GameFAQs Contests

Speaking of Dark Link, it think it would be rather logical to believe that he would beat Zack, as Zack is somewhat analogous. Of course, Zack isn't a threat to the Noble Nine, so this isn't saying Dark Link would be incredible or anything.

Goomba would be good. I think his ceiling would be slightly above DK, and a floor around...mmmm... a bit below Wario. I think the generic Koopa would do better than Goomba, though. Epona might do pretty good; her floor would be Tingle, for sure.

And that reminds me... it was interesting how Zack exceeded expectations in his first appearance while Cid disappointed. I think Cid was the first FF7 character, aside from Midgar Zolom, to actually disappoint in their first appearance in a contest. I think it was partly due to the low vote totals, though. The FF7 crew pretty much probably all were weakened (maybe not ALL, though... if so, please show me some matches that may disprove this!). For that matter, I think Link was hurt by the low totals, as well (and that he just SFFed Sonic and Mario; at least... I THINK Sonic; I hope Sonic's not THAT bad now!). Speaking of Link/Mario SFF, it's interesting how much it's varied between various polls involving both of them... delving into that is another topic for another day.

You know what I think would be cool? If we had a contest, split up by continent or region, in addition to the traditional worldwide-voting version. The only downside would be predicting the bracket... Perhaps SBAllen could set up for each region to be predicted, without any prizes awarded for those. Of course, the way the polls would work... either the site would have to register your IP address in order to determine what characters are the later rounds, OR the regional poll would only show up if you're actually logged in. Is it feasible in terms of technology, privacy, and convenience?

"Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?"
"Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think."

I feel confortable about taking Zack over Dark Link, but at the same time the match could be close. The only reason Cid disappointed was because everyone was calling for Mega Man to be weak. Overall he performed rather decently.

As for Goomba, it really depends on if people will joke vote him. If not I see him being ranked lower than Wario by a lot.

Congrats to Dr. Football for winning the Guru.

By a lot? I couldn't see Wario beating anyone with any sort of name recognition by a large margin. The dude's a fat sack of crap. Nobody cares about him.

"Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?"
"I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!"

A Link to the Past - LttP beat FF6 handily to the point that I think it can still take on FFX
Final Fantasy X

Super Smash Bros. Melee - CT lost to Mario 64 narrowly...but I think Mario 64 would squeak a victory over SSBM at best.
Chrono Trigger

Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow - a gut feeling that maybe RBY has gained some ground on SSBB over the past year. If it was during last contest I'd hesitantly take SSBB.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Super Mario 64...nah, I'm not thinking Mario World beats CT. Not yet. Zelda:LttP evidently would have its hands full against CT still.
Super Mario World

SSBM > LttP - oh, geez.... I'd be rooting for LttP, not because I like it more, but just because I like seeing old-school pull off victories.
RBY > Mario 64 - RBY/SSBB winner beats the other, I'm sure.

RBY > SSBM - if the previous results occur, the final is obvious.

"Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?"
"Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think."

So, let's take a stats topic poll. Which game do you take to be our #3?

I've become swayed to the idea of a Games Contest without FFVII and OOT in the main bracket, because for the first time since 2002, we probably won't have a single favorite here with more than 50% support.
---
Dr. Football was not stopped by any of us, and won the Guru Contest.

I'd favor either RBY or Brawl/Melee for our #3 around here. Not sure who I'd end up pulling the trigger on come bracket time though.
---

Pretty sure RBY and Brawl would be the massive favourites with Melee and LttP also getting notable support.
---

Congrats to Dr. Football for winning the Guru.

1v1, I assume? After what Zard/Rat/Missingno did last contest, I'd feel somewhat comfortable taking RBY out of something more than hoping, LttP and Melee/Brawl would make me worry, and who knows what would happen with Mario 3/World/64, plus I'd be really worried about Mario 1 if it had a path to avoid everything else Mario.

...man, did I just name 8 semi-reasonable winners? That's almost as many as there have been in every character battle since I've been here.
---

Dan Gilbert owns.

I couldn't see Mario 1 be a serious contender to win the whole thing. Make a deep run, sure, if it can avoid a major Nintendo title other than LoZ, but that's it.
---
"The great GF...Bahamut."
"...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..."

I'd pick LttP to win for sure, but I think RBY is probably the better choice.
---
Mustache...and Red...

RBY and LTTP are the frontrunners to me, and I'd probably go with RBY.
---
Dr. Football was not stopped by any of us, and won the Guru Contest.

Eh, I don't really see LTTP as a front-runner, personally. I don't think it was impressive enough in the Games Contest for that. It struggled to beat Mario 64 and Final Fantasy X (Yeah, you could discount those matches because of all the ridiculous LFF involved, but it's worth mentioning), and I don't think either of those games would be serious contenders to win a FFVII-less, OoT-less contest.
---
"But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside."
"I am lightning...the rain transformed."

LTTP did as well on FFVII with 2 other Nintendo games in the poll as FFX did on OOT with Brawl (and MGS4, if you think that hurts FFX) in the poll. Granted, that looks less impressive after OOT cleanly beat FFVII, but it's still pretty good.

Smash looked very strong in the years between the 2 games contests, but Melee was rather unimpressive (both relative to my expecations and what it needed for 3rd place) last contest. Brawl beat my expecations and ended up looking about equal with Melee. Both of them had unclear enough results and strong enough past pedigree that I'd consider them in the running for #3 though.
---
Dr. Football was not stopped by any of us, and won the Guru Contest.

Hmm.....LTTP got 34.57% on FFVII in the FFVII vs. Nintendo match, and 36.61% in the match with Mario 64 and FFVI. If the Mario 64/FFVI match was really fair as we presumed, then the triple SFF in the FFVII vs. Nintendo match really didn't have a big impact at all- just 2%. But FFVII went from 40% to 44%, against opponents that were probably stronger individually:

LTTP = LTTP
Mario 64 > SMW
FFVI << SMB3

That's about as nice as you can be to the LTTP/Mario 64/FFVI group, and it still leaves them weaker than the LTTP/SMW/SMB3 group. Judging by that, and FFVII's rise, LTTP should have fallen more than 2% from turning a fair match into a triple LFF match. That is, it suggests that the FFVII/LTTP/SM64/FFVI match wasn't really a fair match, and Mario 64 hurt LTTP worse than FFVI hurt FFVII, which makes a lot of sense given that SM64 got way more votes than FFVI did.

.....But SM64 did slightly worse in the FFVII/SM64/CT/Goldeneye match than in the next round, meaning that if the round 4 match favored Team Square, the round 3 match favored Team Square also. That implies bad things about Chrono Trigger, and it explains why CT gained on SM64 when we replaced SOTN and Yoshi's Island with FFVII and Goldeneye very well. But it makes CT look weaker, which I don't like.

Darn it, but that's probably the most reasonable explanation. CT's really around the 46-47% area on SM64 and LTTP instead of 48-49%, and LTTP/SM64 are probably closer to the 38% area on FFVII (= 36% on OOT) than what they got.
---
Dr. Football was not stopped by any of us, and won the Guru Contest.

RBY's my likely pick. I might go with SM64 out of favoritism, but I don't want to bet against RBY after the **** it pulled in BGE2. Heck, MGS could argue itself as a top-ten game in a field where #3-#15 are super-close, and GS put up a surprising 47% on it before RBY got something like 53% on MGS despite LoZ:OoT in the match. RBY's characters have fared well in recent contests, too. Charizard beat Bowser and got 46% on Mario, Pikachu pulled two of the biggest upsets since 2007, a glitch broke the Noble Nine this year and beat Yoshi with no/minimal rallying...

...just saying, it's Nintendo and an RPG, and the revolution from 1998 has clearly shaped our demographic today. I wouldn't want to bet against it, especially when we're seeing that games like HG/SS and Black/White are still getting rather big GameFAQs-hype.

I don't know whether Brawl has aged well enough to still be a huge #3 contender like it was last year.

But I'll still pick it to win no matter what. That is, unless Smash Bros 4 comes out before the next Games Contest, then I'll pick that to win.
---
Not Wylvane

Yeah, MGS is quite underrated. It got 35.11% against OOT with RBY and FFVIII in the poll, compared with FFX's 34.59% in a similar match (with Brawl and MGS4). Assuming RBY didn't SFF GS, MGS is worth 44.87% on RBY and 33.11% on OOT using OOT/RBY R3. Any SFF between RBY and GS or OOT and RBY makes MGS look even stronger.

"Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!"
"Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!"

You can't rule SSBB out, but RBY did considerably better against LoZ:OoT in both of its matches than any other Nintendo-game ever has. After the way SSBM and SSBB both folded to LoZ:OoT (as well as SM64 and LoZ:LttP), I don't want to bet against RBY. I know SFF-matches and four-ways aren't exactly the most reliable...but it's LoZ:OoT and the comparisons aren't close. In fact, let me make the chart again:

NINTENDO GAMES AGAINST LOZ:OOT:
RBY (R3) - 36.9%
RBY (R4, with SSBM) - 33.84%
SSBB (R5) - 29.98%
Goldeneye (R3, 2004 and actually Rare) - 26.95%
SSBM (R4, with RBY) - 26.25%
SM64 - (R2, 2004) - 23.74%
LoZ:LttP (R6, championship) - 22.67%

Just saying, those are some elite games pit against LoZ:OoT and RBY's the only game that didn't get doubled by it. RBY's worst comparison still beats any other Nintendo game's comparison here by over 55% if you take these values at face-value, too (though you shouldn't). Ignoring LoZ:OoT, RBY beat SSBM by 58.96% in Round Four last year too...I'm all about SSBB beating SSBM (with room to spare, probably), but that's a steep hill for SSBB to climb if that comparison remains relevant.


That's all relying on SFF and four-ways, however, so be wary of those numbers...****ing four-ways. Pokemon looked damn fine one-on-one this year though, SFF or not.....
---

SFF? OoT = Link, Brawl = Mario, Snake = RBY.

I'm too drunk to make a good point, so I'll let that comparison stand for why Brawl could still be #3. Of course, who knows who'd win between Mario and Snake. We still ****ing need that god damn match, dudes.
---
Not Wylvane

You're talking to somebody who'd take Snake to beat Mario!

And yeah, I get that point; I already mentioned I might take SM64 out of favoritism, and it did much worse in 2004 than SSBB last year. You can't hold "didn't get SFF'd by LoZ:OoT" as a negative against it though, especially when pitting RBY against a lesser Nintendo-game...nor do we know LoZ:OoT didn't SFF RBY. We've seen Pokemon characters hold up well against Mario-icons, granted, but characters =/= games and LoZ:OoT is a much bigger threat than Mario himself.
---

I think Snake and RBY have been flat out more impressive than Mario and SSBM/B, but both matches would be fun. Gotta wipe out the SFF excuse and cement Snake's status as our #3.
---
Dr. Football was not stopped by any of us, and won the Guru Contest.

I do think the #3 is either RBY or Brawl. I don't think other games like LttP, FFX, SM64, or Melee come close to those two. It'd definitely be one hell of a match.

Much similar case for Mario vs Snake. Yeah, Mario vs Cloud could be arguable after how close Samus came to Cloud, but really, Snake could still beat Mario and be the true #3 on the site rather than... Screw it, I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore.
---
Not Wylvane

For the record, I'd predict Mario > Snake and Brawl > RBY. The former out of pure fanboyism, the latter because I'm that stubborn.

But those would both be the matches for their respective contests. Still feel cheated we didn't get a third-place match between Mario and Snake.

"That's crazy. I could never do something like that."
"It's not a question of can or can't. There are some things in life you just do."

To be fair, the only ones who would actually be interesting to watch are Seifer and maybe Locke, though he probably wouldn't even be at Terra's level and wouldn't benefit from Dissidia as much.

Everyone else would be weak, besides Red XIII who's just redundant.

Morrigan probably isn't getting as much support because I don't have a big rally for her this year like I did last year.

The "rally" was just me posting a bunch of pictures of her in various sexual positions, but eh, it worked.

I wish Bacon would allow Sheik into the contest. She would be the strongest non-Noble Niner, mark my words!

Dr. Football was not stopped by any of us, and won the Guru Contest.

Sheik isn't allowed? Why?

It used to be we couldn't allow X in the character battles for similar reasons, yet here we are.

I've been wondering... why is this board so hell bent on getting Archer in from FSN, while ignoring Rin and Saber, who are by far more popular characters in general? Now that I've played FSN and talked to people online about it, Archer seems to behind those two in most popularity polls and such.

I think a few people were loud Archer supporters so other FSN fans on the board just followed, better to be united on one character then split on three. After that it went by world of mouth. I bet over half the current supporters haven't even played FSN and are only supporting him because other board members are.

I enjoy greatly that Epona's a #1-seed there and currently outdoing Dark Link (no offense Ulti)...but I think I enjoy even more than the Great Deku Tree somehow has enough nominations to make it into the contest. That's funny.

It's the same reason we can't nominate the infinitely awesome Mr. L.

RustyMrSaturn is a horrible user.

I'm not sure why people want to nominate Archer again after he did so awful in the vote-in last time.

We didn't forget about this poll, did we?

"Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!"
"Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!"

People seemed to forget Yoshimitsu pretty quickly though.

Well, I think they remember wasting their NRT nominations on him last year. Archer had a separate rally after the fact, so...

Yeah, I was big behind Yoshimitsu having potential until he got wasted away in his vote-in. Then again, Archer barely did better in a poll Frog won than Yoshimitsu did in a poll Missingno won.

Not that there's any question about who would win in a battle between them.....

I know using vote-in polls as an indication of strength is wrong, but the only new character that made it there, but not the contest that I would like to see is Jigglypuff.

Maybe Morrigan and Bayonetta, but they'll most likely be past their prime. Everyone else is weak fodder or is probably much, much weaker now that their game has come and gone.
