| Topic | my 5 best and worst picks in contest history |
| LeonhartFour 03/20/20 6:06:34 PM #373: | #1 Worst Pick - GROOSE https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5193-character-battle-ix-division-6-round-1-groose-vs-lu-bu-vs This match was basically, "Which character do you feel the LEAST bad about?" There was no reason to expect Yoshimitsu, a fighting game character not from Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, or Smash, or Lu Bu, from Dynasty Warriors of all things, to be any sort of strong. But the alternative was...Groose, a random Skyward Sword character that Board 8 had gotten in as a joke. We already had ample proof that the site didn't really care that much about Skyward Sword, but still, it was Zelda. Surely people would default to Zelda in a situation like this, and so Groose became the big Guru favorite. Well, Groose was leading at the freeze, but not by much. Yoshimitsu took the lead on the next update, and within 30 minutes, Groose was losing to Lu Bu and plummeting. By the time the match was over, he had finished a distant third to two characters nobody thought were any good in terms of contest strength. I'm not sure if we had given the Zelda fanbase too much credit or not enough credit. They would vote for a horse, but Groose was where they drew the line. I put this at #1 for the sheer hilarity of B8 by and large siding with Zelda by default only to see it get trounced by fodder, something we may never see again. I just wish I had supported Yoshimitsu, since he had been an NRT winner in the past. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
