Final Fantasy has been kinda all over the place. Lightning and Vivi looked good at least, but you can attribute Lightning to Chloe just being terrible and uhhh...maybe people think Vivi is a Pokemon or something,

anyway, it doesn’t take much for knuckles to beat zidane. that should have been the favorite pick after sonic mania.

So far only have gotten Sully wrong. But looks like my matches today are correct! (I have Master Hand vs. Yoshi for this division, okay if that comes true....)
The name's Django-the D is silent!
Yeah, I wish I'd had the confidence to believe in a Sonic Mania boost

but I also needed it not to happen for Squall > Sonic LOL
transcience 10/20/2018 7:11:48 PM#255
man, zero sucks if this holds. would definitely lose to vivi

And people didn't want to believe that Noctis would be weaker than Balthier.

Personally I like to know why Wario is a low seed and why 2B of all characters is a seed 1 character!
I almost went with Master Hand also.
Hello people!
Because Wario sucks
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

Eh, like I said, Octopath Traveler was well received and has sold pretty well! It's gonna be the Tales of Symphonia of the Switch, probably.

I was kinda skeptical of how big of a blowout Zero was capable of here anyway.
Seeds mean nothing

People don't bother to nominate characters they feel are guaranteed to make it

Thanks, Master Hand, for making someone who's seen Way Too Many Contests feel some emotion about a result!
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

Imagine being trolled by a glove in 2005 then again in 2018.

It's pinned on the DDLC subreddit now. It was up before the last update, but not by much.
All the stars in the sky are waiting for you.
Master Hand vs. Wario who ya got

I have master hand in my bracket because I refuse to lose to master hand ever again

Master Hand vs. Zero, but the day before the match Master Hand gets announced as playable in Ultimate

I have Master Hand losing to Wario.
Been playing video games for over 30 years!
it would seem the DDLC reddit is actually filled with Wario fans
transience 10/20/2018 7:38:18 PM#275
and Knuckles fans
xyzzy
ya go my Knuckles

like I said I'll gladly lose a point to be wrong about this match
transience 10/20/2018 8:25:29 PM#277
I knew Knuckles should be the pick and I still picked Zidane in my bracket. there goes my #3 spot

oh well, if this holds I'll be 12/12 in the crew at least
xyzzy
I'm going 2/4 today and that somehow might end up being better than most do
ZeldaTPLink 10/20/2018 8:32:37 PM#279
Same here. I got MH right and everything. If Monika reverses this I could see myself hitting the leaderboard.

This contest is crazy lol.
Big Bob 10/20/2018 8:33:36 PM#280
I have gotten every single debatable match wrong so far. My bracket sucks this year.

So why is final fantasy doing...this? Is it just backlash against square being super awful for so long, Sonic Mania reviving the sonic franchise like a phoenix or something else? What do you guys think?
Shine on, you crazy diamond.
I still think it could be based on eras more than companies

The last universally liked FF game (8? 9?) is older than the first character battle.

Meanwhile nintendo had highs and lows.

I mean there are no "universally liked" FF games but the last really popular one was FFX

the older character has won every match so far

could be a repeat of 2015...!

Yes, that's me. Hi!

Three questions, then:

1: Why are you the one scapegoated instead of just Reddit in general?
2: If you're a longtime user here, how do you not know about FF's waning power in relation to its aging audience?
3: Where is that Ace Attorney LP you did that Solfadore talked about on Board 8 Wiki?
Goosio 10/20/2018 8:51:45 PM#293
I would love to see Pac-Man win, but I'm afraid Sans will win.

The lowest seed character I had win was Wario.

I came so close to giving the Guest yet another point

Robbed in the last second. I tried!
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!
well it looks like I was right and they all decided to be consistent and not vote if they couldn't vote for Just Monika...!

1) Because I (and a few others) got people onboard with rallying draven in the first place. Reddit just gave votes but we organized the effort.

2) Because age doesn't matter when the demographic remains the same. It'd be explainable if it was new blood voting, but it's not so it's just confusing why swuare is looking significantly weaker.

3) I think it's archived? It purged a long, loooong time ago.

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Yup, I'm here to stay I think. People will have to put up with me a while longer still.
