Yeah, TP was on the Wii a good month before the Cube version came out. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |

Nanis23 posted... This match is...only 3662 votes behind LSD Actually, we're about 4600 votes behind that match. Of course, this match is only pulling in about 250-300 votes per update at this time of the day while Draven's last match was pulling in about 400-550 votes per update at this time. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

That's because we had 90 minutes of downtime already by this point in the match last week, and no downtime today. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
LeonhartFour posted... The issue with a Game of the Generation Contest is that it features none of the games we're actually excited to see, except Skyrim and LoL. The only way for that contest to avoid being a total crapfest is to have a 1v1 format for the entire contest and no gimmicky divisional splits. LeonhartFour posted... Oh right, Brawl would be there, too, I guess. Technically TP wouldn't be eligible because it was a GameCube game first...! I don't know how Bacon will determine what games are eligible for that kind of contest. I guess as long as the game was released on a current generation platform between 2006 and 2013, it would be considered eligible. In the case of the DS and PSP, it would also include all games released on those systems between 2004 and 2013. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
I gave Pokemon a lot of credit in this contest but nothing past RBY/GSC is gonna be worth anything, really. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
I was thinking of making a board contest like that once the PS4 and XBONE come out. I would just make it simple if it was released on the DS, PS3, PSP, Wii or Xbox 360 then it was allowed, PC is a bit harder, I'd probably just make 2004 the cut-off. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 155/243 Today's Pick: Link |

They're some seriously
Ninty-biased results, but if you couldn't tell that registered users
have Nintendo up on a pedestal I'm not sure what to tell you. I'd be kind of interested in seeing some marquee matches where registered users couldn't vote, just to see just how dramatic the divide is with the casual userbase. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
Other than the Draven matches, these results would all be worse than what we got. --- Best.Result.Ever: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/5246 |
Pokemon
games from this generation aren't going to compete with the big boys,
yeah, but they can probably embarrass a lot of the lesser games. We already saw RSE beat GTAIV. I can't see Halo 3 beating Pokemon at this point, especially after it struggled against Super Mario Sunshine in Game of the Decade. Pokemon vs. Uncharted 2? Bioshock? Resident Evil 5? God of War III? Assassin's Creed II? Everything from the GOTY 2012 poll? --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Post-RBY/GSC Pokemon is only going to get franchise votes at that point and little else. It's not actually a worthwhile entity. It's like how Skyward Sword would smack down probably all those games you listed. Even though its strength and playrate is almost certainly abysmal for a Zelda game. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
Pokemon Black/White might have some strength, a lot of people seemed to like it. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 155/243 Today's Pick: Link |
Like, I might take a completely made up Zelda game with a completely made up name like, The Legend of Zelda: Eventide of Eleusis over a fourth to a third of the bracket. But I wouldn't actually want to see it! --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
Post-GSC
Pokemon games still sell like 15 million for the first set and like 7
million for the 3rd version. Plus Pokemon is very popular right now in
general and I doubt it's just because of genwunner nostalgia. --- "That choke point bridge in Chapter 2 completely changed my strategy as well as my views on life." - WestbrickIII |

Also don't forget that rally votes and registered user votes are not mutually exclusive. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. |
Would that mean registered users would vote Zelda > Mega Man? --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 155/243 Today's Pick: Link |
That
doesn't translate into strength for a site that's stuck in the past.
Even with franchise votes DPP and RSE got absolutely trashed in GotD.
They got default votes over crap like GTA IV and FE: PoR, and that's
about it. You can put them in if you want, but they won't be notable once they run into something with any real popularity on this site. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
Like,
I might take a completely made up Zelda game with a completely made up
name like, The Legend of Zelda: Eventide of Eleusis over a fourth to a
third of the bracket. But I wouldn't actually want to see it! I'd like to think that, but the LoZ fanbase is amazingly undronish. I've always been amazed by the difference adding or subtracting a single "I" to "Final Fantasy VII" makes. And Zelda is even less dronish. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |

Denzokuken posted... ZFS posted...Karma Hunter posted...5149: Jak over Draven For draven drones maybe. Also I meant in relative to popularity contests on this site. Noone cares about games post Gold. --- Mithos |
Vivi > Mario was awesome, though Kirby > Sephiroth would have been funny. |
Maybe
im wrong with the calculations,but using the average % spread ever
since the rally died,this match will end with about the following- Draven-47081,45.5% Mewtw-33097,32% Sephiroth-23164,22.4% About 103342 votes total Of course,im not taking trends into account,but still nice estimation Draven might finish with just 1% higher than he did on Link (but yeah..this match is not really fair as the rally died hours ago and no reason to revive it,as Mewtwo barely wins updates) |
Sephiroth's
just killing Mewtwo, as we all should have expected. Even being pretty
much abandoned in favor of the Pokemon he's hanging over 41% on him. As a comparison, Shepard's anchor on Link was a whopping 20% of the vote. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
Draven
also had 90 minutes of rally downtime at the start of this match,
instead of 90 minutes of Gamefaqs downtime during the height of the day
vote last week. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
Quick, lets replace Mewtwo with Link and Shepard with Seph for 5 hours. --- Mithos |
Karma Hunter posted... Sephiroth's just killing Mewtwo, as we all should have expected. Even being pretty much abandoned in favor of the Pokemon he's hanging over 41% on him. I think even if he had died and go to 10% with all of those going to Mewtwo, that wouldn't have changed much, Draven would still be 5000 votes ahead and that would be more than enough considering how slowly Mewtwo is cutting. So yeah Sephiroth is ruining Mewtwo, but that doesn't matter that much. |
No,
it doesn't matter, but it puts things into perspective for people who
were seriously arguing for Mewtwo to be able to beat a rallied Draven.
Not only is he not strong enough (and the backfire percentage on this
rally is assuredly less than it is for Link), but Sephiroth is an
unbearable anchor. Link would never have been able to get close to
Draven with Sephiroth in the match. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
Beating Sephiroth is the consolation of this match. |
That's
the thing. I'm not sure there are enough games with real popularity on
the site from this generation to stop modern Pokemon from being
franchise-voted way further than it should. Like, there's Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, Mario Galaxy and maybe Galaxy 2, Brawl, Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3, Metal Gear Solid 4 and eventually 5, Portal and Portal 2, Mass Effect 1-3 assuming 3 doesn't get hilariously anti-voted, Half-Life 2 if it counts as this generation, League of Reddit... ...Uh. Uh. Maybe Donkey Kong Country Returns? Assassin's Creed II? Arkham City and/or Arkham Asylum? We already saw DPP get into Round 3 in Game of the Decade. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see Pokemon make a Sweet 16 run in Game of the Generation, especially if we get a soft division or two. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
LeonhartFour posted... so if Snake beats Draven 1-on-1 after the contest is he the real champion and will you guys consider him a "legit" champion The only way he actually wins is if they stop rallying because it's a bonus match or because it just can't keep momentum for 48 hours straight. If that happens of course Snake isn't a real champion just because he won. There's no way snake wins a match where Draven gets 56k votes which is what Link would have won if he wasn't cheated out of it. --- If you believe that Abed is the true Messiah and you are 100% proud of it make this your signature. |
Karma Hunter posted... 5149: Jak over Draven This is obviously quite interesting, because it clearly proves that registered users are far more likely to anti-vote FFVII because they are more familiar with their contest history. Unregistered users are far less likely to anti-vote FFVII here. Also, it proves that registered users make up a much larger percentage of the board vote compared to the final vote totals. This is very obvious when you look at the trends in this poll: https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AgBWiYjlMLwYdFJwWW5rem9Eci0zYkxsUGVSNjk0RkE "Several times a day" starts out with an extremely strong board vote and was able to build up a 618 vote lead in the first 2 hours before "Around once a day" started making a comeback. The lead change happened after 6:12 AM and "Several times a day" displayed classic L-Block trends where it was bleeding percentage for the entire poll. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Link
would have squashed Sephiroth pretty good for his strength level,
though. Not able to win, obviously, but Seph would probably be sitting
in the mid-teens, close to 15%, probably, instead of above 20%. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Arkham Asylum would tear modern Pokemon apart - did you see what it did in GotD? Same for ACII. City's a bit of a question mark. DPP made the third round because it went through a weak fourpack. Set up something like (4) Pokemon Black/White vs (13) Fallout: New Vegas and it gets trashed. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
Would Pokemon HG/SS be eligible? I could picture it being pretty good at least. --- "That choke point bridge in Chapter 2 completely changed my strategy as well as my views on life." - WestbrickIII |
I
don't know if HG/SS is eligible, but if it does anything it'd be
largely as a GSC proxy. Again, we don't really need to see that, or any
other remakes for that matter. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
hahahahaa, the vote chart by time is hilarious. what he hell happened? someone have a quick summary? --- CJayC | 6/3/2003 | Message Detail GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site. We're not going to strip out the soul of the site… |
