Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1194
creativename posted... 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. Probably true unless there exists a game that could rSFF OoT. I don't think such a game exists though, given that the obvious possibilities of RBY and Melee got destroyed in this poll: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/3504-contest-quarterfinal-zelda-oot-pokemon-ssbm-ffx --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
shane15 posted... 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. Not particularly. Halo 3 wasn't really any strong back in Game of the Decade, and since then the series has fallen even further off all the cliffs. --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer.

Am I blind or is there no link to the GOTD stats on Ngamer's site? http://thengamer.com/xstats/ Are these stats up anywhere? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Thanks Luster. Are those the same stats Leon etc. use? LordoftheMorons posted... creativename posted...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. Well, let's take away the SFF by indirectly estimating via a "neutral" game. Say put SM64 against RE4 or MGS or Skyrim, then put the latter against OoT. You'd get a reasonable reading of SM64 or R/B against OoT. FF7 would probably be able to display it's real strength vs. one of those very strong neutral games, for that matter. Those aren't the Power Hour powerhouses that typically get rallied/bandwagoned. Does anybody think FF7 wouldn't be #2? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
jeeze, I had forgotten how awful Halo was overnight. I wonder if the reverse starts to happen soon. regarding FF7 - if you're talking 'natural' strength then probably, though I think RBY may have an argument there even in a match vs. OOT. but if you're talking pure percentage, any number of games could end up going high. if Chrono Trigger makes the final, for example, I could see there being a bit of a bandwagon there. and if a rallyable game gets there, the sky's the limit. --- xyzzy |

True, but that's quite a deficit to make up. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Godamn it I have MGS4 getting to round 3. That's the result of having no idea how strong individual MGS games are. Last ofUs is delivering a cool blowout, though. |
Melee is still bleeding percent ? Joke trends confirmed ! |
Those
matches are all looking much more reasonable now, with the exception of
Last of Us. That is one hell of an impressive performance. Upset
potential against KH2? Probably not, but I'd love to see it. |
creativename posted... Are those the same stats Leon etc. use? Leon was using those stats to show that DQVIII was the likely winner, yeah. --- Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta |
Worth noting that the GotD X-Stats also have MGS4 > KHII, BTW >_> --- Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta |
But we all knew full well that MGS4 has been dropping like a rock. Also I think Ulti said in his PCA that Melee bled like 6% against Call of Duty in GOTD, looks like it's doing something similar here against Portal. I can already imagine an epic CT/Melee matchup where CT uses the night vote to make a huge comeback. Although maybe trends don't work that way anymore, sadface. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil (edited 11/6/2015 4:44:34 AM)report |
Well, it should. Europe and America still sleep at times. --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |
I'm
starting to get worried that KH2 might be in danger next round. KH2
should be able to beat Last of Us, right? Though I have a tough time
seeing KH2 doing 68% on a Halo game... --- http://steamsignature.com/card/0/76561197979294707.png |
So... were yesterday's votals considered good? Better or worse than 2013? Just curious. |
2Dover3D posted... I'm starting to get worried that KH2 might be in danger next round. KH2 should be able to beat Last of Us, right? Though I have a tough time seeing KH2 doing 68% on a Halo game... Halo is probably quite weak nowadays. But if KH2 keeps dropping and Last of Us stays stable or continues climbing, this will certaintly look possible. |
2Dover3D posted... I'm starting to get worried that KH2 might be in danger next round. KH2 should be able to beat Last of Us, right? Though I have a tough time seeing KH2 doing 68% on a Halo game... KH2 got like 63% on Halo 2 in GOTD. The series is weaker now, and if KH dropped then MGS4 REALLY dropped, which admittedly isn't entirely out of the question. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
Averia posted... 2Dover3D posted...I'm starting to get worried that KH2 might be in danger next round. KH2 should be able to beat Last of Us, right? Though I have a tough time seeing KH2 doing 68% on a Halo game... Yep. TLOU is looking like a slight favorite |
Well, KH>FF9 is looking impossible now. screwed that up. --- sharp. distance. |
I
don't think KH2 dropped too much, but the match will depend on how much
Halo 3 has dropped. It would have to be significant, if Halo 3 = 2010
Halo 2 then TLoU is going to give Melee a run (personally I would take
Halo 3 > Halo 2) I don't think Halo's match against Minecraft will
tell us much unless it ends up losing without a rally. --- BGE3: Today's Matches SSBM>Portal, Pokemon GSC>TWEWY, KHII>MGS4, TLoU>Halo 3 Points 2/4 |
Well, KH>FF9 is looking impossible now. screwed that up. Why? KH2 is looking pretty good, if anything after writing SW: KotOR/Xenogears I feel less confident in FF9>KH --- BGE3: Today's Matches SSBM>Portal, Pokemon GSC>TWEWY, KHII>MGS4, TLoU>Halo 3 Points 2/4 |
If
Portal 2 does well against Sonic or win, would this show that Portal
didn't weaken and so that Melee is doing pretty good ? Or can we imagine
Portal dropped but Portal 2 didn't ? |
Portal
has recovered quite nicely overnight. Assuming Melee doesn't go too
crazy during the day I would say Portal has weathered the storm well
over the past 5 years. Since we never knew Portal 2's strength it's difficult to say whether it has dropped or not. If you expect Portal 2 to be at around equal to Portal I would still give it a great chance against Sonic 2 (the game got 34% against Final Fantasy VI in 2009) --- BGE3: Today's Matches SSBM>Portal, Pokemon GSC>TWEWY, KHII>MGS4, TLoU>Halo 3 Points 2/4 |
Sucks to see how far Halo has fallen here :( especially since Halo 3 was by far the best game in the series. Halo 5 is however quite good. If you liked the older Halo trilogy but didn't want to play 4, I highly recommend that you get Halo 5 at some point and give it a shot. EDIT: and no Halo 4's story is not that important. You need to know 4-5 salient facts and that's about it. Halo 5 on the other hand is really setting up some great characters for Halo 6. --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever.

The
Last of Us performance is making me feel better about picking it
against KHII. I think KHII will win it, but it should be an interesting
match. --- http://stream1.gifsoup.com/webroot/animatedgifs6/3273162_o.gif |
I took TLOU to Round 3 as well. I had a feeling it would be stronger than many expected. I think KHII should still be the favorite, but today's results definitely don't make me feel bad about my pick. Portal recovered a ton of percentage overnight, damn. I do think Portal 2 will be stronger to some extent, so I feel okay about taking it to R3. Sonic 2 pulling the upset would be amazing, though, even if it would hurt my bracket. It's just a much better game. --- JAK The Character Battle IX people's champ. |
Last
of Us is being set up for success here, facing a western shooter. it
looks nice here but I think placing it up against a well-liked entry
from a big series will expose it. hopefully it wins though because screw
kingdom hearts. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
hey Leon, we always make a good tag team on this. let's make up some numbers for xstat purposes. Melee - 53% GSC - 47% KH2 - 54% LOU - 46% Melee - 54% KH2 - 46% what's the division look like? --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
Julian_Caesar posted... Sucks to see how far Halo has fallen here :( especially since Halo 3 was by far the best game in the series. I liked the original trilogy AND Halo 4, but I haven't bought 5 yet due to lack of split screen. I will eventually though. --- RIP in Pieces GamerJM, 2007-2015. You will be missed. #UnPermabanJim |
_SJimW_ posted... Julian_Caesar posted...Sucks to see how far Halo has fallen here :( especially since Halo 3 was by far the best game in the series. I find it hard to justify buying an Xbone, since Halo is the only exclusive that I have even a passing interest in playing. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
Wondering how much percentage Halo is going to bleed off of TLOU now that the Europe vote is over. --- http://img.imgcake.com/whatisurnameplz/kermitgifre.gif Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
Halo's doing pretty well in the South. That should help during the first part of the Day Vote at least. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. Congrats to CBIX Guru Winner *Raytan*! |
ZeldaTPLink posted... So... were yesterday's votals considered good? Better or worse than 2013? Just curious. The 24 hour matches from the 2013 contest were averaging about 50000 votes, not counting the matches involving Draven. So the vote totals from yesterday (about 38000 votes) are a clear step below the 2013 contest. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Where's mah Halo Reach love --- Dr voltchball - best in the world. http://i.minus.com/iN5ZHjUDyI547.gif |
If
you peg KHII and LoU at the same strength rn then Mgs4 beats Halo with
56.7% of the vote. MGS4, as much as it's lost strength, can definitely
do better than that in a real match. So far it looks like KHII is
beating LoU --- http://img.imgcake.com/whatisurnameplz/kermitgifre.gif Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
Day Vote Watch for today's matches: Melee seems to be showing some signs of trying to increase its percentage, but the overall trend is that it's not really doing much to increase its percentage. I guess the European voting block is still too large at this point for Melee to make any significant percentage gains. Maybe we'll see Melee gain more percentage later today when the Europeans go to sleep. Pokemon GSC has managed to gain some percentage since reaching a low of 76.09% at 8:45 AM. It's actually looking better than Melee with this day vote and Pokemon doesn't have the best day vote out there. Kingdom Hearts II is still losing percentage, but at a much slower rate compared to the night vote time period. Halo 3 has gained some percentage since reaching a low of 31.80% at 8:15 AM. It also been the most consistent when it comes to gaining percentage. My day vote rankings from best to worst - Halo 3 > Pokemon GSC > Melee > Kingdom Hearts II --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Portal
might have a better day vote than MGS4 and Last of Us, which would
explain why Melee has been at the same percentage. Do you have voting
trends on Portal for GotD? --- http://img.imgcake.com/whatisurnameplz/kermitgifre.gif Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
Seems like Melee and KH2 have been slowly dropping while GSC and The Last of Us stay around the same. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
It's
difficult to use GotD to look at Portal's trends because they were 12
hour matches. Portal had 4 matches in GotD - 2 night matches and 2 day
matches. Portal showed a good night vote against Gears of War 2 and
dropped off in the morning. In BGE 2009, Portal showed itself to have a good night vote and morning vote in both of its matches. It performed worst during the day vote. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
That'll
change later though. America waking up already helps Melee and KH2 a
bit compared to the night, put Europa to sleep and they should gain. I guess it's somewhat likely that the Ultimate Loser falls in this division (assuming 64 or RBY > FVII in the semis). If that ends up being MGS4, that'd be somewhat hillarious. Oot > RBY/64 > FFVII > CT/FFX > Melee > TLoU > KHII > MGS4 isn't that hard to imagine. It's possible, even if not the most likely. --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |

Mr Lasastryke posted... Worth noting that the GotD X-Stats also have MGS4 > KHII, BTW >_> Well, there are a couple of reasons to explain the disparity. The biggest one is that MGS4 has likely lost some strength since then. The other is SotC getting a bandwagon from beating MGS2 and MGS4 and overperforming by an unknown amount on MGS3. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
In Rivalry Rumble and 2013 we saw two close GLaDOS vs. Old Square matches and her day vote was only marginally better. ...So yeah, Melee should gain from here! --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Also, the discussion from earlier made me realize the X-Stats will suck if something other than FFVII or CT gets to the finals. save_us.square --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
LeonhartFour posted... Well, there are a couple of reasons to explain the disparity. The biggest one is that MGS4 has likely lost some strength since then. Sure, but this does show that your sarcastic "LOL X-STATS THEY'RE SO TERRIBLE GUYS" post in the Contest Analysis Crew topic after DQVIII won wasn't really warranted. Don't think anyone will argue that the X-Stats are ALWAYS wrong, but they're not exactly infallible either. --- Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta |
KHII
is starting to come around with the day vote over the past 30 minutes
or so. Melee is still struggling quite a bit with getting its day vote
going. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |

thanks.
I'm having a hard time reconciling Last of Us over MGS4 but I might
need to get used to it. much lower and I start to see things like Halo 3
= TWEWY and that's scary. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
