You have Big Boss looking like an absolute trash pile, this weird Sora/Red matchup, Alucard making a case for winning this division, and Kefka with a reasonable and expected result. --- BKSheikah, my hat is off to you.

I know we like to joke about Smash fanboys, but it really is one of the few remaining video game series that are just unadulterated fun. Watching that trailer just made me feel a childlike joy that not too many other franchises can do anymore. The gaming related things in the last few years that have gotten me excited kinda show my age and level of crotchety-ness, but whatever: - Starcraft and War3 remasters - Shovel Knight - Mega Man 11 - Smash Ultimate - The LttP Randomizer and the subsequent LttP/Super Metroid combo randomizer --- BKSheikah, my hat is off to you.

I have Zero in my bracket, but it's looking pretty good for Pikachu. I think it will still be closer than a lot of people are saying though. The result of that match depends entirely on how overrated you think Pikachu was in 2013. 2013 stats have Pikachu winning with 54%, but that also looks like the peak we've seen Pokemon on this site. Then again, 2013 stats also have Zero getting just shy of 70% on Kratos (Pikachu projected to 72%), and they were really close to eachother in the bracket (I don't know how the stats adjusted for Mega Man/Zero though). --- BKSheikah, my hat is off to you.

BlAcK TuRtLe 11/05/18 10:09:12 AM #84 | Ehh, Blizzard still has the ability to put out great games (see Starcraft 2, Warcraft 3, Overwatch), but the influence of Activision is definitely being felt with that Diablo mobile game announcement. The funny part is the classic game team is the one part of Blizzard that is still delivering high quality. Starcraft Remastered was amazing, and War3 Reforged also looks great. I know some people were bitching about some of the recent War3 balance changes, but that's typical for the 'competitive' scene in any online game. Watching the classic game team lead on stage for the War3 announcement, you could tell he felt passionate about what he was doing, which is what is missing from the rest of the company these days. --- BKSheikah, my hat is off to you.

BlAcK TuRtLe 11/04/18 4:04:07 PM #334 | Zero vs Knuckles BT's Analysis Both Zero and Knuckles are coming off of respectable round 1 performances. Zero laid a beating on Primrose, while Knuckles pulled through a Guru upset against Zidane. A lot of people seem to be writing that result off as a sign of Zidane weakening, but Vivi's result couple with other Sonic overperformances in round 1 lead me to think it's more of a general Sonic Mania boost than anything. I don't think the result of this match is in question, but where Knuckles ends up certainly is pretty wide open. 2013 stats have Zero getting a doubling, while 2010 stats have it 56-44. With everything else we've seen, and given 2013 being pretty unreliable given the fact he was stuck behind Mega Man again, I would think we will see something closer to the 2010 stats. I expect another Knuckles overperformance that will make Zero look bad going into the round 3 matchup against the Yoshi/Pikachu winner, but we'll see how things go. BT's Prediction: Zero with 57.45% BT's Bracket: Zero BT's Vote: WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!! EDIT: Whoops, the Yoshi/Pikachu match will be Round 4, not 3 --- BKSheikah, my hat is off to you.

I'm really really curious what this does for Cloud's strength.

FF7 has looked like absolute ass, and every ancillary Smash character has vastly impressed. Ryu was already a really strong character, could Smash have boosted him at all?

BlAcK TuRtLe 10/28/18 3:57:55 PM #115 | Round 1 Ryu Hayabusa vs. Simon Belmont BT's Analysis An interesting match on paper, which depends entirely on where you think Simon Belmont sits after the announcement that he is being added to the next Smash game. Looking at states from the last 2 contests, Ryu is comfortably ahead of Simon, with 55% based on 2010, and 62% based on 2013. The few people that took Simon here claim 'Smash hype' as the reason, but I really have to question how much of an effect it will have. The game hasn't been released yet, and people care way less about Smash 5 than they did about Brawl. This should be another boring result, but there's a very real possibility that the winner of this match gets to the 4th round.
