Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1196
Yeah the Paper Mario/Tales match is stupidly fun to watch. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
Yo, how come Tales is ruining my spread betting picks? Roll over and die already, I need to you lose to Paper Mario to a higher percentage. You too, Xenogears. Well at least I'm getting 4 points today. I think. |
Both matches are being held up by Asia and Europe they'll die soon --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/330/958/a5b.gif |
Looks like Paper Mario's picking back up, lead's back to 449. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy IX - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3729662 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
map trends make this look over. we'll see, but yeah. Mario has always had a good morning. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
Any chance of KOTOR getting to 55% ? My spread betting depends on it. |
in any other year I'd say yes but trends seem pretty dead this year. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
What
Nanis said is really not useful for the contest. Whatever the Pokemon
community thinks of XY and ORAS doesn't matter at all. First of all,
they're not gonna suddenly not support the franchise in general because
of being disappointed with the latest games. Secondly and most
importantly, RBY and to a lesser extent GSC, doesn't get their main
power from that community, but the nostalgia. A lot of gamefaqs users
grew up with those games, the newer games doesn't matter at all in
relation. XY is probably the most well received game among casuals for a
while perhaps do to the well created hype. Now I don't know what some
hardcore group of fans say, but they don't matter much in the long run.
XY is still high on the top 100 list here. I don't think ORAS was viewed
as disappointing as suggested, but that's not important. Comparing
Pokemon now to Other M is ridiculous. Maybe after RSE originally, but
otherwise never. Other M was terribly received from the start among
fans and casuals alike. XY nor Origins wasn't even out when the 2013
rolled. Bottom line, the hardcore Pokemon community doesn't matter for the general strength of Pokemon. They'll support the franchise in general whichever part of them comes here. RBY wasn't strong in general ever because of recent opinions on newer Pokemon games, but because of the place it has in the hearts of average gamers that grew up with it. --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
The
pokemon community has some really weird opinions. Judging from them
every individual game is s*** for some reason, old games are unplayable,
new games are unplayable, casuals are the worst, competitive gamers are
the worst, people who don't play pokemon as an e-sport deserve to die,
people who do deserve to die, and any of the 6 gens was the low point of
the franchise, if not all of them. I tried to go in the ORAS forum and create a poll to see what they thought about the contest and got this: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/792673-pokemon-omega-ruby/72768486 Like... just read the posts. I still believe X/Y is more popular than the last 3 gens, but trying to understand how the pokemon community thinks is futile. Specially the one on gameFAQs, which seems to be composed 90% of trolls.

So maybe X/Y is Twilight Princess...except TP was actually hugely popular here, whoops. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
oh man do I hate Pokemon or just game boards, either way --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
Maybe Chrono Cross would be a better comparison...or maybe not. Want to ask a dumb question: what would you rather do, watch Jurassic World four times in a row or play through Metroid: Other M from start to finish in one sitting? --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |

Thanks for that, tranny. I've thought FF3/6 and LoZ:WW would be close before the contest...still think it, but I don't see what's gonna make FF3/6 lose yet unless a Wii U port matters enough. Really expected AC2 to look better than this. --- M E N: nominate Metal Man in 20XX! http://i.imgur.com/Dr4NAeq.png |

OrangeCrush980 posted... What are the odds of Tales of Symphonia making a comeback? Not good (check out the results by region). I mean, Tales really hung in there and stalled Paper Mario for a good 8 or 9 hours, but the match is slipping away and I don't see where we're going to get more Tales votes from, based on the map. --- http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr263/crypto_magnum/Polycosm_sig.jpg |
What are the odds of Tales of Symphonia making a comeback? Unless it makes a move now to decisively win the day vote this is over. --- BGE3: Today's Matches FFVI>ACII, PM:TTYD>ToS, SW:KotOR>Xenogears, LoZ:WW>Pokemon XY Points 6/8 |
Would
you look at that, ToS and Xenogears are declining now. Looks like the
daytime is killing them. Even Wind Waker seems to have begun to reverse
its decline. Meanwhile FFVI is declining itself, so it's probably just being the same old night stud it used to be. The trends in FFVI/WW will be fun. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
Surskit posted... XY in the same vein as other M and we all know it I compared ORAS to Other M, not XY (Not like it matters as people will still not agree with this comprasion, but still) --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
Ex-Kefiroth posted... So with all the retro-fear now being fully realized, what's the consensus on Super Metroid v SMG? I have a feeling that Super Metroid has strength, it's just that we haven't seen it in previous contests due to SFF. In terms of "best game ever" status I'd say Super Metroid is the clear winner. If SMG2 fails to outright beat Mass Effect then Super Metroid has a good shot on Mario Galaxy Also on the topic of Pokemon, just look at the picture. If you haven't played XY you'll have no idea who those Pokemon are and you'll automatically pick Wind Waker. AC2 is a lot more recognizable. The series might have hate but does anyone honestly believe people will anti-vote AC2 if it means picking a game they don't even recognize? --- http://img.imgcake.com/whatisurnameplz/kermitgifre.gif Oh yea, I guess raytan won. (edited 11/7/2015 7:41:19 AM)report |
I was assuming the modern pokemon community would be a bigger thing, with the competitive scene and all. Looks like it's not, at least for gameFAQs contest standards. (edited 11/7/2015 7:50:00 AM)report |
Pokemon sometimes seem to do really poorly when Zelda shows up. Compare: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/3267-division-6-round-1-mewtwo-ness-pac-man-travis http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/3287-division-6-round-2-cloud-midna-mewtwo-pac-man Pokemon looked really good in 2010. Pikachu got 45% on Solid ****, Missingno. rallied to beating Crono and Yoshi and did great on Sephiroth, and Charizard beat Bowser and bandwagoned to a shocking performance on Mario. 2013 suggests Mewtwo could easily be the strongest Pokemon. What happened to him in 2010? http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/3740-chaos-division-round-1-ganondorf-vs-mewtwo And while people laughed at Charizard losing to LFFed Mega Man, that probably wasn't even its most embarrassing performance. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/5251-character-battle-ix-division-9-round-2-zelda-vs-dk-vs A lot of people might count Majora's Mask > GSC too but that's not really fair given what MM later did. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Yea
people seem to forget GSC finished 7th in the X-stats. With different
bracket placement it might have won its division at least. --- http://img.imgcake.com/whatisurnameplz/kermitgifre.gif Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
Big cut for Tales there. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak PSN ID - Kudaark Steam Name : skaalfa |
Yeah.
It sucks that modern Pokemon is so popular, even on this website, but
it never amounts to s*** in these contests. No pity for X/Y though
since it's an overrated turd that's only popular since its the first
paired versions of the current gen. Remember when everyone loved
Black/White, now it probably didn't even come close to qualifying. --- "Max... I'll always be with you. Forever..." |
Nanis23 posted... I compared ORAS to Other M, not XY other M: abysmal series-ruining game that has effectively mopped the floor with metroid's decades-long untarnished reputation or/as: remake of the least-liked generation of pokemon. not even a mainline game. in case you wanted to further understand why nobody agrees with your comparison --- .-#Elements of Water#-. |
2010: HG/SS 2011: BW 2012: BW II 2013: XY 2014: OR/AS If yearly releases (or close to it) that leave no lasting impact are damaging to Batman, Assassin's Creed, and Call of Duty, why not modern Pokemon? --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] (edited 11/7/2015 8:30:39 AM)report |

If
Other M is an abysmal game, then every Star Wars after The Empire
Strikes Back, Top Gun, and the sequels to Back to the Future, Die Hard,
and Jurassic Park are even more abysmal movies. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil (edited 11/7/2015 8:55:36 AM)report |
Wait, who didn't like ORAS? How are those even getting compared to Garbage M. --- raytan stepped on me in the guru contest. |
I
decided to look at some geolocation stats. The 14 most voted nations
are Australia, Brazil, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico,
Netherlands, New Zealand, Philippines, Sweden, United Kingdom and the
United States. The average support is the average from the 14 nations. Chrono Trigger vs. Ratchet & Clank UYA (85.85% - 14.15%) Nations for Chrono Trigger: 14 Nations for Ratchet & Clank UYA: 0 Most Support: Mexico (95.97%) Least Support: New Zealand (68.63%) Average: 84.90% Unsurprisingly Chrono Trigger swept all 14 nations. Chrono Trigger did best in Latin America with Mexico and Brazil giving the most support. Oceania was the worst region for Chrono Trigger along with Finland and the United Kingdom where Chrono Trigger only finished at around the mid-70s. Dragon Quest VIII vs. Persona 3 (54.72% - 45.28% Nations for Dragon Quest VIII: 12 Nations for Persona 3: 2 (Finland, Philippines) Most Support: Netherlands (61.68%) Least Support: Philippines (34.80%) Average: 53.63% Most nations had Dragon Quest VIII in the mid-50s. Mexico and New Zealand had Dragon Quest VIII over 59% while the Netherlands was the only nation above 60%. Scandinavia had more support for Persona 3 where Finland went with Persona 3 and Sweden barely went Dragon Quest VIII. Persona 3’s strongest performance was in the Philippines and Asia in general. Mega Man X vs. Batman: Arkham City (60.68% - 39.32%) Nations for Mega Man X: 10 Nations for Batman: Arkham City: 4 (Australia, Italy, New Zealand, United Kingdom) Most Support: Mexico (78.73%) Least Support: United Kingdom (40.48%) Average: 59.96% Despite finishing with a higher percent than DQ8 Mega Man X had fewer nations supporting it. Mega Man actually does well in Europe except in the United Kingdom where about half of Europe’s votes come from. Latin America loves Mega Man X as they both had the game above 70% while Oceania went with Batman with New Zealand almost equalling UK’s percent on Mega Man X. Final Fantasy X vs. Half-Life (64.42% - 35.58%) Nations for Final Fantasy X: 14 Nations for Half-Life: 0 Most Support: Philippines (75.94%) Least Support: Mexico (59.53%) Average: 65.45% The average support between the 14 nations almost equals to what FFX got. Philippines has always been a big fan of Final Fantasy X, but honourable mentions goes to New Zealand and Germany for breaking 70%. Sweden was beaten by 0.03% for worst support as they were the only two nations to finish below 60%. --- BGE3: Today's Matches FFVI>ACII, PM:TTYD>ToS, SW:KotOR>Xenogears, LoZ:WW>Pokemon XY Points 6/8 (edited 11/7/2015 8:57:33 AM)report |
Super Smash Bros. Melee vs. Portal (67.71% - 32.29%) Nations for Super Smash Bros. Melee: 13 Nations for Portal: 1 (Italy) Most Support: Mexico (75.93%) Least Support: Italy (49.33%) Average: 60.87% SSBM has always been a great example of the US vs. the world. The United States finished second behind Mexico for most support while Canada finished in fourth. With the exception of the Netherlands whom surprisingly had the third most support Europe doesn’t care about the game as Melee lost in Italy while it got under 55% in Finland, France and the United Kingdom. Oceania also doesn’t care for Smash while it did okay in the Philippines, but that could be due to the weakness of Portal. Pokemon GSC vs. The World Ends With You (76.63% - 23.37%) Nations for Pokemon GSC: 14 Nations for The World Ends With You: 0 Most Support: Netherlands (79.36%) Least Support: Italy (60.37%) Average: 72.69% Pokemon GSC was quite polarizing in Europe; Finland, Netherlands and the United Kingdom all had around what Pokemon GSC got overall while the other four nations had Pokemon GSC failing to break 70%. Outside of Europe the percent didn’t differ too much as all of the other nations finished within the 70s. Kingdom Hearts II vs. Metal Gear Solid 4 (58.71% - 41.29%) Nations for Kingdom Hearts II: 11 Nations for Metal Gear Solid 4: 3 (Italy, Mexico, United Kingdom) Most Support: United States (61.69%) Least Support: Italy (43.69%) Average: 54.45% It’s quite interesting to see the United States at one of the extremes since they account for so many votes. The Netherlands was the other nation to have over 60% support for KHII. Most of the other nations finished at around the mid-50s though KHII barely won in Finland The Last of Us vs. Halo 3 (67.50% - 32.50%) Nations for The Last of Us: 14 Nations for Halo 3: 0 Most Support: Philippines (84.64%) Least Support: United States (63.97%) Average: 74.24% It looks like only the United States kept this respectable; they were the only nation to finish under 67.50% support. While the Philippines took top honours for most support, outside of the United Kingdom Europe had a lot of support for The Last of Us including a tripling in France, Germany, Italy and Sweden. --- BGE3: Today's Matches FFVI>ACII, PM:TTYD>ToS, SW:KotOR>Xenogears, LoZ:WW>Pokemon XY Points 6/8 |
