very true |
Hopefully we can keep it to one this time. Character Battle X Current Score: 28/32 Final Fantasy is dead. Long live Final Fantasy. |
This has no mentions of captain toad though |

I expect Aerith to have dropped, but not so much -- we might actually have Waluigi > Wario here now. Gross. Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! https://imgur.com/Dr4NAeq |
HaRRicH posted... I expect Aerith to have dropped, but not so much -- we might actually have Waluigi > Wario here now. Waluigi > Wario is certain, ever since the meme happened. It might not win Waluigi this match, but he's definitely a capable midcarder now. Agent Triple Zero at your service!

Waluigi
> Wario, huh? I thought Wario was still the stronger one, but only
marginally... I guess that's wrong. Do you think Waluigi would beat
Princess Peach? Or Meta-Knight? "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 Owner of FF9 posted... Hopefully we can keep it to one this time. I'm ok with anyone making these if the title is right. In that case make the next 800 topics for all I care. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |
Haste_2 posted... Waluigi > Wario, huh? I thought Wario was still the stronger one, but only marginally... I guess that's wrong. Do you think Waluigi would beat Princess Peach? Or Meta-Knight? Waluigi got stronger from not being in Smash than most characters would get from actually being in the game. Right now I would bite on both of those. Once Smash comes out and everyone forgets about the craze, he's back to being low-tier Nintendo fodder. Agent Triple Zero at your service!

Waluigi > Wario was kind of obvious just because Waluigi is so jokey and memey and Wario is just...Wario. |
i like big stinky garlic man and his wacky games that have way better characters in them Curator of the Character Battle X Archive https://bit.ly/2yYUo0A |
Waluigi is strong because of ProtonJon. "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
ProtonJon has nothing on Smash Bros Streisand Effecting Waluigi. "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima BKSheikah won Guru, but you know that. |

Is it just me or do people just stop caring about certain characters getting in Smash once they actually get in Warning: I'm literally VeryInsane. |
Bump. We'll need this soon. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |
VeryInsane posted... Is it just me or do people just stop caring about certain characters getting in Smash once they actually get in I thought this would be the case with Ridley but it seems that it was not so |
Really wanted Hat Kid to win, though it's understandable that more people are familiar with Squall. I'm also not surprised that Rosalina is doing well, but I still expect Geralt to take it. Never stop |

Holy crap at today. As someone who took Sans to win the eight-pack, this looks to be my worst decision if the bracket -- whoops! I was counting on 2015's contest introducing GameFAQs to Undertale and the heartfelt joy of its characters affecting more people in ways like what we saw at its first GDQ marathon. The rally never crossed my mind as likely -- this was just a fail. Was Pac-Man announced for SSB4 yet during 2013's contest? Only thing I got besides Sans sucking. Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! https://imgur.com/Dr4NAeq |
Pretty sure Mega Man was the only third party character who had been announced by CBIX. |
Okay,
so that probably helped...but even ignoring that SSB4 boost, we're
looking at Cuphead beating Sans as bad as Dante beats Pac-Man. It's still hard for me to consider Cuphead winning against Sans. Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! https://imgur.com/Dr4NAeq |
Pre-smash
Bayonetta probably gets pretty close to beating Riku. Riku looked bad
against Charizard in 2013 and I think people opinion on Charizard has
come down since then making Riku look worse. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
Smash lets otherwise weak characters do very well! I mean that's why it's good |
LeonhartFour posted... Smash lets otherwise weak characters do very well! This. I like Pokemon up until gen 2 (everything after that is just the law of diminishing returns), so I’m ok with it doing well.

LeonhartFour posted... Smash lets otherwise weak characters do very well! I wouldn’t have such an issue with it if it was on another site probably. Here it just makes things even more boring. Garrus vs Ramza has been the only entertaining match so far somehow out of all the possibilities. |
I mean you've repeatedly demonstrated that you don't enjoy these contests anyway so whatever |
Pretty much. The voter base is way too stagnant and there’s a reason why new people make fun of the contests |
I
don't really care if new people make fun of the contests or this site's
tastes, and I'm not concerned with pleasing someone who can't be
pleased either. |
swordz9 posted... there’s a reason why new people make fun of the contests Probably to be hipsters No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! (edited 10/28/2018 10:26:44 PM) |
Hayabusa/Belmont is now closer than Geralt/Rosalina come on Hayabusa let's pick up the pace on this non-comeback |
If trends exist at all Hayabusa could come back The X-Box day vote was king after all! No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Ryu will succeed where Halo failed and come back against Castlevania "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
swordz9 posted... Smash lets otherwise weak characters do very well! Bayo pre-Smash would probably not even come close to winning this match at all Smash definitely has helped Bayonetta, but her series making the jump to Nintendo consoles is another major factor to consider. Bayonetta 1 and 2 were both ported to Wii U and Switch, and Bayonetta 3 will be a future Switch game. Bayonetta's performance here looks like someone who is a mid to high midcarder. The first Bayonetta game was released in 2009 in Japan, but the US release date was in early 2010. Going by the US release date, Bayonetta is currently the strongest character introduced in the 2010s. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
Janus5k posted... Ryu will succeed where Halo failed and come back against Castlevania Time for the 10,000 vote swing |
Ryu Hayabusa getting a 10,000 vote swing means he was rallied and will win the contest Suffice to say I am fully on board with this plan No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
there are certainly worse fates we could suffer |
First reaction to the matches- Geralt sucks so much. Yes, some people assumed he would lose. Yes, Rosalina is Nintendo and from the damn series. And yes, Geralt is a western character But even then, I expected him to be more impressive Simon over Ryu was expected. Who the f*** even cares about Ninja Gaiden? And Ryu H in particular? people underestimate Smash Boost. My chickening out from Shulk>Sub Zero is looking worse and worse every day Bayonetta-Riku is a boring match and boring result Now for Sans - Pac Man.. This is the single most surprising result of thr contest to me so far Yes, I was wrong many times, but they were all close matches/gamble/debateable before the contest Everyone picked Pac Man to win, I did not Why? because it's f***ing Pac Man and who cares about him? Now Undertale might not be very popular on GaneFAQs but I assumed that after it's victory people would want to try it I know I did I know I picked Sans And hell, even if I feared Sans would lose, I thought it would be something like 55-45 or 60-40 Pac Man putting the beatdown is totally uncalled for 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
Ugh this is the first time I'm losing more than 1 point on a bad pick. Got Ryu H and Riku going to Round 3 LOL |
Nanis23 posted... Pac Man putting the beatdown is totally uncalled for I feel like it was very called for after 2015 so cathartic also who else would benefit more from the Pac-Man Apathy Factor than Pac-Man himself? |
Every time people say "who cares about Pac-Man" I find myself caring about Pac-Man more. Maybe if we just say it enough passion for Pac-Man will spread. Pac-Man deserves better No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Who really cares about Pac-man though? Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
HaRRicH posted... Holy crap at today. You know with all that in mind, people would vote against him for that very reason. Nevermind the stigma against the game or the fanbase already - or both, because of the latter - and everything it stands for. As if people actually like Pac-Man (and I say this as advocate of Pac-Man, people were vehemently against the idea of him getting in, and not just on Gamefaqs). They're only voting AGAINST Sans, not for his opponent. Never stop |
KamikazePotato posted... Who really cares about Pac-man though? Who DOESN'T care about Pac-Man? Who could actually hate the dude? By the way do you think Geralt is stronger than Dragonborn even after today? Because I still think there's an obvious comp here with Dragonborn being stronger.

Ryu
Hayabusa has cut 138 votes the past two hours. Based on those last two
hours, Ryu Hayabusa takes the lead at 1:40pm ET and goes on to win by
442 votes. |

Simon's doing about 2% better in the US than he is overall, so I expect that Ryu will stop cutting in a few hours. Congrats to BKSheikah for winning the BYIG Guru Challenge! |
