I just realized that Vincent beat Squall in 2005, Squall beat Auron in 2010, and Auron beat Vincent in 2018. I take it Squall should be able to turn around that loss to Vincent now.

My god, these three must have weakened a ton. Auron got steamrolled by a weakened Snake this contest.

Well, the Guru just determines what you'd like to nominate next contest... There was no actual price this time around.

Guru wins you a pick for next Contest, everyone's signatures, and a guest spot on The Show. He didn't get any money because he's from Mexico and had to enter a Just For Fun bracket.

Though I believe someone was going to buy him a game on steam as a special reward, and he picked To The Moon? If so, that would be an eligible game (came out 2011).

To the Moon is a good choice. Hopefully we can get it in, since I imagine most people have forgotten about it.

Yeah, Guru pick has basically been guaranteed for the last several contests. When was the last time one didn't get in and it wasn't because SBAllen rigged the bracket to keep it out? I think it was the original Guru pick, Toadette, which nobody wanted to nominate because it was dumb.

I'll never forget what you've done to Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Allen. Never.

I mean, you could also view it as "less B8ers = less potential board noms getting in", but Guru picks never missing makes sense since board traffic is somewhat proportional to sitewide traffic.

Was the Green Ranger in a video game during the original Power Rangers craze? I remember the MMPR game on the SNES, but it only had the original five, and then there's MMPR:The Movie, which has the White Ranger.

This isn't exactly a Ren Amamiya situation. Tommy Oliver is definitely a known name, especially if the match picture depicts him in a Green or White Ranger suit.

Well, he would definitely do better if his picture were him in the Power Ranger suit. If it's just a picture of Tommy, he obviously wouldn't do as well.

Bit off-topic, but how do Samus and Mega Man retain their strength when their franchises are seemingly being ignored, while Snake and Sonic collapse from their franchises being over and/or receiving too many bad games?

Posted this in the other topic by accident.

Okay, yes, Zelda was a beast. True. But other Metal Gear characters underwhelmed, and there is no way Snake is on par with Mario in strength. Especially after Snake got royally killed by Samus!

Snake is bigger than Metal Gear, though. He has Smash.

And Snake is totally on par with Mario strength.

I mean direct match evidence suggests otherwise

(never forget that Samus should have beaten Mario)

For some reason, I thought Kyo Kusanagi was KOF's most popular character, but Google just proved me otherwise.

I don't know squat about SNK, so maybe it was because I played Capcom vs. SNK 2 back in the day and he was the one facing off against Ryu in the intro. Also, I remember this poll:

Terry is the main character of Fatal Fury/Garou/etc

King of Fighters Kyo is the main character but you could sorta argue Terry has a loose claim to it based on popularity and the only reason Kyo has it at this point is due to seniority from days when King of Fighters and Fatal Fury were separate franchises. Fatal Fury doesn't get new games anymore and SNK sorta just merged all of its fighting game properties into the KoF banner, and Kyo was the main from times before then.

Course IIRC Ash Crimson was pushed as the main character in some of the later but not most recent KoF games so who knows anymore.
