Zelda was beating Link for a while so yeah. So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |
Eh, just for 10 minutes after she came into the match with a huge bandwagon against the character with the worst board vote. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to Advokaiser, the winner of the Character Battle X guru contest. |
We all know Zelda only beat Squall because she got an ass in BOTW. |
Just wait for the FFVIII remake. Squall's ass is gonna light up the world |
pjbasis posted... Just wait for the FFVIII remake. Squall's ass is gonna light up the world Nah it'll be covered by 5 belts. |
I don't understand this BOTW ass reference. Care to explain? So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |
Safer_777 posted... I don't understand this BOTW ass reference. Care to explain? When the game came out there was that shot of Zelda bending over messing with flowers or doing something. |
So that is what people noticed about the game? Damh. So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |
You make it sound like it's the only thing, which is obviously not the case >_> Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to Advokaiser, the winner of the Character Battle X guru contest. |
Well no but it was the first thing right? So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |
Safer_777 posted... I don't understand this BOTW ass reference. Care to explain? Link has a great ass in BotW, and his title there is pronounced the same as "nice ass" in Japanese. There's a whole lot of porn about guys banging Link's sexy ass. All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. (edited 4/23/2020 12:13:23 PM) |
Legend of Zelda: Butt of the Wild |
About
the appeal of GTA, the way I understand it III was a massive revelation
at the time because of how much player freedom it offered in a
reasonably believable urban landscape. So basically the appeal is that you can mess around and do whatever you like. And there's the plot if you like crime fiction like me. "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
The
appeal of GTA is barreling down a sidewalk of pedestrians in the nicest
car you can jack, then getting out of it and blowing the survivors up
with a rocket launcher No need to overstate it. That's what GTA is to like 97% of the 100 million+ who bought GTAV 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've been thinking about the Second Chance contest. Barring anything crazy, its going to take a perfect bracket to win. There are 4 matches that basically everyone trying to win will agree on. Smash/Odyssey winner over Xeno/P4G and Zelda winning 3 times to reach the final. In addition, Xenoblade, Witcher, Persona 5, and Dark Souls will be heavy favorites to win their divisions. We're really only debating RE2/ME2, Smash/Odyssey, and QF/SF matches in the bottom half. Add a couple more if Pokemon beats Nier by a lot or MK8 gets close to Skyrim. If we ran a Guru contest for this, would we even get 30 unique brackets? |

GoldSlime35 posted... There's no way we should run a Guru for it, but I'd love if the existing Gurus could submit their second chance brackets so we can evaluate where people are deviating in their second chance brackets.

Oh yeah, I know there wouldn't be a contest for this. I just feel that every board regular is going to have a similar bracket, and there will be lots of duplicates. Plus a few outliers going for rallies. |
What's this Second Chance thing? There's no losers bracket right |
Yeah, I imagine we would get a bunch of perfects unless a rally takes over (even then someone might take Witcher 3 to win). I'd prefer an oracle type contest... Game of the Decade 2 - Current Score: 136/152 Today's Picks: P4G and XBC |
pjbasis posted... What's this Second Chance thing? There's no losers bracket right No, there's a weeklong break after this round and you can predict the remaining matches. |
There
should be no second chance brackets IMO, mainly for the reasons stated
that they'd be so similar. And I say this as someone who was P4G,
Skyrim, and TLOU winning. Last finished: Big Adventure of Owata's Life (PC), Blasteroids (ARC), Asteroids (Atari 8 Bit), Space Invaders (NEC PC-98). |
Also bracket voting would be even more one-sided. Last finished: Big Adventure of Owata's Life (PC), Blasteroids (ARC), Asteroids (Atari 8 Bit), Space Invaders (NEC PC-98). |
With
15 matches in the second chance bracket there are 32768 different
brackets that can be made. If you make BotW win all four of its matches
the permutations drop to 2048. You can drop it to 256 by assuming
Witcher 3 > GoW, Skyrim > HGSS/NieR and SSBU/SMO >
P4G/Xenoblade. At that rate each one of Luster's alts can make a bracket
and he can essentially guarantee that one of them will be perfect. Game of the Decade 2 - Current Score: 136/152 Today's Picks: P4G and XBC |

Wrong comment, should've voted for FE3H! Last finished: Big Adventure of Owata's Life (PC), Blasteroids (ARC), Asteroids (Atari 8 Bit), Space Invaders (NEC PC-98). |

 Can we PLEASE make this copypasta (|| ' ' ||) drooling while eating . /|_|\ |
Only weeb crap I see here is Fire Emblem and it's losing |
Wow, the GTAV anti-voting is real. It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |
*checks results*... P4G hasn't dropped in ages. I guess it's game over, right? It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |
Advokaiser posted... Wow, the GTAV anti-voting is real. eh I didn't think it was gonna be a whole lot stronger than RDR if it even is so this is pretty normal. |
Best part is "childhood" in quotation marks like ouch Advokaiser is the man. Congrats! |

Advokaiser posted... *checks results*... GTAV needs to cut over 19 votes per update which at this point would 100% require a rally, and there's no reason to suspect sucha big one would happen now. Advokaiser is the man. Congrats! |
DoctorJimmy133 posted... GTAV needs to cut over 19 votes per update which at this point would 100% require a rally, and there's no reason to suspect sucha big one would happen now. Yeah, like, everyone on the internet right now just refuses to rally for it for some reason. It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |
GTA5 currently has 197k viewers on Twitch. Only takes 1 donation to a big streamer to end it. |
lordjers posted... That and abusing and killing hookers. Yeah just like how JRPGs are just for rotating models of your waifus and fapping. That's what 97% of all fire emblem sales go to. |

always sunny title card GTAV wins Game of the Decade 2 |
UltimaterializerX posted... I'm going to do this just to prove Twitch doesn't matter. We covered this last contest. That's what rallies boil down to at the end of the day. Most of them fail but it only takes 1 to stick to turn a match. |
UltimaterializerX posted... I'm going to do this just to prove Twitch doesn't matter. We covered this last contest.Yeah, any streamer that has the base to swing this match also has a Twitch chat that scrolls so fast, you would never be able to have anything remotely close to a conversation in. Nobody is going to take the time to click the link, much less vote for GTA, and figure out what to vote for in the Nintendo RPG match. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2020 Guru contest winner. |
You would need to donate enough to get the vapid streamer to read it out load. Imagine spending actual money to have people read something |
I
mean clearly you wouldn't post it in chat. Any big streamer doesn't
even allow links in chat for Terms of Service reasons. The only way to
go about it is a donation large enough that the Text To Speech reads it
aloud, with something like, "Hey GTAV is currently losing in a match on
Gamefaqs". No link, but that's the only way to get the chat's attention, regardless of whether the streamer acknowledges it or not. Anything else is just doing it wrong! You do see it happen with other stuff though. The massive streamers sometimes get donations with messages that are clearly advertisements. Getting a message read to 20 thousand people for $5 is a solid deal. The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history. (edited 4/23/2020 2:55:42 PM) |
White_Turtle posted... Imagine spending actual money to have people read something It'd be dope if I managed to get GDQ speedrunners to show the Manipulable Whip in the Credits Glitch in SCIV through a donation or two, though. It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |
The
NoPixel RP streamers and their chats are incredibly into GTAV, that's
one community that I could actually see being interested. Of course,
again, the streamer is not going to acknowledge it but that doesn't
actually matter. The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history. |
One
person here actually has to bite the bullet and donate though, and no
one will. They'll just throw and suggestions and wink wink nudge nudge
that someone else should. It's Reyn Time. |
