Board 8 > Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1283

(+) Yeah! (+)

Good to see the updater is online. Was it also updated to account for the new match start time? If not it might fall over in about an hour.

I never did care much for the world ends with you

I was going to give it another shot with the switch port and it sounds like that is a less-than-ideal version of the game

Yeah, it's basically the ideal DS game, so trying to put it on something else is tough.

TWEWY is amazing, but most of its music is really bad. Inoffensive at worst.
---

TWEWY's music is unique. Pretty hit or miss. I really like the good stuff though. Kinda wondering how the heck Neku got in the bracket though.
---

Creative has saved us all!

Spyro cut

only 1 vote but still

I don't know when the trends will even change now
---

I liked TWEWY but I never really got the controls. It would still be okay if I was winning my battles but I remember the final boss walling me for quite a while. Although, I would probably look up what the actual good Pins were if I played again so maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

I could see Spyro making a lot of cuts. I remember Street Fighter used to reign supreme during the West Coast ASV which is close to when these rounds start. This match may get really close by the end. Hard to bet against Chun Li with an 800 vote lead but this could be her strongest time too.
---

Spyro is still winning outright in the UK (although I don't know how many votes they'd even be contributing at this point), so he might make some gains once we hit the dead zone. Chunners has a pretty clear lead in North America though.
---

The UK has always had a close relationship with Sony platforms, so that makes sense.
---

Added the missing updates. Thanks Luster.

With this new starting time, matches only start at 1:00 AM in the UK. They also have their DST switch a week earlier than North America does, so matches will start at 12:00 AM in the UK once that happens.

We should see more votes from Europe at the start of matches with this new starting time.

Thanks for that luster

man Lightning is showing those classic Final Fantasy trends

she might still be able to get to 75% (although she may not finish there)
---

Good job cn! While we're talking about website updates, I noticed the GameFAQs gallery's thumbnails are largely missing for the older contests -- thank you for getting the gallery MUCH more accessible again, just pointing it out if you have the time to fix that next.

Also, I think SSBM and SSB4 are each missing a picture for 2015's contest -- am I doing it wrong, or do you have a way to get them back up?

Looks like all of the updates are on there now.
---

From today's results so far, I'm surprised Chloe's doing so poorly and Spyro is doing this well. Cuphead > Neku, but also Ganon's taking the division and this changes nothing with his match against Dante.
---

two straight 60%+ updates for Chun-Li

please finally put this match away
---

With votals this low, the match was already put away!
---

I mean put this match away by not looking like total crap anymore

almost to 56% now
---

Shit I thought this started tomorrow. Why on earth would a contest start on a Thursday
---

it didn't

it started on a Friday
---

technically it started on friday >-<
---

For what it's worth, I loved TWEWY. I will admit the music was iffy in some areas, but the gameplay was pretty unique. It's still one of my favorite DS games of all time.
---

And Chun-Li's lead breaks 1000.

Spring Breeze Dancin' got dectupled by Zidane

Chloe will be down near the bottom of the X-Stats but she's more like Caim than SBD...!

These R1 match pics are fuckin ass.

No kidding. Like, we don't particularly need to be doing custom pics for every piece of Round 1 fodder, but can we at least get torsos next round?
---

There goes my Quiet pick. Aqua got this in the bag now.
---

wonder if Gamecube can actually beat N64 this time.
---

SBAllen skipped over enough poll numbers for 150 contest matches. No bonus match confirmed. ;_;
---

Oh god, we're getting getting regular polls during the middle of a contest. This is the first regular poll of the contest:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7388-

Would be interesting to see if a currently running contest will help boost vote totals on the regular polls as more people are checking out the homepage for the matches.

hating TWEWY is really an Ulti-special.

I didn't love it but it was wholly inoffensive.

Lol, good old Caim. I am morbidly curious to see who ends up at the bottom of the X-Stats this year. Seems like there's some real contenders...

@creativename

Seems like your updater has stopped working after going past 12:00 AM Eastern. Remember to properly adjust your updater for this new 8:00 PM starting time. Once you've fixed the updater, I'll provide any missing updates.

I guarantee you it's entirely because of how it's stylized and nothing related to the actual gameplay or story

The x-stats themselves will be interesting because the top characters getting eliminated twice will produce some interesting interpretations.

I'm still liking Cayde-6 for the bottom slot, because there's a chance he gets stuck behind some Bowser vs. Ness SFF.

Do you have to vote in all four matches or am I just an idiot? I didn't know if this was some kind of super secret anti-rally measure to make the Just Monika people refuse to vote lol

Apologies if this question has already been asked and answered a dozen times, but I'm at work.

I'm 99% sure it's gonna be the Destiny character.

Well, I guess we could still theoretically have one even if it would be way off from all the other poll numbers. It'd be weird though.

You don't have to. The format encourages you to, but it's not necessary.
---

Cayde-6 will definitely be a "strong" contender. With all due respect to "A Hat in Time" fans, Hat Kid is also a real eyebrow-raiser.
---

I'd be fine if Hat Kid was the weakest character in the contest

blowout of the contest for Squall please

If your game tries to do something different and Ulti thinks it failed, he will rail against it.

Ah it's nice to see some matches again.

Kinda funny we have an entirely uneventful first day though.

It does appear you have to vote for all 4, interestingly enough
