@Don:
ohh we do:devil:
but iam kind of irritated, because chrissie will now go against us..:sad:
i can
t believe she
s doing that to ME..
that crazy greece troublemaker.:happy:but a good, fair and thrilling fight is also what i want.
BUT BASCO HAS TO WIN IN THE END SOMEHOW!!!
so that we also have such awesome fights in the next round…or else shiki would be boring against any other chara in the next round!
think of itAhahaha~ ;) You know mommy doesn't want to hurt your feelings darling~ She just wants to play around a bit~ And besides! The Basco camp is filled with drunks while the Shiki camp with people who don't like drinking. Mommy is just trying to find you a non-drunk daddy this time~ It's all for you my lil' boy~

I don't really see Jango losing to Ryuma. :ermm:
Strange events occur these days; you can't ever predict what'll happen with 100% accuracy. Ryuma was ok as a character and he easily beat Chopper in the prelims so I guess anything is possible.
-
I plan to vote Ryuma over Jango :ninja:

We all plan to vote Ryuuma over Jango…i guess.

You can't predict everything but I dare say that Jango destroying Ryuma is a very safe bet.
-

The sad fact here is that many people didn't read "Monsters"
Otherwise Ryuuma might have a big chance to pass. -
The sad fact here is that many people didn't read "Monsters"
Otherwise Ryuuma might have a big chance to pass.Even then he wouldn't have much more of a chance because Jango is ridiculously popular over here. He might not be among the most popular characters but he definitely is so popular that he can only be defeated buy the most popular guys.
-
@Cyan:
Akainu would still win by a landslide.
Lolwut? I'm a big Akainu fan but seriously, that statement is ridiculous. And you'll get the confirmation for that on Saturday morning when Akainu is declared as the loser of his first round match.

Ah right. The Maniac vs. Retard Grandfather match.
Point taken.

Only because of this anti-Strawhat bullshit.
-
Don't underestimate the popularity of Garp. I think Akainu is going to need all the support he can get for that match to win.
-
Only because of this anti-Strawhat bullshit.
People tend to give this anti-Strawhat thing way more credit than it deserves. Sure, we've been hearing the statements "I'm gonna vote against the Strawhats" tossed around like crazy here. But how many different people are we speaking about here? I'll be veeery generous and say that it's at max. 50 people that will vote that way, which looking at the amount of total voters (of which the vast majority doesn't even pay attention to what's going on in the threads itself and just places their votes and leaves again) is not really impressive.
Heck, even if a thread would be full of only campaigns for the opponents of the Strawhats I would say that the Strawhats would still emerge victorous unless of course they are facing the really big names among the non-Strawhats.
But other than against the big names, the expected success of the anti-Strawhat movement has to be taken with a grain of salt.
-
am i the only one who thinks tomorrow is again gonna be a close match?
-
Who's underestimating his popularity? Garp is the favorite in his match.
-
Chopper just seems to be the least popular Strawhat around here these days. Usopp is probably 2nd.
-
I dunno about that statement. There's a lot of Doflamingo fans, and Usopp beat him pretty easily last year.
-
Garp will probably win by 50-100.
-
Sounds about right.
-
Dofla didn't really have much going for him last year (the war hadn't happened yet), other than his handful of loyal fans. He would have been demolished by any of the crew members.
-
I'll try my best to find time for Campaigning tomorrow~ I am all for Ryuma~!! ^^
-
I hope so, Garp is awesome and Akainu is pretty overrated just because he killed Ace (who I never even found that annoying anyway).
And now someone is going to quote this post with the Ace whining picture :ninja:
-
The sad fact here is that many people didn't read "Monsters"
Otherwise Ryuuma might have a big chance to pass.I read it and I love it and it is totally awesome that Oda used a character from one of his One-Shots in One Piece.
But Jango is more awesome. :ninja:
-
am i the only one who thinks tomorrow is again gonna be a close match?
Nope, if Ryuma managed to beat Chopper in the prelims, then he has a chance against Jango who haven't done anything noteworthy for a long time.
-

It's not just about him killing Ace, it's because Akainu pretty much WAS the war:

http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/579/08-09/You see, practically everything the Marines scored in this war on the field of battle power was achieved by just Akainu alone. Heck, he singlehandedly took out more named guys than all the other participants in this war together. Without him, this war would have been lesser dangerous than a Teletubby pillow fight. He's like the friggin' Terminator!

Which doesn't really bother people to give him some cult like status.

I am disappoint.

It's a lot easier to beat a Strawhat in the prelims than it is in an actual 1v1 match. The reason is simply multiple votes. It's a totally different game when people have to choose between the two.

Good luck with that. I doubt that I'll have much time tomorrow to be of any help. :(

I doubt someone of his qualities should have actually have had any difficulties with water. :getlost:

Edit: Btw, I moved the entire Garp vs. Akainu discussion over here to not get further off topic in the other thread.^^

I only said Ryuma has a chance, not that he will win, and I was just pointing Jango's weakness since I want Ryuma's victory.

That's a good point actually. Ah well, I'll still be voting for Garp as he is so awesome :happy:
-
So awesome that he was only one of the top brass to get punched by Luffy.
-
He sure is. But not enough people will know to appreciate that fact.
Well yeah, tough shit, that's how it goes. Doesn't mean that we can't have our fun campaigning for good old Sakazuki right? I'll raise the Magma Fist of Absolute Justice for that one.^^
Well, I totally forgot about this iceberg. My bad. But Ao Kiji still prevented that attack more easily than Aka Inu could have done.:ninja:
Saying "more easily" is a faulty choice of words since it means that both attempted to stop it and both were successful only that Kiji had lesser troubles with it, which is not the case.
-
grap wanted to murder akainu during war. He'll have his chance now :D
-
So awesome that he was only one of the top brass to get punched by Luffy.
That was his grand-son. He couldn't fight him, especially when he was doubting about what was the right thing to do concerning Ace.
Aka Inu acts like a robot, at least Garp has a heart.
-

Yeah, if everybody among the Marines would have acted like that, then we would have had a snore fest instead of a war. I mean wasn't everybody excited about this war because they expected to see…well a WAR? And yet the only thing that actually made this arc a war is criticized for providing exactly that what everybody actually wanted to see? Freaky logic.
-
You guys do know that Akainu was basically doing..well…his job? Garp failed on that front to tell you the truth...
-

Don't think the job description includes destroying soldiers for voicing opinions.

All marines were not exactly in Garp's situation. Ace was like his grandson. You didn't expect him to fight seriously when this war will determine Ace's fate. Aka Inu was a great thing for the war, but as a character, I prefer Garp. From what we have seen, "justice" is the only thing in Aka Inu's life, but Garp represents other value like family or respect for his enemies (his relationship with Roger was great).
Garp is fore the marine what Whitebeard is for the pirate. He deserves to go far in this tornament.
-
@Cyan:

You never know what a job description in OP includes. And soldiers are not really supposed to voice opinions while there's a battle with Pirates aka criminals going on, yes?

Correct Predictions: 2 (03, 04)
Incorrect Predictions: 1 (05)! 06. Whitebeard vs. Aokiji (Whitebeard won't go down easily)
07. Ryuma vs. Jango (Despite giving Zoro his sword, Ryuma isn't a particularly memorable character in One Piece canon)
08. Dreadlock Chain Chomp vs. Dr. Hiluluk (Unnamed Whitebeard Commanders don't have much of a chance)
09. Akainu vs. Garp (Garp is one of the most popular characters)
10. Shackey vs. Marco (Both popular characters, but Marco has a very awesome ability)
11. Calgara vs. Usopp (Poor Calgara gets pitted against a Straw Hat in Round 1)
12. Going Merry vs. Kaku (Could be close, but Merry has sentimental appeal that's tough for Kaku to beat)
13. Crocodile vs. Rob Lucci (Croc is very popular here)
14. Ivankov vs. Doma and Monkey with a Gun (I don't even remember who Doma is)
15. Chopper vs. T-Bone (I suppose there's an "anti-Straw Hat" voting block, but I think they're not as large as they sometimes seem)
16. Iceburg vs. Ace (Ace's death ruined what chances Iceburg might have had)
17. Red-Hair Pirates vs. Gecko Moria (Except for "Pwngoat", nameless people rarely do well)
18. Hancock vs. Kureha ("Recentness bias" plus a large Hancock fanbase plus some clever Hancock campaigners in the prelims)
19. Mihawk vs. Momonga (I predict at least half the Shichibukai will win their Round 1 matches)
20. Nojiko vs. Gun Fall (For reasons I believe we're forbidden to discuss)
21. Pwngoat vs. Marshall D. Teach (Could be close, but when you strip away Pwngoat's silly meme, what's left?)
22. Norland vs. Hiking Bear (Does HB even count as a character?)
23. Cricket vs. Drake (Supernovas tend to do well, and Drake did decently against Nami last year)
24. Vista vs. Magellan (Magellan has more memorable personality and abilities)
25. Thousand Sunny vs. Kid (Sunny is a Straw Hat, after all)
26. Tom vs. Smoker (Both very popular, but I think Smoker has more fanatical supporters)
27. Buggy vs. Foxy (Similar kind of character, but Foxy is generally considered annoying while Buggy seems to have a lot of fans)
28. Gaimon vs. Whitey Bay (The Whitey Bay campaigns have already begun)
29. Clash of the Titans: Stronger vs. Banchi in 3-D (Banchi has some very vocal supporters)
30. Mr. 3 vs. Duval (Mr. 3 is just too popular)
31. Enel vs. Kuina (Haven't seen many devoted fans of Kuina)
32. Bon Kurei vs. Yasopp ((Almost) everybody loves Mr. 2)
33. Franky vs. Luffy (Last year's winner is unlikely to lose so soon)
34. Yokozuna vs. He-Man (He-Man is just a face and a catchy nickname, not an actual character)
35. Sanji vs. Shiryu (Am I underestimating the chance of a Straw Hat losing? Maybe, but prelim vote totals suggest Sanji is pretty popular)
36. Hattori vs. Gin (Gin has a lot of fans, and Hattori is just a pigeon)
37. Basco Shot vs. Shiki
38. Joz vs. Crocus (Recentness bias)
39. Zeff vs. San Juan Wolf (After looking at prelim votes, I've changed my mind on this one)
40. Inazuma vs. Roronoa Zoro (Poor Inazuma)
41. Shanks vs. Capone Bege (Another landslide, probably)
42. Bepo vs. Wiper (Recentness bias)
43. Arlong vs. Hatchan (Hatchan is like Arlong, but less evil, more involved in recent events, and with a wackier personality and powers)
44. Tashigi vs. Jaguar D. Saul
45. Genzo vs. Beckman
46. Brook vs. Margaret (Although Margaret might actually win if she does enough in the manga soon)
47. Dragon vs. Jabura (A faction leader implied to control the weather vs. a CP9 member with yet another zoan power)
48. Carue vs. Dorry and Broggy (Even many people who don't like Vivi like Carue)
49. Hawkins vs. Mr. 1
50. Aphelandra vs. Van Augur
51. Roger vs. Pandaman (Roger is another top-tier guy)
52. Nami vs. Doctor Black Beard (A Straw Hat vs. a character who's mostly just a meme)
53. Urouge vs. Lucky Roo
54. Coby vs. Kung Fu Dugongs
55. Doc Q vs. Jesus Burgess (AMV power!)
56. Olvia vs. Rayleigh (Rayleigh got the third-highest vote percentage in the prelims)
57. Sadi vs. Killer
58. Paulie vs. Trafalgar Law (Law was always popular, and now he has recentness bias is his favor)
59. Kuma vs. Laboon
60. Kizaru vs. Makino
61. Jewelry Bonney vs. Richie (Richie always does better than you'd expect around here)
62. Jinbei vs. Johnny and Yosaku (Pretty one-sided)
63. Hannyabal vs. Calico Yorki (Used prelim match statistics because I don't have any other clues that come to mind)
64. Donquixtoe DoFlamingo vs. Nico Robin (One of the more popular Straw Hats, though it's still a close matchup) -
I see some Ryuma supporters ^_^
I thought I'd be one of only a few. Good to know there will also be some fun campaigns by Chrissie. -
@Don:

Speaking of dancing, vote for Jango. :ninja:
