I want to save huge ones like BotW vs FF7 for the next full Contest. Anything else "just for fun" with the best games should be done after everything's over IMO, to not spoil upcoming results.

So best choice is to use things that have already been eliminated, like trying to find the Last Place Game between the ones likely to finish at the bottom of the X-Stats.

I didn't give much thought to the tiebreaker, either. The Show apparently snuck it in at the VERY end of their bracket discussion after I had already checked out mentally from listening to 6 hours of bracket analysis, so I had no basis for anything.
Need focus and determination to win it all!

Does anyone know who has
1) won the most prizes (dollar value)
2) won a prize the most number of times
3) made the (end of contest) leaderboard the most number of times
across all of the best character/game contests to date?
Not sure on number one, but I'm pretty sure yoblazer is in the lead for two and three. If historical results are your thing, I recommend giving this topic a look:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/78552275

The spreadsheet in there show the most successful pickers ever from this board. The first tab is by total points, but the third tab shows the average through all the years and would be best for seeing who has the most long-term accuracy.

I owe @KamikazePotato so much for each of my past Guru results.

I came to GameFAQs in 2010 not knowing squat not only about games' strength, but also about games in general, and I managed to squeeze myself all the way to the #11 spot of the original Game of the Decade.

By the way, KP, why haven't you entered the Guru in the past contests?
He discussed this on the last Show episode- he cares about too many games and characters to save a spot on his nomination list for someone else's choice.

ME2: beat it on PC a long time ago
RE2: Platinum on PS4
Smash Ultimate: played a lot despite not owning the game (friends)
Mario Odyssey: never played
Persona 4G: 130 hours or so. almost platinum
Xenoblade: never played
Witcher 3: 200+ hours, close to platinum on PS4
God of War: 70 hours or so and platinum.
Persona 5: 200+ hours and platinum.
Portal 2/RDR 2: never played
Dark Souls: Platinum on the PS3. 100+ hours on the remaster.
The last of us: beat the story twice
Skyrim: 150 hours on PC.
Pokemon/Nier: played both a lot. Platinum'd Nier on PS4.

wonder if anyone here has played more of the finalists than me.
Very impressive, not sure if anyone on this board will have put more time into these games. Still though you're missing two of my all time favorites (Odyssey and Portal 2) and one of yoblazer's (Xeno), so lots of good options for the coming week!

* I most certainly like the idea of the final 16 challenge, but I'm unsure about whether or not I'll actually go through with the challenge itself. My computer is my only (relevant) gaming platform as of right now, and I'm not interested in buying a full-price game just to participate in this challenge, which means I have three choices: Dragon Quest XI, (presumably) Portal 2, and Skyrim. I already beat the first two of those quite recently, and as much as I loved them, I'm not interested in revisiting them so soon (and I have no one to play Portal 2's co-op campaign with).
You can play through the co-op online with anyone else who owns the game on steam. You two could coordinate by talking over voice chat in the B8 Discord. I won't have time to do so myself, but hopefully you can find a partner in this topic!

128 games entered, only 20 or so remain, and Gurus are also dropping like flies over the last week!

As always, the latest Guru info can be found on our site:

http://thengamer.com/guru/

We have 142 B8ers competing for the title of board's best this season, a wonderful turnout. Speaking of which, major thanks to TRE for automating the bracket entry process this year, saving us a ton of work! He's also going to assist me with keeping results up to date on the site all season.

Some neat features of the site include being able to click on anyone's name to see their full bracket. You can also use this link to share your bracket in topics, or put it in your sig. Mine for instance is

Here's my suggestion for bonus matches during the 6 day break:

16 game mini-bracket featuring the 16 games that were eliminated during Round 3. The first round of this mini-bracket will be 4 matches per day, round 2 and round 3 is 2 matches per day, and the final is 1 match per day. That fills up the entire 6 day break with bonus matches.
Sounds good to me!

I was #52 while we recorded last night, during the pre-show there was quite the debate over where I'd end up after getting both matches correct. Turns out we underestimated how difficult they were- only 14% called P4 and just 17% got Xenoblade, which gives us a final result of

Hooorah!

We decided our goal was to have The Show doubling up the leaderboard when we hit the break, and we're getting close- yo moved up to #75 with the Xeno result.

After looking it over in the tool (which is wonderful BTW!), I'm actually shocked what a strong position I'm still in. Of course I need Witcher 3 > Dark Souls > Skyrim, but if that works out for me I can absorb both GTA5 > Persona 4 AND my Portal 2 to win the division pick not working out. Alternatively, if Portal does get there, I've got enough of a cushion that I wouldn't need Xeno to get out of its division.

Pretty sweet!
