Oh wait..what
Just realized I am in the top 55 (and once again not on the leaderboard because I finished my bracket in the last few days)
I don't know how much having 3/4 here will drop me...

I have Waluigi>Fox here, of all the matches to get wrong...

No one cares. And you’ll never make the leaderboard.

Congrats @Nanis23

Hahaha
Serves him right

Mega Man X is my favorite MM game, but all my appreciation for that goes straight to Mega Man. MMX is kind of a loser sometimes, giving him a personality was a mistake.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
Yeah, I love the MMX series, but I don't know that I'm a huge fan of X himself.

This has been a perfect bracket for me just need Luigi to beat X.

In regards to MMX vs Captain John Price. That result is just strange no matter how you look at it. Even if MMX is weaker than Mega Man, that still puts John Price way higher than it feels like he should be.


He just had strength. Modern Warfare 2 was the reigning Game of the Year afterall.

Oh damn Tifa what are you doing ..I didn't think she could win but at this rate it won't even be close, even after the night vote.

X was neat in MMX's plot

the problem is that MMX also followed the Mega Man rule of 'nothing actually happens in the grand scheme of things' which is okay in a set of games where the plot is just an excuse to blow up robots

At least Nintendo alone (actual Nintendo) can't be blamed for Square's losses. Alucard, Garrus, Knuckles, Crash, Bayonetta, and maybe X have blood on their hands too.
MMX plot (the series) is far more about Zero than X.
Zero in the Mega Man Zero series is way better than Zero in the MMX series, and Zero in the MMX series is pretty great. His design is worse though.

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
Protoman and Zero are the two MM characters worth caring about in general
I have a friend who isn't a super big fan of MM, but he really likes Proto Man. But only because he really liked Proto Man in the 90s Mega Man cartoon series.

Strength comes from all different kinds of exposure, I guess.

he really was the best in that cartoon though
The Mega Man cartoon is legit great.

Also great: The Nintendo Captain N comics, where you have things like the best version of Samus, and Piston Honda telling off the not-yakuza for trying to gank Mac.

But it is close. Just not close close.

I expected X to beat tifa 55-45.
X will continue to gain until 1am or so. Tifa should get some cuts overnight, but shouldnt come close to closing the gap. X continues to build a lead once morning comes.

These trends are so static and obvious I'm shocked that there are still people that don't get it after 15 years.
BKSheikah, my hat is off to you. Welcome to the Guru Champions Club
lol xstats
Tifa's actually closing the percentage gap in Canada, for what it's worth.

I was hoping she could go bigger in the UK though.
She's doing 20% better in the UK than she is overall. Not sure how much higher she's supposed to go than that!
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
I was hoping she could push 70% at least!

but yeah it looks like the MMX stuffer went to make a sandwich or something
Nanis23 11/14/2018 8:30:37 PM#227
It really doesn't look natural but it also not the first time this happened in this contest, can be just random variations and the long-term average will look normal

Are people really trying to say 2010 Red > Zack? Wow.


Zack was always a FRAUD. I mean, it's not like he was even the only FFVII character Mega Man faced that year; we saw that Zack wasn't that far ahead of that year's entry in the "let's throw FFVII characters at the wall to see what sticks" derby. Cid? Didn't stick. The next Character Battle after that one had nearly twice the field size, and Cid wasn't deemed worthy of a second chance. And he more or less went 63-37 with Mega Man, while "Zack Unfair" was held below 38.5%

I won't deny that Red has boosted since 2010, but don't try to convince me that 2010 Zack is anything special. He had a nice run in 2008 taking advantage of FF7 > FFnot7 SFF, and reached R2 in 2010 through the same theory. Couldn't pull it off in 2013 though.

Midgar Zolom is still the best FFVII character that was in a contest
3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066
So I don't take the Oracle seriously, we all know this, but for the 2-3 times per contest we see insane things like this (http://oraclechallenge.com/archives.php?contest=SC2k18&type=match&match=105) it's hilarious to be #1 and still be so hilariously off.

What was the biggest boost for a long time character on these contests anyway? Pikachu? Now Zelda?
3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066
If you go from just one contest to another contest, probably Zelda. Or Cloud/Sephiroth/Squall back in 2003. Pikachu had a more gradual climb.

Strongly approve of the favorable Volnutt placement, but .EXE over X is wild.

and we never actually got to see how strong she was in 2013
Mega Man Battle Network was a great series! If you ignore the second half of it.

I'd say Crash had a big jump. Although it's hard to tell whether he actually is a midcarder now or whether Red/Sora/Big Boss are complete frauds.
congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru
Eh, Zelda did okay against John Marston and lost to Charizard (in auspicious circumstances, but still) who has proven to be a big ole' fraud. I don't think she was any stronger in 2013 than in previous years.

Damn. I was hoping Tifa could make this a match but it looks like she just doesn't have enough. Shame.

yeah but she might have been stronger this year than she was in 2017 because of Smash

so it's possible her gain wasn't just in a single year's time

I wouldn't count Tifa out just yet, her strongest time has yet to come. MMX is definitely the more likely to win though.
...
Well I wasn't saying in just a single year, just from contest to contest

A five years different is enough for a lot of changes to take place, but I don't think any of the characters have exhibited an enormous boost in strength like Zelda has. Everyone has had their ups and downs but so far she looks nuts.

Well, we'll also have to wait to see just how big the boost was once she faces a Noble Niner. Squall looks like he's "just another guy" at this point.

The projections I ran had Squall being around Dante's level right now, and while Dante isn't as strong as he used to be either, Zelda still outperformed Ganondorf by 6% in those matches. That's a big deal!
