Safer_777 posted... Ah so it was 2013, not 2010. Okay. Still I hope this contest has some rallies. Hey say what you want but at least they make things excited! You MIGHT have had an argument in favour of rallies the first time a contest was ruined by one, but its happened so many times now that the real shocker would be a normal contest with no f***ery Advokaiser, my hat is off to you. Welcome to the Guru Champions Club lol xstats |
Please,
god, do not let the active/passive citizenship come back for the next
contest. If this site has reduced to a regular usership of roughly 15000
people, then let that be shown proper rather than guise it behind
anti-rally measures. >unironically playing video games (edited 9/12/2019 8:03:04 PM)report |
After how little difference it made why do you still care? [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO Advokaiser NO PEACE] |

It's a shame Okami won't be there to do this to Undertale https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7296-division-8-round-1-amaterasu-vs-draven Singing my song for my dream https://imgur.com/v58wdlU |
BK_Sheikah00 posted... It's a shame Okami won't be there to do this to Undertale Undertale is actually liked by some people, unlike League, reddit, and a meme character, so even if Okami was there it wouldn't be able to pull that off a second time. You felt your sins weighing on your neck. |
Man
I REALLY hope SB does go ahead with GotD. First because it's the right
thing to do, and second because a 2020 Character Battle would be
pointless, we already know who's going to win. ...no, not Link, it'll be the new character introduced yesterday! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1orju1NsN8 (click to expand) (he arrives at 1:38) Advo bested even The Show hosts in 2018, yowza! board8.wikia.com | thengamer.com/xstats |

If its not gotd 2 that might be the most dissappointing news of 2019 |

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7720-which-gamecube-game-or-games-would-you-most-like-to-see Gamecube games poll about wishful switch remasters ^5 my fellow Baten Kaitos fans |
heck yeah Skies of Arcadia |
>no F-Zero GX >but has options for games that were already remastered or remade for Wii, Wii U, and other consoles/PC :( You felt your sins weighing on your neck. |
Eternal Darkness not bad |
Woah. Skies winning this outright is kind of shocking. It's a great surprise, because not only is it great as is, but a remaster that speeds up the battles would turn it into a Top 5 classic for me. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, Advokaiser, the 2018 Guru Contest winner. |
Someone send this poll to Sega |
I have the original Gamecube version but never played it. KP warned me the encounter rate and speed is just laughable trash. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |
A
lot of the games in this poll have already gotten versions on newer
consoles. That plus Nintendo LFF probably decided the result. I think the GameCube version already has a reduced encounter rate compared to the original Dreamcast one? Guess it could possibly still be too high though. [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO Advokaiser NO PEACE] |
Uhm... Uhm... Where's "Melee"?... It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |

What
an incredible surprise it would be if Skies of Arcadia outright wins
today's poll. This is a huge over-performance from Skies. I'm going to rally for Skies of Arcadia by messaging all my friends on AIM and telling them to vote in the poll. Maybe this CONTROVERSIAL method of influencing the poll results will make everyone mad and people will call for the poll to be re-run to give Metroid Prime 1+2 a fair shake!

Advokaiser posted... Wait, what? Aren't you a Melee partisan?The game itself, mostly. Ultimate is far better though. The community can burn. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |
UltimaterializerX posted... I have the original Gamecube version but never played it. KP warned me the encounter rate and speed is just laughable trash. The encounter rate in the Cube version isn’t really that bad (really, most RPGs of the era with random encounters are no better), it’s the slow pace of the battles themselves that hold the game back. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, Advokaiser, the 2018 Guru Contest winner. |
And it's still a top ten game anyway Honestly once you get S-Moves that hit all enemies and can use them every turn the battles go a lot faster |
So does GotY this year basically come down to RE2make vs. the winner of Sword/Shield and Three Houses? [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO Advokaiser NO PEACE] |
Yeah, probably. Maybe KH3's DLC can give it a bump if it actually comes out this year. |
It’s never going to go to Fire Emblem or Pokemon. If we’re talking possible poll, the latter has too much of a “it’s f***ing Pokemon” stigma, while the other is...well, Fire Emblem. If we’re talking an actual awards show, then no Nintendo game is winning jack. It’s going to Death Stranding. >unironically playing video games |
Logience posted... If we’re talking an actual awards show we aren't but Pokemon nearly won a few years ago when we had a relatively weak field (in terms of games GameFAQs tends to love) and that might be the case again this year |
LeonhartFour posted... Logience posted...If we’re talking an actual awards show You mean how RBY defeated Mario Bros 3 before dying respectably to Undermeme, only for us to get a bonus round where we have it murder SM64? It’s been four years, and the zeitgeist has mostly shifted - especially in SM64’s case. Even then, that’s still unfair given that putting a Pokemon game in a Best of 2019 contest would pretty much guarantee it at least a quarterfinals place. And besides, when I meant “awards show” I meant like Spike TV or the /v/idya Gaem Awards, not a contest. >unironically playing video games |
no I meant GOTY 2016 where it finished runner up to FFXV |
Pokemon
XY also came within a few dozen votes of beating Link Between Worlds in
the 2013 3DS poll, and LBW later beat out The Last of Us and GTAV in
the final three. Black/White 2 in 2012 was also fairly close to beating Xenoblade, which ended up 2nd in the final three. [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO Advokaiser NO PEACE] |
Anti-vote rallies will likely kill any chance Sword/Shield has. Link isn't the only one who kicks ass. Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Contest! |
LeonhartFour posted... no I meant GOTY 2016 where it finished runner up to FFXV People gave GOTY to Final Fantasy 15? Do they have brain damage? >unironically playing video games |
LeonhartFour posted... FFXV is great It was Final Fantasy 15. It shouldn’t get that moniker. What, did nothing else besides NuDoom come out that year? >unironically playing video games |
FF15 was fantastic. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |
FFXIII was the last great Final Fantasy |
13 was good too. 15 struggles with having a historically garbage main character, but the game itself was amazing. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |

Leonhart4 posted... Noctis is greatNoctis is just everything in some dudes I can't stand. Privileged, entitled, whiny, and born into a good life without having to work for it. I cannot stand trust fund characters, and Master Hand beating his ass was so satisfying. You are so right about Ignis though. I love that dude.

FFXIII is really good though |
No wonder the Gurus make such amateur mistake if their taste in vidya is this shot. (Sic) >unironically playing video games (edited 9/18/2019 4:55:49 AM)report |
I just realized XII, XIII & XV are all much better than X. I also realize now half the internet hates me |
