It's that time of the year again.
I'm betting most of you do not like it, but it's just so much fun. You thought the console wars debates were rough when dealing with Sony and Microsoft fanboys? This is even rougher. Characters are insulted as well as the company they are tied to. Not only that, with a prize reward of $300 on the line, you'll see "internet advertising" going around when July starts. Also. Anyone here ever participated in an NCAA bracket? You could fill out a similar bracket and whoever gets the most points when the battle is finished gets the prize of 300 online dollars.
What do I mean by "internet advertising" though? Well, it is when people go around other sites advertising this contest and trying to force people to vote for a specific character. Planet Gamecube was involved in it when Mario was losing against Cloud. You might say this is what sucks about it, but that is what makes it great in a sense as well. So many people get into it, especially when there is a reward involved, in this case, there is.
This year's looks to be more violent than last year's. I heard accounts of forums and chatrooms being invaded already with people trying to advertise the characters they want to win. It will be hell this summer when the contest launches off.
But in the end, it's all about how much fun it was to participate in a video-game contest of this magnitude. As for me, it's a ton of fun, especially if I place in the top ten of the contest.
Also, fifteen Nintendo characters are involved this year. Sweet. Nintendo characters nearly make 25% of the characters in this year's battle.
