64 bracket practically confirmed even though everyone knew that --- Want to listen to more video game music every day? Check out the VGMusicoftheDay Youtube Channel sometime! |
So how many positions were needed to be filled then? Up for debate until whenever THE BRACKET is revealed? --- :> |
So time for the ol "How long after the vote ins last year did it take for the bracket?" --- http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/4839/drfc.png Fire Todd Haley |
-LusterSoldier- posted... Wow, I didn't expect that there would only be 3 days of vote-ins. Bacon probably wanted to get it done with so he can put the bracket out before the weekend. --- http://media.animevice.com/uploads/0/4479/467785-one_piece_we_go_super.jpg http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
Since
today's poll was a re-run of a past poll, I could have attempted to see
what today's poll was (before it started) going to be, but I didn't
bother to do that as I figured there would be another vote-in. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
From: Dr_Football | #154 im honestly curious lol --- Want to listen to more video game music every day? Check out the VGMusicoftheDay Youtube Channel sometime! |
Bacon probably wanted to get it done with so he can put the bracket out before the weekend. Not gonna happen. I'm thinking next Tuesday --- Women come and go, and sometimes they play Metal Gear - XIII is cool |
NGamer, Yoblazer: Any plans on doing another season of ''The Show'' for this contest? |
Apparently, Bacon is online right now. I don't know if it has anything to do with the bracket. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
So time for the ol "How long after the vote ins last year did it take for the bracket?" Character Battle VIII - 1 day, 15 hours, 4 minutes Game of the Decade - 3 days, 15 hours, 38 minutes --- Pokemon VGC2011 NW Regional - Top 8 Pokemon VGC2011 US Nationals - 54th place |
From: foxhead84 | #159 I would say most likely, they'll probably do Ep 1 around the time predix start though I guess there's that small chance they won't since they don't like the contest idea much and the bracket could suck balls but who knows --- Want to listen to more video game music every day?

Character Battle VIII - 1 day, 15 hours, 4 minutes Game of the Decade - 3 days, 15 hours, 38 minutes Well this doesn't help its case for getting a bracket before the weekend, but it should be easier to make a bracket if its only 64 entrants --- http://media.animevice.com/uploads/0/4479/467785-one_piece_we_go_super.jpg http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
foxhead84 posted... NGamer, Yoblazer: Any plans on doing another season of ''The Show'' for this contest? Would like to, but ehhh. We'll reassess our interest levels after this bracket comes up. --- thengamer.com/guru thengamer.com/xstats board8.wikia.com You should search for The Show, the cool podcast featuring Guru Champ Black Turtle! |
Here's a quick spreadsheet of the top 20 options, ranked both by percentage and total votes. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AijjiC5v3qOpdEZpTTJRUHFzYmV3aFI5X2tueG80a3c&hl=en_US#gid=0 --- Black! Turtle! Kooloo-LimPAH! The Guru Champion! |
For
every contest except Character Battle VII where the bracket was
released on a Thrusday, SBAllen has opened Bracket predictions on
Tuesday. (For Best. Game. Ever. 2009 he released the bracket on Friday
for Add/Remove with the final bracket going up on the following
Tuesday.) --- Pokemon VGC2011 NW Regional - Top 8 Pokemon VGC2011 US Nationals - 54th place |

So because they weren't in vote-ins can we assume that Barkley/Jordan made the bracket? --- http://img.imgcake.com/nio/2bigwigpngut.png |
I'm expecting between 12-16 Big Boss vs The Boss Crono vs Lavos Leon Kennedy vs Ada Wong William B.J. Blazkowicz vs Adolf Hitler Raiden vs. Vamp Katherine vs. Catherine Gordon Freeman vs Dr. Breen Banjo vs. Gruntilda Yuna vs. Seymour Guado Arthas vs. Illidan Lloyd Irving vs. Kratos Aurion Jim Raynor vs Sarah Kerrigan --- Captain Falcon vs Black Shadow Raziel vs Kain Laharl vs. Mid-Boss The Kid vs The Guy Pretty good group I guess --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls Congratulations to Black Turtle for winning the guru contest. |
I'd
wager that Barkley/Jordan, Mario/Sonic, MMX/Zero, and MM/Proto all
easily scored enough noms to make the bracket. But whether they were
outlawed/beaten by Bowser/beaten by Sigma/beaten by Wily is another
matter entirely... --- thengamer.com/guru thengamer.com/xstats board8.wikia.com You should search for The Show, the cool podcast featuring Guru Champ Black Turtle! |
Crossing my fingers for Mew/Mewtwo and Charizard/Blastoise now. --- If you are reading this signature, then you are wasting a great deal of your time. |

Blazkowicz vs Adolf Hitler Raiden vs. Vamp Katherine vs. Catherine Gordon Freeman vs Dr. Breen Banjo vs. Gruntilda Yuna vs. Seymour Guado Arthas vs. Illidan Lloyd Irving vs. Kratos Aurion Jim Raynor vs Sarah Kerrigan --- Captain Falcon vs Black Shadow Raziel vs Kain Laharl vs. Mid-Boss The Kid vs The Guy Pretty good group I guess And if Bacon uses vote totals, as he did in GotD, we'd get: Big Boss vs The Boss Crono vs Lavos Raiden vs. Vamp William B.J. Blazkowicz vs Adolf Hitler Banjo vs. Gruntilda Katherine vs. Catherine Yuna vs. Seymour Guado Arthas vs. Illidan Gordon Freeman vs Dr. Breen Lloyd Irving vs. Kratos Aurion Laharl vs. Mid-Boss ---------- Captain Falcon vs Black Shadow The Kid vs The Guy Jim Raynor vs Sarah Kerrigan Earthworm Jim vs. Queen Slug-for-a-Butt Both lists are obviously pretty similar, but Raziel/Kain would lose their spot if we do Top 16 (replaced by EWJ/QSFAB), and Jim Raynor/Kerrigan drops out of the Top 12 (repaced by Laharl/Mid-Boss) --- http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/0/0e/Ffx-bahamut.jpg Support Bahamut if we ever get another real contest. |
Does 64 entrants mean eight divisions of eight? --- "Getting lucky 100% of the time... it's called PRO SKILL." -BlAcK TuRtLe |
I
don't know if we will have 4 divisions or 8 divisions. 4 divisions
would mean 8 matches for each division and the seeding would be a 1-16
system. 8 divisions means only 4 matches for each division and the 1-8
seeding system is used. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
So Captain/CATS made it? --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. Black Turtle > Me |
I
doubt it. I checked the nomination tally topic and Captain/CATS only
had 14 nominations. Which isn't enough to make it into a vote-in (or
even the bracket). --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
So Serge got more noms than Crono. Excellent. |
This page might be the only way to monitor if the bracket is up before the bracket is officially announced: http://www.gamefaqs.com/contribute/submit_contest_image.php It still says "Game of the Decade" on that page, so we need to watch if that name changes. Also, the dropdown list of matches should change when the bracket is completed. I don't know if that is actually going to happen, or if match picture submissions will start being accepted later on after the bracket is announced.

It would be funny if SB still hasnt found a "good" name for the contest and is going to stall the bracket till then --- Want to listen to more video game music every day? Check out the VGMusicoftheDay Youtube Channel sometime! |
NGamer
if yo isn't willing to cohost with you I'll volunteer to fit in for
him. I can make things fun and I'm usually freeon Wednesday nights. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page, Rest in peace Mitch Stuekerjuergen :( |
I would like to hear that. I think Ulti and NG could have some good back-and-forths. --- My Japanese alter-ego. Hey all this is Bartz btw. |
Ha. Crono is so screwed. --- peace comes from within |
GameFAQs Feedback I would like to respond to the latest GameFAQs Asks question. Message From HaRRicH on 10/04/2011 Rivalry Rumble I'm both happy and sad this was the best title! --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg Nominate E P O N A. |
Phoenix Wright will require his Ultimate trailer to come out in time for the match to win. NYCC is next week, though, so there's plenty of time for that. --- I like how each new topic you make reveals such varied facets of your idiocy. - foolmo [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Woo, get to take Samus/Ridley to the semi-finals. Don't think the Pokemon Trainers will have enough to take them out. --- "Eet's game time..." |
Man
I really really really really really want Chell vs. GLaDOS to win
because I just finished Portal 2 last night and yessssssssssssssssssss. Stupid Link/Ganon in the way though. --- ~Acting on Impulse~ Black Turtle still didn't MAJORA'S MASK |
So, on the plus side, we're finally getting Mario/Sonic. On the negative side, Link gets another free win. :-/ --- Currently playing: League of Legends, Chrono Cross. Current Projects: Fool's Overture, CYOA: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/60143513 |
Samus/Ridley no chance against Ryu/Ken! --- peace comes from within |
This bracket is a lot better than I expected it to be. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Wow @ Crono falling so far that he is now R1 Snake fodder --- http://www.celebrityclubber.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Sort_of_want.jpg |
i like this bracket, I didn't really bash the contest during the nom phase and I'm satisfied with the matchups shown. --- Vote for this guy in every contest: ZFS |
Did
my usual "blow through the bracket with minimal thought as it first
comes out" bracket before my serious one. I've got Link/Ganon >
Mario/Bowser, but I'm really considering pulling the trigger on Pokemon
Trainers over Mario/Bowser later on. Anyone else feel like that could be
surprisingly strong? --- Official Board 8 Brawl and Pokemon Champion http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/board8/images/8/8b/ViviffChampS1.jpg |
Yeah, Crono out in round 1 in back-to-back contests. lol --- "Eet's game time..." |
Suggesting contest names like a boss by the way. I am officially...immortal --- http://img.imgcake.com/nio/59xiiipngpy.png |
I like that Frog/Magus will make it much further than Crono will! --- peace comes from within |
I've got Frog/Magus losing in Round 1. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
I've
been talking about that with Leon we speculated that the only real
rivalry in that game was Frog/Magus and people would just "forget" who
crono's rival was supposed to be. --- Vote for this guy in every contest: ZFS |
From: ZFS | #196 more like dat portal 2 boost --- ~Acting on Impulse~ Black Turtle still didn't MAJORA'S MASK |
Raiden/Vamp 'lol' --- peace comes from within |
