Looks like I gave Blue too much credit, actually...! --- http://gifsoup.com/view/477513/red-vs-blue-road-rage-part-1-o.gif http://gifsoup.com/view/477534/red-vs-blue-road-rage-part-2-o.gif |
Yeah looks like most people here who overshot Drake did so by underselling G&W I should've known better than to think the SFF would be particularly strong considering the limited overlap the two had-- but I also thought G&W was weak (which he is, to be fair) --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Division 7: Round 2 - Match 100 – (1) Samus Aran vs. (22) Catherine vs. (9) Knuckles the Echidna Moltar’s Analysis Samus Round 1 – 68.51% vs. Sandbag and Isaac C Samus does well in R1 Catherine Round 1 – 39.84% vs. Neku and Vaas She barely beat neku watch out samus Knuckles Round 1 – 46.21% vs. Celes and Seifer Knuckles takes advantage of the FF characters Easy match here. Samus > Knuckles > Catherine looks like a lock. If Catherine's rally barely got her past Neku, it won't get her past Knux. Moltar’s Prediction: Samus: 53% - Catherine: 19% - Knuckles: 28% Lopen’s Analysis Fun for all flavors here. If you're into the chicks you go Catherine. If you're into the furries, you go Knuckles. If you're into robot dudes you go Metroid. As such, given this match is being held on GameFAQs, Metroid takes an easy first, Knuckles takes an easy second, and Catherine takes an easy third. Lopen's prediction: Metroid - 51.12% Knuckles - 32.20% Catherine - 16.68% Leonhart’s Analysis Samus Aran: Voted Most Likely to Be Confused for a Man Catherine: Voted Least Likely to Be Confused for a Man Knuckles the Echidna: Voted Best Hardcore Rapper This one’s as straightforward as it gets. Samus is still a Noble Niner. Knuckles is still a decent midcarder (despite his fairly unimpressive round 1 showing), and needing rallying to beat Neku Sakuraba never says good things about your strength. Catherine fans should cherish that round 1 win, because this match ain’t gonna be pretty for her. Leonhart’s Vote: Knuckles the Echidna Leonhart’s Prediction: Samus Aran – 56.00% Knuckles the Echidna – 26.00% Catherine – 18.00% Kleenex’s Analysis Hold on. Hold on. Hmm. I don't see a Pokemon in this match. I'm not sure how anyone else can possibly win, so uh...I guess no one wins? This "Knuckles" probably looks the most like a Pokemon, but maybe Samus is like a Pokemon Trainer or something. That's probably it. The trainers have looked pretty strong so they probably win out over the Pokemon. I don't even know what this Catherine thing is supposed to be but it's certainly too risque to be anything related to Pokemon so surely it gets last place. Kleenex's Prediction Samus with 49.00% Catherine with 23.00% Knuckles with 28.00% Transience’s Analysis Kinda curious to see how Catherine holds up here. Other than that, this is another dull noble nine squashing. transience's prediction: Samus with 54% Knuckles with 32% Catherine with 14% KP's Analysis Yawn. Oh, wait, the return of ZSS!...Yeah, yawn. Samus - 55% Knuckles - 30% Catherine - 15% Guest’s Analysis - LinkMarioSamus Because you guys know I have to take my favorite character's match! Anyway, even in a post-Other M world Samus should be a considerable order of magnitude stronger than both of these guys. Beyond that, the other sexy female character in this match struggled with someone who lost to Laharl once. Last place for sure! There is no such thing as Other M Samus - 57.14% Not Katherine, but Catherine - 14.29% YOU GOT TRICKED, AGAIN? - 28.57% Crew Consensus: Samus charges to round 3 --- Moltar Status: Crew Contest Analysis Crew Archives: http://thecrew.speedrunwiki.com/ |
I
know Samus is likely going to blow this match out, but I want Other M
backlash to make Knuckles squeak out a win somehow. Just because this
contest isn't ridiculous enough. --- Currently playing: Divekick |

Division 7: Round 2 - Match 101 – (2) Ezio vs. (5) Auron vs. (8) L-Block Moltar’s Analysis Ezio Round 1 – 45.51% vs. Tails and Bomberman Decent Auron Round 1 – 45.56% vs. Ocelot and Roxas Decent L-Block Round 1 – 60.70% vs. Palutena and Teemo Good Jokes like L have pretty much run their course. It might end up beating Ezio, but I can't see it beating a legit strong character like Auron. Auron is also stronger than Ezio, so no matter who gets second, he's moving on. Moltar’s Prediction: Ezio: 28% - Auron: 39% - L-Block: 33% Lopen’s Analysis After ? Block rolled over against a weaker Rikku with little fuss, it's hard to pick it to win here. Well, it was already hard, I guess. Anyway Auron should take first easily. But I think after his strong r1 Ezio can also squeak ahead of the stale joke here. I mean Palutena actually almost escaped the doubling vs the Block-- I don't think there's much strength left in his L shaped body, even assuming his fanbase might be more resilient (kinda debatable since I think there aren't many joke votes backing it at this point) Lopen's prediction: Auron - 40.30% Ezio - 31.27% L-Block - 28.43% Leonhart’s Analysis Ezio Auditore da Firenze: Voted Best Womanizer Auron: Voted Best Guardian L-Block: Voted Best Halloween Costume Oh hey, a match where we have a pretty decent idea of where all these guys stand and no real overlap to speak of. Those have been few and far between lately. Barring Smurf’s theory potentially lowering Auron to fodder levels, he should win here. Ezio looked pretty good in round 1, considering he basically mirrored Auron’s percentage against Ocelot/Roxas in his match with Tails/Bomberman. He’s still not on the near elite tier yet though. L-Block is L-Block. It beat up bad fodder in round 1, but with how jokes have done so far, I think it probably gets last here. It only managed 60% on Isaac and 40% on pre-bandwagon Charizard in 2010, and there’s a decent chance it’s even weaker now. Leonhart’s Vote: Auron Leonhart’s Prediction: Auron – 41.00% Ezio Auditore da Firenze – 32.00% L-Block – 27.00% --- Moltar Status: Crew Contest Analysis Crew Archives: http://thecrew.speedrunwiki.com/ |
Kleenex’s Analysis Auron should be strong enough to dispatch L-Block, and L-Block should be strong enough to dispatch a dirty, unclean Western character. The only thing I could see going wrong here is if everyone collectively decides that this contest needs to be burnt to the ground, giving L a chance to pull off an upset. I don't think the general populous is quite that fed up with this thing yet, but give it some time. Kleenex's Prediction Ezio with 23.00% Auron with 44.00% L-Block with 33.00% Transience’s Analysis I'm still struggling with if we should count L-Block as a non-transitive character or if it should be someone (thing) with normal-ish strength. The last match made it seem kinda legit with L bringing in about 60%. Other joke characters have seemed surprisingly legit too (not a lot of ludicrous trends), Draven notwithstanding. Nintendo has been the ones with joke trends this contest more than anything. So the question is, is a legit L enough to beat Ezio? Probably. And if there's any non-transitive nonsense going on then L could beat him hard, and maybe even threaten Auron. This is kind of an exciting match even though everyone is going to predict the same thing. transience's prediction: Auron with 42% L with 35% Ezio with 23% KP's Analysis L-Block can get 2nd here, but...eh. I think his time in the sun is over. Ezio's Round 1 performance was pretty strong consider he's actually projected to lose to Tails in the 2010 stats. People love Ezio, and they (mostly) love AC. There are too many new jokes around for people to care about L-Block (like the Pokemon eh eh?). Auron - 42% Ezio - 30% L-Block - 28% Guest’s Analysis - Ctes Well, for the bracket challenge this match is about as boring as it gets. Auron will easily, but not easily in a fun way, so boring match. And Auron is sure to lose next round, so we can't even have much fun making anything out of his result. Then Ezio vs. L-Block is supposed to be a little bit of fun, but I really doubt it will. Both should be quite weak. L-Block might be even weaker than in 2010. L-Block was simply facing turbo fodder characters in round 1 and considering its opponents, it didn't even look that good, but assuming there's some anti-joke factor I'll look past that. I'm not sure if I'd take L-Block to beat Ezio 1v1, but I'm pretty sure its fanbase is more dedicated. The more entrants we have, the better L-Block does, unless one would think Tetris being on every console makes it overlap with everything. This hasn't seemed to be the case, so we'll go with the first. A simply match without anything interesting. Ezio – 24% Auron – 49% L-Block – 27% Crew Consensus: Auron takes this without problem --- Moltar Status: Crew Contest Analysis Crew Archives: http://thecrew.speedrunwiki.com/ |

Leonhart’s Analysis Ezio Auditore da Firenze: Voted Best Womanizer Auron: Voted Best Guardian L-Block: Voted Best Halloween Costume Oh hey, a match where we have a pretty decent idea of where all these guys stand and no real overlap to speak of. Can you explain why you think there's no overlap? Do people really not believe every single match in this contest has overlap? Because practically every single match does. This is a website for people who love playing games. There will be more overlap in matches than other. How does a huge game like FFX, a game which most people have played from 10 years ago have no overlap with a character from what's considered the best game from a hugely popular franchise which also happens to be popular on this website? --- Tornadoman78: tornadoman and tornadogirl like to kick box each other in my tornaolayzers and she dosent even mind getting hit |
I believe every single match in the contest has overlap. The issue is whether that overlap is disproportionate and people want to make up LFF to excuse every performance they can't explain. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |

Division 7: Round 2 - Match 102 – (3) Dragonborn vs. (15) Yuna vs. (7) Tifa Lockheart Moltar’s Analysis Dragonborn Round 1 – 42.33% vs. Tom and Pyramid Head Dragonbomba Yuna Round 1 – 40.49% vs. Chief and Claire Yuna did well in beating Chief Tifa Round 1 – 61.86% vs. Chun-Li and Cirno Rare footage of FF7 not sucking After every other FF7 character disappointed, Tifa's overperformance makes less and less sense. I guess it was probably the picture? She probably looks good here too if she can beat down Yuna (which Zack Fair did handily). DB might have been able to capitalize if he wasn't so weak. His R1 performance showed that he'll probably pull a Ryu H here and still get 3rd place because the other two characters are just that much stronger than him. Moltar’s Prediction: Dragonborn: 25% - Yuna: 30% - Tifa: 45% Lopen’s Analysis Dragonbomb sorta took the intrigue out of this match. I actually think Yuna has an outside shot of flipping the SFF split but yeah probably not. Tifa looked pretty strong in R1. Hopefully Yuna actually was on roids to preserve Chief's dignity, but I'm not calling it. Lopen's Prediction: Tifa - 44.07% Yuna - 37.37% Dragonborn - 18.56% Leonhart’s Analysis Dragonborn: Voted Most Malleable Yuna: Voted Best Pokemon Trainer Tifa Lockhart: Voted Best Secret Keeper While FFVII has lost a step or two this contest, I’m pretty sure there’s not a Pokemon in this match, so Tifa should be okay (although Yuna’s Aeons could serve as proxies for Pokemon so watch out…!). Dragonborn didn’t do enough in round 1 to stand a chance here. I’m still not entirely sure he can even beat Yuna here. Might as well pick my favorites from here on because it’s not like it matters anyway! Leonhart’s Vote: Yuna Leonhart’s Prediction: Tifa Lockhart – 47.00% Yuna – 28.00% Dragonborn – 25.00% --- Moltar Status: Crew Contest Analysis Crew Archives: http://thecrew.speedrunwiki.com/ |
Kleenex’s Analysis It's really too bad that Dragonborn crapped the bed last round, because this could have been a great, debatable match. Unfortunately, that's not the case. Final Fantasy VII has certainly been looking vulnerable this year, but Tifa doesn't have any hardcode picture sabotage going against her, so there's almost no way she drops enough to lose to Yuna. I'm not convinced Dragonborn can take advantage of split to take second here either. Oh well. Kleenex's Prediction Dragonborn with 28.00% Yuna with 31.00% Tifa with 41.00% Transience’s Analysis Tifa somehow got out-jugged in a match. Thanks, faces! Watch her choke this one away now that she has to actually rely on her personality. Anyway, I feel like this match has a very obvious prediction while I simultaneously have no idea what is going to happen. This is two newschool FF characters that I've never felt super good about. It's not like people really like Tifa or Yuna, they're just the female leads in the two most popular FF games on the site. Put that up against a guy like Dragonborn and his FUS RO DAH! and who the hell knows what will happen. I'm not going to pick Dragonborn for anything but third after that first round bomb, but at the same time I don't feel good about having Tifa and Yuna march to victory. This would be a great match for antivoting, and Dragonborn is the clear beneficiary of that. transience's prediction: Tifa with 46% Yuna with 30% Dragonborn with 24% KP's Analysis Dragonborn is probably the weakest guy here, but Tifa has a habit of making any other female character she meets look awful, and she and Yuna are from the same series and all that. Dragonborn should be good for 2nd...he might catch fire and gets 1st, but whatever. Tifa looked pretty good in Round 1. Tifa - 44% Dragonborn - 33% Yuna - 23% Crew Consensus: Tifa may be the new strongest FF7 character --- Moltar Status: Crew Contest Analysis Crew Archives: http://thecrew.speedrunwiki.com/ |
Emergency guest time again LinkMarioSamus, it's your time to shine --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (is also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif |
Let's go Yuna --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Emergency guest write up Tifa gets an obvious first here after seeing her R1 performance and I want to give Dragonborn second, because of how bad SFF has been, plus we saw Tidus lose to MissingNo (granted it was because of the rally) and now Auron is losing to L-Block so I'm not expecting Yuna to do very well, I might be wrong but at least I won't lose any points. Tifa 45% Dragonborn 33% Yuna 22% --- Neku in Survivor Smash Bros. |

Division 8: Round 2 - Match 103 – (1) Mario vs. (6) Vivi vs. (9) Ganondorf Moltar’s Analysis Mario Round 1 – 69.47% vs. Duke and Fawful Strong showing from Mario Vivi Round 1 – 62.18% vs. Adam and Marisa Vivi did well too Ganondorf Round 1 – 65.18% vs. Guybrush and Max So did Ganon! This match sucks. Moltar’s Prediction: Mario: 54% - Vivi: 26% - Ganondorf: 20% Lopen’s Analysis What a waste of Ganondorf What a waste of Vivi What a waste of space Lopen's Prediction: Mario - 50.14% Vivi - 34.30% Ganondorf - 15.56% Leonhart’s Analysis Mario: Voted Most Popular Vivi Ornitier: Voted Best Magic Show Ganondorf: Voted the Other White Meat Mario wins and Ganondorf suffers for being in the match with him. It’s just a matter of whether he’ll get hit hard enough to lose to Vivi. Nintendo has no problem fodderizing one of their own, but will they do it when Mario doesn’t really need the help? Maybe not, but Ganon’s such a leech that it might not even matter. The fact that Ganondorf is popular at all is proof that Zelda fans are the biggest drones of all…! Pokemon got nothin’ on this…! Leonhart’s Vote: Vivi Ornitier Leonhart’s Prediction: Mario – 55.00% Vivi Ornitier – 25.00% Ganondorf – 20.00% Kleenex’s Analysis Snooze-o-rama. Mario in first, the 'dorf gets smashed into last, Vivi brings up the middle. Or something like that. Not quite a 44/33/22 special because Mario's a bit stronger than that, but it'll be close. Kleenex's Prediction Mario with 49.00% Vivi with 31.00% Ganondorf with 20.00% Transience’s Analysis Mario and Ganondorf! Does Mario SFF the christ out of the biggest Nintendo leech around, or does he retain some power because ZELDA. Vivi should benefit here bigtime, and I'm sure everyone pick him for second. But I'm worried that Ganondorf won't lie down like he did for Link since Zelda is obviously a bigger deal here. He didn't lie down for Samus a number of years ago. Anyway, still picking Vivi without hesitation. This site doesn't seem as colorblind as it did a few years ago. transience's prediction: Mario with 42% Vivi with 33% Ganondorf with 25% KP's Analysis Mario is going to eat this poll alive, probably. Vivi isn't *that* strong and he should SFF Ganondorf pretty good. I don't see Ganondorf having the fortitude to hold up to Nintendo's main man - he doesn't have 'being the name of the series' to fall back on like Zelda does. Mario - 50% Vivi - 27% Ganondorf -23% Crew Consensus: Mario wins easy --- Moltar Status: Crew Contest Analysis Crew Archives: http://thecrew.speedrunwiki.com/ |

Safer_777 posted... What is going on?The highest percentage for Mario is 55%?I expect him to score at least 60%!He is the 2nd strongest character traditionally you know. If Mario gets 60% on Vivi/Ganon, then unless he goes Link/Ganon on the pig, it means Mario is not only the strongest non-Link character, but the strongest non-Link character by a massive margin, and would have a good shot at being indirectly stronger than Link. ...Even I'm not crazy enough to predict that. --- ~War~ |
So I guess less than 55% will be the normal then?We shall 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~ |

There
is a 4chan rally for Vivi on /v/ right now. The rally topic was posted
before the match started, so that explains why Vivi was threatening
Mario with the board vote. I'm surprised the rally actually worked,
because we all thought Mario is one of the few characters that you can't
rally against because it's freaking Mario. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
