If you zoom in you can see it's the same tone of blue all over and a huge part on the left is still red
You can also see red where Pikachu is

Really bad. Sometimes things can be TOO simple, and the pallete-swapping is horrendous. Decent font work, Red/Blue is too dark.

external image

I love this one. This is perfect IF it was supposed to be ironic. It's like a post-modern match pic. It's poking fun at the horrible pics with too much s*** in them that has plagued this contest, especially the trainer pictures. If this was supposed to be serious, then obviously it's no good. The trainers had more pokemon than Charizard and Blastoise! Though since this IS their biggest match I suppose using their most popular guys makes some sort of sense here.

external image

Average. Text needed more work, as do the pictures in the middle. WAY too much outer glow for my tastes.

external image

Might be the best match pic in this set if it wasn't for the text. Still probably is actually. The text is too hard to read IMO, but I understand the thought behind it. Besides that it's a simple piece that uses the castle well.

external image

This is somehow worse than the other one even though it has less stuff in it. The background of the trainers is like a joke, how about instead of random pokemon (I know it's the original 151 order) you use the actual teams these guys had?

external image

Great idea, decent execution. Might have worked better with a gradient so that the flow into each other instead of the white line.

Nah, the reflection bit was probably done in Photoshop.

Unless Paint has a tool for that now?

That pic is nowhere near as bad as this one

I'd take that mess over simple art pasted over plain black background, and this pic is that, plus a nonexistent fanart character abomination. Seriously, how the hell did that pic make it through? The only possible way I can think of is if it was everything snob's pic, but I can't imagine him making something that terrible. Then again, he did use Dark Samus in Samus's match....

#1 is probably my second favorite behind #4. The rest just have way too much stuff going on. #6 is aite, but I've never played SMRPG or whatever newer Pokemon game that is, so it does nothing "special" for me.


This is just your anti-Pokemon bias.

Unless you're saying that the other 4 are THAT terrible.

That's the point, though. It IS supposed to be lazy! I'm pretty damn sure it's a riff on how you could name your trainer Red AND Blue depending on the version, which makes it a perfect joke, and I think it's why Bacon went with it.

But anyway, pics mostly suck, except 1, 4 and 6. Wish TRE's pic had been used, that **** was super cash.

If the Red/Blue thing is a "clever" joke how do you explain the weird hand near Bowser? It just looks like the whole image is a poorly put together pic with no fairness in terms of quality.

Except I have zero rooting interest in the match and neither comment is witty.

The problem is that you THINK the picture was pathetic on purpose.

In the end, art is subjective, and match pics are of course art. I choose to believe that the intent of 2 was create an ironic piece based off the lazy nature of other pics of its kind, taken to an almost comical level of absurdity.

Well, no. This wasn't suppose to be ironic at all, it was all serious. However I do accept the work is of poor quality and is lazy.

Mostly pretty good, really like 4. But 1 is just bad. It's actually a pretty good idea, but not only is that nothing like Blue, it also contains what appears to be some kind of hand tool. That's just shockingly lazy, how did that even happen?

From: Haguile | #152
Last time a character got a picture from another character(Golden Sun related, I think) Bacon changed it after getting enough messages about it. Someone should let him know with a few tickets or so.


He did change Isaac's picture last year, but the only picture for Samus/Ridley vs. The Boss/Big Boss contained not-Samus, so maybe not.

From: GenesisSaga | #208
Not quite. It's definitely in the running, but it still has to compete with this:

http://image.com.com/gamefaqs/images/rivals/rivals-17.jpg?tti


Man why do people rag on that pic so much. It was great. Yes, the top image looked blurry and pixellated, but it had a really good image to make up for it. Especially loved the contrast in colours on right and left. If it had used a higher quality shot, it'd be up there as one of the best of the entire contest, maybe the best.

Arthas/Illidan looks great, but the problem is that Link/Ganondorf is so bad it somehow produced a 3D effect for the swords on top of all the other faults. It looks like the swords are both animate and trying to escape the pic there.

"Great"? GREAT!?

The top half is awful. Your eyes literally have to search for the two competitors. Not only that, but you can't immediately distinguish the clashing swords from a fancy separator. And one of the WoW duo (dunno which, never played, never will) is a black blob with glowing green eyes. That is why people rag on this pic so much.

Edit: Illidan. He's the blob.

You can also name Link "Cloud". That's sort of the way characters you can name work. It doesn't suddenly make them an entirely different character.

Awful match pic. Even as a joke, awful match pic because no effort was put into it.
