...jesus f***ing christ do we need a contest Not_Wylvane |
I'm
okay with a standard character battle. I'm even okay with Link being in
and winning it, 'cuz Breath of the Wild was that good. Come watch me on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/gameryogi |
You're getting a Monika/Madeline final and you're going to like it Not_Wylvane |
What game is the latter from? Oh, Celeste. [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO BKSheikah NO PEACE] (edited 3/3/2018 8:38:11 AM) |
I've been playing the hell out of Celeste, I would totally vote for Madeline. No, let's go further - DARK Madeline for 2018 champ. Come watch me on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/gameryogi |
Next contest should just be "Best Dark Character Ever" and just be full of the Dark versions of all characters. Dark Link, Dark Samus, Wario, Cloud (i.e. Dark Zack), etc. Not_Wylvane |
Not_Wylvane posted... Next contest should just be "Best Dark Character Ever" and just be full of the Dark versions of all characters. Though I like the concept of Villains better, seeing Evil Ryu, Omega Rugal, and (maybe?) Shadow the Hedgehog would also be nice. Here lies the sig of BK_Sheikah00, who swore fealty to the Gurus of Board 8. |
oh boy we could see dark serge could lose a match! [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO BKSheikah NO PEACE] |
Dark Serge would beat Dark Jak |

bwburke94 posted... Advokaiser posted...Not_Wylvane posted...show hidden quote(s)Next contest should just be "Best Dark Character Ever" and just be full of the Dark versions of all characters. Yes, and it apparently wasn't that well-received. I mentioned it because I think a "Dark Character Battle" wouldn't be as good as Villains, which wasn't so popular in the first place. Here lies the sig of BK_Sheikah00, who swore fealty to the Gurus of Board 8. |
Besides, Villains was an excuse to get Sephiroth out of the main bracket... I have a signature now. Signatures are cool. |
Would Sephiroth win a second villains contest (assuming no rallying)? He didn't look so great in the last contest. Congratulations to BKSheikah for winning the guru |

The same character that would rally to win a contest if it were held right now...if you catch my drift. No rallying, Seph probably still wins though.

Actually, I guess Mewtwo would maybe have a worthwhile shot at it, assuming he counts as a villain here. |
Hitler would probably get rallied and then anti-rallied into this utterly bizarre back-and-forth match that breaks 100k votes. Not_Wylvane |
Not_Wylvane posted... Hitler would probably get rallied and then anti-rallied into this utterly bizarre back-and-forth match that breaks 100k votes. Allowing him into the Rivalry Rumble was a mistake. I have a signature now. Signatures are cool. |
If
Rivarly Rumble is any indication, Ganondorf still beats Sephiroth to
this day. Cloud vs. Sephiroth was that good of a rivalry that many
(including me) picked it winning, but FFVII's been losing steam overall
since at least 2009. Here lies the sig of BK_Sheikah00, who swore fealty to the Gurus of Board 8. |
Advokaiser posted... If Rivarly Rumble is any indication It isn't. |
rivalry rumble gave Bartz a contest win, it’s very legit |
Smart money's on Kefka -- he essentially beat Cloud in our last Character Battle! https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5178-character-battle-ix-division-4-round-1-kefka-vs-zack-vs-ryu Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! http://i.imgur.com/Dr4NAeq.png |
It also gave Waluigi a win. f*** the Rivalry Rumble. Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! http://i.imgur.com/Dr4NAeq.png (edited 3/3/2018 7:31:22 PM) |
HaRRicH posted... It also gave Waluigi a win. f*** the Rivalry Rumble. Waa! I have a signature now. Signatures are cool. |
that Waluigi win maintained FFIV's shutout in Character Battles so I'll allow it |
HaRRicH posted... It also gave Waluigi a win. f*** the Rivalry Rumble. You're lousy! "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
Contest Kefka is still f***ing amazing, the ultimate wild card. Not_Wylvane |
LeonhartFour posted... Actually, I guess Mewtwo would maybe have a worthwhile shot at it, assuming he counts as a villain here. Mewtwo is not a villain in the games, so he would not be eligible. I'd be curious to see if Giovanni could get above the fodder line, though.

It depends what you consider a villain. Mewtwo has been a boss character in side games like Pokemon Stadium. Congratulations to BKSheikah for winning the guru |
charmander6000 posted... It depends what you consider a villain. Mewtwo has been a boss character in side games like Pokemon Stadium. Boss character of a side game feels too flimsy to make it into a villains bracket. Technically Mario is a villain in a "side" game but he wasn't in Villains 2005 and I doubt he'd be in a new Villains contest. I guess you could call Mewtwo a "secret boss" in that he's the most powerful encounter in Cerulean Cave, but other than his power and rarity, his encounter is identical to that of any wild Pokemon battle.

His
in-game backstory involves being a science project cloned of the
ultimate lifeform that breaks out. That's a villain backstory if I ever
heard one! Plus he was the villain in the movie, and he's associated with Giovanni these days too. |
pjbasis posted... His in-game backstory involves being a science project cloned of the ultimate lifeform that breaks out. That's a villain backstory if I ever heard one! Sounds more like the backstory of a tragic figure. The scientists are the true villains there. The movie is non-canon as far as the games are concerned - we shouldn't have video game contests with anime entrants. Save Mewtwo for the all-fictional villains contest. "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima BKSheikah won Guru, but you know that. |
Pretty sure Mewtwo was in one of those villain event things in smash Bros. |
I think we could be looking at some INSANE contest prize money if this is any indication: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/6-gamefaqs-announcements/76374552 The most expensive FAQ Bounty listed is for Kingdom Hearts III, valued at $3000. It wouldn't surprise me if the grand prize for the next GameFAQs Contest exceeded $5000 considering the most expensive grand prize was a $2000 gaming bundle from the last Games Contest and that happened before the GameFAQs subdomain switch. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
They should be giving away money for Top 10 lists... It would be a good incentive to finally write down a few. Here lies the sig of BK_Sheikah00, who swore fealty to the Gurus of Board 8. |
Man, I knew KH3 would be popular, but $3,000 worth? Also I could argue this means the contest prizes will actually be devalued, because all of the money is going into the FAQs. "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima BKSheikah won Guru, but you know that. |
I
would prefer if the contest prizes weren't increased in value and
maintained at the current value that we've seen in previous major
contests. Increasing the value of the contest prizes might come at the
cost of getting contests like every 2 to 3 years when this board really
wants to see contests every year again. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
god damn Maybe I should switch careers into FAQ writing. Not_Wylvane |

Increasing the value of the contest prizes might come at the cost of getting contests like every 2 to 3 years when this board really wants to see contests every year again. We're already only getting contests every 2 to 3 years! By this logic, the prize pool should be reduced. Although from what Allen has said in the past, I think the current gap between contests has a lot to do with legal issues.

What could those legal issues be? I have a signature now. Signatures are cool. |
There's
a lot of legal red tape involved when you're giving away prizes. But
I'm suspecting that the reason for multi-year gaps in contests is that
contests don't bring in the kind of traffic that they used to, since
they're on the home page and most GameFAQs visitors are not going to the
home page these days. So why go through the legal red tape every year
if you're not getting enough benefit for it? Ultimately, these questions can only be answered by SBAllen himself. "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima BKSheikah won Guru, but you know that. |
Sephiroth,
Bowser, and Ganondorf are probably all weaker now than they were in the
villains contest, but they're still too strong for the rest of the
field to make it interesting. Come watch me on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/gameryogi (edited 3/5/2018 2:39:55 AM) |

Bump This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
If we have to wait till 2019 for another contest I'll consider the gap to have been of four years, not two. IGN: Caio FC: 1865-0018-0383 |
SB said there would be one this summer. Predicting Character Battle X. Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! http://i.imgur.com/Dr4NAeq.png |
#hype IGN: Caio FC: 1865-0018-0383 |
So... Tifa vs. Sephiroth... would you dare take Tifa in a contest match? Time to throw a complicated party for the mighty prophet and seer BKSheikah! |
