https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/4047-day-1-which-game-would-you-most-like-to-see-in-the-game-of

For our first vote-in, Assassin's Creed and Devil May Cry dominated, getting nearly 40% between them. I wonder how much would change if we did this poll now. AC probably doesn't win now since this was back before we hit the point of fatigue with the series, but it probably still gets second place because it's pretty weak competition. Beyond that, it's hard to say.

that's where I'm at with Calvin Ridley with the Titans

everyone swore that he'd be Ward's favorite target so I drafted him in fantasy

and yeah he's got the most targets but he has one catch on six targets today and no TDs through three games

If McCarthy doesn't come back in the next two weeks, we're exporting Wentz vs. Rodgers and Wentz vs. Flacco to the UK

Oh, I see that a second season has already been confirmed, nice. I assume it'll also be ten episodes. Hopefully it won't be a long wait.

I still miss longer seasons of shows. I get that you can make longer episodes on streaming and you can cut out filler episodes altogether, but I kinda miss the filler episode that doesn't advance the plot at all and is just the characters hanging out and doing dumb things. At least they don't do clip shows anymore.

Yeah, I don't think Ultimate or Remake helps Sephiroth that much. Everyone from the Noble Nine is in Smash now except for Crono, and it wasn't like he was a big shock or super anticipated because Cloud beat him to the punch. Sephiroth is also the biggest downgrade in Remake from his original characterization of all the major characters, so that won't help him either.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/2130-tournament-of-champions-semifinal-sephiroth-vs-mario

This is low-key one of the most impressive performances ever. Mario had spent two months dominating the contest, building up momentum, and Sephiroth wasn't even in the main bracket. On top of that, he had been underwhelming in the Villains Contest against Nintendo's biggest bad guys. However, Sephiroth stomped Mario into the ground from the jump. He had over 58% during the night vote before the day vote brought the final score down. Mario won one update and tied one other. Even with the power of the Nintendo Boost behind him, the gap between Clinkeroth and the rest of the Noble Nine was still wide indeed.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/2123-tournament-quarterfinal-solid-snake-vs-bowser

In the first three Character Battles, the sprite round had been the third round. For whatever the reason, CJayC changed it to the fourth round for this contest. As such, Snake got his infamous sprite against Bowser, someone considered a threat by some to beat him and break the Noble Nine. For the first several hours, it seemed like there was no cause for concern, as Snake had nearly 56% and built up a 1000 vote lead.

As we got closer to the morning vote, Snake's percentage quickly began to tank, but he was still slowly increasing his lead. He peaked at a 2161 vote lead right before the halfway point of the match. Then Bowser went to work. He got the lead under 1000 votes in five hours, so he was on pace to complete the comeback. However, the closest he could get was 750 votes, and Snake used the second night vote to put the match out of reach, winning by nearly 1200 votes in the end.

For the second year in a row, Snake had suffered a close call in the sprite round. This would be the last year that it would be a concern though, thanks to a couple of game announcements that would take place between this contest and the next.

I guess, but one of them actually speaks to you, so I'd imagine that's the one we'd be ranking there, even if it's never given a name.

Like I get that people are wanting to rank that one specific enemy instead of an enemy type but it's got nothing to do with the game itself. It's just a meme, not a character.

If that's allowed, then sure. People can like things for whatever reason they want. It's just arguable whether this can actually be considered a character.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/2109-devil-division-round-2-knuckles-the-echidna-vs-squall

Speaking of Squall, he was the clear favorite coming into this match, but a bandwagon began forming around Knuckles from the moment he beat Magus. This wasn't too surprising because this was back when Squall was a more divisive character on the board, and B8 loves an underdog run. Knuckles kept it close during the board vote, but it didn't take long for Squall to take the lead as he gradually built up to around 57% overnight. The Sonic day vote allowed Knuckles to make the final score a little more respectable, but he was never in it beyond the opening minutes.

Now Squall had put up a similar performance on Knuckles that Vincent had put on Dante, so the question now was who would win between Dante and Knuckles. Dante had been ahead of Knuckles in the X-Stats in 2003 and 2004 and now he had DMC3, to boot, so Vincent seemed like the favorite going in now. Looking back, it's pretty likely that Knuckles did bandwagon and overperform here because he ended up noticeably higher in the final X-Stats than he usually did. Despite Magus being exposed as an overrated fraud, he still managed to be more overrated than we thought...!

Knuckles developed a reputation as the Square Killer over the years, and for good reason. Every year except for 2002, he finished ahead of at least one Square character. He finished 10-1 against Square, with his lone loss coming here against Squall.

2003 - Yuna
2004 - Kefka
2005 - Magus
2007 - Rikku and Vaan
2008 - Fei Fong Wong
2010 - Cecil
2013 - Celes and Seifer
2018 - Zidane

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/2104-dream-division-round-2-kirby-vs-tidus

Tidus was a heavy favorite pre-contest. Even after their first round performances, he remained the favorite, with 60 Oracle picks as opposed to 23 for Kirby, but the average was only 51.19% for Tidus. Many people were still clinging to their brackets here for one reason or another. Kirby exploded out of the gate with 59% at the freeze, but we knew he had a great board vote and Tidus didn't, so we weren't ready to call it over just yet. However, it became apparent soon after this that it was over.

Tidus managed to use the night vote to bring the percentage down a ways, but Kirby crushed him with the day vote and managed to beat him with almost exactly the same percentage as he had gotten on Ramza in 2003. At this point, it was hard to deny that we were dealing with a stronger Kirby, and that Tidus had been a fraud all along. We had also gotten owned by the casuals here, with Kirby having a 54.53% prediction percentage.

In terms of blindsided, Squall > Luigi was close just because of the margin. There were a few people who picked Squall to win, but the Oracle average was Luigi with 60%, and I believe it's still the biggest margin the Oracle average has ever been off from the final result.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/2088-devil-division-round-1-magus-vs-knuckles-the-echidna

This is still one of the most shocking round 1 upsets we've ever had. Many people thought Magus could beat Sonic, and yet here he was, losing to Knuckles. Even someone like me, who thought he was a fraud, didn't think he was this overrated. The Oracle average was a little over 60% for Magus, and nobody in the Oracle, BOP, or Guru picked Knuckles to win this match.

When the match started, things seemed to going according to plan. Magus was at around 58.5% at the freeze, but on the next update, he dropped a full two percent. 20 minutes in, he was under 55% now, and people began to acknowledge he might be in trouble against Squall. As he continued to stall, then we began to think Magus might actually lose this. After all, Sonic had a great day vote, and CT had a terrible one.

The first cut for Knuckles came an hour and a half into the match. The peak lead for Magus was 646 votes two and a half hours in, and then the comeback began. Knuckles had the leak five hours later and left Magus in the dust. The lead actually peaked at around 2700 votes, and then Magus cut off about a thousand votes toward the end to make it look slightly less embarrassing. Regardless, this was a historic upset. Only 35% of the site had Knuckles winning this one. Naturally, the board immediately began rooting for Knuckles to beat Squall next round, but more on that when the time comes.

Magus would only finish in 1st place again one time after this, and that was his round 1 match in 2013.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/2074-gear-division-round-1-solid-snake-vs-manny-calavera

Believe it or not, this was considered a small disappointment for Snake because the Oracle average was around 87% for him here. Plus, he'd had the infamous Tanner match the year before, and nobody really knew what to expect from Manny Calavera, who mostly got in due to a campaign from Shake. We already knew Guybrush weak, but would Manny actually be worse? Well, Manny ended up finishing 2nd to last in the final X-Stats (ahead of only Yuri Hyuga, sadly), so yeah, he was pretty weak, but the days of breaking 90%+ were largely over.

Also Snake got a Metal Gear Acid pic both this round and next. Remember those PSP games?

Leon I'm sorry but you still seem to be living in a pre-2016 mindset.

These people won't change because they enjoy being bad people and were just waiting for a social shift where they would be celebrated for being bad. Hogan was never going to change and there was never hope for him changing because he was happier being garbage and got more support for being garbage.

Eh, sorry, not ready to become that much of a cynic quite yet
