huh pretty high play rate for Banjo-Kazooie

Only 19% know the real Banjo experience of dying in the propeller room of Rusty Bucket Bay and having to get all the notes again.

Where is the summer contest


It's definitely taking longer than I expected for a contest announcement since Allen did say "Summer" a few months ago. If we don't get a contest announcement soon, we'll be looking at a Fall contest instead.

Agreed. It's a super game, but not particularly strong in a contest. It makes me wonder how many other games we haven't seen polling for that has 50+% playrates here.

128 characters, including characters that appear as assist trophies, pokeballs and general trophies.

Pokemon dominate, Waluigi wins.
Congratulations to BKSheikah for winning the guru
calm down guys

summer just started a week ago so he's got plenty of time
swirIdude 6/29/2018 10:24:38 AM#364
I think everyone wants the contest now so that Waluigi can win it. If we wait too long, it'll go back to whatever Overwatch or LoL hero can be rallied the best.

That's not true!

I mean, if that contest is Rivalry Rumble II, then Luigi will win! That's something!

as a Luigi fan I don't want him to win something because he's attached to Waluigi

but "there are no winners" has been the theme of the last few contests so might as well continue the trend

Give us a new contest already.

Pichu is an in-joke in the Smash community, whereas our contests will feature many other series. I wouldn't expect Pichu to repeat that performance, even with Pokemon's strength in 2013.

I wasn't being entirely serious but Pichu got nearly 7000 votes in the final. That's a big enough rally to be threatening.

Pichu would be golden as a rally target. The problem is Pokemon fans suck at rallying.

I mean these are technically SSB fans not just Pokemon fans. Also they are likely SSBM fans at that. We know they can rally. They won't beat an Undertale rally but they can demolish unrallied characters.

I like popularity contests as an actual measuring stick of what popular opinion is. It's fun to discuss even.

But when someone manipulates it so that a voting subset is over represented, it's just completely boring to me.
That would require Pichu to even get into the contest though.

Now that you mention it, I wonder if Pichu and Pikachu can be in the same contest. If so, maybe we can get Blastoise in even with Squirtle around.

I don't see a reason why Pichu/Pikachu or Squritle/Blastoise can't be in a contest together.

It would seem unlikely, because there are only so many spots to go around.

If they did another 200+ contest, I would be fine with as many Pokémon that can get the noms, but Pichu/Pikachu and Squirtle/Blastoise in a 128 contest would be excessive.
