@Exodecai Yeah I agree. I think Nanis23 tried rallying for Geralt but couldn't do it.

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

I am trying to think who would be strong. Guess 2B or something? I mean do we have any character in this contest that is after 2010 and has some power?
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Why people keep fighthing for stupid reasons?
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

@ZeldaTPLink Yeah! Link with tits! I support this!
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

@charmander6000 I actually like this idea. Characters that have debuted from 2010 to 2019!
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

So some personal thoughts. These are must my opinions.

Round 1

Top 3 characters

Amaterasu(crushed the previous champion)
Master Hand(The joke almost nobody expected)
Aya Brea(a win after 16 years!)

Bottom 3 characters

Cecil(5 loses in a row! And he is the main character from the 2nd most popular old FF game too!)
Ren Amamiya(come on, a 2 seed and he had The Joker nickname and still lost)
Draven(I know that we didn't had any rallies but he is so weak!)

Round 2

Top 3 characters

Donkey Kong(like 3 people thought that he would go to Round 3 before the contest)
Red(beating Sora we all thought would be strong because of KH 3 boost. And he is not even a Pokemon!)
KOS-MOS(Most had her losing to Round 1 and she reached Round 3 for first time too!)

Bottom 3 characters

Yuna(almost everyone before the contest expected to defeat Alucard)
Ike(he is in Smash and he can't even beat Phoenix!)
Shepard(we all thought he would be weaker but this much?)

Round 3

Top 3 characters

Zelda(dominating Squall so easily!)
Geralt(for like the 3rd time in a row he was losing at the start but he came back and he won!)
Tifa(porn rallies! Yeah they might not even existed but I like to pretend that they existed!)

Bottom 3 characters

Dante(come on man, can you stop choking at the tough matches?)
Squall(seriously dude, you were the heavy favorite before the contest)
Tails(yeah he was weak but losing in Round 3 with like 70%?)

Round 4

Top 3 characters

Alucard(star of the contest so far no doubt)
Vivi(yeah he lost but more than 48% on Ganon!)
Geralt(he lost but nobody expected before the contest to do so good!)

Bottom 3 characters

Kirby(like 95% had Kirby winning this round and he lost)
Ryu(can't even break 40% on a weaker Sephiroth)
Luigi(this is controversial but I always thought he would win the division and especially after doing so good in the previous round)
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

I have some opinions for future contests.

1)Best character that has appeared in Smash franchise.
2)Best video game company.
3)Worst video game(only games that are eligible are the ones that have under 50 score in Metacritic)

Which you would prefere?
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Up since no more analysis until well the matches.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Americans.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

So thoughts for Round 4.

Pretty good actually. Obviously the star here is Alucard. But FF7 did really well. We had 3 characters reaching to this round and 2 of them winning actually! Also Zelda has the highest percentage. I would say that Geralt also impressed even though he lost.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

SFF is going on here.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Why they keep refering to FF 4 as FF 2 and FF 6 as FF 3? Seriously? Yeah it is on Snes. I get it. But you would think everyone would know the mistake by now!
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

So can someone tell me to end this thing what is the 2nd chance bracket? I fill it. And then what? It runs parallel with the normal bracket? Or at the end of it? Don't get it. Should I fill it? Thanks.

Division 7 Final

Luigi VS Tifa
Tifa(51.36%) defeated Luigi(48.64%)

I think before the contest the winner of MMX/Tifa match was considered the favorite. But Luigi could do it too. Meaning these 3 characters had equal support from what I believe. As you all know in the MMX/Tifa match there were rallies and Tifa managed to barely advanced. In this match there were no rallies and Tifa beat Luigi more easy that she defeated MMX.

Tifa VS MMX was the best match of the contest anyways. This match was close of course but Tifa was never in danger. Well she was losing for 1 hour and then she went ahead and stayed ahead. Also once again at the 5 minute mark she was tied! Now that is awesome. You know I thought actually that Luigi would win. Yeah I know that Tifa had beaten him before but I thought she would have fallen while Luigi would have risen. And this was true but in smaller percentages that I have expected. So yeah.

Tifa managed to win and that was awesome. She also had much tougher opponents that Luigi had. So she deserved to win the division! Also a strange thing I noticed. Tifa has taken part in 6 contests including this one only! I always thought she was there in all of them! Luigi has missed the very first contest too. Eh whatever.

Division 8 Final

Sephiroth VS Ryu
Sephiroth(60.26%) defeated Ryu(39.74%)

So well before the contest there was a small chance that Ryu would be able to beat Sephiroth since well everyone was saying that Sephiroth has fallen a lot. But as the contest went on this prooved to be false. People were expecting Sephiroth to win with around 57% but he won with more than 60%. Even I as a Seph fan didn't expected it. Because of Amaterasu. Guess she is strong now or something like that?

Also Ryu was beating Sephiroth for like 2 minutes. Funny enough as per tradition for FF 7 characters, meaning they keep rising as the match goes on, in the 5 minute mark Sephiroth was around 52.7% and he won with more than 60%! Damn! So what I gather from all of these? Sephiroth hasn't dropped and in fact he might have even boosted a bit! Why? Because I don't believe that Ryu has fallen that much and that Amaterasu is weak. Or maybe it is true? Can't be sure.

Anyways he won a good victory. And in fact some people were even saying that Seph>Mario based on this result! Yeah sure. Even I as a huge fan can't see that. Still nice to see FF 7 still do good. So there you go. We had in 1 day 2 FF 7 winners! FF 7 always wins.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

I managed to hang on and this is the best ever result for me. I mean I am in the board for the final rounds.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Man FF7 always wins.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Say whatever you want but someone been rallied for porn is a cool story.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

@Advokaiser If you had read my analysis you would have seen that I said that Vincent was the first to beat a N9er indirectly. Meaning in a multi way poll.

Also is there a cookie cutter bracket for the next matches?

And I FINALLY beat my personal best on the contest leaderboard, meaning I am there for a lot of time and I am still there as the final matches begin. Man feels good!
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

@Vlado So no porn/hentai factor then? This contest has lost all credibility.

Division 5 Final

Zelda VS Aerith
Zelda(62.19%) defeated Aerith(37.81%)

So after the previous match where Zelda dominated Squall there was only 1 question. Would Zelda do better against Aerith? Personally I thought so. I mean Aerith should be weaker than Squall right? But as you can see she actually did a little worse. So does that means that Aerith is stronger than Squall? Possibly? Can't be sure.

Also this is the highest win for the division finals in this contest. Zelda is a beast confirmed! Now if she did more than 65% I would admit that she would beat even some N9ers. But now I don't think so. I can see getting really close to the weaker ones but not beating them. Still amazing win for Zelda. All her wins in the division are above 60% too!

Now that is power! So yeah. I don't know how will she performs against N9ers but we shall see. As for Aerith she did okay. I mean most had her losing in the previous round anyways. I guess FF7 is still good around here. Well she did beat 3 Nintendo characters in a row! But the 4th one was too much for her it seems.

Division 6 Final

Geralt VS Auron
Auron(53.14%) defeated Geralt(46.86%)

Man this saddens me. Geralt in all his matches was losing before fighting and came ahead! Seriously all 3 of them! He is a fighter! But yeah without a rally we all knew he would lose here. Yeah Auron has fallen but he is still strong. I mean look at him. We can only ream to be so badass as him! Still Geralt kept fighting and of course he won some updates too as expected but it wasn't enough.

But I think he did good for you know a newcomer. I mean he reached the final division match and scored around 47% too. So yeah. Man if only we had some kind of a rally. Well you can't have everything. But I believe in the next contest he will be weaker. Except if the Netflix Witcher series is really good and boosts him, like Neflix Castlevania series boosted Alucard.

Also strangely enough Auron did worse here than he did on Sub-Zero. Even though I like Geralt I would never picked him over Sub-Zero before the contest. Did he caught a small bandwagon as some said? I believe that is true. Still nice fight. Also we have finally a FF character that won a division! Still funny
enough that Auron and Vivi are much stronger than the protagonists in their games!

So yeah good match and nice win once again for Auron.

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

As in all contests the further we go in, the more the votes increase.

@LeonhartFour What is this second chance?
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Oh yeah the American holidays. Well the site is American anyways. Okay thanks.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Why we have some days off? What?
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

As a Seph fan I agree. Zelda either wins by like 51% or loses by 49%.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Nice.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

@FinalFantasyVII Nice username!

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

If all porn sites come together t hen yes.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

5. These are what I missed.

Big Boss>Kefka!(This is because I thought that MGS character would be so strong which they weren't)
Kirby>Bowser!(This is because everyone was telling that Kirby would win easy)
Luigi>MMX!(This is because I thought that well FF 7 would have dropped a lot which hasn't actually)
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

1998 of course. 20 years baby!
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Came back from work and checked the results. This is what I have to say.

First of all people stop fighting for stupid reasons. We are all old and wise here!(probablye)

1st match=Tifa is winning without rallies too. Didn't expected that.
2nd match=Didn't expected Sephiroth to beat Ryu with around 60%. So either Sephiroth hasn't dropped much or Ryu has dropped a lot?

I like these results. The only bad thing is that my bracket is ruined but hey.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Going to sleep now. When I come back from work tommorrow I expect Tifa winning via rallies and Sephiroth barely winning.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

So you couldn't eh? Damn. You tried at least.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Man I forgot about the Kirbeh meme! Now I think Kirby should have won!
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

@ZenOfThunder These comments are hilarious!

Also I want Bub and Bob for the contest next time!
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Oh I see. Okay then. Still Squall>Zelda was the safer pick before the contest. And yeah I also picked Kirby over Bowser of course.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

@ShatteredElysium I agree friend. DLC sucks. Expansions are fine. For example in Wither 3 an expansion that costed around 20. But man. It lasted me over 25 hours! So yeah an expansion lasts longer than most games nowadays!

Or I could buy a DLC character for Diablo 3 that costs 15! I wonder which is better value for my money? Seriously. Money is good. I get it. But companies can afford to make little less money in order to focuse on you know giving us fair prices?

Division 3 Final

Red VS Alucard
Alucard(53.91%) defeated Red(46.19%)

By the time we reached this match Alucard was the heavy favorite! Nobody expected that before the contest. You know how many Gurus had Alucard winning the division? 1 person! Which is one of the lowest picks ever for a division winner I believe! Seriously! Alucard star of the contest no doubt. Before this he hadn't done anything important. And look at him now!

Now why all this though? Has he boosted this much? Personally I don't believe so. I believe everyone on this division has fallen a lot except Alucard who has boosted of course a little. As for Red. He did okay actually.

Seems strange though, I mean that means that Big Boss and Sora have fallen a lot! And it makes sense probably. KH 3 boost is fake and it makes sense because after so many years nobody can keep caring. Remember when Sora scored more than 45% on MM? Yeah! And as for Big Boss, MGS characters haven't done so good. We don't like MGS 5 here I guess and Kojima left too. We shall see that Snake
does though. But anyways. Alucard rocked man! Also all his wins were under 60% which is impressive on its own way! So yeah. Hybrids man! They rule!

Division 4 Final

Bowser VS Kirby
Bowser(53.86%) defeated Kirby(46.14%)

So before the contest Kirby was the favorite. And as the contest went on Kirby became the heavy favorite. Also all the Crew picked Kirby to win. There is always a crazy person that picks the other guy in most matches but not here. So of course Bowser won! What? How could that have happened? Why almost everyone had Kirby winning easily?

The answer is...I don't know! Someone made a post based on x-stats for every year and every year Bowser was above Kirby. Every year! Damn! I guess people thought that since Charizard and 2B did okay on Bowser Kirby would beat him. But here is the thing. Kirby has defeated weaker opponents and that made him looking good. So that is probably why Kirby was considered the heavy favorite. So when the match started the Nintendo Hierarchy came into play.

What is this thing? Basically you like Nintendo. So you vote for these characters of course. But the characters from the more popular series beat the ones from the least popular. So when you have a character from the Mario series and a character from the Kirby series you will vote for the one from the Mario series because well that is the one you like better. So yeah. This is what I believe at least.

Also another villain won a division too! If Sephiroth manages to win that would mean that the 3 strongest villains will be winning divisions. Well we shall see. Still awesome win for Bowser. Turtle/Dragon/Dinosaur/Ox(?) hybrids man! Also this match had almost the same percentage as the other match and they both were going at the same time and in both matches hybrids won! Something is going on here I tell you!

But seriously Bowser defied expectations too. That is always good.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Bowser>Kirby. EVERYONE here was sure that Kirby would win. The only later match where I picked the winner and didn't thought anything about this, because it was a sure win.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Still I would like Geralt to do it. Damn rallies!
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

No we are not. The big sites give high ratings. For example I have seen a big site saying that a game is really bad and having nothing going for it and giving it 5 out of 10. What?

5 out of 10 is average! Really bad should be 1 or 2! Why they do that? Or a game is dissapointing and giving it 7.5 out of 10. Huh? What happened?

Also as others have said they give attention to graphics. Why? Graphics is the last thing to focus on an game. Look at PUBG. Using an old engine and nothing impressive yet people like it. And also if it didn't do good the company wouldn't lose much money anyways.

Plus fucking microtransactions, DLC, pre-order bonuses, season passes! Yeah! Seriously any game that have these should be the maximum 8 out of 10 even it is amazing.

But no. So yeah we are not critical. At least the big sites are not. Of course I am older and been playing games for like 30 years but still.

Of course older games had their problems. But at least when you bought it that was it! For example I want to play FF 15 but they keep adding stuff! Why? Adding stuff should be only on multiplayer games!

But anyways this is what I believe.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Man 2B scores like 44% on Kirby right? What is going on?
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

So Geralt didn't caught a rally. Too bad.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

So this is the first contest where we don't get any correct predictions for the matches? This sucks.

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

This guy either is a HUGE Alucard fan or crazy.

Oh yeah. I think 1 Guru had Alucard actually!
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Charizard scores like 48% on Kirby right? I am fine with that.
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Damn! Didn't noticed that! I didn't scored any points and I am still hanging on! Was Kirby the heavy favorite to win then?
---

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

100% in my country for Geralt and Aerith! Yeah I am the only who voted of course.
