tgs2 posted... I can understand Waluigi being close with Aerith, but Captain Toad doing it here is honestly one of the worst things from this contest so far tbqh https://i.imgtc.com/2E9j4AJ.png Curator of the Character Battle X Archive https://bit.ly/2yYUo0A |
Allen why WHY I am Nick. Go Sens, Bills, Blue Jays! UotY 2015, You should listen to The Show w/ Ngamer and Yoblazer |

I go to all this trouble to rally Captain Toad into the contest, and Allen completely flubs it I am Nick. Go Sens, Bills, Blue Jays! UotY 2015, You should listen to The Show w/ Ngamer and Yoblazer |
Why would Toad not be stronger than Waluigi? He's been guiding Mario away from wrong castles since the beginning! And now he's a Captain! Waluigi hasn't done anything worthwhile as far as I'm concerned and his name sucks. Backlog:

Man,
if you ever wanted undeniable proof of an FFVII de-boost, it's this
Aerith/Toad match. I don't see how Sephiroth is anywhere near the
favorite anymore. Used to be TheOneAboveAll. Forgot my password and had no way to recover it. |
oh wow, not only did i make the leaderboard but i might be able to stay on even with Dva losing |
I can't wait to see the Squall vs. Zelda board vote. That could be hilarious in itself. 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 |

Yeah, Squall is already making moves. His number is going to look normal by the end of the day. The real issue is Zelda going god mode. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
ZenOfThunder posted... oh yeah uhhh here are my gifs for the night, they were posted early in the Crew topic: He finished his calibrations at the cost of his own life. A true hero. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
It's amazing that Squall can lose the board vote this badly to Garrus. At this rate he'll get to around what is expected of him. CBX - Today's Winners: Squall, Zelda, Fox, Aerith Score: 74/96 |
KamikazePotato posted... Yeah, Squall is already making moves. His number is going to look normal by the end of the day. Is this zelda godmode, or is this MGS collapse? It's kinda hard to say so far because most of MGS has just looked like total garbage it seems. If it's the latter Squall has a very serious shot at beating Zelda here Shine on, you crazy diamond. |
Damn Squall and Aerith already racing ahead. How brutal is that opening 5 minute FF anti vote Started from the bottom now we here |
I'm not really willing to talk out MGS collapse until we see Snake himself. I feel like he's a completely separate beast from his franchise. ...of course by that logic this would still be an MGS collapse sans Snake. |
Yeah,
it's still a MGS collapse even if Snake looks fine. It just means that
Smash was able to prop him up so he wasn't relying as much on MGS. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
LapisLazuli posted... I'm not really willing to talk out MGS collapse until we see Snake himself. Yeah, Snake is not the barometer one should use for a MGS collapse since he has other sources of strength. However, it still isn't exactly great news for Snake because I don't know if being in Smash is going to help him when almost all the other elites have Smash ties themselves.

I'm
not necessarily talking Smash, I just think we may have Big Boss
backlash from MGSV which might actually result in an even stronger Snake
than usual. I don't know why people thought The Boss would pull numbers. I mean she DESERVES to, but I never expected her to be noteable. |
Hey guys, I vote the template that early voters use! https://i.imgur.com/bi3n6ow.png Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Phoenix's victory is the best contest result in quite a long time. I've never been prouder to be a B8er. |
D.Va just needs a popular adult entertainer to rally for her and she will be right back in this "L-Block 2007 Character Battle Champion" Always remember. "L-Block, shaped like a boot to kick your ass" |

Bowser was about 1.5% better with registered users. This is one of the few times where Pokemon did worse with registered users. Bracket voting might have been a factor in Bowser doing better with registered users. Kirby did almost 4% better with registered users, and against another Nintendo character too. The big winner of the day was Phoenix Wright, who did almost 4.5% better with registered users despite going up against a Smash character. This is also the first time the registered user bonus has changed the winner of the match. Without the bonus, Ike would have won by 28 votes. Even then, the match becomes so close that Board 8 would have attempted to push for Phoenix at the end of the match and he probably still wins anyways.

Yes, it's the first time the bonus has changed the winner. We came pretty close only one day earlier when Red would have beaten Sora by only 58 votes without the bonus. In that case, the bonus didn't change the winner, but it did make the match far closer than the actual result.

So the first victim of doubled registered votes is a Nintendo character. I wonder how many people expected that to happen. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
On
today's matches: I think I'd take Garrus > The Boss, but not by
this margin. It's one thing to dismiss Zelda's rematch with Ezio due to
the apparent fall of Assassin's Creed, but once again Zelda's looking
really good against Squall at a time when Nintendo's looking stronger
and Square's looking weaker. Friendly reminder that the Switch is Nintendo's biggest console since early-years Wii, LoZ:BotW is likely Game if the Decade at the moment, and SSBU hype is through the roof for its release next month. Squall could win, but I doubt it now and I don't know where his x-factors are supposed to be for him here. Maybe SB allows user-pics next round and Zelda gets a poor draw? Maybe Squall gets a starring role in a KH3 trailor? Not sure what else Squall gets in his favor before the match. I wish I pulled the trigger on shooting for the Zelda > Squall upset. Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! https://imgur.com/Dr4NAeq |
Also, Fox > Aeris is pretty likely now. This division and Sora were basically the main times I bet on Square. Oops. Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! https://imgur.com/Dr4NAeq |
Well
Phoenix Wright vs Ike was one of the frontrunners for me for that rule
to tilt so yeah I'm not too surprised. If you'd told me going in that
our count of flipped matches in the contest was less than like 5 I may
have guessed it as the first. Otherwise I probably would've bit on a R1
match first, though I'm not sure how many R1 matches I actually thought
would be that close. Ramza/Garrus I guess. Simon/Hayabusa I thought
was flipped by it but I didn't think Hayabusa was at real risk of losing
that match before the actual match. No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Way to go Phoenix fans. I didn't pick him to beat Ike, but I'm proud of y'all. I remember trudging out to GameStop one morning in December of 2005 to pick up this weird lawyer game because Board 8 was all hype as s*** about it. I ended up hating the gameplay, but the characters and music and story were wacky and fun. I can't believe we turned the main character of that weird lawyer game into a legitimate contest threat. That's us. WE did that. f***, I almost wanna give us credit for him getting into MvC. We MADE Phoenix Wright.

HaRRicH posted... On today's matches: I think I'd take Garrus > The Boss, but not by this margin Yeah but I don't expect the margins to stay this drastic. Best case scenario (for Squall) they can reach the same percent again (edited 11/7/2018 5:50:21 PM) |
With only three days until Round 3 wouldn't Allen have already opened submissions if he was taking user pics? BK_Sheikah? More like BYIG_Sheikah. https://imgur.com/gw03gl7 - Number of people that D'awwed: 102 |
ExThaNemesis posted... f***, I almost wanna give us credit for him getting into MvC. We MADE Phoenix Wright. That's giving Board 8 a bit too much credit. Phoenix Wright was popular in a lot of nerdy corners of the Internet at once, really. I'd had two friends over the years ask me if I've heard of Phoenix Wright well before Marvel 3, after it took off here, and to my knowledge neither of them ever came to this website regularly. No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
We're
going to be starting Division 7's matches on Friday night, so there's
still a small chance Allen could open up submissions for round 3 match
pictures before the weekend arrives. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |

I don't know, it's fairly possible PW's popularity spread to those corners of the internet BECAUSE of us. I never saw anywhere else touting Wright-o until looooong after we made him famous.

pjbasis posted... HaRRicH posted...On today's matches: I think I'd take Garrus > The Boss, but not by this margin I'll agree, right on. I'd still take Garrus > The Boss to be a close match though, so I'd want to see this shift much closer to even regarding my pick of Squall > Zelda.

Zelda
doesn't really have many options for bad pictures, though. I guess
she's starting pretty high with her SSBU picture so she does have room
to go down. But user pictures also mean a high chance of smiling Squall
so... This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
I mean we certainly helped to a non-negligible degree. GameFAQs had way more of a footprint back then. But because of us seems pretty strong! No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Phoenix
has won! TIme to celebrate! If you voted for Phoenix you are required
to listen to all the "Won the Case" themes back-to-back! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIvHg9R-qUs Squall had better hope that Garrus overperforms like Master Chief does against a strong opponent. Either that or Squall had better that Zelda is overperforming against The Boss because they're both girls. I would say that is conceivable because Tifa got a really high score in The Boss in 2006.,.. in fact, she got 74.55% on The Boss! Granted, she wasn't very strong back then, plus, MGS/FF SFF happens on occasion (I think?), but still, one year later she DID tie with Tails and merely avoided a doubling against.... aw, crap... Zelda? Dang it! The theory doesn't look as likely now. I guess Squall has to hope the first theory is true. "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." |
