I don’t understand how FF6 has all this strength when FF7 got so infamously PokeFEARed.

Mewtwo is officially on notice.

No Pokemon is safe. Well. Except for Pikachu. He looked pretty safe.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
If Bowser gets a Bowsette picture he's taking down Link.

Mewtwo is the one with the big question marks for sure, because his path could end next round if he's a complete fraud, but if CBIX Mewtwo was legit, he could go all the way to Sephiorth to prove it.

Charizard bombing should be have been clear from CBIX when he couldn't get the job done while Mewtwo, Squirtle, and Pikachu were.

It's the most Nintendo-associated FF. It is also on the SNES Classic which doubled its owners.

Would Neku beat Gordon now?


I would have taken it in my bracket for the record. Gordon is so far beyond irrelevant and he's not a character with a timeless design or personality or anything. I wouldn't be surprised if he was a bottom 10 guy in the bracket now.
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!
http://thengamer.com/xstats/?name1=Pac-Man&year1=2004c&name2=Tanner&year2=2004c

So even if Cayde-6 is Tanner level in strength, there's still room for 2B to fall below the fodder line based on this performance. Pac-Man has been suggested as a fodder line in these contests, which is why I did the Pac-Man/Tanner comparison.

Maybe it has more to do with Gordon just being weak now

Given Kefka's board vote, I wouldn't count out Terra beating Pokemon with hers.

Yeah, I think bracket voting is minimal here since Char is the overwhelming favorite, so I think this should be consistent with Terra taking a huge board vote like Kefka did and dying off here.

Next update could be crucial.


COME ON CHARIZARD!!!!!!! Use flamethrower


Flamethrower? Use freakin' Fire Blast! (Yes, it has a 70% chance of hitting, but still...!)
Here lies the sig of BK_Sheikah00, who swore fealty to the Gurus of Board 8.
Big fat Terra cut right there.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

I really like Phoenix > Ike right now but yeah Yuna > Alucard looks long.
No problem!

I think if nothing else, Phoenix's board vote in this format is going to be so absurd that it's going to put Ike pretty far in the hole. If Ike wins it will be the first legitimate lead change victory due to that.

Real question is Ness vs. 2B. I'm honestly not sure who's doing better here.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
I would confidently take Shadow to break 80% on Cayde-6, so I'd go with the guy who is beating Shadow.

To be fair, this board loves Ike. I will be voting Ike and have Phoenix in my now pretty terrible bracket.

My GLaDOS-upset was looking excellent for a second when I saw Charizard's performance...and then I saw Gordon Freeman's.

Holy crap.

I'm confident GLaDOS holds up better than Gordon, but she couldn't afford much of any drop when I took that pick either. Fearing the worst now.....

I mean, Destiny in 2015 wasn't quite Tanner level, but it did pretty bad and how many f***s do you think they give about some character in the game looking like a Star Wars drone reject?

How well you regard 2B here is pretty much how much credit you want to give Cayde-6.

Ness is pulling away much faster than Charizard, hilariously enough.
This is a reminder that you guys could have gotten CATS this match.

You could have had CATS vs. Cayde-6.

RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :(
Looks like Ness lost the early vote by a lot to Shadow. Didn't know the contest regs had embraced their inner angsty 13-year old to such a degree.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
Looking at the stats from the last match, Kiryu vs. Bomberman was the closest in predictions, while the casuals weren't fooled by the block. I told you that Kiryu would get some bracket respect with his two seed.

GlaDOS will hold up better than Gordon no doubt, but make no mistake, this result is in large part due to Valve abandoning their franchises. The Portal brand is Valve's most alive series (that isn't Dota) but it's still been effectively abandoned other than a Bridge Constructor game and part of a VR demo.

Oh I agree, but I think there is a Valve-wide drop that has hurt Half-Life by far the most.

On that topic, what's the biggest legit drop between contests? This has to be it right? Other than this?
