Topic | How would they do in a contest? Day 369 ft Matt the Mii, Cirno, Commander Video |
MetalmindStats 06/17/20 6:04:44 PM #5 | Agree with half_silver. Video's 2013 result against Squall, when taken at face value, puts him at ~6.5-7% on Base Link, which isn't quite among the worst we've ever seen in a character battle. Yes, Squall has an antivote complex, but Rayman probably hurt Video at least a bit to compensate. --- "I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people who do." azuarc won the 2020 Guru Contest because he avoided picking rashly. |

Most of the characters facing off in wildcards should be pretty self-explanatory - there's a lot of full clones, a few semi-clones, and some transformations/alter-egos/characters who share(d) the same roster spot. If I'm not mistaken, the Arms character will be announced and released very soon. In that case, I think the best way to make room will be to force Marth, Roy, Lucina, and Chrom into a fatal fourway match. --- "I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people who do." azuarc won the 2020 Guru Contest because he avoided picking rashly. |

Topic | How would they do in a contest? Day 365 ft Prince of All Cosmos, Raz, Kat |
MetalmindStats 06/13/20 5:37:26 PM #5 | I'm very confident in Low Fodder for the Prince. For starters, that 2007 result wasn't exactly a rousing endorsement of his strength. There's never been a point when getting near-quadrupled by Kratos was good for anything better than Low Fodder, even giving the Prince a bunch of credit for potential overlap with DK and Marth. Likewise, nearly suffering a doubling from a Marth on the bad end of Nintendo LFF was hardly impressive. As for how his series has held up, Katamari Damacy did look to be around Mid Fodder in the first GotD, when the series was actually relevant. It's effectively died since then, with only one notable release since 2011, in the form of a remake of the original - and the consequent Switch release hardly helped Tropical Freeze, for one. Even if Damacy itself has stayed static despite all that, though, I see no reason to believe a player character no one cares about will be as strong as his main game. I will agree with Low Fodder for Raz and Kat, though. --- "I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people who do." azuarc won the 2020 Guru Contest because he avoided picking rashly. |

Topic | ~~ Ctes' Post-Contest Analysis (PCA) ~~ |
MetalmindStats 06/11/20 5:52:22 PM #281 | ctesjbuvf posted... Theres only so much you can bandwagon from beating a Three Houses game, especially when everyone was just trashing Fire Emblem and giving that much of the reason.I think you reversed these two by accident. Also, I can't say I agree with your take on the bandwagons in this match. You seem intently focused on B8's perceptions of each game's runs and the likelihood thereof, which I'd argue greatly overstates B8's influence on the process. Case in point: an outright majority of Gurus took Super Mario RPG to the divisional finals in 2015, giving it an over 2-to-1 advantage against second place, and yet no one in their right mind would deny that Mario RPG was on a bandwagon by that point. Like it or not, Xenoblade reaching this match was almost as big an upset from a sitewide perspective as P4G doing the same was. There were two real differences in the two games' paths to get there: one, that sitewide brackets respected Overwatch and Three Houses less than RDR and GTAV, and two, that P4G squeaked by two matches in a row (which does seem to matter in the bandwagon process, as evidenced by Geralt in 2018). Now, those factors do admittedly favor a stronger P4G bandwagon, but they also suggest that Xenoblade was bandwagoning in its own right. Likewise, the various layers of extrapolation available also imply that the two games were operating under comparable, though perhaps not identical, circumstances. The alternative forces some pretty weird assumptions, like P4G not boosting at all from Persona 5's release and the aftermath thereof, or Twilight Princess and Skies of Arcadia both declining from 2010 to 2015 in lockstep. As a final side note, I'm not sure what your basis for saying things look totally off in Xenoblade's half of the division if Xenoblade alone was bandwagoning is. It's not like we have any sort of reliable gauge for anything in that half anyways. Now, I'm not trying to argue that Xenoblade had the only bandwagon against P4G - I agree that claim would be highly suspect - but is it really impossible for Xenoblade not to have gained as much as we thought, and for Three Houses to have been SFF'd and/or damaged greatly by Smash backlash relative to its GotY finals result? --- "I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people who do." azuarc won the 2020 Guru Contest because he avoided picking rashly. |

I mean, he was basically equal to Claire Redfield despite being listed in the bracket under a name no one knows, before getting announced into Smash. Claire is probably a good candidate for lower midcard herself.Independent of the point which others have already addressed, Claire was not good that year. Perhaps she was hampered by a bad picture, but even still, she barely avoided being doubled by Sub-Zero, doing 4% worse than Shulk in the process. Now, RE2make and an actually good pic would maybe put her at the low midcard level now, but certainly not back in 2018. --- "I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people who do." azuarc won the 2020 Guru Contest because he avoided picking rashly. |

I won't disagree with you about the second part, though! Underleveled posted... Hot take - Magus hasn't fallen too far from where he always truly was.100% agree with this, and I'll add that his current suckitude remains highly overstated. Magus comfortably breaks 40% on Auron and very nearly reaches 40% on Sonic through direct 2018 extrapolation, both results almost exactly on par with Sub-Zero. I know B8 widely used that Vincent match as an opportunity to laugh at both characters (Vincent for being that weak, and Magus for choking yet again), but what it disguised is that they're both actually decent midcarders now, even if Vincent has fallen quite a bit from his peak. There's also CT's ludicrous 2015 strength, relative to which it just makes sense that its characters wouldn't be seeing their worst days, just as their results indicate. --- "I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people who do." azuarc won the 2020 Guru Contest because he avoided picking rashly. |

MetalmindStats 06/09/20 3:12:50 PM #7 | Agree with Ranticoot & co., though I'll say that Ranticoot's way overstating Laharl's weakness circa 2007. Hale wasn't LAW Fodder back then, nor was he even all that close. Also second all of Axem's nominations in posts 4-5. --- "I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people who do." azuarc won the 2020 Guru Contest because he avoided picking rashly. |
