From: Lopen | #052 Oh right, I forgot about that. Cloud > Link was what I had. From: KamikazePotato | #051 I may not have a soul, but I still have a bracket! --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |

Sorry, KP, just supporting my bracket as I've never played Deus Ex, and played Rock Band once. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

Guys. I said literally. That makes it undebatable. --- DFF |

Also I just wanna say I think without L-Block there Link > Master Chief was a real possibility. Dude was gettin dat momentum and then the stupid block was like "lol vote for me instead" People would've rallied the Chief if not for him. GAME FUEL the ultimate joke vote. --- No problem!

But
seriously, it is a bit sad that a general gaming forum knows so little
about Deus Ex. I can understand not playing it, but calling one of the
most important PC games of all time cult or not even knowing what it is
just shows how console-orientated GameFAQs is. --- DFF |
Not_Wylvane | Posted 10/20/2010 2:23:33 PM | message detail |
I
played and beat Deus Ex. Despite that, I still voted Rock Band 2 just
because it's an awesome multiplayer game. I enjoyed Deus Ex and don't
mind it winning, though, so either one winning is fine with me. Gotta say that it's funny to already have a surprise win so far. Let me just show you its results in the Odds to Win topic: From: Not_Wylvane | #002 So yeah, maybe this project isn't the most accurate. Or maybe it's that 16% kicking in. Oh well. --- Wylvane NaturalChemical is a horrible user. |

Hey Rock Band 2 is actually are really sweet game, one of my favourites from this worthless generation. I'm sure Deus Ex is also a really good game, it's about time some PC classics not made by Blizzard gets some attention here! --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. Dr_Football > Me |

That's
not bad actually. Things with 1/6 probability happen a lot of the time.
Of course, all those people who voted 95+ (especially the people who
voted 100) look silly. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

Board

games, of which honestly how many are relevant? Why, I'll never forgive
this board for its lack of MYST enthusiasm! --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/ml36gl_th.gif Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

Not_Wylvane | Posted 10/20/2010 2:35:40 PM | message detail |
From: shane15 | #067 It's a tough call. Do you want a guaranteed 600 points or a shot at 2100 points (assuming you bank on Halo 3/Sunshine, which you probably want to do if you have a solid amount of points accumulated). You need big chains to win, but you don't want to blow it all, either. I'd probably risk it and not bank on that match, just because you need large chains to win. Banking at 600 points over and over will not win you the contest. --- Wylvane Anagram is a horrible user. |
Not_Wylvane | Posted 10/20/2010 2:36:59 PM | message detail |
From: PartOfYourWorld | #074 We should get Myst into one of these contests. It'd be like The Sims, except significantly weaker! Seriously, Myst would have the biggest sales-to-contest-strength difference of any game on this site. --- Wylvane Pirateking2000 is a horrible user. |

Don't
you worry Wylvane.The whole crew predicted that Rock Band 2 would win
but you saw how this happened.So we are in the 2nd match of the contest
and we have already a suprise result!Now that is awesome. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |

Over
in the Battle Challenge Technical Analysis topic, we found that the
math seems to encourage long streaks. It's hard to say, but streaks of
15-20 or so are probably what one should be going for to try for
victory. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

From: red sox 777 | #084 15-20?! pretty much every division has a questionable match in it.Gonna take some balls goin on a streak that long. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v303/Shaneh87/Haruhi/Kyonexplanation.jpg |

20 streak?Now you must be either really lucky,really brave or really insane to do that! --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 10/20/2010 2:46:58 PM | message detail |
You can play small ball right now to feel things out, but there's no doubt that someone
is gonna hit a streak of 30+ matches eventually. Calling an incredible
60 in a row will get you nearly 200,000 points, so banking 100-300
seems really really silly at any time. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |
red sox 777 | Posted 10/20/2010 2:48:09 PM | message detail |
Yeah,
but 1 streak of 15 is the worth the same number of points as 20
separate streaks of 3. I think the banking decision depends very much
on how you feel about the upcoming matches. If the next few matches are
obvious, then you have much more to gain by taking a risk (since you
can earn more on them by not banking). If you're doubtful of them, it
may be better to bank. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |
transients | Posted 10/20/2010 2:48:16 PM | message detail |
the
key to the battle challenge, I think, is to get a nice amount of points
in round 1 and then play it safe the rest of the way. if someone goes
on a 15-20 match streak in r1, they'll be set for round 2 because those
matches are a hell of a lot easier after seeing results. --- xyzzy |

SonicRaptor | Posted 10/20/2010 2:49:46 PM | message detail |
At
least now we can write off music games as getting anti-votes more than
anything. Guitar Hero was expected given how over-exposed and Kotick'd
the series has become. Rock Band actually has some support given how
well-liked Harmonix is as a developer and how forward-thinking the RB
series has become. --- Don't tell me what I can't do! - John Locke |

And
as far as streaks go, my longest streak in a (bracket) contest was 30
in 2004. I got 20 in 2005 (before losing that one to Knuckles/Magus),
and unfortunately haven't gone any higher than 11 since then. By the way, if someone manages to bank a streak of 30, they earn 46,500 points for that. If you bank streaks of 6 all contest-long, and never get a match wrong, you get 44,200 points and still lose to that. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |
