6) Didn't burn this entire board to the ground when we probably deserved it multiple times over the years

Mario by the hour:

20:00 | 52.02%
21:00 | 50.14%
22:00 | 53.97%
23:00 | 49.51%
24:00 | 48.70%
01:00 | 50.10%

Mario squeezes out the hour by 3 votes. Votals were notably high this hour - didn't fall off from last hour as usual.

But what does it MEAN Basil?

(aka updated trends plz)

Finally a contest for me!

You're right, a bunch of predictable matches and then losing 57-43 is WAY more exciting.

It's like you've got the Harry Potter time turner to take more classes except it's not actually slowing time down for you.

Ulti, I would damn well hope you can show your fellow students the ropes if you've been doing various forms of veterinary schooling for a decade. You've probably taken several variants on the theme by this point.

Go chaos.

Link versus Cloud posted...

Samus is a good main for a casual. She is just very satisfying to play with charge shot, projectile spam, and large grab length. Plus she doesn't take much tech skill to win with a lot at mid levels of play.

I played both SSB and SSB4 very casually and main'd Samus in both. Melee I played much more competitively and didn't really touch Samus there. Brawl I didn't play enough to really develop a main.

For amateurs like me, the grab length was one of the worst parts of Samus.

Back when I was like 11 or 12 years old playing videogames at my babysitter's house, I played Smash for the first time, and recognized Pikachu most so he was my first player. After running through single player with Pikachu for a few days, I picked up Samus having never played Metroid before because I though "he" looked super cool.

I hadn't played Ocarina or seen any Zelda 3D to that point (only played multiplayer games because I didn't own an N64) so I didn't recognize Link as the character I had played as for years on the NES, especially because I always chose a custom name as a little kid.

Zelda, botw, and maybe the Nintendo switch subreddit would be the best places to rally zelda on reddit
Also thelostwoods if you're one of those deviants is the zelda specific pornsub I believe

The distinction a lot of people, usually idiots, don't make, is there are reasons to be wrong other than being an idiot. There are plenty of matches that were thought to be debatable that didn't end up close, or matches that weren't thought to be close that did end up close, but they had reasons to go for what didn't happen. Like if you called Squall vs Zelda as a narrow win for Squall that doesn't make you an idiot that just means things have changed this year. Same is true of Mega Man vs Pikachu here.

As an idiot, I am offended by your implication that I should be grouped with people who can't make that distinction.

Yep. I've had some hard times recently though, net even across past few bets.

Ctes, are you an adult now? In my mind you are locked into being 12 and that's not fair but that's just how life is going to be forever.

I'm 22. It's a bit crazy to think about how different my life is than when I began coming here. Like thinking about where I was irl when the 2008 contest was going is really weird, since the contest doesn't feel like 10 years ago at all.

Sheesh.

Of course, I was only a bit older when I was here in 2002, a young kid sneaking to the computer at night to check matches, and eventually becoming a regular poster.

Now I'm an old man who is avoiding actually taking care of patients by sneaking off to check it on my phone.

Time flies.

Well...

Yeah ask Kazbar

I think you need a spinoff alt Seymour Butz and then another alt Seymour Bartz to bring it full circle.

NGamer, I love ya man, but I didn't watch the 2004 Red Sox to see Mark Bellhorn draw leadoff walks, I watched to see Manny Ramirez hit dingers.

Hi

Hello Tony.

I couldn't come up with a hello shorter than hi, and didn't want to seem like I was copying you. Frankly, I'm at a loss here.

Unless you're the Board 8 Rap Battle League, then you stop existing after a few seasons and are never heard from again T_T

It's a contest, I can't help myself. I'm back for a few months. Hopefully no kids get sick in the first or last hour of any matches, because they're going to have to wait.

How's it going everyone?

All of us OGs must die so the contest can be born anew.

Hey, good enough for Marvel.

Forgot to pick Link to win the final match against the loser-bracket-champion, bracket invalid.

Damn I can't even submit a bracket any more. What an idiot.
