also the only Old Square things that matter are FFVI and CT

if Kefka completely flops against L-Block tomorrow (barring an L-Block rally, I guess), then I think you can start being a little concerned, even if Kefka hasn't been the most reliable thing in the world


I really hope Kefka does well tomorrow, and in subsequent rounds. Kefka inexplicably becoming Final Fantasy's saving grace would be far funnier than anything related to L-Block post-2007.

I loved 2007 as much as anyone, but c'mon guys, the L-Block joke literally predates rage comics. It's time to let it go.
Now crack that combination:

Hmm I don’t own a console BotW is on. I suppose eventually I will need a Switch, but I haven’t really seen much to sell me on one still. I’ve played like 3 console LoZs and 3 handheld ones and Midna is the only character I’ve actively cared about so far
I understand where you're coming from (well except for the Midna thing, she's whatever)

BotW is the first game that actually made me care about the Zelda franchise

Neptune is probably not the weakest in the bracket by virtue of being an Anime girl. Such characters are great at attracting anti-votes. Remember how well Mithos did against Kefka? Now, in a 4-way match, Neptune might be the weakest in the bracket.
"Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think."
Yeah, I don't think Neptune will be the weakest, but she'll probably be borderline bottom ten.
Thinking about it, I'm curious to see how Sora performs with the day vote. The KH day vote was legendary at one point, but Sora almost always got stuck in night matches when we had 12-hour matches, so it'll be interesting to see if he can go high during the day.

In terms of oddball results, Wesker outperforming Lloyd in 2005 after being in the same fourpack as Mithos in Villains a couple months earlier was hilarious. Granted, Kefka being Kefka was a big part of that, but the thought of Mithos > Lloyd is tremendous on so many levels.

It's an ownership poll, so it's slightly flawed because it doesn't include an option for Super Mario All-Stars. Though there is an option for having played the game or not, the folks who only own Super Mario All-Stars have no real option to vote for.

If the power hour compounded with the day vote causes day characters to collapse harder Cecil could maybe make a run at this.

Crash with the 1,000 vote barrier
I really overestimated Ridley's popularity... seems like wanting it in Smash wasn't such a big deal.
It was a huge deal (or at least Smash + Nintendo boost in general). Last contest Big Boss was way stronger than Ridley.
Congrats to BKSheikah for winning the BYIG Guru Challenge!
Zigzagoon 10/22/2018 11:00:35 PM#380
Yeah, Ridley just drew a s*** first match unfortunately =/
LeonhartFour 10/22/2018 11:06:26 PM#381
Yeah, Big Boss was projected to get at least 60% on Ridley based on previous stats, so this is a good net improvement (with some potential of Big Boss being weaker than before).

Also, we're about 400 votes ahead of yesterday's pace.

If yesterday's match is any indication, Red is going to start tanking percentage from here on out.

And I might be wrong about Cecil cutting overnight. Crash is dominating Cecil in the UK right now. Big Boss should start gaining nicely soon though. I know it's not necessarily a trend predictor, but still, Sony is still the champ over there, even if it means Crash over an old FF that didn't originate on the Playstation.

FFIV and FFVI are much different than the rest of Final Fantasy when it comes to the Europe vote. Both games are pretty terrible in Europe as the game wasn't originally released there. Square has since rectified the problem by eventually releasing both games in Europe, though not on the original SNES. Although Square continues treating Chrono Trigger like s*** when it comes to Europe. At this point, I believe Chrono Trigger has only gotten a European release on the DS and on the Wii as a Virtual Console release.

I wonder how many people think that they're voting for who would win in a fight and what sort of impact they're having on the polls.
If I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.
I also sort of wonder who would win this contest under that criteria. Off the top of my head...KOS-MOS?

Yeah, your first post confused me. As someone from the UK, I can tell you Crash is a big deal, and has been for a long time.

Ridley may very well have been the the strongest Nintendo character not in Smash until 5 came out, so he should be decent now I suppose.

I sure didn't expect him to do this well though.

Yeah, I don't think CATS was a huge loss either.

While I love this bracket overall, it is a bummer that there isn't a fresh joke character or two. L-Block, Master Hand and (technically) Waluigi have already had a chance to shine.
