Leonhart4 posted... I think when most people say they don't want rallies, they mean contest breaking ones."Rallies are fine if something I like wins." This will always be wrong. Sorry bro!

UltimaterializerX posted... "Rallies are fine if something I like wins." That's not what I said. I was clarifying someone else's statement. No rallying is always better than rallying. Nice try on attempting to catch me though! |
There is a strange lack of complaining about the Hollow Knight rallying. I wonder why that is! Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |
UltimaterializerX posted... There is a strange lack of complaining about the Hollow Knight rallying. I wonder why that is! Because it's not winning. But every match has had someone attempt to rally for the loser. (edited 4/12/2020 11:31:05 AM) |
Cause it hasn't actually mattered yet? If it actually clutches this match people are definitely gonna be upset 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
agree with Leon - it's really the degree more than anything, and
rallying can often enhance a match. I'm firmly on the MMX fan train, but
I loved that Tifa match, and the nature of the rallying only made
things funner. Now if Tifa had grown those rallies to beat Link, it
would have brought a quick end to the fun for me. Yoblazer https://imgur.com/gByqgPg |
How did people even know about Tifa's rally... source? It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |

FF15 for star of the contest for beating Shovel Knight HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA any takers? SuperNiceChao about to win the Oracle 2020! TsunamiXXVIII and me will destroy all you noobs |
SuperNiceDog posted... FF15 for star of the contest for beating Shovel Knight HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA I'd be more impressed if it had beaten Shovel Knight |
Leonhart4 posted... I'd be more impressed if it had beaten Shovel Knight Oh I just checked, it's facing Hollow Knight not Shovel lololol. Still though, FF15 deserves a star for not blowing this match. Square Enix RISE UP!!! SuperNiceChao about to win the Oracle 2020! TsunamiXXVIII and me will destroy all you noobs |
If the Knights swapped places, I do think Shovel Knight would have buried ol' Noctis here. I think Shovel Knight is neck-and-neck with Cuphead for the title of "strongest indie' - though I do think Hollow Knight is a not-so-distant third. The music was thud-like. The music was... thud-like. |
Oh Christ, I just remembered RE2/DOOM is tonight. I've gotta say, this bracket has had some great R2 setups! The music was thud-like. The music was... thud-like. |
I'm probably only losing 1 match tomorrow. But there's a possibility i'll end up losing all 4 if strange stuff happens. |
All 4 matches taking place tonight are gonna be nuts. ALL four. I'm genuinely excited if you ask me. It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. (edited 4/12/2020 12:01:03 PM) |
Advokaiser posted... All 4 matches taking place tonight are gonna be nuts. ME2 shouldn't have much trouble with Fallout 4, I think. The other three are pretty debatable. |
BotW reaching for that 85%, dear God. It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |
I
apologise for my bad paragraph structure in that last message! Though
rally-wise Tifa/MMX was fun because it was a battle of two roughly equal
rallies, like Undertale/Melee on a much smaller scale. Advokaiser posted... BotW reaching for that 85%, dear God. Everybody is so distracted by FFXV vs. Hollow Knight that they are ignoring BotW looking like a next-level beast. It may get through this division never dropping below 80. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser |
I mean, we all knew coming in that BotW was rolling this whole thing. What's a few more points in the grand scheme? If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? #theresafreakingghostafterus (edited 4/12/2020 12:46:27 PM) |
Theres only Two games id take to beat BOTW on this site and that is OoT and Chrono Trigger some games like FF7 and RBY i wouldnt be that confident of (edited 4/12/2020 1:05:38 PM) |
I'm pretty bummed out about this Hollow knight is one of the top 3 metroidvanias of the last decade, maybe top 5 ever. FFXV doesnt even deserve to have the ff name attached to it. |
Yuri_LowelI posted... Theres only Two games id take to beat BOTW on this site and that is OoT and Chrono Trigger CT wouldnt even come close |
Chrono Trigger is stronger than OoT. If OoT can win, so can CT. Link isn't the only one who kicks ass. Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Contest! |
Oh boy are we gonna have THAT argument again 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. |
Lightning Strikes posted... I apologise for my bad paragraph structure in that last message! Though rally-wise Tifa/MMX was fun because it was a battle of two roughly equal rallies, like Undertale/Melee on a much smaller scale. nah. DQ will score a decent % on it. Cant see what game breaks 40% in this contest. Maybe a souped up witcher 3. |
I want a CD Project rally myself. So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |
gamer man posted... CT wouldnt even come close the same CT that absolutely destroyed FFX? cmon. CT would absolutely best BOTW. BOTW is a juggernaut. But its still not OoT just look at the recent best Zelda polls. |
Plot
twist: Undertale didn't actually lose any strength from 2015. Octopath
Traveler ends up steamrolling BotW and everything else. The music was thud-like. The music was... thud-like. |
Team Rocket Elite posted... Chrono Trigger is stronger than OoT. If OoT can win, so can CT. lets not get overboard. But if unders***e didnt happen. CT is making that final and losing to oot in a 45-55 match |
Smash or Mario Odyssesy might indirectly score 40, but not straight up for obvious reasons. It's not even GameFAQs thing. BotW would be a finalist on almost every site. BotW vs Witcher or Skyrim would actually be one of the most bog standard finals ever. 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. |
Even
if you don't want to believe CT is stronger than OoT, CT won't be much
weaker at all. The key point of "If OoT can win, so can CT", still
stands. Link isn't the only one who kicks ass. Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Contest! |
MechanicalWall posted... Smash or Mario Odyssesy might indirectly score 40, but not straight up for obvious reasons. yeah indirectly. Directly both games are getting walloped. Mario more so. Smash might be able to get 37-38% due to its variety and popualrity. mario might be able to beat smash 1v1. But it would get absolutely Sff’d to the ground by BOTW. |
Kidding aside, I think I'd take CT over BotW still, though I wouldn't feel confident about it. The music was thud-like. The music was... thud-like. |
Team Rocket Elite posted... Even if you don't want to believe CT is stronger than OoT, CT won't be much weaker at all. The key point of "If OoT can win, so can CT", still stands. i agree which is why i said only these two. ff7 is up in the air. That game barely hit 40% on oot last contest. RBY isnt as strong as ff7 lttp can barely beat MM. It has no shot at BOTW (edited 4/12/2020 1:13:42 PM) |
HaRRicH posted... LoZ:SS may be the weakest Zelda game, but in 2011 it still beat Batman: Arkham City and Portal 2 and those two games are still favored to reach the third round. We see LoZ:LBW still looking like a game with legitimate strength too, so...barring abnormal contest draws, I think LoZ:SS would have been fine. I also think Skyward Sword should have been included in this bracket. It's not nearly as hated as a lot gamefaqs echo chambers think it is. Arguably it is redundant if you're trying to avoid repeats from franchises since realistically nobody would vote for it over Breath of the Wild, but that didn't stop other franchises like Mass Effect and Persona from getting their less popular cousins in the bracket.

I assume that's why games like Mario 3D World and Skyward Sword aren't here. In fact I'm 99% sure it was implements specifically so those two franchises didn't flood the bracket If

Just as a reminder, CT did as well on FF10 as OoT did on FF9. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6147-best-game-ever-day-25-round-3-chrono-trigger-vs-final https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6155-best-game-ever-day-29-round-3-zelda-ocarina-of-time-vs-final And if you want to say FF10 is weaker than FF9, be prepared to defend putting it below KH1 as well: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6086-best-game-ever-day-9-final-fantasy-ix-vs-kingdom-hearts Link isn't the only one who kicks ass. Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Contest! |
What's the argument for CT > FFX not being SFF, again? Advokaiser is the man. Congrats! |
I think I actually like FFIX more, but it would still disgust me if it was stronger. |
Advokaiser posted... How did people even know about Tifa's rally... source? I was looking for rallies to archive and found it yes, that is the story I am sticking to (|| ' ' ||) drooling while eating . /|_|\ |
 first time a second rally has been made on the subreddit for a single match (|| ' ' ||) drooling while eating . /|_|\ |
MechanicalWall posted... Wasn't there are a two games per franchise rule? I assume that's why games like Mario 3D World and Skyward Sword aren't here. Ah, well that explains it. Link Between Worlds makes more sense as the second Zelda game since it's 2D and thus more "unique." Shame about the 2 per franchise rule though, since now that I think about it Mario Maker 2 could have likely put in some work.

DoctorJimmy133 posted... What's the argument for CT > FFX not being SFF, again? CT and FF have never SFF'd each other in any noticeable way, and CT was likely going to drop the same number on Melee (or darn close to it) before the rally started. |
ZenOfThunder posted...
if Hollow Knight wins submit this to Allen for blatant cheating |
We
need another games contest. Hopefully one that isn't overrun by rallies
again. I'd say a 90's game contest but we need to see BotW in action.
And we'd actually have a non-obvious winner! |
DoctorJimmy133 posted... What's the argument for CT > FFX not being SFF, again? FF10 and SSBM have largely been evenly matched during their entire lifetime. Using registered voters results from SSBM vs CT puts SSBM at roughly even with FF10 which is the expected results for non-SFF'd FF10 vs non-rallied SSBM. SBAllen said: Chrono Trigger vs. Smash Bros. Melee: 63.28% / 36.72% For registered users. On top of that we know from recent contests that registered users were likely to favor Nintendo in that match so that probably overrates SSBM by a percent or two. If CT is significantly weaker than OoT, it will also push SSBM below KH and FF9. Link isn't the only one who kicks ass. Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Contest! |
Ugh this OoT vs CT is now a weekly topic huh? Team Rocket Elite posted... Just as a reminder, CT did as well on FF10 as OoT did on FF9. I'm still not convinced that what happened to CT is not the 2015 equivalent of what happened to Mewtwo and to a lesser degree Snake in 2013. The contest went off rails when Undertale scored the win against ME3 very early on and we all got Draven PTSD so I take a lot of the later polls with a huge grain of salt. The FFIX and FFX polls are weird, but there's also the bonus poll where CT did 61% on FFVI while OoT did 59% on FFVII and I don't see FFVII falling to the point of almost losing to FFVI. Of course, I don't trust any of these polls at all, since there are all clearly affected by rallies and outside traffic and taking all these results on face value results in a lot of contradictions. congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru |
squexa posted... I'm still not convinced that what happened to CT is not the 2015 equivalent of what happened to Mewtwo and to a lesser degree Snake in 2013. I can tell you one big reason why it's different Chrono Trigger is impossible to rally for |
If you want to rally for Chrono Trigger, you go to GameFAQs Born to lose, live to win! |
also Mewtwo and Snake had big upsets and stuff to allow them to accumulate some sort of bandwagon CT beat Dragon Quest VIII and Ratchet & Clank before destroying FFX |
