LeonhartFour posted... still trying to see why people think this is a bad performance for FFX Chrono Trigger Beast Moding Of course it's possible that Ratchet and Clank is like sub-Tanner levels --- http://www.wwe.com/f/wysiwyg/image/2015/04/20150408_gameofthrones_cena.jpg http://i.imgur.com/chXIw06.jpg |
I'm so excited to have a real goddamn contest back in my life. I haven't felt this good about contests in a long time. --- xyzzy |
R&C will almost certainly be bottom ten in the X-Stats after this contest with a showing like this, so yeah. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
DQ pulling away for now. Persona should win the dead zone between these two, right? --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
charmander6000 posted... Given how close the vote totals are do you think people are voting when they normally wouldn't? This could cause things like the picture to be a bigger factor. Not following the logic here. Care to elaborate a bit more? Not sure how the 4 matches having similar votals correlates to voting trends. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
I don't think FFX losing to CT is a 'bad' performance either --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
FFX board vote over, Half-Life to break 40% confirmed. --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
P3 vs DQ8 has 200+ less votes than the other matches which is more than 10% of the vote at this stage. edit: Nevermind, I think my computer wouldn't show an update for some reason. --- This was my signature, but Raytan, 2013 Guru champion, took it away. (edited 11/4/2015 9:47:02 PM)report |

This could cause things like the picture to be a bigger factor. I think the suggestion is that people are feeling compelled to vote in all 4 matches due to the format when if we held them one at a time, they might be more likely to sit a given match out if they didn't know/care about either game. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |

BlAcK TuRtLe posted... charmander6000 posted...Given how close the vote totals are do you think people are voting when they normally wouldn't? This could cause things like the picture to be a bigger factor. I think he means that people that wouldn't normally vote for a match cause they don't know the games might vote anyways because if they're voting for the other three then they might as well click a random one for the fourth. --- http://psnprofiles.com/Drayxs |

Not
following the logic here. Care to elaborate a bit more? Not sure how
the 4 matches having similar votals correlates to voting trends. Had we only had one match at a time I would bet DQ8/P3 would have less votes. This means people are voting in that match when they wouldn't normally. If it's a 50/50 split then it's fine, but if the voters are biased in a way then it could cause changes in expected results. --- BGE3: Today's Matches CT>R&C, P3>DQ8, Batman>MMX, FFX>HL Points 0/0 |

I hope all you suckers who took UC2 or Portal 2 to win its fourpack
over Sonic 2 are regretting that decision right about now --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

some comparisons Link/Isaac/Tingle @ 00:50 - 5180 votes Yoshi/Solaire/Demi-Fiend @ 00:50 - 5335 votes Chrono Trigger/R&C @ 00:50 - 3219 votes FFX/Half-Life @ 00:50 - 3172 votes --- xyzzy (edited 11/4/2015 9:53:07 PM)report |
I'm starting to think Half-Life might break 40% with how FFX's losing percentage. Doesn't FF do better at night? --- Tangy's Quest to beat the Final Fantasies: I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XII, XIII |
Goldeneye to Round 3 confirmed tbh --- Communists |
For
what it's worth, this is only a 'bad' performance for FFX because
everything it does is relative to CT, which is looking like a golden
god. So FFX is looking fine while the game it's debated against is looking like the strongest it's ever been, which is 'bad' for FFX. --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( (edited 11/4/2015 9:52:36 PM)report |
FFX
rises to heaven in the middle of the night. you'll start to see that at
like 2am - though Half-Life is probably also a killer night vote game. --- xyzzy |
Yeah, FF in general is a beast with the night vote due to being so popular in Europe. It has 80% in the UK right now, for the record. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
TheKoolAidShoto posted... Goldeneye to Round 3 confirmed tbh Skyrim will crush it. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak PSN ID - Kudaark Steam Name : skaalfa |
LeonhartFour posted... also I hope all you suckers who took UC2 or Portal 2 to win its fourpack over Sonic 2 are regretting that decision right about now This is like the ONE place where I second-guessed my gut and went with UC2. But I also think you're reading too much into this result. Arkham City has fallen off a CLIFF and is just not very iconic (at the end of the day its just another sandbox game in a sea of them). --- http://www.wwe.com/f/wysiwyg/image/2015/04/20150408_gameofthrones_cena.jpg http://i.imgur.com/chXIw06.jpg |
UC2 struggled to beat a game that barely beat Sonic Adventure 2 good luck with that pick --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
WarThaNemesis2 posted... For what it's worth, this is only a 'bad' performance for FFX because everything it does is relative to CT, which is looking like a golden god. Yeah this. While I feel better about picking CT over FFX its far from a done deal. And I'm certainly not assuming it's going to beat Melee either. --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
So you're saying.... SA2 > Sonic 2 is possible!? --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
I
went with a purposeful nostalgia bracket and still didn't pick Sonic 2.
I'm not convinced that it beats Portal 2 at all after seeing this..
also, I think MMX actually ends up falling in line with what we
expected. well, most of us. --- xyzzy |
LeonhartFour posted... LOLContests posted...LeonhartFour posted...still trying to see why people think this is a bad performance for FFX If FFX keeps dropping it's not going to do any better than FFIX would have without CC in the poll. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking?

pjbasis posted... So you're saying.... LOL --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
That was a pretty major stall by Arkham. No chance it turns this around, right? --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
and
Uncharted has grown leaps and bounds over the past 5 years. it can
definitely still lose but I wouldn't put it at the same level. --- xyzzy |
UC2 is one of like the ONLY classics to come from the PS3 era. I think it has a chance. Of course my logic was that Portal 2 would fail to beat Sonic 2 and that UC2 could beat Portal. UC2>Sonic 2....different story. --- http://www.wwe.com/f/wysiwyg/image/2015/04/20150408_gameofthrones_cena.jpg http://i.imgur.com/chXIw06.jpg |
Qwaar posted... TheKoolAidShoto posted...Goldeneye to Round 3 confirmed tbh If today's poll stays about the same, Skyrim/GoldenEye could be the contest bellweather match. It'll tell us a lot about how to expect the voting to go in the later rounds. --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
Of course DQ8 would screw up before it put up the legendary 100 VOTE BARRIER --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
LeonhartFour posted... pjbasis posted...So you're saying.... SA2 would be a monster in the fabled Quotes Contest though. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
Oh, and Persona 3 with a strong cut. This is gonna get good overnight. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
