Hoo boy, just woke up and read through the thread. ME3 debate in 2018. This is why I love contest season. Character Battle X Current Score: 51/60 You should feel ashamed of your words and deeds. |
ZenOfThunder posted... should have listened to Ulti and gone full-Femshep Because "generic Western woman" has been faring much better. |
It'd
definitely be a departure from the norm, but I can't help but wonder
how using an N7 logo instead of default Shep would influence the
results. "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." - John 16:33 |
I love how generic essentially means any semblance of realism Conformity
and rebellion...both ways are simple-minded--they are only for people
who cannot cope with contradiction and ambiguity. |
Not necessarily that, but just looking like a "typical" human being without much in the way of a standout appearance. "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |

Lol quiet It boggles my mind how this site doesn't like MGSV. It's literally the only generic open world game that is polluting the gaming space which is any good. And yes I'm also including BotW in that BKSheikah, my hat is off to you. Welcome to the Guru Champions Club lol xstats |
one
reason to dislike MGSV is that it's incomplete, literally. I thought
the gameplay was really good, best in the series in term of mechanics
but the story was not what you would expect from a MGS game. ... |
Same
here. I found the ending unsatisfactory and confusing. It introduced a
few massive plot holes in the overall series continuity, and now that
Kojima is gone, they'll likely never be reconciled. Character Battle X Current Score: 51/60 You should feel ashamed of your words and deeds. |
Hailing MGSV while calling BotW generic is hilarious. BotW massively expands on what made MGSV great. Also I saw someone talking mess about Lucina and Shulk and they both strongly overperformed based on 2013. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh BKSheikah |
BotW
was a good game ruined by bulls*** mechanics. Take away weapon
durability and add in more traditional Zelda items and dungeons and that
game would have been amazing BKSheikah, my hat is off to you. Welcome to the Guru Champions Club lol xstats |
Can we make a separate topic for the 100000000000th debate on the merits of BotW please thanks Curator of the Character Battle X Archive https://bit.ly/2yYUo0A |
woke up to see K Rool gave up the ghost :( You felt your sins weighing down on your neck. |
That
stuff about Peru is weird considering that country has favored the
losing character for like 95% of the matches or something. Backlog:

Match LXV: (1) Dante vs. (9) Lightning Current Contest Performance Dante Defeated Cuphead, 71.59% - 28.41% Lightning Defeated Chloe Prince, 74.19% - 25.81% Analysis Welcome to round 2. Some people were impressed by Lightning’s performance in the first round, but I feel that was more due to Chloe Price being weak. At best, Lightning could be stronger than expected because Donkey Kong did so well last round meaning he could have gotten a boost in 2013 and it was hidden by SFF. Of course, with the way Nintendo has performed I imagine some of that boost was more recent. Regardless, Dante shouldn’t have too much trouble winning this match. I still give him an outside chance at winning the division, but for that to occur he needs to put up decent numbers, likely well into the 60s. charmander6000’s Bracket: Dante > Lightning charmander6000’s Prediction: Dante wins, 63.27% - 36.73% Match LXVI: (12) Chun-Li vs. (4) Ganondorf Current Contest Performance Chun-Li Defeated Spyro the Dragon, 56.17% - 43.83% Ganondorf Defeated Neku Sakuraba, 78.60% - 21.40% Analysis Ganondorf had a great performance against Neku which foreshadowed the kind of first round Nintendo was going to have. A second strong performance against Chun-Li will likely seal this division for Ganondorf. Chun-Li did as expected against Spyro. Between Ken and Chun-Li I always felt that Ken would be slightly stronger though I would keep Chun-Li in the same range, though with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate that may become different. Regardless, with Ganondorf looking stronger I doubt Chun-Li will be able to match the 36% Ken got in 2010. charmander6000’s Bracket: Ganondorf > Chun-Li charmander6000’s Prediction: Ganondorf wins, 68.23% - 31.77% CBX - Today's Winners: Ryu, Commander Shepard, KOS-MOS, Aqua Score: 50/60 |
Match LXVII: (3) Vivi vs. (11) Aya Brea Current Contest Performance Vivi Defeated Yu Narukami, 74.89% - 25.11% Aya Brea Defeated Victor Sullivan, 59.56% - 40.44% Analysis Vivi put up strong numbers last round, but I wouldn’t say they were good enough to push him into elite status like his performance in 2013 suggested. Yu did have reason to be a bit stronger given that Persona is on the upswing so if Vivi can have a similar performance he could still easily reach the division final. While Aya did reach the second round with relative ease that is more due to Sully’s weakness than her strength. Given her performance in 2013 there is definitely a good chance that we may see Vivi score a higher percentage her than what he got in the first round. She only got 27% against Sora and even if there is some kind of Square SFF I imagine Vivi would do the same to her. charmander6000’s Bracket: Vivi > Aya Brea charmander6000’s Prediction: Vivi wins, 76.31% - 23.69% Match LXVIII: (10) Donkey Kong vs. (2) Leon Kennedy Current Contest Performance Donkey Kong Defeated Tidus, 56.93% - 43.07% Leon Kennedy Defeated Dragonborn, 68.68% - 31.32% Analysis Remember when we were impressed by Leon’s performance against Dragonborn? Not only did he drop to a more expected number by the end of the match, but newer characters have since been flopping everywhere. Overall Resident Evil characters have had a decent contest so far. However, I am quite nervous about this match. If Donkey Kong’s performance against Tidus was all of him boosting then he should have a legitimate shot against Leon. While the board was a bit down on Final Fantasy at the beginning, I feel the prevailing theory is that they have stayed mostly constant. Both Yuna and Auron performed okay, though one match was against a new character while the other was against a character whom has likely boosted. I think Leon has this, but Donkey Kong could be going for a third match against Vivi. charmander6000’s Bracket: Leon Kennedy > Tidus charmander6000’s Prediction: Leon Kennedy wins, 53.17% - 46.83% CBX - Today's Winners: Ryu, Commander Shepard, KOS-MOS, Aqua Score: 50/60 |
I don't really expect Leon to break the 53% barrier after the first few hours. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if Donkey Kong pulls the upset here. Here lies the sig of BK_Sheikah00, who swore fealty to the Gurus of Board 8. |
lordjers posted... That stuff about Peru is weird considering that country has favored the losing character for like 95% of the matches or something. Actually, that would make perfect sense if it's a vote stuffer. No reason to stuff for the character that would win naturally, right? I mean, the alternative is that Peru's tastes run diametrically opposite to the majority of voters to a ridiculous degree. I don't know enough about South American culture to know if they share our love of an underdog, but that's definitely more of an American thing--in Europe, the idea is that it's fine if underdogs get a meaningless victory here and there but when they start going on deep runs, it's upsetting the natural order of things. "Someday I'll catch up, and then you'll all be surprised!" BKSheikah has the power. He is the one. |
The bigger issue is that it's unlikely that ~100 people from Peru vote in these things given our vote totals CBX - Today's Winners: Ryu, Commander Shepard, KOS-MOS, Aqua Score: 50/60 |
Hey Luster, have you reported the Peru issue to SBAllen? [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO BKSheikah NO PEACE] |
I
haven't reported the Peru issue just yet. It's also the weekend, so
Allen won't get a chance to read any message sent to him until next
Monday at the earliest. I plan to use this time to farther research the
issue. charmander6000 posted... The bigger issue is that it's unlikely that ~100 people from Peru vote in these things given our vote totals And the regular polls running during the contest aren't showing elevated vote totals from Peru. They're in line with what they should get based the overall vote totals of the regular polls. The only exception was a regular poll from 2 days ago where the Peru stuffer voted for Pokemon: Let's Go, Eevee / Pikachu! to give it 94.57% in Peru (that's a minimum of 92 votes from Peru).

Advokaiser posted... I don't really expect Leon to break the 53% barrier after the first few hours. I don’t know if DK pulls the upset, but I do expect him to scare us early with the huge Nintendo vote. We could end up with yet another match of a Smash character dominating until the dead zone, with the UK vote deciding the winner. 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 |

Just for fun, possible vote totals consistent with 94.57% less than 10000 are multiples of 92, 221, 3186, and 3407. Congrats to BKSheikah for winning the BYIG Guru Challenge! |
Guys, what number does Dante need to put on Lightning for Cuphead to be equal to Chloe Price? Here lies the sig of BK_Sheikah00, who swore fealty to the Gurus of Board 8. |
does this new Kingdom Hearts trailer do anything for Sora? "L-Block 2007 Character Battle Champion" Always remember. "L-Block, shaped like a boot to kick your ass" |
Congratulations
to Aqua for now being tied for 2nd most wins all-time by a Kingdom
Hearts character, along with Riku, Roxas, Kairi, and Ansem. Sorry, Axel. |
How
unfamiliar I am with Donkey Kong - I always assumed King K. Rool was
another monkey like Donkey or Diddy, just even lower in the totem pole
than Diddy. lol Current 40th place overall in The Great GameFAQs Character Battle X contest! NP: Ryu/Commander Shepard/KOS-MOS/Aqua |
so did you assume the "K" stood for "Kong" to get around copyright issues King Kong Rool(s) |
also both Joel and Ellie started off very slowly and gradually got stronger as the match went along almost a rise to heaven situation, except they were losing |
LeonhartFour posted... Congratulations to Aqua for now being tied for 2nd most wins all-time by a Kingdom Hearts character, along with Riku, Roxas, Kairi, and Ansem. Aqua gonna go for three! KOS-MOS not even blowing out Ellie is bad news! |
Ellie > Aqua isn't that hard to fathom |
LeonhartFour posted... also both Joel and Ellie started off very slowly and gradually got stronger as the match went along well Ellie has 60.79% in the UK, so i guess TLoU has a good Europe vote.

LeonhartFour posted... Ellie > Aqua isn't that hard to fathom ya well tell that to testya nomura |
LeonhartFour posted... Congratulations to Aqua for now being tied for 2nd most wins all-time by a Kingdom Hearts character, along with Riku, Roxas, Kairi, and Ansem. That's some kind of fuzzy math. I mean it's technically true because Riku never actually got first place in a match during fourways, but he reached the second round both times and the third round in one of them! "Someday I'll catch up, and then you'll all be surprised!" BKSheikah has the power. He is the one. |
fuzzy math? is it 2000 again? "L-Block 2007 Character Battle Champion" Always remember. "L-Block, shaped like a boot to kick your ass" |
LeonhartFour posted... Ellie > Aqua isn't that hard to fathom Aqua's going to stomp KOS-MOS, CALLING IT NOW Character Battle X Current Score: 51/60 You should feel ashamed of your words and deeds. |
The Owner of FF9 posted... LeonhartFour posted...Ellie > Aqua isn't that hard to fathom Aqua is almost 10% lower in the UK then globally, trends are starting to appear. "L-Block 2007 Character Battle Champion" Always remember. "L-Block, shaped like a boot to kick your ass" |

wasn't Xenosaga II the only game that released in Europe or something dumb like that |
LeonhartFour posted... wasn't Xenosaga II the only game that released in Europe or something dumb like that Yeah, Episode I and III were never released in Europe, but Episode II was released there. Very unusual. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
The Owner of FF9 posted... im317 posted...The Owner of FF9 posted...show hidden quote(s)LeonhartFour posted...Ellie > Aqua isn't that hard to fathom its comparing trends. Ellie rose over time as Europe woke up, well Aqua doesn't appear to do so. meaning KOS-MOS needs a smaller lead after the first hour to hold on next round. thought i suppose it could be a result of KOS-MOS not being as strong in Europe as opposed to Ellie being strong in Europe.

my word Vivi LOL Lightning weaker than Cuphead Ganondorf looking vulnerable...! |
Vivi and Dante looking good after the first minute. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Neither had to face a Nintendo character. :> Truly smilin' |
Saw a lot of ties pressing f5 over and over. But Leon got this in the end for sure. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to BKSheikah, the winner of the Best Year in Gaming contest. |
COME ON Lightning! GJ BK_Sheikah |
Ganondorf is the most surprising result to me after three minutes. The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history. |
Vivi > Ganon ? |
finally, i have actual reason to believe in dante next round (probably not) Born to lose, live to win! |
