FSABot posted... I think a bunch of this is just Seph sucking now. Tifa vs Seph is gonna be interesting I have MMX > Sephiroth, maybe it can still happen >_> CBX - Today's Winners: Samus and Mario |
redrocket posted... Can anyone explain why Mario never boosted like this off the Galaxy games? Galaxy 1 didn't come out until the 2007 contest wrapped up, then everyone soured on the Wii as a whole by 2008. Galaxy 2 came out Summer 2010 where we were 3 years away from another character contest. PaulG235 | "But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant."

KamikazePotato posted... How in the world did Vivi beat this. Maybe he didn't and Odyssey gave Mario that much of a boost? ""Love"

Aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope." HK-47 |
KamikazePotato posted... How in the world did Vivi beat this. Vivi > Seph clearly Communists |
Also remember Mario will come back down to Earth, it probably ends not too far where many of us thought. CBX - Today's Winners: Samus and Mario |
KamikazePotato posted... Zelda: "Hey guys, I made a statement for myself by getting over 60% on a really strong Square character!" Well played KB |
WarThaNemesis2 posted... redrocket posted...Can anyone explain why Mario never boosted like this off the Galaxy games? As I’ve said before, I don’t think it’s a boost. I think everything else just keeps dropping. These other franchises don’t keep getting new great games like Nintendo and don’t have quite the same nostalgia as the overall Nintendo brand is still strong. |
So fun fact: Mario (2013c) has a strength of 47.13 against Base Link. Sephiroth (2013c) has a strength of 38.89 against Base Link. Mario wins with 58.74% of the vote! Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
WarThaNemesis2 posted... redrocket posted...Can anyone explain why Mario never boosted like this off the Galaxy games? 2005 was pre-Galaxy. Mario never looked quite that dominant again until now, despite the Galaxy games being a huge success. It's like paying for bubble wrap. -transience on Final Fantasy: All the Bravest |

creativename posted... WarThaNemesis2 posted...redrocket posted...show hidden quote(s)Can anyone explain why Mario never boosted like this off the Galaxy games? If everything keeps dropping and Nintendo stays stable, that's basically a boost? I guess technically not if you base things on current Link? https://imgur.com/M1heX2g RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
KamikazePotato posted... So fun fact: I don’t consider that fact “fun” |
Obviously though Zelda herself as a character has boosted. |
creativename posted... How many rally votes was Vivi estimated to get (net)? Quite a few, but still. It's not like 100% of Ganondorf's votes go to Mario regardless. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. (edited 11/29/2018 4:23:09 PM) |
I can only get over Zelda > Snake if Mario wins it all. Last
finished: Splatterhouse 3 (GEN). Splatterhouse 2 (GEN). Splatterhouse:
Wanpaku Graffiti (NES). Friday the 13th (C64). Splatterhouse (ARC). |
KamikazePotato posted... If you give Mario 100% of Ganondorf's votes, Vivi still (currently) has a higher score than Sephiroth does. The Mario/Vivi match had 40k votes when the other matches were getting 30k. |
KamikazePotato posted... creativename posted...KamikazePotato posted...show hidden quote(s)How in the world did Vivi beat this. Well, Seph has yet to be rallied. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to BKSheikah, the winner of the Best Year in Gaming contest. |
lordjers posted... I can only get over Zelda > Snake if Mario wins it all. Unfortunately, 2013 Link is still projected to do better than this. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
lordjers posted... I can only get over Zelda > Snake if Mario wins it all. What if Zelda wins it all? |
Early vote or not, this is f***ing insane for Mario. I wish Luigi would have gotten this kind of boost too, but c'est la vie. Now crack that combination: 27 99 23. |
WarThaNemesis2 posted... creativename posted...WarThaNemesis2 posted...show hidden quote(s)redrocket posted...Can anyone explain why Mario never boosted like this off the Galaxy games? I mean technically yes. But I think his point is that everything tends to drop unless they keep getting great games, and only Nintendo does that. Unless your name is Crono that is. |
Wow 11.06% of brackets took Zelda > Snake normally but only 7.67% of second chance brackets took Zelda > Snake. I guess people weren't impressed by what they saw? congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru |
You know, people might say Tifa can't be hentai rallied against Samus because she will be Hentai SFF'd by her Let me just remind you, people said the same thing about Undertale and Pokemon RB Go, Futanari! 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
So
do we still think Samus is as strong or stronger than Mario indirectly?
If so, doesn't that mean Tifa might be as strong as Sephiroth? Congrats to 2017 Guru champ BKSheikah! |
squexa posted... Wow 11.06% of brackets took Zelda > Snake normally but only 7.67% of second chance brackets took Zelda > Snake. I'm starting to doubt those numbers. |
ZeldaTPLink posted... squexa posted...Wow 11.06% of brackets took Zelda > Snake normally but only 7.67% of second chance brackets took Zelda > Snake. Yeah is it the same shenanigans where the 11.06% also includes Squall > Snake or something. This doesn't make any sense at all otherwise. congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru |
TheCodeisBosco posted... Early vote or not, this is f***ing insane for Mario. I wish Luigi would have gotten this kind of boost too, but c'est la vie. I still haven't forgiven Nintendo for not making him playable in Odyssey. Mario slaying Sephiroth over here while Luigi dies with a whimper against Tifa. No respect for Mr. Green The official Dr. Mario of the Super Smash Brothers Ultimate Board. If you will not fight, you will meet your destiny. |
FinaIFantasy posted... lordjers posted...I can only get over Zelda > Snake if Mario wins it all. Doubt it. But, at least it'd be better than Pikachu. Last

Damn, Mario showing no mercy I guess the only people who vote in the polls anymore are hardcore Nintendo fans. Everyone else stopped voting. ... |
Searched on YouTube for Snake Zelda (mostly that Brawl codec), and found out something that went as bad for Snake as our poll. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDlgc63O6po ALL HAIL! King of the losers! |
WarThaNemesis2 posted... creativename posted...WarThaNemesis2 posted...show hidden quote(s)redrocket posted...Can anyone explain why Mario never boosted like this off the Galaxy games? Well it’s a question of predicting the future. Firstly these waifus seem to do pretty well. That kind of goes against the Nintendo boosting narrative. Secondly it’s a question of franchise revival. Let’s say by some miracle the FF7 remake is absolutely beloved and a massive hit (never going to happen). This would lead to those guys gaining in strength, without Nintendo dropping. You’d expect Seph to beat Snake again. Whereas if there was a new MGS game with Snake and it was a massive beloved hit, you’d expect him to beat Zelda even if she doesn’t drop. So when comparing across years, it very much makes a difference if it’s a Nintendo boost or everything else drop, even though within a single contest it’s functionally the same. |

redrocket posted... Can anyone explain why Mario never boosted like this off the Galaxy games? The wii and wii u sucked ass. |
FinaIFantasy posted... lordjers posted...I can only get over Zelda > Snake if Mario wins it all. Mario is getting 60+ on sephirtoth. He will murder Zelda. I can’t wait until we see a losers final between cloud and Mario Mario will relive his sunshine moment and beat Cloud once again. It will be glorious. |
squexa posted... ZeldaTPLink posted...squexa posted...show hidden quote(s)Wow 11.06% of brackets took Zelda > Snake normally but only 7.67% of second chance brackets took Zelda > Snake. That's not how it worked. The shenanigans earlier was when they were showing numbers next to both names, the loser had all the brackets that picked wrong, regardless of whether their pick was in the match. I wanted to discuss this also. Like, can you really picture someone watching what Zelda did to Squall and Aerith and the Boss, watching Big Boss and Ocelot disappoint relative to expectations (I'm not even counting Quiet in there; there's nothing to be gained from analyzing fodder vs. fodder matches), and saying "eh, maybe I gave Zelda too much credit; better switch to Snake. The obvious answer is that Zelda's initial support was disproportionately concentrated among the minimum 1509 bracketmakers that didn't make a Second Chance Bracket, and that she didn't gain as many believers as we thought with that run because Snake is just that well respected now. (Minimum based on the highly unlikely event that every Second Chance bracketmaker also made a main bracket.) "Someday I'll catch up, and then you'll all be surprised!" BKSheikah has the power. He is the one. |
Good job complaining about a picture and blaming me for Mario’s loss, guys. I see Board 8 is as smart as ever. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |
Mario might finish below Samus by the end |
TheCodeisBosco posted... Early vote or not, this is f***ing insane for Mario. I wish Luigi would have gotten this kind of boost too, but c'est la vie. Maybe he did? If he’s worth 49 on Tifa. That’s impressive |
Good showing for Samus. Hilarious showing for Mario. https://youtu.be/PhciLj5VzOk I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh BKSheikah |
So of the 438 that picked Zelda in 2nd chance, 339 are still perfect? Impressive. (I'm in the 99, as I had MM). ~ Ringworm ~ Congrats to BKSheikah - Guru champion - Best Year in Gaming |
UltimaterializerX posted... Good job complaining about a picture and blaming me for Mario’s loss, guys. If it weren’t for your pic Mario would be doubling Sephiroth right now! |
Anyone who took both Pikachu and Zelda has balls of f***ing steel. Tenfold if they actually had that in their MAIN bracket. Now crack that combination: 27 99 23. |
Yuri_LowelI posted... TheCodeisBosco posted...Early vote or not, this is f***ing insane for Mario. I wish Luigi would have gotten this kind of boost too, but c'est la vie. You may be right, I think I just got my hopes too high for MY BOY. I really thought he'd win his division and not be too threatened doing it. Now crack that combination: 27 99 23.

damn tifa is starting to look terrible here >_______________> |
SlugSh0t posted... damn tifa is starting to look terrible here Or samus is looking incredible. Shame she has Mario next. I expect her to challenge cloud actually for that losers final pick.....in which she’ll still probably lose to mario again. (edited 11/29/2018 5:28:34 PM) |
This isn't much higher than what Samus is projected to do. People forgot how strong she is. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. (edited 11/29/2018 5:29:27 PM) |
I really regret having faith in Seph in the loser bracket. I picked him to lose here but go far later. Whoops. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |
It won't mean much in the long run, but I think Zelda has a great shot at outperforming Samus against Mario. Yoblazer https://imgur.com/gByqgPg |
Mario
with 60% on Sephiroth might be the best thing in any contest ever. On
the other hand, Mario is probably still going to get roasted by Link,
haha. |
heroicmario posted... Mario with 60% on Sephiroth might be the best thing in any contest ever. On the other hand, Mario is probably still going to get roasted by Link, haha. Link is also stronger. Probably the strongest he’ll ever be. A lot of Nintendo characters are. |
