LeonhartFour posted... Yep, Tifa is one of the few characters who has only lost to Noble Niners 1-on-1. Yeah Tifa's bracket placement just haven't been the most fun. Almost no characters fit the 1v1 thing so probably not, especially since 4 ways and 3 ways has jokes and rallies dominating. No Noble Nine character only lost to Noble Nine characters either. Tifa is actually closer to this feat that every NNer except Samus who only has the Draven loss. I think Zelda has had fortunate enough bracket placement and contest misses to have no 1v1 loss against outside forces. Then she ended up being strong enough that it would never happen even with contests. That's the only one I can think of. Bowser is a match against a Pokemon on HGSS release day away from it.

Missingno.’s only 1-on-1 loss is to Sephiroth! [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO Azuarc NO PEACE] |
That
year was the worst one for match pictures. It’s actually why I started
making them, because good hell did they need to be toned down to being
more simple. "Ulti you stone cold ninja bastard." -Suprak "The enemy of my enemy is also my enemy." |
AxemRedRanger posted... Missingno.’s only 1-on-1 loss is to Sephiroth! True I looked at things with more than a single 1v1 appearence. 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. |
In that case: Captain Falcon's only 1-on-1 losses are to Crono, Cloud, and Sephiroth. [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO Azuarc NO PEACE] |
Ha, good catch, that's amusing. Wonder if there are others with that many appearences. 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. |
Man, that competitive swimming picture sure is something. I think user-submitted pictures "peaked" right there. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, azuarc, winner of Game of the Decade! |
Just wait, there's more! |
LeonhartFour posted... Just wait, there's more!Oh I know there are some "treasures" upcoming, but the theme itself is just so unfitting on top of it just resulting in a blurry mess that vaguely resembles the characters it is portraying.

I think Zelda's only lost to Noble Niners 1v1 as well. Congrats on Advokaiser for winning the 2018 Guru Contest! Yesmar |
Yeah I went and double checked after I wrote that. A bit fortunate initially but nonetheless true. 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. |

What
bothers me about the pencil picture is that they look like colored
pencils, but then the "sketches" are just standard pencil color. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, azuarc, winner of Game of the Decade! |
I
know it's to have the names that way but I would have names elsewhere
probably and then have the pencils make up less of the picture. 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. |
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3294-division-3-final-samus-ganondorf-vincent-gordon To think Vincent vs. Ganondorf was a toss-up match a couple years ago, much less how hard it would flip now.

Here's a great idea, let's make everything blurry |
that's the most Ulti looking pic I have ever seen Sumi-E and gaussian blur on the characters, impact font with default outer glow, and horny ZSS edit (|| ' ' ||) If my calculations are correct, you should be . /|_|\ receiving this transmission in the year 2013 AD. |
ZenOfThunder posted... that's the most Ulti looking pic I have ever seenI didn’t make pictures that year. "Ulti you stone cold ninja bastard." -Suprak "The enemy of my enemy is also my enemy." |
Looks like that was a Coffee Ninja special |
On the other hand, I do like that Zen did a Beatles reference here, because why the f*** not? https://www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery/albums/cb7/cb7-51-4.jpg Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, azuarc, winner of Game of the Decade! |

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3295-division-4-final-crono-l-block-pikachu-alucard save_us.rat, the one time we were all cheering for Pikachu also no particularly bad pics for this match, which was a nice bonus! |
Honestly
an extremely important result. L-Block probably makes the finals again
without save_us.rat. Probably doesn't win outright, but you never know.
Pikachu was the right character in the right place. It's Reyn Time. (edited 11/7/2023 9:17:03 PM)report |
I'm always cheering for Pikachu. My bracket looked like random picks compared to his. Congrats to azuarc for winning the GotD 2020 Guru Contest! |
Pic
wise, this was the first match of the round that had more than four
pictures accepted, and boy does it show that the picsmiths were inspired
by a match with both Pikachu and L-Block. https://www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery/albums/cb7/cb7-52-3.jpg Zen making an Office Space themed picture rules. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, azuarc, winner of Game of the Decade! |
There
were so many joke runs that year, but I really do think if Zack gets
past Mario he had a chance to win that contest. Dumber things have
happened. "Ulti you stone cold ninja bastard." -Suprak "The enemy of my enemy is also my enemy." |
Cube
didn't really threat to get further after defeating a leeched Mega Man.
I doubt Zack does anything but fold the following round tbh, maybe he
allows Samus to get through over Crono. 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. |
Nah, Zack being in the final just means he leeches off of Cloud and Snake takes second more easily. |
Zack definitely folds harder to Cloud than Crono, while both served the same job of keeping Cloud behind Snake. 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. |

I have vivid memories of making this one, somehow I didn't know what a corkboard was called so I was googling things like "thing to put pins in" I think I actually was so dumb that I couldn't figure it out and the corkboard you see in the final pic looks like s*** because I made it myself I was, and remain, a dumbass (|| ' ' ||) If my calculations are correct, you should be . /|_|\ receiving this transmission in the year 2013 AD. |
I only found out it was called a corkboard a few years ago so it sounds like you were still many years ahead of me. My bracket looked like random picks compared to his. Congrats to azuarc for winning the GotD 2020 Guru Contest! |
...Those things are called corkboards? It's Reyn Time. |
Well it is a board made of cork... "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |
ZenOfThunder posted... you made a lot of good pics, you just made way too many so people remember the less creative stuff you did versus the quality stuffI made a stock image for every match and I will never apologize for it 🙄 "Ulti you stone cold ninja bastard." -Suprak "The enemy of my enemy is also my enemy." |
Corkboards are real, and they're fantastic. O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://i.imgur.com/OpudFxm.jpg |
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3296-division-5-final-mega-man-cube-snake-zero Bad draw for Mega Man, brought down just enough to lose to the Weighted Companion Cube. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, azuarc, winner of Game of the Decade! |

I remember predicting Snake would beat Mega Man and Zero combined So close |
Considering
how few Mega Man characters are in these things, it's ridiculous how
often he meets Zero in multi ways. At least he overcomes the leeching
next time. 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. |

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3297-division-6-final-squall-sora-cloud-mewtwo Mewtwo continues to pick up the scraps from SFF this contest. https://www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery/albums/cb7/cb7-54-4.jpg And I love this picture of the match playing Rock Band.

Squall got pitted against Cloud and Snake way too often 2002 - Snake 2004 - Cloud 2006 - Snake 2007 - Snake 2008 - Cloud 2010 - Snake Rivals - Cloud And of course they stopped putting him against them as he started getting weaker lawl |
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3298-division-7-final-kirby-m-chief-dante-leon The pink puff ball continues to roll on through, but you'd still never guess that Kirby is about to embarrass multiple Noble Niners. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, azuarc, winner of Game of the Decade! |
It should've been Big Boss |
To clarify, I think Kirby probably still wins because of the standout factor, but Big Boss probably could've beaten Dante, too. |
