(+) Yeah! (+)

FLUDD is highly underrated. It is easily Mario's best companion. The only reason it would lose to Cappy is that these darned kids don't know what FLUDD is.
---

remember FLUDD's fakeout death scene at the end of Sunshine

not ashamed to admit I was holding back waterworks of my own if you catch my drift
---

I also had to pee during that scene.
---

That's what happens when you're playing a game where you're spraying water all the time
---

LMAO you guys...

Leonhart what have you done haha

Cappy is the best Mario companion, but the best Mario series companion is totally Chippy.
---

Hey now, FLUDD and Cappy are both great.

Goombario 4 life

FLUDD is Mario's down special in Smash 4, he would be a Noble Nine breaker without a doubt

Panzer Dragoon Saga playrate poll today:

https://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/6973-
---

of all the games to give a playrate poll to
---

As of right now, Panzer Dragoon Saga is currently setting a record for lowest recorded playrate poll in any poll on this site. The previous record low was 15.08% playrate for Final Fantasy XIV, though that was back in 2013 around 2 months after the rebooted version was released. FFXIV most likely has a higher playrate today than it did in 2013.
---

I'm impressed that it's above 10%
---

The last time we had a Saturn ownership poll, only 21.60% of the site has owned a Saturn at some point in their life. The low ownership of the Saturn is an extreme limiting factor on Panzer Dragoon Saga's playrate since the game was exclusive to the Saturn and never got a re-release or ported to another system.
---

So close.
---

I own a Saturn

Wait the car not the console
---

Panzer Dragoon Saga finished with a playrate of 12.21% in its poll. This is officially the lowest recorded playrate in any poll on this site. The new result has been added to this Wiki page:

http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Have_You_Played

And now we have an FFVII playrate poll today:

https://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/6975-
---

This is probably the best Secret of Mana has ever looked in a poll.
---

12% is a lot more than I expected. Great game on a underrated system.
---

Final Fantasy VII finished with a playrate of 78.32% in yesterday's poll. This is largely similar to the FFVII playrate polls we had last year. FFVII playrate results since the start of 2016:

9/7/2016 - 77.28%
1/29/2017 - 77.76%
1/30/2017 - 76.79%
1/31/2017 - 78.46%
1/31/2018 - 78.32%
---

Shadow of the Colossus laying the smackdown on Metal Gear once again.
---

go my secret of mana
---

what the heck all of sudden

Fallout: New Vegas vs. Red Dead Redemption who wins?
---

Shadow of the Colossus wins another close poll
---

We have a Super Bowl poll coming up tomorrow. I expect that it will be similar to this poll (with 2 options for each team):

https://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/6598-
---

Do people still get oddly pissed off whenever there's a Super Bowl poll?
---

Haven't seen a topic about it, so who knows.
---

It's taking up space that could be used for a "Who's the best Danganronpa character?" poll.
---

would mr. game & watch do any damage or is BRAWL FEAR dead and gone
---

BRAWL FEAR didn't even do much to the weak SSB characters when it was a thing. Mr. Game & Watch would be dead and buried against anyone but the worst fodder.
---

https://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/5194-character-battle-ix-division-6-round-1-lee-vs-meat-boy-vs-mr

so good

That said, while Mr. Game & Watch can take out worthless new characters, he's probably not at all strong himself. If you want to nominate a classic Smash leech, why not go with Roy? He'd almost certainly be at least a little stronger and he's never made a contest.
---

Roy's our boy
---

Bump
---

@LeonhartFour are you going to do a newcomer tournament thing this year

was that even you or am I remembering wrong? it's been so long
---

That was indeed my thing. I haven't done one in several years, but I don't know that there's much point. With the voter pool so low, anyone who can get a half decent B8 rally can get a character in nowadays.
---

I;m more interested in a returners contest anyway, we're pretty much at the bottom of the barrel for new characters.
---

It's not that hard to get those back in either.
---

(nominate Metal Man)
---

Bump
---

Surprised no one brought up the Contra playrate poll.
---

Luster must be working on it.
---

I know about the Contra playrate poll, but I guess I'll hold off on adding the result to the Board 8 Wiki until today's poll has ended (another Xenogears playrate poll).

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6986-
---

SBAllen must really love Xenogears.
---

We gotta have 2 Xenogears playrate polls per year
---

I guess I'll go ahead and make the next one.
---

Is Xenogears related to -saga or -blade?

loosely
