no one rushes to GameFAQs anymore after an announcement, at least no one that isn't already here. I am Nick. Go Sens, Bills, Blue Jays! UotY 2015, You should listen to The Show w/ Ngamer and Yoblazer |
Safer_777 posted... 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! Jak would've gotten his in 2013 if the rally hadn't happened. A lot of those characters are extremely weak, though, and are unlikely to get it without extreme luck in the bracket placement. Ridley is the real odd one out there. Edgeworth, Cecil, and Ramza look like they might have a chance with a good draw, but Ridley has just had the misfortune to almost always draw something strong in Round 1. Spring 2005: 42.35% on Diablo in Round 1 as the higher seed. Diablo winds up in the Final Four, however, and Ridley finishes 10th in the X-Stats 2007: Gets in a fourway with Leon Kennedy, Vivi, and Spyro. Easily beats out Spyro but finishes third behind Leon and Vivi. 2010: Gets only enough nominations to reach vote-ins, and a surprisingly high number of characters with legitimate strength fell to the vote-ins; Ridley finishes fourth in his vote-in (with the top two finishers in his vote-in both winding up reaching Round 3), which is enough to get him into the bracket, but as a 16-seed. That means an immediate date with a Noble Niner, and he performed better than expected but most people just chalked it up to Cloud being an anti-vote magnet. 2013: 43.23% of the vote in a threeway, which would be more than enough to win a lot of matches. Unfortunately for Ridley, it's not even close to first place (Zidane Tribal) as the third-place finisher barely broke 5% and was in fact one of the characters chosen for the "Worst of the Worst" bonus match to fill the 12 hours between the end of Round 1 and the beginning of Round 2. 2018: Again he sets a new high in percentage, getting 43.34% in a 1v1 with Big Boss. The only one that seems even remotely disappointing is the Diablo loss, and even that isn't horrible because Blizzard didn't really start sucking in contests until a few years after that match. Ridley definitely needs to find an opponent that's not from a major franchise; his last four losses are MGS, FF, FF, and RE/FF. "Someday I'll catch up, and then you'll all be surprised!" BKSheikah has the power. He is the one. |
has Navi ever been in a contest? "L-Block 2007 Character Battle Champion" Always remember. "L-Block, shaped like a boot to kick your ass" |
I bet she would have been a 1st seed in the worst character contest, but Allen realized that it was a bad idea. Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. DpOblivion > Me |

im317 posted... has Navi ever been in a contest? If we really want to get more Ocarina characters in the contest, I'd rather get behind Saria or Darunia. Even Ruto would be better than Navi.

Navi would be the weakest "name" Zelda entrant IMO let's get King Harkinian into a contest Curator of the Character Battle X Archive https://bit.ly/2yYUo0A |
Nah, Navi will get the Waluigi treatment and get votes for the lols CBX - Today's Winners: Auron, Magus, Sub-Zero, Claire Score: 36/44 |
i dont actually want Navi in a contest, i was just trying to think of someone the others could beat. "L-Block 2007 Character Battle Champion" Always remember. "L-Block, shaped like a boot to kick your ass" |
Going to sleep now, when I wake up I want to see- 1.That Edgeworth was leading at the 5 minute freeze, and having 80%+ at the first minute freeze 2.VOTE FOR GORO MAJIMA! f*** MASTER CHIEF WHO CARES ABOUT HALO 3.Tails 60/40 Drake 4. 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
Has Banjo from Banjo and Kazooie fame ever made it to a contest. He’d be above the fodder line for sure (edited 10/30/2018 3:48:04 PM) |

http://thengamer.com/xstats/ranks.php?name=Banjo Banjo actually has a potential to be somewhat underrated, as he has a tendency to get stuck against Nintendo or Nintendo-lite characters. But I'm not sure there's anyone of consequence I would actually take him against. Agent Triple Zero at your service!

ZenOfThunder posted... Navi would be the weakest "name" Zelda entrant IMO No joke, I registered my account here specifically to nominate King Harkinian for a Character Battle. Now crack that combination: 27 99 23. |
charmander6000 posted... Yeah, depending on the timing of his reveal 70-75% of voters would have already voted by then. Geno would need a rally These kinds of trends (if they occur) are something that I like to call "situational trends", in which a poll's trends are influenced by outside events such as the Super Bowl, an E3 presentation, a Nintendo Direct, and other things. It is one of 5 different types of trends that I had identified in the past - age-based trends, time-based trends, geolocation trends, situational trends, and rally trends Age-based trends don't really exist anymore. Time-based trends don't show up in contest matches and are only relevant in a small number of regular polls. Geolocation trends are the primary driver of trends in contests now that we don't have age-based trends anymore.

Ya'll ready for Tails to give Nathan Drake that work, babyyyyyyyyy? 38/44 pts - The Great GameFAQs Character Battle X contest! NP: Auron/Vincent Valentine/Sub-Zero/Claire Redfield |
Oh Drake Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Come on Tails! |
Well I guess Tails has that fourpack won Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality. |
Argh, there's one 42 on the leaderboard, and it's not me. And Drake's going to choke that progress, ain't he? Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2018 Guru Contest winner. http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=40 |
Gotta love that Chrono Trigger board vote. 85% |
Edgey is losing big even with the board vote, lol Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality. |
I have Drake winning two rounds. This is the first match where a wrong pick affects multiple rounds for me. The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history. |
Drake vs. Sully, who ya got? 😂 (Being facetious... but still though, lol Drake) Now crack that combination: 27 99 23. |
Magus and Joker were both sitewide favorites. What else has been an upset? davidponte posted... This is the first match where a wrong pick affects multiple rounds for me. Second for me because of freaking Riku Congrats to BKSheikah for winning the BYIG Guru Challenge! |
Magus and Joker were both the slight favorites in their matches. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2018 Guru Contest winner. http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=40 |
Love how all the matches are going right now |
Miles and MC both got fully stalled in the final minute before the freeze. We could see some fun this update. Used to be TheOneAboveAll. Forgot my password and had no way to recover it. |
TheOneAboveAll3 posted... Miles and MC both got fully stalled in the final minute before the freeze. We could see some fun this update. Okay, call him Tails. You always should, but today it's super confusing. Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
14
people fell off the Top 50. TAFKAHurricane, lordloki12, BadDecisions,
Panthera, htaeD, Kufuzi, GlueGun18, Tjian, SonicLink15, WhiteLens,
Porygon, KeepinItFresh, devilsbane_code and half_silver28 did not have
Auron, Vincent, Sub-Zero and Claire winning. 17 people got one match wrong and survived. BradyFumbled, tennisboy213, Bolto4, Polycosm, iGenesis, TheRock1525, Samurai7, bejma, MasterMoltar, Exaspenite, Ulti69, huntmaster17, NightTundra, NeoElfboy, OFool, Ngamer64 and StartTheMachine also did not have Auron, Vincent, Sub-Zero and Claire winning. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
LordoftheMorons posted... Magus and Joker were both sitewide favorites. What else has been an upset? I believe Captain Toad was an upset, most brackets had Shovel Knight. 42/48 pts - The Great GameFAQs Character Battle X contest! NP: Luigi/Frog/Master Chief/Tails |
The_Ctes posted... TheOneAboveAll3 posted...Miles and MC both got fully stalled in the final minute before the freeze. We could see some fun this update. I totally thought I called him Tails. I have no idea how "Miles" popped up, other than the fact that I haven't slept in four days. Used to be TheOneAboveAll. Forgot my password and had no way to recover it. |
TheOneAboveAll3 posted... Miles and MC both got fully stalled in the final minute before the freeze. We could see some fun this update. I guess Halo antivoting is still alive and well. Seems like Goro should be turbofodder, looking at how badly Kiryu did. Now crack that combination: 27 99 23. |
Draaaaake Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
these all look over to me luigi going huge already Born to lose, live to win! |
Tails winning the fourpack is a lock now, GG everybody. Now crack that combination: 27 99 23. |
Well, that update was no fun. Tails and MC won't even make this a little fun. Used to be TheOneAboveAll. Forgot my password and had no way to recover it. |
Drake is one of the biggest jobbers in the history of these things. |
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3747-mushroom-division-round-1-big-boss-vs-edgeworth I wouldn't call what Luigi is doing now 'going huge'. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Since I'm losing three points now, I hope Tails ends doing better on Drake than Chief does on Goro. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2018 Guru Contest winner. http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=40 |
Hey Tails, Cecil wants to know if he can be placed against a modern character so he can finally win a match too. |

You’re damn right I survived |

Evillordexdeath posted... Drake is one of the biggest jobbers in the history of these things. Hard to tell if this is all on Drake dropping or if Tails has gotten stronger. It's hard to believe Drake could have dropped because Uncharted 4 came out in 2016 and it was very well received by both gamers and the professional critics.

JESUS CHRIST, LUIGI, HE'S ALREADY DEAD! Also, is it just me or is Monokuma doing better than anticipated? Now crack that combination: 27 99 23. |
Wow these past few days have been killing my bracket. I cant wait until Dedede beats Revolver Ocelot tomorrow My Quest to beat the Final Fantasies: I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X XII XIII XV |
