| Lopen 12/17/18 11:41:14 AM #123 | Also I'd probably put Mario/Link 1 a bit higher I mean there were definitely reasons to think Link would be stronger on this site. Zelda being a kinda pseudo RPG that appeals to the kind of people seeking FAQs being chief among them. But that match is the first time that had you thinking "yeah this isn't even a debate." Anyone who remembers that result has a huge advantage in contests going forward since intuitively Mario's at least in the discussion to win. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Topic | Alternate idea to removing Link from contests outright. GAUNTLET. |
| Lopen 12/14/18 6:02:06 PM #1 | So I had posted this in the analysis crew topic, but I really think the best idea to "deal with" Link next contest, even moreso than a fictional character 64 match bracket, no Link. The non-Link field has shown to at least be competitive this year, so no real need to segregate them. Link in parallel, is put into a gauntlet where he must defeat all comers So each day, you run two matches. The first is your regularly scheduled bracket match. The second is Link vs ???. ??? is some fodder the first day-- I liked the idea of CATS but it can be whoever. Next day, your regularly scheduled bracket match and side to side with it is Link vs the loser of the previous day. If Link ever loses, he's replaced by the winner who continues to run the gauntlet. Gauntlet Winner vs Bracket Winner is your final. As for scoring I'd do the bracket the same, with the Gauntlet vs Bracket Winner being worth 8 points in standard bonus match form. Make the Link gauntlet basically in the form of picking when Link is defeated rather than picking each match and score it up in some conservative way that makes the Bracket Winner the meat of the prediction. Maybe something like 4 points for picking Link to sweep, or 8 points picking the field, with up to +8 more depending on how close you are to the match number he's eliminated at. Anyone else digging this idea? I think it'd be really fun. You get to remove Link from the main bracket festivities to make it harder to predict, but we still get a bajillion Link matches, which is what GameFAQs really wants. (Also PERFECT X-STATS.) --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 12/14/18 5:47:43 PM #421 | Man I'm thumbing through these a bit and past the nostalgia rush I can't believe I was an official crew member from 2006 to 2013. I thought my tenure was much shorter. Appears I did the unofficial gimmick in 2015 too though I didn't get through them all unlike this year. I mean, in spirit it kinda wasn't that long because I really felt I lost a lot of enthusiasm sometime between 2010 and 2013 and my write-ups weren't as wacky and fun. But I did enjoy the callback this year. Fun contest, though the loser's bracket was a slog and the further Nintendo Skew was disappointing. With proper motivation to actually do proper write-ups this whole year I think I could've had fun with it. I mean I did have fun with it but the write-ups were, as said time and time again (and for good reason) half-assed. Did try to put a bit more effort for guest slots I actually signed up for though.

| Lopen 12/14/18 3:35:08 PM #337 | Eddv posted... Or if you give away like Nakamura vs Hardy in May why would you expect people to get up for it in September? It's still too much for these writers even with the ability to give matches away because they give matches away repeatedly. The same match. Like you don't have to make Hardy vs Nakamura not happen till the PPV but you don't wanna run it into the ground either. Honestly think the idea that there are TOO MANY writers has some merit. There is a lot of content but writing it isn't too hard for a few people if you were working on it like a full time job. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 12/14/18 11:56:44 AM #413 | To be fair to the guests the format with 4 matches per day made it kinda hard to see matches coming if you didn't do your write-up immediately.

Shame we didn't get Gordon Freeman vs Tina part 2 when Gordon actually had some strength on this site. That could've done it. Actually if you want a sneaky pick for biggest swing I really think a Wario vs Shadow the Hedgehog rematch would be a strong contender. Wario putting up 60% is plausible I think. --- No problem!

When I actually want to tackle that challenge he'll be the first I make a serious attempt to try it with. Was too rusty and using joycons when I did it the first time so I died once and only got like 9.3 or something.

I'm thinking Mario rSFFing Samus is a lot more likely than Tifa to Seph based on the other results seen As mentioned Samus vs Snake is really weird no matter how you slice it because Zelda > Mario and Zelda got like 50.5% against Snake meanwhile Samus with 55.5% on Snake can't beat Mario. --- No problem!

If there was a troll contest with a Link match every single day against 128 entrants and if he lost once he would be eliminated, he probably would still win, even if people would have to vote for Link every day for 4 months. I agree The idea isn't to actually defeat Link since it probably wouldn't happen even with 64 straight wins needed.

| Topic | Character Battle X Contest Analysis Crew - Part 10 |
| Lopen 12/13/18 3:32:38 PM #383 | You wanna know what to do with Link? Have a normal 64 entrant bracket, no Link. Every day you run two matches. The first day you run Link vs CATS and the match for the day. Each day afterwards, you have Link fight the guy who got eliminated the previous day alongside the normal match. If anyone can beat Link, they take his place and continue to run the gauntlet. Grand final is the winner of the Link gauntlet vs the winner of the bracket. I think it'd be awesome. --- No problem!
