GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1195
ACII is no UYA holy s*** --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
bet on Tales games in 2015 brehs --- Communists |
FF6
clearly falls after the early vote here, but if it puts up a dominating
performance, alongside Chrono Trigger, then I think we need to treat
this as an old Square boost until something proves it wrong. --- xyzzy |
I'm seeing FFVI with 81% is this a glitch --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Lol FFVI is blasting the hell out of Assassin's Creed II. Deserved destruction IMO. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
Looks
like I was right to go big on FFVI in the Oracle. I had a strong
feeling that AC2 was going to be weaker in 2015 compared to 2010. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
ZFS posted... LeonhartFour posted...also FFVI what a beast It's almost as if its... i dunno, returning to 2004 trends --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
Of course VI is going to end up with about 83-85% at the end I think. It's definitely a beast. --- Video Games are pretty cool. |

Where does the Old Square boost end? FFX? --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Holy Final Fantasy VI. I mean yes it probably has a strong board vote and yes we all new it was going to win, but it's making AC2 look like fodder at the moment. --- This was my signature, but Raytan, 2013 Guru champion, took it away. |
So, how about that BlowoutFAQs? --- BGE3: Today's Matches FFVI>ACII, PM:TTYD>ToS, SW:KotOR>Xenogears, LoZ:WW>Pokemon XY Points 6/8 |
FF10 is not Old Square! --- satoru iwata (edited 11/6/2015 9:05:05 PM)report |
And Pokemon getting its doors blown off lmao --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
pjbasis posted... And Pokemon getting its doors blown off lmao The LAW bringing order to chaos. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
I've always treated old Square as ff4-6, chrono trigger, and ff9 oddly enough but I don't know that ff9 benefits from this --- xyzzy |
I mean is FFX the cutoff point where there's no boost? Is this up through PS1 or does it stop with FFVI and CT? Because Xenogears looks pretty good! --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
I
don't think KOTOR or even TTYD are safe yet, honestly. Board vote
disproportionately matters now, and that's usually a bracket vote. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Assassin's Creed II likely has a terrible board vote (FFVI also has a good one IIRC) Also poor Pokemon XY --- BGE3: Today's Matches FFVI>ACII, PM:TTYD>ToS, SW:KotOR>Xenogears, LoZ:WW>Pokemon XY Points 6/8 |
xp1337 posted... pjbasis posted...And Pokemon getting its doors blown off lmao Nintendo fans understand the hierarchy --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
This is probably the most boring day so far. All 4 clear winners winning, no big surprises on the percentages. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
Pokemon XY = turd of the round? --- Ole, ole, ole, ole. Ole! Ole! (Accents and inverted !-marks missing) On a bet with three other users on if a certain girl genie will be in Smash; I say no. |
Blowouts
everywhere, again. Is DQVIII/Persona 3 the only match that is remotely
close to what X-Stats suggest? Everything else seems to be a bigger
blowout than expected. --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima raytan: Champ without picking the champ |
smb3 > r/b/y more likely now? |
Oh and also I don't think Xenogears has anything. I'm expecting it to fall off hard after the first half hour or so. --- This was my signature, but Raytan, 2013 Guru champion, took it away. (edited 11/6/2015 9:07:26 PM)report |
Karma Hunter posted... I don't think KOTOR or even TTYD are safe yet, honestly. Board vote disproportionately matters now, and that's usually a bracket vote. Yeah, I'm not entirely counting out Symphonia yet. It gained a few percent there before the freeze and the board vote almost certainly favors Mario. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
This
is the first day of matches where the leftmost match isn't the highest
voted match right now. Wind Waker/XY has one vote more than FFVI/AC2. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Metal_DK posted... smb3 > r/b/y more likely now? Nah, hard to get anything out of this. It's Zelda, and new Pokemon. --- http://i.imgur.com/dpIEizf.gif |
I'd
like FFVI to chill out though. My bracket relies on Zelda winning
whenever I could even see the slightest crack in the door, and that
means Wind Waker here. looks like i picked the wrong strategy --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |

Yeah
I don't like all these blowouts though. I mean it's surprisingly
unexpected but sheesh the voters seem to have their preferences really
lined up. I think that's the biggest sign of a fairly homogenous userbase. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |

Sorozone posted... Metal_DK posted...smb3 > r/b/y more likely now? Pokemon getting slammed this bad certainly does not help Pokemon's case at all. If I'm not mistaken, XY has gotten more respect than the previous three generations. And I would attribute FFVI's blowout partly to AC now being hated in this site. --- Ole, ole, ole, ole. Ole! Ole! (Accents and inverted !-marks missing) On a bet with three other users on if a certain girl genie will be in Smash; I say no. |
Metal_DK posted... smb3 > r/b/y more likely now? I've been saying it for years and people still don't listen. If it aint RBY, it's not worth a damn. Does anyone even play Pokemon games anymore? I mean, that's expected when they just rehash the same goddamn formula for 20 years. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
A
lot of these new games are running into the old guard and getting beat
into the ground. Given the audience that has stuck around through
GameFAQs's downsizing, that feels about right. That was what I was
talking about pre-contest, anyway. --- satoru iwata |
LeonhartFour posted... didn't you learn from the first Games Contest no. i don't learn from my mistakes. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
ya, FFVI should of expected this, especially in the first 10 minutes of the match vs AC. |
Not much change overall, looks like we're done --- BGE3: Today's Matches FFVI>ACII, PM:TTYD>ToS, SW:KotOR>Xenogears, LoZ:WW>Pokemon XY Points 6/8 |
It will be close, but I believe in KOTOR for keeping my 12/12 bracket. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
Yeah I don't get why people thought XY was going to be strong, it's pretty divided amongst the fanbase. FF6 is putting a ridiculous number but AC has been on the decline for years now. |
yeah people are tired of the AC series, they made too many of them and it doesn't help with how bad Unity was. --- ... |
Xenogears is probably out of it. I'll give it one more update but yeah. nice try though! I like Symphonia's chances to make a match of it though. --- xyzzy |
Down to 18 zero brackets already. --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima raytan: Champ without picking the champ |
transience posted...
this is unnecessary --- satoru iwata |
Bleh,
Xenogears is probably out of it. Both of those are Top 50 games for me
(!!!) so no hard feelings there, but I would have liked to see it make a
match. Symphonia... is hanging around. If it doesn't let TTYD go too crazy it could do something. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Pokemon series doesn't get its strength from the rabid fans still playing the game. Pokemon series gets strength from nostalgia. "The REAL pokemon fans like it better" does not mean that much. |
transience posted... Xenogears is probably out of it. I'll give it one more update but yeah. nice try though! Eh, a game with as strong a board vote as Fails does, up against a Mario game. This is a great example of the AVF (Apathetic Voter Factor). I'm sure that TTYD/ToS would be one of those polls with really garbage votals in a normal contest setting, so TTYD benefits from the Mario name in this format. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
swirIdude posted... Down to 18 zero brackets already. damn I should've made one (I probably would've failed though lol) |
GSC a 90% bracket favorite. Melee and TLOU at around 75% KH2 at 56% --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
