Lurker > Big Bob

So how much does Pikachu overperform in his next match thanks to the Detective Pikachu trailer?

Jesus Christ Zelda. Was she even in BotW? I ask because I got pissed at the lack of dungeons and the durability mechanic and gave up after 5 hours

If you collect the memories, she's actually really prominent. Probably the most well-developed character in the game.

I've always been kind of baffled by KOS-MOS's continued contest strength. Xenosaga was a modest hit, but it had to be trimmed down from six games to three based on poor sales. I thought she'd be hanging around with the likes of Laharl and Yuri Hyuga and Luke fon Fabre, but yet she still shows up year after year and does decently.

Do the boobs really make that big a difference?

Yeah, I got really tired of all those "new" characters winning. I think guys like Link deserve a shot.

I want to assume that this is like 2004 where Frog and Master Chief are still at equal strength and Tails wins next round.

Hah, I've definitely had that conversation with people who freak out when you ask them about their favorite things. Hell, here are five of my favorite games, thought of in about 30 seconds:

Super Smash Bros Melee
Resident Evil 4
Earthbound
Fire Emblem
Persona 4

If I put way more thought into that list I'd probably be able to narrow it down to something more accurate, but that alone tells you a lot about my tastes.

With Chrom making the new Smash, who would you say would be stronger, him or Ike? Awakening was a bigger deal on this site than Radiant Dawn, but Ike is more established.

It's weird to see Board 8 root against Ike.

Big Bob's quick guest analysis

I think people are overreacting to Sora's performance against Ryo a round ago. He's weak, but he's not turbofodder like Neptune probably is. There's been a lot of Shenmue 3 hype, the first two games recently got rereleased, and remember that the game embarassed GTAV back in the last games contest. Riku didn't do so hot, but he lost to Captain Falcon once, and a Smash-boosted Bayonetta wiping the floor with him doesn't sound unreasonable to me. And then Aqua went and won her match with ease when she's from a side game.

Red's main point in his favor is Smash, but I really don't think Let's Go Pikachu has enough hype to help him out. Compare that to Kingdom Hearts III, and I'd say Sora comfortable wins this.

Prediction: Sora with 54%

Wouldn't K. Rool's floor be about the strength of Master Hand/Sandbag/Mr. G&W? Those characters are pure Smash and nothing else.

This is a reminder that weaker-than-Vercetti Kefka broke 70% on Wesker.

Wesker didn't have Resident Evil 5 or Marvel vs. Capcom 3 to boost him back then.

I voted Ocelot out of apathy since I had him in my bracket, but if I knew there was an upset I would have gone Dedede. If he wins, its the most surprising result do far

I missed the "which Board 8er would win in a fight" series. Though I do yoga, and I outran some muggers a few weeks ago, so I know I'm not bottom tier.

I picked Kefka to beat L-Block and then lose to Kiryu, simply because that's the result this contest that would make the least amount of sense.

My Sora > BB pick seems pretty good now.

I imagine Ryo has gained a bit of strength since his series' minor resurgence, so I'm satisfied with Sora's numbers here, and Neptune's weak AF so Red's a hard read on her. For once, I feel like I called a day properly.

Kingdom Hearts make awesome speed run games. Turns out skipping all the cutscenes makes them way better.

Keep in mind Ryo won a match way back in 2002 and the board had no idea he sucked.

To Sully's benefit, he is very prominent in the Uncharted games. Hell, I bet he'd be stronger than Elena or Chloe, and they have TJF in their favor.
