Board 8 > SaveEstelle/LeonhartFour in Different Houses: Game of the Decade Edition [SELF]

(+) Yeah! (+)

Well, it's good for people who want it, but as a dubs guy, I don't need to go out of my way to patch in Japanese voices!

Fate/Grand Order: Continuing through Camelot. Up to Lancelot Round 2. Kinda mad because I absolutely have this fight but I got wrecked by awful luck twice in a row. Out of AP right now though so I will finish this tomorrow. Just annoyed that if I had made the one slight change on my second attempt (which was my first real attempt since I now knew what was coming) that I did for my third one or if he just didn't start burst critting at the most inconvenient time in either of those fights I'd have won. =(

and all this while i'm carrying around bedivere. i could trivialize this with friend support but the streak must live. and also because i totally have this argh.

Out of interest, do you feel like FGO is a game its fans would actually vote for in a contest match? My only real experience with gacha games is Fire Emblem Heroes and I feel like that fanbase would actually anti-vote FEH. >_>

i made a pact in my heart back during all the rolling that if the gacha god gave me void shiki i would vote for it so my fate is sealed

I dunno, probably? I would. You guys get the complaining posts out of me but I am usually enjoying myself. I have it beating Journey at least. Skyrim should wreck it though so I think it's only a one point decision either way. But I'm still relatively new to it so maybe I haven't become jaded enough yet?

---

Not that it matters, but it's been in the GameFAQs top 100 for 880 days! Plus it's the only mobile game that actually got into the contest. I dunno if it'd be particularly popular, but the player base seems to actually like it a lot more than the FEH player base does at least. I haven't heard people talk positively about FEH for a long time...

I still have it losing to Journey, but it winning wouldn't totally shock me.
---

I just think this site is still mostly anti-mobile gaming, especially gacha stuff, so I think it'll lose to Journey, but I imagine whoever wins that match will be the weakest game in the contest to win a match.

---

I'm not really expecting much from FGO but someone has to win the match. I also know like nothing about Journey which makes it had to really tell how strong it will be.
---

Journey is the original walking simulator, right? I think it's at least a name people have heard of for its novelty, even if they didn't play it.

---

I feel like my top 8 has now become too cookie cutter now and I hate it. Botw>Ssbu, Skyrim>witcher, botw>skyrim.

I'd love a P5 run to the finals, but can't pull the trigger.

---

Yeah, I don't like it either. I'm sure we'll be wrong a lot but I don't know where else to pull the trigger on a big upset.

---

I have witcher 3 there instead of skyrim but otherwise yeah

---

Maybe i'll go with Skyrim > Persona 5 > Witcher 3. The reason being Witcher 3 straight up lost to Bloodborne, Fallout 4 and Undertale on the console/PC polls. Don't think Persona 5 would have lost in all 3 polls. Plus Joker in Smash, Scramble on Switch, and people playing Royal.

---

GotY polls are weird. People seem to take into account what system they played the game on.

---

Yeah I mean, one needs to look no further than today's poll to show that non-contest polls aren't a great indicator of things.

---

I'm honestly kinda glad the start of the contest got pushed back a week because it would've been tough to squeeze in Crew writeups this week!

---

My "that's a crazy stat" stat of the week is that UCONN's NCAAW's basketball team is leaving the AAC after 7 years to go back to the Big East. During their time as part of the AAC they went 139-0 in conference play.

On one hand it's not that surprising given how dominant they've been... on the other hand literally undefeated in conference play lol.

---

Well, there are also no good teams in the AAC other than them.

---

yeah but still!

Also, the NCAA Tournament is going to be played without fans. ...That's going to be really surreal to watch.

Major props to the NCAA for doing that

Yeah, it'll be weird but it'll also be kinda cool because you'll literally be able to hear everything.

---

NBA just suspended the season. Goddamn. Forgot playing with no fans I'm not sure the NCAA tournament will even happen at this rate.

---

Well, I think they suspended it because Gobert tested positive, which means the rest of the team has a good chance of coming down with it, too, and you can't just shut down the Jazz. If a team in the tournament comes down with it, then that would cause them to rethink it.

---

Yeah, I think the cancellation stemmed from Gobert too but I think this might start a snowball effect with other leagues.

The Astros are secretly thankful

---

Also, Trump is banning travel to Europe for 30 days, and we're planning to go to Europe for our honeymoon! Hopefully this will all blow over in the next 2 months!

---

I wouldnt count on it given the current response

---

Yeah, we're already looking at alternative plans. Doubt we're going to get our money back from this if we can't travel though.

---

I hate to bring this up but with the way things are going you might even need to look into postponing your wedding. At the very least you should prepare for the worst case and find out what would need to be done and the costs involved. It would be nice if things just got better, though.
---

We'll just livestream the wedding and have the preacher perform the ceremony over Skype or something...!

---

I don't know what ESPN plans to do for the next month if sports get shut down!

It's the moment the Le Batard Show was made for...!

---

And now March Madness has been canceled. It's sad that the most wide open season in years won't have a tournament.

---

What's even still operating? The PGA and NASCAR are still running events without fans I think?

XFL hasn't shut down yet...!

---

Actually, this could lead to the rise of eSports because what else is ESPN going to air for the next month?

oh god

---

Get ready for March Madness coverage featuring Overwatch on CBS, Fortnite on TNT, Street Fighter on TBS, and League of Legends on TruTV!

---

...if gus is on the call i'd watch

---

Esports are getting hit as well because, oddly enough, a lot of the big events are in-person events. Overwatch and LoL have already cancelled or postponed large events. Smash tournaments are getting cancelled. I'm not as familiar with Street Fighter but those events are likely getting cancelled as well.
---

Speed runs to dominate
---

Time for Zelda to become the most popular sport too

---

time for everyone to get into randomizers

---

looks like espn will have no choice but to cover the only tournament in town

game of the decade 2

i want wall-to-wall coverage: first take, lebatard, inside the lines, around the horn, pti.

oh my god i just imagined a bad beats segment run on gamefaqs contests and i need this in my life now

---

What percentage of bad beats segments in contest history would feature Chrono Trigger in some way?

---

Mario/Crono II would be in the montage for sure. ...So would Mario/Cloud 2002. oh man mario would be a mainstay in the early years.

---

Actually, trying to think of the montage right now...

Mario/Crono II "overtime"
Link/Draven/Shepard site crash
Mario/Cloud Planet GameCube
2015 Chrono Trigger

Other contenders: Zelda/Charizard/DK, Missingo/Tidus/Banjo (In my mind I envision Tidus beating the spread because of the not-removed stuffed votes), Vincent/Crono 2007

---

Vincent/Crono 2008 is the fishier result...! Frog/Axel would be on there. You'd have to have something like Frog/Master Chief on there just for how close the final margin was.

---

Oh, that wasn't exhaustive I was trying to think off the top of my head!

---

And now there's no Masters or Boston Marathon.

we need this contest more than ever

---

Well, there's the NFL Free Agency still! maybe. been hearing talk they may delay that too depending on how the CBA vote goes tomorrow.

i will send you my energy to help you and the titans avoid trying to sign brady and ruin your long-term prospects

---

spare me from Brady

if I believed he was worth an instant Super Bowl I'd be willing to chance it but at this point in his career he's not
