Less than 30 minutes ago, the poll URLs were changed. Earlier, the URL looked like this - http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=5124 Now the URL has changed to http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/5124 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll?page=102 The new poll URLs don't work with the 4 negative numbered polls at the bottom of the above page. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/-1 The new URL format causes the negative numbered polls to redirect back to the full poll list page. Well, you can still view the negative numbered polls by using this modified URL - http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll?poll=-1 I expect this issue to be fixed soon, as Devin already knows about it by now. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
why are some of those negative again? --- ~Zen |
There's that slight possibility we won't be able to make match pics =( http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/66521869 --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |
why are some of those negative again? Those polls were board polls and not on the main page. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls BOP Topic: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/66439939 |
ZenOfThunder posted... why are some of those negative again? Poll -1 was a poll that CJayC put inside of a topic he made on CE. Poll -2 and -3 were front page polls that were placed below a contest match during the 2003 Character Battle. Poll -4 was the Link/Jay Solano match that CJayC put inside of a topic on Board 8. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Board 8 experts: how much does day or night matter? I mean, honestly. I'm sure it has some effect ... but how much, really? --- Operation Rainfall: Three for Three Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story & Pandora's Tower - released |
-LusterSoldier- posted... Less than 30 minutes ago, the poll URLs were changed. Earlier, the URL looked like this - http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=5124 I wonder if the new url will have any effect on creativename's poll update tracker. We should be sure to manually collect the first few updates in case there's a problem that needs to be fixed. --- Pokemon VGC2013 OR Regional - 12th place Pokemon VGC2013 BC Regional - 16th place |
The Owner of FF9 posted... Board 8 experts: how much does day or night matter? Night matches can matter somewhat (they tend to get ~55% of the votes of 24 hour matches), but day matches match up to 24 hour ones pretty well. Unless the final result in a day match is 50/50 or something, it probably won't make much of a difference, depending on the characters of course. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. |
It
can be pretty significant, especially when you consider that Europe has
a much higher percentage of the total vote during night matches. --- I'm not a dog person, but you just can't help but like SuperNiceDog, the Guru Champion. |
Board 8 experts: how much does day or night matter? I mean, honestly. I'm sure it has some effect ... but how much, really? It depends on who's competing, but if it is between a night and a day character it can turn a 50/50 match into a 52-3/47-8 match or vice versa. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls BOP Topic: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/66439939 |
Team Rocket Elite posted... I wonder if the new url will have any effect on creativename's poll update tracker. We should be sure to manually collect the first few updates in case there's a problem that needs to be fixed. Oh yeah, you are right about that. Don't worry, both of us will manually collect updates in the event his updater misses the first few updates. I'll email creativename about this. I already told him about the new site layout and I got a response from him confirming that he is aware of the new site layout. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
I swear this board would fall apart without luster --- ~Zen |
the
two matches I'm having the hardest time deciding(outside the fodder
face offs anyway) are the boss, sub-zero, and bowser, and mega man,
zero, and whoever(charizard?). sub-zero is always decent and MK9 went over really well so I'm leaning sub-zero. and as for the other one zero is pretty resistant to SFF and has tanked mega man before. why does zero get matched up against him so often |
Sub-Zero
is pretty good but he's not on Bowser's level, even if you assume a
small MK9 boost. Note that MK9 is over two years old at this point, too,
so any immediate hype or whatever is long since gone. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
huh,
there's a match i never gave any thought to. it seems obvious, unless
Chrom manages to win his first-round match, and then it seems like a
Sub-Zero win could be possible. --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |
So is Alucard/Falcon a day or night match? Because 44 Alucard 28.21% 28.21% 0.00% 45 Captain Falcon 27.94% 27.94% 0.00% It might be the deciding factor! --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
It's a night match. --- Pokemon VGC2013 OR Regional - 12th place Pokemon VGC2013 BC Regional - 16th place |
I think Alucard wins either way. Falcon's value is probably a bit inflated due to Cloud anti-votes. --- Leonhart posting from his phone |
AxemRedRanger posted... Sub-Zero is pretty good but he's not on Bowser's level, even if you assume a small MK9 boost. Note that MK9 is over two years old at this point, too, so any immediate hype or whatever is long since gone. MK9 has been rereleased twice since then. Never mind that now the series as a whole is much more relevant than during any other character battle. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Also good news for me is that Squall/Missingno is now a night match. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
Joke characters are dead I believe.They did nice with L-Block but that was it. --- 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~ |
Missingno had some additional strength because of the Pokemon fanbase. I'm afriad ?-Block might have some additional strength too because of the Mario fanbase. --- *2, *8,070,446 Kuroko no Basket *3, *6,495,240 Naruto |
Knowing
it's a night match, more confident in Squall than ever. Yeah, also more
faith in Pikachu > Crono and Shepard > Aeris thanks to them being
day matches. |
The only bad thing about the schedule flip: this makes Dracula's second match a day match. At this rate, even Sonic might beat him. --- The contest is back. Nothing else matters. |
...? Dracula wasn't beating Sonic regardless of the format of the match. Also, I have a feeling ? Block is going to flop. People are going to look at that bonus poll and assume it has strength. I think there's a decent chance Rikku wins that match. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
It's a lock that Rikku defeats ? Block. --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima SuperNiceDog: Bracket: Good, Taste: Bad |
Rikku
doesn't beat L-Block by much IMO, as long as ? Block is stronger than
L-Block it should be able to win. Of course ? Block > L-Block isn't a
lock either. Also helps that ? Block is a new joke and that this is a 3-way match oppose to 1v1. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls BOP Topic: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/66439939 |
Again,
? Block should be stronger than L-Block because it had Mario fanbase
support. There's a reason that Missingno was able to do as much damage
as breaking the Noble Nine even though the joke character thing had died
out a bit, turning L-Block into a midcarder. It had a strong fanbase to
support it besides joke value. It might not be as much for ?-Block, but
should definitely be enough to beat Rikku. --- *2, *8,070,446 Kuroko no Basket *3, *6,495,240 Naruto |
I now have Squall beating Missingno, Samus beating Auron, and... SNAKE VS. CLOUD!!! +MGSV hype +Guaranteed to stand out in match pic +FF7 weakening +I want to see it happen! +Another Square character could be in the match -No bandwagon -Pikachu could damage Smash appeal. -Cloud's likely naturally stronger Winner: Snake --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
charmander6000 posted... Rikku doesn't beat L-Block by much IMO, as long as ? Block is stronger than L-Block it should be able to win. Of course ? Block > L-Block isn't a lock either. Jokes are known to perform at their best during their first contest before their strength drops off in their second contest. I know ? Block was in a bonus match, but it wasn't officially part of a contest, so this will be ? Block's first contest. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Which is why I said it was a new joke. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls BOP Topic: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/66439939 |
Polls for the next 3 days: 6/22/2013 - Have you played Minecraft yet? 6/23/2013 - How many different game consoles do you currently have hooked up and ready to play in your home? 6/24/2013 - How do you pronounce GameFAQs? The Minecraft poll will be very interesting because we have Minecraft characters in this contest. The GameFAQs pronunciation poll will have some interesting trends (thanks to the UK and Australia). Also, the GameFAQs pronunciation poll has the third highest vote total for a non-contest poll, so this poll should be able to break 50000 votes. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
So Bacon with this official art for Simon Belmont http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090424044624/castlevania/images/b/b4/Simon.jpg eeeeeh --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
With the new poll maps that were introduced last week, I compiled a full list of countries that have voted in every single poll: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1S0lNGiO3v8T-Gl3a6ItbDoHyfGTygMorjYMw2oNlODs/pub --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Damn now I really have to reconsider Aeris/Shep. I've already changed my mind so many times! |
Anyone think Waluigi can finish above Alan Wake? --- "i am pretty sure 3-year old children would generate more thoughtful discussion than board 8 on any topic of sexism" - Naye745 |
MarioSuperstar posted... Anyone think Waluigi can finish above Alan Wake? http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/66520006 --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Nice to see that the Vatican contributes every now and then. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls BOP Topic: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/66439939 |
The
Vatican hasn't voted in a single poll since Poll 4673. More than
likely, the votes from the Vatican came from a tourist using their
internet to vote. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
no the pope just needs help on games sometimes and stops by the poll to vote --- ~Zen |
also my new goal is to become the first voter from Antarctica put that s*** on the bucket list --- ~Zen |
Internet does in fact exist and although it's possible to travel to Antarctica, it's an expensive trip. I'd rather attempt to become the first voter from Svalbard. It's much easier to visit that country compared to Antarctica. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Neither of those are countries, Luster. Bone up on your geography! --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima SuperNiceDog: Bracket: Good, Taste: Bad |
Too bad North Korea took down their 3G internet, as I might have voted from there! (...yeeeah no) --- Wii Fit Trainer MASTER RACE |
37.07% playrate for Minecraft right now. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
This poll makes me feel better about Minecraft not doing much in the contest. |
Minecraft
has a 38.11% playrate right now. That's definitely better than I
expected because most games don't come close to 50% playrate. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
is 38% that impressive considering a game like Disgaea has 30% playrate? --- ... |
Playrate might help Creeper, but I doubt it helps Steve. --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima SuperNiceDog: Bracket: Good, Taste: Bad |
