Fun fact: if Lightning is around Tidus level, then DK might beat Leon before Leon even has the chance to lose to Vivi

ok transience

Well this round just killed me. Lost everyone except Vivi. Youd think the Dragonborn would do better considering Skyrims been the most popular game here since it came out...

Always.

That's like looking at who won a sports championship 5 years ago and betting money solely on them to win again beforebtheybe even played game 1.


I don't follow the NBA that closely, but picking the Warriors to win in 2020 is a pretty solid pick, isn't it? >_>

The difference is that in sports, you have actual data from the last five years that is more accurate. You can look at footage from the same players from last week

Also, if we're going off the idea of DK being deceptively stronger in 2013, does that have any bearing to you regarding Charizard >= Zelda > DK in 2013? As in, do you think the Charizard/Zelda part would have gone differently without DK in the context of this new understanding we're building around DK?


I always felt Zelda would have won had Donkey Kong not been in the match.

Sure which is like picking link to win. Safe and smart pick.

Trying to predict who gets the 7th seed in the west or something? Last years data is absolutely useless lol

I still feel like Leon should beat DK, I just panicked when I realized Leon got 62% on Tidus with Vivi in the poll and thought that meant Leon would have gotten 57% straight-up.

Not sure if joking.

Sports teams' rosters change constantly. Forget between seasons. Even within seasons, making a few roster changes can give a team a significant boost, or unexpected injuries can cause a downturn.

That's why it's so impressive for teams to win back-to-back championships, or even go on a run of making the playoffs for many consecutive years.

Lightning's being overrated here. She's not strong, she's just recognizable against a character from a type of game that has little clout on GameFAQs. If a Life Is Strange kinda character doesn't catch outside support, they'll be worthless on this site. I remember how much hype The Walking Dead games had, especially for Clementine, and then she got doubled by Spyro (who was probably weaker at the time than what we saw yesterday).

Falcon is more popular among the Smash community, but I think taking him over DK on GameFAQs is a dubious proposition. That would be quite a reversal of the SFF hierarchy, but then again, I have Kirby>Zard/Bowser this year, so I feel like I don't have too much ground to stand on.

He is. Lightning is the 3rd strongest FF female right now, maybe 2nd(behind Tifa only).

1) Tifa
2) Aerith/3)Lightning(debateable)
4) Yuna
5) Terra

I'd pick Lightning to beat Yuna also. Lightning vs Aerith I think would be close.

Well, weve only had one other contest with this format, but Games 2015 gave us a day in Round 2 with

Mario 3 vs Pokmon RBY
Uncharted 2 vs Sonic 2
Fallout 3 vs Undertale
Mario World vs FF8

That was quite the day in terms of debated matches with far reaching consequences.

It's not always indicative of final results. They got gordan so even with him getting like 5 targets a game defenses have to acknowledge him and it opens up the run game for Michael.

If NE and KS meet in the playoffs I'll take KS. That was probably the best game of the season so far though. Gronk probably wont remain healthy..

Also they got slapped around by blake Bortles and company

The mod pinned a link to the contest on the Reddit like a week ago.

They took it down, but assume they'll do it again.

Now the Reddit is small, so I'm banking on Monika losing to Zero. But it could spread to other communities, in whic case... save_us_link.

Also you are lying to them when you say rallying is "encouraged".

Not only it isn't but it's guaranteed to turn both this place and that subreddit into shit for the duration of the contest. There's a reason LoL and Undertale are the two subreddits that don't allow rallies.

Uncharted isnt that popular on GameFAQs. Drake himself isn't much stronger than Pac-Man and hes the face of the series. A side character like Sully was bound to be much weaker and probably loses to any attractive female RPG protagonist. Not a knock against the character or the series, but his fans should honestly be happier it isnt a worse beating than this.
