GameFAQs Contests

Charizard was most likely getting momentum votes against Mario. It's happened before when a Cinderella gets that far; I presume that the same thing would happen here.

"Ahem! There is *sand* on my *boot*!"--Kefka
Dr. Football beat me, Yesmar in the 2010 Guru Contest!

Well, the last option is technically doing the best in areas where Nintendo usually struggles, so it's kinda...weird in that sense.

Sounds about right. The last option had a really good early vote and night vote, then slowly started collapsing once morning came. Trend chart for yesterday's poll:

http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=tkR2V3Pm9Gab0m3OS1GwMhA#gid=1

The virgins were mostly voting at night, because the last option did terrible with the ASV and SNV.

Meanwhile, the "Yes, and we're married" option did terrible in the first 6 hours of the poll, then did really well for the rest of the poll. Mainly, it was doing well in the morning and also near the end of the poll.

"Yes, and we're engaged" had more of an ASV/SNV than a morning vote. It also did bad near the start of the poll.

Stealing a joke from tran here, but the virgin vote started bleeding percentage all over the poll once the Nintendo Power Hour ended.

It did bleed percentage quite a bit since the board vote ended. Near the beginning of the night vote, it was going back up in percentage again. It wasn't until sometime early in the morning that the virgin vote stopping gaining percentage and was bleeding percentage for the rest of the poll.

Probably because all the attached users were too busy banging their significant others while we losers spend our lonely nights at GameFAQs refreshing the "Got console?" polls over and over.

maplejet is a horrible user.

Upcoming polls:

8/4/2010 - I don't know. Probably an original poll idea.
8/5/2010 - What's your all-time favorite Capcom series?
8/6/2010 - What's your all-time favorite Konami series?
8/7/2010 and beyond - I don't know. Probably original poll ideas, or they just haven't been inputted into the database yet.


Time to look forward to some Resident Evil/Mega Man/Metal Gear/Castlevania action soon.

Those Capcom and Konami polls should be interesting. Hopefully the ones you haven't figured out are other company favorite polls.

There is a long stretch of "all-time favorite" polls back in 2007, but I only know of two of them that are being re-run.

I don't see much change in the Konami poll besides maybe some slight order change between the non-MG/Castlevania options.

I am interested in the Capcom one. I expect Street Fighter to go up in stock while RE/MM should be an interesting fight.

Oh good, some actual video game related polls.

"But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside."
"I am lightning...the rain transformed."

Only 1, and it was a free game with extremely easy achievements!

Not that I haven't been trying mind you... Missing 2 ****ing feathers in AC2 and need to beat Alan Wake on Hard to get all those achievements.

Only ones I have all achievements on are the Doritos game (a gimme) and SotN.

Though I came close with a couple of games, like Mass Effect 1 and Fallout 3 if you ignore the DLC.

I think thats all. I would have it in Virtua Fighter 5 if it wasnt for the achievement to complete the tutorials which is near impossible to do without a fighting stick.

Hmm, Mega Man is winning over Resident Evil this time around. But I'll blame Mega Man's good board vote and Resident Evil's bad board vote here. The early morning will not be kind to Mega Man here.

Anyways, I will do a trend chart for today's poll and tomorrow's poll too, since it's related to video games and might be useful in later contests.

I'm surprised you'll actually keep track of a relevant poll.

Also, LOL Devil May Cry

It's surprising how strong Dante is with how weak his series is.

"I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now."

I have mentioned in the past that I do keep track of polls that are related to video games, as long as the trends might be useful later on in discussing future contests.

What are the biggest Capcom games we've had since this last poll? RE5 and SF4 are the two that come to mind, so I'd expect at least Street Fighter to look better, but it has Versus SFF to deal with this time.

Mega Man 9 and 10, obviously.

Mega Man characters in general looked better this past year than they had the last few years, so it almost matches up. We'll see how this finishes though.
---
"I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now."

MM drops almost 1% while RE spikes the same amount.

Ah, there's that typical bad RE board vote again. It's just gained 1.70% since the board vote, while Mega Man dropped 1.49% since then.

You know, looking at this poll, I've realized that nearly every major Capcom series has a horrible day vote.
---
"I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now."

Monster Hunter Tri has done well for the series it looks like.

Also Breath of Fire is still going strong despite not having a game in seven years. Makes you wonder how strong Ryu would be, especially if Capcom ever decides to make another game.

He's a character I've nominated a few times. I think he could be near the fodder line, myself... Breath of Fire isn't that pathetic of a series here, and he's the fact of that entire franchise.

Also, Bacon added a couple more series for this Capcom poll. Do you think he'll add something else for the Konami poll tomorrow?

Has Konami released anything worth adding?
---

Well, I dunno. I was just wondering if there was anything that was omitted from the last one he could add this time, like he did with the Versus series.
---
"I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now."

I can see him adding Pro Evolution/Winning Eleven, since thats one of the top 15 selling franchises ever, and Konamis personal best selling franchise. Other then that, nothing else.

Is there any reason why MGS won't destroy that poll even worse now?

Not really, since that poll was made pre-MGS4, and I don't think any of the other series have had notable releases.

That's what I was gonna post. Finishing at around 5-6% might not seem all that great, but it was under 2% against less competition last time.

Final Fantasy XIII review: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps3/review/R140434.html
You're pretty good, Dr_Football.

So, the NRT has selected its eight newcomers to make the Round Robin. Care to rank 'em? Here's my guess:

Squirtle
Epona
Barret
Otacon
Seifer
Johnny Cage
Lyndis
Dan Hibiki


Also, there are eight returners left, so **** it, let's rank 'em too!

Diablo
Chun-Li
M. Bison
Little Mac
Morrigan Aensland
Toad
Dr. Wily
Dr. Robotnik

It's strange how DMC can be so weak, and yet Dante can go toe to toe with Ryu and beat Leon Kennedy easily despite RE winning this poll easily.

"I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now."

I just noticed something else about the poll...why is Versus doing so bad?

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2790

It's either faltering to so many great series by not having a strong hardcore base, or people have a harder time recognizing it by Versus Series.

Well, the first time I looked at the poll, my mind didn't even immediately register what the Versus series was. If it said "Marvel vs. Capcom" or something, I think it'd be doing a good bit better.

Not strange at all. Dante is the main character in DMC, while there are many who loves Street Fighter and Resident Evil but don't like Ryu or Leon. And this is SFF poll.

Really Leon I expected more from you...
