Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1068

I have Reyn in my bracket. I'm not even sure how that happened and I wanna say I accidentally put it and didn't realize. Needless to say I had Spyro in expert and thought he'd win easily. (wasn't sure on the other two though so only +3 today)

No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

Morrigan's competition craps all over what Spyro's up against here. Edgeworth would probably be blowing out this poll.

Spyro is still getting annihilated next round.


Agent 47 might be blowing out this poll.

Man I can't believe I picked Clementine in my bracket (not my expert though)

One of the few matches I looked to the board for help and got swayed to darkness!


Funnily enough, I tend to do better in these contests when I don't listen to this board =/

Still am expecting Wheatly to beat Crash on Monday, thought Crash should be able to at least beat Vercetti now.

Not really. There's a reason why Board 8 annihilates non-Board 8 in every contest - because we're here observing and evaluating this stuff, and everyone from the biggest casual to the biggest stats nerd has picked up info that a non-Board 8er isn't privy to. Don't mean to be douchy about it, but this idea of "the board guiding you wrong" is intrinsically folly for all of us.

So this is good news for Draven, right? Because it shows that the Jak he beat wasn't entirely fodderific. Meaning he would need less of a rally than expected to beat Mega Man X. Granted, it will still need to be a massive one. But now he needs a massive rally as normal fodder and not crazy uber-fodder.


Heck no. Good luck getting a rally going against the likes of icons like Ryu and Mega Man.

Also, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Wheatley got last. He's the newest character in his poll by a decade, and these new characters apart from Mass Effect have kinda sucked. Vercetti probably sucks bad now, but people remember him and have some sort of attachment there.

Currently, Reyn is at 20.06% on Spyro. Dunban got 16.54% on Vincent. For Reyn to get the exact same percentage on Vincent that Dunban got, Vincent would have to get 58.78% on Spyro to make Reyn equal to Dunban. And well, Vincent would blow out Spyro much worse than 59%. I think Vincent probably gets around 70% on Spyro.

Yeah, Reyn is looking absolutely awful. I was waaaay off base.

Luckily I don't have too many more against the cookie picks here. Locke Cole probably be the most questionable(maybe Ryu H too). I don't even remember picking Locke. Hopefully he pulls it off though. >_>

Reyn is doing so badly that it's managing to make Vincent look even worse. At this rate, Reyn may end up near Dunban's percentage against THIS competition.

Reyn is doing so badly that it's managing to make Vincent look even worse. At this rate, Reyn may end up near Dunban's percentage against THIS competition.


Final Fantasy manages to look bad even when it's not in a match. Amazing...

Spyro has 55%. Gex would win this.

Old Sony mascot types and could they win this poll:

Blasto
Gex
Tomba
Sir Daniel Fortesque
Jersey Devil


Gex is a SORNY mascot?

We need to get Sir Dan into a contest one of these days, especially if the field stays this big in the future. He likely won't win, but it'd be cool just to see him in a contest for once.

I would take Gex, Sir Daniel and Tomba to win this match.

Seriously.

I guess I just lump Gex into a category with a lot of days gone by heroes. I always identified with him as Sony despite other platforms and such.

The best part is, there is literally no reason to take Clementine here. I wasn't even aware this match was in question, that's how obvious Spyro was to me. Sure he looked like ass in previous contests, but when you have 2 obscure generic looking characters against any kind of mascot, that mascot is going to win. Plus Spyro's had a resurgence of games the last 2 years which certainly doesn't hurt.

Man I can't believe I picked Clementine in my bracket (not my expert though)

One of the few matches I looked to the board for help and got swayed to darkness!


Funnily enough, I tend to do better in these contests when I don't listen to this board =/


Not really. There's a reason why Board 8 annihilates non-Board 8 in every contest - because we're here observing and evaluating this stuff, and everyone from the biggest casual to the biggest stats nerd has picked up info that a non-Board 8er isn't privy to. Don't mean to be douchy about it, but this idea of "the board guiding you wrong" is intrinsically folly for all of us.


True. I'm being a little harsh. But there are those times when certain individuals sell you the idea that a certain match is a lock (like this one) and turns out the character they were banking on completely bombs. Tends to always be the case when there's a new character in the field. Otherwise, the board collectively does a good job picking the winner.

Using 2007 Spyro Reyn is weaker than Tanner.

Not that I believe this is 2007 Spyro.


But how many Chesters is he worth?

Tomba and Gex also need to get into the contest for once. Because if Jade Curtiss can make the contest three times, those two should be given at least a shot.

Gex rocks. I have fond memories of playing Gex and Gex 3 on the N64...

I'd definitely be for getting him into a future contest (he'd certainly be better than some of the other stuff in this bracket).

Speaking of characters that haven't made it in. Where the heck is Majora? The game wins best game of the decade but has never had any representation in these contests outside of Tingle. Tingle.

Welp...my first miss on my bracket, and I also have Lee winning which is not happening. G&W should wreck that poll.

I still have faith in Wheatley though...the fact that his character design looks GLaDOS should help substantially.

But yeah, outside of series like God of War and Mass Effect, it seems that new characters are just ass in general.

This is actually a very good question.

Why would anyone nominate Tingle anyway? I mean who are these people??

Okay, we must lobby the next Guru winner to nominate Majora. Can't believe I never thought of it before.

And by new characters, I mean anything from the time these contests started, not new like a couple years ago. Most voters seem to be 90's gamers. Very little post-2k2 is worth a damn.

It seems like most of the characters from the past 2 or 3 years have been bombing left and right. Because of this, I think Wheatley is a huge bomb waiting to happen. I'm going to put Wheatley in 3rd place in my Expert Challenge.

Tingle has the joke factor going on because everyone just couldn't believe a character that ridiculous made it's way into a Zelda game. That's how he makes it in all the god damn time.
