I think mine goes like this 1- One Piece 2- Fullmetal Alchemist 3- TTGL 4- Steins;Gate 5- 20th Century Boys 6- Assassination Classroom Then I dont remember. Probably some point combination of death note, code geass, Hero Academia and a few others. I think HxH is massively overrated. --- The largest bracket ever was not a problem for Advokaiser.

| ZeldaTPLink 12/17/18 11:12:46 AM #47 | I was around for 2006-2008 but I was so casual in them I really don't know how to compare. I guess 2007 was really cool. I dropped 2008 in the middle iirc. I'm not sure if I made a bracket for 2010 but I think remember the Crono vs Missingno match? So I did come here at some point. It was the first year of college though so it would be easier for a contest to leave my mind. I came at the end of GotD and managed to see the "what is a decade" controversy, but I didn't make a bracket for that either. And I missed the other side contests. 2013 was when I actually started caring a lot about it and have been caring since then. --- The largest bracket ever was not a problem for Advokaiser.

But that theory is not that strong since by the time of the contest the megas were just starting to get introduced. Mega Mewtwo Y was announced just two weeks before the Vincent match, and X was only announced after the contest ended I think. --- The largest bracket ever was not a problem for Advokaiser.

| ZeldaTPLink 12/16/18 3:34:26 PM #35 | Yeah I think FF7 is solid in retrospect, but before Cloud's matches against Zelda and Mario nobody knew exactly how solid. I think most people didn't think Cloud had a shot at #2 pre-contest and this proved us wrong.

| ZeldaTPLink 12/15/18 6:53:27 AM #23 | Well I don't know if this could be done but I wouldn't mind waiting till a post-2020 contest to nominate a guru pick, then nominate two at once. Like we did in this contest. I gotra say, it would be the most gameFAQs thing ever for we to skip a Guru pick because the champion didn't play games in this decade, lol. But I sympathize with you. The last console where I really played most of the library was the Gamecube. My sister bought a Wii but it came around a time where I wasn't doing much console gaming anymore so I barely touched it. I have a 3DS too but haven't played that many games either. I wouldn't be as lost as you if I had to pick a nom, but wouldn't have that many options either. --- The largest bracket ever was not a problem for Advokaiser. Congratulations! |

It would be like wondering why Disney does so well in a movies contest. Well there is a certain divide between the "mainstream" gaming and the "hardcore" gaming. A lot of people who play games like Nintendo and Pokemon, but if you are a true gamer, you are supposed to enjoy AAA shooters in your Xbox, not play games for the filthy casuals.

Let us be real here. That's like, your opinion, man. And even if they are, the fact is that most people here do not have time to play all those new games. We do play a few of them, but not all. It's also a fact that people will always love the things they grew up with more than the ones they met as adults. You are fighting a trend that is not worth fighting. That's like going to a place where a bunch of old people are playing cards and screaming "WHY ARE YOU PLAYING CARDS WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY BETTER DO THINGS TO DO NOWADAYS!". They have a right to enjoy cards. Getting mad because people like things that appeal to their generation is selfish. --- The largest bracket ever was not a problem for Advokaiser. Congratulations! |

| ZeldaTPLink 12/14/18 12:11:34 PM #448 | So how do you even obtain a "neutral" setup? Host a game in a site where most of the population are teenagers? Oh, but now you have rigged the contest in favor of characters who appeal to modern teenagers. Why is it wrong that people on a 20 year old site like 20 year old games? Ive never undertood why that pisses people off. Why is it wrong that 30 year olds hang out here to enjoy their favorite characters? Are you not allowed to do that? Should we shut down GFaqs and force those 30 year olds to go into places where people don't like old games, or what? --- The largest bracket ever was not a problem for Advokaiser. Congratulations! |

Would you like a Character Battle with characters who appear in videogames yet were not originated in those? I. e. Batman, Spider-Man, Goku, Yoda... That said, they would still need to have appeared in a game, since this Gamefaqs.

| ZeldaTPLink 12/14/18 10:42:41 AM #427 | I mean imo the appeal of CBX is that we had no decent stats on characters so we were able to get some unpredictable matches. And with no large scale rallies which is great. Now 2018 stats are gonna be the new 2010 stats. They will be reliable for a while. Another CB in say, 2021, can't really be as interesting as this one. So fictional characters add a chance to see something new. --- The largest bracket ever was not a problem for Advokaiser. Congratulations! |

I guess it feels weird if our little videogame contest gets hijacked by a bunch of mass media characters we are used to seeing everywhere. It's like a tribe thing I guess.

| ZeldaTPLink 12/13/18 7:39:09 PM #10 | So one thing I thought of adding but ended up thinking it would be a little too much of a digress. When I was trying to predict Mario vs Zelda, I tried to use xstats to do it. Since old Zelda stats are garbage, I needed to find something to compare. My plan was to compare them through Ocelot and The Boss, since I figured out whatever MGS deboost happened should affect them equally. So I ran Mario vs Zelda using Ocelot/TB 2010 stats. The result: Mario got 70% on Zelda. I had to discard those and start from scratch. But this ties with the point I was making about how we underestimated the guys who lost to Zelda. Turns out that MGS deboost affected Ocelot much more than The Boss? Ocelot has always been stronger than TB here but after this contest they may have reversed the hierarchy between them. Weird. --- The largest bracket ever was not a problem for Advokaiser. Congratulations! |
