Geralt vs Simon: best battle so far in this contest. I love that it's close. Love both characters but I still picked Geralt. |
Archer
would do a lot better now than he did in 2013. Fate's popularity has
grown significantly since then. Saber is probably the best overall pick
for a representative, though. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Yeah
if you have one Fate rep it's gotta be Saber. She's in pretty much
every Fate related thing as the mascot. Archer was kinda a meme on this
board which is why he got in over Saber in the first place. i7 7700k, RTX 2070, 12gb DDR4 Playing: Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4), Fallout 76 (PC) |
so who do we think is the stronger pair today? Can Geralt beat Bayonetta next round? For your BK_Sheikah00. At least Kupo has class and doesn't MESSAGE the people -Dr Pizza |
VeryInsane posted... Most interesting characters per franchise that haven’t shown up (ones with most potential strength) Mario should be King Boo maybe Zelda could be Impa because she's sort of relevant to OoT Mega Man: we've had normal and X... how about .EXE? Final Fantasy: I'd be interested in Bahamut still. I think you're right on for SF / MK For your BK_Sheikah00. At least Kupo has class and doesn't MESSAGE the people -Dr Pizza (edited 11/8/2018 11:14:23 PM) |
MoogleKupo141 posted... so who do we think is the stronger pair today? Can Geralt beat Bayonetta next round? I think any existing stats go straight out the window today. Nobody in this eightpack we have numbers on is acting like their previous stats. However, the one thing discussed previously that has me leanings towards Bayo is that these universally known mascot characters like DK, Crash, Spyro, and Pac-Man have been doing really well, so Bayo getting by Pac-Man might be the more impressive of the two showings today. 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 |
Pac-Man's going to be Bayonetta's strongest opponent till Auron decks her book it. No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Yeah,
I still like Bayo next round, but who really knows. The upper half of
this division was always up in the air and nothing we've seen has
provided any clarity about it. |
Geralt
finally gets the lead over 200. Could be Europe at work. I think if
Simon can keep this relatively close until morning, he's got a shot. (edited 11/8/2018 11:42:23 PM) |
Hey, why isn’t Corsica on the voter map of France? >unironically playing video games |
LeonhartFour posted... I think if Simon can keep this relatively close until morning, he's got a shot. Why are people expecting a Castlevania character of all things to have a good morning/day vote? Geralt easily beat a Nintendo character during that time period last round. If Simon wants any chance he has to get a couple hundred vote lead by morning. i7 7700k, RTX 2070, 12gb DDR4 Playing: Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4), Fallout 76 (PC) |
It's
not so much Castlevania having a good day vote (although Alucard did
much better during the day than at night against Yuna and held his own
against Peach). It's just that Geralt is going to do his best work while
Europe is the predominant voting population, so Simon will be
relatively better once America wakes back up. although looking back at the trend charts Geralt really took off right about now and never let up until the end of the match against Rosalina and Hayabusa outgained Simon outright from 6 A.M. on so the odds aren't in his favor either way |
Western
AAA characters almost always do their best work during the day. Kratos
gained 1% from 6 AM to the end in his match against Pikachu. Drake
gained almost 1%. Same with Ezio, Shepard, Joel, Ellie and Dragonborn.
If these guys are anywhere close going into the day they're gonna win
their match. i7 7700k, RTX 2070, 12gb DDR4 Playing: Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4), Fallout 76 (PC) (edited 11/9/2018 12:05:08 AM) |
And theres .20% gained in 2 updates for Geralt, including a 75% update in one of them. He'll probably end up around what Bayonetta gets on Pac-Man... so it ends up being who do you think would win between Pac-Man and Simon? i7 7700k, RTX 2070, 12gb DDR4 Playing: Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4), Fallout 76 (PC) (edited 11/9/2018 12:26:39 AM) |
Geralt is the strongest in Europe and the weakest in America, so this period we had now should be his strongest one. He was stalling Simon when the match started though, so I don't really see Simon cutting this back. |
ZeldaTPLink posted... Geralt is the strongest in Europe and the weakest in America, so this period we had now should be his strongest one. I mean, people say that. He had 3% less in US compared to his overall percentage to Rosalina yet gained 1.5% on her from the morning vote to the end. He just starts off so badly in the early vote that he just gains it back the rest of the match, like any other Western AAA character. So while yeah it looks like a 50-50 match in the first couple hours, but it really isn't a 50-50 match once you get out of those early hours. i7 7700k, RTX 2070, 12gb DDR4 Playing: Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4), Fallout 76 (PC) (edited 11/9/2018 2:36:47 AM) |
Geralt for Smash DLC Come watch me on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/gameryogi |
Can someone explain to me wtf happened to Riku OR Pac-Man? "i am pretty sure 3-year old children would generate more thoughtful discussion than board 8 on any topic of sexism" - Naye745 |
The two biggest boosts this contest seem to be Smash and Iconic characters from 20+ years ago. Pac-Man gets both of these. Conformity
and rebellion...both ways are simple-minded--they are only for people
who cannot cope with contradiction and ambiguity. |
The only year Riku was strong was the year KH2 came out. He's always kinda sucked other than that. |
LeonhartFour posted... The only year Riku was strong was the year KH2 came out. He's always kinda sucked other than that. Bayo vs Riku battle of the subpar females |
unfortunately for Riku only one of them was subpar and only one of them was female |
LeonhartFour posted... unfortunately for Riku only one of them was subpar and only one of them was female Yet Riku managed to be both 🤔 Interesting take Leon |
the real interesting take is someone is still making the "bishonen boy is a girl hehehehe" joke in 2018 |
The
iconic boost is probably just Pac-Man Apathy Factor due to being forced
to vote in all 4 matches. It would be interesting to see how the icons
would do without that requirement. "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima BKSheikah won Guru, but you know that. |

So long as Skull kid keeps Majora’s Mask in every picture he’s gonna be a solid character Warning: I'm literally VeryInsane. |

I actually nominated Shao Kahn..... and Baraka but I knew he had no chance in hell to make it in the contest. http://www.change.org/petitions/nintendo-give-waluigi-a-chance-in-the-spotlight Let's try giving Waluigi a chance in the spotlight! 2,400+ supporters!

Leaderboard
baby! I am happy! Of course I picked Sora to win the division! But yeah
I am happy that at least I am there even for a day. I think I managed
to do that in all recent contests, but I am not sure. Anyways came back
from work, checked the results. Geralt is winning but he is losing by a lot in USA. Man Americans destroy everything. Why is Pac-Man so strong? Yeah Iconfaqs but still! Vincent with above 43%? Didn't expected that. Sub-Zero is the only match that makes sense. Barely a doubling. So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |
Geralt is going to win 3 matches? that's freaking awesome. A favorable bracket placement but still awesome. ... |
If only it was Trevor Belmont and not Simon. GL/LS with a side of Bow |

Somehow
I'm climbing up the leaderboard in terms of percentile despite getting
matches wrong. Though it's typically only one match wrong a day
(currently at 86 points). I had Bayonetta winning this half division at first, but then I decided that looked wrong, so I picked Riku to win it. Then that didn't feel right to me either, so I picked Geralt. With Bayonetta vs. Riku first I thought Smash + re-releases would be enough, then I remembered how badly Bayonetta 2 did in the games contest and how well the Kingdom Hearts games did. Sora > Red was my gut pick, then I decided to pick Pokémon to score a ton of upsets so I switched to Red, then I decided that didn't look right and switched back to Sora and to Bowser > Charizard. All while sticking with Pikachu and Mewtwo winning their divisions. "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |

I (probably) picked 2B and Geralt's path correctly. I shouldn't have paid attention to stats (or my heart) at all argh. (edited 11/9/2018 8:48:49 AM) |
The
favorable bracket placement, the fact Allen rigged the rules just to
allow him in, the underestimated secret potential of a massive rally... Everything is pointing towards Geralt winning CBX. It has been foretold 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |

part of his plan to pick Geralt to win and deny 99% of the site bonus

Man, Vincent's early vote is so bad All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |
Saw a page in the wiki, seems the other one of the site's favorite companies so far has handled them well in direct matches: Nintendo Wins: Ganondorf vs. Neku Donkey Kong vs. Tidus Master Hand vs. Noctis Charizard vs. Terra Red vs. Sora Square Wins: Aerith vs. Waluigi Auron vs. Lucina Tifa vs. Geno 2B vs. Ness Aerith vs. Captain Toad ALL HAIL! King of the losers! |
Geno is from a jointly made game so i dont think he counts in the same way. "L-Block 2007 Character Battle Champion" Always remember. "L-Block, shaped like a boot to kick your ass" |
