GameFAQs Contests

Pac-Man making up for choking his 2002 eightpack by winning this year's would be hilarious.

=D

but don't worry bro a two minute trailer was enough to get you over

what if we get two crew curses in one day

Well, at least I was right about Riku being bad.

man I'm gonna love this division if Rosalina vs. Pac-Man is an honest to god round 3 match

Every character in the bottom half of the division would have a great chance to win this eight pack except for the Ren/Claire match.

ha, our first bracket buster was Waluigi

Yeah, I kinda debated on whether that one would be a casual destroyer because it's literally Waluigi vs. FFVII, but Aerith has usually had bad prediction percentages for an FFVII character.

Also Riku getting destroyed by Bayonetta makes Charizard look not so great...yet again. That doubling in CBIX suddenly seems unimpressive.

And who knew putting Pac-Man in a game people played would have this effect...!

Oh hey Hayabusa might pull this out after all

I dunno, Riku getting destroyed makes perfect sense to me regardless of Charizard. Riku just sucks.

Hayabusa probably pulls this out once the Smash goofballs go away in about 30 minutes. still an embarrassing showing. Geralt will rise up too.

Hat Kid

Sans vs Cayde-6 whoyagot

Sans would beat the piss out of Cayde-6, just like everyone else in the last few contests outside of Chester and Spring Breeze Dancing would.

I'm reasonably confident almost any character in the bracket would beat Sans. Maybe even Cayde 6. I wouldn't be surprised if 30% of Pac's differential here is raw antivotes.

That being said I hope it's just Pac being strong. I'd love for Pac to do well once

I had no idea the sans hate was this pervasive

Well, Sans was always going to be weaker than Undertale itself. I didn't think he could pass the Pac-Man test, but I didn't think it'd be THIS bad.

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

yeah this is way worse than I think I could have predicted. Pac-Man can only beat true garbage like this unless something has happened. we’ll see I guess

it just hit me that Geralt has a much better chance vs. Hayabusa than Simon

I just realized every match I picked wrong were the ones I didn't pick Nintendo: Donkey kong, Knuckles, Wario, and now Bayonetta, Simon and Pac-Man.

And I just got into the leaderboard. In part because I made a lot of pro-nintendo picks. Master Hand, Ness, Fox, Phoenix, Toad...

Man...

Geralt vs Rosalina was always going to be a toss-up... Don't know if I should be happy Geralt is at the very least winning or disappointed at my bad call.

pac man better win the contest now

honestly at this point I think Pac-Man winning this eightpack is the best possible result

Anyone that picks Simon over Hayabusa needs a lobotomy

quick, who wins Simon or Rosalina

I honestly don't know

uhhhhhhh if you put a gun to my head I guess I'd pick Simon

Simon. I can't see even a fraud Hayabusa losing to Rosalina

that was my take too. round 2's gonna be interesting

Well, the more likely scenario is that Geralt is just bad since he's an unknown. Hayabusa's probably fallen off in the last few years, but he should still be at least halfway decent.

Hayabusa is probably fodder line now and Simon is probably just above it. I like either one to beat Geralt here.

Man, Bayonetta is still climbing.

I know Riku sucks and all, but depending on how high she goes, I'd call it the best performance of the day.

I had Bayo for the majority of the bracket period and then switched to Sans in the last day or two. whoops.

I've got Bayo winning the fourpack and never really thought about changing it. I figured she had the most room to improve out of anyone here since the last contest.

now I'm wishing I'd had the guts to take her to win one more match

Bayo probably wins the 8 pack yeah.

Part of me feels like this can't all be Sans anti-voting and Pac Man is going to come out of nowhere and win it, but that might be wishful thinking.

same

I think I entertained the idea of a Simon upset once I heard he was in Smash, but backed off.

Despite how bad my bracket is so far I could end up getting a perfect 8-pack here. Bayonetta > Simon, let's go!

Dva edges out Aloy in a close match.

Fox does not impress against Jill.

Toad beats Shovel Knight after a short struggle.

Aerith doesn't do too hot against Waluigi

Crew Predictions: 37/40

Next Round Thoughts: Dva fell so much against Aloy that it seems like Fox could beat her by more than he beat Jill, but she's still an unknown so it's hard to say. Aerith is the favorite over Toad, but that showing over Waluigi could imply that she won't crush him.

Round 1 – Auron vs. Lucina

Moltar’s Analysis

Finally, an easy match in this division. We’ve seen Lucina once before in these contests, and it was in a match where she easily lost to Dracula (which I honestly didn’t remember).

Fire Emblem has been getting stronger over time, and the Lucina of 2018 would beat the Lucina of 2013. The problem is that she is facing a contest staple and known strong boi in Auron. Even the strongest FE character Ike wouldn’t be able to topple Auron, so Lucina’s not going to be able to either.

Moltar’s Bracket: Auron

Moltar’s Prediction: Auron – 68%

transience’s Analysis

I'm a little shell-shocked and gun-shy after the last two days of matches. I walk into a gimme like Auron/Lucina, which feels like it should be an easy doubling, but I'm just not sure.

Lucina's kinda junk, right? No one actually likes Lucina, at least on the level of a Ness or Meta-Knight or Marth or something like that, right? Even Rosalina feels like she should be more liked than Lucina. I dunno. I'm always off on Fire Emblem because I think that series is no good.

Auron, though. He should be okay. I'm starting to feel like the site shrinkage is causing people to just be way more familiar with characters than before which is making everything compressed. I look around the board this year and it doesn't even feel like a contest is going on. There aren't any new people at all. It's like senior year at a high school. I feel like we've all been through this together before and the people that are left just know everyone else. The point I'm trying to make is that while I think Auron is good, I wouldn't be surprised if this is some hugely disappointing performance.

transience's prediction: Auron with 60.04%

Leonhart’s Analysis

There are many intriguing matches in this division. This is not one of them. Even if Auron has dropped since last time, he’s not in danger of losing to someone who got blown out by Dracula. I’m not sure what else there really is to say!

Leonhart’s Vote: Auron

Leonhart’s Prediction: Auron with 72.05%

Kleenex’s Analysis

God this bracket is just littered with Smash characters. I suppose that’s what happens when you have a game with like 100 characters in it.

Auron is still very strong, and has plenty of results to back it up. I have no reason to believe he’s going to have any trouble taking care of business in this match, and I don’t think he’s going to get hit as hard by whatever Final Fantasy decline is happening as some of the other, lesser characters we’ve seen.

Kleenex’s Prediction: Auron with 70%

Guest’s Analysis - RoseChevalier

Okay so we've seen pretty much every low/mid tier FF character you can think of fall to pieces so far. It's very clear "Final Fantasy" is not a ticket to any entitlement, and if you don't have your own internal strength you're just going to crumble before Nintendo. Lucky for Auron, he does have that strength and always has.

Lemme just digress for a moment to say it's a little sad in hindsight the strongest Final Fantasy characters in these contests are, without exception, edgelord swordkings. C'mon voters! There's a wealth of characters here!

Anyway, Lucina isn't anywhere close to the top of the Nintendo bunch and she's honestly in a weird spot among Fire Emblem fans. ~True Hardcore Fans~ are tired of the modern games and blame Lucina for ushering in an age of anime wives (because it was so different before Awakening, you see). Casual FE fans' affection for her is split among the rest of the lead cast of her game, meanwhile Ike has become far and away the face of the series. Fire Emblem Heroes makes this very clear. So she's meh in Smash, meh in FE, meh among fans.

This match isn't even in question. Enjoy it! A rare CBX example of a Final Fantasy character crushing someone! I'll be happy if Lucina can avoid the doubling.

(note: Lucina is an awesome character, I love her to death, and I think she's probably the best written Nintendo character ever. I just recognize I'm in the minority)

Auron with 63.21%

Crew Consensus: Lucina more like Losecina

no respect for Tifa huh

Plenty of people like Lucina transience. She's probably the fan favorite from Awakening to what that matters.

Not sure those people come here though. Getting blown out by the guy who got doubled by Sonic isn't a good look, that's for sure.

Lucina is going to be a lot stronger than she was in 2013, problem is she was preeetty weak to start with.
