Maybe we can be done with the 2003 poll numbers by the time the next contest rolls around |
lol at the guy saying the elite 8 round is guaranteed to be tight across the board, with matchups such as mario vs donkey kong. |
did anyone think Mario vs. DK would be close in 2002 |
Poll Which character should advance?
DANG, yo! azuarc - Good friend, VGM lover, Guru Champion. I pass my baton on to you! |
Leonhart4 posted... did anyone think Mario vs. DK would be close in 2002 If Donkey Kong had just almost doubled Bowser in 2002 going into the Mario match, I bet people would have been arguing Donkey Kong over Mario straight-up. Not a stinky alien. :( Nintendo Switch Code: SW-5719-6555-8388 (edited 2/25/2021 12:35:31 PM) |
Now
imagine if Sonic had beaten Yoshi, the character many thought would be
strongest because of those favorite Mario characters polls...! |

It’s Freaking Mario It's like paying for bubble wrap. -transience on Final Fantasy: All the Bravest |
Well, I would say Mega Man > Sephiroth due to Smash, but then I remember Seph's in Smash, too. Come watch me on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/gameryogi azuarc beat me. |
Semifinals and Finals are both tomorrow so only 1 day left. My bracket looked like random picks compared to his. Congrats to azuarc for winning the GotD 2020 Guru Contest! |
https://www.instagram.com/p/CLvSMiAMc6X/ looks like Tony Hawk won by enough on Instagram and Facebook to overcome his 500 vote deficit between the main page and Twitter |
https://www.theringer.com/2021/2/26/22291969/best-video-game-character-bracket-final-four-mario-link-sonic The long-awaited Mario vs. Sonic match |
Hey Leon. See how much fun a rally is when the site running a contest embraces them? "Ulti, I'm convinced you aren't native to this planet." -ColZach Embrace perfection: http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx |
Is
Mario SFFing Sonic or is Sonic much, much weaker than an SFF'd DK?
Sonic is getting demolished here. I wonder how well Link will do in the
finals. Rallies aren't that bad when they aren't really changing anything. It's close enough to no rallying. Like imagine if the Tom Nook rally was successful and Tony Hawk never makes his run. That would have been a disaster. Fortunately, the rally wasn't that strong. My bracket looked like random picks compared to his. Congrats to azuarc for winning the GotD 2020 Guru Contest! |

I wonder how well Link will do in the finals.Mario and Sonic literally have the SAME EXACT FANBASE. If this match was on our site, I predict 75-25.

Yeah,
rallies are more likely to ruin things. If you need a rally to make a
contest interesting then the bracket was poorly constructed (or in
TheRinger's case, everyone has the same opinion) Congratulations to azuarc for winning the guru challenge |
The one that triggered me was the dude writing about Luigi and repeatedly calling him Luigi MarioThat was an Easter egg from the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. On the live-action portion they called themselves Mario Mario and Luigi Mario because they are the Mario "Bros.". He obviously is an 80s baby. |
Also, I know I just popped up out of the blue for this lol. For all of the older Board 8 heads that know me.... How's life? |
therealmnm posted...
I get where it comes from. I just can't tell if he really believes it or not. |
It's
just unbelievable people will look at a small rally that overturns a
close result and then undertale and say "yep same thing" |
Or a match where both entries appear to be capable of small rallies back and fourth. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to azuarc, the winner of the Game of the Decade II guru contest. |
did Ulti say the thing again |
Team Rocket Elite posted... Is Mario SFFing Sonic or is Sonic much, much weaker than an SFF'd DK? Sonic is getting demolished here. I wonder how well Link will do in the finals. Sonic has looked weaker than DK in every round prior to this. The only reason to take Sonic over DK on The Ringer is because Sonic is strong here. Not a stinky alien. :( Nintendo Switch Code: SW-5719-6555-8388 |
Yeah, I'd wager DK would beat Sonic there. Dude looked legit. |
https://www.theringer.com/2021/2/26/22291974/best-video-game-character-bracket-final-mario-vs-link it begins I got the first vote (or at least it said I did, it may not do live updating) |

Mario is over a doubling on Twitter and has been pulling away strong on the main site. Time for Zelda fans to respect the MAW. Not a stinky alien. :( Nintendo Switch Code: SW-5719-6555-8388 (edited 2/26/2021 2:06:18 PM) |
Link
might hang around the 60/40 mark on the main site since he's done
noticeably better there than their social media polls but yeah, it's
ugly everywhere else. |
It's safe to say this result wouldn't happen over here. bwburke94 mobile alt |

I know SFF is involved, but Mario's margins of victory in this contest are wild. Azuarc is my favorite arc of the Game of the Decade 2020 anime. |
What does Mario need to get on Link for Samus to get 50.02% on Sonic? My bracket looked like random picks compared to his. Congrats to azuarc for winning the GotD 2020 Guru Contest! |

By the way, interesting heat map for today's poll:  Hey, @LusterSoldier , can you track which are the top countries (or states, even) that have the most children with internet censorship? Thanks. (We gotta know where the fresh blood [little as it is] comes from!) Edit: My initial intention was to look at North Korea's overall results, but unfortunately it doesn't have any votes. azuarc - Good friend, VGM lover, Guru Champion. I pass my baton on to you!

How is tony hawk under chief if he won?? |
pjbasis posted... How is tony hawk under chief if he won?? Because he won on their Facebook and Instagram polls, which don't post their vote totals. I only used the main site and Twitter polls since they actually give their vote totals. |
New Pokemon games. Remakes too. Well buy for me of course. So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? Azuarc the best Guru of the 2020 Contest! Nice job man! |

I'm quite surprised, I honestly didn't think Link could do that much damage to Mario. Not after every smashing Mario result. azuarc - Good friend, VGM lover, Guru Champion. I pass my baton on to you! |
It just speaks to Link's popularity that he held up as well as he did. |
