Round 2 – Ori and the Blind Forest vs. Fire Emblem: Three Houses Moltar’s Analysis Ori and the Blind Forest Round 1 – 51.91% vs. Dragon Age: Inquisition Fire Emblem: Three Houses Round 1 – 66.66% vs. South Park: The Stick of Truth Well, this is FE’s last chance to impress someone in this contest. Ori surprised many with it’s win last round, but that was just because Dragon Age was weaker than we thought. Ori shouldn’t be all that strong, but if Three Houses can’t look good against it, then it’s screwed against Xenoblade. I’m going to follow the trend and say FE underperforms yet again. Moltar’s Bracket: Fire Emblem: Three Houses Moltar’s Prediction: Fire Emblem: Three Houses – 62% ____________________________________________________________________________ transience’s Analysis Ori is in round 2! How good is Ori? Has it graduated to 'upper tier indie' status or did it just take advantage of a game that has lost its audience completely? I adore Ori, but I'm a little skeptical that it's up there with Hollow Knight or Cuphead. Will of the Wisps has elevated it to a legitimate franchise but those games had a real bandwagon behind them for various reasons. Ori looks real nice and is a great successor to the metroidvanias of the world, but I'm not sure if it's better than Stick of Truth. It probably is? Dragon Age Inquisition should be better than Stick of Truth, theoretically. It's going to get beat by Three Houses, but by how much? transience's prediction: Fire Emblem: Three Houses with 59.99% ____________________________________________________________________________ Leonhart’s Analysis Ori and the Blind Forest scored perhaps the biggest upset of round 1, taking down a big name and GOTY runner-up (albeit a distant second to Smash 4!) in Dragon Age. While Fire Emblem as a whole has been a little underwhelming so far, Three Houses should still be out of Ori’s league. I don’t know what it needs to get here to look good going into its showdown with Xenoblade because I’m not sure who I’d pick between Ori and Overwatch. If Ori can beat Dragon Age, it could theoretically beat Overwatch, too. I would also enjoy a scenario where South Park is the third strongest game in this eightpack! I figure as long as it doesn’t undershoot Xenoblade by a ton, I won’t worry about it…much. Leonhart’s Vote: Fire Emblem: Three Houses Leonhart’s Prediction: Fire Emblem: Three Houses with 67.87% ____________________________________________________________________________ Kleenex’s Analysis Ori had one of the best upsets of the round against Dragon Age, and it’s possible it might carry some momentum into this match, but Fire Emblem is probably a few steps too many up the rung for Ori to pull off the double upset. I’m not actually all that high on how Fire Emblem did last round given how low my respect is for Stick of Truth, especially seeing Awakening losing handily to Bloodborne (rally aside), but it should still be fine. It’s going to have to recover from last round’s disappointing numbers if it wants to have a shot against Xenoblade, though. (Unless Xenoblade bombs, in which case, disregard. Just like you should be disregarding all my writeups.) Kleenex’s Prediction: Fire Emblem: Three Houses with 60.25% ____________________________________________________________________________ Guest’s Analysis – Hbthebattle Three Houses did not look that good in its win, but that shouldn't matter too much here. Ori probably isn't that much stronger than the Stick of Truth, so this won't be the game that pulls the upset. However, the question remains: can Three Houses impress enough here to stand a chance versus Xenoblade? I kinda doubt it.

Huh, everyone went low but me! |
Rivals
was basically about correctly calling the Trainers getting far and I
think we had multiple winners so it came down a tiebreaker. Not trying to say it wasn't impressive. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to Advokaiser, the winner of the Character Battle X guru contest. (edited 4/14/2020 5:10:44 PM) |
rivals was so bad that I ghosted the crew I even joined for best years, I think add the c and back away iphonesience (edited 4/14/2020 5:13:48 PM) |
anyway, i’m the lowest pick for persona and fire emblem and the highest for xenoblade and gta. woohoo? add the c and back away iphonesience |
The Mana Sword posted... it's almost as if there is minimal skill in actually winning a gamefaqs contestSo says the person that hasn't won a contest "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and hellboy" - trancer1 lol xstats |
I
might have sent my next guest write-up twice, thunderbird crashed and I
wasn't sure if it failed to send or just failed to copy to my sent
folder. Not expecting it to bother you much, Moltar, but my apologies
anyways if it happened. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to Advokaiser, the winner of the Character Battle X guru contest. |
Leonhart4 posted... A lot.Would you mind explaining how these stats work? I don't get how Red Dead could beat RE2 when it won by less. |
Years had the most cookie guru winner in history. Rivals come second place. And it's not just because those contests were smaller, it's actually considering in % of total matches. For some reason those extremely gimmicky contests led to extremely chalky brackets. |
Oh wait, I got the percentages mixed up. RE2 would win with like 63-64% (edited 4/14/2020 5:23:38 PM) |
Can confirm, my brackets are always absolute crap but I managed to end up on the leaderboard for Years. .-#Elements of Water#-. |
I didn't finish on the Years leaderboard, but I did end up there for Rivals! Kampfmaschine Advokaiser punched my lights out in the 2018 Guru. My bracket was soft... just like my heart! |
I was on the leaderboard until 1991/1994. |
I would have won years if 1997 had a proper picture but also who cares about years add the c and back away iphonesience |
I was 1st place for most of the guru until I got 1997 vs 2001 wrong. |
I'm
going to dispute both of these claims above lmao. Until 1997 vs 2001,
scaryice and I were in the lead and had 1997 won, scaryice would have
won the Guru and beat me by tiebreaker. congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru |
Looking at it, ZeldaTP appears to have lost the lead when 1994 beat 1991. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to Advokaiser, the winner of the Character Battle X guru contest. |
squexa posted... I'm going to dispute both of these claims above lmao. Until 1997 vs 2001, scaryice and I were in the lead and had 1997 won, scaryice would have won the Guru and beat me by tiebreaker. Oh you are right. I was topping the guru at some point, but it was the 1991 vs 1994 match that eliminated me. |
The 1997 match stuck in my head for some reason. |
because it was an absolute con job I still remember yoblazer being like WE NEED TO GET THE PICSMITHS ON ALL THESE CLASSIC 1997 GAMES TO MAKE THIS 2001 MATCH EPIC and then SBAllen comes in with "hey uh can you guys make me some Ages of Empires pics" |
I picked 2000 to beat 1996 and 1997. :-/ Kampfmaschine Advokaiser punched my lights out in the 2018 Guru. My bracket was soft... just like my heart! |
2000 vs 1996 was pretty bs as well, since 2000 didn't get GSC iirc. congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru |
Who gives a shit about GSC? I can't wait until it gets embarrassed, again "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and hellboy" - trancer1 lol xstats |
yeah that sucked. I guess I've had some pretty crushing Ls in the last few contests, between that and CT to the finals xyzzy |
squexa posted... 2000 vs 1996 was pretty bs as well, since 2000 didn't get GSC iirc. I'm still salty about it! Kampfmaschine Advokaiser punched my lights out in the 2018 Guru. My bracket was soft... just like my heart! |
Ori isn't indie. It's published by Microsoft |
It's
funny, before the contest, Three Houses getting 60% against Inquisition
would've been seen as a huge win for it that probably guaranteed it
winning the division. All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |
Is it too soon to lol bt? If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? #theresafreakingghostafterus |
why did you guys go so low on Fire Emblem again |
FFDragon posted... Is it too soon to lol bt?Is it ever? "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
damn, how weak is dragon age add the c and back away iphonesience |
Like 60% of this bracket is turbo fodder If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? #theresafreakingghostafterus |
transcience posted... damn, how weak is dragon age after what FO4 did I kind of expected this Dragon Age is in the same tier if not even lower |
Hoped for much better from Ori here. Maybe it'll buck the indie trends and rise through the poll since it's against FE. We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
Bloodborne might be a top 10 game watch out add the c and back away iphonesience |
Ya, I'm done with this contest Yikes "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and hellboy" - trancer1 lol xstats |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... Ya, I'm done with this contest It's not GameFAQs' fault you don't know the difference between the Wii and Wii U. Not a stinky alien. :( Nintendo Switch Code: SW-5719-6555-8388 |
that fire emblem board vote holy moly |
WarThaNemesis2 posted... It's not GameFAQs' fault you don't know the difference between the Wii and Wii U.Both were garbage systems with no good exclusives, tonnes of shovelware and their only redeeming quality is how great they are to softmod and emulate on. Isn't a Wii U just 2 Wiis duct taped together? "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and hellboy" - trancer1 lol xstats |

It's actually hilarious how quickly my bracket went to absolute shit. I can take solace that at least I'll have called Nier > Pokemon right "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and hellboy" - trancer1 lol xstats |
well
that's that. clearly shovel knight didn't legit win. Also I am going to
lose 2 more today so I might as well forget caring, despite having
started the day in the top 2%. lol. Guess who I am. |
hell yeah crew today add the c and back away iphonesience |
okay maybe not xyzzy |
yeah Persona 4 looks like it might be in some trouble that Power Hour wore off way too quickly |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... I can take solace that at least I'll have called Nier > Pokemon right but can you really |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... I'll eat my hat and stop ragging on Xenoshit if it clears 60% on Overwatch. I'm still not convinced, and I think you guys are insane going so high. I think its close enough that it could go either way, but 65+%? No way |
it’s gonna be hilarious when gta actually just ends up winning this division |
I can’t tell if I want to see Persona try to hulk up and overcome the remake stigma or if I want a rockstar battle add the c and back away iphonesience |
