swirl and I have been working on a project to bring the All Time Guru Rankings up to date, and we've just finalized everything. The main rankings simply add together all points from all Contests since the Guru started, with the 2004 Games Contest. If you'd like further info on the process, or to hear our thoughts on the top competitors, swirl and I discussed everything with yoblazer on this week's episode of The Show:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/78534703

By popular demand, I've also calculated the Guru Of The Decade list, which only covers results since we switched back to 1v1s for the Character Battle in 2010. Those results can be found further down the thread. First, some cool stats!

* 685 different users have competed in the Guru Contest over the years
* 9 "true Gurus" have submitted a bracket for every single competition- and all of them are active in 2020 as well (with live GotD entries). they are...

charmander
ChichiriMuyo
cyko
DomaDragoon
Ngamer
swirldude
TRE
Ulti
Z1mZum

The complete ranking (including year by year results) is here:

If you see anything that's inaccurate with your results or someone else's, let us know! (BTW, a * indicates a Guru Champion.) Without further ado, the best Gurus of all Time are...

Okay, but obviously the above rankings were going to be weighted heavily toward the most ancient of B8 dinosaurs who have been active in the Stats topic for 15+ years. What if we only looked at the results of the last seven brackets, starting with the return of the 1v1 format in the 2010 Character Battle- then who would be the Guru of the Decade?

The results... may shock you!

I didn't expect to be top 25 for the last decade, but I'll take it.

Still a bit annoyed I missed one of the early contests to not be on the "true guru" list, I think it was due to not having internet at home at the time, but as I mentioned in the Show topic, the fact I have only missed 1 contest is the only reason why I'm top 10 overall.

It was easy to be great. Every entertainer has a night when everything is clicking. These nights are accidental and statistical: Like lucky cards in poker, you can count on them occurring over time. What was hard was to be good, consistently good, night after night, no matter what the abominable circumstances.

Also, I don't know the best way to measure it or if anybody wants to put in the work for it, but it'd be cool to see a way to do a best average score of some sort -- something that said "across all contests they participated in, _____ did ### well.". That way, we could cross-compare from the dinosaurs who missed one contest to the dinosaurs who missed three contests, plus we could see some people who didn't enter many contests but still did well stand out and get noticed too.

The GotD-recap is a great compromise on this concept I'm asking about, cool idea -- just didn't know if there was an interest in this angle too or not.

Great job summing this up!

Best way would probably be to just get the percentage of each contest and average them out.

So take actual score/total points for each contest and average them out

I'm not even sure how you quantify which contests are more difficult. Maybe you could apply a modifier based on the average guru score for that contest?

I figure accommodating for the difficulty would be most simply solved by either using the #1 score on the scoreboard or #1 score on the Guru list to compare scores against rather than against the score of a perfect bracket. Just going by memory here, but I think GameFAQs had perfect brackets in the Series Contest and Years Contest -- we may have a Guru or three with some of those golden eggs. Somebody could do poorly in comparison on those contests but still look better than a bunch of the best people in 2013's contest if the consistent comparison between contests is one's score VS a perfect bracket. My opinion is it's dependent on what it means to say "the best a Guru can do."

Side-note here, but we definitely have a lot of repeat-players for these contests. 488 Gurus this past decade out of 685 overall since the beginning...I know a lot of them will be new or one-timers, but also I know a lot of them would not be. Pretty cool to see these numbers.
