Board 8 > Most Excellent Fictional Character Contest (MEFCC) (Results/Discussion)

(+) Yeah! (+)

Predictable yet awful results in the Grey Wind pool. Live-Action TV has been doing horribly. Same goes for the Lamborghini Reventon pool; stacked pool, but still, how the hell does Board 8 let Dick Gumshoe leave in Round 1?

I can also say right now that I'm going to be unhappy with the results of the Vulpecula Pool simply because there aren't even close to five characters in that pool that deserve to move on imo.

-5 Troy Barnes (Community)

-7 Gumby (Gumby)
-9 Doomsday (DC Comics)
-19 Ricky Bobby (Talledega Nights)
-26 Senator Lemonsnout (Homestuck)


Biggest Surprises:
The WWE has an opportunity to seal two characters into the next round. Meanwhile, the Community has a chance at some tidbit of glory as well. The Green Lanturn did awesomely for a comic character. Bender and Eric Cartman under perform. I have a foreboding feeling for Futurama/South Park/Simpsons characters down the road in this competition.

Biggest Letdowns:
Buffy misses the cut by inches. Damn, I was hoping she would make it. Frankenstein and Fox Mulder come up just short too while Vincent Chase gets destroyed.

--
The tower of power, too sweet to be sour, oh yeah!

AWW YEAH!!! Crazy Dave LIVES!!!

Also, choosing between Drama and Ron Swanson today might be one of the hardest things I've ever done.

--
CRAZY DAVE (PLANTS VS. ZOMBIES)
Your Character Battle IX champion.

HHH defeats Troy Barnes by a score of 10-5! Hunter Hearst Helmsley will move on to the next round while Troy leaves the baton to Pierce Hawthorne for being the sole Community character that hasn't competed yet.

--
The tower of power, too sweet to be sour, oh yeah!

Pierce will probably fail, too. Troy and Abed failing just proves that the participants hate or have never seen Community. Was Chang in this contest?

--
"Coinflip is sacred."

No Chang didn't get a nom, nor did I include him. Sorry!

-24 Fedorafreak (Homestuck)


Biggest Surprises:
Bigwig has a huge win. Tony the Tiger wins a pool. Farfetch’d barely hangs on with a few last minute votes.

Biggest Letdowns:
Hulk Hogan can’t follow Undertaker and HHH’s success. Stewie is outclassed, which was expected, but I didn’t expect Spongebob and Doug Funny to lose.

--
The tower of power, too sweet to be sour, oh yeah!

Awesome. Characters I nominated advance for once.

Bender only got fourth place? There's hope for this board yet.



Doric Pool:
18 Shredder (TMNT)
16 Leon Kennedy (Resident Evil 2/4)
10 Jules Winnfield (Pulp Fiction)
10 The Flash (DC Comics)
4 Bigwig (Watership Down)
-2 Chocobo (Final Fantasy)
-4 Jason Bourne (Bourne Identity)
-5 Doug Funny (Doug)
-10 Dwight Schrute (The Office)
-37 Diamonds Droog (Homestuck)

Okay, this is about as WTF as you can get. I'm happy to see that enough people know what Watership Down is to get Bigwig a win, but how did Shredder advance, much less get first place?

Corinthian Pool:
22 Dr. Jekyll / Mr. Hyde (Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde)
18 Tony Montana (Scarface)
12 Jack Torrence (The Shining)
12 Ganondorf (Zelda)
4 Farfetch'd (Pokemon)
-3 Spike (My Little Pony)
-8 Hulk Hogan (Pro Wrestling)
-14 Stewie Griffin (Family Guy)
-19 Jake Sully (Avatar)
-24 Fedorafreak (Homestuck)

Another huge surprise here. Would've thought Stewie was stronger than that.

You really need to clarify characters with identical names/sources. It was a different Arthur than the one I thought. I wasted my +4 and you never showed up before the end of the round to clarify so I could change my vote.

I did clarify I thought. I believe I said he was the cartoon version, with the little sister named G.W.

--
The tower of power, too sweet to be sour, oh yeah!

There have been cartoon adaptations of the other one, and I'm not familiar enough with those or your other Arthur to know who had a little sister named G.W.

A simple link to clarify could have fixed that.

http://img.imgcake.com/combro1gifqu.gif

Yeah, I had a feeling it was, that's why I went minus on it. I did hesitate a lot more than I would have a few months ago, though, because the movie was just remade (the lack of a last name was what convinced me that it was the cartoon, since the movie character has one.)

I need to see the remake. I doubt it will be anywhere near as good as the original, but it still sounds like an okay movie.

Ah. Didn't know the other Arthur was a cartoon too. There will be a link in Arthur's next match. Rest assured. Sorry for the confusion.

--

Still doesn't fix him advancing to the next round when otherwise he would not have.

[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]

I think Family Guy in general is sputtering in popularity lately. However, Futurama, South Park, and Simpsons are just absorbing all kinds of negative votes. Although I like those shows, I don't mind. They usually do great and maybe we'll see some new blood go the distance in this thing.

I forgot to mention how surprised I was that Dwight Schrute lost tho...

That...sounds unlikely. Unless we're still not talking about the same thing.

-1 Ryu (Street Fighter)
-2 Optimus Prime (Transformers)
-18 Kenny Powers (Eastbound and Down)
-31 Lois Lane (DC Comics)
-34 Phineas Flynn (Phineas and Ferb)

Biggest Surprises:
Phoenix pulled a Miles and climbed out of a serious early hole to get a respectable score. Kain Highwind was switching spots with Ryu and Optimus Prime all round but finally ended up on top. And Desmond barely beats out Mat Cauthon, who was in the positives all day till the end. Biggest surprise is Jed Bartlet though. By far.

Biggest Letdowns:
Didn’t expect everyone to hate ET. Timon takes and early leave due to a tough pool no doubt. And of course, losing Ryu and Optimus is a big downer.

Holy crap, Desmond made it! When I saw the number of -4's he got right at the beginning I thought for sure he was doomed.

Bartlett made it!?! Awesome!

That might actually make up for Mat barely missing the cut.

Biggest Surprises:
Mal Reynolds represents big time! He blasts other Firefly characters’ scores out of the water. I also didn’t expect Norman Osborne to do as good as he did. The Green Goblin strikes!

Biggest Letdowns:
Nobody likes Napoleon. While V chooses the wrong day to remember.

--
The tower of power, too sweet to be sour, oh yeah!

Dexter takes six of the last seven votes in the tiebreaker to beat Lucas, which is Mother's first loss of the tournament! Dexter moves on.

Biggest Surprises:
Kaylee Fry proves Firefly is not a one season wonder. I never expected GIR to do so well. And I’m pleasantly surprised to see Omar Little make the cut.

Biggest Letdowns:
Well there’s a few for sure. Peter Pan got lost in his pool and I never suspected Pocahontas to bow out so early, but the biggest letdown comes from Ari Gold. He was hardly competitive the whole match, always dwindling in the negatives. Too bad.

--

-3 Tinkerbell (Peter Pan)
-21 Fat Albert (Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids)
-28 Izzy (Total Drama)
-28 Pinkie Pie (My Little Pony)


Biggest Surprises:
Yusuke represents for Yu Yu Hakusho and becomes its sole representative in the next round. Han Solo almost sets a record high in positive votes. Aslan barely hangs on. Biggest surprise to me is Wizardmon though. Who is this guy? I need to watch more Digimon.

Biggest Letdowns:
Tinkerbell falls. I thought Lloyd Christmas would do better than he did. It’s a shame losing Keyser as well. Frieza becomes the first Dragonball character to be ousted from the first round (but maybe not the last). Biggest letdown to me though was seeing Monkey D. Luffy getting so much hate.

--
The tower of power, too sweet to be sour, oh yeah!

Yeah, what exactly happened with Lloyd? I thought this board loved Dumb and Dumber!

Really solid results though, aside from Fat Albert getting the boot. Seeing Popeye win a pool is all kinds of awesome.

Biggest Surprises:
Peter freakin’ Venkman! Who’d have thought he’d get so much support? Stone Cold kicks a permanent mud hole in Dr. Reed and advances *cold beers for everyone*. Frasier and Hermione surprise the hell outta me too. Mike Wasowski winning a pool is no small feat either. Lots of surprises this round.

Biggest Letdowns:
Me putting L in the contest twice under different names. I would have liked to see a Sunny character make it to the next round, but oh well. Pluto and Peter set new lows for themselves. Angel puts a nail in Buffy’s coffin.

Biggest Surprises:
Travis Touchdown and Uncle Ruckus did exceedingly well. Rock chimes in with wrestling's highest score yet and I never thought Pac-Man or Barret Wallace would get so much love. That leaves Sephiroth as the only FFVII entrant to be ousted.

Biggest Letdowns:
John Rambo, damn what a loss he is. The others, although brimming with personality, were underdogs at best.
