Yuri_LowelI posted... or could be the awful starting times. I mean this is the same time it started in 2018 |
KamikazePotato posted... Berseria has decent sales, but it's a mistake to think that this site cares about it (or Tales in general) proportionately more than other sites. The one game we like here is Symphonia, and there's a reason for that! vesperia imo would beat HK. But maybe im biased. That game is more popular and it got remasterEd on switch |
Too many of our voters are in the ICU Kampfmaschine Advokaiser punched my lights out in the 2018 Guru. My bracket was soft... just like my heart! |
man Hollow Knight is jumping all over the place Berseria came out at a time when a lot of people had already given up on Tales after several mediocre entries |
LeonhartFour posted... I mean this is the same time it started in 2018 5pm pacific? I Th ought it started at 9. I was living back in UK at the time |
Yuri_LowelI posted... or could be the awful starting times. We had similar starting time for the last contest (7:00 PM EST initially, changing to 8:00 PM EST after the DST switch), so the comparison to the previous contest is fine. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! |
BotW stomped that update too, back above 85%. Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
Gentlemen. It's truly a pleasure to be in an actual contest season again. Last character battle and the years contest were just not good. But this one? I can feel it. It's going to be good.

The last Character Battle was pretty good! |
I've just remembered i actually like an indie game. Rabi Ribi. |
CBX was really f***ing good. |

UltimaterializerX posted... Gentlemen. Contest season is my favorite time of the year, when it happens. There's nothing quite like it. I was the final Undisputed Champion in UCA history, however Advokaiser was the Guru Champion! |
I
took Hollow Knight without thinking. Sure most Indie games are weak,
but HK is more of an exception. How much it's winning by is a bit
surprising though... Game of the Decade 2 - Current Score: 0/0 Today's Picks: BotW, LiS, FFXV, Hollow Knight |
Ah, it feels so good to see contest matches again, even if I don't really care about this contest relatively. "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." |
UltimaterializerX posted... Speaking of. Oh, completely forgot about pics. |
LadyVyxx posted... But you hate hollow knight? I don't hate it i just hate how they're flooding the market now. Like Ulti said there are some decent games out there but most of them are pure crap. |
Well
I lost this one already (I picked Tales of Berseria over Hollow
Knight). I forgot everyone loved being a masochist this decade when I
believe the gaming market is already over saturated with Dark Souls like
games that people would pick something else. Man was I wrong. |
Losing
out on 1 point matches means nothing. It's only damaging when you take
that game 2 rounds or more. The big money is made when you get the upset
pick in later rounds! |
CBX was a wonderful contest. Kampfmaschine Advokaiser punched my lights out in the 2018 Guru. My bracket was soft... just like my heart! |
Best Year In Gaming is so underrated... =( It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |
@creativename posted... Oh, completely forgot about pics.We also need pics posted for 2018 on the wiki. Crossed fingers, crossed hemispheres. |
hylianknight3 posted... CBX was a wonderful contest.Looking at it sure, but I just can't with these low vote totals and anti-rally nonsense. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |
creativename posted... I think my tiebreaker is off though. I went with 2.65 million, wish I'd gone with like 3.5m. 2.65 million is looking far better than 3.5m with the way the vote totals are going so far. When the bracket first went up, I originally recommended 1900000 to 2300000. This was later revised and changed to 2100000 to 2500000 after seeing the slightly higher vote totals in the regular polls as a consequence of the ongoing coronavirus situation, which I assumed would probably carry over to this contest.

UltimaterializerX posted... Looking at it sure, but I just can't with these low vote totals and anti-rally nonsense. I mean these vote totals will be even lower and the anti-rally stuff is still here |
I'm also pretty sure none of the pics after Zelda vs. Tifa in 2018 were captured, but then again, you aren't missing much. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2020 Guru contest winner. |
UltimaterializerX posted... Looking at it sure, but I just can't with these low vote totals and anti-rally nonsense. Just because you tried to sabotage last contest by rallying for Monika doesn't mean we all wanted it to be a clustermess. It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |
So... Berseria needs to get about 64% on Edith FInch for HK to beat FFXV |
charmander6000 posted... I took Hollow Knight without thinking. Sure most Indie games are weak, but HK is more of an exception. How much it's winning by is a bit surprising though...Yah I filled out my bracket before looking at the board and was surprised to see this was a hotly debated match. Hollow Knight is easily one of the most talked about and beloved indie games on this site while Berseria is not only niche, but even a lot of the people who have played it don't actually like it THAT much. If
you're only on this board to whine about "SJWs", please redirect
whatever you type on to the nearest trash can. And hop in after it. |

I am so glad I went with HK here. Patience. |
_SecretSquirrel posted... https://gamefaqs1.cbsistatic.com/images/contest/gotd-back/107502.png I thought it might have been the board number for the game on this site, but that's apparently not the case as seen here: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/189707- BotW's board number is 189707, which isn't the same as the number used for the match picture.

LusterSoldier posted... I thought it might have been the board number for the game on this site, but that's apparently not the case as seen here: Just had the same thought Not the Wii U version either Weird! Not to be confused with XIII_Stones. |
I'd
also say that these results should make anyone who picked the Bravely
Default upset tomorrow pretty worried. Looks like despite this being
JRPGFAQs, you can't just pick a bottom rung JRPG to beat games that are
widely talked about and relevant on this site (which MHW is, based on
flitting through various boards) If
you're only on this board to whine about "SJWs", please redirect
whatever you type on to the nearest trash can. And hop in after it. |
I
think people here severely underestimated Hollow Knight. With all the
talk of respect voting, it always seemed odd that a game with a good
reception from a B-tier at best franchise was the favourite over one of
the most respected games of the generation. Though I certainly didn’t
expect a stomp like this. Really, don’t think of indie games as distinct from other games. They are just games without a publisher or big company attached. They are taking the place of small to mid-size games and games from smaller publishers that have become less frequent. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser |
I think Hollow Knight was the slight favorite on B8? Brackets-wise, anyway. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. (edited 3/26/2020 5:47:47 PM) |
KamikazePotato posted... I think Hollow Knight was the slight favorite on B8? Brackets-wise, anyway. Yeah, it was considered a toss-up. |
Aaaaand there goes bracket /Berseria. Backlog:
Blasteroids (ARC). Last finished: Asteroids (Atari 8 Bit), Space
Invaders (NEC PC-98), Space Invaders '95: The Attack of the Lunar
Loonies. |
Lightning Strikes posted... Really, don’t think of indie games as distinct from other games. They are just games without a publisher or big company attached. They are taking the place of small to mid-size games and games from smaller publishers that have become less frequent. The issue that indie games face is their general lack of pre-release promotion relative to the AAA games. At events such as E3, indie games are generally relegated to the indie game montages in the E3 press conferences, which is a rapid fire segment showing at most 15-30 seconds of gameplay from each upcoming game before moving into another game in the montage. Thus, indie games face an uphill battle to garner the attention of gamers. Combined with the huge availability of so many indie games means that it's harder for any specific indie game to get widely played on this site.

if Halo = Outer Worlds, BOTW would be projected to get 88.45% on Life is Strange |
I
originally had Hollow Knight > FFXV in my bracket, but with the
contest delay I saw the match overlapping with a major Final Fantasy
release and changed it. I think Hollow Knight will lose to bad timing
and had a legit chance to win otherwise. Think fast. Click faster. |
I knew Edith Finch would be worthless, but wow. Not a stinky alien. :( Nintendo Switch Code: SW-5719-6555-8388 |
oh is FFXV/Hollow Knight on the release date of FFVIIR? |
LeonhartFour posted... oh is FFXV/Hollow Knight on the release date of FFVIIR?Oh that is just some BS. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |
I believe it's the day after. Think fast. Click faster. |
