Oh wow, an actual close match.

Doesn't look good for DBZ though

Rocket League with a punch right to the cha la head cha la

At what point do we ask reddit to lend to their energy to son goku

"People of ___, lend Goku your energy!" is almost too perfect a rally topic title not to use.

Would be a waste if nobody attempted to rally our hero Goku in this epic back and forth fight against a tough and determined foe, Rocket League.

Everyone spam: What a save! at dbfz until Vegeta rage quits

How much percentage does Latin America make for the site? It should be voting hardcore for Dragonball.

Idk but I heard Europe and Latin America kinda like soccer--just a hunch (pls)

Rocket League just put down a 60% update.

looking at the update patterns it does seem like rocket league is getting rallied, probably in the discord that other guy mentioned in a topic.

I picked DBFZ but i ain't even mad at rocket league if it wins

Does this Board know who the 1st place user "mariomaster0" is?

Does he/she post here at all?

Wonder who he/she has in this match.

ya go my Rocket League

This match is currently 100 votes below yesterday's match at this time. If there's a rally, it's not adding up to much.

three straight cuts for DBZ

that's a trend

Nice shot!

And that's four in a row.

WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITNEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I knew it was a bad pick as soon as I saw it left in my bracket, but gotdang this is terrible. Yakuza 0's doing to The Witness what Dark Souls is doing to Hotline Miami, and I'd take Hotline to beat Yakuza.

Oh well. The Witness is an exceptional game and you should still play it.

I'm gonna have to actually use creative's site this contest, eh?

I'd bet on rocket league winning the day vote given its casual bait but hey maybe Goku?!?!?!?

And that's five.

By the hour:

20:00 - Dragon Ball, 50.10%
21:00 - Rocket League, 51.09%

Also, I'm glad Rocket League and Dragon Ball FighterZ are having as close of a match as many of us thought they'd have. This is a great match set-up and hopefully it stays close awhile (before Rocket League wins at the end *fingers crossed*).

Rocket League's up in the U.S. and Canada, and it's up big in the U.K. (although it's early), but DBZ is winning almost everywhere else!

that's more like it

Once Rocket League started using 50% of its power, Goku's DBZ fanbase Times 20 wouldn't even work. Now all Goku has to do is charge his Spirit Bomb

EArly is an understatement. ITs literally 3 am in the UK.

Both Rocket League and DBZ have had nice vote totals in the past three updates.

if it's up in the us, canada and the uk, it's basically won!

yes hence why I made a point of mentioning that it's early

whoa that was a big cut

Oh man, it's nice to see a match not decided at the 2 hour mark.

big update for Rocket League

I trust that's gonna factor more with Europe. Soccer is strong in Latin America but I don't think the particular sub-genre that Rocket League brings outweighs the big nostalgia factor that Dragonball has there.

lead is finally over 100

dang this is over unless theres a noticeable day/night trend

To think I'd see the day where something Metal Gear had the bad board vote.

Against Dead Cells of all things

How? Isn't Dead Cells a well-liked indie game?

I thought it was? It's got a massive following and they just released the highly anticipated DLC about a month ago

Former visitor to this board, just realized my bracket isn't complete. I had BOTW over Skyrim in the finals, but it must've glitched or I clicked something, so now Skyrim isn't even winning its division in my bracket! Wtf.

I assume there's absolutely no way to ask mods/admins to make Skyrim the winner for all the matches up to the final? I'm sitting 2 points back of the leaders right now so I probably won't win the whole thing, but I wanted to hit the leaderboard.

I guess I'll just keep track for my own bragging rights 😔

Looks like you are out of luck according to this page:

Yeah, I'm thinking Rocket League might have this.

A valiant effort by Goku and the boys. DBZ's competitive scene was over in a flash, and a fighter really isn't the type of game to gain traction on GameFAQs. I actually think well of Rocket League (it's got a nightmare opponent next round, but I think it would have looked respectable against something like MGS5), so DBZ's high percentage here is a testament to the franchise. Between this and Spidey - these outsiders aren't lookin too bad.

This match is proving that the genre of the game matters more than the franchise name. Fighting games are weak here, with the exception of Smash and the 2 all-time classic games Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat II.

If we had a Dragon Ball RPG game in this match instead of DBFZ, it would have a much better chance of winning this match. But the nature of the DBZ anime clearly lends itself more towards the fighting game genre than any other genre of games.

DBZ can try again in 10 years.
