What's up with that Captain Falcon thread?? Wait! Don't go look to find out...it'll only increase it's view count!

 

[Ademisk]

Does anyone else find it odd that the Zelda thread has a higher post count than Sheik?

 

[dan smith]

Yeah, it's pretty weird...but, I mean, Sheik's kinda boring...and Zelda's got quite a cult following. I was part of that cult for a while actually.

I'm still surprised at how high that post count is though, Koopa too...man...definitely some dedicated underdogs.

 

[Ademisk]

Well, like HALF of that is Gimpyfish.

 

[GildedPunch]

Most high tiers don't get that many views or counts cuz a lot of them is " Im a Falco noob!! help plz!"

Which a lot of people don't care about or will only post like one thing about help.
Other than that, People are like "Oh it's another falco player"

so yeah.

 

[Ademisk]

So basically it comes down to the fact that low tiers need more help, and therefore post more.

 

[thesage]

Well actually Bowser, Zelda, and Ness need more help and post more.

 

[Ademisk]

Right, what I meant

 

[kenny10]

That's because Bowser, Zelda, and Ness are some of the harder characters to learn how to play well so they post more asking for help or helping others. (And yeah, half of Bowser boards are Gimpyfish. Everyone else doesn't matter.)

The other half is KevinM... lolz bowser boards

 

[dan smith]

Man...all this talk about the Bowser board makes me wanna go over there...check it out...

Maybe I'll post some love for the Koopa Klaw. (Air grab! FTW?)

 

[Rapid_Assassin]

Does anyone else find it odd that the Zelda thread has a higher post count than Sheik?

It's because the Zelda forum used to be combined with the Sheik forum until pretty recently. The Sheik forum started with 0 threads, plus whatever was on the first page that was moved there. The Zelda forum kept its old stats.

The other half is KevinM... lolz bowser boards

Or me in the bowser spam thread.. lolz RI smashers

And while we're on the topic of board post statistics, I find it funny that CT player finder has more views than any topic in character specific, and more posts than any of the character specific boards that you listed. Go CT!

 

[dan smith]

connecticut?

 

[thesage]

I forgot about Conneticut on a quiz. That and Kansas. I feel speshuls.

 

[boss8]

not to be gay...............

BUT NESS SUCKS!!!!!!!!






BROUGHT TO YOU BY SWF.:

 

[Ademisk]

......You suck.

 

[kenny10]

We're not talking about if Ness sucks or not. Just the post count compared to other characters.

P.S. I agree with Ademisk 100% plus more.

 

[thesage]

Lolz at boss. Go back to gaydocville, Va. Thanks.

j/k

 

[dan smith]

You forgot Kansas????? WHAT? It's the state that looks like a garham cracker with a bite out of the corner.

Anyways....yeah...Boss8...you suck, and this isn't about who's better....it's simply a popularity contest.

 

[Ademisk]

Technically, it's the exact opposite of a popularity contest.

 

[GildedPunch]

Boss is probably laughing at all of the reactions he was looking for out of you guys.
GO BOSS!!
BUT YOU STILL SUCK FOR SAYING NESS SUCKS!!

 

[Ademisk]

I just used my natural response whenever someone insults me. Use the exact same insult at them.

 

[Levitas]

Hm, that reminds me of some people back in high school. But if we got starmen.net to start playing ssbm, we could have the posts up higher than any character in less than a week. Ness rocks, earthbound rocks, and ness players are Rockin'. the end.

 

[Ademisk]

This is true, if we got all of Starmen.net to start playing as Ness all at once. But I think they're too busy raving over Mother 3 translation screens.

 

[Levitas]

Too true... But of course it'd be fun to see Ness overtake ssbm in it's last few months before brawl.

 

[Matunas]

Bowser and Zelda? Don't stray from Ness.. Add to his popularity by going to the YYG Cracked a couple more times.

 

[NightOfFire]

Too true... But of course it'd be fun to see Ness overtake ssbm in it's last few months before brawl.

Don't talk about Smash like it's going to die...I will keep it alive!

 

[kenny10]

If Brawl doesn't turn out as good as people hoped, then everyone will go back to Melee.

 

[GildedPunch]

Hope it doesn't come to that.
Hope that gliding isn't all screwy and final smashes are legit.

 

[Ademisk]

Final Smashes look like the kind of thing where it'll be "Whoever gets the Final Smash token first wins"

 

[thesage]

Actually, final smashes look like they're gonna be bananeded

 

[Ademisk]

Oh totally. Which might possibly suck for Zero Suit Samus lovers.

 

[GildedPunch]

wonder if there' another way for ZSS.....

 

[thesage]

Nobody will know until the game comes out...

 

[Ademisk]

Or until Sakurai says something.

Boozer forums = SPAM. They have their own spam stickied thread. I mean, come on.

Samus forums is also kinda screwed up.
HugS made a SWF multi, posted some god tips and the multi, posted some vids on YouTube (of himself). he got tons of spam on his tips thread about "Nyah nyah those are bad tips blah blah useless blah-blah blaah" and he got lots of posts on the YouTube vid on like "You're pretty good, but you do *so and so* wrong. So lots of people were saying HugS was a n00b. Only a handful of people knew, because of post style or from Smash playing style...

Is "The Greatest Falcon Thread Ever Made...... Ever, Ever." about G-Reg combos? I forget.
*acknowledges that OFFICIAL SUPER-WAVEDASH DISCUSSION! is full of spam*

EDIT: The 2006-2007 Tier list: 122,894
