Eh, whatever, I'll allow it since it's technically featured in a FF game. I do think Corridors of Time is a bit overrated though! CT has a great soundtrack, and it has several to choose from that are better than this. Still pretty good though! SuperNiceDog posted... Final Fantasy 8: The Landing Aw yeah, can't go wrong with this one. I can always picture the FMV that plays at the very beginning before the song kicks into high gear. It's easy to get into this song whenever it's playing. Hbthebattle posted... Final Fantasy Record Keeper - FF 30th Anniversary Medley Good grief, another medley, and this one's even longer than the last! Good selection of songs though. Anagram posted... FF1 Final Boss Theme This is pretty good. I feel like you can hear the rest of the series in this battle theme.

| LeonhartFour 03/17/20 3:21:28 PM #295 | #7 Painful Pick - Missingno > Tidus (2013) https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5211-character-battle-ix-division-8-round-1-missingno-vs-tidus-vs Okay, I didn't actually pick Tidus here, but it was mostly because I didn't want him in round 2 with Squall! I did think he had a chance though, and it was mostly how this thing ended that hurt! Anyway, by the time 2013 rolled around, I thought joke characters had for the most part run their course, and they were never as good the second time as they were the first time. We had already seen it with L-Block and Weighted Companion Cube. Missingno had scored one of the biggest upsets ever by beating Crono in the first round, but I expected a precipitous drop. There was no way he was beating Squall, for sure. Anyway, Missingno jumped out to a decent lead overnight, but Tidus slowly started chipping away at it and took the lead with a few hours to go. He didn't manage to build a lead past 100 votes, but he was keeping Missingno at bay until the last 30 minutes, when the Pokemon "clutch" kicked in with some suspicious spikes (n_n). By the time the match wrapped up, Missingno had edged Tidus out, while we all waited for some word from Allen about possible cheating. Eventually, he did make a topic, revealing that Tidus had cheated at twice the rate of Missingno! That really only meant that Missingno cheaters were better at covering their tracks, but still, now Tidus was not only labeled a choker but a bad cheater! Seriously, Tidus has had some of the worst contest luck ever. He's been in every Character Battle and has never made it to the third round. Meanwhile, Jecht shows up one time in 2010, makes it to round 3 with an easy draw, and laughs as he disappears from contest lore shouting that he's the best. Life imitating art, man. --- |

| LeonhartFour 03/17/20 3:07:24 PM #294 | #7 Bad Pick - Lightning > Donkey Kong (2013) & Tidus > Donkey Kong (2018) https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5222-character-battle-ix-division-9-round-1-lightning-vs-dk-vs https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7244-division-1-round-1-tidus-vs-donkey-kong For the first decade of the contest, Donkey Kong was viewed as a choker who would fold like a wet paper bag in the face of real competition, especially if it was another Nintendo character. For the most part, that had been true. Lightning was a weird case because she had gotten in to the 2010 Character Battle before Final Fantasy XIII had come out in the west and she did surprisingly well on Sonic. Then the game actually came out, and we know how that went. Still, there had been one sequel since then that was fairly well received, and Lightning Returns was also on the horizon at the time of this contest. Even if Lightning wasn't all that strong now, she should at least be able to win a match against Donkey Kong with Falco in the same poll, right? Well, when the match started, DK jumped out to a huge lead and left Lightning in the dust. This wasn't the same old ape anymore. But when 2018 rolled around and it was Donkey Kong vs. Tidus, two of the most notorious underperformers in contest history, I had to side with my boy Tidus, of course. He had beaten DK fairly easily back in 2008, but what I hadn't counted on that what had happened in 2013 was no mere fluke or Lightning just being terrible. This was the new reality for Donkey Kong, who went on to upset Leon Kennedy the next round before bowing out respectfully to Vivi. What changed? Well, for the first decade of the contest, Donkey Kong basically got nothing in the way of new games. Then in 2010, Donkey Kong Country returns dropped, and suddenly, he was back in the limelight with a well received game, and a sequel that was even better received. I will not doubt DK again. (don't sleep on Tropical Freeze in round 1 folks) --- |

| LeonhartFour 03/17/20 2:52:27 PM #292 | #7 Good Pick - Big Daddy > Ness (2010) & 2B > Ness (2018) https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3824-jenova-division-round-2-big-daddy-vs-ness https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7314-division-4-round-2-2b-vs-ness Ness has basically been our barometer for "average" since 2004. Anyone who has ever finished below him in a contest match has mostly been relegated to a history of contest mediocrity. The only characters who have lost to Ness and still managed to ever win anything else are Shadow and Zidane. Everyone else (Jak, CJ, Travis Touchdown, Geno, CATS, Locke) has either been a perennial loser or someone who vanished from the contests after losing to Ness, never to be seen again. Even Shadow and Zidane haven't exactly done a lot of winning. So in my opinion, if I believe you have a chance to be good, I'm picking you to beat Ness. I'm not even sure what motivated me to pick Big Daddy to beat Ness. He wasn't very impressive in his 2008 appearance, where he finished dead last behind Gordon Freeman, Scorpion, and Balthier. Maybe it was the vote-in before the contest started where he managed to quality despite some pretty impressive competition and Andrew Ryan from his own game sharing the poll with him, finishing only slightly behind Frog, Rikku, and Liquid Snake. Plus, Ness had kinda sucked in the two 4-way contests. Either way, it was a pick I felt fairly good about. When the match started, Ness jumped out to a 100 vote lead in the first 15 minutes. On the next update, Big Daddy cut it down to 25, and then the update after that, he was leading by 60. From there, he pretty much climbed the rest of the match for an easy win. Now with 2B, I definitely believed she had the potential to be strong. Automata had been released to outstanding reception, and 2B herself had done surprisingly well in a poll asking what dream character you'd like to see added to Smash Ultimate. I thought the potential was there, especially once you put a prominent picture of her on the front page. To be honest (see what I did there), 2B was also kind of a hedge bet since she was guaranteed to be there and I wasn't even sold that Ness was going to beat Shadow. I'm kind of doing that with some of my picks here and hoping it pays off! Anyway, when the match started, 2B jumped out comfortably ahead and never looked back. Ness brought the percentage down over the course of the day, but he was never in the match. --- |

| LeonhartFour 03/17/20 2:36:40 AM #272 | #8 Painful Pick - Street Fighter > Resident Evil (2006) https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/2448-ultima-division-semifinal-street-fighter-vs-resident-evil This is actually the match that made me think to do a "painful pick" list, like I mentioned earlier during tran's list. The Series Contest was so cookie cutter, and there were so few chances for you to stand out from the crowd. For me, this was the risk I took. Resident Evil was an overwhelming favorite on the board because there had been "Favorite Capcom series" polls in the past that Resident Evil had won, so everyone ended up siding with it. Then the match pic was revealed, and Resident Evil literally got a Resident Evil Gaiden match pic against the classic Street Fighter sprites (as an aside, I remember when people would randomly drop by the board and ask "who is this character and why are they winning?" the joke response was always to say they were the main character of Resident Evil Gaiden). I felt like this was my chance, even if it would've felt a little dirty to win because RE got such an awful match pic! In the end, Street Fighter kept it close most of the way, but it could never make a serious charge at taking the lead. Resident Evil pulled away a bit toward the end to give it a more comfortable margin of victory, but for a good while, I thought SF was going to pull it off! --- |

It does feel like a song that would play when you activate a Limit Break! Luis_Sera89 posted... Final Fantasy XIV - Sunrise I like this song, too. Every now and then, I enjoy a battle theme that's a bit more on the subdued side. It doesn't always need to be high energy or high tension! GuessMyUserName posted... yeahh FFCC games in general have a pretty distinctive atmosphere from mainseries stuff that's a folksy sort of cheerfulness. Part of why I really enjoy TCB is just how relaxing it is to play around so the music definitely contributes On the other hand, sometimes it's really good to have a battle theme that really pumps you up! Rock songs in video games can be kind of hit or miss for me, but I enjoy the intensity that this one brings. handsomeboy2012 posted... Dissdia Final Fantasy (Arcade) - Antipyretic Oh nice, a remix of a FFT battle theme, and a really cool one, at that. I enjoy an orchestral remix if it's done right. Also, fun fact: I entered a spelling competition my senior year of high school, and one of the words was "antipyretic," and I knew how to spell it because of this song! Who says video games don't teach you anything! trdl23 posted... I figured that was a shoo-in. I love it too. I like it. I don't really have anything specific to point out about it, but I like it. This is why I'm not doing an actual music list, because I can't come up with anything fancy to say about these songs other than pointing out whether I like them or not! Anagram posted... Hero's Theme Oh, it's another short theme from Tactics. This one is a bit more memorable. I do like this one because it has a sort of somber, bittersweet feeling to it, which is the right mood to take with Tactics. Kotetsu534 posted...
Heck yeah, I agree with you. I think FFX's regular battle theme gets all the hype, and the boss theme is a bit of an underrated gem. Whenever you hear a boss theme from a game, does a specific boss pop into your mind? It usually does for me. In this case, the boss I get reminded of is the fight with the Sin fin (the infamous fin that nearly beat Robotnik in 2005!) where the fin keeps moving around the battlefield as the fight progresses. This music really fits that part. Current ratings: 10 Im the best!

| LeonhartFour 03/17/20 2:17:43 AM #271 | #8 Bad Pick - Super Mario Galaxy > Super Metroid (2015) https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6137-best-game-ever-day-22-round-2-super-metroid-vs-super-mario This was a strange match because these were two Nintendo games that were supposed to be highly respected but had very unimpressive contest resumes. Super Mario Galaxy had lost to friggin' Call of Duty 4 twice in 2009 and was easily disposed of by Twilight Princess in 2010. Super Metroid had been tripled by LTTP in 2004 and got beat down by it again in 2009 after two narrow escapes against Super Mario Kart before that. I went with Super Mario Galaxy based on those Super Mario Kart results alone because I thought there's no way it would drop that. Plus, it's freakin' MARIO and Mario just doesn't lose to Metroid, right? Well, after the first round made it abundantly clear that '90s games were here to curbstomp this contest (including Super Metroid quadrupling the very same Call of Duty 4 that had beaten Super Mario Galaxy in 2009), it felt like the writing as on the wall, but I thought it could at least be a good match. Nope, Super Metroid jumped out to a 60/40 lead and pretty much held steady there the entire match. I don't know where in the world this version of Super Metroid was in the first two contests, but it wasn't messing around this time! It nearly beat Majora's Mask the next round, which then nearly beat LTTP the round after that. I used to think that Metroid Prime would beat it in a match if it came down to it, but that doesn't look to be the case now. --- |

| LeonhartFour 03/17/20 1:59:55 AM #270 | #8 Good Pick - Wrex > Cecil > Pit https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5214-character-battle-ix-division-8-round-1-pit-vs-wrex-vs-cecil Pit was the overall favorite on the board to win this match because he was coming fresh off of Kid Icarus: Uprising (a game that didn't make it into this contest, now that I think about it!), and Cecil had the second most picks. Wrex was a distant third. However, I was skeptical of Pit, who'd looked like trash in 2008 coming off of his inclusion in Brawl, of skyrocketing after a Kid Icarus game that apparently didn't gain wide traction. Then there was Cecil, who hadn't won a darn thing despite being given multiple chances to do so. I wish my 2018 self had listened to my 2013 self in that regard! I didn't see any reason to trust either character, while I felt that Mass Effect was at its peak. The reception to ME3 may have been infamously divisive, but people were nothing if not passionate about it and it didn't stop people from loving the fan favorites (which is part of why I worry about ME2's chances; BioWare and their terrible fanbase put all that passion into cold storage). If there was ever a time for someone like Wrex to win a match, it was now (I used the same rationale for taking Shepard > Aerith, which also paid off! Fast-forward five years and Shepard can barely beat King K. Rool and is getting doubled by Ryu; again, I worry about ME2). When the match started, it became clear pretty quickly that Pit had no chance since he was already dead last during Nintendo's best time. Cecil put up a fight for about an hour, and after that, Wrex pulled away and never looked back. I felt so good about Wrex's chances that I said I would go on The Show and sing Mordin's "Scientist Salarian" song if he pulled it off, which I did! I don't necessarily recommend that you go find that episode if you missed it because I'm a terrible singer, but it was fun! Man, I miss the days when Mass Effect was a thing. --- |

Well if it's well composed music you want... Ah yes, this is another good piano piece, although I think it pales in comparison to the original. It just doesn't have the same sense of tension and drama to it.

I actually respect Ganondorf's strength, although I don't think he's ever been quite as strong as most think outside of 2005 where he and Bowser were on steroids from the Villains Contest, for whatever the reason. --- |

It's not like I was silly like Lopen and taking Dante to beat him! I've been right about him a lot, and even when I've been wrong, it's not like the one I picked got blown out! --- |

| LeonhartFour 03/16/20 9:39:39 PM #259 | #9 Painful Pick - Kuja > Master Hand https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/2004-triforce-division-round-1-kuja-vs-master-hand This was the last time I legitimately got angry at a contest result. There have been times since then where I've been bummed out by a result, but I've never been able to work up anger at one. There were people talking up this as an upset pick, but I didn't buy it at all. Master Hand was such a joke. There surely weren't that many people who would vote for a friggin' glove over a well-developed Final Fantasy villain, right? Kuja even got the ideal match picture: His Trance form where he looked like a Super Saiyan rather than his girly thong appearance. Well, the day of the match arrived and Kuja jumped out big early, getting up to 57% by the first freeze (which was 15 minutes in back in those days). However, Kuja struggled to build any kind of lead at that point, and while it wasn't cutting the actual vote margin, Master Hand was steadily bringing the percentage down. Then once morning arrived, Master Hand started cutting and took the lead in a few hours. And then the glove just left Kuja in the dust, getting up to nearly 54% and winning by over 5000 votes by the end. It was so demoralizing to see how quickly everything turned. That was the first time we really got to see the day vote that Smash would become renowned for over time. Smash fans are the worst, man. --- |

| LeonhartFour 03/16/20 9:08:52 PM #450 | Lightning Strikes posted... Really Xenoblade is less niche than Metroid now and we all need to get used to that reality. to the average gamer maybe (and I doubt that, unless we're just talking about Japan) but not even close here Xenoblade is about as "niche" as Tales of Symphonia is lots of people like it but it feels like it has a pretty hard ceiling it can't break through when it comes to something mainstream --- |

| LeonhartFour 03/16/20 9:06:47 PM #258 | #9. Bad Pick - Zero > Luigi/Kirby & Zero > Pikachu https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/2526-blast-division-round-1-luigi-vs-zero https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7351-division-2-final-zero-vs-pikachu Speaking of Luigi's strong showing in 2006, here it is! I feel like I should've seen this one coming after the Nintendo Boost in 2005, where Luigi put up a good number on Tifa and Mario put a beatdown on Zero. I guess I still wanted to believe in the Zero who was such a beast in 2003 and 2004. I took him to beat both Luigi and Kirby, and while it's not like he got beaten that badly, it's still one of those picks that I regretted after brackets closed. But I don't think I've ever had instant regret on any pick after bracket lockdown than Zero > Pikachu. I don't know why this is the pick I went with, and it was made obvious after the first round that I had made the wrong pick when Pikachu blew the friggin' doors off of Scorpion. Seriously, I don't know what I was thinking with so many picks in the 2018 contest, but this was probably the most puzzling one of all. --- |

| LeonhartFour 03/16/20 8:46:08 PM #257 | #9 Good Pick - Luigi > Ganondorf (2007) & Vincent > Ganondorf (2006) https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/2915-division-5-final-ganondorf-luigi-master-chief-yuna https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/2524-blast-division-round-1-ganondorf-vs-vincent-valentine For the most part, I think Ganondorf sucks, and it sucks that he's considered to be among the most popular non-Noble Nine characters. He also beats a lot of really good characters, which makes it even more annoying! But I was glad to be on the right side of two picks where he got knocked out as the favorite. After Luigi's strong showing in the 2006 contest, I thought he was primed to score a big upset in the right conditions. Ganondorf was the heavy favorite to win this match (partly because most people didn't foresee Chief's GAME FUEL run, although I did have him going deep myself), but I was banking on one particular disadvantage: The third round has traditionally been the sprite round, and Ganondorf's ugly Bacondorf sprite was sure to show its ugly head. Ganondorf might be stronger when all things are equal (as round two demonstrated), but if the sprite round tradition continued, Luigi had a shot. Sure enough, that's exactly what happened, and Luigi was able to take advantage of it to edge out Ganon for second place. Now Vincent/Ganondorf was a hotly debated match. This was widely considered a match to determine the #10 character in the contest, or maybe even to be the guy to break the Noble Nine since they faced Sonic next round, who had often been the weak link in the group. There were many people picking the winner to upset Sonic, including our own Heroic Mario, who bet the most legendary B8 account of all-time on friggin' Ganondorf and lost it. Now this should not have been a round 1 match. This is probably the most high-powered first round match ever. It only ended up being a round 1 match because of the female bracket narrowing the field. I took Vincent to win here because I still had faith in my boy Squall. I thought Squall would beat Ganondorf 1-on-1 if it came down to it, so naturally since Vincent had beaten him the year before, Vincent was more likely to win this match. While my faith in Tidus has been woefully misplaced many times over, believing in Squall has worked out for me more times than not (let's never speak of 2018 again)! --- |

| LeonhartFour 03/16/20 6:14:05 PM #250 | #10 Painful Pick - Zidane > Knuckles & Cecil > Crash (2018) https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7247-division-2-round-1-zidane-vs-knuckles https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7256-division-3-round-1-crash-vs-cecil I made so many picks in 2018 that confuse even myself, and these are two of them. I guess I decided to take one final stand for Final Fantasy (which didn't work out for the most part). The closer we got to the start of the contest, the more I believed Knuckles had a real shot to beat Zidane, but I stubbornly stuck to my bracket. I think part of it is that I know I'm prone to talk myself into fanboy picks, and I just didn't want to let myself do that here, but I wish I had! The one that really frustrates me though was picking Cecil. I don't even know what I was thinking. I routinely make fun of how Cecil never wins anything in these contests, and I had Crash > Wheatley in 2013, so it's not like I believed Crash was bad fodder. I honestly cannot explain why I didn't take Crash even for the potential to laugh at Cecil because it's not like I thought he was a lock here. I just wish I had listened to my gut on both these picks. --- |
