Yes, and look at the chaos it's wrought

We live in a different timeline if Blastoise beats Squirtle by that 1 vote

Indeed. Blastoise could have been the chosen one. You may be responsible for Draven. How do you live with yourself?

Not even all the bad characters who won NRT slots, like Kerrigan.

I mean like I said before, who am I to knock a rally for a character that at least one person really wanted to see?

I remember a lot of discussion for Kerrigan long before she got in. Same with Geno. Was he a NRT character?

Know who else was discussed a lot back in like 2004/5? Bass. Did we abandon that long ago? I dont remember him ever getting in.

The first NRT winners (back before the 2005 contest) were Lloyd Irving, Kerrigan, Leon Kennedy, Tifa, and Ocelot. All of them made it in, and all of them either won matches or were at least involved in highly entertaining losses. Might be the most successful class we had.

But either way, the point of the NRT is to get characters into the contest who could win matches, not just be characters people want to see in the contest.

Not a bad inaugural class. Lloyd and Leon probably would have gotten in regardless though fresh off of popular releases.

Or at least it used to be. Seeing Godot and Estelle among this year's winners means we've just run out of good options or that's not really the standard anymore, but I didn't run it this time.

I feel like some of the non-NRT rallies we have going on are more likely to win matches than most of the NRT, like Metal Man, Metal Sonic, the last few Melee snubs, Monika, etc.

XIII's not being mean, he's just saying that from SB's perspective it's silly to give the 128th slot to something that got 21 B8 noms and has a very limited appeal (which happens every year) instead of Darth Vader, who (probably) has a large fanbase on this site and millions of fans outside of it. Some of whom might get interested in the bracket and follow the results and eventually become new every-day site visitors and message board posters. Which is, you would think, the main thing a site administrator would want out of a big Contest.

The Jane Eyre thing was always ridiculous; calling it the "All Fictional Contest" was just a shorthand, no one was suggesting Zero versus The Phantom of the Opera in round one. We just didn't want to have to keep typing "All Video Game Characters No Matter Where They Originated Contest". So, I understand his confusion there... sort of, but still don't know why he's so opposed to the idea now that he knows what we're actually pushing.

Metal Man and Metal Sonic aren't winning anything without extremely favorable draws. Monika isn't winning anything without a rally. I mean, Godot and Estelle aren't either, but 2B and Guile can at least be low midcarders.

AxemRedRanger posted...

Because he's "cool," I guess. People thought he could at least match Protoman, but I think it was always pretty unlikely since Bass shows up too late in the series (and in a couple of games that aren't very well liked to begin with).

Metal Sonic isnt winning anything unless he gets like a 4 seed and is up against a tertiary Tales character

Which is what I was hoping for but its unlikely

I probably should slightly elaborate that I would take Metal Sonic/Metal Man over at least a couple of the NRT winners.

SB's probably going to close the form and unsticky this in the afternoon so in case he skims the topic...

Don't mean to be a Debbie Downer, any Contest is cool and having Characters back after such a long absence should be fantastic! New gaming characters who originated in other mediums would have been a nice cherry on top, but I'm still very excited to see how this bracket shapes up regardless.

Thanks a bunch!

I think you undersell him a bit. I bet he'd beat any Tales character not from Symphonia.

although maybe not being in Symphonia is enough to make you tertiary

I am definitely hyped for another Game of the Decade contest in early 2020 (Winter/Spring) for the 2010-2019 decade. The previous GotD contest was one of the best contests we had, so another one would be great to have.
