Panthera 10/02/18 8:24:36 PM #405:	I don't pay attention to fancy x stats or z stats or whatever and thus will do terribly in this contest as usual, but my bracket is basically built on the idea that no one on GameFAQs has ever played a game released in the current century and thus looks with confusion upon all "newer" characters.

LusterSoldier 10/02/18 9:32:13 PM #437:	Early thoughts on some of the matches: Noctis/Master Hand - This one reminds me a bit of Kuja/Master Hand in the Villains Contest because we've got a different Final Fantasy character going up against Master Hand. Major difference here is that I don't expect Noctis to be as strong as Kuja, and Master Hand might very well be even stronger today with 2 additional games under his belt since the Villains Contest took place. Neptune/Pokemon Trainer Red - This is definitely the most lopsided 8/9 match in the entire contest. Red has the potential to put up a tripling at the very minimum since the Hyperdimension Neptunia series is pretty niche for an RPG series even by GameFAQs standards. Big Boss/Ridley - Despite Ridley being announced as a playable character in SSBU, I think this match is still out of reach for Ridley. In 2013, Ridley already lost to Zidane and Big Boss is even stronger than Zidane. And if Big Boss gets the Naked Snake picture, there's no chance of an upset here. Kefka/L-Block - Now this is a real trap match for sure because the winner could make it all the way to the division final. Kefka is one of the most difficult contest regulars to predict and he can choke matches out of nowhere. Metal Sonic/The Boss - This is a potentially winnable match for Metal Sonic as The Boss isn't strong enough to put this match out of reach. Waluigi/Aerith Gainsborough - Classic 2 seed curse match right here. Going on raw strength alone, Aerith would probably be the stronger character here. However, FFVII has been in a freefall the last few years, although the game's female characters have been less affected by the freefall than the male characters. Waluigi also has rally potential on his side. Bayonetta/Riku - If this was still 2013, then Riku would have won this match. With both Bayonetta 2 and Smash 4 under her belt (plus SSBU and Bayonetta 3 as upcoming games), I think Bayonetta is even stronger now than she was in 2013. Though Riku also has KH3 hype on his side. Aqua/Quiet - Great bracket placement for Aqua and potentially 2 winnable matches, but has no chance to get past the winner of Ryu/Shepard. The round 2 match is not completely out of reach for Aqua as KOS-MOS is probably around the fodder line in strength (and Ellie would be just barely stronger if she wins the round 1 match). As for Squall, he gets to avoid Cloud and Sephiroth this time around and faces off against Snake. Leon definitely likes this bracket placement for Squall, even if it's an unwinnable match going up against Snake. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ \| ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! <cite>LusterSoldier posted [p:909855317] in Contest St...

However, FFVII has been in a freefall the last few years, although the game's female characters have been less affected by the freefall than the male characters. Waluigi also has rally potential on his side. Bayonetta/Riku - If this was still 2013, then Riku would have won this match. With both Bayonetta 2 and Smash 4 under her belt (plus SSBU and Bayonetta 3 as upcoming games), I think Bayonetta is even stronger now than she was in 2013. Though Riku also has KH3 hype on his side. Aqua/Quiet - Great bracket placement for Aqua and potentially 2 winnable matches, but has no chance to get past the winner of Ryu/Shepard. The round 2 match is not completely out of reach for Aqua as KOS-MOS is probably around the fodder line in strength (and Ellie would be just barely stronger if she wins the round 1 match). As for Squall, he gets to avoid Cloud and Sephiroth this time around and faces off against Snake. Leon definitely likes this bracket placement for Squall, even if it's an unwinnable match going up against Snake.</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

I noticed the text that says "midnight Pacific time" is technically incorrect because matches traditionally started at 12:00 AM Eastern (which is 9:00 PM Pacific). But yeah, trend charts would be tricky. I would probably do trend charts like this: PHV - 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM Eastern (or 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM after DST ends in early November) FNV - 8:00 PM/9:00 PM to 6:00 AM BSV - 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM DSV - 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM ASV - 2:30 PM to 7:00 PM/8:00 PM This change simplifies the trend charts more by eliminating the SNV time period, although the final hour or two would still be subject to late pushes in close matches. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ \| ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! <cite>LusterSoldier posted [p:909857950] in Contest St...
