@ShatteredElysium True that. But as you know since most votes come from USA they decide the results. HOWEVER in this contest we had 3 matches where a character won in USA but lost eventually. Strange.


Whats the ratio of USA vs rest of the world? Does anyone have the stats for that


It's been a while but the US is responsible for around 58-60% of the vote, Canada is at around 10-12%. Europe is 17-18% (with the UK accounting for 7-8%)
CBX - Today's Winners: Luigi, Mega Man X, Sephiroth, Ryu

Having never played anything but older Megaman games I always assumed megaman characters had no personality / character development


They don't. They are essentially non-characters, which is what this site tends to go for lol

As opposed to the wealth of personality that Tifa 't*** McGee' Lockhart is known for? X has a pretty complicated struggle with pacifism versus the fact that the world needs him to f*** s*** up every once and a while. Tifa has...... daddy issues?

Also, 1pm now, the stalling will stop and X will begin to take off. Again, these trends are set in stone and were never in question

Comebacks of 500 votes is nothing.....says Undertale and Draven.


I meant a comeback of 500 without rallies haven't happen in a while.
Obviously, with rallies you can make 10k comeback but that's not the normal match limit.
In that contest, I think the biggest comeback was 250 or so
ExThaNemesis 11/15/2018 10:06:06 AM#455
LMFAO extrapolating the exactly zero words X says through his games into a struggle with pacifism in order to manufacture some character onto him is incredible.

And yeah, no one is saying the trends weren't obvious, but I never thought Tifa was gonna be able to come back and make it close after the lead X went out to last night.

Yes, MMX needs a miracle to beat a Square character, those plucky underdogs who always win close matches.

Tifa is a good character but X backstory (and his story in Mega Man Zero but I know no one is voting him because of that) is good

44% of the Guru took Aerith and 32% took Fox, so I'd say that's debatable.

Zero probably has more overall character development than X, but across the MMX series and the MMZ series there's quite a bit that happens to them

X being the first robot to be able to think for himself and Dr. Cain using him as the base to create all Reploids and the guilt X feels for playing a part in their creation after they begin going Maverick.

The constant friend/rival relationship he has with Zero culminating in their duel to the death in X5

X becoming a pacifist and refusing to fight afterwards until being forced to rejoin the fight and finally ending maverick wars for good and then eventually sacrificing his body to seal the Dark Elf in the Mega Man Zero games and converting his conscience to a cyber elf to look over Zero and help him along the way

Then there's Copy X who was the villain of most of Zero games who is a separate character but was created with X's DNA but he's a separate character. I did enjoy potentially having X as the villain though (which was the original plan for the Zero games)

It's Nintendo vs. Square. If it's debatable, Nintendo wins about 90% of the time. It's been this way since 2005.

Ugh

Looks like there's a relatively successful MMX rally on reddit that's probably making the difference here
Congrats to BKSheikah for winning the BYIG Guru Challenge!
I am a European X voter. Mega Man X is awesome. As a character he is great, he has far more to him than regular Mega Man, who is just a mascot (albeit a very likable one - there is nothing wrong with mascot characters). It always disappointed me that classic Mega Man, including the X series, never caught on in Europe which is weird because they all came out here. I don't think it's right of ExTha to just dismiss X's character development, part of what the X series did to distinguish itself from the main series was have much more developed story and characters. There's a reason that Zero is so much stronger than any non-Mega Man characters, including Proto Man, for instance. I'm not saying it's high art but it's all very enjoyable and was impressive for that kind of game at that time.
I just decided to change this sig.

Haha, yeah, I kinda feel like there is always one match every year that makes people forget this, and then everyone gets upset that Nintendo always dominates. I feel like those demographics shifted a looooong time ago.

Yeah
My only childhood knowledge of Mega Man was playing the first one on NES (and it was Rock Man, too)
It was one of my favorite games on the NES, together with Super Mario Bros and Little Samson

Years later when I had Internet I started messing around with GBA roms and tried playing them on order. Mega Man Battle Network was the third ROM behind Super Mario Bros Advance and F-Zero
I didn't know it at that time but after I saw Fire Man I started thinking how it's similar to the game I loved a few years ago and researched it
Then I fell in love with the series all over again, and it's currently my second-favorite franchise behind Pokemon

And this is without even childhood nostalgia for MM2 or MMX
