GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1044
You have to figure that a site that loves JRPGs would probably also love anime as well, since anime is Japanese type stuff. Anime has a fair sized following here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4319 So Dragon Ball probably got stronger on this site over the past few years like what we saw with Pokemon. Not necessarily. Pokemon grew so much since people started to grow out of anti-voting it. I don't think DB ever had a problem with anti-votes. --- SuperNiceDog was not so nice to my bracket. Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the Rivalry Rumble Guru Contest! |

Team Rocket Elite posted... Anime has a fair sized following here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4319 So if we assume Dragon Ball is the Mario of anime in terms of watch-rate, that means it might have what, a 75% watch-rate? That's more than people who have owned FFVII. >_> --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/597oi.png |
Makes sense,I mean how many times has been Dragonball shown on TV?You could have watched a few episodes. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
I could see Pokemon having a higher watch-rate here than Dragonball. --- Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the Guru for a Super Bad Contest! |
totally unexpected poll >_> --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the guru contest. |
Bump. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO SUPERNICEDOG NO PEACE] |
So almost 2 out of 3 are alone?Stereotypes man. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
High-five this, Vlado. --- http://www.nbc.com/parks-and-recreation/exclusives/ron-dancing-animated.gif |
Damn that's harsh. How does this compare to PSP's first poll? --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/pjbasis.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
I think this is the first one: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1868 --- If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominos will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate. - Zapp Brannigan |
This was the PSP's first poll: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1868 However, that poll was on Japan's release date. This was on the US release date: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1949 9.90% ownership on the US release date. However, today's poll only takes into account the release of the Vita in Japan and through the First Edition Bundle. I'm sure we'll get another "Got Vita?" poll in 1 week from now once the regular edition of the Vita is released. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
I was really asking to compare the "I'm not planning on it" options. I guess the first PSP poll was a lot more stringent and thus had a much lower percentage for that option; I doubt I'll ever vs. no plans at all. Not too different based on the second one. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/pjbasis.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
The
last poll option in the second PSP poll has a similar percentage in
today's poll. Last poll option should lose some percentage overnight
thanks to the night vote. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Why people don't like PSP? --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
because it had a bad start and people think its still a bad system. The psp since like mid 2008 has been better than the DS. PSP and the DS were by far the best systems of this gen though. --- Pride. Passion. Excellence. Metal_DK Currently playing: Sengoku Rance, Starcraft II |
I thought Americans really liked DD.Glad to see that is not the case. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
It's actually Japan that likes DD. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
What exactly is Cable?It seems Americans have this. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
I would like to think Americans are confused. My connection is cable, but I'm using wireless. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the guru contest. |
"Cable
Modem" refers to internet that provided by a cable TV company. It is
the most popular form of internet in the US and Canada. My cable TV
company provides me with both internet and cable TV. charmander6000 | Posted 2/17/2012 8:30:42 AM | message detail | quote I would like to think Americans are confused. My connection is cable, but I'm using wireless. My connection uses a "Cable Modem", but I connect to the internet using a wireless router. Even though I use wireless to connect, the wireless router still requires the "Cable Modem" to provide me with my internet. So that's why I voted for "Cable Modem" instead of "Wireless/Cellular". --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
So TV companies provide Internet?Americans are strange. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
I think my grandfather had a typewriter, don't remember if I ever actually used it before. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/pjbasis.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
Safer Sephiroth 777 | Posted 2/18/2012 10:06:44 AM | message detail | quote So TV companies provide Internet?Americans are strange. Yes, TV companies do provide internet. Not all of them, though. Also, Canada is the same way as the US. pjbasis | Posted 2/18/2012 10:10:13 AM | message detail | quote I think my grandfather had a typewriter, don't remember if I ever actually used it before. I never had a typewriter or ever typed on one. I'm not old enough to ever have any experience with typewriters before computers became the preferred way of teaching typing. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Polls for the next 11 days: 2/19/2012 - I don't know. Probably an original poll idea. 2/20/2012 - What was the first Zelda game you ever played? 2/21/2012 - Have you read a book in the past year? 2/22/2012 - Got Vita? 2/23/2012 - Do you think you could ever be a professional gamer? 2/24/2012 - On average, how many caffeinated drinks (cola, coffee, energy drinks) do you consume a day? 2/25/2012 - How vigorously would you defend your video games from a would-be burglar? 2/26/2012 - Do you ever verbally abuse the people you play games online with? 2/27/2012 - How do you react when someone insults you online? 2/28/2012 - How many times do you hit the snooze button on your alarm clock in the morning? 2/29/2012 - What are you doing with your extra day this year? I kind of expected another "Got Vita?" poll on the second US release date, since the previous one was on the release date of the First Edition Bundle. The "Zelda game" poll will be very interesting to watch, though. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Oh wow, excellent poll. --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |
PS3, 360, Wii That's what I thought --- Congratulation to SuperNiceDog. Guru champ and Rivalry Rumble master |
At the freeze: 38.81% say 360 is the best 45.64% say PS3 is the best 14.54% say Wii is the best 21.40% say 360 is the worst 19.01% say PS3 is the worst 59.58% say Wii is the worst So you guys who said they thought the Wii could beat the PS3 or 360 in a console contest... --- http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/2369/mythbattlers.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png |
From: LeonhartFour | #177 It would be a lot closer than this. The poll specifying "right now" is probably hurting the Wii quite a bit. --- Starcraft is my life, so without it I wouldn't exist. - Artosis Congratulations to SuperNiceDog for winning the 2011 Guru contest. |
From: JJH777 | #178 And when a Wii vs. PS3 or 360 match takes place, what time frame would it be occurring in? Yep, right now. --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima SuperNiceDog: Bracket: Good, Taste: Bad |
From: JJH777 | #178 What, are you assuming the Wii is going to get better in the future or something? --- http://www.gifsoup.com/view/593815/frasier-and-niles-dance-o.gif |
From: LeonhartFour | #180 No I'm assuming people liked the Wii better in it's earlier years which they did. In the past year there have been <5 good games released for the Wii and in the U.S. specifically like 1 total. --- Starcraft is my life, so without it I wouldn't exist. - Artosis Congratulations to SuperNiceDog for winning the 2011 Guru contest. |
He's
thinking that the Wii would do better in a contest setting, as that
would likely make the voters think about the system's game library as a
whole rather than looking only at what the Wii has been doing recently. If you looked only at what the Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii had in the past year, the Wii would likely get under 10% in a 3-way poll. If you took those 3 systems and looked at their entire game library, I bet you that the Wii would get over 20% in a 3-way poll. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Wii would do better in a contest setting, but more like it'd only be doubled by PS3 rather than tripled. Actually, it'd probably be something more like 70%, but you get the idea. --- Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the Guru for a Super Bad Contest! |
http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2608 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4634 The first poll happened only about a month after the Wii and PS3 came out. Huge change in the results since then. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Expected. I wonder if the Wii can beat any console period. Maybe the Xbox. Or something obscure like SEGA. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/pjbasis.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
From: JJH777 | #181 "Right now" doesn't mean "Which console has had the best games recently?" It means, "The entirety of the console up to this point." If people are disappointed with the Wii now, I'm not sure why removing "right now" fixes that. --- http://i.imgur.com/fe05x.png http://i.imgur.com/stNJf.png |
What an excellent poll. BEST SYSTEM EVER HYPE! I'm with JJH on this one. In the BSE people will consider a game's entire library more carefully and the Wii will perform considerably better. --- thengamer.com/guru thengamer.com/xstats board8.wikia.com Best Show ever? Our interview of Guru Champ SuperNiceDog! |
From: Ngamer64 | #187 Why aren't they now? I don't get it. Like, if you don't think the Wii is a good system right now, why are you going to consider it a good system just because it's a contest? --- http://img.imgcake.com/leonpngpe.png http://img.imgcake.com/squalloweenpngem.png |
Nice poll. I like how it's a pretty good 50/40/10 split. PS3 > 360 >>> Wii is a pretty common belief it seems. --- 2011 WWYD Champion I do things for money and games. |
Yesterday's poll result was similar to the System of the Year poll. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4593 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4634 Yesterday's poll: 50.28% think PS3 is the best 39.28% think 360 is the best 10.44% think Wii is the best For the System of the Year poll: PS3 - 53.70% 360 - 39.24% Wii - 7.06% If you removed every poll option from the System of the Year poll besides PS3, 360, and Wii, you would end up with the percentages listed above. The 360 nearly matched the exact percentage it had in yesterday's poll. PS3 also overperformed by about 3.4% in System of the Year, while the Wii underperformed by about 3.4%. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
I just realized that two major games released in the last few months both have the subtitle "Revelations". What gives? On a different topic, if Samus ever runs into Link again, we should have a match pic showing Wind Waker Link and Other M Samus both crying or something. That would be fun to look at. --- Currently Playing - StarCraft: Brood War |
Whoa, is this site seriously that old? Expected Ocarina of Time to kill that one with LttP coming up second. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/pjbasis.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
No
way most people have played the first game.That means that most people
are over 30 years old?Doesn't make sense.Is the site really stuck in the
past? --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
Was ever a poll asking which FF game you played first? --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
Safer Sephiroth 777 posted... No way most people have played the first game.That means that most people are over 30 years old?Doesn't make sense.Is the site really stuck in the past? They don't have to have played it when it first came out. They just have to have had the original be the first Zelda game they played. Given the ease of availability and the fact that quite a few people prefer starting a series from the beginning, I would have been surprised if the original wasn't in the top two. Was ever a poll asking which FF game you played first? http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2315 Back in March '06. --- Congrats to SuperNiceDog, your 2011 Guru Champion! |
7?Guess that makes sense.I played 7 first and then I went back and played all the others. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
After
the results of GotD and the Rivalry Rumble, I don't know how anyone can
be surprised by this result. Not only is there very limited reason to
come here compared to other walkthrough options, but we have past
results showing very clearly that this site's fanbase is largely old
gamers! And did anyone else notice that the votals for the Internet-type poll was the worst votals in that one since 2001? Ouch. >_> --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/597oi.png |
And
did anyone else notice that the votals for the Internet-type poll was
the worst votals in that one since 2001? Ouch. >_> Yeah, you're right about that. The internet connection poll never brings in good votals in the first place. It's never gotten above 65000 votes at all. Yesterday's poll was the first poll to break 60000 votes since the last contest ended. Before yesterday, the last non-contest poll to break 60000 votes was this: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4507 --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Yeah the site is old, but look at the FF one, VII is number 1 as I would have expected. It's freakin' impressive OoT is that strong if it doesn't even have as much "first game bias" as one would think. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/pjbasis.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
See those systems pulling in the votes! --- Who knew the Rivalry Rumble would be so predictable? SuperNiceDog, that's who. |
