I highly doubt Series in modern GFAQs contests would result in such an outcome again

Rivalry might.


at the very least nobody will be picking Star Ocean to beat Pokemon this time

I wouldn't mind Series again as long as it was a 'break' contest. But since we'll be lucky to get 1 a year at this point, no.


If there was another Series contest, I think we would have to do a 64 entrant bracket as I think the days of 32 entrant brackets are way behind us now (we haven't gotten a 32 entrant bracket since 2006).

Even Link's case for being removed isn't that good. He can be beaten. Heck, he got 54% on one of the weakest Clouds we've ever seen the last time he actually won one of these things.

For the next Character Battle , there ought to be a champion's bracket or something. Maybe the a champion can run that bracket as a sort of Elite Four.


maybe we could do a Battle Royal or something

Link
Cloud
Sephiroth
Mario
Samus
L-Block
Draven

Who's ready for THIS


8 character round robin, 24 hour matches.

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
Allen needs to work out the legal side of things so we can finally get that Darth Vader vs Mario match.

well this result is absurd, i expected undertale to be winning but not by this much

12 hour matches stunk, it was cool to get through the junk part of the bracket quickly but i know i missed a bunch of the matches i would have liked to have voted on

Pick your percentages, gentlemen.

Mario is probably the weakest he's been since the Nintendo Boost.

Mario with 50.05%

(at 12:05)

HE WAS UP AT 10 BUT HE WAS DOWN AT 11

We should have multi-matches. We should in no way make most of the contest multi-matches like this year. Too many showdowns were polluted or outright ruined to begin with.

We got exactly three one poll a day matches this year, and two were blowouts well in excess of 60/40 (so far).


Not one match was polluted or had a result changed due to the format.

That was a super hyped match for me because Pokemon looked so bad up until that match and I really thought it could lose. Now, I wouldn't be happy if it couldn't wreck Metroid. >_>

No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585.

god help me i am so close to parodying gandalf's speech to denethor only changed for OoT.

We could easily speed up the contest with 4 matches per day in round 1, 2 matches per day in round 2, and then 1 match per day in round 3 and beyond. That would result in a 31 day contest (the same length as the previous Series Contest).

We could barely get 32 worthwhile entrants for that contest. Now we want to double it?

Remember when Pikachi sneaking past Tidus and Vivi due to LFF was a shocking result?

If we don't do a Characters or Games Contest, what other ideas are there

I remember when it was an awful result, too

that was the beginning of the shift toward the dark timeline that Undertale has (hopefully) snapped us out of now that it buried Pokemon

I mean, just look at this!

"There was never much hope. Just a fool's hope. Our enemy is almost ready, his full strength gathered. Not only Tumblr, but Reddit as well; legions from Kotaku from the South, Twitch from the coast - All will answer Undertale's call. This will be the end of GameFAQs as we know it. Here the hammerstroke will fall hardest. If Ocarina of Time is taken, if Link falls, the last defense of this contest will be gone."

it's just too good

A series contest can be interesting, to see how Mario, Smash, FF and Pokemon would do against each other. Of course LoZ still wins by default.

Congratulations to DpObliVion, the 2k15 BGE Guru champ!
Still rooting for Best Generic Enemy
minus Pokemon

Ralliers' determination can't even hold a birthday candle to the blazing flame of DpOblivion's winning spirit!

8000+ lead vote barrier

OoT looks like such a jobber right now. Looks like it's a wrap.

I suppose I'll start helping out with the wiki again after this match ends, that needs to be updated.
I would still take FF over all of those except Zelda, honestly.

FF still beats Mario, I think. Both of their stocks have fallen a lot.

Several, potentially. Judging by the natural vote total increase the two times we narrowed the amount of matches per day, it's very possible that Mass Effect 3 would have won its poll against Undertale if all the matches were 1v1.

Not that that would be a compelling reason to go 1v1 the whole way through, but at a minimum we lost any chance of Mario 3/Pokemon or FFVII/FFVI being matches due to pollution.
