GameFAQs Contests

It doesn't. At all. Making a prediction based off of an inane theory, and that prediction working for you does not mean that your theory makes any sense. Random variation explains this perfectly.

Augh. That just means Diablo II's day vote will be that much worse, and the relative comeback will be exactly the same.

That's what I was thinking. Don't think the presence of two other day vote games helps Diablo. Its day vote still sucks.

it's too bad about the potential KH/FF10 LFF - we could have ranked most of division 128 here.

what would it be, SSBM > FFX > KH > Diablo 2 > MGS2 > Halo > KOTOR > Vice City > Prime?

Moltar Status: complete global saturation
Match 44 - Bracket: SSBM > Halo - Vote: SSBM (147/216)

Augh. That just means Diablo II's day vote will be that much worse, and the relative comeback will be exactly the same.

Diablo's lead will also be bigger because of the lack of competition during the night. When three games are splitting that ASV, they'll all make up ground, but Diablo will still laugh it off.

I want someone to explain to me how SSBM is a better game than Halo or Diablo 2. I dont mine it winning, but like this.

Not necessarily. I argued that Melee could easily drain Halo of some of its casual/multiplayer fanbase. This is GameFAQs, a hardcore gaming site. I'm sure these two games have a ton of overlap.

*checks update*

...although I didn't expect it to be this bad.

Eh, I'd give MGS2 the benefit of the doubt over Diablo, and put WW after KH. Where do you put StarCraft?

And Halo fell into last place a lot sooner than I expected.

You're right. Halo was getting hurt by KoToR, but the random variation was so big in this match that it's actually making Diablo 2 do better despite the absence of KotOR

Do you realize how stupid that sounds

I'm telling ya, Melee draining Halo is far from an insane idea. These are both very casual and multiplayer-centric. It makes sense that they'd have a lot of overlap, and it's obvious which one GameFAQs prefers.

Not as stupid as an Xbox game leeching a PC game and allowing another Xbox game to look stronger.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3488&region=US

Oh wow, Kingdom Hearts beat FFX outright in the U.S. just like Sora beat Squall outright in the U.S. both times last year. It's seeing how much more popular KH is in the U.S. compared to everywhere else (when FF is usually weaker in the U.S. compared to the overall total) that makes me wonder just how much it overlaps with FF.

1 person didn't score any points and managed to stay on the Top 50. K1lr0y had neither FF10 nor KH advancing yesterday.

Only 1 person on the Top 50 scored full points. Current first place Mirrorzzz correctly predicted FF10 > KH as yesterday's winners.

Shall I take you with me? To the place in this town where wishes come true...

Can we cut the dumb LFF stuff? Halo's looking bad. This is not surprising, Halo's looked bad all contest. It's not due to some silly KotOR or Melee LFF, really now.

http://backloggery.com/rpguy96

Hah, Halo is losing to an SFFed Wind Waker. God that's humiliating.

And so much for the Halo and Knights LFF. I thought that was overblown because they're completely different genres, but I thought it was possible that it existed maybe to some minor extent. Nope.

Hail FastFalcon, our new guru overlord!

KoToR gets just as much as as playership from the PC as an Xbox, and they're both the same genre. It's not that stupid. I don't agree, I think KoToR had no notable effect on any game. But still, don't put those 2 statements on the same level

It might end up getting its butt completely kicked at this rate. I'd like to look for more than just random variation to explain it if that ends up being the case, especially since we just removed the only other Xbox option for ol' Chief.

Huh? I never did. I argued AGAINST KoTOR having an effect on Halo, not FOR it having an effect on Diablo 2

Yeah I thought that maybe if anything Knights had more overlap with Diablo because of the PC WRPG thing, not that I thought it was significant though. But I don't think anyone else thought that way, it was all Xbox LFF talk.

Doesn't look like there was much LFF at all either way though, which isn't really surprising.
