GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1193
Well that canceled out the last cut. And then some. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
Big push back by DQ8, hope this is still interesting by morning. --- BGE3: Today's Matches CT>R&C, P3>DQ8, Batman>MMX, FFX>HL Points 0/0 |
I
tried to dig through DQ match trends earlier but there isn't much
that's conclusive. it went about even with Chrono Cross so it's probably
a night game. Persona.. is probably slightly more day vote oriented if I
had to guess, but not by much. cn's site is down for me right now so I can't dig into that Civ match. I forget how that went. --- xyzzy |

Persona.. is probably slightly more day vote oriented if I had to guess, but not by much. P3 did really well during the night and died during the morning. It outright lost a couple of hours to Civ IV. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Pretty sure Civ gained during the day. --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
I
meant in comparison to DQ8. going even with Chrono Cross doesn't give
me much hope with a day vote. those old Square games are as night
oriented as anything. --- xyzzy |
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?hl=en&key=tOGmynfNIiNy5VukpEF-PdA&hl=en#gid=0 You can see my old trend charts here if you can't bring up cn's site. I have to keep in mind that these GOTD matches were 12 hour things. DQ8 definitely did better with the day vote than CC did. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Alucard also did better with the day vote than Falcon --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
it looks like Chrono Cross's best time was the morning vs. DQ8? or I guess that was a day match? --- xyzzy |
Something I've always wondered, do CN and NGamer accept donations to support their sites? --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
Batman's starting to gain little by little. I really think the day vote will give him a big enough push. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRZAk2rfESU --- Tangy's Quest to beat the Final Fantasies: I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XII, XIII |
transience posted... it looks like Chrono Cross's best time was the morning vs. DQ8? or I guess that was a day match? It was a day match, yeah. So CC's best time was the night, and DQ8 did better with the ASV. Not surprising considering how awful CT (and Square in general) is with the day vote. (Yes, I know DQ8 is technically Square, too) --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
for what it's worth, Persona is winning NA while DQ8 is winning Europe. this match is a total tossup, I think. edit: I suck. Persona is winning Canada, not the US. --- xyzzy (edited 11/4/2015 10:23:34 PM)report |
Yeah,
I expect DQ8 to build up a decent lead once we hit dead of night in a
couple of hours. It'll just be a matter of how big of a lead it gets to
see if P3 comes back. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Personally, I've got this theme on the background instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJM_DPqV50c ...It's still Persona! Just a fluffier version. --- Currently watching: Avatar: The Last Airbender |
Also,
Batman is outright winning in the UK right now, so I expect it to get
over the 40% mark once the Euro vote hits full swing. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
DQVIII can't break 100 --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |

Is Mega Man X one of those series that never made a real splash in Europe, like CT? --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! Future 2015 Guru Contest winner. |
Well, that's because Mega Man in general is weak in the UK, so expect Mega Man X to collapse during the night vote. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Pretty sure a lot of Mega Man games (if not all?) were never released in Europe. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
LeonhartFour posted... Pretty sure a lot of Mega Man games (if not all?) were never released in Europe. I think Mega Man's weakness in Europe is almost 100% because of the UK. If you look at the poll maps for various Mega Man matches, you'll see that Mega Man does well in various European countries, but really bad in the UK. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
I
expect MMX to finish at around 57-58%. it had a hell of a start but
it's going to fall fairly close to expectations when all is said and
done. Chrono Trigger is the only one so far that's really breaking my pre-contest perception. --- xyzzy |

The Arkham series is huge in the UK. Just look at Arkham Knights sales there. --- Video Games are pretty cool. (edited 11/4/2015 10:30:10 PM)report |
Yeah,
I don't think anyone realistically expected this from CT, even
accounting for R&C being one of the weakest games in the bracket. Wonder if Mario 3 can break 90% on AoE2. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
DQVIII possibly benefiting from Dragon Quest Heroes? it seemed well liked and came out just few weeks ago. --- ... |
LeonhartFour posted... Yeah, I don't think anyone realistically expected this from CT, even accounting for R&C being one of the weakest games in the bracket. I'd take AoE2 over R&C easily, especially since it got the HD remaster. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
the first thing I thought when I saw CT was 'oh god what's going to happen to aoe2' I had been banking on CT being the #2 blowout and Mario 3 the #1. --- xyzzy |
transience posted... Chrono Trigger is the only one so far that's really breaking my pre-contest perception. I had Chrono Trigger at 81.36% and even that's on the high end for the Oracle predictions on this match. I had a feeling Chrono Trigger was going big in this match because even Golden Sun was able to put up about 68% on Ratchet & Clank. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
LeonhartFour posted... R&C got an HD remaster, too! But noone cares about crappy 3-D platformers! --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |

abdou posted... DQVIII possibly benefiting from Dragon Quest Heroes? it seemed well liked and came out just few weeks ago. It may have been SFF'd by Chrono Cross harder than we thought. Or the Akira Toriyama factor, given Chrono Trigger. Finally, the last possibility is simply that the X-stats were right about this match and persona did not get any stronger over the last 5 years. --- http://www.wwe.com/f/wysiwyg/image/2015/04/20150408_gameofthrones_cena.jpg http://i.imgur.com/chXIw06.jpg |
transience posted... the first thing I thought when I saw CT was 'oh god what's going to happen to aoe2' I'll put money on LttP scoring the biggest blowout. Wouldn't be shocked if OoT breaks 90% on Hearthstone as well. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
i
figured the absolute best CT could do was around 83%, and i have it
losing in the semi-finals (could it still get as low as 83%?). --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |
999 It's fanbase I think is generally stronger than R&C's, plus has cooler box art. --- Tangy's Quest to beat the Final Fantasies: I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XII, XIII |

Hearthstone
is definitely rallyable. I would not be surprised if it overperforms.
Unless all the players know it's dead in the water anyway against OOT
and don't bother trying. If there's no rally, OOT is scoring well over
90%. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
It's taken me over 90 minutes but I just discovered the matches are on the boards page... but at the very bottom. ...huh. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |

Huh,
you're right. The matches are on the boards page at the bottom. I
don't think that's going to hurt vote totals at all since I imagine most
people are voting from the homepage anyways. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |

Hearthstone is missing the one thing that a rally candidate needs: a rabid no-life fanbase.

I do plan to vote Hearthstone - but that's because OoT is a really whatever game to me. --- http://www.wwe.com/f/wysiwyg/image/2015/04/20150408_gameofthrones_cena.jpg http://i.imgur.com/chXIw06.jpg |
I'm not THAT impressed with CT's performance here. It's good, but it's mostly to be expected. Golden Sun of all games nearly broke 70% against Ratchet: UYA during GOTD. I love the Ratchet & Clank series, but it's nothing but fodder in these contests. |
BT, you're wrong. Hearthstone has a pretty rabid fanbase. Small, but very devoted. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
