Why Did They Lose?

Why Did They Lose? is a humorous series of topics during that began in the Summer 2006 Contest, asking users to give a reason why the losing characters in the contest polls did not win their match. Stating that a character has "less votes/popularity" isn't a reason good enough. It is currently being ran by Aran Shiizaa, who was known for years as Dr. Pizza on Board 8.

The idea was created by PrivateBiscuit1 who started running the series of topics in 2006. Dr. Pizza (now known as Aran Shiizaa) also help ran this contest when PrivateBiscuit1 was having computer problems durring Character Battle V. But when both stopped updating after Auron's topic, some lurker decided to do the final ones.

PrivateBiscuit1 brought it back for Character Battle VI. Although Dr. Pizza actually planned on bringing it back before hand.

"Why Did They Lose?" was brought back once again for the 3rd year in a row, this time being being ran by Dr. Pizza, and Whit3_Rabb1t for Character Battle VII. Whit3_Rabb1t was supposed to take over for Biscuit, but he was nowhere to be found, so he gave Dr. Pizza permission to run it on instead. But when Whit3_Rabb1t got hold of Dr. Pizza, and they agreed to run it together.

However, White Rabbit seemed to never be online at the end of each battle, and Dr. Pizza hadn't felt like posting them, therefore our Lurker *see user list down below, or put the mouse over the damn link up there!* decided to come back and help post the topics with us.

As of Character Battle VII, Runner-ups are now considered to be allowed under the winner, if Dr. Pizza, White Rabbit, or The Lurker believed they were funny enough to be mentioned. The first Runner Up ever to get this honor was to "The Utility Man" for his reason why King Dedede and Pit lost to Ryu (Ninja Gaiden) and Zero (Mega Man X). Although someone ACTUALLY had gotten this before hand, but was not recorded.

On October 14th, 2008. Dr. Pizza quit because he'd "had enough of how shitty the jokes for each topic were, since no one had any imagination anymore. and im tired of it." and White Rabbit pretty much vanished, so Mr. Lurker ran the topics till the end of Round 1, and Dr. Pizza decided to come back and this time run it completly on his own.

But on October 26th, 2008. Dr Pizza had enough of topics with only maybe 20 responses, half of which bordering between mediocre and pathetic, so he finally closed the series of topics for good. This was repeated during the Best Game Ever 2009 Contest.

It was brought back for the Character Battle VIII by Dark Young Link. Hopefully the return of 1-1 will allow it to go through the entire contest... along with Igor working on the Wiki, and Dr. Pizza helping whenever something needs updated or dealt with.

For the 2010 Game of the Decade, Dr. Pizza returned as Aran Shiizaa. (His real name in Japanese, which is Allan Caesar in English). He changed user names due to an account suicide he did. (So all votes that are Dr. Pizza and Aran Shiizaa are the same person)

NOTE: Reasons that are listed in BOLD are Dr. Pizza's favorites of all-time.

 * 10) Doom & Streets of Rage 2 lost because... John Stalvern waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were Nintendo games in the poll. He didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to Cernel Axel were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway. John was a space marine for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the GameFAQs contest and he said to dad "I want to be in the contest daddy." Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY NINTENDO" There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got the night vote he stopped. But now in the sixteenth hour of the poll he knew there was Donkey Kong Country. "This is Axel" the radio crackered. "You must fight the monkeys!" So John gotted his palsma rifle and blew up the wall.

Samus's screw attack was completely ineffective. - Kamekguy
 * 4) Sephiroth lost because... It's a nice sword, I'll give you that. But the absurd length gives you no tactical advantage whatsoever, unless you were planning to auction it off as a collector's item. And you're forgetting one more very basic thing... Sephiroth didn't have what it takes to beat Snake. - IWspy RUNNER-UP Sephiroth's game was corrupted from his encounter with Missingno. - greatone10

Semifinals

 * 1) Mario lost because... http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x101/haydenjensen/Legend%20of%20Zelda/13001035627.gif - inuyasha1031
 * 2) Solid Snake lost because... Samuel L. Jackson threw him out of the plane - Caelus

Finals

 * 1) Cloud Strife lost because... Tired of fighting contest after contest, Link and Epona instead challenged Cloud to a race. Unfortunately for Cloud, Barret stole his bike. - GenesisTwilight

=Game of the Decade 2010=

Round 1

 * 1) InFamous lost because... Because Infamous was so ugly, Rice Krispies wouldn't even talk to it - VincentLauw
 * 2) Rock Band 2 lost because... a Deus Ex Machina - Shoenin_Kakashi
 * 3) Psychonauts lost because... Because it was a night match. - Bigwig_rah RUNNER-UP No one beats Batman when he has time to prepare. - 7Deuce86
 * 4) Fable lost because... Because 37 people chose hats instead of the sword. - Greyfeld 2ND PLACE Fables are for BABIES - Shoenin_Kakashi 3RD PLACE Because Peter Molyneux's talk and hype about Fable making it far was all bull**** - BIGPUN9999
 * 5) Legend of Dragoon lost because... Legend of Dragoon couldn't hold enough votes in its inventory. - Chrono1219
 * 6) Sonic Adventure 2 lost because... I'LL MAKE YOU EAT THOSE WORDS! - Kenri
