Wow... Sora is really sucking in this match. I'm guessing he's doomed next round. I should have gone with my original "Red wins the division" pick, argh. Then again, it's hard to say if Red is really doing that well, considering how weak Neptune is. I suppose it's not a foregone conclusion.

RIdley is certainly flexing his Smash Bros. hype muscle. I'm starting to sweat a little about Simon vs. Hayabusa. It's only a matter of time before Ridley makes a cut.

I’m loving this world where Lightning is one of the few FF characters going to R2. If she somehow beats Dante I expect so many brackets to be busted because he’s gotta be the favorite of that match

Less powerful since Waluigi's thing is being the smash snub.

Knuckles deserves the credit for that match!

But anyone looking at it and talking about a FF deboost should remember Zidane was always bad in these contests.

Well that hadn't happened five years ago.
Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to BKSheikah, the winner of the Best Year in Gaming contest.
On the other hand, Simon Belmont to the division finals isn't looking like a bad upset after all. It's Bayonetta that scares me, but I still trust an old school character in Smash vs. a new school character in Smash, especially if people hold grudges over her being broken in the game.

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 mean it's possible SE has just burnt too many bridges with people in the last 10 years or so. Only new FF games people weren't super keen on and then they just kept doing rereleases of older FF games. So their good will with a lot of people is likely in tatters with the FF franchise

It's weird to see Pokemon just straight up lose the day vote, but the earlier start time might be diluting some of its daytime power.

Kratos is still terrible at the beginnings of matches. He does way better once he gets past the first hour.

That and it’s been ages since the last console KH game too. A lot of people might’ve been burned on those spinoff games and KH has always had haters anyways. I think Sora looks fine, but I took Red to win that division without hesitating.

Damn the board vote hated Nep. At least she recovered a bit now.


Well, at least the match confirms that's possible for a game series to be too niche for even the site's most popular genre (JRPGs). Although Neptune was also going up against a character from another JRPG series.

A new, universally beloved game winning over a tired old favorite, and a proxy for the biggest game in the world stomping everything into the dirt is just fine by me. It's how things should work, in any other site that cycles users consistently. We have many examples of this.

so I have a theory that majority of the registered users these days are the Nintendo fans and the Final Fantasy/MGS, etc fans are the ones who come often but dont have a registered account

So double voting is making Nintendo characters perform even better than usual

That sounds awfully ageist to me. What's wrong with sites made up of an older population? Do only young people matter to you?
