LusterSoldier posted... ShatteredElysium posted...I feel dirty wanting Mario to win for my brackets sake despite far, far preferring Cloud. Not going to vote though I never bracket vote so yeah I guess that's an option. Either that or just don't vote |
That darn plumber and his darn clutch Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality. |
TheOneAboveAll posted... Mario lost 4.75% from the freeze to the finish against Sephiroth. This is over. You were saying? XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak PSN ID - Kudaark Steam Name : skaalfa |
damn ... |
This makes no sense. When's the last time Cloud won a board vote, ever? And how did he do it against Freakin' Mario? Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs (edited 12/11/2018 4:12:29 PM) |
TheOneAboveAll posted... This makes no sense. Look at what Cloud did to Link, it's not that surprising... CBX - Today's Winner: Solid Snake |
Cloud won the board vote for once; Sadly, he will steal another win after ruining Samus's chances. |
What even was that |
TheOneAboveAll posted... This makes no sense. I already explained how. Everything in the last few days, from Link domination, Cloud not breaking 40 on Link, and Mario barely escaping Samus shifted the board vote to Cloud here. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2018 Guru Contest winner. http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=40 |
ShatteredElysium posted... I feel dirty wanting Mario to win for my brackets sake despite far, far preferring Cloud. Not going to vote though I actually feel dirty wanting Cloud to win for my own sake since I still have to play FFVII and I grew up with Mario. Here lies the sig of BK_Sheikah00, who swore fealty to the Gurus of Board 8. |
_SecretSquirrel posted... TheOneAboveAll posted...This makes no sense. The board supported Mario over Samus. There shouldn't be any backlash from that in Cloud's favor. Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
rofl Rip Cloud, Mario coming for dat Zelda Ass LeBron "Stannis" James - The one true king of the NBA |
Bandwagon Zelda vs Villainous Mario. That will be a fun board vote to watch. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
Link versus Cloud posted... rofl Rip Cloud, Mario coming for dat Zelda Ass Calling the match after 15 minutes? XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak PSN ID - Kudaark Steam Name : skaalfa |
Team Rocket Elite posted... Bandwagon Zelda vs Villainous Mario. That will be a fun board vote to watch. Zelda had such a strong early vote against Link that she fell 17% after the freeze until the end of the match. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
charmander6000 posted... Quick Nintendo, release a water based Mario game. Quality throwback. Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! https://imgur.com/Dr4NAeq |
Qwaar posted... Link versus Cloud posted...rofl Rip Cloud, Mario coming for dat Zelda Ass Welcome to Board 8, lol. Here lies the sig of BK_Sheikah00, who swore fealty to the Gurus of Board 8. |
Or maybe Mario just chokes it anyway Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
KamikazePotato posted... Or maybe Mario just chokes it anyway Maybe he just wants to keep it close to clutch the victory away again and infuriates us even more |
f*** villainous Mario. |
This early result is pretty ungood for mario cloud will rise throughout the day so he needs a pretty high percentage at the end of the power hour 55% and I'd feel safeish, 53% and he should be favored, 52% and it's a coinflip Shine on, you crazy diamond. |
As frustrating as this contest has been for someone who doesn't care about Nintendo, a Cloud win would be very satisfying |
There's no way Mario gets to 55% before the end of the power hour. He'll struggle to keep percentage nevermind gain it |
Qwaar posted... Link versus Cloud posted...rofl Rip Cloud, Mario coming for dat Zelda Ass yes, Cloud needs to be blowing Mario out to win this. In a tight match the villainous plumber will for sure find a way. LeBron "Stannis" James - The one true king of the NBA |
Gonna set the vote limit that Cloud needs to keep the match at to have a comeback chance at: 250 votes. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
KamikazePotato posted... Gonna set the vote limit that Cloud needs to keep the match at to have a comeback chance at: 250 votes. Seems about right to me I don't think anyone has turned a bigger difference around yet? Shine on, you crazy diamond. |
charmander6000 posted... What contest do we want for 2019? I'd like to see Villains or Female as a mini-contest, personally. With Sephiroth's weird performances in Legends this year, the winner of a villain bracket might even be in doubt. I can't believe I lost the Best Year In Gaming guru contest to some guy named BKSheikah |
Tifa trailed X by 460+ votes and came back with the Europe vote but Mario is much better in Europe than Mega Man |
Keltiq posted... charmander6000 posted...What contest do we want for 2019? Female Villains Quotes Contest |
The
Mega Men choked away pretty big overnight leads (especially X), but
they would lose the night vote to an inanimate piece of stale toast. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. (edited 12/11/2018 4:33:10 PM) |
I think I'm coming around on the idea that banning Link from future contests might actually be a good idea. Samus/Mario/Zelda/Cloud all seem to be on a similar level and could all possibly beat each other in the right circumstances. Mario is a good villain that represents a powerful final boss that is actually possible to beat. LeBron "Stannis" James - The one true king of the NBA |
Averia posted... Female Villains Quotes Contest brb looking up tron bonne quotes If I only consulted the Gossip Stones like BKSheikah, instead of listening to Tingle, maybe I could have been the 2017 Guru Champ! |
Averia posted... Female Villains Quotes Contest Since this is ZeldaFAQs I assume this will win Thank you, Link! You allowed me to pass through the sacred barrier! I've been waiting for this moment! I am Veran, Sorceress of Shadows! Nayru! Oracle of Ages! I shall make your body my own! Ah hah hah hah! ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die. |
Keltiq posted... charmander6000 posted...What contest do we want for 2019? Consoles would be my favorite mini-contest of the bunch! Here lies the sig of BK_Sheikah00, who swore fealty to the Gurus of Board 8. |
I'm up for a "Modern looking dudes" contest so Snake can finally win it all. Backlog:
New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Wii). Last finished: Splatterhouse 3 (GEN).
Splatterhouse 2 (GEN). Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti (NES). |
I
would prefer Series Contest 2 as the next mini contest. It would be
possible to increase the number of entrants up to 64 game series while
running the contest in under 1 month by doing multiple matches per day. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
Link absolutely needs to be permanently retired. You remove him and the contest becomes unpredictable and more fun. I’m not sure how even the biggest Link fanboys can look at his performance and be like “yeah knowing who is going to win before the contest even starts is much more entertaining”. Selfish. #1 Titans fan If Luigiman says it, then it must be true. -oj1985 |
Villains
and females would be bad, best series boring, no point in another
character contest so soon, and games should wait for GOTD. And is quotes a joke choice...? A best console mini contest or no contest are the only sensible options IMO. |
Cloud just needs to be able to keep this close until the dead of night vote comes. Of course, he'd need to be able to build up a lead of his own, too, so who knows. |
Luigiman59 posted... Link absolutely needs to be permanently retired. You remove him and the contest becomes unpredictable and more fun. The notion of a popularity contest with the most popular characters removed is such a silly idea. |
creativename posted... Villains and females would be bad, best series boring, no point in another character contest so soon, and games should wait for GOTD. What would be wrong with a Link-less full-on characters contest? Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
character of the generation only characters that first appeared on games released this gen allowed. |
creativename posted... Luigiman59 posted...Link absolutely needs to be permanently retired. You remove him and the contest becomes unpredictable and more fun. We've done this in many brackets, and each time in resulted in a better contest than if we hadn't. All these late game matches are 1/3 as exciting as they should be because the final winners spot isn't on the line. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
creativename posted... Luigiman59 posted...Link absolutely needs to be permanently retired. You remove him and the contest becomes unpredictable and more fun. The notion of contest when the winner is decided before it starts is also silly. We can just put Link in a bonus match if we wanna see what happen (spoiler alert : he wins) |
Frankly I think the idea of having a popularity contest when you already know the most popular character is even more silly. #1 Titans fan If Luigiman says it, then it must be true. -oj1985 |
Mario
vs. Cloud wouldn't be any more exciting if it was the final of the #2
Best Character Ever contest instead of the semifinal here. September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
creativename posted... Luigiman59 posted...Link absolutely needs to be permanently retired. You remove him and the contest becomes unpredictable and more fun. We know Link wins. He's the most popular. It's established. It's over. He's #1. It's just a lot more fun for everyone fighting for #2 to not have to get taken out earlier by facing him. It's a wasted space. The final battle can be just Link vs the winner. Just to show how far away Link is from everyone. Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
red sox 777 posted... Mario vs. Cloud wouldn't be any more exciting if it was the final of the #2 Best Character Ever contest instead of the semifinal here. And if it was Samus vs Mario from yesterday ? And this match is still not decided right now which is far more than any of Link's matches When Link is involved, you can turn off your analysis, not even read the stats and pick him to win easily. You could find reasons for both Mario and Cloud to wins in that match. (edited 12/11/2018 4:54:15 PM) |
creativename posted... Villains and females would be bad, best series boring, no point in another character contest so soon, and games should wait for GOTD. Villains would be an even worse contest today than it was in 2005 because it just feels like the site doesn't seem to like villains as much as they used to (see Sephiroth getting weaker the past few years). A Female character contest doesn't seem to be as terrible now because the site seems to be more comfortable with female characters in their video games. The history of this poll is very interesting: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6262- Going back to the 2009 poll, there's a huge change in voters playing a custom made female character, which I take as a proxy for the site being more comfortable with female characters in lead roles in their video games.

Villains might actually work now, because Bowser and Ganon could be within striking distance. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2018 Guru Contest winner. http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=40 |
