Sora never blows out fodder as badly as he should. He's almost like FFVII in that regard.
lol sora
If I only consulted the Gossip Stones like BKSheikah, instead of listening to Tingle, maybe I could have been the 2017 Guru Champ!

The Cecil thing is really puzzling. How is that consistent with the other trends so far in the contest?

Cecil is OLD SQUARE. He's a protagonist from an INFLUENTIAL SNES game.

Shouldn't Crash, a meaningless PS1 platformer icon, be the epitome of "out of fashion" on GFAQs?

Is this contest just going to be: people vote for the cute character with fur?

I mean Cecil has always kinda sucked

that 48% on Knux just fooled people

Maybe remake trilogy boosted him? And FF just s***ting all of the beds so far

Crash did return to relevance with the remastered trilogy. It even came out on Switch. He's practically a Nintendo character now.

Could you imagine the day before his match against Big Boss - "Crash Bandicoot announced for Smash Ultimate!"
Yay - BkSheikah is the guru champion of awesomeness.

who knows. GameFAQs just hates FF now. Or the double vote. also games and characters are different, old FF games would probably be looking better if this was a games contest.

I've never, ever seen a contest with an entrant taking an early lead, switching to the opponent's, and switching back to the leader.

Is this what feels like to be in GameFAQs 10 years ago?

I still have faith in Squall. I mean he’s way above the likes of Cecil, Zidane, Lightning and Tidus contest strength wise. If he flops oh god has FF fallen and/or the double boost just made Nintendo too strong without rallies

This division is Red's to lose. I say this as someone who'd vote for just about anyone in the bracket over Red.

This does not bode well for my bracket, as I have Big Boss winning this division, but at least I can take solace in Crash > Cecil for now.
Now crack that combination:
27 99 23.

I had been thinking it was just down to the characters in question/their match-ups, but losing to Crash seals it.

I am dumb and will get what I deserve for picking Squall>Zelda.

I would think it would have the opposite effect. "Remember Crash? Yeah, turns out his games are still terrible."

I still think Sora > Red

The only thing Neptune has going for her is being any anime girl, which does great against unknown characters, but she has doesn't have that advantage against Red. Shenmue at least has a really hardcore fanbase and an alternate option to people who hate KH

Well, there's a stall for Cecil, so maybe that's something. All the other FF guys got an early stall though and it ultimately didn't matter.

Ryu H has about two-thirds of the picks in the guru as of now. He's an even bigger favorite in the BOP.

You guys are really overreacting though - any decent character do this to Neptune, Sora was never before able to truly fodder and Cecil has always been terrible in these things. So has Zidane btw. Vivi looked as good as ever, why are we ignoring that.

Because Vivi has Nintendo connections. People look at him and see “black mage”.

I’m legit impressed Neptune is keeping this below 80%. If she does this the whole match I think that’s impressive because virtually nobody knows her or cares and she’s up against the main of RBY who also has Smash factor
Yeah, I'm still willing to give more credit to Knuckles than blame to Zidane for that match.

Keep in mind that Crash is beating Cecil harder than Knux beat him right now.

I have been thinking Old Square had the chance to be on the rise with this site becoming insular, and Kefka is the character who would benefit the most, but I guess Nintendo seems to be the entity that's really benefiting from it and both new and old Square seem to be sucking.
