pjbasis posted... The hope for Squall fans is to ride the Zelda train all the way imo. this will look great for squall once zelda puts up 58 on snake and 61 on cloud xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |

Doesn't change how I feel in the slightest. BKSheikah, my hat is off to you. Welcome to the Guru Champions Club lol xstats |
Guys just imagine how strong Link is right now Does he put 66% on Cloud? |
I think current Link gets like 55% on 2013 Draven. 60% if no DDoS. 70% if no DDoS or vote stuffing. |
ZeldaTPLink posted... Guys just imagine how strong Link is right now Hell, he's gonna 69 Cloud. |
(the post above is like 70% joke) |
ZeldaTPLink posted... Does he put 66% on Cloud If he makes it over 55% on Cloud then he has to be retired permanently and only be in a post-contest bonus poll with whoever wins that contest He would genuinely be unstoppable without a rally You felt your sins weighing down on your neck. |
Who are your favorite characters, out of curiosity? Shine on, you crazy diamond. |
KanzarisKelshen posted... This match... Yeah. Draven. It's like paying for bubble wrap. -transience on Final Fantasy: All the Bravest |
snake_5036 posted... ZeldaTPLink posted...Does he put 66% on Cloud Considering Cloud may have weakened himself that is likely. |
the only thing getting me down about the contest this year is the pathetic vote totals Character Battle X Current Score: 128/160 We Can Do It! |
Yeah,
maybe I come at this a bit differently since most of my favorite games
and characters are like niche and would get wrecked by even fodder line
entrants. I think you'd have to go fairly deep into a Top # list of my
games/characters to find even a midcarder here. See what happened to Estelle? She's probably one of the luckier cases for me! So the contests are like their own little universe to me. In some cases (mostly Link) my enjoyment of them is entirely separate from their actual character and more because I just find his obscene dominance funny. Kind of like Alabama in College Football to use a real life analogue. xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |

I'll bite. Some of my favorite characters and their most recent results are: Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid series) - Actually strong but always comes up short in the end Francis York/Zach Morgan (Deadly Premonition) - Around 20% vs. Lugia Shulk (Xenoblade) - 38% vs. Sub-Zero Vyse (Skies of Arcadia: Legends) - Last result was getting obliterated by Squall or something Velvet Crowe (Tales of Berseria) - 29% vs. Yoshi Raiden (Metal Gear Solid series) - 27% vs. LFFd Link The Nameless One (Planescape: Torment) - LOL Phoenix Wright (Ace Attorney series) - 31% vs. Kirby Kaine (Nier) - LOL James Sunderland (Silent Hill 2) - 38% vs. Velvet You think Squall losing badly one year since 2003 is bad? Get on my level of contest nihilism. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. (edited 11/13/2018 5:35:01 PM) |

You really think Spirits Within was the company's low point? Not having to completely remake their second (SECOND) MMO? Character Battle X Current Score: 128/160 We Can Do It! |
Spirits Within was literally the low point of Square, seeing as how it pretty much killed the actual company. https://imgur.com/M1heX2g RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Xenosaga III making a GotD vote-in was basically my Super Bowl. it got 4.53%, finished 11th of 12, including losses to world beaters like elite beat agents, ogre battle 64, and lost odyssey xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
that is some very good taste in characters KP, just wanna say that But yeah it's like...I actually really like a lot of those characters too, but I don't have great expectations for them. Like, Phoenix getting doubled by Kirby is fine to me because he's not a guy I expect to do a lot vs the puffball. If he'd gotten doubled by Ike, though, it would've really stung because there was no reason to think it could happen. I guess what I'm feeling here is like a bigger version of that - a lot of my contest enjoyment is predicated on trusting a couple of my faves to do well, but now it's basically just Mario who might be able to do something...and I have that lingering fear from Vivi's victory in 2013 to keep me worried until and unless he comes out and demolishes everybody. If Mario was suddenly beatable by Aeris it'd be really really hard to care about this stuff in any way, really. Shine on, you crazy diamond. |

I'm honestly a lot more upset about Zelda beating Squall this badly than Squall being beat. Like Donkey Kong obliterating him would be kinda funny I'm at the point where Zelda series crap doing so damn well is much more irritating than all of my characters getting blown up No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! (edited 11/13/2018 5:39:49 PM) |

Mega Man, Zero, X has been getting screwed every year since he started in these brackets. Then you have the CT and FF6 crew that have been in a downward spiral for years. BKSheikah, my hat is off to you. Welcome to the Guru Champions Club lol xstats |
@LeonhartFour
sorry I made a gif specifically calling you out and using a post saying
Zelda isn't good in a clutch, I didn't think it would be this much of a
slaughter and the "i'll wait" thing worked too well drooling while eating |
The Owner of FF9 posted... Lightning Strikes posted... Hey, FF14 turned out pretty good after they redid it BKSheikah, my hat is off to you. Welcome to the Guru Champions Club lol xstats |

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/955-east-division-round-1-solid-snake-vs-squall-leonhart This is how Squall performed before KH1 released. With how bad KH has looked, there may be a good reason why FF decline is hurting Squall way more than most other FF characters. (really hoping KH3 is good!) [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO BKSheikah NO PEACE] |
For
as good as you felt about Undertale, I was sitting there scratching my
head as to why it was beating every other game in the bracket which is
better than it BKSheikah, my hat is off to you. Welcome to the Guru Champions Club lol xstats |

I think you'd have to go fairly deep into a Top # list of my games/characters to find even a midcarder here. I've never played a Metal Gear game but I think I'd vote Snake over a lot of things because of contest lore. (And also because he looks cool af) |
KanzarisKelshen posted... same but pokemons Pokemon was humbled this year so yeah. Hated it in 2013 though. No problem with just Pikachu being legit. No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
I think Mario is gonna be fine. I don't see him losing to Cloud or Snake anymore. |
So much for Bayonetta 60/40ing Geralt Maybe I need to give Geralt (and Rosalina) some respect... If everything holds I'll go 4/4 for the first time this round... CBX - Today's Winners: Zelda, Aerith, Bayonetta, Auron Score: 122/160 |
AxemRedRanger posted... https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/955-east-division-round-1-solid-snake-vs-squall-leonhart That's what I was thinking. All the guys that boosted hard with KH have looked bad, stands to reason it's related to Sora and Roku s***ting the bed BKSheikah, my hat is off to you. Welcome to the Guru Champions Club lol xstats |
KanzarisKelshen posted... Though I guess if pokemon is on a downswing now besides pikachu I can live with that probably Nah pokemon is just on a lag between consoles. Watch them get a real Switch game and we go back to 2013 levels imo. |
I
don't have great expectations for them either, but it still doesn't
make it fun! Like during the Velvet match 90% of the topic posts were
"generic female anime girl defeats generic dude man, of course" from
people who have played neither of their games. Doesn't just extend to characters, either. For me the last two games were nightmares in terms of the stuff I wanted to win or do well, actually winning or doing well. Vivi>Mario is perhaps the only contest result ever for me where I was able to truly soak in the result as being this truly amazing experience (Vivi is like #11 on my list, just misses that Top 10). It's stats or bust. Or just attach yourself to random entrants for fun. I'm rooting for Geralt here and I don't even like Geralt. I just want *something* from the west to do okay. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. (edited 11/13/2018 5:45:59 PM) |

KamikazePotato posted... Or just attach yourself to random entrants for fun. I'm rooting for Geralt here and I don't even like Geralt. I just want *something* from the west to do okay. True story these contests are probably like 70% of the reason I like Master Chief so much because I want *something* from the west to do well Also cause his trends are so damn lopsided his matches are a hoot. Even this year he still had em, somehow No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! (edited 11/13/2018 5:47:28 PM) |
pjbasis posted... I think Mario is gonna be fine. I hope so but after 2013, I won't know for sure until I see him kick ass Shine on, you crazy diamond. |
GAME
FUEL year was the only time I've ever cared about Master Chief. Voted
for him in like every match because it was just fun to see him randomly
beasting over everything. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Velvet
is an excellent character, but it's all about managing expectations!
People doubting her in R1 was always silly, IMO, so her putting up 60
was immensely satisfying. Do I wish Yoshi didn't wipe her out that badly? Of course, but that was always going to be an ugly match. xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
man you all talk about contest nihilism but have you tried being a Magus fan "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
ZeldaTPLink posted... Nah pokemon is just on a lag between consoles. I feel like a true Pokemon game on the Switch (next year's game) could be a game changer for the series. It would be the first true mainline game that can be played on a big screen TV, something that people have been wanting for a very long time. But for those who were never into handheld gaming to begin with, I don't see this game getting people on board with Pokemon now that it would appear on a console for the first time. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
I mean I expected Velvet to get obliterated, but that doesn't mean I LIKE Velvet seeing obliterated If you don't particularly care about Nintendo characters and you're just here to see your favorites do well, than these contests mean nothing to you, especially this year Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Kinda sad Geralt is probably the strongest Western character now and he's struggling to beat a midcard i7 7700k, RTX 2070, 12gb DDR4 Playing: Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4), Fallout 76 (PC) |
Janus5k posted... man you all talk about contest nihilism but have you tried being a Magus fan magus has one of the most fascinating contest lores every time you think it can't get crazier it does that sandbag match man. dammit. xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
Janus5k posted... man you all talk about contest nihilism but have you tried being a Magus fan No, because I'm not a masochist Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Honestly my contest nihilism comes from 2013 proving everything new would never hold up. And in a way that predicted it would only get worse as votals decreased as we see now. Maybe a smash deboost could happen in the coming years, but overall I don't see the relative character strengths changing much or at all. These contests are not worth running as often as they used to be. My favorite era had to be the 2007-8 era. It really was able to reflect a good slice of hardcore + broader audience opinions. |
Just looked at these ...welp Congrats to BKSheikah for winning the BYIG Guru Challenge! |
Another character I really like who is often put into situations where he can win: Dante Another one: Tidus Another one: Zidane Another one: Ike, who still gets made fun of even when he wins Vivi is the savior of GameFAQs Contests as far as I'm concerned Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Funny that this was thought to be a debatable match. Dilated Chemist |
pjbasis posted... Honestly my contest nihilism comes from 2013 proving everything new would never hold up. I think 2015 was a lot worse about that. New games looked like total garbage. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
New stuff has won the last two main contests in dominating fashion never before seen. https://imgur.com/M1heX2g RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
