Yuri_LowelI posted...
I mean for Cloud/Samus to end up being competitive that means Cloud would have to destroy MM for him to be strong enough to challenge Samus. So its either A) Cloud destroys MM and then we get a cool Cloud/Samus match or B) We get a cool MM/Cloud match (one of the only two NN match-ups we haven't seen) followed by Samus destroying the winner If Cloud/MM ends up close, that means Cloud has no shot at Samus so I'd root for MM for the lulz. Lopen posted... Link versus Cloud posted...Snake/Sonic changed your mind? Fair enough, I still have it as Cloud>Zelda>MM=Pika>Snake for the moment as Link just distorts everything. Its a shame we likely won't get to see Zelda/Cloud or MM/Snake. LeBron "Stannis" James - The one true king of the NBA |
Team Rocket Elite posted... 18 people fell off the Second Chance Top 50. PlasmaKappa, MarioLinkNES, P4wn4g3, LightningRocks, ScrawlKnight, PlasmaChief16, FreeJazzOutlaw, AughtforNaught, Croire, svr4ever, jorhead, Reg, Ringworm, 1stSamurai, Hajelikto, MAZZ0Murder, Kenri and Ultima_X did not have Snake and Samus winning. I said yesterday that 1 day appearance was it for me, but if a few in the top 50 went for the Cloud upset, I may sneak back on. Not counting on it though. ~ Ringworm ~ Congrats to BKSheikah - Guru champion - Best Year in Gaming (edited 12/6/2018 6:11:08 PM) |
ExThaNemesis posted... For those that don't think BOTW could beat the elite on this site Once, barely, in a morning match immediately after Brawl came out and people didn't know it was trash yet. Melee would beat the s*** out of any game in that series except Ultimate. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |

well if Link = Zelda this makes Squall look great! |
What game is that non-KH Cloud pic from? What sword is that? Character Battle X Current Score: 328/448 "Something about that hedgehog rubs me the wrong way..." |
My guess is that it comes from Dissidia NT. |
LeonhartFour posted... My guess is that it comes from Dissidia NT. Yep. And the sword is Organics. Some fantastic images are in that game. I'm a big fan of alternative costumes getting into these contest images instead of the same old 3.

Yeah that definitely looks really great. I heard the game wasn't though, and I didn't care for the original Dissidia either. Character Battle X Current Score: 328/448 "Something about that hedgehog rubs me the wrong way..." |
HE CAME to TOWN! Oh god. GJ BK_Sheikah |
CaptainOfCrush posted... I feel like BotW would still need to deal with the anti-modern bias inherent on GameFAQs, but it's probably the one game that could overcome it. Sounds about right. Of course, given the infrequency of contests these days, GotD 2010-2019 is probably going to be our next contest of any kind anyway, and I have to imagine it'll be the favorite to win that. Other games likely to finish highly in the next GotD include Skyrim and Mass Effect 2. And...I honestly don't even know what the fourth member of our Final Four would be assuming the bracket is set up properly to get the four best games all alive then. Odyssey? Smash Ultimate? "Someday I'll catch up, and then you'll all be surprised!" BKSheikah has the power. He is the one. |
Persona 5 Joker announced for SSBU. A bit too late to save him, though. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
Hoooooly s*** Nintendo You felt your sins weighing down on your neck. |

No Metroid Prime 4 reveal. Samus is going to have to find some other way past Mario. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
TsunamiXXVIII posted... Other games likely to finish highly in the next GotD include Skyrim and Mass Effect 2. And...I honestly don't even know what the fourth member of our Final Four would be assuming the bracket is set up properly to get the four best games all alive then. Odyssey? Smash Ultimate? The strongest games of 2010-2019 will probably be the following - BotW, SSBU, Skyrim, Mario Odyssey, Mass Effect 2, Kingdom Hearts III, Persona 5, The Witcher 3, Nier: Automata In the case of KH3, it might be a little premature at this point to call it a strong game without the game coming out yet, but it has the potential of being a Top 10 game in the next GotD contest.

If it’s good it will almost certainly be strong. I mean square need something right? FF13 and 15 will be garbage even on gamefaqs Persona 5 will be strong yes. Even stronger if they put it on switch... |
I
don't have much confidence in Persona 5. We seem to always overrate how
strong Persona is every contest, but the series is still really niche.. Instead, I'd suggest A Link Between Worlds as a potential top 10 GotD2 game. congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru (edited 12/6/2018 9:08:54 PM) |
Persona 5 should do okay. The field in GotD will be pretty weak overall. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
Persona
5 was almost doubled by BotW in the 2017 GotY poll, but it should have a
better playrate by the time we get to GotD, so it may be even stronger
by then. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
GotD II, you say? Here, have my mock bracket: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1THs2OxKDopw_OjYpojEKCqyZkK0AtPCH7SGd0bgvzy8/edit As for the biggest contenders, no one's mentioned Dark Souls yet. And after the repeated series fiascos plus Shepard bombing well beyond any expectations, I wouldn't expect Mass Effect 2 to be a true contender. |
LusterSoldier posted... Persona 5 was almost doubled by BotW in the 2017 GotY poll ...*glances at today's match* Are we sure that's even bad? "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
Even at the time I thought that was a great result for P5 |
squexa posted... I don't have much confidence in Persona 5. We seem to always overrate how strong Persona is every contest, but the series is still really niche.. Here is my shot in the dark for the top 10 games in GotD 2. BotW Skyrim FO:New Vegas ALBW Last of Us Witcher 3 RDR2 Dark Souls GTAV Undertale/MGSV/GoW 18' Rally threats are Minecraft/Overwatch/BR games/ Undertale |
LusterSoldier posted... Persona 5 was almost doubled by BotW in the 2017 GotY poll, but it should have a better playrate by the time we get to GotD, so it may be even stronger by then. Yeah doubled by a Zelda game Persona 5 to even be that popular is insane. It sold over a million as well Remember where persona was 10 years ago? Yeah. |
The
biggest wildcard to me is Skyward Sword. On one hand, nobody really
seems to like it, but it is a 3D Zelda game, so there has to be a limit
to low it can go right? congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru |
tgs2 posted... squexa posted...I don't have much confidence in Persona 5. We seem to always overrate how strong Persona is every contest, but the series is still really niche.. Persona 5 would beat a hell of a lot of games on there Also GTAv? Hahaha. Cmon man this GamEFaqs. |

Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
I
imagine Skyward Sword has a chance of getting in just because it's a
console Zelda and because the GotD field will be fairly weak on average. The interesting thing about the next GotD is that we should see 4 mainline Pokemon games (BW, XY, SM, Gen 8) in the contest. The last GotD had GSC, RSE, and DPP in the bracket. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |

To be fair, Groose is only a side character and Midna has always looked pretty terrible as well despite TP being fairly strong. congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru |
So..... Link Mario Samus Cloud 4-ways, final battle. Who wins? September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
I think putting in Mario and Samus is too much LFF for even Link to handle. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |

Eh, Midna's been around the fodder line at worst every year, which is a huge step above ...that. Also, Link wins that four-way, no question about it. |
Yuri_LowelI posted... tgs2 posted...squexa posted...show hidden quote(s)I don't have much confidence in Persona 5.

In a couple years yeah; It is Golden Sun > San Andreas 2.0 in the making |
red sox 777 posted... So..... Link will find a way. You felt your sins weighing down on your neck. |
Cloud (2013c) has a strength of 38.50 against Base Link. Link (2013c) has a strength of 52.23 against Base Link. Link wins with 63.14% of the vote! Hey guys Cloud is actually overperforming!! Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
KamikazePotato posted... Cloud (2013c) has a strength of 38.50 against Base Link. Whew.... Thank god, I was worried there for a while, now I know everything will be fine. Good to know. |

Wth did GTAV do? (edited 12/6/2018 10:37:25 PM) |
Alright,
so it's 1:40, and Cloud is still not managing to cut percentage. I
guess I was wrong that he would get a lot of it back. Would be nice if
he could salvage 40% though. September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |

Cloud did get his first lead cut at 1:05 AM, so he has gotten that out of the way. We're not really far enough into the night vote for Cloud to be gaining percentage consistently. I wouldn't expect that to happen until 3:00 AM at the earliest. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! (edited 12/6/2018 10:44:15 PM) |
Yeah it’s still only 7 am in UK and 8 am mainland Europe. Give it another 2-3 hours. |
Cloud
will get some from Europe/Asia but if he was going to get a big
movement, the kind needed to get him back to 44%, it would be from the
anti-FFVII early vote shifting into the rest of the poll vote. Only,
here, it's clear that the early vote went decisively for Cloud, because
they really don't want Link to win again. September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
I’d take Link in that 4-way. I think Skyward Sword would be top 15 for the decade because Drones. tgs2 posted... squexa posted...I don't have much confidence in Persona 5. We seem to always overrate how strong Persona is every contest, but the series is still really niche.. Very good list. I’d be shocked if Undertale got a rally though. It got a rally because it was just released and was a fad basically at the time. Don’t see it maintaining enough relevance for a rally. I wouldn’t expect much from it. What are BR games? Is that a company? |
BR
= battle royale (think the movie Battle Royale), a fairly new, but
already phenomenally successful sub-genre in gaming whose main
representatives are Fortnite and PUBG (PlayerUnknown's BattleGrounds). I
can't see any battle royale games getting major rallies myself, due to
the generally negative sentiments around PUBG, because Fortnite's
playerbase is either under 13 or won't care, and because the other
battle royale games aren't nearly big enough. (edited 12/7/2018 12:26:24 AM) |
