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)

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.

In a contest setting, does Super Mario Galaxy 2 beat Mass Effect 2?

In other words, are you asking if ME1 is stronger than ME2?

The answer is no.
Tekashi69 8/1/2018 5:28:29 AM#12
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

The answer is no.


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.

Which would be the strongest newcomer in a new Character Battle? Sans? Noctis? Monika?

Also, would Norimaro beat anything in a modern setting?

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.

have they moved on to something else

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It's still a non-zero chance (just a lot lower now), no one is going to create a massive rally for Yoshi.

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
