Shadow Mir Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 So MissingNo vs Tidus was the closest match so far, if I'm correct. Perhaps. Also, Missingno's screwed next round, most likely. As an aside, Tidus and Fox are the epitome of bad bracket placement as far as these go - Tidus's last win was way back in 2005 and Fox just keeps running into Nintendo.

Shadow Mir Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) What a yawner this match is... Next debatable one is Pit/Cecil. Cecil's considered the favorite, but we don't even have a good read on him *OR* Pit (in 2010, Cecil lost to Knuckles, Knuckles got blown the hell out by Sonic, and Sonic was crashed by Link; Pit's been in only two other matches, and both of those were SFF fests).

RJWalker Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I've been wondering for a while. What does SFF mean? Serenes Forest Forums? XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadykid Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 What does that even mean? other Nintendo characters kill him, because just about everything else Nintendo>Star Fox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Mir Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) I've been wondering for a while. What does SFF mean? Serenes Forest Forums? XD What does that even mean? Same Fanbase Factor - the theory that when two characters with overlapping fanbases are put into a match (e.g. Mario and Donkey Kong, Link and Zelda, Sonic and Tails) the weaker one underperforms in the poll. Incidentally, it's why there's no good read on Cecil - you have to account for Knuckles getting SFFed by Sonic, as well as Link SFFing Sonic into the ground to get any reasonable strength for Knuckles.

Shadow Mir Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) damn -6 for expert challenge! Yeah, I'm expecting a lot of people to feel the snakebite this will do on their expert brackets. I mean, all the talk was centered on Cecil or Pit, but instead, the guy who wasn't even considered to have a shot at winning does it? It'll be fun to see how low the prediction percentage is... Edit: Cecil's starting to fight back. Edited August 13, 2013 by Levant Fortner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Mir Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) Well, this is certainly impressive for Wrex, considering that no one expected him to be in contention for first. Edit: Cecil HAD the lead, but Wrex took it back. Edited August 13, 2013 by Levant Fortner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Mir Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) I have to point out that the only character to look good in the Kratos/Recette/Travis debacle was Recette. Also, as expected, Lyn got totally steamrolled and finished dead last. Edited August 17, 2013 by Levant Fortner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tharja was much too close to Tiny Tina for comfort, so I'll believe that when I see it Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Charizard flopped - between Pikachu and Missingno failing to impress, Kratos giving a lackluster performance, as well as Duke Nukem sucking...

Though Tharja HAS to be the weakest character to get out of round one, particularly considering other Western characters bombing - that, in conjunction with a close match with Tiny Tina, can't make her look good. Also, Charizard's next up to bat, and he's got a lot to prove. Edited August 17, 2013 by Levant Fortner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
