KanzarisKelshen posted... I'm just...numb. Has it ever happened to you guys before? Feeling like there isn't any reason to care for the contests anymore? yes Draven and Undertale xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
Jesus
Christ Zelda. Was she even in BotW? I ask because I got pissed at the
lack of dungeons and the durability mechanic and gave up after 5 hours BKSheikah, my hat is off to you. Welcome to the Guru Champions Club lol xstats |
LusterSoldier posted... SuperNiceDog posted...Zelda would pwn Crono so hard right now. So you don't think Zelda can beat Auron? Or you think Sonic will beat Snake. Character Battle X Current Score: 128/160 We Can Do It! |
KanzarisKelshen posted... This match... Yes, this is me like 8 contests ago Either learn to embrace stats or have repeated false hope for your favorite characters Black Turtle did a pretty good job. (edited 11/13/2018 5:03:13 PM) |

Alright. Sorry for sounding arrogant. In your defense Zelda has never looked anything close to Snake before. But Zelda is looking stronger than ever and all MGS characters are looking weaker than ever, so it's a cool theory. That said: http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page If you want to understand contests, spend some time here. |
xp1337 posted... KanzarisKelshen posted...I'm just...numb. Has it ever happened to you guys before? Feeling like there isn't any reason to care for the contests anymore? Funny you mention those Because like, you could say 'it's outside intervention' right? You could think, 'hey, if only we had a '''''real''''' contest this wouldn't happen' But me? I can't. This IS what gamefaqs votes like. So like...how do you walk back from this? Make it better? I can't see a way, short of rally takeovers that will always by nature be temporary. And that's very depressing. Shine on, you crazy diamond. |

BlAcK TuRtLe posted... Jesus Christ Zelda. Was she even in BotW? I ask because I got pissed at the lack of dungeons and the durability mechanic and gave up after 5 hours If you collect the memories, she's actually really prominent. Probably the most well-developed character in the game. Come watch me on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/gameryogi |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... Jesus Christ Zelda. Was she even in BotW? I ask because I got pissed at the lack of dungeons and the durability mechanic and gave up after 5 hours You don't know if Zelda was in the game where she's the very first character to speak to Link and You felt your sins weighing down on your neck. |
KanzarisKelshen posted... This match... An out of nowhere upset that drastically changes the tiering of elite characters based solely on natural strength instead of bulls*** rallies is what kills the contest for you? This is the best result of the contest so far! And to all the Snake naysayers, remember that he is also in smash, meaning if anything he should have also boosted again. BKSheikah, my hat is off to you. Welcome to the Guru Champions Club lol xstats |
KanzarisKelshen posted... This match... I feel the same Kanzaris. A useless character like Zelda killing Squall is so bad. "save me!" that's all she does in those Z games. Pathetic. Meanwhile Squall is saving the world in his game. Taking names and doing it with attitude. Being a leader. Giving brave speeches. GJ BK_Sheikah |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... Jesus Christ Zelda. Was she even in BotW? I ask because I got pissed at the lack of dungeons and the durability mechanic and gave up after 5 hours From what I heard this was the best Zelda ever. Like, Leon said he didn't like Zelda before and now he's forced to admit he likes her and would vote for her in matches. |
snake_5036 posted... BlAcK TuRtLe posted...Jesus Christ Zelda. Was she even in BotW? I ask because I got pissed at the lack of dungeons and the durability mechanic and gave up after 5 hours I don't remember that. Was she a ghost? BKSheikah, my hat is off to you. Welcome to the Guru Champions Club lol xstats |
SuperNiceDog posted... "save me!" that's all she does in those Z games. Pathetic. SuperNiceDog admits he has never played a Zelda game in his life. |
The Owner of FF9 posted... So you don't think Zelda can beat Auron? Or you think Sonic will beat Snake. Zelda would definitely beat Auron based on today's match. I don't see Sonic being able to beat Snake. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
My
contest ennui moment was all the way back in 2008 when a last minute
Crono "rally" pushed him over Vincent, costing me a potential guru win
(granted, this depends on Cloud beating Snake in that circumstance, but I
think it would have happened).Since then I' just along for the ride.
This is one of the greatest results. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh BKSheikah |

https://i.imgtc.com/4RPYMux.gif i made this one in case squall won. if Square Enix can recycle assets then so can I drooling while eating |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... KanzarisKelshen posted...This match... Yes, because I feel completely unrepresented demographically, BT. That's kind of important to me. Shine on, you crazy diamond. |
KanzarisKelshen posted... xp1337 posted...KanzarisKelshen posted...show hidden quote(s)I'm just...numb. Has it ever happened to you guys before? Feeling like there isn't any reason to care for the contests anymore? No, I couldn't say that. In fact, if you read my posts in the stats topics during Undertale you can see that quite clearly. Draven a bit less so, but only because Link gave the greatest contest performance in history but that was very much in spite of Draven. xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
_SecretSquirrel posted... FSABot posted...If Geralt is at 48% at the end of the hour he has enough room to win base on the last 2 rounds. People take the country votes too seriously. People said he wouldn't gain in the day vote because his US vote was bad last 2 rounds i7 7700k, RTX 2070, 12gb DDR4 Playing: Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4), Fallout 76 (PC) |

Dfy556 posted... I deleted my s***tier response. I'll take a look For the record, we're a bunch of stats nerds who study this stuff for fun in the same way that people get way too into Fantasy Football Instead of Fantasy Football, it's Final Fantasy (vs. Nintendo) Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Kanz is just sad that the waifus are beating the husbandos this time around. And Auron, because SOMEONE has to win a match between 2 husbandos. http://www.backloggery.com/whitelens | https://myanimelist.net/profile/WhiteLens Kashikoi Kawaii BK_Sheikah won guru! Harasho! |
Undertale
is probably the only contest I've ever been able to enjoy on a 'fan'
level, simply because something I actually like won for once. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... KanzarisKelshen posted...This match... Snake could have lost a step due to the whole Konami debacle and resulting backlash. Enough to drop him from #2 to #4/5 depending on Cloud's drop. Zelda's current performance has me thinking she could make it way too close for comfort. |
Well that was a random-ass 50+ vote cut for Fox. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
For
the record, while I think Zelda > Snake would be hilarious, I think
Snake is probably fine. Even if the rest of MGS looks bad (and
ironically Zelda here is making The Boss look better) I imagine he'd be
pretty insulated from that. Kind of like Crono has been (mostly) insulated from Magus falling off a cliff in continuous slow motion since 2005. xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
KamikazePotato posted... Dfy556 posted...I deleted my s***tier response. I'll take a look Lol, I can tell. I just remember through the years it always comes down to Link vs Cloud. Those two are bulletproof for whatever reason. But Snake always was strong, Crono too. I think I remember one year Sephiroth kicked everyone's ass though |
I might pick Zelda out of fanboyism. But I still think Snake has it. |
That was one heck of a cut. Wow. Used to be TheOneAboveAll. Forgot my password and had no way to recover it. |
KamikazePotato posted... Undertale is probably the only contest I've ever been able to enjoy on a 'fan' level, simply because something I actually like won for once. Let us never forget the key difference between Draven and Undertale. Undertale was a fantastic game getting rallied out of sincere love, Draven was a toxic community invasion. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh BKSheikah |
WhiteLens posted... Kanz is just sad that the waifus are beating the husbandos this time around. I voted for bayonetta, that's not really a problem It's specifically Squall's match. It really kills my enjoyment because I always loved the fact my favorite FF protagonist was very strong even if he wasn't the strongest. It made me happy to know he could always make some noise (before getting fed to Snake, forever, because...I don't know why, really). But this hurts because it indicates a downward spiral that is not reversible. Characters are not like sports teams, they don't have down years followed by rebounds - they weaken and weaken and weaken unless a very good and respected new game comes out to make them strong. And that's not going to happen for Squall because Final Fantasy is not that kind of franchise, so I have no reasonable way of clinging to hope that things will get better. It's a very bitter pill, really. Even if Mario (my other big beloved character) got the most unreal boost ever out of mario odyssey and scored 48% on Link, it wouldn't compensate the fact I know Squall's super finished now. KamikazePotato posted... Undertale is probably the only contest I've ever been able to enjoy on a 'fan' level, simply because something I actually like won for once. I liked Draven winning just because I was involved with it, but Undertale making something happen was a very happy moment for me because that game literally helped me fix a years-old broken friendship. I guess the other shoe had to drop sometime, maybe? Shine on, you crazy diamond. (edited 11/13/2018 5:16:52 PM) |
KamikazePotato posted... Well that was a random-ass 50+ vote cut for Fox. Probably some Discord rally or something. If all else fails use fire. |
LusterSoldier posted... The Owner of FF9 posted...So you don't think Zelda can beat Auron? Or you think Sonic will beat Snake. Wellllllll then it's very likely Zelda will face Sonic! Character Battle X Current Score: 128/160 We Can Do It! |
Lightning Strikes posted... Also Undertale won fair and square while there was nothing fair about that site outage. Except when Undertale was losing, so its Reddit mods sticked a thread saying "don't invade the GameFAQs contest" 9/2/2013, the day Reddit hacked GameFAQs http://ibin.co/2Q0B4x43LQ0L (edited 11/13/2018 5:20:32 PM) |
Geralt is making this a match. |
This
match isn't the most shocking of the contest imo, not even close. We
were already primed for it between The Boss vs Zelda and Ganondorf vs
Dante. I had Zelda with about 59%. She probably ends not too far off
that. No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

Now I want to see the reaction of someone whose favorite character is Kefka. |
Go Geralt! Character Battle X Current Score: 128/160 We Can Do It! |
I will forever hold a grudge against Undertale and Smash for ruining what looked to be an amazing CT/OoT match. KanzarisKelshen posted... Characters are not like sports teams, they don't have down years followed by rebounds - they weaken and weaken and weaken unless a very good and respected new game comes out to make them strong. man too bad CT was stabbed in the back by rallies or we might have had the most incredible counter-example to this xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
Not_Wylvane posted... Now I want to see the reaction of someone whose favorite character is Kefka. Kefka fans' reactions over the years: https://media.tenor.com/images/d7af13ea3c50679a886d7aeaf2d0fdc0/tenor.gif Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Chrono Trigger is the only regret I have about I have about 2015. Than again, this site deserved it for not letting Dark Souls break 30% on LTTP. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Motherf***ers I learned this lesson in Two thousand f***ing three, get on my level. |
KanzarisKelshen posted... WhiteLens posted...Kanz is just sad that the waifus are beating the husbandos this time around. Of course FF characters get new games, as well as rereleases. Squall has had a ton of appearances since FFVIII and I think those keeping the games and the characters relevant is part of why they have stayed strong. Lately though, honestly, Square has been a wreck. That company is in an absolute state right now, the worst since 2001, and I think it has reflected on their characters here. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh BKSheikah |
Lightning Strikes posted... KanzarisKelshen posted...WhiteLens posted...show hidden quote(s)Kanz is just sad that the waifus are beating the husbandos this time around. I agree, but wait, what happened in 2001? I feel like Square was going strong til FFXIII. Character Battle X Current Score: 128/160 We Can Do It! |
Agreed We had a thread discussing how much of a trash fire Square's been a little while ago over the cancellations to the FF15 DLCs It's possible Squall might rebound once Square cleans up it's act I hope that's true but man...it's gonna be a long, long wait, isn't it? Shine on, you crazy diamond. |
In 2023 Master Hand will beat Squall. |
The hope for Squall fans is to ride the Zelda train all the way imo. We'll look back and say damn Squall held up well after all! |
