Just
got done with filling the bracket just now. I did the best job a I
could with the time giving... can't wait to see how the trollish nature
of the internet and the trendies throws logic out the window. I still
can't can't believe Draven won last time and as for "best game" years
ago... Undertale!?... Seriously!?!? |
Can
anybody explain to me why I'm staring at Dante over Ganondorf in my
bracket knowing that it won't happen but also not changing it? If I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all. |

Can anybody explain to me why I'm staring at Dante over Ganondorf in my bracket knowing that it won't happen but also not changing it? probably the same reason I took Dante I want him, know he won't win, but refuse to actually pick Ganondorf because people actually like Dante and I trust them to go that route! Born to lose, live to win! (edited 10/18/2018 12:26:26 PM) |
Ganondorf sucks and I look for any reason to pick against him every contest I have Ganondorf > Dante |
People are hyped for DMC5 aren't they? If I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all. |
Dante gets announced for Smash Ultimate, just before his match. The other option is that the site's taste has changed. It has been 5 years after all. CBX - Today's Winners: Dante, Lightning, Chun-Li, Ganondorf Score: 0/0 |
I took Ganon to lose to Vivi Just have a feeling something funny can happen there! |
I
gotta say, I miss having more time to read up and post about a Contest
here. That being said - I have one question (maybe it was addressed
earlier, but I am way behind on contest discussion) - I don't see anyone talking about Draven. Is everyone that convinced that the League of Legends community has moved on and doesn't care enough to screw up another contest? Because there is no way this contest will have as high of vote totals as 2k13 - even with the user bonus added in. I feel like if they wanted to, LoL could easily bring in enough votes to crush everyone again. Is everyone convinced that they don't want to anymore? Yay - BkSheikah is the guru champion of awesomeness. |

not to mention the LoL community is in shambles after tons of controversial actions by riot also mobas suck ass and people are starting to realize that Curator of the Character Battle X Archive https://bit.ly/2RFxBzp |
Either
way, at this point I really think I would be more surprised if Link did
win the contest. With the way the last few contests have gone and
declining vote totals, I strongly feel some character will be rallied to
victory again. History repeats itself. It's just a matter of whether
it's a rally we see coming or one that comes out of left field. These are the characters I have seen mentioned as having at least some rally potential - Monika D.Va Waluigi Geralt Draven Sans LBlock Monokuma Which - if any - concern you the most?

D.Va because of the size of the Overwatch community Draven and Sans are unlikely but possible because they are proven commodities I'm not really concerned about the others (edited 10/18/2018 1:33:13 PM) |
I'm worried about Monika getting enough of a rally drummed up that she beats Wario then after that she's gonna snowball, probably to pikachu i think it will be hard to get past Wario but the DDLC subreddit is already in a state of soft mobilization, they won't be enough alone though so it worries me more that the Monika twitter account or the facebook s***lords are gonna hop on the bandwagon too the best we can hope for is to somehow not draw more attention to the contest the day of her match once her s*** is done then i think we have the potential to be rally-free Curator of the Character Battle X Archive https://bit.ly/2RFxBzp |
tennisboy213 posted... D.Va because of the size of the Overwatch community It's strange that you are not concerned about the only rally that has already begun. |
ZeldaTPLink posted... tennisboy213 posted...D.Va because of the size of the Overwatch community Launching a rally before there's anything for your audience to do yet and hope thousands of people stay interested for weeks on end seems foolish "We'll tell the customers that the features promised are in a place outside of Heaven now" -- GransonEx |
okay I guess I'm minorly concerned that Monika's rally can reach twitter etc. but just the reddit community won't be enough |
I'll anti vote fifa, squall, and every kingdom hearts character into oblivion The hands of god, decrepit and thin, Cold caress and then nothing |
pjbasis posted... where are the damn match pics I haven't been able to find them yet. I've also expanded the potential match picture URLs up to 40, and nothing so far. We might have to wait for the first matches to start before we can figure out the match picture URL structure. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
well FIFA is a corrupt organization so anti-vote it all you want |
Wish we got some clarification on Ren / Joker. If I only consulted the Gossip Stones like BKSheikah, instead of listening to Tingle, maybe I could have been the 2017 Guru Champ! |
hylianknight3 posted... Wish we got some clarification on Ren / Joker. send Allen a feedback ticket about it |
Even if the poll updater isn't ready to go, I'll be able to track poll updates in the meantime. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
Brackets are locked down! Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2018 Guru Contest winner. |
The bracket page went down at 7:00:38 PM Eastern (I was refreshing the page to see when it would go down). Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
@Team_Rocket_Elite We've got our first matches coming up in less than an hour from now, so now would be a good time to post the First Vote competition topic. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
I'm playing A Hat in Time right now and I'm really loving it. I just looked for the official reddit to see if it was rally-viable. Unfortunately the reddit only has like 30 people online. Meh. |
ZeldaTPLink posted... I'm playing A Hat in Time right now and I'm really loving it. Excellent news |

LusterSoldier posted... @[.]Team_Rocket_Elite Done. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/77110349 This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
With
less than 30 minutes until the first matches begin, I have not been
able to figure out the match picture URLs (after trying 40 possible
combinations). Looks like we'll have to wait until the first matches
begin so I can see what the match picture URL structure looks like. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
Not
the time to be asking pointless questions (but I will anyway); how many
of these contest stats topics have accidentally been let purge before
500? |

Theres always a Luster or TRE around to bump COntest Stat topics even during the very long off seasons ISFJ Big on Visual Novels, Anime, Video games. Twitter: superange128 Planned 2018 Fighting Game Mains: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DgH4MCHVMAAKV9l.png |
OFool posted... Not the time to be asking pointless questions (but I will anyway); how many of these contest stats topics have accidentally been let purge before 500? It's happened before, but only during the offseason when these topics have far less activity.

Side note (because I honestly don't remember) - What happened to Missingno. in it's match against Sephiroth years ago? I asked about rally potential this year and thought about Missingno's rally against Crono. That stupid thing should have been able to build up momentum and steamroll to the finals based on it's first round. Does anyone remember what happened in that Sephiroth match? Yay - BkSheikah is the guru champion of awesomeness. |
Does that page that show match updates still exist? |
I wish missingno made it so bad The hands of god, decrepit and thin, Cold caress and then nothing |
Taking a look at my final choices, something feels wrong about Squall > Zelda and Tifa > Luigi. Like, REALLY wrong. Other than that, I'm pretty confident in my bracket. Here lies the sig of BK_Sheikah00, who swore fealty to the Gurus of Board 8. |
zelda scares me forget squall, i'm more worried she beats sonic Born to lose, live to win! |
Man,
I can't believe it's been 5 years since the last Character Battle. It
might sound dumb, but I am kind of excited. Even if I know that it's
only a matter of time before some random fanbase comes in and screws
things up again. I guess my excitement this time is to see WHO screws
things up. Yay - BkSheikah is the guru champion of awesomeness. |
