GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1039
is that what we call coming back with a vengeance I count a 40-vote gain --- http://img.imgcake.com/RegaroUlquiorrapngse.png |
 |
I'm starting to wonder how much the lack of bracket voting is helping Red/Blue. EDIT: And by extension, how much it will hurt Mario/Bowser. --- Surskit .-#Elements of Water#-. |
Aeroblast! --- "Yeah. You damn well better listen to me. I am the authority on raging about stupid things." ~SmartMuffin |
Anyone else notice that Cloud/Seph's vote count is at 1997. Lolz. How fitting. |
From: Surskit | #202 If people bracket voted Mario last round they did for Link as well. |
A couple of updates ago Pokemon was at 2007, the year when it really started surprising us in contests. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Rivalry Rumble: 117/160 Today: Cloud/Sephiroth |
Any
clue why there are so many brackets clustered at 136 points? That
requires missing a certain combination of matches (I flubbed with
Conker/Poo and Ramza/Delita in round 1, Chell in Round 2, and the Ninjas
in 3) and it just seems odd that so many people would wind up in the
exact same spot. --- SubDeity wants to vote for Calvin Coolidge. [Evil Republican] Play Der Langrisser. |
Bracket stats are still glitchy right now. You might have to refresh it several times to see the updated stats. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
Probably the guy with ~130 alt accounts that was on the leaderboard for a bit has 136 points. --- This is my signature. |
Do the contest stat counts outside of the top 50 count alts in their counts, or no? --- Will not remove this line of my signature until the Seahawks, Jazz or Rockies win a title (Started 5-16-09) This line reserved for the Guru winner (TBD) |
Didn't think Link/Ganondorf would have such a low prediction percent. Also new in the Top 10. Top 10 Hardest Matches to Predict 1. Alucard/Dracula vs. Frog/Magus – Round 3 – 17.25% 2.

Eh, not so surprising. Cloud/Seph was a pretty solid pick logically. --- "oh my god oh my god a spider just crawled INTO MY KEYBOARD" -pxlated "It just wants some web access." - Ness26 |
From: XIII_rocks | Posted: 12/19/2011 1:01:46 AM | #212 But hasn't history taught us that Link always wins even when he has no logical reason to win?(I'M LOOKING AT YOU MAJORA'S MASK) --- Khali Speak: http://www.rot13.com/ |
Compared
to past contests, that's a very high prediction percentage for Link.
Usually Link's prediction percentage is around 30-40% for the final
match. Since this was a semifinal, there is a possible chance that
Link's prediction percentage could still fall into the 30-40% range. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
[00:07:24] Regaro: This match [00:07:26] Regaro: Is bollocks --- http://img.imgcake.com/RegaroUlquiorrapngse.png |
My god. Cloud is done. Sephiroth is even more done. Sephiroth would probably lose to Samus now. This is a joke. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v712/ExTha/10and14.jpg "I was wrong." - SmartMuffin |
From: _Regaro_ | #215 --- http://www.celebrityclubber.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Sort_of_want.jpg |
It's
sad how far the only guys that could beat Link have fallen. They've
only fallen below more Nintendo, which have 0% chance of topping Link. CONSPIRACYYYYY --- :> |
Trainers
have lost 3% since the freeze. We may indeed see a Cloud/Falcon-esque
swing here, especially considering we have 24 hours. --- http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/2369/mythbattlers.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png |
Sephiroth was in trouble against Samus long before this result! --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/597oi.png |
From: XIII_rocks | #217 Well yeah that too but nothing about it makes any sort of sense to me. --- http://img.imgcake.com/RegaroUlquiorrapngse.png |
From: LeonhartFour | #219 lost 3% but more important is the vote difference which has only gone up It'll hit 1000 by 1:30 EST probably (what the hell am I thinking 1200) --- http://img.imgcake.com/RegaroUlquiorrapngse.png |
It
makes me happy to see Pokemon so powerful. I remember the painful days
of Pikachu struggling with PaRappa and losing to Fox McCloud. --- "Yeah. You damn well better listen to me. I am the authority on raging about stupid things." ~SmartMuffin |
Following Red/Ocelot or Missingno/Seph trends, Trainers probably win easily. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
I'm pretty sure Pokemon has already been powerful before this; this is all FF7 being weak. --- :> |
Come on trainers get to 1000 votes. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Rivalry Rumble: 117/160 Today: Cloud/Sephiroth |
swirIdude posted... It makes me happy to see Pokemon so powerful. I remember the painful days of Pikachu struggling with PaRappa and losing to Fox McCloud. Yeah, and Crono + Mega Man were at least as strong as Mario. People had much better taste back then. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. Black Turtle > Me |
This
match is going nearly even with yesterday's match in the votals so far,
but it should fall behind yesterday's match soon because this one is on
a weekday. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
The
only good thing taste wise that has happened from the first contest is
Snake has gotten stronger. Everything else is about Nintendo getting
stronger and everyone else not being able to win matches. Very ho hum type of contest here really, just reinforces the Nintendo dominance around here. I freely admit I voted for Link this contest, several times, but still. --- :> |
ok maybe I was a bit ambitious in thinking 1000 lead by 1:30 But this is looking damn good for the trainers. --- http://img.imgcake.com/RegaroUlquiorrapngse.png |
Also is Trainers > Mario possible in the X-Stats if this result holds and Link wins tomorrow?> --- http://img.imgcake.com/RegaroUlquiorrapngse.png |
From: _Regaro_ | #231 Considering Mario already beat the Trainers? Well, if you want to completely neglect that result and use this one instead, sure. --- http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/2369/mythbattlers.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png |
From: _Regaro_ | #231 You don't know how X-Stats work. --- Ngirl is a toll bridge - Wigs Gotta pay if you want to come inside! - Ngirl |
Also is Trainers > Mario possible in the X-Stats if this result holds and Link wins tomorrow?> Nope unadjusted stats will not use this match and adjusted stats will just place Mario above trainers based on this match. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Rivalry Rumble: 117/160 Today: Cloud/Sephiroth |
From: Achromatic | #233 No I really don't. From: LeonhartFour | #232 I am running entirely off this and From: paulg235 | #001 This, using Link as the strongest character and just taking them both relative to him. --- http://img.imgcake.com/RegaroUlquiorrapngse.png |
From: ExThaNemesis | #216 He could have easily lost to her two years ago. She put up almost as good a fight on Cloud as Snake did. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
yet another tiny cut --- thelefty for analysis crew 2008 imo -tranny I have a third degree burn in flame-o-nomics -Sir Chris |
From: charmander6000 | #234 Oh, that's disappointing. Because goddamn that would've been fun to see. On the other hand, so would the hypothetical Trainers outscoring Link on Cloud, but that's not happening --- http://img.imgcake.com/RegaroUlquiorrapngse.png |
It is possible to have a chain of matches which would put Red/Blue over Mario if Red/Blue and Link/Ganondorf win by enough. --- Pokemon VGC2011 US Nationals - 54th place Pokemon VGC2012 NW Regional - 16th place |
Mario SFFs Link so badly that Trainers > Link/Gdorf --- Starcraft is my life, so without it I wouldn't exist. - Artosis |
Well,
this is the first time we've had a third-place match, but I'm not
planning on favoring an indirect result over a direct result in my
personal stats unless there's some reason to disregard the direct match. --- http://www.miscupload.com/upload/452457071929141623517416.gif |
From: JJH777 | #240 Leon's preliminary X-Stats based off the first five minutes of this match actually had that <_< --- http://img.imgcake.com/RegaroUlquiorrapngse.png |
http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/rivals_battle_entry_final.html The form is online. Looks like we can't decide what range we can use for the 10% and 5% options. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
that's pretty disappointing, honestly --- thelefty for analysis crew 2008 imo -tranny I have a third degree burn in flame-o-nomics -Sir Chris |
Since I have no chance at winning I just bet enough points to defeat SBAllen should he get the 1% correct. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Rivalry Rumble: 117/160 Today: Cloud/Sephiroth |
But remember, the second tiebreaker is earliest submission time! --- "Yeah. You damn well better listen to me. I am the authority on raging about stupid things." ~SmartMuffin |
800 votes huh this is looking good enough for me to go to sleep --- http://img.imgcake.com/RegaroUlquiorrapngse.png |
Suddenly Snake looks like ass. |
Hey Regaro, I think you were a bit optimistic about where the trainers would be at 1:30! --- Gamefaqs' #1 Testicle Bettor: Proud owner of many testes http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/6553/alec.png |
Yeah
I think this is the death knell for me caring about these contests ever
again. Barring the chance to get Zack Ryder in, I'm done. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v712/ExTha/10and14.jpg "I was wrong." - SmartMuffin |
