Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 277

People keep saying no one cares about Peach, but to that I respond:
WHO CARES ABOUT DONKEY KONG?!!
*raises hand*
He has not had a well-received game in over ten years and was even kicked out of Mario Party. Yet he was still able to go toe to toe with a post-Halo 2 Master Chief. I see no reason why Peach can not be just as popular as Donkey Kong.
He may not have had a good game in ten years, but at least he HAS had his own good series. Peach has only had one game of her own and it's not very good from what I've heard. DK's got a way bigger name, and his character design is inherently more appealing (monkeys > non-hot princesses).

Super Princess Peach is currently averaging a 7.9 from review websites
and/or magazines. That is definitely above the level of "not very good."

I think the point they were trying to make is that it's not stellar, not that it's not good. Just a guess though.....

I think the Game Contest had nominations open the very end of February
and the Villian Contest had 'em open on April...2nd? 3rd, maybe? Also
keep in mind that this past summer showed a contest start in the middle
of the month and -- I believe -- both the shortest nomination and
prediction perdiods to date.
I'm not getting up hope.

Spring 2k4 started nominations on Feb. 25. Spring 2k5 stated nominations on April 4th. The Summer 2k5 nomination period was 4 days long. It was one of the shorter one, but wasn't the shortest. Summer 2k3's nomination period was about 2 days long. Summer 2k5 did have the shortest bracket making period.

CJay's swamped... 90 feedback issues he's got to get to, and he's
hardly put a dent in the number all week. But maybe once he gets caught
up?
...yeah, I've got a bad feeling about it too.

However, they do say something about how high Link is thought of.
dunno if anyone besides me finds this interesting, but oh well!

I dreamt last night that CJay opened nominations for a new Game Contest
starting tonight. Everyone was allowed to nominate 10 games of their
choosing, like a standard Summer Contest.
Make me a prophet, Jeff!

Ya know, I just got to thinkin'...for as much as we all love say-so in
nominations, do you think we could get away with CJay picking the games
and seeds for the next Game Contest? It wouldn't ever work again for
the Character Contests, but the very first contest in 2k2 was
essentially his picking with the recommendations of afew CE members
(should memory serve me right)...and, since then, we've had three
summer contests and a contest based on villains that were based on
nominations. We've only had two game contests -- one being a bracket --
and both having controversial means of nominations. We also all agree
that going strictly by either the Game Contest or the Top 100 List is
inaccurate and unreliable...
...not that I agree with doing it (I don't), but I'll play devil's advocate for a second: could we have a better -- or at least more unpredictable -- bracket in the Game Contest if we let CJay control the entire set-up like he did in 2k2 once before that division of contests gets as predictable as the Character Contests? And, if so, would it be worth giving up your say-so in trying to get your particular favorites in/as a better seed?

I think considerably less than Final Fantasy VII for sure. I think OoT
strength lies in being a favorite of many people, but not the
favorite of many people. There are too many popular Nintendo games
around for it to consistently land as the top dog on a large amount of
lists. 15% would be the most I would expect.

I'll agree with therealmnm to a degree:

About 12.5% more of GameFAQs has played LoZ:OoT than FF7, and it's been released on two different systems. However, it's rare you'll find on any site where 41+% of a site's population has beaten a game twice or more (three times, myself)...and that's just hard to compete with.

HaRR, if you're looking for the wild unpredictability and crazy matches
of SC2k2 I don't think it's possible anymore unless Ceej goes out of
his way to make the bracket poorly. He know what's popular on this site
as well as we do, so he'd be able to select games and seed about as
well as we would.
For instance, in 2k2 who thought Crono would be a huge favorite on this site? But now that we know, nobody would understimate Crono or Chrono Trigger.

That's somewhat true AKJ, but there's still some things that we don't
know, he doesn't know, and some trends we've seen. For example, say he
made the bracket and he did it by era again (which would piss most/all
of us off, but anyways)...and RE4 was given the #1 seed in the
128-Division while SSBM took #2. Sure, we wouldn't take RE4 over SSBM,
but given how high it placed on the Top 100 List before its PS2 post
was released (#14) and its dominance in the GotY polls this year, how
many other games would you dare to take over it?
We had shoddy seeding in the Game Contest too despite knowing the nomination-technique was, well...bad (Halo/Starcraft, anybody?), but you can still find games that can argue for that high seed, and you can't honestly say it was easy to pick against Halo in that match.

As long as it's not a 1/16-match again, yes...and even then, most
likely. I don't see rallying and hype going Starcraft's way being NEAR
as strong as the first time, and the more evenly-seeded it'll be the
less likely I see such a monstrous movement. Give me that, and I'll
take Halo.
Oh yeah, and Halo 2 is out now, though that arguably didn't help out MC last year.....

By the way, somebody should make the next CS&D topic; I shouldn't make two in a row.
Also, though I don't think Ulti's on, should he see this, is there any way we can get the Four-Pack Of Fun board on the links in the first post? I think it could make for a nice addition.

I can't believe I never thought of making the bracket that way! Nice thinking.
Potentially good Round 1 matches:
(4) Xenogears
(5) Doom
(3) Super Metroid
(6) Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
(4) Half-Life 2
(5) Devil May Cry
(4) Pokemon Red - this match kinda parallels Xenogears/Doom.
(5) Earthbound
(3) Diablo II
(6) The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
(4) The Legend of Zelda
(5) Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
(3) Super Mario Brothers
(6) Chrono Cross
(2) Resident Evil 4
(7) Soul Calibur
(4) Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
(5) World of Warcraft
(3) Super Mario World
(6) Final Fantasy IX
(2) Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
(7) Final Fantasy IV
(3) Final Fantasy Tactics
(6) The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask
A bit on the easy side, but not bad.
Good Round 2 setups:
Super Metroid/MGS2 vs. KH/Half-Life: CS (darn good 4-pack here)
MGS vs. Half-Life 2
FF8 vs. Halo
Zelda:WW vs. FFX
MGS3 vs. Mario 64
FFT/Zelda:MM vs. GTA:SA
SMB3 vs. RE4/Soul Calibur
Goldeneye vs. SMRPG
FF6 vs. Starcraft
Good Round 3 setups:
MGS/Half-Life 2 vs. FF8/Halo
SSBM vs. GTA:SA
One good match for this round, really.
Good Round 4 setups:
SMB3 vs. Zelda: LttP
SSBM vs. CT
Rounds 5 and 6 are obvious.

Heh...I don't know if there's enough games in every era to do this, but
is there anybody who would make an S-curve bracket like that based on
era like the Game Contest was? Quickly skimming for just five seconds,
I already see that SMB/LoZ would be set-up in the 8-bit Division.

I made a bracket using the top 64 games once but never posted it, and
My Immortal ran a quick little contest doing it as well. (LTTP won,
like it always does)
personally, I think a better bracket could be made, especially considering the drop down list bias. nominations really are the best way to go.
as for that 2k3 list, I thought Dante's predictions were interesting. Kefka and a couple others get the casuals, but Dante may be even worse. remember Vincent's prediction percentage?

to add to the bracket idea, I think it'd be a boring bracket thanks to
the Super Seven. the 1 seeds would pretty much walk to the final four.
