GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 996
Terra
later redeemed Darth Revan to some extent by her next performance
against Squall. Dissidia looked to have helped her/Kefka/Cecil, and
it's probably the reason Jecht got into a contest too. We just didn't
expect that effect at the time. --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg Nominate E P O N A. |
Darth Revan was fine, then again I wasn't expecting him to be much stronger than HK-47. --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls Congratulations to Black Turtle for winning the guru contest. |

While
I'm waiting for the next poll, people were recently asking about how
GLaDOS would fare now. I still don't want to say much about a specific
boost-size or any spoilers...but if she was ever held back by a lack of
recognition in the pics, that should no longer be an issue. You see her
in the opening menu, loading screens, early in the game, and more after
that...plus she's easier to distinguish now. Even if she gets that
picture (shhh), at least it's something players saw a lot of...though I
don't think she'll get that in a pic anytime too soon, either. For comparison: Portal 1: http://media.moddb.com/images/downloads/1/31/30071/glados.jpg Portal 2: http://images.wikia.com/half-life/en/images/e/e5/Glados_meet_again_talk.jpg (spoiler-free) Throw in that she's well-liked once again, and it'll be fun to see where she goes. --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg Nominate E P O N A. |
http://www.g4tv.com/deathmatch/best-franchises-2011/results/ Starcraft vs. Zelda ends tomorrow morning, but the winner apparently won't be announced until 6:30 PM on X-Play. Hopefully we'll get percentages. --- Black turtle beat me, o noes! |
I
don't see any way Starcraft loses. In addition to the usual rallying,
the match even got advertised on air during the GSL this time, causing
the g4tv site to crash at the time. --- Black Turtle and Zelda always win! |
I
hate to encourage anybody to watch X-Play, but the show will be on in
roughly fifteen minutes if somebody feels inclined to post its results
here. --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg Nominate E P O N A. |
Let's go Zelda. Win it for the silent majority. --- 90s games > 00s games |
I'm assuming Zelda won. |
So I'm guessing Link won? --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls Congratulations to Black Turtle for winning the guru contest. |
Well, looks like Zelda won based on the comments on this page: http://www.g4tv.com/deathmatch/best-franchises-2011/battle/94/legend-of-zelda-vs-starcraft/ The percentages for the match haven't been revealed yet. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
Hail to the king. The silent majority prevails again. --- 90s games > 00s games |
Awesome. Always good to see Zelda win. --- BlAcK TuRtLe crushed my bracket and it didn't even take three days. Congrats to BlAcK TuRtLe for winning the GotD Guru Contest! |
AxemPink | Posted 4/25/2011 7:34:11 PM | message detail | quote http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g3/CzarMagus/map.png Those electoral vote numbers for each state are weird. California barely has more electoral votes than New York. Sounds like that map might have been based off of the 1960 or 1970 Census when California had surpassed New York in population. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
1970 Census, yes. --- 90s games > 00s games |
Even
stranger, it's the exact same map as the Nixon/McGovern election except
that Ninja Gaiden picked up 1 electoral vote in Virginia somehow. --- 90s games > 00s games |

Looks like not posting active results is a good counter-rallying measure. Makes sense, because you have no idea how much you even need to win, so it kills incentive a bit when you have no visible goal. --- http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/2369/mythbattlers.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png |
So any word on the percentage yet? --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls Congratulations to Black Turtle for winning the guru contest. |
IGN is revealing the Top 100 Pokemon. http://www.ign.com/top/pokemon The list to far... 81. Latias 82. Infernape 83. Electabuzz 84. Rhydon 85. Deoxys 86. Palkia 87. Meganium 88. Electivire 89. Braviary 90. Rapidash 91. Kadabra 92. Luxray 93. Growlithe 94. Machamp 95. Glaceon 96. Hitmonlee 97. Onix 98. Cubone 99. Gabite 100. Gastly Pretty surprised to see some of these Pokemon so low and based on some of the entries it looks like the top Pokemon won't be dominated by RBY pokemons. --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls Congratulations to Black Turtle for winning the guru contest. |
So
I tried to submit a POTD for "Favorite series that debuted this gaming
gen," but it got rejected as too narrow. Not sure how much broader I
could've made it without turning it into a "What's your favorite
series?" poll! --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |
What options did you list? --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls Congratulations to Black Turtle for winning the guru contest. |
Assassin's Creed Bioshock Mass Effect Dragon Age Professor Layton Valkyria Chronicles Uncharted Gears of War And I even put in the notes at the bottom, "Feel free to substitute these for some other series as you see fit." I mean, if that's not diverse enough, blame Nintendo for not putting out any new series this gen! Well, I guess I could've put "Wii ________" as an option. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |
You forgot Left 4 Dead and Portal! --- Currently Playing - Final Fantasy VI (GBA) Upcoming - Chrono Trigger (DS), Baldur's Gate, StarCraft: Brood War |
Well, there's only room for 8 options on the poll submission screen! --- "Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!" "Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!" |
Nintendogs! >_> --- Black turtle beat me, o noes! |
Did Rock Band debut this gen? Forgot about that one. --- Support Barret Wallace (Final Fantasy VII) for Character Battle IX! http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/3834/banner1barret.jpg |
Wii
__ would probably be a more fitting option than Valkyria Chronicles.
Surprised he didn't take it, though. That'd be a good poll -- better
than calorie counting! --- There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign. |
LeonhartFour posted... Did Rock Band debut this gen? Forgot about that one. Technically its got a PS2 version that came out same time as the others, but first Rock Band was 2007 --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/RyanSaotome |
That'd be a good poll -- better than calorie counting! The poll coming up next will be "Do you watch anime?", which is more interesting than today's poll. The Anime Crew would jump all over that poll. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
Hell yeah, but we're far more elite than those casual viewers that come to GameFAQs. But do you actually know what the next poll is going to be? --- http://www.backloggery.com/whitelens http://myanimelist.net/profile/WhiteLens |
Just checked, it's an anime poll. I guess Pokemon counts. --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls Congratulations to Black Turtle for winning the guru contest. |
http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1914 On that poll, take note of this: See other results for this poll: 2/24/00 4/26/11 Based on that, it means that tomorrow's poll has been inputted into the database already. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
I'll be interested in seeing the Asian vote for this next poll --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/RyanSaotome |
Do movies count as programs? If not, I guess I watch Anime the most. |
I was tempted not to vote because there was no "yes it's literally all I watch and everything else is trash" I was angry and proceeded to punch a hole through my computer monitor thankfully my mom brought a new one down here --- ~Ange "Anime. Pah." - pjbasis |
Do movies count as programs? I guess so, along with TV shows and cartoons. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
Here's the video of x-play announcing the winner, if anyone cares: http://www.g4tv.com/videos/52591/Videogame-Deathmatch-Best-Franchises-Winner-Revealed/ I noticed the only Zelda games they showed clips from are Zelda 1, Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and a bit of Skyward Sword at the end. No percentages revealed. Looking at their previous Videogame Deathmatch final, the percentages don't seem to have been revealed their either. Disappointing. --- Black turtle beat me, o noes! |
No, the did not show clips from the best Zelda game!!! ...whatever. --- Currently Playing - Final Fantasy VI (GBA) Upcoming - Chrono Trigger (DS), Baldur's Gate, StarCraft: Brood War |

4/27/2011 - I don't know. Probably an original poll idea. 4/28/2011 - I don't know. Probably an original poll idea. 4/29/2011 - Do you plan to buy a new console before the end of the year? 4/30/2011 - I don't know. Probably an original poll idea. 5/1/2011 - Which scheduled May release are you most looking forward to? --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
Another IGN Top 100 Pokemon update. http://www.ign.com/top/pokemon 41. Dialga 42. Nidoking 43. Milotic 44. Wartortle 45. Latios 46. Squirtle 47. Vaporeon 48. Pikachu 49. Flygon 50. Blaziken 51. Torterra 52. Bulbasaur 53. Espeon 54. Aerodactyl 55. Raichu 56. Haunter 57. Aggron 58. Hydreigon 59. Empoleon 60. Darkrai In what might be the biggest surprise of all, Pikachu is only 48th on the list. I thought it would be way higher than that, but let's wait for more Pokemon to be revealed so we can see if there any interesting trends in what kinds of Pokemon finished near the top. At least on GameFAQs, Pikachu has a case for being the strongest Pokemon in our contests. Only Charizard or Missingno could really compete with Pikachu in a match. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
Squirtle is 46th, huh? Blastoise hasn't been revealed yet, right? NRT done goofed --- Support Morrigan Aensland (Darkstalkers) for Character Battle IX! http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/9302/banner5morrigan2.jpg |
Bulbasaur not Top 50! /badlist |
46. Squirtle 48. Pikachu 52. Bulbasaur Those three seem off to me. I have a hard time seeing them this low. Wartortle above Squirtle also seems really wierd to me. Perhaps the voters were biased against not fully evolved Pokemon. --- BlAcK TuRtLe crushed my bracket and it didn't even take three days. Congrats to BlAcK TuRtLe for winning the GotD Guru Contest! |
If whoever ends up at #1 hasn't been in a contest, I think we should try to rally him into the next contest. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/RyanSaotome |
Who
are expected to contend for #1 on the Pokemon-list? I figure Charizard
and Mewtwo will get high marks, but I don't know the other generations
enough to think of what else will do well. --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg Nominate E P O N A. |
