Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted July 17, 2003 Snake vs Raiden is the best first round match. That will be a blow out for sure. I'd be willing to say Raiden at least gets 20% of the votes. But it won't be like Olimar vs Mario... Damn that's just sad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Nightscrawler Report post Posted July 17, 2003 So far I've only lost points in picking Crash, Scorpion and Conker going over. Even though I could of sworn I picked Yoshi... Anyways, the way I got my brackets set up, I got Link vs. Sephiroth in the finals with Link going over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jimmy no nose Report post Posted July 17, 2003 Today was the first time I looked at my bracket, I filled it out a long time ago. I went 8/16 because I stupidly picked favorites rather than thinking about other people. I know I could've called most of those now that I really thing about it.

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2003 Even if I end up doing really well, I somehow screwed up the Tie-Breaker. I don't know if I misread the question or made a terrible typo, but I gave the answer "935" for the amount of votes the winner would get in the final round. I think I gave that answer for amount of votes they would win by. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Flyboy Report post Posted July 17, 2003 I put "2500" as my tie-breaker. That's still way too low. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JaKyL25 Report post Posted July 17, 2003 I put 60000 as my tiebreaker, and I think even that's too low. Flyboy, you're not doing too badly, provided that the 6 you missed are all people that are going to definitely lose next round (i.e. KOS-MOS, Fox, Squall, probably Zero, etc.). You'll still get the point bounties if you have the winner of each later round match predicted correctly, regardless of who you predicted their opponent would be. Plus, the matches each round are worth twice as much as the previous round, IIRC. You didn't pick Sora over Aeris, did you? That's the only really big honest mistake in judgment that I can see someone making that might come back to haunt them. I mean, yes you're fucked if you picked CATS over Crono or AiAi over Link, but who would do that besides the few people going for a perfect 0 points? My current record--13/16. Damn you Squall/Bowser/Zero! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Flyboy Report post Posted July 17, 2003 You didn't pick Sora over Aeris, did you? No, I did not. ALTHOUGH, I did pick Master Chief over her. I have MC going to the finals. *shrugs* I wanted him to be my "Syracuse", but I doubt that happens. Oh well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JaKyL25 Report post Posted July 17, 2003 Hey, you never know. There could be a sudden realization by Square fanboys that maybe, just MAYBE, the Xbox hate is a bit prejudiced, and they should vote from their hearts instead of their "allegiences." In other news, flying sows have been reported having snowball fights in Hell with monkeys emerging from Hitler's rear end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JaKyL25 Report post Posted July 18, 2003 8:00 A.M. Eastern time, and Shadow is whooping on Wario really hard. I honestly never would have guessed. I didn't think that many people had played Sonic Adventure 2. Everyone's played at least one game with Wario in it, I would think, if you count the Mario Party/Kart/Tennis/Golf games. 14/18.

Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted July 18, 2003 (8) Wario vs. (9) Shadow the Hedgehog This should be a decent contest. Although, I want Shadow to win. Wario will, but it's Shadow I want to get the duke. Wario with the Bullcap (or whatever the proper name is for the cap). ^I can't believe I got my wish. Shadow is winning~! But still though, that is a bit of a shocker. I mean, who was truly expecting that? Wario 38% Shadow 62% At this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JaKyL25 Report post Posted July 19, 2003 B-b-b-b-b-b-b-BUMP! Pac-Man vs. Kefka is close. TOO close to call. Kefka's up 51% to 49%, with less than 1400 votes between them. Not good for Kefka, not good at all. HOLD ON, BUDDY! I think some credit has to go to this SHITTY pic: Ugh. Poor Lettuce Kefka. Well, there's SOME good news in all of this.

Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted July 20, 2003 This thing sucks. It's so predictable: * If a character is from SquareSoft, it will win. * If a character is from Nintendo, it will win. * If a character from Nintendo is facing a character from Square, the one with tits will win. * Similarly, if two characters from other companies will face off, the one with tits will win. * If both characters have tits, then tit size will be the official tiebreaker. * If it's MALES from Nintendo and Square, fanboys will masturbate furiously while stuffing the ballot box and making stupid comments about who's better and who could beat who in a fight. * Old school characters will get DESTROYED by today's latest CG-made teen with a 20 foot sword, angst issues, and highly feminine build.

Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted July 20, 2003 Also, in the world of RPG villains, or even RPG characters of either light or dark, Kefka is so superior to Sephiroth. Seph is like the Undertaker to Kefka's Eddy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Mr.Negativity Report post Posted July 20, 2003 Also, in the world of RPG villains, or even RPG characters of either light or dark, Kefka is so superior to Sephiroth. Seph is like the Undertaker to Kefka's Eddy. In my opinion Sephiroth was a better villain than Kefka. Kefka was pretty one-dimensional and I thought Sephiroth was developed well. There's no bias in my opinion either as I liked FF6 better than FF7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted July 20, 2003 JaKyL25 and Jobber got it right. I really, really hate the current Square and their crappy, boring, angsty characters. Kefka is cool, but vs. Pac Man? PAC MAN?! Bomberman doesn't have a chance, even though I like Alucard (for his godlike powers of asskicking, not his fruity bishonen appearance). Shadow over Wario shocked me. Although that was a cool idea for a matchup--Mario and Sonic's evil twins vs. each other. Kirby BETTER beat Ramza. Knuckles has no chance against Yuna. Snake better kill Raiden.

Snake better kill Raiden. Yah. Kefka over Pac Man is a travesity. Considering Pac-Man was like the first video game most people from the start of the gaming generation played. Well, at least that was mine. Bomberman is pretty much toast. Sadly, he should deserve a better fate. Bishonen + Fruity = Chick Votes (or so it's been said). Shadow over Wario renews my faith that maybe Knuckles might upset Yuna. Shit, Wario has his OWN brand of video games and Shadow had NOTTA. That right there gives me hope that people don't vote for Yuna just because she's a Squaresoft chick that looks like someone ya'd screw. Besides, Knucs was always the better character (or at least in the comix I used to read). Actually, considering Kirby now has a TV show (it's on FOX KAYU) he might actually get the win. Besides, losing to Ramza is a crime because he well... Isn't really anyone special in the gaming world (sorry FFT fans, I love the game, but Ramza is pretty unglamourous). Snake vs Raiden? WTF is ANY MK guy in this tourney? They like NEVER get enough votes for a win and usually end up on losing side (unless paired against someone like Nooks or something).

Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted July 21, 2003 Ok, now that totally makes sense. If Raiden beats out Snake though The Final Fantasy games are beloved by dopey girls, however, MGS2, while liked by a wide variety of people, was utterly crapped on because of the Raiden thing. At least the FF games have many characters in them, while the main controllable character in MGS2 was Raiden, plus he was a "surprise." He's far too hated to win. As for Knux/Yuna, I think he'd have had a good chance back when Knuckles was still a hot character (so much they gave him his own game--although on 32X). Right now, he's just one face in the crowd of other Sonic Adventure characters. Shadow is relatively new and mysterious, and many fans debate his death or survival (naturally, it's just an excuse to bring him back or leave him dead depending on how fans reacted--I think he'll be back for sure). Yuna is still a fresh character and is going to be getting a prominent role in FFX-2, so I think she'll win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
