It would be nice to see registered user x-stats as well as anonymous voter x-stats. "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." |
snake_5036 posted... garetha200 posted...Smash 4 will also probably be decently strong because it is a Smash game I feel like the franchise name alone would ensure that Smash 4 isn't fodder, but probably not much beyond that. Hail the reigning Guru champ, Advokaiser! You proved yourself more statistically metal-minded than I ever have been - well done! |
someone
near the end of the last topic mentioned the IMDB forums. i just wanted
to let them know those closed around a year or so ago. "L-Block 2007 Character Battle Champion" Always remember. "L-Block, shaped like a boot to kick your ass" |

Classic literature characters would not do well at all. |

LeonhartFour posted... Classic literature characters would not do well at all. even those with a better global base? and i would think Godzilla would be very strong. "L-Block 2007 Character Battle Champion" Always remember. "L-Block, shaped like a boot to kick your ass" |
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7445- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! |
very interesting poll, for all of Link's domination, I expected the 1st option to have more votes. ... |
abdou posted... very interesting poll, for all of Link's domination, I expected the 1st option to have more votes. well Link has a bad board vote these days im317 posted... LeonhartFour posted...Classic literature characters would not do well at all. Nah, classic lit would just have too few people who've actually read their stuff. They'd be getting by mostly on name recognition, which would help them beat bad fodder, but they'd have no chance against something with real popularity. Godzilla is way too niche to be that popular. |
also
while the first option isn't doing all THAT well over half the site
thinks Link is at least worthy of consideration for best ever and I
doubt anyone else would approach that high of a percentage |
What about “he’s boring AND there are better games than LOZ?” What a biased poll. PLAYSTATION 4: Best Console Ever | ROCKSTAR: Best Developer Ever Trolling (v.): Posting an opinion that differs from yours |
We've actually already seen Dracula. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5153-character-battle-ix-division-2-round-1-lucina-vs-dracula-vs https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5228-character-battle-ix-division-2-round-2-sonic-vs-dracula-vs Technically it's supposed to specifically be the Castlevania version of Dracula I guess but yeah nobody's gonna both notice and actually care about that distinction when voting.. He did fairly well but the Castlevania series gives him a pretty good floor and I think vampires being an enduringly popular thing and his position as THE iconic vampire gives him a lot of credibility. So I don't think his case should be generalized. The Lord of the Rings movies were big enough and well-liked enough that Gandalf could be good too, yeah. Harry Potter might be decent but I feel probably a majority of Harry Potter fans are female which is going to severely limit what he can do on gamefaqs. Pass on the rest. [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO BKSheikah NO PEACE] (edited 12/14/2018 9:20:51 PM) |
Well, Gandalf and Harry Potter could be decent, but it wouldn't be because of the books. And I think enough voters could make the distinction on which version of Dracula it was. |
1 person fell off the Top 50. _SecretSquirrel had the guts to pick against the king but it didn't pay off. 4 people fell off the Second Chance Top 50. mikethesandbag, raptalien, k69Degrees and Thomageddon went for the big play but it didn't work out. This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |

Can never understand why those PotD are so different to the contests I can assure you there are some people that voted Link in every match but also voted for the last option wololo |
Because they are fun polls. Remember when in a fun poll FF6 beat FF7 but when the contest came FF7 easily beat FF6? So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |
Safer_777 posted... Because they are fun polls. Remember when in a fun poll FF6 beat FF7 but when the contest came FF7 easily beat FF6? And how OOT 60-40'd ALTTP but two years later lost to it? https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6173-best-game-ever-day-38-quarterfinal-zelda-ocarina-of-time-vs https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6722-whats-your-all-time-favorite-legend-of-zelda-console-game wololo |
Yeah this is what I am saying. When the contest comes people vote with more caution. So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |

>Harry Potter >Strong You know what I am now in favor of this contest It seems like people has no idea how weak or strong those fictional characters are going to be, I feel like I will have a great chance to be in the upper half of the leaderboard Let's do this wololo |

Ulti_PCA posted... For reference. Are those the final ones? The largest bracket ever was not a problem for Advokaiser. Congratulations! |
Man I didn't have an idea of how much Sonic went down until now. Charizard and Mewtwo close is very fitting. MMX was legit after all! Just a small step below Classic. Nice that Hat Kid is not bottom 5 at least. The largest bracket ever was not a problem for Advokaiser. Congratulations! |
Sonic is a pathetic loser but he will not lose to Vivi Bowser>Sonic is very likely though wololo |
There's not too much space between Bowser and Vivi. Also was Ganondorf just made equal to MMX or was there a reason for the adjustment of division 1? Congratulations to Advokaiser for winning the guru contest. |
Alright,
so here's a consolidated list that I've compiled. Granted, this is
coming from someone in GameFAQs core demographic...so probably missing
some more modern stuff. But you look down this list and you're like, man, I'd really like to see how they stack up against "our" video game characters. Video games versus Pop Culture: The Showdown! Half the entrants from video games, half from Pop Culture. You could stretch and do 64 for each but I'm thinking 32 per side so you're only taking the best of the best. Marvel Spider-man Venom Iron Man Captain America Hulk Thor Black Widow Black Panther Thanos Wolverine Professor X Cyclops Beast Mystique Storm Magneto I could list a lot more but those are the ones I think could have contest strength DC Batman Robin Superman Wonder Woman Aquaman Joker I could list a lot more but those are the ones I think could have contest strength Dragon Ball Goku Vegeta I could list a lot more but those are the ones I think could have contest strength Other Anime/Comics Naruto Godzilla someone from The Walking Dead? Cartoons Cartman someone else from South Park? Homer Simpson Bart Simpson Mr Burns someone else from The Simpsons? Stewie Peter Griffin someone else from Family Guy? Mickey Mouse someone else from Disney? someone from the Pixar movies? Bugs Bunny someone else from Looney Toons? Animaniacs? Pinky and the Brain? one of the Power Rangers? one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Harry Potter Harry Potter Voldemort I could list a lot more but those are the ones I think could have contest strength Star Wars Darth Vader Boba Fett Palpatine Kylo Ren Yoda Han Solo Luke Skywalker Princess Leia Chewbacca Rey C3PO R2D2 BB8 Obi Wan Jar Jar Binks (yeah, yeah I know) I could list a lot more but those are the ones I think could have contest strength Lord of the Rings Gandalf Gollum I could list a lot more but those are the ones I think could have contest strength Other Movies The Terminator Alien Ellen Ripley Predator James Bond Neo Mad Max Other General Dracula Smelling roses and sipping Champagne. |
I'd put Morpheus and Agent Smith on an even or higher level then Neo. Also, Rogue or Nightcrawler before Beast. "We'll tell the customers that the features promised are in a place outside of Heaven now" -- GransonEx |
I
think you people are crazy if you think any of those characters are
going to be higher than 20% on Link, aside from a few of the big ones
like Vader/Spiderman. At this point, I can't see any DC heroes being
worth anything, for all the Batman/Joker talk, I feel lik you people are
stuck in 2008 Advokaiser, my hat is off to you. Welcome to the Guru Champions Club lol xstats |
this is gamefaqs, the only problem is the nolan trilogy might have come out too late for anyone on gf to watch it "Tar Heel" is a racist relic of the Civil War. It's time to #changethename |
If you don't think Ben Affleck wouldn't get 45% on Link I don't know what to tell you. Let's Play Octopath Traveler (SSLP) https://mega64.net/index.php/lp/ot |
Not_Wylvane posted... If you don't think Ben Affleck wouldn't get 45% on Link I don't know what to tell you. The guy who starred in that terrible Justice League film? He might get anti-voted. The largest bracket ever was not a problem for Advokaiser. Congratulations! |
I don't think Beast belongs. Gambit probably beats him too but nobody should try to get Gambit in. Individual Power Rangers would be absolute junk. I REALLY REALLY don't see the demographic that famously never really took to Tidus despite his game's strength and seems to have turned hard against even a lot of nostalgic "edgey" characters encountering Kylo Ren at around age 30 and saying "Wow, this whiner edgelord guy is great." BB8 isn't much of a character in the first place and with no nostalgia it'd tank hard. Potentially worthwhile manga/anime characters really might just be DBZ guys outside of I guess non-game Pokemon characters. Think Naruto hit too late for the gamefaqs demographic to care about him. Sailor Moon, Yami Yugi, or Spike Spiegel would have potentially higher ceilings, though I think it's more likely they all collapse laughably than look respectable.

All Star Wars outside of original trilogy is garbage in terms of popularity. Too many people hate all the other movies. The largest bracket ever was not a problem for Advokaiser. Congratulations! |
Anime
like Naruto/Bleach/One Piece may not look that bad here though. The
same people who watched DBZ and Pokemon as kids pirated those as
teenagers. The largest bracket ever was not a problem for Advokaiser. Congratulations! |
How
would Deadpool vs. Link go on the day of a release of a new Deadpool
movie? I bet Deadpool gets a doubling easily. He was easily the most
popular superhero during the week around his last movie, easily. Advokaiser rekt me in the GameFAQs fall 2018 character contest! |
Can't have DC without Supergirl. Helen Slater and Melissa Benoist's versions are both rather splendid. https://i.imgtc.com/UOxYRaY.jpg If you ran the world, it would probably be on fire right now. |
OrangeCrush980 posted... How would Deadpool vs. Link go on the day of a release of a new Deadpool movie? I bet Deadpool gets a doubling easily. He was easily the most popular superhero during the week around his last movie, easily. This is DroneFaqs. Link still probably takes it easily (assuming no rallies). |
For South Park characters i'd say Randy Marsh should be on it as he's a dude. IMO Essentials: Cheetara and Liono from Thundercats Optimus Prime and maybe Megatron too from Transformers Buzz Lightyear and/or Woody from Toy Story K.I.T.T from Knight Rider Buffy the Vampire Slayer (SMG) He-Man and Skeletor Outsiders: Mat Tracker from M.A.S.K Jaws (the shark) Peter Venkman from Ghostbusters Michael Knight from Knight Rider I think maybe Star Wars and Star Trek characters would be better off as part of an entirely different Sci-Fi set along with things like Terminator, Predator and Xenomorph. If you ran the world, it would probably be on fire right now. |

Piccolo has been horrifically snubbed in every mention of DBZ characters. I can't believe I lost the Character Battle X guru contest to some guy named Advokaiser |
