azuarc is OP.

On Saturday I'm going on a small vacation that will last through Tuesday. I plan on allowing 48 hours for each of the next two rounds (more info on Round 7 will be provided soon). As such, I'm at a bit of a crossroads on how I want to proceed going forward. I think I've decided on just putting things on a week hiatus until I get back. It's unfortunate timing and I apologize for it, but this is probably the best course of action over trying to ram things through or have the finals go up and then me leave for four days.

I appreciate everybody who has participated throughout the contest. We are almost to the finish line and I hope to retain everybody's interest until that point.

I was picturing Forever and Ever Amen the entire time leading up to this and I feel silly. I've never really listened to this album, but I'll try and find time to give it a spin.

Here's a dumb question: What is Evangelion? I hear the name all the time, but I know very little about it. I gather that it's some super influential piece of media?

There's only room for one Boss, and it's Count Bleck! Bleh heh heh!

Really though, good matchups. Were those chosen or random, because a lot of them fit well

They were indeed random. Every match in the contest has been randomized in some form or another.

Next up in Round 6, aka the Golden Parcel round. The basic gist is this: Characters are randomly placed into a 1v1 match with another character. Users will vote by initially ranking all ten characters in the round +10 to +1, 10 being most yay and 1 being most nay. After that initial ranked vote, you may give any character in the round a golden parcel (GP) that is worth +5 points. The round goes on for five days. Each day you may hand out one GP to any character of your choosing. You may only rank vote once, however, and you cannot hand out GPs until you have rank voted.

All voting is done in the same topic from start to finish. At the turnover of the day, you may hand out another GP. Voters do not need to wait 24 hours from their own GP. As long as the new day is ticked over, they may cast a GP. At the start of each day, I will provide an updated tally of the matches. You do not need to wait for this tally to be posted before casting another GP.

I will be live drawing the matches now. Come along to the contests tab on the board 8 discord if you want to watch them come to be in real time. Otherwise I will post the five matches in this topic when they have been drawn.

Here's the previous topic for as long as it remains.
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/79491566

I didn't expect the Results and Discussion topic to reach 500 when I made it, so I appreciate everyone for the discussions. If the previous topic purges and anybody wants to see past results from the contest, let me know and I can share them. Maybe someday I'll even figure out how to throw it all on the Board 8 Wiki. I also appreciate your votes. At the start of the contest we were sitting in the 25-28 vote range for Round 1, but in Round 5 we've reached as high as 50 votes, so I'm very pleased with the growth throughout the contest and I hope it continues as we near the end.

While I have your attention with this opening post, I want to mention that I'm still undecided on what Round 7 will be. I had initially gone with a score differential deal, but I have some other ideas floating about in my head that I'm interested in running thought experiments and discussions about. I'll probably take a day or two break after Round 6 (Golden Parcel) and in that time share what I've decided or potentially ask for opinions on preferred format.

Here are the characters still alive, three of them for only a day or two longer:

Remaining (13)
Aerith Gainsborough (Final Fantasy VII)
Bowser (Super Mario Bros.)
Count Bleck (Super Paper Mario)
GLaDOS (Portal)
King Dedede (Kirby)
Kyle Hyde (Hotel Dusk: Room 215)
Miles Edgeworth (Ace Attorney)
Missile (Ghost Trick)
Naked Snake/Big Boss (Metal Gear)
Phoenix Wright (Ace Attorney)
Samus Aran (Metroid)
Solid Snake (Metal Gear)
The Boss (Metal Gear Solid 3)

Here's the current standings of the contest:
(there is potential that Alucard goes to 13th depending on the results of the currently running day)

Standings
14. Alucard (Castlevania)
15. Mario (Super Mario Bros.)
16. Shulk (Xenoblade Chronicles)
17. Cloud Strife (Final Fantasy VII)
18. Mega Man (Mega Man)

My experience with The Killers is basically the singles off their first three albums. The Killers put out a good single.

Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine - First songs on the first album of a band's discography hold a certain significance. The Killers did pretty good with this one. I really love the combination of the synth and funky bass pluck.

Mr. Brightside - It's sort of amazing to me how this became such a defining song of singalong music. I'm not mad about it, though. That opening verse followed by the chorus will set almost any group of people of a certain generation off. Any band would be wise to have this playable in their arsenal. I don't remember Mr. Brightside being an instant classic, moreso one that just kind of simmered and won people over the longer it stayed within pop culture until it reach iconic status.

Smile Like You Mean It - For some reason, and I don't know why, I always get this song and Read My Mind (the superior song imo) mixed up in my mind. I also hated this song for whatever reason the first time I heard it. Something about his droning voice I think. I must not have picked up the slick synth line because that's what makes the song.

Somebody Told Me - First singles from a band's discography are also significant. The Killers also did pretty good with this one as well, though I think has been largely eclipsed by so many other singles over the course of their career. Still a fun song.

All These Things That I've Done - Easily my favorite song on this album. The breakdown in the middle is iconic to me. The soaring guitars are a ton of fun. I really appreciate Brandon Flowers' vocals on this one.

And then we enter the later portion of the album and things get less interesting because The Killers frontloaded the album with all the singles that I've heard over the last 15 years and I don't feel like talking about the rest of the album with nothing to look forward to.
