Still 5 posts to go before Ulti becomes a liar! [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO BKSheikah NO PEACE] |
Burn Ulti at the stake I don't really care whether he lied or not, just a good idea in general. Not_Wylvane |
which Octopath Traveler character would be the strongest |
tag Is this Elite Beat Agents 2? |
LeonhartFour posted... which Octopath Traveler character would be the strongest *I* believe in Tressa. (Though Primrose has seemed like a fan favorite ever since the first demo) n2k |
I
honestly have no clue, but probably Tressa, Therion, or Primrose.
Alfyn's too love-or-hate, nobody cares about H'aanit, Olberic and
Ophelia are decent but overshadowed, and Cyrus kinda gets overlooked. I'd go with Tressa myself, maybe throw in Primrose if the contest has a lot of characters. Still don't think any of them would be above high fodder, though, as the game seems pretty niche on GameFAQs. Not_Wylvane |
Definitely gotta be Primrose. "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima BKSheikah won Guru, but you know that. |
Dost thou lacketh faith in H'aanit? This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
In a contest setting, does Super Mario Galaxy 2 beat Mass Effect 2? "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
In other words, are you asking if ME1 is stronger than ME2? The answer is no. |
What would be stronger Overwatch OR whatever overwatch character is most popular? Dva? Yet... |
Tracer and D.Va are probably most popular Tracer is definitely most recognizable, she got a huge marketing push in the beginning and is on the cover D.Va is just a fan favorite cuz uuuuhhhhh cute girl I guess McCree seems popular too? Note: I have not played Overwatch before Is this Elite Beat Agents 2? |
LeonhartFour posted... In other words, are you asking if ME1 is stronger than ME2? ME1 got 45% on a Smash game, ME2 got eviscerated by an MGS game. If you set the two equal then MGS3 gets like 56% on Smash 4...actually that doesn't sound so unreasonable TBH. "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |

Which would be the strongest newcomer in a new Character Battle? Sans? Noctis? Monika? Also, would Norimaro beat anything in a modern setting? Here lies the sig of BK_Sheikah00, who swore fealty to the Gurus of Board 8. |
Excluding rallied entries, probably whoever the most popular FF15 character is. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
Tracer, D.Va or Monika with rallies. Other than that, it's hard to say. We had basically everyone with even a little strength in CBIX, so we'd need a surprise new character to capture the hearts of thousands of voters... ...Primrose?

The
Octopath characters feel like they will be a good step down in
popularity relative to Xenoblade 2 characters and I don't expect much
from the Xenoblade 2 cast. Being an ensemble cast will hurt everyone in
Octopath. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
do masses of people still fellate Undertale or are they over it now have they moved on to something else Is this Elite Beat Agents 2? |
Most
have moved on from Undertale. But I don't know if tumblr still has
enough religious followers to influence our next contest. "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima BKSheikah won Guru, but you know that. |
Definitely
tracking today's poll since previous versions of this poll had some
noticeable trends (Geolocation based trends) in the past. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/76867879 It's happening! This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
hell yeah autumn contest Not_Wylvane |
It's still summer! This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
Contest's a contest, I'm f***ing happy either way. Not_Wylvane |
Does a character battle mean it is Waluigi time? It's a question we need to take seriously now. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7115-if-you-could-convince-nintendo-to-just-put-one-more That was an month and a half ago so the fire has died down a bit since then. However, it might just take one "underdog" win to kick it off again. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
a contest teaser huh I'll take it |
Time to start speculating about the bracket! Hype!! "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima BKSheikah won Guru, but you know that. |
Given
the precedent from last character battle, I'm guessing the 8 characters
in the image probably end up being the 1 seeds for an 8-division
bracket. [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO BKSheikah NO PEACE] (edited 8/3/2018 1:28:46 PM)report |
So both BKSheikah from 2017 and DpObliVion from 2015 get a guru nom for this one, right? Anyone know what they said they'd pick for a character battle? I think I remember one of them saying he was considering Aqua from Kingdom Hearts. [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO BKSheikah NO PEACE] |
So is it pronounced Character Battle Ecks |
I think it'll be Character Battle Key to hype up KH3 |
swirIdude posted... Time to start speculating about the bracket! 1v1 or riot All your old meme are belong to me. |
Team Rocket Elite posted... Does a character battle mean it is Waluigi time? It's a question we need to take seriously now. I'll be honest, I'd fully expect Waluigi to win. Though my predictions have been better in traditional contests than rallies where anyone can win. I might still go with the Waluigi victory though since I think it's still recent enough that he'll get some love from the complete f***ing internet. Not_Wylvane |
Waluigi vs Frog 1v1 who ya got "i am pretty sure 3-year old children would generate more thoughtful discussion than board 8 on any topic of sexism" - Naye745 |
Chrono Trigger (characters) are down and Waluigi is up. It's Waluigi Time! "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima BKSheikah won Guru, but you know that. (edited 8/3/2018 3:46:08 PM)report |
'tis the season for Nomination Rallies https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/76868408 please nominate Metal Sonic I might do one for Morrigan later idk, depends on the format Is this Elite Beat Agents 2? |
Who are we all nominating, BKSheikah? Dilated Chemist Tears from BKSheikah's eyes cure cancer, too bad he never cries. (edited 8/3/2018 4:40:28 PM)report |
Pretty sure BK's initial choice was Aqua, but maybe he's changed his mind since then. |
AxemRedRanger posted... So both BKSheikah from 2017 and DpObliVion from 2015 get a guru nom for this one, right? Yes, both of them will get a Guru nom for this contest since the 2017 contest didn't have a nomination process. BKSheikah was the one who was considering Aqua from Kingdom Hearts, but I don't take that as direct confirmation of his Guru choice. We'll have to wait for BKSheikah to post a topic to confirm his Guru choice. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
swirIdude posted... Chrono Trigger (characters) are down and Waluigi is up. It's Waluigi Time! Waluigi has a non-zero chance of winning this contest outright, if you think about it. That's pretty damn scary. Agent Triple Zero at your service! BKSheikah is the new greatone. |
_SecretSquirrel posted... swirIdude posted...Chrono Trigger (characters) are down and Waluigi is up. It's Waluigi Time! The meme is already dead. He would have won this contest a month ago.

UltimaterializerX posted... _SecretSquirrel posted...swirIdude posted...show hidden quote(s)Chrono Trigger (characters) are down and Waluigi is up. It's Waluigi Time! Well, at least until they start announcing Smash DLC. But yeah, the timing is a bit off for him to me to actually pull the trigger on it. Agent Triple Zero at your service! BKSheikah is the new greatone. |
It's still a non-zero chance (just a lot lower now), no one is going to create a massive rally for Yoshi. Congratulations to BKSheikah for winning the guru |

im going to guess the contest will be 1v1 with 4 matches a day in hopes that quick matches will crush rallies but the low votals may make things even easier for rallies idk but it would be cool if we got a 256 character bracket with tons of 1v1 matches to celebrate 10 years of history what if Allen automatically enters everyone who has ever been in a contest before and then adds more from noms and the s*** is like a 500+ character bracket that goes on forever i dont know if I'd love or hate it Is this Elite Beat Agents 2?

ZenOfThunder posted... what if Allen automatically enters everyone who has ever been in a contest before and then adds mire from noms and the s*** is like a 500+ character bracket that goes on forever Everyone is here. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
Character Battle Ultimate |
actually how big would the contest be if it had everyone who's ever been in one before |
