It
would haev been good to see some of the handheld Zeldas make this
contest....then people can say "oh look zelda is so weak lollolol" --- http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l271/Mithos_2006/ff13borderlands.png |

So much for Dragon Age being strong. Ouch, F-Zero. So I guess we're back to lol 2009. After Uncharted and Batman looked so bad, it did seem very peculiar that Dragon Age didn't. Unfortunately, seems like F-Zero just sucks. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |

This
percentage could still plummet, but I'm not even sure if Smash could
equal it indirectly. I wouldn't take Morrowind to beat Dragon Age,
that's for darn sure. The Zelda games are just fierce. They've got a massive player base, mad respect voting, and seemingly no anti-voting. They have all the tools to do well in a contest like this. --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/5nw45i.jpg Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

Batman
and Uncharted looked bad? I mean, I don't see them moving past round 3,
but I think they are pretty solid midcarders >_> --- And I certainly do not agree with my words being taken out of context. - Vlado |

We'll
see what Uncharted does against a legit early-decade game. Board 8 has
it favored over the Halos in R3, so it's not like we didn't expect
Uncharted to make it there and do well enough to win. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

From: TheKoolAidShoto | #456 Oh I'm speaking more relatively. You're right, they're middle-of-the-pack, maybe a bit to the lower end it isn't yet clear. But these games were the strongest 2009 had to offer. What a weak year for games. Also this looks pretty good for TP being stronger than FFX. Let's face it, Dragon Age might not be great but Viewtiful Joe isn't getting 44% on it. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |

I
can't wait to see how Bioshock does tomorrow. It will probably give us
more of a clue as to how Portal vs. FFXII will go, since Bioshock was
in the same match as Portal in BGE 2009. Half-Life 2 vs. GTA3 didn't
seem to mean much, aside from that HL2 evidently has not boosted since
last contest. Its performance seemed very normal. Today is making FFXII look pretty good, though, since it's a clear step above Dragon Age. Not that it means much... --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |
Forceful Dragon | Posted 11/27/2010 9:44:49 AM | message detail |
but
it's possible to pass people up simply if they banked more recently
than you since you are making X00 more per match than them. Currently the 3 top ranked people are on a 10 streak. Compared to my 27 streak it means I'm earning 1700 more than them per correct match. And so even if they stay perfect and never bank I will close the gap 1700 more points every match. Over 50 more matches that means I will gain 85,000 points on them. And since I'm only 79,000 points behind the #1 that means simply because they banked somewhat recently if I go perfect then I'll pass him up no matter how well he does. Obvious the people with a longer chain that me I wont be able to touch (if they also stay perfect) and there's like 5~10 of them but I'm guess they will either screw up or bank along the way. --- Eff Dee ~C~ http://img.imgcake.com/dragonoweenpngqy.png |

I
don't know, I don't really see P4/DR as a toss-up in the slightest. I
mean, it wasn't until the dead hours were done and over with before DR
even put in a convincing effort at taking the lead. Though the match
coming up is a day match, i would easily put P4 as stronger than TWEWY. --- PSN - Aevio Playing: Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes |

I'd
be top 50 in the battle contest if Luster didn't exist. Golden Sun,
Portal and Persona are the only things stopping a lot of people to walk
into r3 with an absolute ton of points. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |

yeah,
that's the thing that's kind of annoying me. I don't think I'm ever
going to get high enough to get any prizes or anything, but if i manage
to get in the top 50, it would be nice to actually be on the
leaderboard, instead of being edged out by 200+ Luster alts. --- PSN - Aevio Playing: Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes |

If Zelda has drone voting, why aren't all the Zelda games as strong as Ocarina of Time? There's a difference between bad opinions and mindless voting. I'd say bad opinions are worse! --- ##Alec |

We've
gone over this before, but Zelda has more strength variance than any
other series on this site. Ocarina is the strongest game of all.
Tingle's Rupee Land and Link's Crossbow Training would be terrible
fodder. Between the two extremes, we have everything from contenders to
midcarders to near-fodder. If the Zelda fanbase truly had a hivemind
mentality, we'd see much less variance, and the weaker games would make
the contest as well. We've had at least half a dozen handheld Zeldas
now, and only Link's Awakening has made the contest. Why, I wonder? --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/ml36gl_th.gif Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |
