GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1002
and also... would Little Mac vs Mike Tyson be "legal"... |
 
 |
Whoops, wrong topic. I don't remember the last time I've done that. I think I may have never done that before. I'd be disappointed if I were in BT's shoes, yeah. This contest feels......gimmicky. --- 90s games > 00s games |
I don't know if Tyson counts. The nominations database lists Little Mac/Mr. Sandman instead, unfortunately. --- Support Seifer Almasy (Final Fantasy VIII) for Character Battle IX! http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/9342/banner3seifer.jpg |
Little Mac vs Matt! We need this settled! --- If you are reading this signature, then you are wasting a great deal of your time. |
LeonhartFour posted... I don't know if Tyson counts. The nominations database lists Little Mac/Mr. Sandman instead, unfortunately. I would imagine that Tyson counts, because of this: "Fictionalized representations of historical characters (Nobunaga from the Onimusha series) are acceptable" Historical, but I'd imagine Tyson still counts under that definition. --- http://media.animevice.com/uploads/0/4479/467785-one_piece_we_go_super.jpg http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
I
think the "Fictionalized representations" part is pretty vague and
needs some clarification. I'm still not sure Tyson fits under that
definition. --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |
Tyson seems like exactly what that would be targeted at. --- 90s games > 00s games |
I'm just saying Bacon doesn't seem to agree. Because who the heck is nominating Sandman over Tyson? --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |
Because who the heck is nominating Sandman over Tyson? Glass Joe. --- If you are reading this signature, then you are wasting a great deal of your time. |
I nominated Little Mac/Sandman entirely because it's what Bacon seems to be going with. Otherwise, it would have been Tyson! --- peace comes from within |
Because who the heck is nominating Sandman over Tyson? People who don't think Tyson counts wouldn't nominate Tyson. It might be a large enough factor to keep Tyson out. --- Pokemon VGC2011 NW Regional - Top 8 Pokemon VGC2011 US Nationals - 54th place |
Like, maybe it's okay. But Bacon's idea of "Fictionalized representations" seems to be more than "Hey it's a real life person in a video game." --- http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/8718/leonflowchart.png |
What
a stupid contest idea, and what a joke nomination system. Characters
should be able to appear in more than one rivalry. Mario/Luigi is
completely different to Mario/Bowser for example. --- Tofa7 - LoZ-LoD | Hardcore "Thank you, thank you, no applause necessary, just send money..." |
so
i try to nominate the kid and the guy from IWBTG. system suggests i
actually mean sonic and knuckles. as if i'd ever nominate knuckles for
anything, well maybe if allen ever ran a worst character ever contest --- Jon Thomson - HKP: 179, 180's: 2, top kill: 152 gg Black Turtle |

Do you really want like 5 or 6 different Links in the contest? --- http://media.animevice.com/uploads/0/4479/467785-one_piece_we_go_super.jpg http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
I just realized something. The obvious bonus match after the contest is having the two characters face each other 1v1. We get to watch Link 80/20 Ganondorf again yessssssssssssssssss --- Wylvane Guru Contest Winner Black Turtle is a wonderful user. |
From: FateStayAlbion | #415 Link vs Toon Link Do it. --- Wylvane Guru Contest Winner Black Turtle is a wonderful user. |
Or better yet, try to find a way to justify Link vs Tingle. We could have Tingle win a contest. --- Wylvane Guru Contest Winner Black Turtle is a wonderful user. |
From: -Tofa7- | #413 Yeah, I know we all want to see Link/Ganondorf vs. Link/Dark Link in the finals. It's not fair. --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |
Link/Dark Link. Why hasn't this been brought up yet? |
Fierce Deity Link/Majora's Mask --- Bah... forget it, i'm not creative enough to think of a clever sig, I'll just write this. |
Has the database updated yet? --- If you are reading this signature, then you are wasting a great deal of your time. |
Not since last night --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls Congratulations to Black Turtle for winning the guru contest. |
Instead of Chell vs GlaDos, we should try and push for Chell vs Wheatley I know GlaDos is more known but those who played Portal 2 have to agree that Wheatley is way more cool than Glados... |
Yeah, I know we all want to see Link/Ganondorf vs. Link/Dark Link in the finals. It's not fair. This would actually be a really interesting matchup. And the more I think about it, the more I think Cloud/Sephiroth beats Link/Ganon, and it's probably not too close. --- 90s games > 00s games |
Alright I couldn't resist I nominated Dante vs Vergil and Sol Badguy vs Ky Kiske I'm wondering if I should trade my 12 non guru locked nominations for the one of them, and if so which one. Does Dante vs Vergil need the help? Is Sol vs Ky a lost cause? --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Has the database updated yet? Nope. It's not going to get updated until at least next Monday. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
I would imagine Dante is popular enough on his own that Dante/Vergil will get in. --- http://i.imgur.com/fe05x.png |
Yeah I guess so Went with Sol vs Ky --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

I'm not sure about this.... If OoT > FFVII... Then OoT + LttP + majora's mask + TP + skyward sword + .... > FFVII I understand Sephi > Ganon and Cloud + Sephi > Link + Ganon... but I still take Link/Ganon in a 24 hour mach... |
COOL A new contest means it's time to post in here again. Thoughts on an elite 8 for this contest? --- "whats a matter afried i might boobs punch you" - ertyu |
6049 nominations after 24 hours so far. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
-LusterSoldier- posted... 6049 nominations after 24 hours so far. Didn't you say it was like 4000 at 10 PM EST yesterday? Its really going slow.. --- http://media.animevice.com/uploads/0/4479/467785-one_piece_we_go_super.jpg http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
Well, most of the people who have been actively waiting for a contest to be announced have already nominated. Bacon needs to make the link on the front page more noticeable. --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |
Didn't you say it was like 4000 at 10 PM EST yesterday? Its really going slow.. I said this last night: -LusterSoldier- | Posted 9/23/2011 10:46:13 PM | message detail | quote For the GOTD nominations, it took 6 hours, 35 minutes to reach 5000 nominations. Today, we currently have 4022 nominations after 6 hours, 35 minutes. We're about 1000 nominations behind pace this time around, but I would expect that because site traffic is even lower since last year. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
No
word about the format, right? Given that it's even later in the year
than the last contest announcement and that it's a pretty experimental
contest, I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes a 1-month thing. If we
stick with the 4way format, we can fit 64 entrants/128 different
characters in a month. |
4way tag teams? That sounds like a winner --- http://media.animevice.com/uploads/0/4479/467785-one_piece_we_go_super.jpg http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
What
kind of newcomers can we expect from this contest? I know we won't
exactly get the most accurate reads on them, but this ought to provide
us with some new insight anyway. --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg Nominate E P O N A. |

So who's the most popular character to get snubbed? Auron? Who would his rival even be? Lady Yunalesca? --- "Ahem! There is *sand* on my *boot*!"--Kefka Black Turtle beat me, Yesmar in the Fall 2010 Guru Contest! |

If we stick with the 4way format, we can fit 64 entrants/128 different characters in a month. No word yet. I'm guessing we will most likely have 64 rivalries (128 characters), but 32 rivalries (64 characters) is the second most likely option. It is very unlikely we will have 128 rivalries (256 characters). --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
From: LOLContests | #440 Yunalesca would be the closest thing. There's a chance Crono could get snubbed if Frog gets paired up with Magus instead because Crono/Lavos isn't very appealing as a rivalry. We'll see. --- http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2011/8/22/2094c2de-bae8-4f5b-9f27-67eaff0aaeaf.jpg |
But if I understand the rules correctly, we could have both (crono/lavos and Frog/Magnus) in the same bracket. Am I right? |
We can, but it just depends on how CT fans nominate. I'm sure CT fans would rather have Magus as a rival instead of Lavos. But Crono's the most popular CT character so we might end up with Crono/Magus anyway and Frog will get shafted. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |
Ugh what a terrible contest. And this is the contest I have to waste my Guru nom on.... --- http://i49.tinypic.com/2ry672r.jpg |
Yeah, I feel bad for you. --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |

was just looking for apartments in Toronto (just got offered a job
there last week, starting in 2 weeks) and thought I'd check in since I
haven't been on the board in a couple of weeks. --- http://i49.tinypic.com/2ry672r.jpg |
X/Zero is my nomination. I guess I'll just have to win this Guru also so I can nominate in the next REAL contest. --- http://i49.tinypic.com/2ry672r.jpg |
