Freaking drones, man.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
So are we just throwing out all trends from the first two rounds? That's what this match is teaching us?

DK CUT

RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :(
And Yoshi almost cuts. If Pikachu got a massive board vote advantage, we might be in for a tight match.

So guys

Chole Price xstats after Link lays an SFF beatdown on DK in Legends.
I'll laugh if DK puts away Vivi too
A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice.
I'm honestly disappointed that the 2% DK cut on that update only amounted to 15 votes, but I guess it makes sense this early.
If all else fails use fire.

Chloe is more likely to be behind Link>Ganon SFF of all things.

If that is indeed the case and Link goes for 85%, are we sure that Draven still finishes in last?

hmm, i had Yoshi winning here, but i had Zero taking the division so if he still does its not that bad for me.

Sucks that, after all that Round 2 hype, Ganondorf is going to win this division anyway.

Time for Vivi to beat DK! I mean he beat Mario


Just like that! Minus the 4chan rally and Ganondorf SFF
And that was a killshot by Vivi. Good effort, DK.

Is Ocelots 206 vote comeback over King Dedede the biggest of the contest thus far? Yoshi seemed to do better with the EBV. Hard to not see Pikachu running away with this if this lead keeps growing.
Congrats BKSheikah, BYIG Guru champion!

I do think a character like Pikachu is far better suited to get icon respect from the voters than the other Pokemon such as Charizard or Mewtwo. Pikachu certainly fits the iconic character mold like characters such as Mario or Mega Man. I mentioned this somewhat in my Contest Analysis Crew guest write-up. Here's a partial segment of the write-up I made:

At some point before the contest started, I remember a post from Ulti where he said something along the lines of "Pokemon doesn't seem to get the same kind of love on this site that the rest of Nintendo gets". This was in some topic debating Sora/Red. Ulti seems to have a point here, because Pokemon does seem to be perceived differently from the rest of Nintendo despite being a Nintendo owned IP. I think it has a lot to do with a lot of people quitting Pokemon after Gen 1 or Gen 2 and not returning to the series again. In Charizard/Bowser, Bowser actually did around 1.5% better with registered users. For how well Pokemon does with registered users, Charizard's support with registered users folded when going up against an true Nintendo character. Yoshi/Pikachu is a similar type of match-up. Pikachu's much higher strength compared to Charizard means that it has a better chance of retaining a lot of support with registered users, and Pikachu might also command more respect among people who have quit Pokemon than someone like Charizard or Mewtwo.

He's finally back
To lose 44-56 to Vivi

Wait, wha... how long was on the leaderboard? Damnit, I need to pay more attention. >,<

Another DK cut...

Doesn't seem sustainable, from what we've seen so far.

After the Zelda and Ryu matches things looked great for Ganondorf again, Chun-Li is just strong now I guess.

Vivi might still win because 2013 super Vivi beats Dante by slightly more but we'll see.
I just decided to change this sig.

Just one day. You got on the leaderboard after the Round 2 Division 7 matches.
This was not the best year for my bracket.

So close, Yoshi. You can do this. One cut at a time. (Get that cut, though...)

No, it's pretty much what happened during Bowser/Charizard.

As great as DK has looked this year I still can't see him beating Dante- Vivi is going to have to put in some work overnight if he wants a chance against Ganon next round.

well he was pretty consistent in 2003 and 2004 with his performances on DK and Cloud

I don't know that he was suddenly just exposed for bad fodder by Tifa of all characters


Characters from "lesser" RPGs don't retain strength.

Which is why Persona never wins anything.


Persona does fine in Games Contests! I feel like it suffers from "ensemble cast syndrome", that same dreaded disease that has made Final Fantasy VI that rare game where the main villain is unquestionably the strongest character. (I guess Diablo has that distinction as well, but then again, the villain and the game have the same name. Can't think of any other instances.)

Vivi is the bane of my contest twice now
Most RPGs struggle to have characters that are as strong or stronger than the game they come from. Lloyd is weaker than Tales of Symphonia, Isaac is weaker than Golden Sun, Kefka/Terra despite their boosts are still weaker than Final Fantasy VI, Ramza is weaker than Final Fantasy Tactics, no single Pokemon is as strong as RBY, Sora is very clearly not as strong as Kingdom Hearts 1/2...I could go on. Most RPGs have ensemble casts and the main character is rarely the favorite even if they're representative of the game. The only notable exceptions I can think of are Cloud/Sephiroth, sometimes Auron, and sometimes Squall. Vivi only recently became as strong or stronger than FF9 - before that, the game was clearly stronger than the characters.

Crono is weaker than Chrono Trigger. I wouldn't pick Crono to beat Link, but the game can beat OoT.

There were three Golden Sun games?

We don't talk about Dark Dawn

Well besides the reveal
It wasn't anything special but hearing Reggie mentioning the name "Golden Sun" which was immediately followed by a theme that is very fitting to be a Golden Sun theme, it really got to me
One of the more excited I have been about a game related reveal, alongside Mega Man in Smash and Twilight Princess

https://youtu.be/ggFaBWkXNP8?t=2037

Too bad the game sucked lololololol


It wasn't that bad...! In retrospect. At the time, I thought it was really disappointing, but upon reflecting on it, it was good in its own ways.
"Someday I'll catch up, and then you'll all be surprised!"
BKSheikah has the power. He is the one.
Golden Sun Dark Dawn wasn't terrible but it had issues. I went into that game fully tempering my expectations in that sense that I knew the experience couldn't possibly be as good as the originals were when I was really young, and I was still really disappointed. It had no sense of adventure whatsoever.
