Link
winning is fun though. I was excited enough to do trend projections
for yesterday's match, and Link ended up over 63% there. Watching Link
gain 5000 votes with the ASV against Snake in the 2008 final was fun. Crono and Link are my two favorite characters, and I probably wouldn't bother following the contest at all if Crono wasn't in the bracket. There are a lot more Link superfans out there than Crono superfans. If, at any point, more than 50% of the voters decide they don't want Link to win anymore - guess what? He'll lose. September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
Yeah
this is the first time Link alone has been quite so far ahead of
everyone else. At least before he was only getting like 54% on Snake,
etc. He's really accelerated away from the field. Not to be confused with XIII_Stones. |
I
mean he did get BotW and everybody else got basically nothing. Some of
them even being actively hurt by their devs just putting on a s*** show
over the last few years. I'd also assume that the less outsiders we
get, the more it favors Link too (edited 12/11/2018 5:02:52 PM) |

This is also why it's a good reason to retire him. No one could make a serious argument he can be beaten. He is clearly not fun for the board (just look at the board vote against Zelda). People less interested in the contest or who just pass on Gamefaqs from time to time won't notice, but it's boring for this very board If you wanted to make Link fun, make his votes count half and he would still beat most of the field. That's how hideously and ridiculously too strong he is |
we need a new GREAT MGS game and the FFVII Remake and then Link will have some competition once again. as much as I dislike Link's dominance, removing him from the contests is just not right and would make our votals even worse than they already are. ... |
It will never happen but the contest I'd be most interested in would be one with some sort of handicap like how Vegas odds work |

I don't think it would change the votals much. Actually, look how much our votals are declined, for all we know it could be due to Link ! I'm joking of course, but I'm pretty sure if he hadn't been in the bracket, nothing would have changed. We are actually getting lower votals in legends than in the main brackets so he is clearly not drawing votes. |
If Link retires Zelda would get stronger and she'd win. Backlog:
New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Wii). Last finished: Splatterhouse 3 (GEN).
Splatterhouse 2 (GEN). Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti (NES). |
Power Hour over Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
Mario and Cloud just trading big updates now. |
Do you guys think the Planet Gamecube and Hentai rallies will offset for this one? Let's Play Octopath Traveler (SSLP) https://mega64.net/index.php/lp/ot |
KamikazePotato posted... creativename posted...Luigiman59 posted...show hidden quote(s)Link absolutely needs to be permanently retired. You remove him and the contest becomes unpredictable and more fun. So give Link a bye to the last two rounds. Removing him totally because he “always wins” us just stupid. It’s a *popularity* contest. The most popular character *should* win. I don’t get what these matches have to do with Link being removed? These matches aren’t that interesting because they are loser’s matches. It would be different if they counted. In actuality one of the reasons Link is less interesting now is because of the anti-votes. Watching him smash turbofodder used to be fun. Now he can’t reach those heights anymore. I think removing Link altogether would just be dumb. If you want him to not take everybody out, either: -Give him a bye to the semi-finals -Put the entire Noble Nine plus Zelda plus Pikachu on the opposite side of the bracket from him. This way he doesn’t prevent any interesting matches between elites. |
Planet Gamecube is called Nintendo World Report now. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
Rallying for Cloud would be possible on any Final Fantasy related subreddit, so Cloud has some rally sources available to him. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
Not the semis. Just make Link the secret final boss. Not to be confused with XIII_Stones. |
charmander6000 posted... What contest do we want for 2019? I love that you're willing to revisit Villains, Female, and Series, but not 2v2s. I'm still going with my Couples Contest. At the very least, the nomination phase would be interesting. "Someday I'll catch up, and then you'll all be surprised!" BKSheikah has the power. He is the one. |
Give the voters what they want A bracket entirely of Links. Let's Play Octopath Traveler (SSLP) https://mega64.net/index.php/lp/ot |
lordjers posted... If Link retires Zelda would get stronger and she'd win. Very possible. Zeldrones proxies and so forth. She might win on natural strength, but remove Link altogether and she should boost. Samus would be her main threat probably. Not_Wylvane posted... Do you guys think the Planet Gamecube and Hentai rallies will offset for this one? Cross dressing Cloud hentai rallies. Of course! |
XIII_rocks posted... Not the semis. Just make Link the secret final boss. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Cloud should beat Mario |
Why can't this just be simple I need to sleep Not to be confused with XIII_Stones. |
Series contest could be fun. With how much this site loves Smash Bros it might be able to challenge Legend of Zelda now. Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality. |
OrangeCrush980 posted... Series contest could be fun. With how much this site loves Smash Bros it might be able to challenge Legend of Zelda now. Pokemon would also be a lot stronger today than we saw in 2006 - a top 3 series in strength now. With an expanded field of 64 game series, we could fit in some more series that were introduced after 2006 such as Mass Effect, The Witcher, and Dark Souls. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
It'd
be interesting to see Mass Effect smashing Ultima just to expose the
claim of people not playing new games is BS (though it'd be kinda sad). Backlog:

Devastating I'll be up in an hour to find Cloud with a 100+ vote lead. Not to be confused with XIII_Stones. |

I'm wondering if Monkey Island would be weaker in a series contest than Guybrush Threepwood was in Character Battles. I'm also inclined to believe that that might be our perfect stats crossover, because those should be absolutely equal in strength. Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
lordjers posted... It'd be interesting to see Mass Effect smashing Ultima just to expose the claim of people not playing new games is BS (though it'd be kinda sad). Are we sure Mass Effect wins that one? >_> This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
This
actually looks good for Cloud! he is not letting Mario run away with
the match. Cloud will need to build a sizeable lead during the night
though, a 400-500 votes lead would be good. ... |
TheOneAboveAll posted... I'm wondering if Monkey Island would be weaker in a series contest than Guybrush Threepwood was in Character Battles. Monkey Island should be significantly stronger than Guybrush due to respect factor. Many people that would vote for Monkey Island due to reputation have probably never even heard of Guybrush. I do feel a lot of people underestimate respect voting factor from people who have played neither game. MI/Guybrush should be like SOTC/whatshisface but to a much lesser extent. LusterSoldier posted... OrangeCrush980 posted...Series contest could be fun. With how much this site loves Smash Bros it might be able to challenge Legend of Zelda now. I am not convinced Pokémon is clearly above each of Mario Bros., Smash, and Final Fantasy. I think we’ve passed peak Mass Effect. |
I would be interested in a Best Series or Villains sequel, or a Best Console contest for 2019. |
Team Rocket Elite posted... lordjers posted...It'd be interesting to see Mass Effect smashing Ultima just to expose the claim of people not playing new games is BS (though it'd be kinda sad). I uh, can’t tell to what degree you’re joking. But I’d presume Ultima would be very weak on this site. It was before the time of most here, and from an era where the people that come to this site were all about consoles. |
the rivalry rumble was a defacto series contest, imho https://imgur.com/M1heX2g RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
ultima vs. mass effect would be a measure of just how many anti-votes mass effect can get https://imgur.com/M1heX2g RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
If
you think Mass Effect was ruined as a series, play Ultima. The only
reason that downfall isn't more publicized is because that series has 6
fans. |
Cloud/Barret would beat Link/Zelda "Tar Heel" is a racist relic of the Civil War. It's time to #changethename (edited 12/11/2018 6:01:01 PM) |
looks like the Mario stuffer has a script set up to resume stuffing when the lead gets under 100 |

Ulti_PCA posted... Cloud. This has to be the record for longest wait between initial encounter and rematch, right? ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die. |
creativename posted... Team Rocket Elite posted...lordjers posted...show hidden quote(s)It'd be interesting to see Mass Effect smashing Ultima just to expose the claim of people not playing new games is BS (though it'd be kinda sad). Yeah, I was joking about it losing to Ultima. I don't think Mass Effect has fallen that far. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
looks like the FF7 power hour is finally over |
lordjers posted... If Link retires Zelda would get stronger and she'd win. Proxy voting has never happened in the years where the top competitors were excluded from the main bracket, why would that change now? "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima BKSheikah won Guru, but you know that. |
That was a nice 48 vote gain for Mario. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
Where the f*** was this Mario when I needed him against Zelda f*** me Started from the bottom now we here |
48
gain for Mario? Now he just needs to repeat that like five more times.
I didn't realize I was doing fairly well in the contest until I found
that I was #50 today. Maybe if Mario can pull off those wins... just
maaaaaybe I could win a prize if enough people did not pick Mario. 200-vote barrier cast! ShatteredElysium posted... It will never happen but the contest I'd be most interested in would be one with some sort of handicap like how Vegas odds work I'd love it if the bracket-makers predicted how well each character would do, which would decide the odds and therefore the handicaps. Mega Man might be able to win a contest for once! "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." |
Clutch hard, clutch early Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality. |
