Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1336

I never understood why anyone would argue Smash isn't a fighting game.

There's a single player mode, emissary of something I believe?

Will Rocket League take the lead? Or will DBZ be victorious? Find out in the next exciting update of GOTD TWOOOOO!

I don't. It's just fun trolling Smash fans.

It was the s***ty Rivals contest.

In which I finished bottom 10 in the guru because I had no idea what I was doing.

ZeldaTPLink posted...

I had DBZ for most of my bracket phase then changed to RL in the last week.

I like how I still have no idea if that was a good idea or not.

It was a coin flip going in, who knows how it would play out

Is Dragon Ball actually going to pull away.

Goku with the MASSIVE lead after that update

Looking forward to yakuza 0 and metal gear solid 5 facing off next round because both series have a similar energy to them

I mean Yakuza might make MGSV look bad. but MGSV is of no danger here.

It is a fighting game. But just like most genres there are sub genres. Smash isnt the same type of fighter like Tekken or Mortal Kombat. Its a party fighter.

Same way you can't call a Strategy RPG the same as a open world RPG.

Iirc it's between 2 and 4%

Maybe that'll be enough!

the insurmountable 15 vote lead

set up the BARRIERS

9 people fell off the Top 50. 519, VioletMassacre, Elren, Trex_Panda, Finalxflash, drunkmostly, Stone_Magnet, Chewisbeast and codebreak1337 got at least one match wrong.

1 person got a match wrong but survived. Former third place _PandaMaster_ only scored 3 points but is still on the Top 50.

It is, but not in the traditional sense which is what most people probably mean.

I dunno if FighterZ will pull it off, but damn am I hoping. It’s a great game and there has never been a DBZ game as beautiful as it. I just wish I didn’t suck so much at fighter games that require actual skill

I really want to post hype Dragon Ball Super songs but I dunno how many people here have watched it

I picked DBFZ mostly because idk, sometimes in matches that are debateable, I'll just take the game I like

I never really thought about how easy of a time it'd have winning. Fighting games are usually pretty bad but I feel compared to the other fighting games in the bracket most people like DBFZ. I think MK9 would've done better than MK11 and Tekken fans seem to be all over the place on 7. SF5 explains itself!

it'd be hilarious of Yakuza of all things manage to join the currently very small 80% club

I mean, I know all that. But you see the debates around and it's stupid.

(40%) What you see right now is my normal form

(49.9%) THIS is a super sayain

(50.1%) This is a sayain that has ascended past a super sayain - or I guess you can just call it a Super Sayain 2

(Ulti style blowout incoming?) And THIS is what happens when you go ever further beyond... HAAAAAAAA!

Eh, I don't think it'll get there at this point.

and we've had like 50 games break 80% this contest alone...!

You forgot one thing.

It's soccer.

In South America.

The average Brazilian gamer buys a PS4 just so he can spend 5 consecutive years playing nothing but FIFA. Then he buys a PS5 to play more FIFA.

I'm glad we have this DBZ/rL match

A ton of more matches round 2 will be like this hopefully once we've elminated all the dross.

Speaking of Dross. Hopefully Batman Takes out the Trash in a few days

when Goku wins I will give everyone 2 dragonballs

BARRIERS effective

Well, this is certainly a match

South American also f***in loves fighters and Dragonball Z

contest was pretty boring before this match.

Rocket League hasn't even shown off its final form

The 10 vote barriers still holds!!!!!!!!!!!!

No way, that's a breach! By three whole votes and all.

The current poll for Brazil is showing DBZ with a similar % as the global one.

I think the two effects dampen each other.

DBZ's lead is OVER NINE (thousand)!!!!

Come on DBFz, POWER UP!

hahahahah classic. This is why we are here. Enjoy Contest 2020 April 7 2020. What a time to be alive

I did not know turtles could be this black.

it looks like solidified oil.

SRIRIT BOMb!!

i am pleased

Jeez I had pegged this and DMCV vs DKC as the most intense matches of Round 1, and this one is actually living up to the hype

It ain't traditional soccer though, and it ain't FIFA, and they don't need to have played FighterZ to vote for Goku anyway.

And whoah, Brazil disappoints, so you may have a point. Dragonball spanish dub is the all-time best so that can explain Brazil's betrayal.

LeonhartFour posted...

I mean do we really want to get into bad picks Mr. Axel Steel > Midna

@LeonhartFour we've all made bad picks, someone's pick doesn't equate to who they are as a person.

I feel like Brazilian GameFAQs users care as much about FIFA as American GameFAQs users care about Madden lol.

was it in Brazil where several cities organized massive events with tens of thousands of people for live screenings of the last few episodes of Dragonball super?

I don't understand the comparison, you think we speak Spanish or something?

I highly doubt Brazil had the Spanish dub

You know if anything has an active community and is easily rallyable it's dragon ball Z

Probably.

The actual BR gameFAQs users only care about Castlevania, Mega Man and Resident Evil.

Mexico.

GOATBALL Z

Fighter Z getting to the next round would be the best result of the bracket so far. It will trump Unders***e losing.

I agree, this is the first match of the contest where I'm fanboying.

The Brazilian Portuguese dub for DBZ was fantastic, though. No problem here. The guy who dubbed Goku shows up in anime events all the time.
