This
is my first time checking the poll since last night... and, uh, things
have gotten interesting to say the least! I have to give Fallout some
serious props - LFF or not, its performance is seriously impressive. I'm definitely thinking about going back to FFX > Melee, though. I'm not totally sure about it, but man, Melee's really taken a tumble. --- Watch Fox's RUNNING WILDE, airing Tuesdays at 9:30 EST! Will Arnett and Keri Russell in the same show - how can you top that?!? |

From: TheKoolAidShoto | Posted: 10/17/2010 1:52:32 PM | #247 I think the correct interpretation of my posts and others who have said similar things is: "How on Earth could you infer anything at all?" --- *is Dranze* Dr. Football swept me. |

Also, I don't remember RE4 making any sort of comeback against KHII with the day vote. It stalled at best and still lost the day vote outright both rounds. --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |

Only
reason people thought RE4 has a decent day vote is because people
thought KHII can pull off a 2k comeback like it was nothing. --- BOP Topic: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/56645390 BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls |

I think the main thing you can take from this poll is that this contest is wide open. Nobody's sure who's going to win at all. --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |
ctesjbuvf | Posted 10/17/2010 11:10:47 AM | message detail |
Also remember that the poll asks what game you think will win, not what your favorite is. --- How would a Kirby that has eaten me look like? (Made by KG) http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af128/kirbys_gal11/ctesjbuvf.png |

From: NoDicePwn | #219 Pretty much. There's a reason I'm the only stats topic reg to actually win a contest, and it's because I don't listen to a word of advice from in here. --- "I hope Mike Green and his entire family are killed." -SmartMuffin |

it's more like the guy that invented fantasy baseball. He knows more
about baseball than pretty much everyone, but he never has or will win
a fantasy league because he's unable to look past numbers. --- http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uYCV9lwNaAg/SkTyuhLk_MI/AAAAAAAABj8/jQ09GVBnh8s/s1600/Godhand%20IGN.jpg |

Didn't you take advice from the topic on some matches in your winning bracket, Ulti? --- Crono > Sephiroth. 7 years of waiting, and perhaps many more to go. Remain steadfast. |

From: red sox 777 | #269 Yeah, I listened to Slowflake and picked SF2 > SMRPG. Then I listened to him again next contest and picked DK > Vivi and I haven't listened to the stats topic since. --- Stop calling, I don't wanna think anymore I left my head and my heart on the dance floor |

Which
is why I'm shocked at all the people that think Halo and GTA will flop.
Just because they didn't live up to our expectations doesn't mean
they're fodder either. --- BOP Topic: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/56645390 BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls |
LeonhartFour | Posted 10/17/2010 11:51:49 AM | message detail |
From: charmander6000 | #273 People like to swing from one extreme to the other. Halo and GTA have burned people so many times that they're now at the point where they're like "I will NEVER pick them to win again!" Although admittedly, I'm at that point with Magus and Shadow the Hedgehog. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
LeonhartFour | Posted 10/17/2010 11:52:30 AM | message detail |
Well, it's not because either of those characters has really burned me, but just because they suck. Oh right, Shadow did burn me in 2008. --- http://i43.tinypic.com/dgwh0.gif http://www.majhost.com/gallery/atukam/OHWD/snownd.gif |
KamikazePotato | Posted 10/17/2010 11:58:43 AM | message detail |
Shadow
actually turned out to be better than I would have expected. Didn't he
end up being worth around 37% on Luigi, beating out WCC in the stats? Magus just blows now, nothing to see there. --- DFF |

LeonhartFour | Posted 10/17/2010 11:59:26 AM | message detail |
Shadow's not fodder, no. But I still won't pick him to win a debatable match because he hasn't done it yet. --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |

From: UltimaterializerX | #201 Wait, this makes no sense. If Brawl beats Melee, wouldn't that be even WORSE for FFX? --- http://i49.tinypic.com/2ry672r.jpg |

Not if Brawl > Melee > FFX > Brawl --- Crono > Sephiroth. 7 years of waiting, and perhaps many more to go. Remain steadfast. |

Wait, this makes no sense. If Brawl beats Melee, wouldn't that be even WORSE for FFX? If you believe SSBM failing to beat SSBB is mostly or entirely due to SSBM being weaker than expected, no. --- "Let me believe what you've always believed! That living is wonderful!"

From: UltimaterializerX | #265 Eh,every contest I read what is said here, by heavily lurking, and take a fair amount into consideration (weighted appropriately), but the main thing I try to avoid is sharing my opinions. Only once opinions are in the open, they have become free to be distorted and molded by others. Staying silent helps avoid group think. --- Dr_Football punted me out of the Guru throne. 4th place in Summer Contest 2k4 |
UltimaterializerX | Posted 10/17/2010 12:07:49 PM | message detail |
GTA
and Halo aren't fodder, though the Emerald > GTA4 picks are kind of
funny. No one cared about RSE and GTA4 looked fine last year. Pokemon
in a day match can still win, but there's no reason to be sure of that
one. Ignoring Summer 2002 and Spring 2004 for obvious reasons, every contest has had a match that burns the stats: Summer 2003: Link vs Cloud. Summer 2004: Sora vs Ryu Hayabusa and maybe Mario vs Crono.... Summer 2004 was a bad contest. Spring 2005: All of Diablo's matches. Summer 2005: Mario winning the contest over Samus and Crono, Magus vs Knuckles. Spring 2006: Zelda vs Final Fantasy. Summer 2006: Sonic vs Crono, a ton of Snake's matches, Samus vs Tifa. Fall 2007: L-Block. Fall 2008: Another handful of Snake matches. Fall 2009: Too many to count, though it's not really the fault of stats. Winter 2010: Snake vs Sephiroth, Missingno vs Crono, and the entire Heart division. In this contest especially, cutting cookies ain't gonna win. --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´ http://img.imgcake.com/foolmoron/leontopiclistus.gif |

How do you even get a cookie cutter in this one? I'm not even sure what the cookie is or should be for some of these matches. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |
UltimaterializerX | Posted 10/17/2010 12:09:33 PM | message detail |
For
the record, I like this topic the most and I'm not insulting everyone.
But when you guys collectively work together to all have the same
bracket across all of Board 8 (and I know it's unintended), those
guru-burners happen. --- ¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸ "Music wouldn't be popular if it wasn't good." -Curt |
