I read that as "least sexiest" and thought "well, he's not wrong".

Least sexist? How old are you?
So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?
I had no other context - just jumped to post 251 on the new page and saw that. And as far as least sexiest people on the planet, he unfortunately is not wrong.

Anyway, I'd expect Pikachu to shoot for 40% tonight well before I'd expect a Link doubling. It's not like Link is seriously threatened anymore, so Pikachu is as good an option as any (perhaps better) to overperform in a vacuum.

He is absolutely wrong, as usual, which is why his posts will never be worth reading.

2/3rds of Americans play video games regularly; we're not talking soccer mom Farmville Facebook game stuff. I can't speak for other first world countries but I'd be surprised if the numbers were much different. Calling that many people not sexy for no reason is just f***ing dumb and shows an unbelievable lack of social skills. People look at the worst examples and assume it applies to all gamers, which is stupid and people who think this probably have little to no human contact off of a computer screen.

A random example: http://evo.shoryuken.com/evo-in-pictures/

Are 2/3rds of the people in these pictures unattractive?

Also one more thing, but addressing XIII_Rocks, implying that the female characters are doing well because of TJF is not only a bit off basis (breasts have rarely if ever been front-and-center of a match pic this contest), but then it assumes that people like these characters primarily for their breasts, which is honestly a little insulting.

Part of me gets the feeling that maybe older gamers develop more appreciation for "strong" female characters? What probably doesn't help is the continued perception from the media that gamers are young boys, and young boys at least used to be the kinds of people who would go like "eww, cooties!" or "is this a kissing book?", thus why there's this continued assumption from the press that gamers are sexist, when in reality gamers as a group might be among the least sexist people on the planet.

Also I will never understand how Sephiroth once defeated Mario with more than 61%. Gues all FF 7 fans left the site.

By the way, I am out of the leaderboard (after peaking at #6)
I must give credit to everyone that is still there and doing well at this point
To be honest, the main bracket was a cakewalk, really

But now, the deeper we get into the contest, the harder to stand out. And it was true for every contest..but now, thanks to the losers bracket, it's harder than ever
A wrong pick can cause a chain reaction of A LOT of wrong picks, some matches that you would pick otherwise if the winner was there instead
So, good job people!

Don’t worry Nanis. Nobody is falling off this day. People who got these two right aren’t on there currently nor have a shot at winning.
TJFAQs is real!

Mario had better hope the sprite round is still in effect for winners'; I don't think he can beat ZSS right now!

...Actually I have no clue what the best pic for Samus would be. The classic Varia Suit look is the most iconic and Samus being female hasn't been a twist for about 3 decades. But I definitely think that the sprite round helps Mario; his SMB1 sprite (or would it be an arcade sprite?) is pretty iconic, while Samus's M1 sprite is not that great.

so uh

maybe Zelda's the #2 on this site now

Unfortunately, I don't think she can ever out-hierarchy Samus and Mario despite the innate LoZ advantage. Guess we'll see soon!


Tough to say. We've seen Zelda face both of them before, though she's never faced Mario 1v1. She managed to advance in second place behind him until Link joined the fray, though, so she didn't collapse.

So will WR2 also be a sprite round? 'Cause that would totally be fine since it has no characters in common with LR1 and everyone in the round has usable sprites.
If all else fails use fire.

I still don't understand how Tifa at the start was ahead in percentage but in most hours after that they go 50-50.


Sephiroth's early vote is legendarily bad, but this time it was too bad for him to recover from.

Actually Zelda advanced behind Mario in Round 1, then fell to third when Mega Man X showed up.

I have a gripe with Pika's sprite, not because of it not being Red/Blue (although that would've been cooler and more iconic), but because it looks weird, at least comparing it to his standard sprite in Pokémon RSE.

The pattern I see here is that everyone had to be 16-bit this time around, right? Although I'm not a fan of ALttP's "kiddy" Link either. If anyone's benefiting from their sprites this time around they would be Cloud and Crono.
Here lies the sig of BK_Sheikah00, who swore fealty to the Gurus of Board 8.
(edited 12/2/2018 1:15:29 PM)report
I don't know sprite pic theory but I think Cloud looks cool here. If this was bad I'd be more worried since sprite Crono is a classic.
Also watch Pikachu overperform due to Sore Thumb Factor. This is 4-way Kirby all over again.

Pikachu would be lucky to hit 35.

Also if any Nintendo character was to hit 40 it would be another Pokemon that’s on some stupid bandwagon like missingno

Link is gonna have bad contrast.
I mean in theory Allen should be able to notice that on his own but I guess submitting green backgrounds for Link is not a good idea.
Does it matter?

We could have wand of gamelon pics of Link and he’d still win this.

If anything we should submit as many bad pics of Link as possible.
