terrible BadTasteFAQs update --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Honestly,
because of Smash 4 and with this bracket setup (Mega Man/Mario/Samus), I
could potentially see Mega Man reaching the finals, where SFF keeps him
down to 3rd below Cloud/Snake. By the way, has anyone considered that we might see some weird rSFF in the final? For example, Link SFFs Mario pretty easily, as we've seen time and again. But could the Mario voters who side with Link over him potentially vote Mario anyway to try and keep Mario in second? |
LeonhartFour posted... Karma Hunter posted...That was the year Ryu put up 45% on Sonic, too. Don't knock KOS-MOS too badly, guys! Another reason why no one remembers it could be because it was in what's apparently supposed to be the worst character battle. So people were probably in a "get this the heck over with" mood. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |

Personally Mario is going to be taking my vote away from Snake/Cloud/HORSE. Clearly this proves Mario is going to LFF Snake and Cloud so Link wins by even more than normal. --- ~War~ |
Haven't we already seen Mario give Link a scare in Link/Seph/Mario/Vincent anyway --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Remember when people thought Mario was going to get last there? lol --- ~War~ |
LeonhartFour posted... The Owner of FF9 posted...So did I miss TRE's prediction rate post for the last matches, or has he not been doing them anymore? Oh ok. Because I can't WAIT to see the stats for this match. --- Operation Rainfall: Three for Three Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story & Pandora's Tower - released |
We've
had three matches so far where the pic made it look like two were
locked in a duel while the third was just off doing his own thing. In
two of them, the third character won (assuming Cecil doesn't pull off
any shenanigans here). I guess you should have been looking at your dueling opponents instead of begging for us to get you out, Master Chief! Also Kefka and Wrex stood out in their match pics while Chief didn't to the same extent - I'd argue that Chief and Yuna both equally stood out, and when two stand out, no one stands out. Pre-contest, I thought that Yuna could potentially skirt by on looking like some dainty princess character vs. two action guys. That's not exactly what happened, but she did end up standing out in the pic from a color perspective at least! --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
That
doesn't look good for Link, honestly! Link 2007 >> Link 2013,
Mario refused to fold despite having every reason to, and Seph got
closer than he should have despite Vincent being in the poll. If I had any faith Mario was gonna stand up like that to Link this year I'd be crowing like you wouldn't believe~ --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
From: FranzyvonKarma | Posted: 8/13/2013 4:29:32 PM | #458 Remember when people thought Mario was going to get last there? man i had one the lowest Mario predictions in that match and even i had Vincent well behind him --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |
Karma Hunter posted... That doesn't look good for Link, honestly! Link 2007 >> Link 2013, Mario refused to fold despite having every reason to, and Seph got closer than he should have despite Vincent being in the poll. What do you mean Mario refused to fold? He got well under 40%. |
In
all honesty I'm expecting something like what happened in the Battle
Royale for the Finals. Cloud was perceived as a mortal threat to Link by
his voters and Link just harvested Mario's soul for every last vote he could in defense. Mario got 24% on Link in the BR, and I expect a result more in line with that for this year's finals. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |

SFF is usually more extreme in multiway setups like that. The Battle Royale, that's folding. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Oh right, trend chart from the night match: Time | Red | Corvo | Sissel | Votes 0:05 | 72.31% | 14.88% | 12.81% | 242 1:00 | 73.00% | 16.69% | 10.31% | 4852 2:00 | 71.37% | 18.90% | 9.73% | 2847 3:00 | 72.34% | 18.17% | 9.49% | 2003 4:00 | 70.16% | 20.26% | 9.58% | 1639 5:00 | 67.93% | 21.31% | 10.76% | 1403 6:00 | 68.81% | 20.41% | 10.78% | 1308 7:00 | 67.00% | 21.66% | 11.33% | 1394 8:00 | 69.59% | 20.55% | 9.85% | 1766 9:00 | 68.77% | 22.40% | 8.83% | 1790 10:00 | 71.52% | 19.46% | 9.02% | 1973 11:00 | 70.75% | 20.80% | 8.45% | 2048 12:00 | 71.56% | 19.49% | 8.95% | 1888 This match went pretty much how you'd expect. Red starts off strong, drops a bit overnight, and rises back up late. Corvo does relatively well overnight. Sissel manages a few 10%+ hours in the dead zone as well. X-Stats: Pokemon Trainer Red – 50.00% Corvo Attano – 21.59% Sissel – 12.10% Red's prediction percentage was 84.25% --- http://i.imgur.com/M7vKB.gif |
Smash
4 will boost Mega Man relative to most of the field, but it won't
propel him toward Samus/Mario/Link. We already saw Samus beat Mega Man
despite a significant picture advantage for MM and Yoshi's presence in
the poll. Should he get there, I imagine Mega Man is stuck in third
versus Mario and Samus. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif |
I honestly don't expect a huge
boost for Mega Man. Certainly nothing like what Snake (or even Sonic
briefly in 2007) got. The hype for SSB4 is nothing like what Brawl had. --- http://i.imgur.com/M7vKB.gif |

Hey, he got way closer than a lot of people gave him credit for pre-match! What if the intra-true Nintendo fanbase split is enough for a boosted Mega Man who has hype factor what then Mega Man is going to lose to Charizard :( --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Question What hour do matches begin in USA time zone...? Is it really 12 am/pm? |
Wouldn't
Mega Man be significantly stronger if he could simply not be
turbofodder in Europe? Smash 4 could be very helpful in that regard. --- "Hamas isn't really a terror organization." -Terran [Evil Republican] Play Der Langrisser. |
SubDeity posted... Wouldn't Mega Man be significantly stronger if he could simply not be turbofodder in Europe? Smash 4 could be very helpful in that regard. Smash isn't popular in Europe either though (very little Nintendo is). --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner!

SubDeity posted... Wouldn't Mega Man be significantly stronger if he could simply not be turbofodder in Europe? Smash 4 could be very helpful in that regard. Europe doesn't like Smash that much either. I mean, it's better than Mega Man being virtually non-existent in Europe, but still. --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...?

Fayt_Esteed posted... Karma Hunter posted...Nintendo's not that popular in Europe, but it's nothing compared to Mega Man. I'm from the UK and pretty much didn't even know Megaman existed until I was 13 or something. I'm sure its the same for a lot of other people. You just dont see his games, tv advertisements or just about anything to do with him here. |
LeonhartFour posted... SubDeity posted...Wouldn't Mega Man be significantly stronger if he could simply not be turbofodder in Europe? Smash 4 could be very helpful in that regard. going from "Mega Man X loses to Jigglypuff in the UK" to "halfway decent" is a nice improvement on its own granted, given the state of the Wii U I suspect a Smash 4 boost isn't really in the cards |

Fr0zoN posted... Fayt_Esteed posted...Karma Hunter posted...Nintendo's not that popular in Europe, but it's nothing compared to Mega Man. Is it Capcom in general or just Mega Man? Finding it weird that they would just...not release MM games there |
Well
from what I gather, it's not uncommon in the UK to use "mega" to
describe something good, e.g. "Metroid Prime is mega". So may in the UK,
having a character named Mega Man is like having a character named
Great Man in the US? Or maybe it's because Mega Man's big games are all on Nintendo systems. --- I do not have a signature. |

So may in the UK, having a character named Mega Man is like having a character named Great Man in the US? lol, not since the 80s. might as well describe something as 'rad'. anyway, i was a big snes gamer back in the 90s, and i'm pretty sure the first time i ever heard of mega man was on this website circa 2003. for whatever reason (maybe late PAL releases, but a lot of games had that in the bad old days) the franchise never really took off here. --- 'We will see a similar beam of particles coming out of the soil on the other side of the planet.

Nanis23 posted... Fr0zoN posted...Fayt_Esteed posted...Karma Hunter posted...Nintendo's not that popular in Europe, but it's nothing compared to Mega Man. Just Megaman. Every other capcom series was easy to find without looking. Everyone had Street Fighter, Resident Evil etc. Even games like Dino Crisis were easy to find in shops. I dont think I have ever seen a Megaman game in a game shop. In fact the 1st time I heard of Megaman I thought it was some sort of TV show. |
Fayt_Esteed posted... Karma Hunter posted...Nintendo's not that popular in Europe, but it's nothing compared to Mega Man. Because for some reason or another his games were never marketed here properly in Europe and his character and fame never grew over here. Also the Megadrive(genesis) outsold SNES in UK. Megaman was a sNES character. I remember growing up as a kid and I actually had a SNES over Megadrive(in UK) but I never owned a single MM game. I would never ever find his games in the shop. First time I heard of him was actually in character battle in Gfaqs back in 2002 when I first joined the site. His games never took off. Even with smash bros appearance...they won't do much in europe. --- http://s19.postimage.org/aosug5mrn/Persona4.png |
Aaaaand Cecil's dipped below 34%. --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
He'll recover when the night comes, more important is that Pit is about to drop below 44% on Wrex :D --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
I
think I'm really glad I didn't pick Cecil, mainly because it would've
been so frustrating to get him beating Pit correct, only to lose coz of
Wrex. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
I
think Smash will do some real good for Mega Man, it's the best thing
he's had in a good while, since MM9, but yeah, not nealy enough to think
about threatening Mario in their match. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Mega
Man is in a position where he can't really do much with the Smash
boost. He's not challenging Mario and Samus, and he was already a step
ahead of Sonic and Crono. He might use it to beat Sephiroth, but hell,
he might have been at that level anyway. I doubt Snake is in play either
since he also has Smash support and will probably get in Smash 4 as
well. Sephiroth and Cloud are the only real goals for Smash-boosted MM. --- http://i.imgur.com/a4GuDV3.gif |
I think Snake probably misses Smash 4, honestly. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
