Update please

Someone other than tennisboy provided us with an update in this post:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/76722792/903463057

That wasn't too long ago. I wouldn't expect another update from tennisboy before we reach the next page.

That explains gen 1 weakening lol

I guess it makes sense because higher participation means more possible users who have a clear bias towards saving Gen 1s over the later generations.

Sonic the Hedgehog - Shadow the Hedgehog, Eggman

I'd also put Knuckles down on that list too, even though that requires him to be added as a unique character (where as Shadow the Hedgehog can be easily added as an echo character). Knuckles is probably a more well-liked character within the Sonic fanbase compared to Shadow or Eggman, so Knuckles should be given some consideration here.

Oh yeah, I actually tracked the number of unique users (ignoring alts from users who voted on 2 or more accounts) who voted in each round starting with the Top 10. I thought we might see an increase in participation during the Top 10, but any increase in participation was extremely small. The participation levels during the Top 10 were still slightly higher compared to the early rounds (30-35 users).

Participation during the Top 10 rounds:

10 - 38
9 - 41
8 - 40
7 - 43
6 - 47
5 - 39
4 - 36
3 - 35
2 - 54

With the exception of the final, we were still occasionally failing to break 40 users per round. Participation was reduced as we got closer to the final, probably because the rounds were much shorter (the Top 3 round didn't make it to a third hour) and there was less time for users to show up to the round.

The previous Save My Pokemon was regularly getting 40 users per round for pretty much the entire contest, while the Top 100 rounds in the previous contest were regularly getting over 50 users per round. So it was very disappointing that this contest didn't generate the same level of participation compared to the previous one. Although the previous Save My Pokemon contest was currently in progress during the 2015 Games Contest and we know that Undertale's contest winning run increased traffic to Board 8 significantly, and this probably affected the ongoing Save My Pokemon contest at the time.

I watched it, but I must have missed the "echo character" part. Someone explain this for me.

.... Really? You don't see how an echo character gets in before an entirely brand new moveset for a third party series?

What the fuck is an echo character?

Others I'd like to see:
Waddle Dee
King Boo
2nd Sonic rep (Shadow or Eggman most likely)
2nd PunchOut rep (King Hippo?)
Another Pokemon (I'd really love to see Snorlax in there)

I really don't see Shadow or Eggman getting in before Knuckles does.

New topic since the previous topic has reached 500. Treehouse Live has also come to an end, but I wanted to post a new topic for anyone who wants to continue discussing what was shown during the Nintendo Direct and Treehouse Live.

Full Treehouse Live coverage:

Day 1 -
Day 2 -
Day 3 -

The Day 1 video also includes the Nintendo Direct.

In past years, Treehouse Live does not last as long on Day 3 compared to Day 2 or Day 1.

I just checked up on today's poll right now and Nintendo is getting dangerously close to losing the lead to Sony in this poll:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7111-

We know that people aren't voting solely on what their favorite company is, based on the results of this generic E3 poll from a few days earlier:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7105-

That poll shows that voters are at least partially factoring in the quality of the press conference (and the games announced). Although if there's even anything close to a tie for the top spot for any potential voters, they're going for their favorite company as the tiebreaker.

People who come to this site grew up with Nintendo and Sony.

This may be true, but it hasn't prevented Microsoft from being the top dog on the site for a brief period of time in 2009/2010 after Nintendo had fallen back to earth when the site finally turned against the Wii, and this was also before the PS3 managed to fully undo its disastrous launch.

There's no reason why Microsoft wouldn't be able to become the site's number 2 or number 1 console manufacturer again if Microsoft plays their cards correctly, and the other 2 companies suffer from some kind of disaster that causes them to lose respect on this site.

Looks like Microsoft is beyond repair for this generation based on this poll:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7111-

Microsoft had the best press conference in terms of showing off games, but the site still doesn't agree. I suspect some people hate Microsoft so much that they refuse to ever vote for Microsoft in any poll (unless it's necessary due to the poll question). It might require Microsoft to move onto their next generation console before the site actually gets back on board with Microsoft again.

Theyve been making it pretty clear theyre all about Smash right now and I simply just dont care about Smash much

You're definitely in the extreme minority that likes some of Nintendo's game series, but Smash is not one of them.

I'm going to make a prediction and say that Aqua will get the biggest strength boost in a Character Battle out of the KH characters that are known to appear in KH3. Yes, I know that Aqua has not yet appeared in a single Character Battle yet, but this prediction is based on what her strength might have been prior to KH3.

Aqua would have been pretty bad fodder prior Birth by Sleep being playable on a console. Following the release of 1.5 ReMIX, she would probably still be fodder but not nearly as badly as the pre-1.5 ReMIX era. Getting an appearance in a proper console KH (not a port of a handheld game) would do wonders for her strength, especially if she has a major role in the story of KH3 with what appeared to be an evil Aqua in the trailer. Thinking she could end up above the fodder line after KH3 and be third in strength behind Sora and Riku.

I remember BK_Sheikah00 apparently saying that he was considering Aqua as his Guru pick for the next contest (if it's a Character Battle) and that could be a really good choice given what is known about KH3 up to this point. Of course, KH3 is an early 2019 release, meaning the next Character Battle could happen before KH3 is out.
