So I'm ignorant for not knowing a deity from an ancient polytheistic religion that has no presence outside of of Japan that you all only coincidentally know about because of a video game?

Ignorant is synonymous with unaware, stupid means not knowing any better. People interchange the two all the time when they aren't close.

So yes, you're obviously ignorant and need to read a book once in awhile.

Shadow's first cut of the entire match! Let's give the guy a round of applause!

12:05 - 48 vote lead
12:06 - 47 vote lead



"lol" whoops


That doesn't count. Note how there was one vote submitted between the 12:05 and 12:06 updates on the updater. It's because creative's updater tracked the 12:05 update before the match even reached the freeze.

I find it hilarious that people here have turned atheism into a status symbol that frankly, makes me ashamed to be an atheist. Yet the second I don't know something about religion that comes from "OUR GLORIOUS NIPPON" I'm an ignoramus?

Never change board 8

It's understandable if you haven't heard of Amaterasu, but it's pretty dumb and ignorant to call the name stupid if you don't even know the meaning behind it. And intentionally misspelling words is infant-level "humor" - not that I'd expect anything better from you.

Hey, I called you out on it and I didn't even mention Japan. Hell, I didn't know it was a Japanese god when I typed that, but I knew it was a god of some sort, or, at the very least, that it wasn't original.

Also, how does atheism fit into all this?

Luigi ended up about a percent lower than I had predicted, but I'll take it. Hard to take much away from an SFF performance, but I thought he did pretty good.

And aw yeah Ammy being Amaterawesome. A hearty lol BT for the days of otaku turbofodder and not contending with Matt the Mii.

Also for the record you people gettin on Turtle's case for thinking Amaterasu is a stupid name should get off your high horse. Guarantee 90+% of you wouldn't know better if Okami didn't exist.

I think the fact that Turtle is still going LOL AMATERASU DUMB NAME after she's been in the contests for 3 years is stupid. Yeah, it was a little hard to spell maybe the first two or three times I typed it out. And if it's that bad, just call her Ammy - which they do in the game.

I have no problem with thinking Black Turtle is dumb for making fun of the name because it's not really that stupid or because she's been in the contest for a while because it's old. But just say that. Don't act like you're somehow more worldly than BT cause you know the origin of the name of a video game character, because you played its game.

Why is everything so overblown and over-exaggerated with you on the internet? Are you really this black and white in real life? People must think that's pretty pathetic.

Considering all the casuals I've seen thought that Shadow>Ammy was a foregone conclusion and the few that had Ammy were utterly surprised...yeah. The only thing keeping it from being a record setter is Ammy's 6 Seed.

If Amaterasu got the lower seed this would have been a good bracket shaker.

But since that's not the case, it probably won't be too far removed from 50-50
