CaptainOfCrush posted... It won't mean much in the long run, but I think Zelda has a great shot at outperforming Samus against Mario. She should easily be able to. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |

Is the ganondorf Megaman match tomorrow? Or do we have a one day break? |
Ganondorf vs Mega Man is tomorrow. There aren't any more breaks. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
Ganondorf/Mega Man and Bowser/PLAN are tomorrow iirc https://imgur.com/M1heX2g RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
redrocket posted... Can anyone explain why Mario never boosted like this off the Galaxy games? Separate of any perceived quality, Odyssey has been more substantial in occupying mind space with people than Galaxy did. It calls back to Mario 64 for people—and it has that same reach as well. And then, obviously, people are pretty hyped up on Smash, though that seemingly hasn’t their everyone the same. |
Mario Odyssey has also already sold about as well as Galaxy 1 ever did. [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO BKSheikah NO PEACE] |
heroicmario posted... redrocket posted...Can anyone explain why Mario never boosted like this off the Galaxy games? Also the systems they’re on. Back during the wii and wii u era Nintendo weren’t the most popular. Give odyssey 5 years. It won’t be on this pedestal it is now. I still think galaxy 2 is better |
i mean Sephiroth's doing alright considering we haven't seen the guy in a big release in what...thirteen years? I expected him to get doubled or worse. if Kingdom Hearts fell off a cliff, wouldn't all the FF guys that boosted from KH, drop with them? I owe it to y'all, DpOblivion and BKShiekah. Congrats on your brackets! |
Ytterbicide posted... if Kingdom Hearts fell off a cliff, wouldn't all the FF guys that boosted from KH, drop with them? Yes, I think that theory was tossed around when Squall got destroyed by Zelda. A lot of that result was Zelda boosting, but Squall clearly dropped as well because he did worse against Zelda than Aerith did. Traditionally, Squall would have beaten Aerith in a direct match in every single year except for 2002, 2003, and 2018. KH's epic collapse on this site over the past years may be why characters like Squall have felt the pain more than most of the other FF characters since he boosted from Kingdom Hearts. Cloud and Sephiroth seem to be weaker as well. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
Ulti do you ever rally the good character in a match Started from the bottom now we here (edited 11/29/2018 8:49:51 PM) |
Meh.
Snake losing and Mario 60-40ing Seph has officialy wrecked my second
chance bracket already despite getting Pikachu > Mega Man. Had both
Cloud and Snake > Mario. Whoops. |
KamikazePotato posted... How in the world did Vivi beat this. He didn't. 2013 Mario was probably quite a bit weaker. Mario pretty much goes as Nintendo goes. This site is super high on Nintendo right now, and thus Mario is super high. We weren't in 2013. |
also that Tifa pic is terrible I thought only the background was supposed to be blurry for no reason |

@Yuri_LowelI posted... redrocket posted...Can anyone explain why Mario never boosted like this off the Galaxy games? Quite the contrary, the Wii and Wii U had plenty of great games. Give 'em a shot! The Big Problem with the Pokemon anime: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/217-pokemon/75265633 |
LeonhartFour posted... Division 6 If anyone had told me pre-contest that Geralt would even break 40% on Sonic without a significant rally, I would have had a quality laugh at their expense. |
_Dog_ posted... @Yuri_LowelI posted...redrocket posted...show hidden quote(s)Can anyone explain why Mario never boosted like this off the Galaxy games? I’m talking about public perception. |
MetalmindStats posted... LeonhartFour posted...Division 6 Why? With low votals and geralt being polar in the mainstream it would be difficult to break 60 on the guy unless you’re a top 5 elite. |
Man Mario is crushing this. He's doing what Sephiroth did to him before. The Bowser result didn't look good for Crono > Mario based on the traditional 58/42 ratio of Mario to Bowser and this confirms it. Supposing Seph ends at 41 and Cloud is worth 56% on Seph, and Mario/Crono goes 53/47 as the Bowser match suggests, and... Cloud/Crono is shaping up to be a 50/50 match. September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
Oh
the registered user bonus....no wonder Nintendo is crushing it this
contest. Registered users have always been even more pro-Nintendo than
the rest of the site. September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
red sox 777 posted... Oh the registered user bonus....no wonder Nintendo is crushing it this contest. Registered users have always been even more pro-Nintendo than the rest of the site. Pfft, Snake won registered users over Zelda. The LAW simply does not care, it applies equally to all. xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
haloiscoolisbak posted... Ulti do you ever rally the good character in a match |
LusterSoldier posted... Legends and Loser Bracket, Round 1 Oh my! This is huge! The Noble Nine has finally lost a 1v1, 24 hour-match based on the raw vote total! "Ah,
a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is
a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |
Haste_2 posted... LusterSoldier posted...Legends and Loser Bracket, Round 1 And if this Zelda wins isn't just Snake having a mega drop , the next match against Sonic should be the first NN loss that isn't close ! |
Auron and Squall have always been pretty close. If anything, Squall has historically been the stronger one. If you just compare what Zelda got on Squall, to what Sonic got on Auron... Let's just say next round won't be pretty for Sonic. Not changing this sig until Caius Ballad is released in FFRK. |
Snake's last two matches before this contest were giving Draven a small scare and breaking 45% on Link. From that to breaking the Noble Nine, wow. How the mighty have fallen. "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Link/Cloud looks to start the evening of Dec 6. And Smash is Dec 7. The trends should be fun as hell to follow for that one. |
That
is correct, Link/Cloud is going to start on the evening on December
6th. And then hopefully, we get Snake/Samus 2 days later on the evening
of December 8th, assuming Snake can make that far in the Loser bracket. It'll be interesting to see if Snake's strength goes up after the release of Smash. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
Would be kind of hard for his strength to go up, since almost every other character left is also in Smash BKSheikah, my hat is off to you. Welcome to the Guru Champions Club lol xstats |
haloiscoolisbak posted... Ulti do you ever rally the good character in a match Yes. Every time I rally. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |
UltimaterializerX posted... haloiscoolisbak posted...Ulti do you ever rally the good character in a match Draven is an amazing character confirmed 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
Draven
is absolutely, 100% a fantastic character. Hate the League fans all you
want, for good reason, but the characters in the game are solid. Some
are excellent. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... Would be kind of hard for his strength to go up, since almost every other character left is also in Smash There’s no chance. Too many characters in smash for people to care. Guys like Marth get smash boosts. Not people like snake anymore |
LusterSoldier posted... Legends and Loser Bracket, Round 1 Registered voters also favored the Boss over Zelda as well, so maybe they just really like MGS? congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru |
Wow
samus is doing a lot better in Europe than I thought she would. I
expected tifa to bleed her until 56% before rising again but she hasn’t
dipped below 58 and looking at the stats tifa has only had a few brief
moments of stalls and cuts. Seph the same to a lesser degree but mario
is far stronger in Europe now. But the cloud match should be interesting. Cloud still loses to Mario but I’d love to see a Cloud/Samus now. Could be neck and neck. (edited 11/30/2018 6:35:56 AM) |
squexa posted... Registered voters also favored the Boss over Zelda as well, so maybe they just really like MGS? MGS in general has done very well with registered users, so it's not just Solid Snake doing this. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
MGS feels like the kind of thing gaming world would stop caring about but gameFAQs wouldn't. |
Any character would lose relevance after a continued lack of exposure (or worse yet, bad press). Except Samus. Anyway, Sephiroth did well enough overnight to return this to the... bare minimum of respectability, I suppose. I would have even called this an okay performance if the Eight Legends really were supercharged and easily won against Pikachu and Zelda. That clearly isn't the case, though; none of them are riding artificial, one week boosts - this is just Mario's natural strength. Yoblazer https://imgur.com/gByqgPg |
creativename posted... So what’s been the reactions to Pikachu and Zelda winning? Which caused more of a stir? At what points in the match did the rat and Zelda become clear favorites? I presume Zelda became favored quite early. Yeah kinda. BOTW recently came out and did well, so that helps. I always figured Pikachu would beat Mega Man. Mega Man is for old dudes now. New generation doesn't know what it is. But everyone knows Pokemon. |
squexa posted... LusterSoldier posted...Legends and Loser Bracket, Round 1 People on GameFAQs respect legacy and tradition, I think. Solid Snake is better than Zelda, both as a character and as an influence in gaming (not to be confused with Link) so I think that plays a part. However LOZ is just as influential so Zelda gets some of that respect too. MGS is just kinda falling out of relevance. MGS4 was supposed to be the last game, and after 5 came out, and the way it was received... I think a lot of people were ready for MGS to be done. I love the series and I'm a diehard fan, but it is time to let Snake rest. |
We should do register users only tournament. But with 4-5 votes per user and IP. To get a real gauge of who the stronger on this site is. |
Dfy556 posted... squexa posted...LusterSoldier posted...show hidden quote(s)Legends and Loser Bracket, Round 1 Snake hasn’t been relevant since 2014. Add to the fact Kojoma leaving and Konami being ass***s and BOTW influence yeah. Zelda still only won by a hairline. If Kojima was still there and we got MGS6 with solid snake and not big boss then the match wouldn’t be close. |
Will
probably post updated stats later. But for now I'll just say that this
result pegs Samus at both slightly stronger than she was last year and
comfortably the #3 in this division. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
CaptainOfCrush posted... Except Samus. First of all, she at least has continued exposure through Smash. Second of all, she just got a well-received new game. Third of all, she has a great enough legacy that someone like Cloud or Crono just doesn't approach. "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
Dfy556 posted... creativename posted...So what’s been the reactions to Pikachu and Zelda winning? Which caused more of a stir?

Still on the Leaderboard! Came back from work, checked the results. This is what I have to say. 1st match=I can't understand why Samus is so strong. I just can't. Hope Tifa finishes above 40% at least. 2nd match=I was expecting this. I thought Mario would win with around 60% and yeah. If Sephiroth finishes above 40% I will consider this a decent result. So yeah. I am a huge FF fan. In fact my username before the site forced me to change it was Safer Sephiroth 777! Man why the FF 7 remake isn't coming out? Come on! Also the finals will be Link VS Mario it seems. So fun! So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |

Character Battle X Current Score: 232/304 [insert obvious "Snake?!" joke here] (edited 11/30/2018 8:55:46 AM) |
Probably the only place on the Internet that has a board for almost any video game ever released, and it's dying I don't understand this s*** Yes, this place sucks for FAQs now, it's better to check Youtube or wikis for guides, but for discussion there is no better place anywhere 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
