So... what if the nomination page never gets posted anywhere but on Board 8? Time to throw a complicated party for the mighty prophet and seer BKSheikah! |
Haste_2 posted... So... what if the nomination page never gets posted anywhere but on Board 8? It won't matter, since Bacon's anti-rally plan is to just post the polls directly on Board 8 and not tell anyone else about the contest. Congrats to 2017 Guru champ BKSheikah! |

UltimaterializerX posted... Has anyone gotten in touch with @creativename? I sent him an email within 24 hours of the nomination form going up and just got back a response from him. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |

LinkMarioSamus posted... What would win a contest match between GTA: San Andreas and Resident Evil 2? LinkMarioSamus posted... How about Banjo-Kazooie vs. Resident Evil 2?

ctesjbuvf posted... So what'd he say? Well, he asked me when the contest is going to begin. I wasn't able to give him a proper answer to that question because Allen hasn't revealed when the first match of the contest will start. But at least he's aware of the upcoming contest.

LeonhartFour posted... Nominate Spider-Man Are characters that are not originated in video games now accepted? O_O |
They're
no longer explicitly disallowed on the nomination form but SBAllen
never outright said it - this was probably intentional. We've been
sliding towards greater inclusivity for awhile. Hitler from Wolfenstein
got into Rivalry Rumble and Dracula from Castlevania got into Character
Battle IX on the justification that they are their own characters rather
than just being representations of their historic/literary
inspirations. We've also gotten an explicit okay for a few characters
like the Digimon and Strider Hiryu whose eligibility was once in doubt.
Presumably SBAllen didn't want to bar Geralt of Rivia from the Witcher
from the character battle but isn't eager to see "Darth Maul and Jane
Eyre" overrun the bracket, hence the quiet change. [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO BKSheikah NO PEACE] |
Just
out of curiosity, were there ever any justifications given for allowing
Alucard and Amaterasu into the contests back when the "gaming
characters only" rule was more strictly enforced? I don't see much of a
difference between them and the Hitler/Dracula examples. Congrats to 2017 Guru champ BKSheikah! |
nobody
seemed to question it I suppose, which is partially why allen has been
more and more lax about enforcing the policy over the years Geralt would really be pushing it though, he's very clearly from a book first. there's no "but the Strider manga was a promo for the game" argument anymore, or even "it's not the hitler from real life," Geralt IS from a book and that is pretty widely known Trading Metal Sonic (Sonic CD) nominations for FREE CUSTOM MATCH PICS! https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/76969119 |
Well,
Alucard/Dracula and Amaterasu are definitely in a more gray area than
other examples you could name. They're reinterpretations of the
mythological/fictional characters they're based on. It's definitely not
the same category as a comic book hero. |
The Witcher is a game series first when it comes to the user base of gamefaqs. Goku and Batman never will be, which is probably why allen doesn't want them in I guess. |
here's
some obscure contest trivia: Jackie Estacado from The Darkness was in
the nomination database once because nobody knew it was a comic first.
someone pointed it out and he was promptly removed. which shows allen either doesn't care enough to research which also probably means he doesn't care enough to strictly enforce the rule hence geralt Trading Metal Sonic (Sonic CD) nominations for FREE CUSTOM MATCH PICS! https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/76969119 |
I
feel like Allen might consider allowing non-game characters in if they
got enough nominations from casual users citing specific games rather
than contest nerds just trying to get big name pop culture characters
in. I really doubt there are any characters not known primarily for
games who would be worth much, though. The voters are smart enough to
know it's a game character contest and would punish characters who
aren't known for their game appearances. Congrats to 2017 Guru champ BKSheikah! |

can already see the 20000000 topics being made on the day of

I just want someone to complain that Spider-Man always wins the contests along with Link and Cloud and Gordon Freeman. Agent Triple Zero at your service! BKSheikah is the new greatone. |
AxemRedRanger posted... They're no longer explicitly disallowed on the nomination form but SBAllen never outright said it - this was probably intentional. Yeah, he's probably hoping that we don't nominate them by not saying anything about their eligibility. There might be more of a push to get characters like Batman and Goku in if Allen had confirmed they were eligible.

ZenOfThunder posted... i can already see the 20000000 topics being made on the day of spider-man's match saying "HE NO GAME CHARACTER WHY HE IN CONTEST????" Meh, hes a bad character in general with a lame personality so link would still win the contest |
Wreath posted... ZenOfThunder posted...i can already see the 20000000 topics being made on the day of spider-man's match saying "HE NO GAME CHARACTER WHY HE IN CONTEST????" I mean sure Link wins anyway despite those things so why not mix it up with good and fun characters |
Would you take Captain America to beat Commander Shepard or Captain Falcon? "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
