Happy for Velvet, even if it takes an obviously worthless opponent who is crippled by the name/pic format to win.

getting destroyed by "velvet crowe' a Tales character that isn't from Symphonia or Vesperia? damn

I would put Velvet around Yuri Lowell's level, although not Lloyd's.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
this is good news for final fantasy at least

master hand crushing noctis and tidus getting laughed at by dk wasn't final fantasy falling off the face of the earth

bad news for final fantasy is that everything Nintendo has boosted like 10%

Quite a few people here loved Berseria and there was a rally for her. I wouldn’t be surprised if she has the board vote over James given how much our board loves JRPGs
oh good the board vote favored scorpion over pikachu

Does Velvet have a board vote? I've always associated Tales with board 8 but I dont know if it's any more true among us compared to the site as a whole...


She'll have the board vote because of brackets.

Scorpion won the board vote, huh.

For whatever it’s worth I voted Shantae despite never having played her games. I like her design at least and have heard of the series though I’m not sure if they’re all on one device to play or not
still not on the leaderboard

I thought there was a chance there would be less than 50 perfects left

Man, feeling for James here. He looks like hot garbage in that picture. Silent Hill 2 is one of my favorite games and I barely recognized the dude, especially without his last name. Being an everyman is obviously a deliberate part of his design but damn. Not that he would ever beat Velvet but this much of an embarrassing performance? Oof.

There goes my bracket. Sora is getting dismantled by Red, and I doubt the Nintendo SFF will be favoring Yoshi or Bowser.

Seriously, this is a scary result. It's the kind of beating a mid-tier Noble 9er MIGHT put on Scorpion in the old days.
The pic isn't great but not having 'Sunderland' is the bigger issues. Basically no one calls him just James when talking about him (outside of the game, I mean).

Fun anecdote:

Pikachu (2013c) has a strength of 39.97 against Base Link.
Scorpion (2013c) has a strength of 28.71 against Base Link.
Pikachu64.09%
Scorpion35.91%
Pikachu wins with 64.09% of the vote!

Also, speaking of name/pic stuff: I showed the bracket to a friend of mine who is a Persona fan. He only didn't recognize two people in the bracket by name: Cayde-6 and Ren Amamiya.

That makes sense. He isn’t called Ren in the game after all. If I wasn’t aware of the anime I wouldn’t know it was him either. Hopefully he just shows up as Joker in the poll since his pic is already confirmed bad

Upset over who? Kratos needs to get through Pikachu to get at Yoshi. Pikachu looks great so Kratos isn't getting there. Pikachu is also the favourite to beat Yoshi so a weak Yoshi performance doesn't mean much.

Still hoping.

I wish I took Pokemon stuff further. I took some to R3 when I probably could’ve taken them to division winner. I took Zero > Pika, but I’m sorta nervous about it. Also took X > Mewtwo because I don’t know why. I did take Red going far though. Like all the way up to Link > Red in Battle 141 so hopefully that pays off >_>

yeah "Ren" is a pretty recent invention even, before the anime the fandom used Akira Kurusu (from a manga or smth) as the default name

eh. I think this is more Mortal Kombat being irrelevant in 2018 then Pikachu being a beast. Kratos is the real guy surprising me this round because theres only so weak Marston can be, especially with RDR2 hype.

Mortal Kombat isn't really any less relevant now than during any of Scorpion's previous matches. It's already accounted for in Scorpion's strength.
