Added by Ngamer Biography 
Edit
Ulti has an awesome shirt.
Less importantly, Ulti has been the most well-known user on Board 8 ever since winning the original Best. Game. Ever. back in the Spring of 2004. He did so with a score of 185 out of a possible 192 points, the highest point total anyone had managed in a Contest to that point. Ulti has also run Guru Contests alongside his partner Ngamer for every Contest beyond Games '04 (and has since passed it on to Ngamer outright, since he was doing the hard parts anyway) and was instrumental in keeping the Contest Stats and Discussion topic series alive and active after solarshadow's departure that same year.
The B8 accomplishment Ulti is most proud of, however, are his PCAs (for Post-Contest Analysis), major projects where he would create quality writeups for every poll of a previous Contest as soon as it was over. Ulti's PCAs have been archived in their entirety on this wiki, and can be read on any of the Contest match pages.
Ulti's other favorite projects are influencing Contest History pages for everyone who made a Character Battle, and his multi-board contests involving video games and bands. He hosted the pages on the freewebs site that he and MMXcalibur updated for many years, but those pages have likewise now been incorporated into the wiki, thanks to a ton of transfer help from The Raven 2. They can be found in the Contest Histories section of this site. Recently, users Menji76, charmander6000 and Leonhart4 began a project to finish the work Ulti and MMXcalibur started -- reformatting and updating the contest history pages and finally getting the entire project up to current speed. Ulti massively appreciated the effort.
Believe it or not, Ulti is also pretty famous outside of Board 8. His broken foot from the FFT Calculator SCC remains one of gaming's most legendary injuries, he was fairly known in the competitive Melee community, he's one of the only B8ers not to get banned (or even modded) for a "Hi, I'm from Board 8" topic on PotD, he avoided getting modded for the 25m incident something and a debate is always going on about whether or not Ulti is a rat for the GameFAQs mods. Wherever Ulti goes, something fun always seems to follow. He also started a lot of random trends on GameFAQs, like the pre-sig fad, the "Rate the ____" fad that permeated every single social board on the entire site (Board 8 especially was a swarm of rating topics for months once Ulti started "Rate the Game") and making the new topic in a series before the older one hits 500 posts. He even convinced CJayC to move the poll start time back to midnight.
Recently, Ulti has been enjoying making match pictures under the tutelage of ZenOfThunder and KamikazePotato, and being the Board 8 Wiki's resident bad cop -- the latter of which comes from him thinking Ngamer64 is way too nice for his own good. Which isn't a bad thing at all (Ngamer for life), but everything could use a guy up top who doesn't afraid of anything and lays down the pwnanza. Zachnorn will never admit publicly he enjoys having a so-called bad cop around, but he does. Anyone who is too nice enjoys an ass-kicking assistant.
Lastly, Ulti is always doing massive study time for Purdue's extremely prestigious and difficult vet school (it only accepts 30 people annually). If by some miracle he survives recruit training, he will be a vet one day and treat all of Board 8's animals for free.

Random Final Fantasy Rankings Edit
My favorite series, even if it's been crap since Final Fantasy X. I'll add more to this periodically.
FF13 Main Characters: Fang > Vanille > Snow > Sazh > Lightning > Hope
Superpowered Optional Boss Fights: Emerald and Ruby FF7 > Omega and Shinryu FF5 > Omega FF8 > FF12's famous hunts (there were so many good ones that it adds up to a nice experience) > FF4's optional summons and treasure bosses > FFX's monster arena (would go higher if not for max-stats-then-win being all you need, plus unlocking the fights is more fun than the fights themselves) > WarMech FF1 > Ozma FF9 > the dumb bonus dragons in FF6 Advance > Haniwa FFL2 > Gigantuar and Vercingetorix FF13
Honorable mention to that thing who almost killed a party of FF11 players in real life because they spent 18 hours in a row on it like idiots. Way to prove every stereotype of MMO players, guys.

Brawl AI Tournaments Edit
I love running these for Board 8, but unfortunately I didn't save all the results to Bracketmaker. July of 2010 is the first one I saved, but it was my fourth overall. Pikachu, in some form, won the first three AI contests. When I finally started recording them, Pikachu was upset.
But for formality's sake, we'll start counting them officially here. I plan on making it a semi-regular thing. Zachnorn won my original contest and has been the super secret final boss ever since. Him and his Pikachu are undefeated. If someone can ever defeat him, they will take his title and get to choose their own stage for future title defenses. Zachnorn's level of choice is New Pork City.
For the second contest, Kazbar went on a sick run with Missionary Mario, and went on to lose to Zachnorn's Pikachu.
Shados pretty much stomped the third contest, including ending Zachnorn's reign of terror and becoming the new super secret final boss.
Umineko Rankings Edit
I can finish this once the story itself is finished.
Episode Ranking: 7 > 1 > 6 > 4's second half > 5 > 3 > 2 > 4's first half
