From: TRE Public Account | #296 Yep. At least a few Dead Rising supporters lost faith enough to back TWEWY in the Oracle/Battle. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

...And then Braid, a downloadable game, as well as Mega Man 9, gets owned by Persona 4. Wait... so this means Persona 4 > Demon's Souls? --- "I remember a time when someone called World of Warcraft 'World of WoW'" |

Mother 3 > Braid no one would have picked this. I think a bunch of people would have sided with Mother 3 on that match. Braid was expected to be really weak. Likely weak enough that some people would risk taking Mother 3. --- Dr_Football punted my bracket across the field. Congrats to Dr_Football for winning the Character Battle 8 Guru Contest! |

From: NoDicePwn | #301 Oh man, that's gonna be awesome. Plants vs. Zombies should be legitimately weaker than Braid, relying entirely on its funny name and pic. That alone might be enough to outperform Braid, though. --- Yoblazer: http://8board.webs.com/ariel.jpg Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

Wait... so this means Persona 4 > Demon's Souls? I would have taken that without hesitation before the contest. --- http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/11/500x_vegasdude.jpg |

You can't compare Mega Man 9 to Braid. It's Mega Man, doesn't matter where it comes from. --- :> |

Also,
Plants vs. Zombies should be stronger than Braid. I think it's a bit
more well known. It was well known enough for Blizzard to include a
mini-game based on it in WoW: Cataclysm. --- :> |

Anything with "Mega Man" in the name beats Braid. --- :> |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 11/10/2010 9:51:46 AM | message detail |
Braid
was actually a semi-relevant game to hardcore gamers (GameFAQs voters).
I think it would beat out all the other indie DLC games; it would crush
stuff like Bejeweled and Farmville. It should also take PvZ, but that
one has a more appealing picture and name, which once again, might be
enough. --- Yoblazer: http://8board.webs.com/ariel.jpg Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |
Advokaiser | Posted 11/10/2010 9:54:34 AM | message detail |
you wouldn't? Now that I think about it, yes... absolutely. BUT... Would you take Mega Man 64 to beat Demon's Souls considering that it's stronger than Dead Rising? --- "I remember a time when someone called World of Warcraft 'World of WoW'" |
NoDicePwn | Posted 11/10/2010 9:55:30 AM | message detail |
Incase
people don't know about Plants vs. Zombies, its just another game from
PopCap, like Bejeweled and Peggle... and frankly, a game not even as
popular as those. Its picture might get some joke votes, but I'm
thinking it may be an 80-20 effort there. --- http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/11/500x_vegasdude.jpg |
Big Bob | Posted 11/10/2010 9:57:09 AM | message detail |
Uh,
PvZ would crush Bejeweled and Peggle. It strikes that right balance
between casual and hardcore that makes it appealing to both. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/Mach+Tornado.png |

PvZ would crush Bejeweled and Peggle. It strikes that right balance
between casual and hardcore that makes it appealing to both. No, Puzzle Quest does. Which would own all of them, and saddened me it didn't make the contest :( I could have joked around about the character Lord Albion in it! --- http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/11/500x_vegasdude.jpg |

I'd take PvZ to beat Puzzle Quest easily, actually. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/Mach+Tornado.png |

You'd take some casual bait puzzle game over an RPG on Gamefaqs? If you say so. I never would, though! --- http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/11/500x_vegasdude.jpg |

Now I wish I nominated Puzzle Quest. I did nominate Peggle, though. Peggle > PvZ. --- Wylvane CommodoreTN is a horrible user. |

Skies
of Arcadia vs BG2. This is could be a close one, right? I mean, I know
PC RPG's are lol but on the other hand, Skies is Dreamcast and
Gamecube. Makes me kind of uneasy... --- "I do read sometimes." Mat Cauthon, The Wheel of Time. http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=177506 |

Persona
4 doing about as expected here. Next round should be pretty good. If
only we hadn't replaced TWEWY with SFIV last time, we'd have a decent
point of comparison! --- http://img.imgcake.com/leonpngpe.png http://img.imgcake.com/squalloweenpngem.png |

It really made a killing in that last hour, too. --- http://i43.tinypic.com/dgwh0.gif http://www.majhost.com/gallery/atukam/OHWD/snownd.gif |

Spoilers: Dead Rising wins. P4 might be stronger than it, but it being a day match is going to hose it so badly. --- DFF |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 11/10/2010 10:47:05 AM | message detail |
Dead
Rising should be the favorite imo. It had some pretty big time shifts
last night (6.5%), and I'd imagine TWEWY is a better day game than
Persona. P4 will be fighting an uphill battle in a day match. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |
KamikazePotato | Posted 11/10/2010 10:48:17 AM | message detail |
Persona's day vote is abysmal. P3 went from getting 55% hours on Civ IV to losing hours once the sun rose. --- DFF |
LeonhartFour | Posted 11/10/2010 10:48:28 AM | message detail |
Dead
Rising is probably the favorite, but if P4 is stronger than TWEWY by a
decent bit, it can still win this. A day match is disadvantage, sure,
but yeah, it can still win. --- Support Otacon (Metal Gear Solid) for Character Battle IX! http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/1950/banner4otacon.jpg |
transience | Posted 11/10/2010 10:49:26 AM | message detail |
no
way is DR a favourite. P4 should be stronger than TWEWY. the only way
it realistically loses is if the day vote kills it (and it very well
could) --- xyzzy |
KamikazePotato | Posted 11/10/2010 10:50:12 AM | message detail |
I doubt the P3/P4/TWEWY trio have any significant strength differences, really. --- DFF |
pjbasis | Posted 11/10/2010 10:50:55 AM | message detail |
Hmmm, I guess I always considered P4 to be heads above TWEWY. If Dead Rising won being only that close...I just don't feel like it'll pull the win. |
NoDicePwn | Posted 11/10/2010 10:50:59 AM | message detail |
I
right now, P4 is a slight favorite. Persona 4 would do the ol Ulti
Style Blowout on TWEWY, in my opinion. But the fact its a day match
still scares me though. Persona could have a 53% lead going into the
ASV and I won't feel any kind of confident. --- http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/11/500x_vegasdude.jpg |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 11/10/2010 10:52:04 AM | message detail |
I'll
once again defer to the RPG fans, but I haven't seen any polls that
give a good indication of P4 being stronger than tweeey (honestly, ****
that game's title and **** its acronym. So ****ing sick of writing that
****). --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/ml36gl_th.gif Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

If P4 loses the ASV to Braid (and I don't expect Braid to have a good ASV), I would probably put P4 in the same tier of games that have FFVII/CT level ASVs. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |
NoDicePwn | Posted 11/10/2010 11:03:57 AM | message detail |
I
would be pretty surprised to see Braid do anything more with the ASV
than Persona does. But hey, I've been wrong with quite a few trends
lately, so maybe Braid will go and be an ASV beast! --- http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/11/500x_vegasdude.jpg |

Isn't P4 supposed to be stronger than P3? Also, P4 could beat TWEETY... er... TWEWY with at least a 56% margin... not sure about Dead Rising though... --- "I remember a time when someone called World of Warcraft 'World of WoW'" |

From: NoDicePwn | #344 Yeah Albion I think you might want to just avoid talking about trends for a few weeks. Either that, or deliberately talk about trends happening in the reverse of what you want to happen. That seems to work. --- http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae229/yungflyerz/67106910.jpg |

They even made fun of Albion's trend stuff on the podcast <_< I deserve it for the GTA match. That was more that I was trying to keep hope that GTA would still win and convincing myself it wouldn't die in the ASV than anything. I still think last nights trends were weird though. Square RPGs typically have killer night votes, so that one not going in my favor wasn't as bad as the GTA match. --- http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/11/500x_vegasdude.jpg |
