lol @ Ulti completely discounting Kirby

I like Kirby's chances against Bowser. For all we know, 2B impressing could just be Bowser looking like garbage. Bowser and Charizard being trash might also explain Terra all the sudden looking like a solid character for no apparent reason, especially with Kefka looking like standard Kefka here today.

a lot of people are forgetting just how big 2B is in modern gaming among Japanese gaming fans

She was THE waifu for quite awhile even just for design and Nier Automata seems to have a decent playrate anyway on GameFAQs

As far as fan service-type character designs go, I feel like 2B is at the perfect harmony point. She's not pure fan service like Quiet, where all she really has is that appeal. And sexuality is in no way at the forefront of her character like it is with Bayonetta. The design doesn't really distract from her actual function as a character, and some of the more bizarre elements also feature in male characters of the cast, such as the blindfolds.

So, she's attractive, but that's just a testament to her being a well-designed character. And like Bayonetta, I've seen 2B have a lot of die hard fans beside straight men. She's simply appealing to look at, regardless of sexuality.

Of course, after saying all that, I am a gay furry and Bowser is, like, my biggest crush...

...I still voted for 2B because she's just that good.

This has been my take after seeing 2B do so well. Less of the waifu stuff, more “hey, GameFAQs must really like NieR Automata.” I’m sure her design isn’t hurting her, all the same.

It does take a little bit to learn how you should play with the chips and s*** too.
As far as people calling it for Kirby based on his performance today, I think people are already forgetting the beatdown Bowser lay on Gordon and Charizard

Kirby has looked stronger than Bowser since 2008 at least.

Looking forward to a 58% win by Kirby as being explained by a trailer.

Unfortunately, that information isn't available for a "quick" rollup (i.e. something we can generate quickly enough to be displayed on a live page), so we can really only display picks "for" and "not for" the winner.

Maybe post-contest if there's an interest in super-advanced stats, we can build up something for the hardcore contest folks.


I think the dude totally misunderstood the issue with the results display. It shouldn't really be a "super advanced stat" by any stretch.
No problem!

still the offer to give more stats is promising. maybe we can get a breakdown of vote numbers by country instead of just %s or something. would be really helpful for predicting future trends.

The thing about 2B, is if someone like me, who typically avoids weeaboo s***, can enjoy the game, that bodes really well for general acceptance and strength. Nier was my GotY last year, and I had never even heard of the previous games in the franchise.

Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. DpOblivion > Me
The more I think about it, the more I realize 2B and the general design of Nier: Automata really feels like a successor to the Final Fantasy VII and VIII aesthetic. Nier: Automata is cool in the same way those games were in their era. We don't really get big games in that style these days, since Final Fantasy started going down a pretty boy path. She really captures that future-punk, quiet badass charm.

Man, I just realized Squall/Zelda and Fox/Aerith are both Nintendo vs. Square matches that are also happening on the same day. That is gonna be epic.

The reason this is important is because I feel whatever side is favored in a match is also going to be favored in the other. That is, of course, if they don't keep it close.
