Board 8 > Character Battle X Contest Analysis Crew - Part 6

(+) Yeah! (+)

hmmmm

I can't even begin to understand the first five minute vote with bracket favourite Bowser and board fave Kirby

I don't understand these contests, man

People opened up the porn vote pandora's box to get tifa over x.

Bowsette time, baby.

gao~
---

I'm not betting on Bowser here. I think Kirby is much better. But if we do get a surprising result, I'll be running straight to some 'rSFF'.

I believe in this by the way. Unless you think that Ness would Smash Ike or something.
---

Red was gaining a bit of percentage during the final 2 minutes of the board vote, so I think Alucard started off strong due to the bracket vote. This means that Red should go up over the next few updates and end up being stronger than Peach.

I would have been very surprised if Red was actually weaker than Peach.
---

Red might go up, but it's certainly not because of the bracket vote. One Guru picked Alucard.
---

My theory is Kirby is being rSFFed by the registered users but will recover when the anons get a bigger piece of the pie

Sticking with this

Goddammit Kirby fight
---

Looks like Red is gonna be weaker than Peach!

Just like everyone else in the division.

Alucard having so few brackets taking him means he's the logical bracket vote for those of us that had Sora, Big Boss, or Kefka winning. If Alucard wins, he does less damage to our standings than Red.

Alright guys, did you get a day of rest after the MMXvsTIfa madness?

Because it's time for ANOTHER NAILBITTER.

Imagine if somehow Peach had faced Big Boss or Sora in round 1.
---

yeah, looks like my writeup is right. this is a baby Mario/Samus

damn you the hierarchy
---

I'm already considering how to adjust this nonsense in the stats (and it's not easy deciding how to).
---

What I don't understand is why Bowser looking at his strongest in 2005 and Kirby looking stronger every year since doesn't seem to matter

Maybe we've just got a more condensed Nintendo vote now cause of crappy votals so the SFF effects are more severe? Like it's not as if Bowser beat Kirby by that much back then
---

it's possible that Charizard does better than Kirby here.
---

Kirby=Fraud confirmed.
---

wow
---

hey Leon, you know what to do

division 4, stat
---

Oh yeah. Crew curse for Kirby! Damn!
---

Maybe Phoenix Wright and Ike are just really weak.

Isaac too, he hasn't had a popular game since 2003 and he's not one of over 70 characters in Smash.
---

Maybe Kirby just SFFed Nintendo characters Isaac and (pretty much) Phoenix Wright.
---

Nah. We have a lot of results putting them around Ness in strength.
---

I'm here saying ALucard vs Red doesnt get a crew curse like the smartass I am and it goes... for the other match.

That makes Charizard looks better at least.

Are these stats from after 2013?

Because oh boy if you're going to start arguing 2007 results that should happen based on 2002 stats.
---

2008, 2010, and 2013. I can pull the all the examples and start explaining them to you.

How do we even get Stats from after 2013
---

time travel
---

You don't.

Assuming a character is going to stay consistent over the course of a DECADE is stupid.
---

You know what is the worst thing about this?

People are gonna keep yelling "Bowsette did it" until after thanksgiving.

I guess we can just pause on this and discuss it after Crono obliterates Bowser
---

I mean you can also make your bracket using random.org but that's not nearly as intreresting.

Yet picking Bowser beating Kirby was largely based on a match from 2005
---

I mean, okay

What about the course of over 5 years, because lots of characters have stayed consistent from there, and the ones that haven't have had very specific reasons for boosting/decreasing

And 2013 alone implies nothing like this result happening

2002 outright states Mario beats Cloud.

Would you take Mario over Cloud in 2007?
---

No because Cloud had 20+ results up until that point saying he would crush Mario, and there were very obvious reasons why - there was a huge site shift in 2003. There's not a single reason for Ike and Phoenix to have dramatically dropped in strength since 2013. Ike and Ness have been very consistently about equal over the years, and Phoenix has slightly boosted in most years, capping off his best results in 2013.
---

Is there a reason why Kirby couldn't SFF Phoenix Wright: Guy best known for his Nintendo system games?
---

man are we really having this argument

For the record this was thrown around in that match, and it was also right after that big Smash trailer
---

one good thing to this result: we can stop discussing how that smash trailer raised kirby to heaven

Never underestimate the "Lopen can never be happy" factor I guess. The contest will find a way, even when the one I'm rooting for is actually Nintendo
---

I am for save_us.rat myself.

first we rally a final fantasy 7 character and now we pour one out for a poor nintendo character

can't wait to see where we go next

Time to summon Smashboards?

Instead we get to continue hearing about the "Bowsette boost." Ugh.

I think Im okay living in a world where 2B is worth like 45% on Kirby

Alucard over Cloud, obviously.

we lament the total weakness of western characters when Auron bodies Geralt

Looks like Kirby might be a lock for Turd of the Round. Fraudin' it up just like Charizard.
