ZenOfThunder posted... xenoblade has been around for long enough that people have actually played it by now The issue is that Xenoblade's re-release was on a very specific version of a 3DS that not mayn people have ISFJ Big on Visual Novels, Anime, Video games.

Wow, October 3rd. Good on ExTha. It didn't even occur to me until after Pac-Man, Rosalina and Shulk impressing. I'm really really curious what this does for Cloud's strength. FF7 has declined, but him being in Smash may have boosted him considerably (though whether it makes as big a difference as it did for Snake remains to be seen). BKSheikah, my hat is off to you. Welcome to the Guru Champions Club lol xstats |
Heck Xenoblade is from the same series as Xenosaga. Whose most popular character has been a midcarder since ever. So calling it flavor of the month is a bit silly. |
HaRRicH posted... Vincent was always overrated within FF7, but gotta give credit where credit is due: he's its best optional character. Yuffie <3. She is the most underrated FF7 character, and best optional character. Dilated Chemist |

I
feel like Yuffie might actually be stronger than Vincent now. Looking
like a character that hasn't stood the test of time while I feel Yuffie
probably would. No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
so is Alucard the strongest vampire now [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO BKSheikah NO PEACE] |
XIII_rocks posted... Jesus christ, are you still making the same post after 15 years? I laughed out loud at this, holy s***. Now crack that combination: 27 99 23. |
What is this post? Guess I missed that. So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |
Safer_777 posted... What is this post? Guess I missed that. Do you have BT on ignore? |
didn't Xenoblade Chronicles get a release on the Wii U virtual console? then again lol Wii U (and i own one) "L-Block 2007 Character Battle Champion"Always remember "L-Block, shaped like a boot to kick your ass" |
Yeah, I own it on Wii U (lol wii u) You felt your sins weighing down on your neck. |
HaRRicH posted... Ya know...using Vincent/Magus, Magus/Ganondorf 2003, and Vincent/Ganondorf 2006, today's match looks pretty normal! zomg magus was never a fraud i want my money back "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." |
So
now that both Simon and Claire each have won a match, which characters
have been in 4 or more character battles but never won a match? I know
we got Cats and Cecil, but are there any others left? Kratos Aurion? Edit: I forgot Guybrush, but that's because the voters votes like cows. Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. DpOblivion > Me (edited 10/30/2018 1:14:50 PM) |

Counterpoint https://imgtc.com/i/4CZw7Jh.png I would've voted Claire if she got that. Never actually seen a cute Claire before. No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

Characters which have appeared in 4 or more contests and have not won (or advanced) Banjo CATS Cecil Geno Guybrush Jak Kratos Aurion Miles Edgeworth Neku Ramza Ridley Sarah Kerrigan Tom Nook Wander CBX - Today's Winners: Auron, Magus, Sub-Zero, Claire Score: 36/44 (edited 10/30/2018 1:46:18 PM) |
Match XLIX: (1) Luigi vs. (16) Miles Edgeworth Previous Contest Performance Luigi - 2013 Round 1: 64.69% against Balthier Bunansa (23.07%) and Jade (12.24%) Round 2: 42.77% against Big Boss (43.63%) and Ness (13.60%) Miles Edgeworth - 2013 Round 1: 28.18% against Morrigan Aensland (48.19%) and Agent 47 (23.63%) Analysis There are quite a few characters that could win this division and Luigi gets first crack to show off what he’s made of. Luigi was screwed by LFF during the last contest, ruining his Year of Luigi hype. Still with the way things have gone in this contest I would give Luigi a good chance at winning the division. Edgeworth managed to look relatively respectable in 2013 and while he’s still fodder he may not be as horrible as before. Phoenix Wright was able to perform at around expected so I don’t expect much of a drop for Edgeworth. However, Luigi should be pushing for one of the largest blowouts of the contest here. charmander6000’s Bracket: Luigi > Miles Edgeworth charmander6000’s Prediction: Luigi wins, 76.38% - 23.62% Match L: (8) Frog vs. (9) Monokuma Previous Contest Performance Frog - 2013 Round 1: 50.15% against Viewtiful Joe (25.65%) and Handsome Jack (24.20%) Round 2: 27.74% against Cloud Strife (49.47%) and Lugia (22.79%) Monokuma - N/A N/A Analysis Monokuma has fallen under the board’s radar in terms of being a rallyable character. Danganronpa was rallied during a contest hosted by the YouTube series Honest Game Trailers. Of course, those vote totals were almost ten times smaller than what we are getting here. As with Monika there may be a small push, but unless the right person rallies it will not be enough. Like the other Chrono Trigger characters Frog’s range would have been quite large, but sadly his bracket position is wasted. Unless the rally takes off Frog should have no issue at winning this match. Danganronpa has performed terribly in all polls it was featured, it’s just not a GameFAQs game. charmander6000’s Bracket: Frog > Monokuma charmander6000’s Prediction: Frog wins, 70.62% - 29.38% CBX - Today's Winners: Auron, Magus, Sub-Zero, Claire Score: 36/44 |

Match LI: (5) Master Chief vs. (12) Goro Majima Previous Contest Performance Master Chief - 2013 Round 1: 34.84% against Yuna (40.49%) and Claire Redfield (24.66%) Goro Majima - N/A N/A Analysis I don’t expect a lot out of Master Chief. In 2013, he was already underperforming and given how other western characters are performing and that Halo was utterly crushed during the 2015 games contest we are likely to see another drop. I know a lot of people are commenting on the Nintendo boost, but sometimes I feel it’s just that all the other series are getting weaker. Despite all the doom and gloom, Master Chief should win this match. Yakuza is just not popular on this site. We all saw Kiryu easily lose to Bomberman and I expect Majima to perform even worse. Master Chief may have to contend with anti-votes, though I wonder if they will be anti-votes or if Master Chief will just be that weak. charmander6000’s Bracket: Master Chief > Goro Majima charmander6000’s Prediction: Master Chief wins, 68.52% - 31.48% Match LII: (4) Nathan Drake vs. (13) Miles “Tails” Prower Previous Contest Performance Nathan Drake - 2013 Round 1: 41.80% against Pac-Man (38.80%) and Steve (19.40%) Round 2: 34.07% against Pokemon Trainer Blue (47.14%) and Mr. Game & Watch (18.79%) Miles “Tails” Prower - 2013 Round 1: 31.19% against Ezio Auditore da Firenze (45.51%) and Bomberman (23.30%) Analysis I’m quite nervous about this match. Characters similar to Nathan Drake have been flopping left and right all contest. His performance in 2013 was okay, but nothing too special and definitely not enough to be considered a heavy favourite against Tails. One theory that was mentioned a few years back was that Sonic characters underperform in multi-way polls. In 2010 they performed relatively better than in 2007 and 2008. Tails was able to get 40% against Kratos and while he is overrated in the stats due to Charizard, 40% against Kratos back then was quite impressive. The Sonic series has had a bit of a revival recently and we did see Knuckles performing well. I’m going against my bracket, but if Nathan avoids dropping in strength he could still win this. charmander6000’s Bracket: Nathan Drake > Miles “Tails” Prower charmander6000’s Prediction: Miles “Tails” Prower wins, 52.07% - 47.93% CBX - Today's Winners: Auron, Magus, Sub-Zero, Claire Score: 36/44 |
So here I am, thinking "how boring today matches are" And then I realized I forgot to read the stats topic when the round began and..what the f*** Just..what was going on in the first two hours? how is this even possible that Magus and Joker were so strong then just fell apart and never recovered? 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
Persona
seems very frontloaded. Look at the trends on Vivi vs. Narukami. I
remember Persona 3/Dragon Quest VIII in 2015 started out close too but
ended around 55-45. CT is relatively weak in Europe and FFVII is strong so Magus was pretty much screwed when he never built any kind of lead at the beginning and was probably already behind before they started voting in notable numbers. I think people were expecting him to collapse much harder than this after he was behind during the board vote; seems a lot of people bracket-voted Vincent. [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO BKSheikah NO PEACE] |
Magus was never up by that much and hasn't fallen that far. Joker has the more substantial drop "L-Block 2007 Character Battle Champion"Always remember "L-Block, shaped like a boot to kick your ass" |

I know we got Cats and Cecil, but are there any others left? Kratos Aurion? Geno, Jak, Kerrigan, Neku, Wander, Tom Nook, and Banjo are the other ones that are on the list regardless of whether or not you count Rivalry Rumble. If you do count Rivalry Rumble as a character battle, Conker and Professor Layton are also on the list. If you don't count Rivalry Rumble as a character battle, then Miles Edgeworth and Ridley are on the list. Assuming Edgeworth loses to Luigi, both characters will be 0-5. Only one other character whose only win(s) came during Rivalry Rumble is even 0-2: Waluigi. Three others are 0-1, with seven who are 0-0; one of these seven has an opportunity to pick up a win this year, but was chosen to do so by only 1 out of every 32 Gurus. "Someday I'll catch up, and then you'll all be surprised!" BKSheikah has the power. He is the one. (edited 10/30/2018 2:14:02 PM) |
Sad
to see c haracters that have taken part in 5 contests and never had a
win! We should make the bracket next time so all these characters get at
least a win! So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |
I'm worried Tails is gonna win the power hour but then gradually lose as unregistered voters favor Nathan Drake. |

A bit late on this. 21 people fell off the Top 50. BetrayedTangy, GoldSlime35, NewerShadow, Dva69, TsunamiXXVIII, Aprosenf, 8Sunshine6, firefdr, mrlitigator, TheCodeisBosco, AxemRedRanger, redrocket, Xcarvenger, BK_Sheikah00, GTM, ZeldaTPLink, LittleFinger22, aphorism, Underleveled, VegetarianKefka and transience did not have Geralt, Simon, Pac-Man and Bayonetta winning. 11 people got one wrong and largely went up in the rankings. BradyFumbled, Captain_Sorzo, Wreath, iGenesis, art_of_the_kill, lordjers, darthsidius, NeoElfboy, OFool, foxhead84 and Iamamongyou also did not have Geralt, Simon, Pac-Man and Bayonetta winning. 15 people scored half points and survived. SamusOverCloud, tennisboy213, haloiscoolisbak, Samurai7, TAFKAHurricane, MasterMoltar, Vegink, Ulti69, FlyingForever, hylianknight3, Claude_Rena, WhiteLens, PSI_NESS, scott182000 and half_silver28 only got 2 matches right. Congrats to the three people on the Top 50 who got a perfect score. Zylothewolf, Bolto4 and Polycosm had all of Geralt, Simon, Pac-Man and Bayonetta winning. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
Ok doing the math Geno has a chance to be confirmed for Smash during his match Can this pull him anywhere? Still hoping. |

You know what f***. I'd take Jade Curtis over Guybrush. |
@Nanis23
True that. Because of work and sleep I get to watch the matches after
around 15 hours that they have started. So a lot of reading on stats
topics. And I was suprised to see that both Magus and Joker were winning
for a while. Damn! So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |
Hbthebattle posted... Ok doing the math He'll probably be too far gone for it to make a difference, since he's up against a near-elite in Tifa.

Geno could have been announced for Smash at literally any point and would've still lost that match easily. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to BKSheikah, the winner of the Best Year in Gaming contest. |
the
Direct would have to end with Sakurai saying "please visit double-u
double-u double-u dot game fah-kwahs dot com and vote for Geno" and then
doing a deep bow for the Direct to have any impact on the match at all Curator of the Character Battle X Archive https://bit.ly/2yYUo0A (edited 10/30/2018 2:42:21 PM) |
