series the N9 are from. We know the percentage Snake would get against Link. Now, have everyone else go against Snake and we'd be able to have a fairly accurate ranking of the N9 based on the percentages everyone got on him. I guess you could argue a slight disadvantage for Cloud and Sephiroth if you really wanted to imply that their similar Playstation backgrounds with Snake's main titles would hurt 'em, but Cloud and Sephy aren't really relevant anymore anyway. And after Twin Snakes / Brawl / the X360 releases of MGS titles I'm not really sure it's accurate to suggest Snake's fandom stems solely from Sony affectionados anymore. At any rate, the SFF possibility isn't anything near akin to Link / Samus / Mario. --- The Legend of Snake: http://tinyurl.com/3cal86z The LoS Instruction Manual: http://tinyurl.com/3jlax8h |
Link
v Noble Nine in ascending order might be worth seeing to see if his
anti-votes build up from the frustration with the LAW and allow Snake to
catch him on the final day. Or red sox is right about Link fans taking their marching orders directly from Karl Rove and by the last match Link makes Snake look like Sonic. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
