As strong as Zelda is, I still have some faith in Sonic. Sure 2013 had him leeched like hell by Nintendo (a Pokmon boost helped). But Sonic already defeated Ganon in 2010. And he has a win over a fellow N9 member, Crono. Hope it at least translates into a close match.

Samus, well, you bring up 2006 but we already saw it again:

Ganondorf, Bowser, Auron, Tifa, and Sephiroth. Didn't count on Zelda > Squall, and thought hype\new games would boost Sora and Kratos.

I might change them later, but:

Tifa's votes are not stuffed. Tifa's votes are all natural!

Sephiroth's sword takes up nearly the whole screen. Ryu couldn't get in.

In the meantime, I wonder if we use tomorrow, which will have no loser, to ask people to fill in the answers we missed on the previous two contests we finished (blame me, or @AranShiizaa ...), one for Game of the Decade (Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow lost to Kingdom Hearts), and two for CBIX (Professor Layton and Reimu Hakurei lost to Barret Wallace, Marth and Nightmare lost to Phoenix Wright).

8 points in Division 3 (that's what I get for believing KH3 hype would help Sora, or not thinking Alucard would even beat Peach).

2nd worst: 14 in Division 2, thinking the most recent God of War would lead to Kratos > Pikachu. And then him winning the whole division. Oh, how naive.

Better not question how TC missed the tower, he's passed by the cities relatively next to it.

Anyway, after the Cultist's Tower (where another way to bypass the lack of physical attacks, along with Umaro, is Palidor, given that Esper allows you to jump onto enemies), visit Terra again. And like people said, go back to other locations from the World of Balance.

(and sorry if Why Did They Lose, a topic I help run, killed your interest for a game; though even learning stuff about certain games didn't stop me from trying them)

Well, the scripts have been turned into books. I have the first, was a fine read even without the visuals. This one, maybe the novel approach could work instead, as some added content and less jumping around plots might make it better.

Well, it's J.K. Rowling writing, so it's at least a story the author wanted to tell. And the start was good, faultering on the pace but certainly better than one would expect from "adapting" a thin book that's basically a comedic bestiary.

That being said, hard to not blame The Crimes of Grindelwald on J.K. Rowling as well. The script is overstuffed in subplots, most of whom are padding that could be cut without any problem (now I realize how the books were more captiving because it's easy to follow a restricted plot, as it's mostly what Harry experiences; even the original Fantastic Beasts was better at just two plots, even if Creedence's parts were boring compared to Newt's), and then there's the questionable additions, including the spoiled one above. It's pretty, the characters from the previous one are still fun, but it's certainly the least satisfying of these movies.

4Chan and having Ganon draining votes screwed up Mario big time. But then, he got on the wrong end of that when sharing a match with Squall meant Vivi couldn't beat Red.

Tails gave it his best effort, but Luigi did absolutely nothing.
Tails lost because he didn't benefit from the hentai rally spillover enough.

Ammy lost to Sephiroth because he translated Ammy like this:
Ammy = female dog = B**** = women who ruin his plans = Aerith

After beating Aqua, she felt sorry for the KH fanbase and all the hype for KH3. So when Ryu came up, she asked him if she could lose. Ryu answered, "SHOR-YU-KEN!"

Possibly not much interesting.

5) Purchased a game to play only to never actually play it (bundles don't count).
7) Refused to try a product simply because you were fed up with other people insisting it was amazing.
8) Stayed overnight in a hospital (not including when you were born).
14) Enjoyed the Directors Commentary/Behind the scenes more than the actual movie.
17) Lost a fight with an animal. (if getting wore out by my dog counts...)
41) Got into a full-on fight. No hit-and-run type stuff.
44) Changed a personal belief due to a movie/game/book/etc.
49) Went to a sports championship (Superbowl, World Cup, etc)
50) Attended the olympics.
62) Been in a car accident.

Might change some of them later, but:

No mere Squall can stand up to Farore's Wind.

There was a sudden opening in the F-Zero circuit he just couldn't pass up. Something about a 'Falcon' and 'Paying Respects'.

Bayonetta is witch, but Geralt was witcher.

Sub-Zero lost to Auron because you can't score a Fatality on someone who's already dead.

Red won by being a a mute character with no personality at all... which made him the perfect soldier.

2B lost because her fans were happy for her getting so far. Emotions are prohibited.

Phoenix Wright lost because when Kirby murders his victims, he doesn't leave behind evidence.

(this one's good, but can someone make up another Kefka entry?)
Alucard: It doesn't matter why I won, what matters is my Plan.
Kefka: Was winning the match part of your plan?
Alucard: Of course!
Kefka: Well you got yourself a match against Red. What's the next step in your master plan?
Alucard: Winning this division! WITH NO SURVIVORS!

GameFAQs didn't cheat, people simply vote for who they want winning. There is cheating at times, but not often pulled off, because the webmaster finds out vote stuffers. But that's not important, what matters is that the target of your unfounded hatred is having her best contest. And think Board 8 will love KOS-MOS more and more with your behavior.

More popular here. Kingdom Hearts was huge back when there were only three games (third being Chain of Memories). It even boosted Cloud to a contest victory. But all the side games and the story becoming a clusterfuck while people only wanted a KHIII certainly didn't help. Meanwhile, the RPG fans who enjoyed Xenosaga (certainly a sizeable group, all games sold at least 200k copies) still hold a candle to it even if Monolith moved on but not quite, given KOS-MOS still shows up in crossovers and such.
