hylianknight3 posted... Do you have to vote in all four matches or am I just an idiot? I didn't know if this was some kind of super secret anti-rally measure to make the Just Monika people refuse to vote lol It does appear you have to vote for all 4, interestingly enough ISFJ Big on Visual Novels, Anime, Video games.

Is there any hope of Spyro pulling through? Still hoping. |
Spyro/Chun-Li had an exciting first 10 minutes before stabilizing :/ Congratulations to BK_Sheikah00, this year's guru to achieve contest enlightenment! |
Hbthebattle posted... Is there any hope of Spyro pulling through? short of a rally, no |
What's the biggest comeback from a non rally? Started from the bottom now we here |
haloiscoolisbak posted... What's the biggest comeback from a non rally? 2000+ votes, but that's back when matches got 100,000 votes |

Also it's so weird that after 5 hours with the double voting, we're already above the Polls of the Day from the last months ISFJ Big on Visual Novels, Anime, Video games. Twitter: superange128 Planned 2018 Fighting Game Mains: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DgH4MCHVMAAKV9l.png |
man Chun-Li has really taken off closing in on 57% now |
That Chun-Li song is making the difference. "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima BKSheikah won Guru, but you know that. |
Why am I looking at a Poll of the Day right now 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... Why am I looking at a Poll of the Day right now Because apparently Allen decided to run regular polls during the contest. It's the first time since 2008 that we had a regular poll currently active at the same time as a contest match. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |

swirIdude posted... Anyone else remember those GameRiot polls from 2004? literally spoiled the result of Wind Waker/Metroid Prime before the match happened lawl |
I'm not sure if Lightning is better than expected or if Chloe is terrible fodder. |
Chloe is definitely terrible fodder, but it's perhaps possible that maybe Lightning wasn't as bad as CBIX made her look. |
Forgot to pick Link to win the final match against the loser-bracket-champion, bracket invalid. Damn I can't even submit a bracket any more. What an idiot. |
pjbasis posted... Any trends yet? Well, it's hard to say since cn's updater cuts off at midnight so I can't examine the percentage shifts too closely at the moment. This is when we should be in the dead zone where Europe dominates, and Spyro's chopping off percentage at a good clip now. Chloe is, too, strangely. I guess Europe doesn't like FFXIII despite generally liking the series. I would normally expect Ganondorf to start dropping off here, too, but he's actually doing better in the UK than in North America. Did TWEWY not come out in Europe or something? *checks* It did. I figured technically being Square would help Neku here, but I guess he's more closely related to Nintendo in terms of trends. (edited 10/19/2018 12:10:40 AM) |
Cuphead got done dirty by his bracket placement. That is all. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh BKSheikah |
I'm pretty curious on how a Cuphead vs Spyro match would play out. I think it would at least be close. My Quest to beat the Final Fantasies: I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X XII XIII XV |
LeonhartFour posted... Chloe is definitely terrible fodder, but it's perhaps possible that maybe Lightning wasn't as bad as CBIX made her look. I think this is right. FFs and Zeldas tend to gain more popularity when they aren't the most recent. I think for some games there may be a goldilocks zone where it's still new enough to give it a second chance and reconsider, but not old enough for them to lose favor due to a shrinking fanbase.

If
Cuphead = Spyro, Dante would beat Chun-Li with 66.32%. I don't think
I'd be willing to give Dante quite that much on her (although he'd
probably fall somewhere in the 62-64% range, I think), so I'd probably
favor Spyro. |
Lightning Strikes posted... Cuphead got done dirty by his bracket placement. That is all. I think he would have needed more nominations to be able to do anything, because the only 1 seeds he might have a shot at are 2B and Geralt, and it's debatable at best if he'd take out either of them. There are definitely some weak fourpacks in the bracket he might have had a shot at. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2018 Guru Contest winner. |
_SecretSquirrel posted... There are definitely some weak fourpacks in the bracket he might have had a shot at. such as the one tomorrow if he were in Vivi's place (although I think I might take Narukami > Cuphead) I think he'd definitely win the Shantae/Velvet/James fourpack if you sub him in Yoshi's place though |
Lightning Strikes posted... Cuphead got done dirty by his bracket placement. That is all. Cuphead didn't get a lot of noms and he's performing like a 16 should against a 1 seed. It doesn't look like he got done dirty to me, it looks like he got a pretty fair placement and votes for how popular he is. Ulti, nifboy, yo, Jman, voltch, Kaxon, Z1mZum, Rufus Shinra, EC, FastFalcon, Krahen, Dr Football, BT, SuperNiceDog, raytan, Dp BKSheikah |
Hmmm
in that case might have to try for a nomination rally for Cuphead next
contest (hopefully it's soon enough for him to stay relevant). I'd love
to see him go for an upset match on someone around Spyro's level My Quest to beat the Final Fantasies: I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X XII XIII XV |
LeonhartFour posted... _SecretSquirrel posted...There are definitely some weak fourpacks in the bracket he might have had a shot at. Yeah, but that's a bit unrealistic to take out 3 seeded characters for a 16 seed. But if Cuphead just got a few extra nominations and moved up just one seed, we could have him in the Ellie/KOS-MOS/Aqua four pack in Quiet's place, or in the Shovel/Toad/Waluigi fourpack in Aerith's place. He probably wouldn't be favored in those slots, but I wouldn't be surprised if he placed above some of those characters I mentioned. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2018 Guru Contest winner. |
Those
are fair hypotheticals, but I don't think Cuphead wins against Aqua and
Aerith would leave him with a loss so that's a poor choice of
replacements. Ulti, nifboy, yo, Jman, voltch, Kaxon, Z1mZum, Rufus Shinra, EC, FastFalcon, Krahen, Dr Football, BT, SuperNiceDog, raytan, Dp BKSheikah |
LeonhartFour posted... _SecretSquirrel posted...There are definitely some weak fourpacks in the bracket he might have had a shot at. I think Cup would edge out over Narukami. He made Shadow look strong in 2013, who then lost to Gordon Freeman in round 2. Persona tends to get overestimated I think likely because of how good the games are.

Persona has a very strong core audience, but it doesn't reach the broad audience. Ulti, nifboy, yo, Jman, voltch, Kaxon, Z1mZum, Rufus Shinra, EC, FastFalcon, Krahen, Dr Football, BT, SuperNiceDog, raytan, Dp BKSheikah |
ChichiriMuyo posted... Persona has a very strong core audience, but it doesn't reach the broad audience. Persona 5 sold like 2.5 million copies and looked really strong on GameFAQs. Those days are over, it's mainstream now. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh BKSheikah |
Yeah I think P5 might have started reaching the broad though, which is why I picked.... Ren, although I'm slowly regretting that My Quest to beat the Final Fantasies: I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X XII XIII XV |
I'm not regretting it at all as long as @SBAllen actually calls Joker Joker.
Most people who played P5 know him only as Joker, Ren isn't in the main
game, only spinoffs that aren't even out in the west yet. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh BKSheikah (edited 10/19/2018 12:50:00 AM) |

It's amazing that all these years after Character Battle II, we still find ourselves in Lettuce Kefka-esque moments. Agent Triple Zero at your service!

Lightning Strikes posted... ChichiriMuyo posted...Persona has a very strong core audience, but it doesn't reach the broad audience. Fails the mom test. Fortnite is an example of a mainstream video game. No one knows what the f*** a Persona even is outside hardcore JRPG fans.

Lightning Strikes posted... ChichiriMuyo posted...Persona has a very strong core audience, but it doesn't reach the broad audience. It had one pretty popular game. We don't know how that's going to pan out. It could result in a boost but it could also be ignored.

UltimaterializerX posted... Lightning Strikes posted...ChichiriMuyo posted...show hidden quote(s)Persona has a very strong core audience, but it doesn't reach the broad audience. If random non-gaming mums are your barometer, then there are only six or seven mainstream games out there. Let's put it another way: Persona is now bigger than Metroid. Hell it's easily the third biggest JRPG series now behind only FF and Pokémon which probably puts it at around five or six for all RPGs. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh BKSheikah |

Metal Gear Solid fails the mom test too, and it's still pretty strong here. |
Persona is not bigger than Dragon Quest. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |
LeonhartFour posted... I'd be fine if Hat Kid was the weakest character in the contest Ok now I'm trying to rally Hat Kid. |
No
seriously this is like the best 3D platformer since Banjo Tooie
(granted I didn't play Galaxy and Odissey but Mario has always been
inferior to Rare). It's one of those games that is worth playing just for going around jumping over buildings due to how well designed the controls are. And the levels themselves are so fun and creative. I player the Murder of the Owl Express a few days back and was amazed. Like a friend of mine made a mafia game from it and I am envious that he beat me to it. A mafia game from a single level of the game. |
UltimaterializerX posted... Persona is not bigger than Dragon Quest. In the west it is. Congrats to BKSheikah, the new Guru champ! Not that I'm bitter or anything... |

UltimaterializerX posted... https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6052-best-game-ever-day-1-dragon-quest-viii-vs-persona-3 I'm pretty sure P4 is when the series exploded. |
I
feel like a lot of people are overhyping KH. I can only see Sora pull
something off, and I feel like most people hate Sora anyway. How paralyzingly dull, boring and tedious! |
BetrayedTangy posted... I'm pretty curious on how a Cuphead vs Spyro match would play out. I think it would at least be close. Spyro would win. While this site does have a fair share of PC games its dominated by Nintendo and somewhat Sony and cuphead is a Microsoft exclusive sadly The hands of god, decrepit and thin, Cold caress and then nothing |
Not exclusive enough to stay off Steam. Cuphead's great. I'd probably bet on Spyro in a match, but Cuphead wouldn't be blown out. Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! https://imgur.com/Dr4NAeq |
