Brawl/Melee
is THE Final, we all know that. I think they should have been kept
apart but of course you need a FF game in the final otherwise you
wouldn't be able to gain pleasure from FFX fanboys crying about being
beaten by a party fighter. --- http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l271/Mithos_2006/mithos.png |

tbh
i dont' even have FFX beating RE4. It's a major upset pick but i just
feel RE4 can shine in a 1v1where it doesn't have TP leeching the ****
out of it. of course FFX would win but you never know. --- http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l271/Mithos_2006/mithos.png |

From: charmander6000 | #126 And where exactly are you getting this "psychology lesson" from exactly...? I recall reading some random internet factoid many years ago about online polls being skewed towards the bottom option because of it being nearer the 'submit' button. Not that I buy that whatsoever, but the supposed logic is just as sound. Again, the dat top option thing is a mildly funny meme, not meant by anyone using it to be taken with any actual seriousness. From: HaRRicH | #127 And there goes that 'evidence' anyway. I actually remember that poll now that you describe this. From: charmander6000 | #128 I don't quite get why you feel this way, since AA would probably get 80/20'd by Batman the character indirectly. AA is not even a midcarder, Batman would embarrass midcarders like Dante or whoever (even Wolverine would school Dante, and Wolverine is no Batman), easily be Noble Nine level, and a very likely Mario+ level threat. I don't see Mario/Snake beating Batman, although I wouldn't count them out completely. From: Lord_Yggdrassil | #130 It wouldn't beat Twilight Princess. Don't think it would beat MGS1 either. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

If
a Batman game can look good that means people may actually like the
character for the game. I see it being more likely for fictional
characters being allowed should their games perform well. No point in
letting Batman or Vader in if people don't care about the games and
vote for them because they like their comics or movies. --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls GotD Bracket: 56/64 Today's Matches: Fallout 3 & Batman AA |

you did a character battle that wasn't originally from a VG batman
would be up there top 5 easily. they would beat most of the fodder game
characters though will still be weak. Others include Vader, Goku and

From: junk_funk | #257 I reckon we should have a mini bracket with non-original characters and the winner gets to be in the offical character contest. That way it would reduce joke entires...like Jesus or random Bleach/Naruto characters. --- http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l271/Mithos_2006/mithos.png |

Eh,
I'm happy enough with the path FO3 was given... HL2/MP will be a good
match, and having a good shot at making the Final Four is about all I
could ask for. And seeing how it performs against Melee/Brawl will be a
good barometer of its strength since we'll know exactly where those
games stand once this contest is over --- http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/170/ikamusume0516.gif |

From: 695924 | #197 Who's alt is this guy? Also his sig shows pretty clearly he's simply trolling and doesn't believe anything he says. From: Kamekguy | #222 Wait. If Bowser is 3rd-tier Mario, who's 2nd tier Mario? From: PartOfYourWorld | #239 Not sure about this logic...I'm picking UC2 in the Oracle but with little confidence. I never had any confidence in UC2 even pre-contest, I only picked it to go to the division finals because I thought the bottom half of the division blew chunks, and I must admit I was probably influenced by groupthink (though I was like "I can't believe I taking this game to the division finals, what am I thinking" the whole time). Now I think I'd take even Sunshine to easily break 53+% on UC2. From: charmander6000 | #256 I don't think people really care too much about AA though, it's competition is just weaksauce. AA doesn't represent Batman very well at all. I mean, it's pretty respectable for a licensed game, but it's still a licensed game. From: junk_funk | #257 Haha, well I myself would take Batman in my bracket to win the whole thing (although I think him vs. Link is very very debatable and I wouldn't be surprised if Link 55/45d him easily), but yeah - Batman ain't breaking 60%. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

ok
it won't beat TP...but i would have liked to have seen FO3 compete with
another strong non-western developed game. So far FO3 is the strongest
Western game in this contest but it's also gonna go up against a lot of
western made games. Replace Fallout for MGS3 and it would have been a
good bracket to prove itself. --- http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l271/Mithos_2006/zeldaages32.png http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l271/Mithos_2006/Zeldaseaons7.png |

From: Lord_Yggdrassil | #258 Not much question that either Batman or Vader would be the strongest non-original "starred in a video game" character. Probably Batman. No one else is really in contention for the #1 spot there. I wonder just how huge the difference between suit Vader and Phantom Menace Anakin would be. Would that put Solid **** and ZSS to shame? Goku probably wouldn't be all that strong. High midcarder. Not an elite. I don't understand why people constantly overrate him so much when discussing these things. I guess he'd probably be a Halo/Gears of War/World of Warcraft type when it came to brackets. Jesus might have a decent board vote due to joke votes. But of course he'd be Madden NFL/No Mercy-level turbofodder. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

charmander6000 | Posted 11/21/2010 10:19:30 AM | message detail Well of course not since a random choice isn't really being made, a lot of people that don't know either option don't vote which is why we see lower vote totals in those matches while others vote for other reasons such as name or picture. However those polls don't really count since people aren't given a random choice. Take a look at the Best Console Ever poll on April Fools with all the options being Xbox, the top one wins. creativename | Posted 11/21/2010 10:45:06 AM | message detail I couldn't find it but really, one poll like that means nothing. For all we know it could be some interaction with item length and longer named items would tend to weigh things towards the bottom option if all options were the same, or something. Trying to draw *anything* from a poll like this is overreaching to incredible degrees. The top option thing is a meme, it's a complete joke and there is nothing to it whatsoever. Beyond nothing. charmander6000 | Posted 11/21/2010 10:49:37 AM | message detail Again it's an early psychology lesson that when given a random choice people tend to take the first option. Of course like I've said it doesn't apply to this contest since people aren't put in a random choice position and for the fact that a lot of people just don't vote. Besides that Xbox poll, there is also this poll too: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3680 The top option barely beats the bottom option, but I don't think using that poll is fair because one option takes up almost 95% of the votes. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |

I
don't think so a lot of people think fictional character and character
mean the same thing. It's very rare that some refers a real person as a
character. Plus it's pretty obvious that the site means fictional
character if Jesus is up against a videogame character. --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls GotD Bracket: 56/64 Today's Matches: Fallout 3 & Batman AA |

From: -LusterSoldier- | #270 That poll has been done multiple times and the bottom option average is trivially higher. I already posted them a few pages back. From: transience | #271 I didn't mean in terms of game quality, I meant in terms of contest strength. It isn't a particularly strong game at all, and I'd be very surprised if the Smash games didn't triple it with ease. Most licensed games are joke strength level though so it's pretty strong compared to them. From: red sox 777 | #278 Not sure if you're being serious here.

I
think the percentage of Christians on the site is substantial. My most
recent Board 8 poll had it around 30%, whereas the poll someone held a
couple years back had Christian at 42%. Yoblazer's polls show a
majority of Board 8 believes in some sort of God. I'd imagine the
percentage of Christians for Gamefaqs as a whole is higher than for
Board 8, so yes, I think Jesus would be very strong in a contest,
unless it were implied that it was for fictional characters only. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

Of
course theres a top option factor. Top option has a higher seed (for
the first round at least), and people who don't know about either game
will generally select higher seed for their bracket, and then bracket
vote. It makes total sense, I don't see how people can deny it. The
only question is how big of a % is it. --- http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/170/ikamusume0516.gif |

Oh,
well, that's somewhat different. There should be a bracket-voting
factor, and the seeds should influence the brackets, but among people
who didn't make brackets there should be no meaningful top option
factor. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

Match LXVII: (3) Uncharted 2 vs. (11) Street Fighter IV Last Round Uncharted 2 – 57.40% The Legend of Dragoon – 42.60% Sonic Adventure 2 – 49.25% Street Fighter IV – 50.75% Analysis As the match came closer more and more people were starting to hype it, but I don’t see much reason for an upset to happen. A lot of the same reasons of why Uncharted 2 is weak can be applied to Street Fighter IV from 2009 games not looking that great to GameFAQs not exactly liking the genre that the game is in. People should stop using the GotY poll as proof for Uncharted 2’s victory, especially when we’ve seen Modern Warfare 2 go from 80% to 57% on Dissidia between polls. Uncharted 2 does have more reason to drop since then because the game was still very fresh in the minds of voters. Also Street Fighter IV was released earlier in the year plus Super Street Fighter IV has been released since which can give the game a slight boost. People should also stop comparing Street Fighter IV to the one that barely defeated Persona 4. I doubt most people would take Persona 4 in a rematch, especially with Super Street Fighter IV being released. With that said barely defeating Sonic Adventure 2 should not inspire anyone that the game has strength. Even if it is thought to be the strongest Dreamcast game given what the other games have done Sonic Adventure 2 can still be quite weak. Uncharted 2 didn’t exactly impress last round, but given that we saw The Legend of Dragoon in the vote-in a lot of us were expecting this kind of performance. Losing to Street Fighter IV would be pretty embarrassing to Uncharted 2 and while I don’t think the upset will happen I won’t be surprised if the game ended up choking. charmander6000’s Bracket: Uncharted 2 > Sonic Adventure 2 charmander6000’s Prediction: Uncharted 2 wins, 57.36% - 42.64% --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls GotD Bracket: 56/64 Today's Matches: Fallout 3 & Batman AA |

Okay. Clue me in. Why would Super Street Fighter IV make any difference whatsoever? It's basically the same game anyway, right? Personally, I see it this way : Would you expect SFIV to get 57%+ or more on LoD? I don't. I'd wager it would go at 52-53% if not outright losing the match. So obviously, I'm going with Uncharted 2. --- "You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life." ~ Winston Churchill |
