Also,
I always start enjoying the contest more once we get to round 2 because
we start being able to develop X-Stats and compare the characters to
each other better. Plus, most of the fodder is gone, too. I'm kind of curious to see if SBAllen intends to post bracket numbers for every single character for every single match. The final matches will end up being pretty long lists...! |
Division 8, Round 1 Sephiroth vs. Albert Wesker Registered Vote Result: Sephiroth - 6601 (70.07%) Albert Wesker - 2819 (29.93%) Anonymous Vote Result: Sephiroth - 7198 (70.67%) Albert Wesker - 2987 (29.33%) Richter Belmont vs. Captain Falcon Registered Vote Result: Richter Belmont - 3566 (37.85%) Captain Falcon - 5855 (62.15%) Anonymous Vote Result: Richter Belmont - 4364 (42.85%) Captain Falcon - 5821 (57.15%) Amaterasu vs. Draven Registered Vote Result: Amaterasu - 8267 (87.77%) Draven - 1152 (12.23%) Anonymous Vote Result: Amaterasu - 9050 (88.86%) Draven - 1135 (11.14%) Lara Croft vs. Metal Man Registered Vote Result: Lara Croft - 6434 (68.30%) Metal Man - 2986 (31.70%) Anonymous Vote Result: Lara Croft - 6838 (67.14%) Metal Man - 3347 (32.86%) Wesker does do a little bit better among registered users, but there wasn't too much difference between registered and anonymous users. Sephiroth and Wesker are pretty similar characters, especially in their trends too. Falcon has a 5 point advantage with registered users, which is up there with some of the other extreme splits we've seen. Richter might have been announced for Smash, but Falcon is clearly an established Smash character while Richter is still mostly relying on the Castlevania fanbase since Ultimate is not out yet. Sephiroth/Falcon should be very interesting next round in the voting splits. Draven does about 1% better with registered users, but this wasn't too unexpected after Sans. Registered users are much more familiar with Draven from his contest run in 2013.

So Richter breaks 40% if the registered votes didn't count double? Lopen redeemed Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

_SecretSquirrel posted... Maybe we really should try to get Diddy in next year. Donkey finally handed off his choke resume to a worthy successor, and K Rool of all characters now a solid midcarder thanks to Smash. No more Nintendo characters, please. BTW, Draven did end up getting shut out in North Dakota. Congrats to BKSheikah, the new Guru champ! Not that I'm bitter or anything... |
LeonhartFour posted... It's kind of sad seeing some of these characters who used to be strong now struggling to beat low tier Nintendo characters just because of Smash. why are you angry at the fanbase and not EA/Bioware? if ME3 and Andromeda were as good as ME1 and ME2, the series would still be alive and Shepard would still be relevant. Instead we got a mediocre end to the trilogy (ME3) and an abomination (Andromeda). EA/Bioware killed the series. They didn't even have the decency to give us a ME:Trilogy remaster for PS4/X1. ... |

LusterSoldier posted... Richter Belmont vs. Captain Falcon Wow, 5 points. Seph might look pretty damn bad next round. LusterSoldier posted... Amaterasu vs. Draven Traitors among us...! Congrats to BKSheikah for winning the BYIG Guru Challenge! |
now that the kiddies are asleep time for k. rool to dominate https://imgur.com/M1heX2g RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Look
at the Sonic fans. Sonic fans have been willing to stand by Sonic no
matter what and sometime their series lives on. Mass Effect was put on
life support after one game and essentially killed by a second. That was
how much patience the fanbase had for a serious they supposedly loved. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
abdou posted... if ME3 and Andromeda were as good as ME1 and ME2, the series would still be alive and Shepard would still be relevant. I mean ME3 > ME2 > MEA > ME1 so this just isn't true abdou posted... They didn't even have the decency to give us a ME:Trilogy remaster for PS4/X1. good grief why should they ever give this fanbase anything ever again |
i, for one, am shocked that the fanbase of a space series is awful. this has never happened before. https://imgur.com/M1heX2g RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Mass Effect 3 is a fantastic game. I'd easily take it over the first. Board 8's Top 250 Games 2016 Edition: https://casanovazelos.wordpress.com/2016/04/26/b8top250/ |

I mean even Star Wars fans largely showed up for Episode 3 even after Episode 1 and 2. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
I'm in the camp of blaming both the fanbase and EA/BioWare. I adored ME3 (it's my game of the generation), and while I wasn't particularly satisfied with the original ending, the incessant whining and hyperbolic vitriol about it for months on end definitely soured me on the community. The game isn't perfect, but that didn't warrant what felt like the biggest collective tantrum in the history of the medium. Conversely, I feel that EA and BioWare deserve every ounce of the criticism leveled at Andromeda. It's easily the most disappointing game I've ever played, and while it has its merits (I'd rank Jaal higher than all but four or five squad members from the original trilogy), the overall package felt shockingly incompetent and uninspired. I was hoping the latter wouldn't affect Shepard and Garrus in the contest, given that they aren't in the game at all, but it seems I was mistaken. "In this world you will have trouble.

LeonhartFour posted... abdou posted...if ME3 and Andromeda were as good as ME1 and ME2, the series would still be alive and Shepard would still be relevant. well they are giving us a lame Destiny rip off and I am looking forward to not buying it. ... |
The lack of a PS4 trilogy remaster does suck though Not to be confused with XIII_Stones. |
There really is something in sci-fi that causes abominable fandoms. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |
UltimaterializerX posted... There really is something in sci-fi that causes abominable fandoms. For whatever reason, it generates huge passion, which is good when things are going great. But when anything is even slightly bad, hoo boy. https://imgur.com/M1heX2g RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
LeonhartFour posted... It's kind of sad seeing some of these characters who used to be strong now struggling to beat low tier Nintendo characters just because of Smash. If Shepard holds the lead, Nintendo characters will be 19-9 this first round. It's not as drastic as it seems (though Nintendo characters were 16-2 at one point).

Well,
even if characters like Dedede and K. Rool lose, just the fact that
these matches were even close is still kind of bothersome. |
A big part of it is HOW Nintendo has looked in the process. Master Hand and DK dominated opponents that should have at least been somewhat competitive. Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing (vs. pseudo-Nintendo), and Peach were the only times Nintendo wasn't at least in the thick of things. DeDeDe, who might not even be in the top 30 Nintendo characters, was competitive with the third-tier of Metal Gear Solid. King K. Rool, who might not even be in the top 40, is currently in a close fight with possibly(?) the 2nd-strongest Western character. Nintendo is looking completely dominant, in a bracket with their top 3 temporarily gone. https://imgur.com/M1heX2g RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
I don't think any of those games are comparable to the way the ME fanbase reacted. I'm not saying BioWare is completely absolved of blame, but the fanbase has to take a big share of it. |
Captain_Sorzo posted... I'm in the camp of blaming both the fanbase and EA/BioWare. Are you for real? BioWare (specifically Casey Hudson) blatantly lied during the marketing of Mass Effect 3. He explicitly promised that the ending wouldn't be like just choosing A, B, or C, and that's exactly what happened. They cut so many corners that basically no decision made in any of the games had a meaningful impact on anything that went on in ME3.

Hello Hello posted... They cut so many corners that basically no decision made in any of the games had a meaningful impact on anything that went on in ME3. I mean if by "anything" you only mean the ending sure but your choices definitely had an impact on how some of those arcs finally resolved (edited 11/2/2018 9:05:27 PM) |
LeonhartFour posted... Hello Hello posted...They cut so many corners that basically no decision made in any of the games had a meaningful impact on anything that went on in ME3. No, I mean just plain anything. Mass Effect 3 spoilers: It doesn't matter who lives or dies. The same series of events will always happen with slightly different dialogue. It doesn't matter. These fake choices don't even really impact the ending through the game's garbage war score system because you could max out your war score just by playing multiplayer. The founders of BioWare were right to resign after ME3 turned out to be a disaster. "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind" -Albert Einstein |
There
are some choices you're absolutely locked out of making or some events
that you're locked out of seeing if you made certain choices in ME1 or
2. I mean if you were expecting a million permutations of every scene I'm sorry |
LeonhartFour posted... There are some choices you're absolutely locked out of making or some events that you're locked out of seeing if you made certain choices in ME1 or 2. Give me specific examples of choices you think that mattered and I will tell you exactly why you are wrong. "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind" -Albert Einstein |
Hello Hello posted... Give me specific examples of choices you think that mattered and I will tell you exactly why you are wrong. wow how could I pass up such a thrilling opportunity |
LeonhartFour posted... I don't think any of those games are comparable to the way the ME fanbase reacted. No, the fanbase is not to 'blame'. Bioware made a game, fans didn't like it. End of story. It's the developer's responsibility to make a good game that the fans want, they are selling us the game. They want us to pay money for their product. If you go to a restaurant and not like the food, do you blame yourself for not liking the food or the restaurant for not making the food good enough? ... |
I blame the fans for getting a restaurant shut down that I thought was making great food. |
Anyways, here are the first round results for Nintendo: Ganondorf vs Neku - (1-0) Tidus vs. Donkey Kong - (2-0) Noctis vs. Master Hand - (3-0) Monika vs. Wario - (4-0) Yoshi vs. Shantae - (5-0) Pikachu vs. Scorpion - (6-0) Neptune vs. Red - (7-0) Big Boss vs. Ridley - (7-1) Alucard vs. Peach - (7-2) Shadow vs. Ness - (8-2) Terra vs. Charizard - (9-2) Bowser vs. Gordon - (10-2) Ike vs. Joel - (11-2) Estelle vs Isaac - (12-2) Kirby vs. Guile - (13-2) Zelda vs. Ezio - (14-2) Jill vs. Fox - (15-2) Shovel Knight vs Captain Toad - (16-2) Waluigi vs Aeris - (16-3) Geralt vs. Rosalina - (16-4) Auron vs. Lucina - (16-5) Shulk vs. Sub-Zero (16-6) Luigi vs. Edgeworth - (17-6) GlaDOS vs. Mewtwo - (18-6) Dedede vs. Ocelot - (18-7) X vs. Isabelle - (18-8) Richter vs. Falcon - (19-8) Shepard vs. K. Rool - (19-9) Oddly, there are no Nintendo vs. Nintendo matches in the first round (though X could be considered quasi-Nintendo). They've actually lost more matches than they've won in the past few days, some like Lucina, Shulk and Isabelle doing quite badly. It'll be interesting to see how the next rounds turn out. Edit: seems like K. Rool isn't quite done. Admittedly, 20-8 sounds a lot more impressive than 19-9.

Well that's just silly. ... |
Well, the last few divisions have been filled with largely lower tier Nintendo characters except for Luigi and Mewtwo. |
LeonhartFour posted... Hello Hello posted...Give me specific examples of choices you think that mattered and I will tell you exactly why you are wrong. Okay, so your story is that the choices matter but you can't think of a single example of a choice that mattered. Congrats on failing to persuade me with your highly non-persuasive argument. Cheers~ "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind" -Albert Einstein |
abdou posted... Well that's just silly. sorry man that's the end of my story |
Hello Hello posted... Congrats on failing to persuade me yes I could tell you were very open to opinions from the other side from your posts I'm sorry I failed you |

oh my god i am taking leon's side in an argument what has happened https://imgur.com/M1heX2g RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
WarThaNemesis2 posted... i am taking leon's side in an argument if this isn't the greatest indictment of the ME fanbase I don't know what is |
LeonhartFour posted... yes I could tell you were very open to opinions from the other side from your posts Not all opinions are equal. Some are based on people's imaginations (your arguments in favour of ME3) and some are based on evidence (my arguments against ME3). Congrats on being the BioWare equivalent of a Flat Earther.

LeonhartFour posted... abdou posted...Well that's just silly. Oh I understand, we both want more ME but put blame different sides for the series's demise. It sucks either way. ... |
Hello Hello posted... LeonhartFour posted...There are some choices you're absolutely locked out of making or some events that you're locked out of seeing if you made certain choices in ME1 or 2.

I
think maybe for ME3 the restaurant customers had an unreasonable
expectation for how good the food should be and the food was actually
plenty good For your BK_Sheikah00. At least Kupo has class and doesn't MESSAGE the people -Dr Pizza |
and while we've been arguing about this Shepard has lost the lead *sigh* |
