@creativename

Can you trigger a poll update for poll 7302 to 7305? The updater doesn't pick up the final update of the match (meaning I have to trigger a manual update). I would have manually triggered an update for yesterday's matches, but the site won't allow me to do that. The manual poll update URL only works for poll 7306 or higher now.

Hmm, vote totals seem lower than usual for the start of today's matches. We're around 462 votes on average per match for the board vote today, when this has generally been at least 100 votes higher for previous matches. I guess the site still has to adjust to the new starting time.

Maybe we'll see an improvement to the early vote totals tomorrow.

I don't know if this was it, but I was trying to x out of some expanding banner ad, and the matches went away from the front page.

The number of picks for DK vs. Leon implies that every bracket had DK and Leon winning in Round 1, which isn't the case. I'm guessing that DK's 2748 picks is really DK's + Tidus's 2748 picks.

The other thing to consider is Velvet seemed to win the board vote and IIRC Kratos has one of the worst early votes this side of FFVII. So I could see this one looking less unfriendly to Yoshi > Pikachu prospects when all is said and done.

Yes, I know that. Even then, the homepage has a banner (after you voted) showing how much time was left until the next matches begin, so the site shouldn't have been caught off-guard by the change from the DST switch.

Kratos will end up looking a lot better than he is right now. Plus, Yoshi has been against some characters you don't really score blow-outs on.

I mean, Pikachu is the favorite going into that match for sure, but I wouldn't count Yoshi out of it.

GameFAQs seems to have undergone a boost for childish characters in general- a huge overlap with Smash needless to say, but even Vivi gets a boost from this

What a ridiculous idea


Is it?

The average age of a GameFAQs user has probably gone from 20 to 32 in the past 15 years. Angsty characters aimed at teens and young adults have fallen off in appeal, modern characters with realistic character designs are not doing well (admittedly partially because GameFAQs users dont play that many new games), and characters with designs that would have been considered ‘childish’ 15 years ago (pikachu, yoshi, DK) are now seen with a lens of nostalgia.


Hmmm... there might be more to that than just nostalgia. Think about it: if the average age of the GameFAQs user is already in their early thirties, it is entirely reasonable to think that many of them are now parents. Parents who want to introduce their children to gaming. So all those E-rated icons are more prominent in their minds than the characters from the M-rated games they played in their teens and twenties.

Keep in mind 07 and 08 were when Pokefear really started. Pika was our hero against L-Block in 08 after all. Charizard at minimum clearly lost a step since the peak of Pokemania so it stands to reason that Pikachu might as well and fall down to 07 and 08 levels

I'll grant you the first one, but that 2008 match is literally two Noble Niners and what at the time was an elite midcarder. I doubt he'd have beaten any of those three characters 1v1 at the time (though I do believe that he could beat Crono or Vincent 1v1 now, because he's arguably gotten stronger or at the very least avoided weakening whereas Crono and Vincent clearly have.)

The loss to Fox, well, that was 15 years ago. Pikachu was a lot weaker in 2002 and 2003 than in every appearance since.

Incredibly stupid. I was only mildly annoyed that they weren't posting percentages since calculating them was easy. But now we have absolutely no way of telling how many people actually had the correct pick.
