It seems like the exact opposite of what this place would like, yet here it is every year getting high seeds in our contests. Remember Character Battle X when Kazumiya Kiryu got a 2 seed, and it allowed Bomberman to get his first contest win in 16 years? It also, an odd way, allowed him to erase the memory of botching that big lead to Phoenix Wright in the LOL fourways in 2007. Well Board 8 was at it again this year, but this time they boosted Yazuka to a seeding high enough to take advantage in a contest loaded with slugs. A lot of you might remember Braid, which is a very famous indie game that was all the rage last decade. I would know, since I wrote a guide for it on GameFAQs. I loved the hell out of Braid, and I've played it multiple times. It's an incredibly clever game with an incredible soundtrack and a deceptively deep plot. Well the guy who made Braid made a second game that none of you have ever heard of, called The Witness. The Witness, while phenomenal, did not make the splash on this site that Braid did, and Braid wasn't exactly a strong game to begin with. The end result is that the same Yakuza that botched a 2 seed in a character battle managed to come back two years later and score a 77% blowout in a games contest. That is an incredible turnaround, and apparently the key to boosting wins is to keep getting overseeded until you break through. Who knew? --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
