GameFAQs Contests

I could buy Half-Life 2 or Prime > Portal, but something's just wrong with RE4 > Fallout 3.

So, FFX is the favorite at this point, but what if FFX goes 50/50 with Majora's Mask and barely wins? Would you still consider the favorite?

OR, if Majora's Mask wins tomorrow, who would you take between Brawl and Majora's Mask?

Excuse me, something's wrong with Fallout 3 > RE4.

"Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think."

Woah. This result is preeeetty bad.

FFX or MM could definitely do better than this.

Come to think of it, maybe Fallout 3 -could- defeat Resident Evil 4 if RE4 could only obtain 55% on Portal. Of course, that would apparently (then again, lol x-stats) mean GTA3 is much stronger than GTA:VC or GTA:SA....even Halo would be much stronger than GTA: I'm just throwing out ideas. Chances are Fallout 3 ends up above RE4 in the stats. These x-stats will probably be even worse than the character battle earlier this year...

The crazy thing about today is that Brawl is not rising in percentage with the day vote so far. Can it even hit 54%?

Just watch Brawl still win in two days.... for an analogy, we saw Cloud struggle with Samus and Snake only to make a respectable match with Link last contest.

Is this what we really believe? Brawl is probably still the favorite, but I'm guessing most people think it's more of a toss-up at this point. How exciting!

Good contest.

No, every man's goal in life is to spread his seed as many times as possible. - A statement Realo actually believes

I like how every post that gives MM a chance is followed by a violent pro-FFX backlash.

My updated victory odds:

SSBB 2:1
FFX 2:1
MM 2:1

How fun!

Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest.

I knew the rest of the world would bring brawl's percentage down (mainly Europe) , but I am surprised its only barely managing a 55% in the us. This could still go up a lot I guess.

Certainly not saying Fallout 3 > Brawl, but this is why I think it will at least push 46%. I am sure you all already discussed this - what was the average percentages that people are expecting fallout to get on Brawl?

http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/drupal/node/22?matchnum=3501&num=4


Also, why does Fallout getting 35% on Brawl translate into 46%?

Doubt it will maintain 46- likely it will fall and never come back this hour - but glad to see I wasn't too far off. Still confident it can maintain 44% though.
---
psn: aarrowgant

A likely story!

What do you make of this match, anyway? Brawl probably gets back over 55% by the end, but even 55-45 is really bad.

Beastly performance by Fallout 3. If MM wins this contest I am going to shoot myself since it was my initial gut pick. It would still be a better result than Brawl winning though.

That it's getting anti-voted significantly. Brawl should be at least chilling in the high 50s here, and it probably would be if this was an early match. Nothing from the first two divisions suggests F3 would be legitimately this strong. Heck, assume this ends at a 55/45 and then run the stats for RE5. I think it would be pretty close to 40% on Brawl. Resident Evil 5.

What does Brawl need on FFX for RE5 > RE4? >_>

Has stopped playing irl for this format!

Also, apparently RE5 comes out to a little over 36% on Brawl, actually. About 40% on Fallout 3.

No crazy RE5=RE4 in the stats

Well, unless Brawl does better on FFX than FO3, of course!

Even 55 would be a nice gain at this rate. F3 has been holding the same percentage for nearly six hours. Brawl isn't even at 56% in North America.

Hey guys... here's a question:

How do I make my last battle pick? I mean, you can't make your pick until the battlers are announced, and they're announced as soon as the previous match is over, but you also can't make your picks in the middle of the match, so WTF?

Fallout 3 is still fighting hard. It's 1 PM, we're already at the height of the day vote here if we're following weekend patterns. We'll probably have a diluted ASV today, so Brawl will go up after 3, but 56% is looking really difficult for it right now.

It's possible that SBAllen made a mistake and you can't choose a game for the final match.

Once again, Brawl is expected to get 54% on Fallout 3 after 2008. Now you might say this makes Metroid Prime look too strong but... Does it really? Could you not entertain the notion of Metroid Prime being one of the stronger games here? It definitely earned its 1 seed. I think all this shows us is that the bracket is closer together in terms of strength than we first thought.

That's true, Bacon could force everyone to bank on the final match which could prevent whatever bugs that may arise after the final match is over.

But we'll just have to see during the next match.

Fallout 3 screwing up the stats is the perfect way to end this contest.

I asked him about the final match and he said he has something planned for it, but didn't tell me what he had planned for it.

I just hope it's not something stupid like giving a one-day delay for people to make their picks. I don't want to track a match on Chrismas Eve if it ends up being very close.

Even though it ended up looking like maybe the entire division was crap by the time everything was finished, the
West Division provided some incredible matches. Check it out:

Closest wire-to-wire matches

1. Shadow of the Colossus > Metal Gear Solid 2 2010, lead maxed at 188

Closest wire-to-wire matches where the loser was never able to take the lead

Matches where the loser was never able to take the lead past the first hour

1. Metal Gear Solid 3 > Shadow of the Colossus 2010, lead maxed at 515

Metal Gear Solid series vs. Shadow of the Colossus, rewriting records for intensely fought matches.

Damn, Brawl isn't making a dent in this day vote. It'll need a great ASV just to hit 55% at this point. If either of tonight's competitors manage a solid win (53%+), it really will be a toss up. I'm getting pretty pumped; haven't felt this way about a final in some time.

2007 is too different to count imo.

I'd say that Samus/Snake 2K6 final was debatable. That was after the Series Contest, right?

Oh yeah, of course. I think most people still leaned toward FFVII going into that final. Even if we thought OoT would take the 1v1, we didn't think it could SFF LttP badly enough to win the contest.

You can't really take anything from this match. FO3 being this close to Brawl makes no sense considering the game defeated Melee and TP. I don't think it's anti-votes either, sure some people hate the game, but that's a vocal minority.
