GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1194
creativename posted... Ah, I figured out the error. Usually I increment each poll ID by 1 daily, but forgot to account that polls IDs are going up by 4 each day :) I stopped triggering manual updates and the automatic updates kick in so it looks like it works now. We do 4 polls a day for Round 1 and 2. 2 polls a day for Round 3. Round 4 and onward are 1 poll a day. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
TLOU/Halo 3 is staying pretty darn constant. Still within half a percent of where it was at the freeze. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
I think all TLoU winning by this much means is that Halo as a series has fallen off a cliff on GameFAQs. --- This was my signature, but Raytan, 2013 Guru champion, took it away. |
I don't think there have ever been a contest where I've failed to predict Kingdom Hearts except the rivalry rumble. What an awful series, --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. Raytan > Me |
Oh hey, MGS4 got a cut and brought KHII under 60% Guess the Euro night vote is here. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

creativename posted... When it switches to 2 polls - for round 3 is it? - there might be an issue again if I don't remember to correct it. So if something happens for round 3, please remind me :) Correct, round 3 is 2 polls a day. Round 4 and beyond will be just one poll a day. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
If TLOU stays at about this level while KH2 continues to drop, I might entertain TLOU winning next round. It won't, but hey! --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

I really need to learn to read what I post before I post it. I meant that I've always failed to predict KH. Here are some picks I've made. 2004: KH > Starcraft and then Wind Waker 2004: Hayabusa > Sora 2005: Alucard > Sora 2006: Claire > Kairi Series: KH > HALO (ok that's one) 2010: Sora > Bowser and Charizard. 2010: KH> KH2 And I'm sure there are more. If KH is in anything debatable, I screw up. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. Raytan > Me |
Just for fun: Batman would have to get 54.76% on Half-Life for MMX to be equal to FFX. Halo 3 would have to get 42.50% or better on MGS4 for TLOU to be equal to KH2 (as of right now anyway). Half-Life would have to get 58.34% on Portal for FFX and SSBM to be equal (as of right now). --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Looks like no one cares about games from the late 2000s anymore. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
With TLOU looking this good against a fellow modern game. What you guys think this means for other recent critically acclaimed games? --- Dr voltchball - best in the world. http://i.minus.com/iN5ZHjUDyI547.gif |
I'm
not saying MMX even has a chance, but I can't see Batman losing to
Gordon Freeman. The match pic alone would make Arkham City win. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. Raytan > Me |
It's sad to see MGS4 that bad, but whatever, four bracket points! --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
How would you guys rate the Halo games? --- Formerly known as Dilated Chemist |
voltch posted... With TLOU looking this good against a fellow modern game. Dude. It's Halo. Also looks like Melee is dropping quickly. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |

It's impressive how badly Melee can bleed from the board vote. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
also if Portal is worth 55.50% on Halo 3 then Melee and TLOU are equal --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Rivalry
Rumble was a contest where my low propensity for risk really paid off.
Other than a gut feeling that the Red/Blue rivalry would really resonate
and be strong, I basically stuck with the board, which would have led
to a perfect battle bracket had I not gotten greedy and had just made a
straight pick on the final match. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Melee is barely beating Portal in the UK, so expect lots more bleeding. It has 73% in America though. MGS4 is beating KH2 in the UK but KH2 has 63% in America. TLOU is crushing Halo 3 in Europe but only has 63% in America --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Has Smash been historically weaker in the UK or Europe, or is Portal just really strong there? Is it just Melee or the Smash franchise? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
creativename posted... Has Smash been historically weaker in the UK or Europe, or is Portal just really strong there? Idk about Smash as a whole but the competitive fanbase is by far the biggest in the US --- RIP in Pieces GamerJM, 2007-2015. You will be missed. #UnPermabanJim |
Europe basically doesn't care about Smash. |
Here are 2 matches that showcase Melee's weakness in Europe: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/4141-east-division-round-2-smash-bros-melee-vs-morrowind http://web.archive.org/web/20101129214036/http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4141®ion=EUR http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/4169-east-division-round-3-smash-bros-melee-vs-call-of-duty-4 http://web.archive.org/web/20101215145829/http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4169®ion=EUR In both matches, Melee is noticeably weaker in Europe. The trends in this match will favor Portal during the night vote and morning vote because the Smash series is very weak in Europe. If we do see any games with a strong day vote during this contest, you can expect the Smash games to show off a strong day vote even with the ASV being non-existent. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ!

voltch posted... UK has weirdo tastes. They hate Mega Man, they are not to be trusted... |
I
don't really think Portal is that bad, I just think Melee is that good.
TLOU is coming off really impressive. The match against KHII has
potential. it's a shame GSC gets fed to Melee in round 2. Would be fun
to put it against Wind Waker or Twilight Princess. --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |
Smash is weak in Europe (and Melee especially IIRC). Magus actually won Europe against Sandbag if I recall. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
The last of us sux |
So
far, GameFAQS has gone against critical opinion
(Metacritic/GameRankings) twice, with City losing to MMX and Half-Life
losing to FFX. If everything stays like this, only KH II beating MGS4
would be a critic upset. |
creativename posted... Has Smash been historically weaker in the UK or Europe, or is Portal just really strong there? Portal is more fitting to our tastes and Smash's presence is not very strong. It's just not exposed to us, same with Megaman. --- http://i.imgur.com/wGndLtV.jpg Such a lust for revenge |
Yep.
I've ran into long-time gamers in the UK who don't even know who Mega
Man is, and Smash's profile (while fairly large) is much smaller than in
the US. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
RyoCaliente posted... So far, GameFAQS has gone against critical opinion (Metacritic/GameRankings) twice, with City losing to MMX and Half-Life losing to FFX. If everything stays like this, only KH II beating MGS4 would be a critic upset. To be fair, MetaCritic/GameRankings is absolutely useless for games, such as MMX, that were released before the internet age, so it's hard to say what was really the more critically deserving game in that match. And Half-Life/FFX had to be close in the ratings... XIII_rocks posted... creativename posted...Has Smash been historically weaker in the UK or Europe, or is Portal just really strong there? Which is sad, given that the greatest Melee player in the world is European (Armada, from Sweden). |
I'd bet it's Nintendo as a whole that is significantly weaker in the UK and Europe. --- ~*The true...goal of SeeD... To spread... seeds all over the world... ...Flower... Fill the world with flowers.*~ TheCruelAngel |
It is, Nintendo primarily wins due to America. --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |
I
just woke up and I checked the results. I have to say I didn't expected
KH 2 and Last to win that easy. Strange. Also where are the predictions
for the previous matches? --- Why do we exist?What happens when we stop existing? |
*wakes up* I find it really, really hard to believe Portal isn't way above Half-Life. GSC is looking alright, not that it matters. MGS4 fell off a cliff for GotD compared to BGEII, not surprised to see it dropping even more. Halo lol Things are looking good for Melee/CT. ...Also where can I see the bracket scores for everybody? I can't see a link to it at all. --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
SwiftyDC posted... How would you guys rate the Halo games? In terms of contest strength? Now that Game Fuel is done? Halo: CE>>3>2 --- Board 8's Voice of Reason http://i.imgur.com/chXIw06.jpg |

machinegungeek posted... RyoCaliente posted...So far, GameFAQS has gone against critical opinion (Metacritic/GameRankings) twice, with City losing to MMX and Half-Life losing to FFX. If everything stays like this, only KH II beating MGS4 would be a critic upset. MMX still has an 88.50% rating on GameRankings. Half-Life has a 96 rating on MC while FFX has 92. Half-Life is also rated higher on GR. But those critic reviews obviously look at games as a whole. FFX did a lot of new things but was still the tenth Final Fantasy, while Half-Life was this new FPS series. |
Even
though I have R/B in the Finals, I still feel as if FF7 is the game
that would get the highest %age in a direct 1v1 match vs. OoT. Among people who *don't* have FF7 in the final, is there anyone who disagrees with that? Are there people who think others games could in "raw" terms be stronger than FF7 now? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
But I don't get it, if Portal is getting weaker, wasn't GlaDOS pretty strong in the last character contest? --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |

Fads do die pretty quickly Though portal itself is a well respected game. --- Dr voltchball - best in the world. http://i.minus.com/iN5ZHjUDyI547.gif |
So does TLOS doubling Halo 3 give it any chance against KH2? In my head i had it down as a 55-60% win at best. --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/330/958/a5b.gif |
