Once again, 100 votes in 40 minutes. Trainers are getting some stalls in, but overall they aren't slowing the rate of cutting.
#353 | transcience | Posted 12/19/2011 5:28:11 AM | message detail
these x-stats are garbage and we won't see this contest again, but from a purely academic standpoint I'd say adjusting Link/Mario through Cloud/Red makes perfect sense. there's nothing unusual about today's result and it's not a match likely to be determined by SFF.

yeah, this match has been pretty obvious ever since Red stopped making gains. Cloud will rock this time period and then stall the day at the very worst. Cloud probably wins by over 1000 votes.

The raw x-stats (unadjusted) won't be based off of this match. The adjusted x-stats should be based off of this match, because there will be SFF in Link/Mario, so using this match for the adjustment makes sense because there probably wasn't any SFF in Mario/Trainers. And even if there was SFF in that match, it was very minimal at best.

Just take a look at Sora, it's a FF type character designed to appeal to children. The games are made for children too because all they have to do is mash X.

Pokemon probably because it was a kids phenomenon back in the late 90's...except now more adults play it because their saddos.


Good statistical analysis of voting demographics here.

I am pleasantly surprised the Trainers kept the lead for so long. This just goes to show you XFD dead franchise.

No new game in over a decade, and the latest entry into their franchise destroyed their fanbase. The SE vote is basically dead now.

SE vote is not dead. FF13 was a pretty mediocre game. You can't build a fanbase around games people hate. IF a Zelda game turned out to be "average" then the fnbase would destroy it. Look at Other M. Can easily happen to Zelda too(DS games though they aren't bad just noone cares about them)

The last 2 FF games are poor on this site. 13 and 12...in fact make that the last 3 games(X-2) included. If 12, 13 were highly received games( 12 was critically but not by maj. of fans) and immensely popular like VII and X....then the Square vote would be a lot stronger.

Add into the fact that this site is not HEavily JRPG driven anymore like it use to be.

There's a simple answer to that, it's just an opinion. Everyone loved San Andreas, right? Critiques..fans...general random people. I HATED it. Found GTA 4 even worse. My favorite series was pokemon, than GTA a few years back, I hate the GTA series now. Though even I wonder why people didn't like XIII. I loved it. I think it was the best since VIII.

Are you serious? i enjoyed FF13 but the game was a mess.

It was stupidly Linear for the first 15 Hours, it gave limitations to the player, the story progression was also quite boring. The game didn't have any real content apart from the mission during the last 2 chapters. No towns, no break of pace and a story that only really made sense if you read datalogs. Characters were also stale...no true villain and pretty lame dialogue. Little to absolute not variety in gameplay. Upgrading systems were pretty basic and no real depth. collecting components early on was a waste too.

Even if you enjoyed it, you can't say a game like that is flawless, it's misguided and inconsistent. They changed the direction half way through and focused too much on graphics.

The best thing about 13 was the battle system and even then it wasn't perfect. It's not even close to being a good JRPG let alone a great FF game. No matter how much i enjoyed 13, i can always sympathize with people who give it so much hate.

you're right. IT is fun to play, got 1000/1000. But if you objectively analyse it the first half of the storyline should have been structured a lot better. FF13 is actually a really really good game after Chapter 10.

Story-wise, pre-chapter 10 is alright

It's when it hits chapter 10 that the story completely falls apart

So if Trainers win, does that screw up the Noble Nine?

I know it's not 1v1, but it's basically Ash versus two Noble Niners.

I wouldn't say so. This team has probably gained a lot from the rivalry factor. Red is actually a a very weak character, just barely managed to beat Revolver. The noble nine is safe.

NO we've been through thismany times. This contest has no bearing on N9 or 1v1's. IT's a crap contest that should be forgotten and erased from existence.

Yeah i should have said just game. By storyline i meant the actual story progression....but FF13 has 0 sidequsts during the first 10 chapters so it was a bit misleading.

I didn't say it hadn't problems.But let me speak.Linear story?That is good because if focused on characters and story more.About the story?They are going against EVERYONE!What more you want?For side quest?Yeah I know only missions and that is.But still I liked the linear story.Towns?Well who cares?I mean in all towns in JRPG's you just go there to buy stuff and maybe take some quests.That is.They tried something different and everyone hates.Man!Also Trainers do better in Asia than Link!

There's no cohesion between the worlds...you're going from one area to the next constantly. Pulse is the only area in the game that identifies itself. You don't ever feel you're in the world of FF13 and just following a long line of battles.

I honestly have no problem with FF13 and JRPG's having linear Stories, but i'm talking purely gameplay Design. It was a too linear. The whole sequence of the first 10 chapters was go through a straight line and constantly fight. There's being Linear and then there's FF13. It brings a whole new meaning to the word Linear.

Who cares if it "Matters"? Its still a close match between two big names. Its not like 1st round matches between two characters who will lose 2nd round matter, but people like to keep up with those close matches.
