GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1195
pjbasis posted... Winner of Xenoblade/DKC2 takes the fourpack. I find it surprising everyone's writing off Mario Maker. It's probably my GotY, the only other game in the discussion is MGSV. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
yeah and we saw how much MGSV helped out MGS4 Mario Maker is a Wii U game --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
TTYD is just taunting ToS now --- BGE3: Today's Matches FFVI>ACII, PM:TTYD>ToS, SW:KotOR>Xenogears, LoZ:WW>Pokemon XY Points 6/8 |
I think it's just too new and on a system a relatively few amount of people own. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
LeonhartFour posted... yeah and we saw how much MGSV helped out MGS4 So's Xenoblade, which you have beating one of the consensus best SNES games for some unknown reason. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
so 23 hours left, 12 updates per hour, plus 3 more this hour. that's about 290 updates. 290 x 12 + 250 vote deficit = 3730 vote win for paper mario. perfect science. now to hit reload --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
TOS PLEASE just go home, you're drunk --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
What's the biggest vote difference that TTYD/ToS can get to where it becomes insurmountable? --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
ToS isn't drunk it's having iced coffee --- Welcome to the League of raytan, CBIX Guru winner! http://backloggery.com/articuno2001/sig.gif |
Eddv posted... _Dog posted...Eddv posted..._Dog posted...DaruniaTheGoron posted...Yeah I'm not concerned for R/B at all. X/Y is new and a lot of the nostalgia fans don't care for it. Combined with SFF it's not that surprising. And Pokemon will certainly rise from here. Completely untested in these contests. The only thing we have is being runner-up for Game of the Year, which could very well be the strength of Skyrim rather than SS's weakness. The same poll had Pokemon B/W getting smacked, however. It would never be tripled by WW though. So either we're really overestimating RBY and GSC (and the blowout it had was all due to TWEWY's weakness), or they're powered purely by nostalgia, especially if OoT gets beaten in the finals. --- 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. |
Articuno2001 posted... ToS isn't drunk I'm not falling for this one again Lloyd --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
So
looking at tomorrow... Smash U and FF7 will be free. Halo should happen
as long as we don't get the ultimate Minecraft rally of the century.
The only slightly questionable one is SMG2 > ME1, which was still the
heavy favorite. Most likely 16/16 after tomorrow. And then Portal 2/Sonic 2 is the first real coin flip? --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
_Dog posted...
Ya don't know about that --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
What's the biggest vote difference that TTYD/ToS can get to where it becomes insurmountable? With these vote totals and similar trends, I'd give it a few hundred more. --- BGE3: Today's Matches FFVI>ACII, PM:TTYD>ToS, SW:KotOR>Xenogears, LoZ:WW>Pokemon XY Points 6/8 |
About what time would you say bracket vote peters out? Surely at this point PM isn't winning updates from bracket votes. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Team Rocket Elite posted... I like how the updated randomly recorded a middle update so the 21 vote loss turned into two small losses. Which match is this for? --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... LeonhartFour posted...yeah and we saw how much MGSV helped out MGS4 Xenoblade is a Wii game not a Wii U game. If you think DKC2 is even halfway decent in strength, it's going to run over the four pack. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
DaruniaTheGoron posted... About what time would you say bracket vote peters out? Surely at this point PM isn't winning updates from bracket votes. Bracket vote is done, at this point ToS is banking on TTYD having an ever so slightly stronger Power Hour I'm thinking. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
I'd
give it 30 more minutes based on contest history. by 1:30 Tales should
start moving for sure if it's serious at all about competing. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
i'm gonna laugh if Xenogears starts cutting and ToS doesn't --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |
ToS
will eventually stop the bleeding. Lose an update by 3 votes, lose the
next by two, the next is just a tie, everyone will be convinced it will
win an update. Then it will lose an update by 100+ --- Board 8's Greatest Beard Band - Chairmen of the Beard http://www.youtube.com/BeardAwesome |
Where
is this DKC2 chatter coming from? Xenoblade will take that match and
after the sequel comes out, Xenoblade is running all the way to the
Division Finald! --- Yay - Raytan is the guru champion of awesomeness. |
from
being on par with SMW and SMB3 in quality if not better and maybe this
time voters will realize it without any Mario games in the poll --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |
Vote distribution from the first 2 days of the contest showing the percentage of the final vote total at certain points in time: Time | Day 1 | Day 2 1:00 AM | 9.37% | 10.45% 3:00 AM | 19.22% | 21.69% 6:00 AM | 28.27% | 32.00% 9:00 AM | 40.77% | 45.99% 12:00 PM | 57.19% | 60.99% 6:00 PM | 81.59% | 83.84% I pointed out that Day 2 was more frontloaded from the start. We had almost 61% of the total votes at the 12 hour mark in yesterday's matches, while this was only about 57% for Day 1. The vote distribution from Day 2 seems to be more similar to what I've noticed in the regular polls. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Im expecting most of us will be 11/12 by today. Ugh we need more wrong predictions. Hopefully the next division will screw things up. |
Yesterday's trend charts: Time | SSBM | Portal | Votes | Demographic EBV | 75.18% | 24.82% | 677 | (0:00-0:05) PHV | 71.79% | 28.21% | 3797 | (0:00-1:00) FNV | 66.23% | 33.77% | 7786 | (1:00-6:00) BSV | 64.79% | 35.21% | 5061 | (6:00-9:00) DSV | 67.24% | 32.76% | 9229 | (9:00-14:30) ASV | 69.08% | 30.92% | 8631 | (14:30-22:00) SNV | 69.56% | 30.44% | 1672 | (22:00-24:00) This was the only match with wacky trends, with Melee's crazy board vote and Power Hour, and it actually showed some semblance of an ASV. Time | G/S/C | TWEWY | Votes | Demographic EBV | 76.55% | 23.45% | 661 | (0:00-0:05) PHV | 78.30% | 21.70% | 3738 | (0:00-1:00) FNV | 75.21% | 24.79% | 7684 | (1:00-6:00) BSV | 75.90% | 24.10% | 4967 | (6:00-9:00) DSV | 77.17% | 22.83% | 9035 | (9:00-14:30) ASV | 77.14% | 22.86% | 8454 | (14:30-22:00) SNV | 76.05% | 23.95% | 1662 | (22:00-24:00) About what you'd expect. Strong Power Hour and day vote for Pokemon. TWEWY's best time was at night, naturally. Time | MGS4 | KHII | Votes | Demographic EBV | 38.60% | 61.40% | 658 | (0:00-0:05) PHV | 39.50% | 60.50% | 3689 | (0:00-1:00) FNV | 41.48% | 58.52% | 7604 | (1:00-6:00) BSV | 41.90% | 58.10% | 4950 | (6:00-9:00) DSV | 41.51% | 58.49% | 9025 | (9:00-14:30) ASV | 41.38% | 58.62% | 8451 | (14:30-22:00) SNV | 40.91% | 59.09% | 1650 | (22:00-24:00) This was a pretty static match beyond the Power Hour, with KH2 slowly creeping upward once we got past the morning vote. Time | Last of Us | Halo 3 | Votes | Demographic EBV | 65.59% | 34.41% | 648 | (0:00-0:05) PHV | 64.41% | 35.59% | 3633 | (0:00-1:00) FNV | 68.87% | 31.13% | 7494 | (1:00-6:00) BSV | 69.45% | 30.55% | 4887 | (6:00-9:00) DSV | 67.44% | 32.56% | 8931 | (9:00-14:30) ASV | 66.71% | 33.29% | 8291 | (14:30-22:00) SNV | 66.65% | 33.35% | 1619 | (22:00-24:00) Last of Us rocks the night vote and Halo uses its neutered day vote to bring the percentage down a bit during the day. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
that fourpack isn't even happening until a week from now! I'd laugh if Hearthstone somehow got rallied over OoT |
Korayashi posted... ToS will eventually stop the bleeding. Lose an update by 3 votes, lose the next by two, the next is just a tie, everyone will be convinced it will win an update. He's a witch, get 'im --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
haha this is the best match Symphonia just can't get it up --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
obviously symphonia is going to just take off after the power hour ends and paper mario crumples --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
Guess I better go into hiding before the 100+ update for TTYD prophecy happens. >_> --- Board 8's Greatest Beard Band - Chairmen of the Beard http://www.youtube.com/BeardAwesome |
Symphonia actually just tied that update right? I really hope this keeps up and ToS somehow never wins an update despite only losing each one by 0-20 or something. --- This was my signature, but Raytan, 2013 Guru champion, took it away. |
okay there's a tie can symphonia just decide if it wants to cut now so i can pay less attention to this match --- sig pssssssssssst - http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/568795-soccer-challenge |
-hotdogturtle-- posted... So looking at tomorrow... Smash U and FF7 will be free. Halo should happen as long as we don't get the ultimate Minecraft rally of the century. The only slightly questionable one is SMG2 > ME1, which was still the heavy favorite. About Minecraft. The rally strength would only need to be miniscule to beat Halo. The sheer amount of bodies the Minecraft community can throw at this is staggering. I have MC in my bracket, and see no reason to be concerned. There will be a rally, and that should be all it needs. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak PSN ID - Kudaark Steam Name : skaalfa |
cyko posted... Where is this DKC2 chatter coming from? Xenoblade will take that match and after the sequel comes out, Xenoblade is running all the way to the Division Finald! Right, because obscure Board 8 nominated weeaboo garbage has been doing so great, and classic SNES games have been doing so poorly. o wate --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |

What do SNES classics have to do with DKC2 --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
dammit symphonia --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |

I am so certain DKC2 is going to win that I see no sense in even talking about it. --- Board 8's Voice of Reason http://i.imgur.com/chXIw06.jpg |
Burn the witch --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
gamefaqscontests.com stopped updating. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
cn's site didn't seem to catch that last update. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Yeah, it's broken. I can't even trigger a manual update, so I just started my tracking scripts. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
updater has had enough of symphonia's nonsense too --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
