He isn't a fraud. He just had a game come out that everyone wanted during his match. He's a top 20 character instead of top 10. Oh no.

Oh sorry, FRAUD ON THE LEVEL OF SAMMY SOSA GUYZ.

You do get that outsiders read posts exactly like yours and ExTha's and decide to rally to spite your mentality, yes? How you haven't figured this out by now is beyond me. ExTha was even literally quoted by Undertale fans half a dozen times in 2015 and they just laughed at him.


Not much we can do about that. One of the instances was they took a bunch of quotations from an account that was barely two weeks old but removed the name on the quotations. That way it looked like it was an anonymized sample of Board 8 users when in reality it was just a single random user (plus a few real quotations from ExThaNemesis). That user would go on to get banned fairly quickly but the damage is done at that point.
This was not the best year for my bracket.

2013's Pokemon performances cannot be proven to be a fraud. After all, if Pokemon's performance is worse this contest, a whopping five years later, it could simply be that Pokemon has weakened.

Mewtwo, however, could still be proven beyond a reasonable doubt to be a "fraud" if Mewtwo turns out to be weaker than Pikachu this contest. I suppose. I mean, there's no reason for them to swap positions in the Pokemon hiearchy, right? (in other words, that would mean Mewtwo's second place in the MM/Pika/M2 match was a fluke)

The rally was already well and truly under way before I said anything that they quoted.

I know I'm super charismatic and make a great villain, but you continue to give me far too much credit.

And I thought it was blatantly obvious that Leon was mostly being tongue in cheek with his MEWTWO IS A FRAUD meme but I guess some people are taking it seriously.

But I got the impression FFXV was the disappointment of the year.

And Master Hand is like the Pac Man of Nintendo characters. Nobody loves it but everyone knows it. Might be a good fodder line tbh.

Guys can we all agree estimating pokefear strength is a crapshoot and we are probably all wrong and shake our hands and go sing kumbaya together.

[naive mode on]
Just based on my research today Noctis seems slightly more popular than Lightning.

Which is worrying for him.

I don't know. I don't have a decent explanation for why 15 won that pool.

I'm just saying I've been watching people s*** on modern final fantasy since I first heard the franchise existed. I don't put my money on any FF game whose number can't be counted in my hands.
Noctis doesn't have to be strong to beat Master Hand.

He's probably the weakest joke character we've ever seen in these things aside from CATS.

*checks*

actually CATS finished higher than him in the Villains Contest X-Stats

so yeah the weakest
Keltiq 10/9/2018 8:15:13 PM#275
FF15 was a garbage game, but Noctis has the advantage of having a pretty face and, technically, a personality.

If Hand were playable in SmUsh, it'd be a different story.

Is Master Hand even really a joke character? He's pretty much played straight in the SSB games. While he looks like a glove, he's not an inanimate object like many of the other joke characters.
This was not the best year for my bracket.
Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest!
the confusion of whether he's even a joke character or not is exactly why he's the worst one
As for Pokemon... it's so weird.

Both Zard and M2 are the quintessential fanboy pokemon. That's why they got 2 megas each and nobody else did.

But Zard is more popular among young boys. He's also more hated among everyone who is not a young boy. Does that translate into anti-voting? Certainly, but I don't know how many.

Other than that Mewtwo shouldn't be much stronger than Zard. Same franchise, same type of character, same trend which made them both strong in 2013. If they go down now they go together.

I'm buying a pokefear deboost for a number of reasons. I just don't get why pokemon should move separately in it. I think if one is a fraud they all are.

Sandbag is a joke character, though. Technically Sandbag isn't inanimate either but it largely plays the role of one in SSB.
This was not the best year for my bracket.
Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest!
Sandbag proved it was stronger than Master Hand by beating Magus in the first place.

As bad as Magus has gotten, he'd never lose to Kuja.
What's up guys.

I'm really struggling with Aqua vs. Quiet. Aqua has the KH/Square factor, but she's a newer character. Quiet is also a newer character, but I feel like TJF might be real for her.

Has there been any substantial debate/discussion about this? I'm going with Quiet for now.
Best. Game. Ever.: 20th Anniversary Edition. Final Score: 228/448 :-(
Congratulations DpObliVion!
I like Quiet as an upset pick, but I imagine most people are picking Aqua.
I'm taking Aqua, mostly because Kingdom Hearts is a bit more relevant than MGS right now, and dat top option. Match picture could be volatile here because Quiet could just as well end up with melty concept art or a closeup of her top options, whereas Aqua is always going to look like a Kingdom Hearts character

I think Quiet getting concept art would be extremely unlikely unless paulg is trying to sabotage her.

I mean, it's not bad but it'd be a deliberate attempt to downplay one of her key appeals, and you kinda have to go out of your way to even find any.

You can see the possibilities. Two things that worry me is that the concept art would be easiest stuff to render and submit, and the fact that we don't know the deal about pics yet. If we end up with just the stuff on the bracket page for Round 1, she's in BAD shape.

Something else to keep in mind: As long ago as Kuja/Master Hand was, the Nintendo Boost had already taken place. Master Hand's probably not going to be much stronger now. (of course, there is the double-registered votes.) And Zidane sucked in 2005, too, which in turn would make Kuja also look pretty terrible.

Mewtwo is a fraud

I'm not just saying that for fun (although it is fun). I'm saying it because it's true and because people seem to believe any of Mewtwo's matches in CBIX are trustworthy.

(Pokemon was getting rallied in every match they participated in anyway)

Glad to hear someone got some use out of them (especially considering my 2015 predictions were a mess)! I was considering doing so but Leon already did an analysis topic, so even if I made a more detailed one I think people already got their discussion fill in.
