What a weird freeze considering how different the final percentages are likely to be. |
I think I'd rather have Pokemon here, but Nier isn't out of this yet Skyrim feels like it'll get like 65% xyzzy |
Honestly Skyrim could rise 10% and I'd still call this a bad result It's Reyn Time. |
Skyrim actually dropped from the freeze last round, heh. Of course, MK8's a very different opponent. All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |
I hate everything about this |
this
would be really cool if Nier pulled this off. we don't have many JRPGs
from the last 5 years that can hang with a Pokemon game, remake or not. xyzzy |
At
the very least I think we can end this talk of Pokemon beating Skyrim
unless it rises to heaven from here, which I doubt even if it wins. |
yeah I think this is over. Nier doesn't have the trends to pull this off. good try though. xyzzy |
Pokemon ruins everything |
The Mana Sword posted... Pokemon ruins everything Even when it only has one game in the contest it still manages to be a buzzkill |
Yeah, this feels like it's just going to be P4G vs. RDR/GTAV all over again. |
UGH You should be able to post in all caps! |
Noooo I don’t want this accuracy point :( Journey was the red flag. Advokaiser is the man. Congrats! |
And as it comes, my bracket goes. Seems like the list of things that need to happen for Skyrim > Witcher keeps getting less and less believable. Advokaiser is the man. Congrats! |
could be worse I'm tied for 9th with a bracket that had Witcher 3 > Skyrim until I changed it to God of War > Witcher 3 at the last moment thelefty for analysis crew 2008 imo -transience I have a third degree burn in flame-o-nomics -Sir Chris |

2 accuracy points? truly a miracle |
Moltar VS Kleenex, who you got? So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? Nice job Hylian Knight 3, you were better than me in the Guru Contest! |

When are the next guest sign-ups? |
Nintendogs posted... When are the next guest sign-ups? We've got a week until the next matches so probably not for a few days. |
I want the Mario vs Smash write-up. Don't need anything else. I think my write-up might end up bigger than the rest of the crew's combined. |
good luck add the c and back away iphonesience |
I imagine we'll all be talkative for the rest of these matches because there's actually stuff to discuss now! |
Fair point lol. |
I have to say, it feels weirdly freeing to not have to write anything today! xyzzy |
You all could write your thoughts on the contest so far. So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? Nice job Hylian Knight 3, you were better than me in the Guru Contest! |
it's
pretty good! I mean, that's from lowered expectations of all games
being weak and vote totals being even weaker, but for a 2020 contest
it's pretty enjoyable. pretty good bracket placement overall, maybe it
would have been improved by a couple of tweaks but no big deal. I'm real excited for smash/odyssey and the fight for who gets to lose to witcher 3 should be fun. xyzzy |
Yeah I agree. I guess I should write some stuff on my topic too just for fun since no matches for a few days. So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? Nice job Hylian Knight 3, you were better than me in the Guru Contest! |
Yeah,
there are some changes in bracket placement I would've made, but it's
definitely been entertaining. At the very least, it's setting up some
pretty good matches toward the end of the bracket, which is what you
want. |
Nintendogs posted... When are the next guest sign-ups?what leon said + I was thinking about doing it in this topic and setting a time for them to open up (or setting a time when it would be allowed to call dibs on an announced match) and maybe some of the matches that have more of a demand can have multiple guest spots? I dunno open to suggestions Moltar Status: hype Contest Analysis Crew Archives: http://thecrew.speedrunwiki.com/ |
Safer_777 posted... You all could write your thoughts on the contest so far.pretty good overall, the amount of fodder blowouts in round 1 was a bit of a drag, but rounds 2 and 3 have been solid echoing what the others said about some wasted bracket spots but mostly good placements overall I was also thinking about doing more 'Posts from the Crew Archive' during the break if there's any write-ups from previous contests that people want to see or discuss. Moltar Status: hype Contest Analysis Crew Archives: http://thecrew.speedrunwiki.com/ |
I
feel like we gotta bring Melee vs. Brawl out of the archive since that
was the big match from GOTD1 everyone was looking forward to! |
you just want to see it because you called it right! but I do love me some references to the Brawl Fighting League Moltar Status: hype Contest Analysis Crew Archives: http://thecrew.speedrunwiki.com/ |
I mean I don't mind if you want to get some of my biggest misses too because I'm sure there are plenty of them! but yeah I do miss the Brawl Fighting League |
Leonhart4 posted... I imagine we'll all be talkative for the rest of these matches because there's actually stuff to discuss now! speak for yourself |
I probably switched to Melee for the crew even though I had Brawl in my bracket. I actually wonder if Mario/Samus is a more apt comparison though. if this goes 60/40 it will be. my guess is it’s not close. add the c and back away iphonesience |
and I nominate archive write ups for things I got right |

“A RALLYING POKEMON GATHERS NO LOSS” lololol Kampfmaschine Advokaiser punched my lights out in the 2018 Guru. My bracket was soft... just like my heart! |
whoa. the end of that 2013 contest was just madness. I felt hopeless trying to put any logic into it. add the c and back away iphonesience |
I was so much more creative 7 years ago |
I wonder if I had given up on betting against Pokemon at that point! I know I had given up on Draven losing by then! |
here’s a retroactive hottest take - the Draven stuff was infinitely better than any of the Pokemon stuff add the c and back away iphonesience |
transcience posted... here’s a retroactive hottest take - the Draven stuff was infinitely better than any of the Pokemon stuff I feel like this is a no brainer. At least Draven was only once per round! |
The
fallout after Draven/Link was hilarious. Meltdowns galore. I guess
that's the nearest I'll ever see to what you guys knew from 2k2-2k5. We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
nah,
Draven was so clearly one sided. that was a takeover. in ye olden days,
there were arguments on each side. Undertale is more like the old days
than Draven. add the c and back away iphonesience |
Maybe the matches themselves sucked less, but the Draven stuff had people making fun of users committing suicide. Also, Mega Man > Charizard remains the highlight of that contest and wouldn't have been as hype had Pokémon not wrecked brackets elsewhere. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to Advokaiser, the winner of the Character Battle X guru contest. |
oh man the Second Chance Contest is basically an Oracle Contest time for the Crew to step up their game and dominate |
