I hope Geralt ends up making it to the divisional finals never getting more than 56%


we'd call that "pulling a Super Mario RPG" but Chrono Cross ruined it by letting SMRPG break 60%
I hope Ren both has Joker has his name and gets a special match pic change to his Phantom Thief so more people can get livid over a 1 point match

I thought that Simon's redesign would help a lot but also figured that Hayabusa wasn't big enough of a fraud to lose anyway. Whoops!
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
Honestly, I took Claire with the expectation that Ren would get a better picture and be called Joker. She's not that weak.
CBX - Today's Winners: Geralt, Simon Belmont, Pac-Man, Bayonetta
Score: 32/40
this has been a good contest for weak 2002 characters so Claire's probably got this

I came back from work and I checked the results.

Geralt wins but worse than I expected. Hope next round someone manages to get a rally for him.
I had Ruy winning but I should have picked Simon. He is the iconic Castlevania protagonist and there was a Netflix series too about Castlevania right?
Sans losing this much? I was expecting him to lose but his much? Damn!
Riku is doing that bad. KH 3 boost where?
So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?
Honestly, the character I'm most surprised by today is Riku. I was feeling less confident in him as time went on but man does he look like total garbage today.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
Two decent cuts in a row for Hayabusa, and now he's nearly at 49% and the lead is almost under 500.

Three's a trend...!

n_n
Well Hayabusa is making ok progress here. Enough to possibly make this exciting if he keeps it up
Safer_777 10/29/2018 9:44:23 AM#111
Don't people check the map? Simon wins with more than 53% in USA. And most votes come from USA.

yep, don't mind, I've already won one and I'm rich, it's not like I need 1k for video games - UltimaterializerX
Well that's 3 cuts in a row
He needs like just under 6 an update right? Lead is going to be too big as I'm sure some stalls get thrown in there

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.


s***, I totally forgot Pac-Man was in Smash. This result finally makes sense

Goddamn this site and its rabid Smash fanboyism. Does this mean Cloud is going to beat Link?

It really is a shame how far these have fallen. Perhaps we really should just lay them to rest once Link wins again. None of the rallies people were worried about even took off, and with these terrible votals it wouldn't have taken much for, say, Monika to take the whole thing.
Let's give it everything we've got! IT'S.... PUNISHMENT TIME!!!!

I'd rather have the voting bar was visible on all of gamefaqs or that Link was simply removed from the bracket.

Safer_777 10/29/2018 10:18:53 AM#131
@LeonhartFour True things change. But not when this match has gone on for 17 hours. We are talking about Simon to go around 50% in USA since he loses in most other places. Can this be done in a few hours without rallies with such low vote totals? Don't think so.
So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Nah, people are just voting against Sans, rather than voting for Pac-Man.

have there been any discord rallies? dont some of the games represented have decent sized servers? i mean were talking 1000 votes changing the outcome on close matches. im in a server with ~100 online right now plus 500 offline. and that isn't even a server that i would expect to get that many users.
