GameFAQs Contests
Rivalry Rumble Contest Analysis Crew
Applekidjosh’s Analysis (Note to my loyal fan: I don't believe this hubbub about "smartvoterfaqs" making a return and I think Ngamer is crazy. For this to be an issue there'd have to be some actually good rivalries in the bracket. In 4 out of 5 cases here I don't think the team is necessarily stronger than the sum of its parts. I'd love to be proven wrong since it'll make the contest more interesting, but there you have it) I MUST be crazy, since I find myself agreeing with AKJ here. 4 out of 5 of these rivalries being useless might even be underselling it; I could see it as more like 9 out of 10. My stance is just that in the few cases where SB did allow a real rivalry into his bracket (Ryu/Ken, Subby/Scorp, The Bosses) we're going to see some of that "synergy" or "SmartVoterFAQs" or whatever you want to call it, and the results just might surprise us. --- thengamer.com/guru thengamer.com/xstats board8.wikia.com You should search for The Show, the cool podcast featuring Guru Champ Black Turtle! |

North Division: Round 1 - Match 3 – (3) Kirby/Meta Knight vs. (6) Jill Valentine/Nemesis Moltar’s Analysis Kirby/MK Isn’t it sad, King Dedede? Jill/Nemesis You know, after ‘Butt’ and ‘Poo’, ‘Nemesis’ is kind of a letdown This should be a good match. In a bracket where one upset could spell victory for a lucky bracketmaker, each close match is extremely important. Personally, I feel that there are better upset picks than this, but there are also worse ones. Kirby and MK are the favorites here. Kirby beats everyone else here 1v1, and that includes Jill (yes surprise surprise things have changed since 2002). Regarding their respective partners, both Meta Knight and Nemesis aren’t bottom of the barrel fodder based off what we’ve seen from them in the past. They probably don’t make much of a difference in this match unless people are seriously considering the actual rivalry. Kirby and Meta Knight kind of have a rivalry, but more often than not they’re working on the same side. Jill vs. Nemesis is actually pretty legit, so that’s one advantage for them. This being a night match is also huge for them, as Resident Evil thrives in the night while Kirby is more day-oriented. The lower vote totals, as mentioned before, also favor RE. These little factors could add up to equal a seeding upset, but I’m not betting on it here. Kirby and Meta Knight are just flat out stronger than their opponents. Plus, they’ve had some very recent games to keep themselves relevant, while all Jill and Nemesis have is UMVC3 hype (and that’s certainly no Brawl hype) It’ll be a close match, but I don’t see Kirby vs. MK losing here. Moltar’s Bracket: Kirby/MK Moltar’s Prediction: Kirby/MK - 53% Lopen’s Analysis You might have people callin for an upset here. Mostly cause back in 2002 (!) Jill Valentine beat Kirby in a close match. No real reason to bite on that one, though. Even if this were 2002, I'm pretty sure Kirby's team would win. Meta-Knight just adds a lot more to the picture than Nemesis. Who likes that thing anyway? All but the most stalwart RE fans were scoffing about the guy's inclusion in Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3. So what I'm sayin is, unless the thesaurus factor is in full effect on Smart VoterFAQs (RIVAL = NEMESIS!! ... at least, Bacon seems to think so) then there's no real concern that Kirby loses, even if it happens to be a night match. Goth night owls like Kirby's sunny disposition anyway. He goes with their Hello Kitty backpacks and such. He hides the pain in their black souls. Lopen's prediction: Kirby vs Meta-Knight with 57.33% Leon’s Analysis It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost ten years since the very first Character Battle, and this match harkens back to a match from that contest, where Jill beat Kirby. Will we see a repeat here nearly a decade later? To be honest, I wouldn’t be shocked. I’ve heard some people throwing around the possibility of Kirby/Meta Knight beating Sonic/Robotnik (apparently they didn’t learn their lesson from picking Kirby > Sonic in 2010), but I think Kirby/Meta Knight losing here is more likely than them winning that match. I’ll tell you why. First, a large chunk of Kirby’s and Meta Knight’s popularity comes from Smash Bros. We’ve seen the Kirby series and we’ve seen Kirby Super Star in these contests before, and they didn’t do well. Kirby games have never done well in GOTY polls or other kinds of POTDs. The games themselves are not popular. Kirby himself is very popular, but his games are not. The fact that people may not see Kirby/Meta Knight as a great rivalry because more people know them and like them from Smash than the Kirby games themselves may be a hindrance. |
Secondly,
I feel like people may perceive Jill/Nemesis to actually be a good
rivalry. I’ve never played an RE game myself, but hearing RE fanboys
like yoblazer talk about this “relationship,” if it may be called such,
makes me think RE fans like this pairing. Plus, Nemesis isn’t as weak as
people think. He equaled Dr. Wily’s performance on Ocelot in the
Villains Contest. That’s not exactly an impressive performance, but it
does mean he’s not turbo fodder. Plus, Nemesis hasn’t done too badly in
those Favorite RE character polls we’ve had. Pre-RE5, he beat Chris
Redfield and didn’t finish that far behind Wesker. Plus, he handily beat
Ada Wong in both of those polls (which may be meaningful for a certain
other match), so that’s something. Thirdly, this is a night match. Resident Evil is noticeably stronger at night than it is during the day, and vice-versa for Kirby characters. I’m not going to pick Jill/Nemesis here, but I’m just saying this match is going to be closer than people think. Leonhart’s Prediction: Kirby/Meta Knight with 51.75% Kleenex’s Analysis Does anyone really think this match might be close? Okay, yeah, so Jill beat Kirby in 2002. There's not a single spot of evidence other than a nearly 10 year old stat that would support Kirby not dominating here. Kirby is definitely stronger than Jill these days, Meta Knight is almost assuredly stronger than Nemesis. No matter which way you try to spin it, things don't look good for the RE crew. I suppose you could go ahead and try to convince yourself that this being a night match matters, but it doesn't. Kirby and Meta Knight are going to lay a pretty brutal smack down on their opponents. I guess you could say that Jill and Nemesis http://wwwimage.cbsnews.com/images/2007/05/08/image2773178j.jpg will be seeing STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARSSSSSSS. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoPWALM2riQ&feature=related Kleenex's Prediction: Kirby vs. Meta Knight with 63.56% Applekidjosh’s Analysis AW YEAH KIRBY ROX METAKNIGHT ROX resident evil sux nobody cares about nemesis. We've got a character that's literally so powerful he was banned from official Brawl tournaments vs the prototype for the L4D zombies. And sorry Jill, Cuteness > TJF any day of the week (this has nothing at all to do with my choice in kawaii waifu dakimakura!~) This is easy. Nintendo wins. AKJ predix Kirby vs Meta Knight with 60.00% Dante’s Analysis Here we go – a match with two actual rivalries that’s looking to be decently close! Jill/Nemesis have an entire game dedicated to Nemesis chasing around Jill with a rocket launcher and the undeniably scary ability to open doors, and Kirby/Metaknight have… well, Metaknight is all mysterious and has a sword man. I’m pretty sure they had a side story in Kirby Superstar! I’m a big fan of RE3, I’ll openly admit – I’m rooting for Jill and Nemesis to take this so hard. All logic dictates they won’t though – Jill may be a midcarder, but she’s the master of barely losing matches she can win. Kirby on the other hand is stronger than I like to give him credit for; I mean he made it to the final 4 or something once. So yeah even with my trying to overhype jill and underhype Kirby I still have to be reasonable here. Winner: Kirby/Metaknight – 50.16% Whats with that look, I can predict this as close as I want to be shut up Guest’s Analysis - Yoblazer Kirby and Meta-Knight are huge favorites, but the Resident Evil duo actually have a few intangibles on their side, the most significant of which is the timing. We're still running 12 hour matches, and this one just happens to take place at night. Resident Evil versus Smash Bros. is about as extreme a day/night shift as you can get, and Kirby does not have a good night vote. |
Example:
Kirby faced Rikku (another DARKNESS character) in a night match last
time. He finished with 57.5%, nearly four percent lower than what he had
at the Power Hour, and over seven percent under what he had at
the freeze. Combine Kirby's ridiculous starting ability with RE's
traditionally poor board vote, and I think it's possible for Jill and
Nemmy to swing a big comeback here. Sure, if the puffballs open up with
65%, ****'s over, but if Team RE can hold them to the low/mid-50s
through the first couple updates, then they have a real shot. Another factor to note is Jill's impressive - and somewhat surprising - 2010 strength. She got over 67% on Niko Belic that year, almost the same percentage Kirby managed on GlaDOS. Jill's performance on Samus puts her at approximately Sub-Zero's level, which is better than what most people were expecting. I also think this is a case where we have to consider the "Rivalry Factor," and in this particular match, I call Jill/Nemesis the better rivalry. I'm not trashing Meta-Knight (he probably beats Nemesis with ease 1v1), but he brings nothing to his rivalry outside of Smash appeal, and Kirby already has that pretty damn covered. There's nothing respected or iconic about the Kirby/MK rivalry, and their games are terribly weak and quickly forgotten. Nemesis, on the other hand, may bring some recognition. He's got his name and face plastered all over RE3, and most gamers are aware that Jill/Nemmy is a highly regarded and cool pairing. And let's not forget Marvel vs. Capcom 3! While that one probably didn't help Jill specifically too much, it featured a ton of Resident Evil content which may have grown series exposure and boosted her indirectly. Ultimate MvC3, the upgrade to the original game, also releases in less than two weeks and features Nemesis as one of the new additions. Like I said, plenty of intangibles. All the intangibles in the world are meaningless, however, when your opponent is too strong, and I think that's the case here. Kirby shouldn't struggle with Jill. Meta Knight shouldn't struggle with Nemesis. The rivalry factor and night match probably isn't enough to change that. While fanboyism and a funny little twist of fate compelled me to take Jilly in the ol' bracket, I understand it's an upset special, and I won't do the same here. It would be dickish to screw over the Guests' point tally with my BRILLIANT MIND. That said, I will go with what I imagine to be the lowest Kirby score. Kirby/MK in a close one, blah. Oh wait, I forgot about Lopen. *glances up* Dammit Lopen, you're going for Jill? With THAT MUCH?! Man, I wanted the Crew Curse on my side! Crew Curse Lopen, CREW CURSE.

Kirby vs Jill Now we're talking- it's the first fun Contest match of 2011! (Sorry, I never gave Poo enough of a chance to consider that Ike match interesting.) First off, do yourself a favor and forget that Jill's already beaten Kirby head to head. Honestly, try to look me in the eyes and tell me that the 2002 bracket didn't take place in some kind of Earth2 parallel universe. http://thengamer.com/xstats/ranks.php?bracket=2002c You can't do it. That being said, Jill's still got plenty of things working in her favor. Resident Evil's got a great night vote thanks to Europe and Asia loving the series (and BTW, they thought Brawl really really sucked: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4193®ion=EUR ). She's also sporting the better rivalry in this case- I've always said that Kirby's appeal is mainly his character design and fan favorite status in the Smash series, two factors that SmartVoterFAQs would limit in this format. And even if none of the above pans out, I still don't see Kirby running away with this... he's good at hanging with characters he shouldn't (see: Sonic, miracle run in 2008), but never buries opponents (managed only 57% on Rikku last year, who should be around Jill's level). Unfortunately for Jill, this happened: http://image.com.com/gamefaqs/images/rivals/rivals-03.jpg Sure, she looks great, but you don't bet against Kirby in a Smash Bros. setting [see http://thengamer.com/xstats/pics/kirby08.jpg ]. Especially not when teamed up with a character so popular (broken?), he's been banned from professional Brawl tournies!

Sonic vs Catherine The best thing about getting involved in B8 sub-Contests is how they allow you to have a little fun with even the dullest matches. To wit: Sonic will have no trouble with Catherine whatsoever, but I've been having a really tough time nailing down a percentage ever since I saw that kao went with a 75% line for Spread Betting. Catherine was something of a niche release, but the Atlas fanbase is about as hardcore as they come, and the game seemed to be reviewed well and turned into a decently-sized hit. No idea what would happen in a match between these girls and the Earthworm Jim couple (aside from that it would draw about 39 votes), but Mario's 85% spanking yesterday does leave Sonic plenty of wiggle room. I just wonder if 3D Sonic has become so despised [see: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4074 ] on this site in recent years that the series is no longer capable of blowing anything out. In the end though, it IS still a day match, and Sonic Generations DID just hit shelves two days ago. That's got to be worth something, right?

Guest’s Analysis - SuorGenoveffa Hey guys! Here I am giving a write-up for this for the first time, and my english kind of sucks so here's hoping that what I wrote here is understandable enough. So, we've got Ike and the Black Knight facing Conker and a big pile of **** in the first round. As someone who nominated and supported both of these rivalries, I couldn't pass on the opportunity to give my take on this. You know what? I had a somewhat lengthy write-up here (yes, longer than this), but the more I look into this match (and the match picture for Ike/BK, amazing take on the rivalry, whoever did that), the more I'm convinced that I'm right. History shows: Conker? Sucks. Conker beating Zidane, even in the day? Not happening. Ike? Beat Zidane in a day match in the last CB. We could count facts forever, want more? Conker's Bad Fur Day got roflstomped by Perfect Dark of all things (Rare SFF sounds like a very weird reason for this, an FPS SFFing a platformer?); Pikachu trashed poor Banjo so hard in 2010, I'd find it weird if Conker was stronger than Banjo. Contest history is bringing proof against Conker from all sides. Dude, you're the first person I've seen that has questioned why things from the same company but different genres are supposed to SFF each other. I agree completely. Forget my theory about Game Boy-dominant entities resisting SFF from console Nintendo because Nintendo had complete control over the handheld market for a solid decade (between the demise of the Sega Game Gear and the debut of the PSP); this is why Pokémon doesn't get SFFed by other Nintendo things. It's an RPG! Yes, Mario has RPGs, but he's a platformer star first and foremost. Legend of Zelda is often grouped with RPGs, but Link hasn't had a true RPG in over two decades. (Although he does make an appearance as dummied-out data in Golden Sun: The Lost Age.) This probably accounts for Samus's improved numbers against other Nintendo characters since contests began; the Metroidvania format that her early games helped to codify is just a specific variant of platforming, but the Prime games are more FPS than Metroidvania. Way to challenge the status quo. --- mnkboy: I think they've put on their "scare new users away" pants. Haguile: Wouldn't it be easier to scare new users if they weren't wearing pants? |
Nintendo
is a different thing altogether IMO, it's a very compact voterbase with
an usually clear hierarchy, and having a glorified fighting series
about its popular franchises just adds up, it's the reason why we see
Ike beat Zidane in a match and then perform like 16-seed fodder against
Mario in round 3, despite the fact that the genres of their games
couldn't be more different. Perfect Dark SFFing Conker sounds like a bit of a stretch though, as they probably have very different fanbases aside from Rare fanboys, which I'd bet is a quite rare (lol, gotcha that?) category, especially now in 2011 after Rare became irrelevant. I don't know if anyone seriously argued Rare SFF for that match though. |
North Division: Round 1 - Match 4 – (2) Sonic/Dr. Robotnik vs. (7) Katherine/Catherine Moltar’s Analysis Sonic/Robotnik Yeah I’ll say it, it should have been Shadow here instead. Katherine/Catherine Shame that Katherine is holding the superior Catherine back here The C/Katherine’s impressed in the vote-in polls by...not getting last place. I give the credit to the emerging competitive Catherine scene, so good. I think it has a solid enough Atlus fanbase to not get completely killed. But we’re talking about Sonic and Robotnik here. This is an iconic rivalry that has a lot of nostalgia for a lot of people, and even Robotnik by himself would beat anything from Catherine. This won’t be as ugly as Mario’s match, but Sonic/Robotnik should put up some good numbers. Moltar’s Bracket: Sonic/Robotnik Moltar’s Prediction: Sonic/Robotnik - 78% Lopen’s Analysis For some reason, I'm having the feeling for this match that I did for Sonic vs Lightning back in... whenever that happened. There's no real reason for it. Only similarity I can see is it's Sonic vs women. Which could very well be his foil, I suppose. Or I guess the similarity is it's Sonic vs Something Weak that has a following and I don't have confidence in him to beat the crap out of it. Robotnik also drags Sonic down cause no one cares about that rivalry-- should've been Sonic vs Knuckles (or better, Sonic vs Mario!). That's right... ANTI-RIVALRY factor. So yeah, Sonic wins, but don't expect 80%! And do call for the upset next round after this disappointment... it's good for ratings. Lopen's prediction: Sonic vs Robotnik with 71.69% Leon’s Analysis It’s a shame that Katherine/Catherine got such a bad draw here because it could’ve been interesting in another spot in the bracket. It did surprisingly well in the vote-in, and this will be the debut of Double TJF. Could it prove to be twice as powerful as regular TJF? Even if it does, it may not be enough for Katherine/Catherine to win. Sonic/Robotnik is one of those rivalries that could benefit from the format because it is considered “classic” due to how longstanding it is. Robotnik is the most often defeated villain in video game history. I know Sonic isn’t as popular as he used to be, but he’s popular enough to handle this. Plus, Sonic Generations launched the day before the contest began. It may not do much, but it can’t hurt Sonic, at least. Leonhart’s Prediction: Sonic the Hedgehog/Robotnik with 70.10% Kleenex’s Analysis I'm still baffled at the fact that Katherine/Catherine managed to get through the vote-in polls and into the main contest. Granted, the vote-ins were relatively weak overall, so it doesn't say a lot about their strength. But still...Katherine/Catherine? Really? Oh well, they lose regardless. I actually think that Sonic's on a bit of a rebound since his losing to Auron and Kirby days. There doesn't seem to be as much vitriol spewed in his direction as there used to be, and apparently he's making good (?) games again. I dunno. This is the worst kind of match. There's no doubt about the winner and there no real chance of a record-breaking blowout. Good thing it's only 12 hours. Kleenex's Prediction: Sonic/Eggman/Robotnik/whateverhe'scallednow with 75.69% |
Applekidjosh’s Analysis This match just makes me sad, and I'm going to have to avoid the board all day. First of all I hate Sonic, and even seeing him here just makes me bitter about him not being up against his real rival here (Knuckles, but yeah Mario too either would be better). The real problem though is I bought Catherine when it came out (and I have the boxer shorts and pillowcase to prove it) but I've been too busy to play it yet! This Christmas, tune in for an AKJ playthrough that will purge in the first 20 posts! Unfortunately this site isn't hip enough for Catherine to have a shot. Fatlus gets creamed by furry-bait. AKJ predix Sonic vs Eggman with 74.32% Dante’s Analysis I heard there was a match scheduled for the PM today, but I can’t find it. All I see is some girl trying to enter twice with the same name, then a blue blur chasing some mech.

(2) Sonic/Dr. Robotnik vs. (7) Katherine/Catherine Another match where the winner is a lock but the percentage could vary hugely without saying too much. Katherine/Catherine did well in the vote ins, but were still doubled by the Bosses in a format which should help Atlus characters. Putting them a little above Jim's team, and allowing for Sonic/Robotnik to be a good step below Mario/Bowser, I'd expect something in the mid to low 70s. It wouldn't surprise me if people think Sonic is doing a lot worse than he really is here - I expect Mario/Bowser's blowout power is substantially better than Sonic/Robotnik's.
