foolmor0n 11/02/11 10:18:00 AM #24:	I haven't even looked at the bracket this year because the contest concept is so bad. I don't really care about the little prize money. Following the contest and guru is more fun anyways, except when the contest sucks ass like it does now. Last year's contest was amazing and very highly supported because it was just good. How can you go from from that to this just by "oversaturation"?

Lightning Strikes 11/02/11 10:25:00 AM #25:	For once, this topic title (that you post every year) is actually accurate. It's not due to oversaturation though (this is the longest since we've had a contest in some time) but rather due to a poor bracket and negative reaction to the format and the contest itself, not to mention that it's a completely untested idea. Before now this option has always been 67-70%, and I think it would stay that way if we got a more traditional games/characters contest. Rivalries just aren't what most people want to see, not to mention difficult to predict. -- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig <cite>Lightning Strikes posted [p:498986] in This is a ...

junk_funk 11/02/11 11:16:00 AM #26:	I've always been a big supporter of taking the top 7 characters that always dominate and throwing them into a "finals" bracket, or like previously done, a "champion's bracket". Say everyone in the noble nine but Sonic and Crono. Then, have a 64 character bracket (containing Sonic and Crono) and whittle it down to one. Let that one go against the champion's bracket contenders in a new bracket of 8. It'd make the main bracket much harder to predict and we would see tons of matches we never thought we would see.

PartOfYourWorld 11/02/11 11:22:00 AM #34:	This is now a 10% jump in the "don't give a damn" category compared to last time. Considering that number was already 68%, that's **ing enormous. You know, it's actually very impressive that a single option can dominate a 5-way poll so badly. This rarely happens and is easily a bigger blowout than we have ever seen in any contest match. I wonder how many polls in GameFAQs history have had singular options this dominant. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2620 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2625 There ya go. The most hyped game in site history (at the time, it easily was) versus stuff that would get obliterated by contest fodder.

You know, it's actually very impressive that a single option can dominate a 5-way poll so badly. This rarely happens and is easily a bigger blowout than we have ever seen in any contest match.

Well, I just don't think it's needed or even a very good idea, honestly. Nobody beyond Link needs to be removed from the main bracket.

I would've said Cloud a few years ago, but even now, he looks to be beatable by Mario, Samus, and Snake. Yes, agreed. But other than that, no one (meaning anyone outside the N9) else has a a chance. Which justifies putting them in a champion's bracket. Cloud would still get his match against characters that could beat him, he just wouldn't get the matches that he would 100% dominate. I think a bracket that has Squall, Ganon, Bowser, Sora, Kirby, or Yoshi as #1 seeds would be awesome. None of those characters would run into unbeatable road blocks and the bracket would be highly exciting and unpredictable. -- http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_liy1n4pVL71qfyz1jo1_500.gif <cite>junk_funk posted [p:499002] in This is a ...

(honestly who cares who they face before these matches, because they are all buzzsaws to anyone outside the N9) But you'd also get a final 16 with thee kind of matchups: Crono Yoshi Sonic Vivi Squall Ryu Alucard Sub Zero Bowser Sora Charizard Mega Man X Dante Luigi Ganondorf Kirby ...Where who the hell knows who will win?

SMOKEDOG42O 11/02/11 12:43:00 PM #50:	There hasn't been a contest that's really interested me in years. Honestly, there's only so much one can do with this sort of thing - there are only so many popular game characters and games, and only so many ways to pit them against each other before you end up with something like the upcoming contest. Character v. character and game v. game were fine, but the results became predictable. Honestly, I don't see this site having another good contest. -- "SMOKEDOG42O taught me how to feel love, but fetus taught me how to make love." - Pablo Escobar <cite>SMOKEDOG42O posted [p:499011] in This is a ...
