Chrono
Trigger looked great in 2015 but you don't just go from a low point in
2013 to a high point only two years later for no reason. Most likely,
the distance between CT characters and the game itself has increased. If all else fails use fire. |
i picked vincent but thought about that match for like two seconds i'll pick any excuse not to pick magus. he can still win. Born to lose, live to win! |
To be fair, we have no idea how strong/weak Magus is in 2013. CBX - Today's Winners: 2B, Ness, Charizard, Bowser Score: 18/24 |
LeonhartFour posted... cyko posted...Did anyone honestly think he would double Terra? Huh. You're right. I thought I was hedging a bit high when I changed my pick from 56% to 59%. But it looks like most people went 62-67%. Yay - BkSheikah is the guru champion of awesomeness. |

Most likely, the distance between CT characters and the game itself has increased. Yeah, this has been bothering a lot of us. Did the gap between the game and its characters increase, or did CT by some chance just happen to increase a bunch between 2013 and 2015? Not to mention the three years after that, meaning it's possible that CT as a game could have dropped in popularity again. "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." |
charmander6000 posted... To be fair, we have no idea how strong/weak Magus is in 2013. I think only 58.5% on Otacon and 72% on Jade is enough to tell us the answer which is "still weak enough to lose to a bag of sand" |
oh hey a favorite Playstation poll this should be fun because I think we've never had one before |
LeonhartFour posted... yeah I think you should probably take Kefka out of that trademarked group Master Chief is presumably so weak now that I don't think he'll ever be placed in a match that we think could be a close one before it actually begins. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
I
think Crono did fine in 2013, when stuff like Pikachu and Squirtle were
stronger than half of the N9. Don't know what generally people believe
but if it were a 1v1 I'd think Crono could have beaten Pikachu in 2013. Fabiano > Magnus |
LusterSoldier posted... LeonhartFour posted...yeah I think you should probably take Kefka out of that trademarked group I mean he is fighting Drake/Tails this contest. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
LusterSoldier posted... Master Chief is presumably so weak now that I don't think he'll ever be placed in a match that we think could be a close one before it actually begins. You underestimate Master Chief. He loses matches people think won't be close to begin with. |
It's worth pointing out that even... *picks random fodder character* Dunban is projected to beat Tanner with 84% of the vote. If Cayde-6 is anywhere near Tanner (and that seems plausible), 2B's 79.5% is not meaningful. "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima BKSheikah won Guru, but you know that. |
LeonhartFour posted... cyko posted...Did anyone honestly think he would double Terra? Yup, the spread for today was Charizard with 61% and a lot of people bet on him to cover </plug> Although that's not actually doubling but whatever it's too late to go back now MZero, to the extreme "2017 Guru champ BKSheikah is racist against cute Pokemon." - Luster (edited 10/24/2018 9:08:22 PM) |
Well, I don't think Cayde-6 will be quite Tanner level because I don't think 2B is Dunban level but yeah it certainly says nothing about 2B's chances against Ness |
Crono
did pretty well against Mario in the 2013 bonus match, so it's possible
he didn't lose much, but then again, Mario's contest strength was
called into question that year, too, so who knows? And Crono was stuck
behind MissingNo. in 2010, so we haven't had a good read on Crono in a
LONG time.... "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." |
If nothing else Cayde-6 certainly looks cooler than Tanner Congrats to BKSheikah for winning the BYIG Guru Challenge! |
If
Tanner was in the same poll as Chester/Spring Breeze/Caim, I wouldn't
be surprised if Tanner would have done even worse than Chester.
(granted, Tanner would have weakened, since his game, Driv3r was it?, is
nearly forgotten now) I bet on Terra to cover the spread against Charizard, but I also predicted Shadow to get at least 48%.... whoops. "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." (edited 10/24/2018 9:15:22 PM) |
Tanner and Chester occupy a special level of awful in the X-Stats. Guybrush finished 63rd in 2004. Projected to score 82% on Tanner. Cayde-6 probably isn't quite THAT bad. Under 80% still isn't a great result for 2B though if she wants to beat Ness. |
oh hey that was a sizable cut for Terra just now might be a false alarm though because Charizard dropped way off that update |
The
one thing to remember about Tanner is that on top of being legitimately
one of the weakest characters ever to grace a poll, he was still
probably SFFed by Snake. Both were action protagonists that were
primarily associated with the Playstation, so I think that's why he
ended up being so astronomically weak, as opposed to being slightly
below the next weakest piece of fodder. Since then, the only thing that
has approached that level is Chester which was something only B8 even
knew about. It may be impossible for even something like Cayde-6 to rank among him without either having some serious overlap with 2B like Tanner probably did. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2018 Guru Contest winner. |
Yeah, Solid Snake was the perfect opponent to make Tanner look as bad as possible. oh hey another cut let's hope for three! |
That's two straight cuts. Maybe Terra can get this close overnight, but I can't see Charizard losing the Day Vote here. Used to be TheOneAboveAll. Forgot my password and had no way to recover it. |
Pikachu and Red were way worse with the day vote than they were with the early part of the match! Of course, so was Kefka, so it might cancel out. |
Three's a trend! although the last two were pretty minor cuts |

Huh,
I just looked at the Geolocation results. Terra's actually winning
outright in Canada. That's kinda surprising. They're usually more
hardcore Nintendo than even the U.S. is. |

FOUR straight Terra cuts. Sound the alarm! "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima BKSheikah won Guru, but you know that. |
Terra won the last 30 minutes by 6 votes. "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." |

The Euro vote should bail out Charizard if it comes to it, I would think. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2018 Guru Contest winner. |
I don't remember Chief's round 1, but he can absolutely lose it. |
pjbasis posted... I don't remember Chief's round 1, but he can absolutely lose it. He's against Goro Majima, whatever that is. I think he's safe, but I'm sure he'll embarrass himself anyway. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2018 Guru Contest winner. |
I
believe Majima is a rival/deuteragonist? from Yakuza. He'll presumably
be weaker than Kiryu, so he's gonna get wrecked. Even by Master Choke. I can't believe I lost the Best Year In Gaming guru contest to some guy named BKSheikah |
shockingly Charizard gets a massive update whenever it looks like Terra is starting to make a move |
could
the female final fantasy characters be getting a reduced de-boost? i
forget who has been saying it but i fully believe in Tifa having some
form of crush factor that at least heavily reduces her drop off. also for Chrono Trigger it got released on Steam this year. i thought it had been before that but i guess not. could still be reliant? "L-Block 2007 Character Battle Champion"Always remember "L-Block, shaped like a boot to kick your ass" |
LeonhartFour posted... shockingly Charizard gets a massive update whenever it looks like Terra is starting to make a move I use a popular VPN service sometimes (access some Australian betting sites from my current home in the UK) and when I want to the GameFAQs homepage I noticed that votes from the VPN IP had already been registered. I tried two more and one of the two also was already registered as having voted. By chance they could both be legit, but as there is only about 1k users per VPN it seems highly likely there is vote stuffing going on. |
im317 posted... also for Chrono Trigger it got released on Steam this year. i thought it had been before that but i guess not. could still be reliant? Honestly, the saga surrounding the Chrono Trigger Steam release would probably hurt it before it could actually help. It's playable now that Square patched the s*** out of it (and took like six months to do so), but oh boy did they mail in the original version. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2018 Guru Contest winner. |
Depending
on how close this match ends up being, I wonder if this could be the
first match where we have a split between who won with registered and
non-registered voters. |
That's a dope pic of the Zard. Good on Terra for not completely folding like most things Final Fantasy have so far. 21/24 pts - The Great GameFAQs Character Battle X contest! NP: 2B/Ness/Charizard/Bowser |
Rank the FF characters in the contest thus far by strength (heck let's throw in Sora for good measure): Lightning Vivi Tidus Zidane Noctis Cecil Sora Yuna Kefka Terra |
Haste vs Leon make a life bet on the Magus/Vincent match!!! https://i.imgtc.com/8vhMvDD.png Loser... eats some dog poop and posts a video of them doing it? GJ BK_Sheikah |
Vivi Kefka Sora Yuna Terra Tidus Lightning Zidane Noctis Cecil That's my guess. No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

Vivi Sora Kefka Terra Yuna Tidus Zidane Cecil Lightning Noctis PaulG235 | "But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant." This line is currently being vacanted by supreme Guru BKSheikah |
We should just do an all Final Fantasy contest. 64 characters |
For some reason I thought Chloe Price was the girl from The Last of Us Lol |
