Best. Minigame. Ever. (Week 5: Grand (?) Finale)
« on: August 28, 2008, 03:27:20 AM »
Late again. Well, at least week six can't be late (because there isn't one. Har).

Results first:

Triple Triad (FFVIII) (x) vs. Morrie's MONSTROUS PIT (DQ8) (viii)
Blitzball (FFX) (vii) vs. Super Jude Bros. (WA4) (vii) (Tie broken by Hatbot)

ARM WRESTLING (G2) (v) vs. Sidejumping (LoL2) (v) (Tie broken by Hatbot)

In a week (or two) of close fights, we get two out of three matches decided by the dread 'bot. Truly this is a sign that the end times are upon us. Another is that Grandia 2's celebrated ARM WRESTLING minigame pulled out a total victory in the Failure Division. Let's hear it for that fruity pirate whose name I forget!

Before the Earth is stripped of its charged particles and turned into a superdense lump of neutrons, however, we have...finals!

Triple Triad (FFVIII) vs. Blitzball (FFX)

Squall or Tidus. The choice is yours, folks (and it's the choice of a new generation).

~

BONUS: Can our vaunted failure division champ tangle with the big boys? Plenty of you have said "such-and-such game belongs in the normal bracket," so let's find out if the (democratically selected) best of them can make a go of things with our finalists!

Blitzball kicks the crap out of Triple Triad. Epic failure of a finals.

Triple Triad (FFVIII) vs. Blitzball (FFX) - I was addicted to Triple Triad for...  Maybe 1/5 of my total game time?  Blitzball had me addicted for at least 1/3.

Triple Triad vs Blitzball- Eh, it's fun, Blitzball drags.  Simple.

But both beat Arm Wrestling.

TRIPLE TRIAD, BABY.

The best two games in the tournament get to the finals, so I'm happy!

Oh, also, ARM WRESTLING loses against both.

Triple Triad (FFVIII) vs. Blitzball (FFX): Blitzball never really hooked me.

ARM WRESTLING (G2) vs. Triple Triad (FFVIII)
ARM WRESTLING (G2) vs. Blitzball (FFX): The mandatory part is over quicker.

Triple Triad (FFVIII) vs. Blitzball (FFX) - What the hell are these two doing in the finals? Voting for either one causes me physical pain. Since it's basically a choice between rubbing sandpaper over my forehead or sticking a potato peeler up my nose and turning it counter-clockwise, I suppose I'll go with the sandpaper option.

ARM WRESTLING (G2) vs. Triple Triad (FFVIII) - Ugh.
ARM WRESTLING (G2) vs. Blitzball (FFX) - This is how much I hate potato peelers -- I mean, Blitzball. This is how much I hate Blitzball.

I... well... Triple Triad's more like someone hitting me with a feather duster for six hours and giving me five bucks afterward, but the analogy is apt in some ways.

Triple Triad.

I found Blitzball to be fun, but Triple Triad had better in-game rewards for being hooked on it.

Arm Wrestling conquers all! (No, it doesn't, it's utter fail.)

Super Jude Bros. as a write-in vote!

Blitzball.

Cuz I have so voted up until now.

Yeah, probably just me being a sports fan more than a card games fan generally.

The time has come today! (Time!)

FINAL RESULTS FOR FINAL FINAL FANTASY GAMES IN FINAL ROUND:

Triple Triad (FFVIII) (vii) vs. Blitzball (FFX) (x)

There was a scary moment there where it looked like Hatbot might decide the finals, but today's votes pushed FFX to the top with...ten votes, how about that? As for the bonus:

ARM WRESTLING (G2) (ii) vs. Triple Triad (FFVIII) (xi)
ARM WRESTLING (G2) (iv) vs. Blitzball (FFX) (ix)

G2 nabbed some votes at the start but, alas, just didn't have the legs to run with the big boys. Better luck next time, fruity pirate guy I forget the name of!
