Character Battle IX Contest Analysis Crew - Part 2
People still think Captain Falcon is going to win this? --- LM |
Alucard finally did something! should be an interesting night. I think Falcon puts him away in the morning. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
I think tranny always expresses doubts over his picks so he'll look less bad if they go sour Well when it doesn't go sour this time I will mock you in... some way... and it will be scathing indeed. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
I've
been expressing doubt over this pick since I saw the bracket. They
looked too close to accurately call it one way or another. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

Looks like I'm getting the point for Captain Falcon despite not picking him to win. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Hey Moltar, drop 4% off of Wander give 2% to the other two. I forgot how bad that dude is. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
So much for my accuracy point. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |

Division 4: Round 1 - Match 30 – (9) Bayonetta vs. (10) N vs. (19) Wander Moltar’s Analysis Bayonetta bring back her Bayonetta 1 design N K Wander Also known as Mr. Last Place Pokefear is going to be tested a lot in this contest, and here is one of its first true tests. Bayonetta was a well-received game, but the title character has never made it past vote-ins. She'll probably be fodder, but at least people know her, which puts her over a lot of the other fodder in this contest. N is a kind of important but not too important dude from the most recent Pokemon generation. Now we know this site still likes and plays Pokemon, but the question is if they care enough about N to make him the winner. The Pokemon themselves are stronger than its humans, and Red (the strongest human) is like...low midcard at best. N isn't coming close to that. So yeah, I'll take Bayonetta here. Even though Pokemon is more popular, only people familiar with the latest gen know N. And that coupled with the fact that he's a human means I can't put much faith in him to be worth much. On the other hand, Bayonetta is recognizable, and while not super popular, she's liked enough to win this threepack. also LOL wander Moltar’s Bracket: Bayonetta > N > Wander Moltar’s Prediction: Bayonetta: 46% - N: 32% - Wander: 22% Lopen’s Analysis I originally had Bayonetta in this match without much issue. 45-35-20 affair or so. Fodder brawl favors the one with the best pic and who has the most household name all other things being equal. Then I saw the match pic. Bayonetta when she arguably has the worst pic and one of her opponents is freakin Wander is a recipe for disaster. I figure Bayonetta's fanbase vs Pokemon Black/White fanbase's proportion that gives a crap about N would be a push on this site and then Bayonetta's name value + pic advantage would give her the edge. Now she's reduced to name value and N has the pic advantage (and looks very "Pokemon" meaning even some people who haven't played B/W may vote him). What's worse is that I think she also loses most of the B/W players who are apathetic towards N to N without her pic advantage. This is not good for her. Nayonetta Bayonetta. I'd love to see her win but yeah I gotta jump ship here. Someone needs to slap who submitted that pic upside the head. Just showing your ass does not a good pic make. Lopen's prediction: N - 43.20% Bayonetta - 35.40% Wander - 21.40% Leonhart’s Analysis I don’t know how to analyze this match. Bayonetta isn’t this site’s kind of game. GameFAQs doesn’t care about Pokemon beyond the first generation, maybe the second, and I figure it’s probably worse for the human characters. Then Wander is Wander, a guy who has proven more than once that he can’t break 10% in multi-way polls and yet he still keeps getting back in the contest. Well, he might be able to manage it here because his competition is pretty bad. I guess I’m going to take Bayonetta here. She has a more appealing design, and I guess people are looking forward to Bayonetta 2. Someone should petition Bacon to put N’s full name on the poll just to make my choice easier because that would seal the deal for her. Leonhart’s Vote: Bayonetta Leonhart’s Prediction: Bayonetta – 45.00% Natural Harmonia Gropius – 35.00% Wander – 20.00% --- Moltar Status: Crew Contest Analysis Crew Archives: http://thecrew.speedrunwiki.com/ |
Kleenex’s Analysis Not content to ruin the contest with just mere Pokemon, we now have to deal with human characters from Gen 5. Bayonetta really should win this. There's no nostalgia factor associated with N whatsoever, so he probably doesn't get that boost that Charizard and Red do. I don't think Bayonetta's going to be particularly strong either, but Link help us if she's not at least good enough to beat a fifth string Pokemon character. Wander is here too bringing up the rear as he is prone to do. Keep on truckin', buddy. Kleenex's Prediction Bayonetta with 51.00% N with 28.00% Wander with 21.00% Transience’s Analysis I had never heard of N before nominations opened. Now, that doesn't really mean anything. If there's anyone that's out of touch with Pokemon, it's me. But I've never really understood the draw of human Pokemon characters outside of nostalgia, and N is brand new. It reminds me of when we took Lucario to beat Altair. Now, Bayonetta's no Altair, but she is at least pretty well known. I look at that picture of N and don't really think Pokemon, and I don't think a lot of voters will either. I usually have some kind of idea of how a match is going to go, even if it's unpredictable. But this one, I have absolutely no idea. Wander could win just due to the fact that SOTC is a pretty popular game, more popular than Bayonetta and maybe moreso than Pokemon Black/White. I'm sure Bayonetta's going to be the Guru pick due to being a more traditional GameFAQs characters and also because of her butt, but I dunno. I'll pick her, but zero faith. Picking percentages is even worse! transience's prediction: Bayonetta with 42%, N with 33%, Wander with 25% KP's Analysis Conversely, this a match being discussed way too much. I'd be surprised if N is anything other than garbage. Human Pokemon character that isn't from Gen 1/2. I could *maybe* see this guy losing to Wander, but it's Wander, so yeah. Bayonetta - 53% N - 30% Wander - 17% Guest’s Analysis - Tsunami I just sort of stepped in because I saw that we were like 15 hours from the start of the match and no one had signed up for this one…and also possibly to pull one over on the regulars, since the “smart” choice is so obviously wrong! http://img.gamefaqs.net/images/cbnine/battle/5172.jpg Look at that. That’s supposed to be a recognizability advantage? Wander looks more recognizable than Bayonetta in that picture. (Wander arguably also looks girlier in that picture than Bayonetta, magnificent hindquarters be damned.) And this is a day match, where PokéFEAR dominates and “cult classics” with low playrates and ratings of T and M don’t. We’ve already seen how bad Wander can be, and it’s really bad. And Bayonetta, um, well it did sell better than Shadow of the Colossus did, even if it wasn’t deemed “art”. But big Nintendo franchise in a day match, stands out in the middle, easily the most recognizable character of the three…every time I analyze this match, the idea that Bayonetta even stands a chance seems more and more ridiculous. This gets an honorary pick of Bayonetta 29.97%, N 56.83%, Wander 13.2%, and an actual pick of… Bayonetta 32.92% N 48.25% Wander 18.83% Probably overshooting a little but it’ll still look so good when the match is over. Crew Consensus: More people taking N > Bayo than Falcon > Alucard! --- Moltar Status: Crew Contest Analysis Crew Archives: http://thecrew.speedrunwiki.com/ |
It seems Falcon Punch misses the crew.But let us watch! --- 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~ |
oh man. this gon' be good. I'd laugh if Alucard won the morning/day vote over a Nintendo character. I offered Lopen an account bet after he said Alucard would come back. glad he didn't take it! --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
whoa, did not expect Alucard to come all the way back when I saw the poll after I woke up --- i'll do rydia -Dante |
You
know what's sad? My initial prediction was for Alucard to be a percent
behind Falcon and Rydia to be getting 40% on the winner. In the end I
had Rydia getting almost doubled by the winner, though I guess after
factoring in Last Place Factor I guess that would have made sense. Not
taking LPF into account, I probably would've taken something like this: Alucard - 38% Falcon - 37% Rydia - 25% Not sure whether or not this would have gotten me any points. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
it's funny how 500 votes is 'all the way back'. I guess when you have a third of the votes coming in, 500 is more like 1500. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
I
went into this thinking C. Falcon would have a bigger lead but I think
Al might be able to maintain this lead, but it is still early in the
day. --- @w@ Gamertag: SliceSabre |
Maybe Alucard will break his own record and lose by 2 votes. Ignore the edit! --- i'll do rydia -Dante |
epic choke job by falcon today --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
I think Falcon wins a 24-hour match. Don't think Alucard would keep gaining throughout the entire day. But man, I thought this was completely done when I went to bed. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
i think Alucard wins a 24 hour match. Falcon just looks like a joke character here. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
This might be the worst match in a while. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Bayonetta should be safe. if N can't get the lead now, he probably never will. unless brackets, but that doesn't usually stop Pokemon --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
yikes let's hope this happens to pikachu --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
I took basically no risks with Pokemon this year, including Charizard losing in the second round. Go my anti Pokemon fear, make them all perish <_<. --- "When your enemies defy you, you must serve them steel and fire. When they go to their knees, however, you must help them back to their feet." |
Wander for second let's do this --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
Natural Harmonia Gropius kinda sounds like it should be a colossus anyway Topple the giant, wander --- I keep coming back here where everything... slipped Ahhahhahaa |
once again LOL Tsunami --- You know who's sexy? Black Turtle, the 2010 Games Contest Guru Winner, that's who! |

Master Moltar posted... I originally had Bayonetta in this match without much issue. 45-35-20 affair or so. Should've stuck with your gut! Also, I'm surprised Alucard came back and won. I went to bed as the morning vote was coming around and he still wasn't in the lead, so I figured it was over. All part of the Plan. --- http://www.miscupload.com/upload/452457071929141623517416.gif |
Whoa, Alucard won. Cool! Also yeah whoops on N. Well whatever I can't complain much Bayonetta's better and she's in my bracket. I also didn't go all the way with expert on this. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Lopen
people play Pokemon games for the monsters,not the humans.But I thought
he would had more than 33% myself to tell the truth. --- 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 realize that N wasn't going to be strong at all I thought he'd just be able to get the "I recognize that guy" votes from Pokemon players with Bayonetta getting a bad pic. Not sure if I underestimated the power of name value, or underestimated Bayonetta's playrate here but overestimating a trainer was not the issue. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
It's okay to admit that you love Pokemon and overestimated something from it because of your raging bias, Lopen. We'll forgive you. Maybe. --- i'll do rydia -Dante |
Oh also "lol NGamer" because no one did it Captain Falcon no chance --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

I feel like Lopen somehow always ends up leading the Accuracy Challenge while stinking up the joint in everything else. How does this keep happening. --- i'll do rydia -Dante |
can't touch this --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
because the accuracy challenge values being far away from your opponents numbers as opposed to being consistently correct --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
It's
a pretty natural result. When weird percentage results happen I
dominate them because my picks are most likely to be out of bounds. But then... well... the problem with having off the wall picks is they backfire pretty often! Although I actually half handicap myself by being the only one who still uses decimal places so I think it balances out to an extent. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Decimal places for multi-way matches are too much work to do 121 times. --- i'll do rydia -Dante |
Latest batch of analyses I went to INTEGER BASED PREDICTION but I don't know if I'll stick with that... it feels so... soulless. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

Division 4: Round 1 - Match 31 – (2) GlaDOS vs. (17) Cole vs. (26) Ragna the Bloodedge Moltar’s Analysis GlaDOS insert your favorite glados quote here Cole not actually famous at all Ragna yessssssss a blazblue rep GlaDOS isn't all that strong, but compared to these two, she's going to look like good here. Both Cole and Ragna have gotten crushed in vote-ins in the past, and neither infamous nor Blazblue have looked like they had any strength on GameFAQs. I'd love for Ragna to take second, but I don't think BB and the anime vote are enough to get him it. Touhou and F/SN going to look stronger than BB ugh this is the worst Moltar’s Bracket: GlaDOS > Cole > Ragna Moltar’s Prediction: GlaDOS: 58% - Cole: 28% - Ragna: 14% Lopen’s Analysis I think I have Cole in my bracket here. You know, star of the game that got quadded by Fallout 3 in the game contest. Gives more credence to the idea that I was drunk when I made my bracket. Well, I'm not drunk now, at least... I think I'm not... maybe I still have a hangover from whatever I was on when I made that N pick? Yeah, Cole probably doesn't win here-- in fact I think RAGNA THE BLOODEDGE might win just because he looks cooler and his name is RAGNA THE BLOODEDGE. But Cole should probably take that. Blazblue's playrate is pitiful on this site (WHY IS RAGNA HERE INSTEAD OF SOL) and Cole doesn't look... totally uncool. Also PLAYSTATION ALL STARS AM I RIG-- *gets shot* Meanwhile GlaDOS gets a poor score considering what she's up against because I don't trust Portal to put up big numbers in general. Not enough coverage. Lopen's prediction: GlaDOS - 46% (Fine... I will conform to your accursed whole numbers) Cole - 30% RAGNA THE BLOOD EDGE - 24% Leonhart’s Analysis This is a pretty straightforward match. GlaDOS should win this one pretty easily despite her not having displayed much strength in the past. Portal has become a stronger franchise since our last Character Battle though, so that should help her out. Her biggest concern has always been a lack of good, recognizable pictures, but even taking that into consideration, I can’t see her losing since her competition isn’t very good. If I hadn’t seen how inFamous had performed in previous polls (which is not good), I might have been tempted to take Cole for the upset here. It was one of the games Sony offered for free with the whole PSN fiasco, and since it was probably the only worthwhile game in the bunch, I imagine a lot of people chose it (like I did). Whether they played it and liked it, I don’t know. I don’t think Cole is a particularly likable guy though, at least in the first game. Second game is supposed to be better, but it wasn’t even in the GOTY poll that year, so we didn’t even get to see how it performed. Either way, unless you’re planning on a huge Playstation All-Stars boost, it’s safe to bet on GlaDOS for the win. Ragna the Bloodedge might do half decently because his name is RAGNA THE BLOODEDGE. If I didn’t know any of the characters here, I’d totally vote for him because of that name. Leonhart’s Vote: Cole MacGrath Leonhart’s Prediction: GlaDOS – 49.50% Cole MacGrath – 33.50% Ragna the Bloodedge – 17.00% --- Moltar Status: Crew Contest Analysis Crew Archives: http://thecrew.speedrunwiki.com/ |
