That Duck cartoon character (I forget his name) winning the Gamespot sidekick battle probably scared Bacon off of the idea.

No one within 5 points of perfect got the match wrong. 955 out of the top 1077 brackets had Link winning the match. -14 (146 points) and better stay above 80. It goes down to -20 (140 points) if you ignore the -15s (145 points) this is probably in the low 70s due to alts.

The 2 people on the Top 50 who backed Mario vs Bowser fell off. StarWolf22 and BilltownRunner should have stuck with Link vs Ganondorf winning the finals.

From: -LusterSoldier- | #1805I already jumped in and started tracking the updates myself, because the updater is only doing the first two. Once in a while, I'll track poll updates on non-contest polls if I see a poll that catches my eye. I usually have a good eye for spotting polls that could have noticeable trends.


Alright then, I'll just delete these and stop tracking.

From: BK_Sheikah00 | #1953
Seems like too many people were too greedy. Most of the people on the leaderboard seem to be straight picks.


Yes this goes back to the game theory discussion we had when the final pick thing was announced.

Whether you should expect too many people to take a risk, and thus play it safe. Looks like that indeed was the right call.

Can someone remind me, prior to the final pick thing, what was the most points for a normal perfect battle score was?

I still haven't gotten over his Jane Eyre example. That was proper 1984-style misrepresentation of the facts.
I had no idea what you were talking about (who the hell is Jane Eyre?) so I googled and got this:

www.gamefaqs.com/boards/11-sballin/60143217

So apparently he doesn't like the idea of fictionals (and actually thinks Darth Sidious would be among the strongest fictionals - Sidious would be very lucky to get 25% on Batman, and Jane Eyre might well threaten to push below the 5% on Batman level). Yet he likes the ideas of Worst Character/Game? Most attractive character? And Best Inanimate object?

Mind. Blown.


I honestly think he just doesn't like the community here and that was a troll attempt. The Jane Eyre thing is too illogical to be anything else and when you combine that with "Link always wins except when he doesn't"...yeah.

It was an official 3rd place match. And it was the match of the contest - the only one people will remember, probably. You definitely need to include it.

It was more of an unofficial 3rd place match which gave SBAllen time to put up the betting for the final match. Heck even the poll number has it after the final match.

Not really, first second and third all had 5%, and the prizes below 3rd weren't worth going for.

Although actually, a Most Attractive Character contest could be unintentionally brilliant as the site decides to crown Link with the title.

Perhaps he was just using Jane Eyre to mock the idea...but then I don't know why he'd include Sidious, who while he wouldn't be among the strongest, wouldn't be fodder.

You still need to include it on your lists. It was the defining match of the contest, the closest match of the contest, the highest vote total match of the contest, the match that excited everyone the most - to exclude it from top whatever lists does not make sense.

Yet he likes the ideas of Worst Character/Game? Most attractive character? And Best Inanimate object?

When did he say this?


In the topic I link to in the post I said that:

www.gamefaqs.com/boards/11-sballin/60143217

The first notion that "stuck out" in his mind was tag team, and essentially that's what we got - the rivalry thing is a variation of tag team.

Although actually, a Most Attractive Character contest could be unintentionally brilliant as the site decides to crown Link with the title.

I'd be up for a contest where Rikku could be an elite. Thats only reason she gets votes to begin with now.

A video game music contest would be difficult to do when it comes to match pictures. If match pictures were substituted with an embedded audio sample of both songs in the match, this site would have to deal with the legal issues associated with the video game music.

Let's have a Mega Man Robot Master Contest next! -_-


I just recently thought about this, but a Best Pokemon Contest would be interesting. We could easily do a 64 Pokemon bracket. I think 128 Pokemon would be overkill for a contest bracket, though.

Not at all, it's the journey, not the destination 13.25%
No, it's a popularity contest, and he's the most popular 21.52%
Maybe, as long as he gets to face the winner in a bonus battle 14.91%
Yes, it ruins the whole contest if he wins every time 12.85%
While you're at it, get rid of Cloud, and maybe even Mario 37.46%

So if for some reason I feel compelled to predict Link losing a match, do not go under ~35% for him!

Also most attractive character contest WAT. Is this a way to smuggle in more female characters, because nobody - y'know - actually cares about many of them as characters? Why do I suspect a facetious result like Link or GlaDOS winning before someone you might suspect, like Samus or Ada?

As a positive, Princess Peach might finally be properly seeded! None of this 15-seed baloney.

Best Pokemon contest would get the lowest votals ever. I'd only be interested if Nintendo made a new pokemon based on Link, so if we could see if Linkmon could beat real established pokemon.

Honestly, we could do 12-hour matches for the first 2 rounds of that contest, so the contest would only be 39 days.

1. Link vs. Ganondorf – 50.00%
2. Mario vs. Bowser – 42.28%
3. Cloud Strife vs. Sephiroth – 41.74%
4. Pokemon Trainer Red vs. Pokemon Trainer Blue – 37.51%
5. Solid Snake vs. Liquid Snake – 31.62%
6. Ryu vs. Ken Masters – 29.98%
7. Samus Aran vs. Ridley – 29.58%
8. Mega Man X vs. Zero – 28.19%
9. Big Boss vs. The Boss – 27.52%
10. Sub-Zero vs. Scorpion – 26.67%


Well, I like that we got to the 20's outside the top five, but I still wish Link had dominated everyone out of the 40's.

AND YOU CALL YOURSELF GAMEFAQS VOTERS.

A "Mega Man Robot Master Contest" would also have terrible votals as well. Also, very few people from the UK would vote in a "Mega Man Robot Master Contest" because they don't care about Mega Man.

Link is actually kind of attractive so it wouldn't be the worst winner.

Seriously though with how few females we have on the site I doubt Link could win that. If nothing else this contest proved that people read polls, even if I'm not convinced they understand them.

The voters are smart, but they are quite capable of finding Link more attractive than female characters, even while themselves being attracted to women more than men. The contest would be "most attractive character," not "which character are you most attracted to."

This is exactly why it has to be female only.

Man, Dante could totally pull out another 49.5% for a most attractive character contest. He'd probably 80-20 a Tales of Symphonia character and then beat down KOS-MOS before losing a close match.

I think you underestimate the drones. IF they see Link in the match, they will vote for him without caring what the match is for.
