Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 203
From: Adept_Of_Aiur | Posted: 8/14/2005 11:09:16 AM | Message Detail

See, the difference there is that unlike a Sonic Mega Collection or a Mega Man Anniversary Collection, The Legend of Zelda Collection came packaged with the GameCube. Those others had to sell on their own little ability. No matter if you were a Zelda fan or not, when you bought a GameCube you got the free copy of the collection. During its time packaged, the GameCube sold around 1 - 2 million units, which gives the Collection roughly the same numbers. Considering there has been an increase for Zelda as a whole, it makes sense that this would be the reasoning as opposed to hype. I don't see the problem in believing this as the reason for the 4% boost.


My thoughts on the matter exactly.

So from one to two million units, which is a relatively small subsection of sales, and then attribute those rereleases to the even smaller percentage of people that come here for a 4% increase?! I'm sorry, I don't buy it--though it seems more reasonable than any TP explanation.

Possibly. It came out around the 27th of August and Link/Cloud happened a few days later. It might have been too recent, but it might have helped.

It sold its best in those first days, outstripping any of the other versions in that time frame. If anything, LINK should have had the momentum that day.

I think the Cell Link/Adult Link is the best explanation for the Link "Increase". Cell Link could have driven away more casual Zelda fans [For example, liked OoT, disliked WW, not too fussed about Zelda as a whole] and could have encouraged more casual FFVII/Square fans to vote Cloud [Example: Like FFVII/Square, but not too fussed, Link is from disliked game, so voted Cloud].

Then Adult Link returns to the polls, and the casual votes may have turned around, favouring Link.

That may be valid reasoning, but I still don't buy it. Seeing how popular Ocarina of Time was and the sheer sales numbers alone, I doubt that a good amount of those Gamecube sales are mutually exclusive with sales of the other Zelda games. At least not enough for the huge difference in Link's direct matchups with Cloud. I would put Soul Calibur II and Twilight Princess in front of LoZ Collection as far as Link's gains are concerned...

On the side, what are the sales of OoT again?

I've said before, I don't think WW Link was enough to make a great deal of voters NOT vote for Link (for example, I think they voted for Link in normal fashion against Aiai and Fox). But I think it is more than enough for someone to vote Cloud in his KH glory over him, especially seeing how they are the two most popular characters on the site.

Remember, a character drop in popularity doesn't necessarily mean that people are NOT voting for them, it simply means that there are more characters that they would vote over said character.

Holy **** that makes a lot of sense. It's logical to think that the Wind Waker picture could have effected Link against the likes of Cloud or Samus, while bearing almost no relevance against weak bastards like Aiai.

Obviously. I've said it before. When it comes right down to it a voters mentality during one match won't necesarily be the same during another. People get too hung up in the transitive factor of the stats.

From: lettuce Kefka | Posted: 8/14/2005 11:37:27 AM | Message Detail
Thinking about it, the "Kingdom Hearts" factor/increase may only apply when the Kingdom Hearts picture is being used, I know this is sounding obvious and silly so far, but bare with me.

Everyone who has played and liked FFVII will very likely remember Cloud's name and recognise Cloud based off the Kingdom Hearts picture, even without knowing about Kingdom Hearts. Yet, the people who have played Kingdom Hearts without playing FFVII [This is likely a very small number, admittedly, and the main flaw in this theory], may not have remembered Cloud's name and might not be able be able to recognise Cloud based on his FFVII art. So, as a result, in '04 when Cloud mainly had FFVII:AC and FFVII pictures, this could have caused him to lose votes.

But, I'll admit, this whole theory is a little farfetched and may only account for a very few number of people, especially on GameFAQs.

Was Tifa in KH? I wouldn't know since I only got up to Aladdin's level before I gave up (sorry, but it wasn't my kind of game though the Disney nostalgia was nice).

Though if the KH factor came into play, she'd get boosted by association with FF7.

Wow, I can't believe everyone's trying to sell Tifa short and coming up with whatever excuse they can to make her weaker than Sonic. Knuckles beats Magus and suddenly everyone thinks the stats don't work anymore. Or they think Tifa's just doing this because ANYONE from FFVII would do this, even Aeris. Or they think Vyse will suddenly drop to the level of Laharl. For one thing, Vyse is not a character with a reason to have large variations from year to year. He should remain relatively constant.

And Lopen, for Tifa not to be able to outdo what Squall did to Luigi, Vyse has to fall to at least 14.17% on Link. Are you trying to tell me he's suddenly on the level with Terry Bogard and Gordon Freeman, and that he would only get 45% on Laharl now? Give me a break.

I know people want to believe their bracket is still in the running, but please be realistic here. Tifa and Vincent have proven to be the real deal here. I want good legitimate reasons why Tifa can't beat Sonic. Don't give me "The stats have failed us every time!" They haven't. They're right more often than they're wrong, especially when we're dealing with a margin this large (Tifa would beat Sonic with 58%ish right now). And don't tell me it's because Sonic's an icon, he's more universally recognized, or whatever. Pac-Man has all of this in his favor, and he's fodder. This is Final Fantasy VII we're dealing with, folks. The biggest force on this site. There is no reason to believe that Tifa could not beat Sonic. Don't tell me we're suddenly going to talk about a lack of recognition with FFVII now.

Honestly, I think some of you are just getting desperate. I've pretty much conceded my bracket at this point because I know I'm not winning. I'm just calling it as I see it right now.

Squall Leonhart's Road to the Summer Contest 2005 Championship
Round 2: (3) Mag...Er...(6) Knuckles the Echidna
From: Sir Bormun | Posted: 8/14/2005 12:26:36 PM | Message Detail
Another thing that came to mind. If Sonic beats Tifa, that will put Jin Kazama over Vyse in the stats.

...Hmm. I really can't see that. I think Tifa's seriously the favorite to get out of this division right now. The only possibility that could give Sonic a chance is what Dabu's been advocating ("Pretty much all of the top tier characters will blow out fodder with approximately the same percentage; there shouldn't be any real surprises here"). I think there may be a grain of truth in that, but we haven't seen too much fodder that has gotten matches against multiple top tier characters in recent years, so we can't know.

So either Tifa wins, or the X-Stats start lookin real weird. I'd bet on Tifa, but wouldn't be surprised by the other.

I think there may be a grain of truth in that, but we haven't seen too much fodder that has gotten matches against multiple top tier characters in recent years, so we can't know.

Looks like we can use Vyse now...4-5% worse than Cloud is not relatively the same. I honestly wouldn't see Sonic doing this either. We've seen variation with CATS, too. Vyse remained relatively unchanged in 2004 despite facing Cloud. There's no reason to believe that Tifa is doing something flukish to him that Cloud couldn't.

From: Sir Crono | Posted: 8/14/2005 12:36:05 PM | Message Detail
Why can't anyone see Jin>Vyse?

Because sales =/= popularity. People just don't like Tekken here. Fighting games have never been big here. The only reason I'd think Ryu is so strong is because he's extremely recognizable and represents fighting games in general. For Jin to be stronger than Vyse, Sonic would have to hop up around Samus.

And yes, I expect people to jump all over me with this lack of transitivity and relying on the stats too much because trashing the stats is the chic thing to do, but they are reliable. They might not catch anomalies, but there's no reason to believe there's one here nor in Sonic/Jin.

I can see Jin > Vyse... I don't know if I would take it, but it sure as hell is plausible. I think if I went up to 100 people on the street, and asked them if they knew what Tekken was, and what Skies of Arcadia was, that Tekken would be a lot more recognized. I'll have to see more to see if I stand behind this, but at this point in time, why not? All Jin has to do is avoid being fodder and he topples Vyse. >_>

I agree with that, as the stats are more often right than they are wrong, it's just that when they are wrong, everyone wants to **** in their pants, and say the stats are so horribly flawed, spouting things like "LOWL X-STATS 4 LFE RIGHT?!?!?" with their insatiable wit.

However, I don't think you can say Sonic would have to jump up to the level of Samus for Jin to be stronger than Vyse, as we have no information on him. I mean if you want to go by sheer prediction of who would do better, go ahead, but it's far from accurate.

I thought Jin was going to be fodder, and he still very well might be, but he could also not be fodder. I didn't think he was going to be horrendous fodder, but maybe in the 16-18 range. Speculating on a characters strength we have no idea of isn't doing us much good.

But Sonic's strength has fluctuated before. In 2002 he was equal with Samus, then he got booted out of the top nine by Magus in 2003, then he returned back to form in 2004 (above Mega Man in the unadjusteds). Who knows what this year is like?

I see no problem with where Jin would rate in the standings based on a relatively constant Sonic (around 33-34%). I would take Vyse over him without too much consideration. After all, we've seen him beat low fodder (Laharl), perform respectably against a mid-carder (DK), and not get embarassed by the best-of-the-best (Cloud)...and I have a hard time believing that Jin would do the same, because this site is far friendlier toward RPG characters than it is toward those from fighting games.

I agree, one who picks Jin over Vyse clearly isn't thinking much.

Tifa seems to have stopped dropping, and maintains herself a few tenths above Samus' projection. This is looking better and better.

In conclusion, I'm disappointed at HM's burning hatred for trash cans.

I think Jin vs. Vyse would be a lot closer than some would think... Fighters are a bit more popular on the site than some would expect, as Scorpion and Ryu have shown. Still, I'd pick Vyse. We already have the stats showing Vyse doing better on Sonic than Jin would (probably... stats HAVE been off this year), and I can't see Jin as being that close to Scorpion.

But I suppose Vyse could have dropped. Hazuki, another Dreamcast cult character (granted, he didn't have the GCN release, but that's been out for a while in Skies's case) dropped from 2k2 to the later years. That's not great evidence, seeing how strange the stats were in 2k2 to other years, but I still wouldn't be surprised at all to see a character like Vyse drop.

Perhaps we should establish the line of what is "fodder" and what isn't at a specific percent rather than a character.
