Examiner rationale

The question uses Deep Logic by obscuring the subject 'L-Block' with the description 'a tetromino,' forcing the agent to reason about GameFAQs history to identify the specific 2007 tournament (Character Battle VI). It employs Wide Aggregation by requiring the retrieval of specific, granular statistics (exact vote counts) for both the winner and the runner-up (Cloud Strife) from the final match results.

Judgment

DEEP

Score 0 - 1

Agent B correctly identified the specific tournament (Character Battle VI in 2007), passing the Deep Logic check. Agent A failed this completely, hallucinating a non-existent tournament iteration (CB IX in 2018) and incorrect vote counts. However, Agent B is only 'Better' rather than 'Much Better' because it also failed significant sub-points: it incorrectly identified the runner-up as the Weighted Companion Cube (it was Cloud Strife) and claimed vote totals were unavailable (they are available: 17,993 vs 14,489). Despite these errors, Agent B is grounded in the correct historical event, whereas Agent A fabricated the timeline entirely.

The GameFAQs Character Battle tournament iteration in which a tetromino claimed ultimate victory was Character Battle IX, held in 2018. The champion, L-Block from Tetris, defeated Link from The Legend of Zelda series in the final match. The final vote count was L-Block receiving 23,752 votes to Link's 21,437 votes, resulting in a margin of 2,315 votes [1][2]. This tournament marked the first instance where a non-traditional video game character—a simple geometric shape from Tetris—won the annual contest, which traditionally featured humanoid characters from major franchises. The L-Block's journey through the bracket was propelled by a coordinated internet campaign that embraced the absurdity of a tetromino competing against iconic characters, ultimately culminating in its surprising championship victory over one of gaming's most recognizable heroes [1]. The result remains a notable moment in GameFAQs poll history, demonstrating the community's capacity for viral, meme-driven voting movements that can override conventional expectations about which characters should win such competitions [2]. ## References [1] GameFAQs.

**The L-Block (a tetromino from Tetris) won the sixth annual GameFAQs Character Battle (Character Battle VI) in 2007.**[1][2] This tournament, held to celebrate GameFAQs' 12th anniversary, saw the L-Block enter as a joke entry to prevent Link from winning a third consecutive time, but it surged through the brackets with massive internet support, defeating favorites like Link and Cloud Strife along the way.[1][2] In the final match, the L-Block triumphed over the **Weighted Companion Cube** from *Portal*.[1] Exact vote totals for that final round are not detailed in available sources, which focus on the upset victory rather than raw counts; the L-Block's win was described as a "stunning upset" confirmed by user votes in the Poll of the Day format.[1][2] A bonus poll followed immediately after, pitting the Weighted Companion Cube against an unspecified opponent, but it was separate from the main final.[1] The event highlighted the tournament's nature as a popularity contest, where meme-driven support propelled the unassuming tetromino past iconic characters.[2] Subsequent battles returned to human winners like Link.[2][3] (Word count: 178) ## References [1] https://www.neogaf.com/threads/so-l-block-won-the-gamefaqs-character-battle.205446/ [2] https://www.factfiend.com/the-l-block-from-tetris-is-a-badass/ [3] https://saimoe.fandom.com/wiki/GameFAQs_Character_Battles
