Board 8 > Rate the Final Fantasy Character Day 44: Laguna Loire

(+) Yeah! (+)

- Vote from 0-10, use 5 as an average, decimals are okay.
- Don't be lame and use alts or anything like that.
- Only vote if you've played enough of the respective game to have a good feel for the character. This if of course subjective for the character so you'll have to use your own judgment. But if you played fifteen minutes of the game once, you probably don't know the character well enough.
- Nominations are closed until further notice.

This is what SuperNiceDog did to me in the Guru: http://i43.tinypic.com/dgwh0.gif
http://www.majhost.com/gallery/atukam/OHWD/snownd.gif

6.5/10. Has a decent dynamic with his mates and is pretty funny in his own right.

"Pardon me for breathing, which I never do any way so I don't know why I bother to say it, oh God, I'm so depressed."

GREATEST ATTACK EVER!!!!

Ahem. 9.6/10. Has absolutely hilarious moments in FF8, his limit break is nothing short of AWESOME, and hes just fun as hell to use in Dissidia. Perfect example of a guy whos so much of a doofus that hes badass for it.

For the record, cyan is a known blatant anti-voting alt.

You can ignore his ratings.

2/10.
Didnt like him at all.

LeonhartFour i do not like him at all so don't call me a anti-voting alt just because my opinion differs from yours

When you stop voting everything in the world with a "No" or a "0/10," then maybe we can talk.

Until then.

"But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside."
"I am SuperNiceDog...the rain transformed."

i,ve given high scores for several of these character but there are some characters i absolutely hate

like 99% of everything that's ever existed

--
"So cold. I am always by your side."
"There ain't no gettin' off of this SuperNiceDog we on!"

cyan1001's votes are dubious in nature as far as how honest they are (given he literally votes on every day of Do You Like This Character) but he sorta had a thing where a video was posted confirming he was a person or something.

I mean that only really proves that the guy who is suspected to be his main has a brother that is willing to claim to have a GameFAQs account to cover for him but whatever. There's reasonable doubt that he's an alt at least.

Anyway

7.8 for Laguna

--
I tried to have a fierce rivalry with SuperNiceDog, but he made me look worse than a GameFAQs Contest!

Well, even if he's not an alt, most of his ratings are disingenuous and blatant anti-votes with the strict purpose of lowering the score.

So either way, they shouldn't count.

everyone else got either middle votes or low votes

i,ve voted alot of 2,3 ,4,5,6

Yeah I wouldn't count them if I was running it just because of the sheer amounts of 0s he threw out and his history in DYLTC. But he certainly doesn't vote everything 0. I think his scale goes 0, 7, 8, 9, 10 or something.

Maybe I will be running it at some point given how often ownership of this topic changes.

--
I tried to have a fierce rivalry with SuperNiceDog, but he made me look worse than a GameFAQs Contest!

That being said if we analyzed everyone's voting patterns I'm sure most people wouldn't use the scale very effectively.

Only instead of too many 0s it'd be too many 9s and 10s.

The Do You Like This Character voting history is really the only reason I'd consider dqing.

--
I tried to have a fierce rivalry with SuperNiceDog, but he made me look worse than a GameFAQs Contest!

Well, a bunch of 0 votes is more suspicious than a bunch of 10 votes anyway, mostly because it's more uncommon to see, and more detrimental to the score.

also he doesn't seem to know what an apostrophe is which is even shadier

--
All SuperNiceDog does is win!
http://www.miscupload.com/upload/452457071929141623517416.gif

It's only more detrimental to the score because most B8ers are idiots and rate an average character as a 7.

Did I say idiots? I meant idiots.

Er... sorry... how about "people who don't get how an out of 10 rating system works"... there, now we're PC.

SuperNiceDog owned me in the Guru. Or do I have to stop using the word "owned" in order to not offend black people due to slavery?

Well, a 0 has more effect than a 10 mathematically speaking, no matter how you look at it!

--
SuperNiceDog followed this simple flowchart to win the Guru!
http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/8718/leonflowchart.png

Actually a 0 only has more mathematical effect on the score if the character's score to that point is above a 5. If it's below a 5 the 10 will alter the score more.

Which happens pretty much every time because I can only assume people's perceptions on ratings are skewed by the American grading system.

--
I tried to have a fierce rivalry with SuperNiceDog, but he made me look worse than a GameFAQs Contest!

Hey, we already have 9 characters out of 43 who averaged below a 5! That's 1 in 5!

--
I want to be SuperNiceDog for Halloween! http://img.imgcake.com/leonpngpe.png
http://img.imgcake.com/squalloweenpngem.png

Granted I realize it's not entirely fair to expect 5 to be the average score because most of these characters do have a following and are regarded as good to some degree but... when a reviled character like Eiko only nets a 4.5 you know something's up!

--
I tried to have a fierce rivalry with SuperNiceDog, but he made me look worse than a GameFAQs Contest!

I'm a fairly generous grader, and even I gave Eiko the terrible score she rightfully deserved.

--
SuperNiceDog's Guru victory dance:
http://www.gifsoup.com/view/593815/frasier-and-niles-dance-o.gif

Ironically I gave her like a 3 or a 3.5 IIRC since I don't really hate her. She was a slight annoyance as I recall, not much more than that.

But yeah point is I'm probably one of the people that hate her the least and still had one of the lower grades.

Cause people are bad at rating. Bad character 5/10.

Okay I think I'm done going off on this tangent.

--
I tried to have a fierce rivalry with SuperNiceDog, but he made me look worse than a GameFAQs Contest!

You are the cancer that infests our rating topics, Kakashi, you! Half the scale for varying degrees of failure... the only reason the school system is like that is because the idea is to encourage people to get a high percentage of the knowledge in the classes!

Gosh. By golly.

--
I tried to have a fierce rivalry with SuperNiceDog, but he made me look worse than a GameFAQs Contest!

5/10 is like "Boring character" to me.

Funny enough, that's the score I gave to Reina yesterday!

Anything below that is where we start getting into "Bad character" range.

SuperNiceDog is above the LAW:
http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2011/8/22/2094c2de-bae8-4f5b-9f27-67eaff0aaeaf.jpg

while I agree with Lopen about people not being good at rating

I can't blame them since school pretty much teaches that anything 6 or below is considered 'bad'

--
http://img.imgcake.com/superangelo128/Higurashipicjpgaz.jpg
Good job SuperNiceDog

I usually just do what they did in school and use the whole percentage bullthing thing since its pounded on my head:
10-9 A
8 B
7 C
6 D
5-1 F
0 Special Ed

obviously some liberties were taken and usually end up something like this:

10 GODLIKE
9 Excellente
8 Good
7 Ok
6 Meh positive note at least
5 Mediocre
4 Bad
3 Really Bad
2 Not even kidding around it's ****ing Horse****
1 God hates me
0 Die

--
Oh SuperNiceDog's doing it again dude.
SuperNiceDog, you ain't no pimp dude

you didnt let me finish.

Besides, there has to be varying degrees of fail. It's just the circle of life.

--
Oh SuperNiceDog's doing it again dude.
SuperNiceDog, you ain't no pimp dude

Well 6 or below is bad for school because they want you to know everything, ideally. I think that's fair. If 50% knowledge of your curriculum was a passing grade that'd be kinda silly.

But school isn't "rating" something either. No point in condensing the scale like that for a rating.

--
I tried to have a fierce rivalry with SuperNiceDog, but he made me look worse than a GameFAQs Contest!

Well that's a bit more acceptable, Kakashi. I dislike that "good" is 8 and "bad" is 4. It says to me that your symmetry point is at 6.

This is a proper scale take note heathens

10 GODLIKE
9 excellent
8 very good
7 good
6 decent
5 average
4 mediocre
3 bad
2 very bad
1 terrible
0 Rinoa

Glad guys are keeping me informed and continue to do so. I've been around but I do not know the contest board as well as you regulars.

I guess I have a decision to make.

Bump. Will rate Laguna myself later.
