Board 8 > The Show EP 2 - Breaking Down the Rivals Bracket PART ONE (w/ Alec!)

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Samus/Ridley is gonna be pretty bad for a Noble Nine rivalry.

My two biggest beefs on bracket placement:

1. Tidus/Jecht vs. Big Boss/The Boss in round 1. Why does Bacon hate me so much?
2. In addition to Squall/Sora YET AGAIN, Squall/Seifer getting fed to Cloud/Sephiroth after their division. I wanted to see how that rivalry would do against a top tier rivalry without the effect of SFF. Like, I wanted to see how Squall/Seifer would do against something like Samus/Ridley. Instead, they'll get hammered by SFF, and we won't know how strong that rivalry really is.

The one thing that may help Jill/Nemesis is the fact that Kirby/Meta Knight is a Kirby series rivalry. We know Kirby and Meta Knight are popular primarily because of Smash Bros., and Kirby games are not very popular here.

If you think rivalries actually matter this time around, I give Jill/Nemesis a small shot.

Special thing to note about Donkey Kong: This is the first time in the entire history of these contests that Donkey Kong had a major release between contests.

The first time.

Think about it.

It's "yoo-nuh."

"Yoh-nuh" is a character in Nier, which you guys should totally play!

And yeah, Star Fox has a ridiculous day vote. I think some of that has to do with their Smash Bros. popularity.

Excellent, everyone pronouncing "Tidus" correctly on The Show.

Well done, crew.

Wait, yoblazer, you betrayed me! Last week, you told me you pronounced it correctly because of Kingdom Hearts!

I trusted youuuuuuuuuuuu

Vinateri was using his god powers on the Pats and then was like "Wait I'm a Colt now lol" and now you have it.

Ramza wasn't in Dissidia.

Can't believe no one has corrected that yet!

Also, Crash Bandicoot isn't as bad as people think. Crash finished 124th in the raw stats thanks to being behind Mega Man/Hayabusa, Mario/Mega Man, and Link/Mario, poor guy. Pac-Man/Crash, barring some weird SFF nonsense, is a 55/45 match at best. Hayabusa got less than 62% on Crash in a night match, and Hayabusa 55/45s Pac-Man, too, at least.

Also, I've got Nightmare/Siegfried over Ramza/Delita, but that match is probably making me more nervous than any other round 1 match. Ramza lost to friggin' Hogger and nearly lost to Laharl, and Delita's going to be even weaker.

But yet that match makes me nervous because that feels like a surprise 55/45 win for Ramza/Delita.

Ramza/Delita is the worst "rivalry" in this contest, by the way. It is in no sense of the word a rivalry.

Great episode, guys! Well balanced in terms of participation from the entire crew, lots of good insight! Looking forward to next week's episode!

Ramza wasn't in Dissidia.

Can't believe no one has corrected that yet!

Wow, excellent. Thanks for pointing that out. I might have actually switched to Ramza on the assumption he was in Dissidia, and there's no way I would have researched that to make sure.

Leon savin my bracket

As repayment, I'll admit a truth: I had that little talkin softball diddy all planned.

DRACULA HAS POWER! Name power

I think the name power is minimized when he gets coupled up with Alucard because it limits things to a particular Dracula.

(I don't think Dracula as a fictional character would be very strong anyway)

Giving him good pictures.
