Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1197
It'll be kinda easy to spot a rally if we see one match start spiking above the others. Well, assuming they only vote for one match anyway. Maybe they won't. It'd be kind of interesting to see what effect a rally would have when we're running multiple matches a day. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

"Two different Smash Bros. games knocked out Portal AND Planescape: Torment? Can't be bovvered." Dammit Smash you're gonna make me lose. --- http://img.imgcake.com/whatisurnameplz/kermitgifre.gif Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
Super Mario Galaxy 2 by the hour: 1:00 | 53.61% 2:00 | 48.05% That's a dropoff from the first to 2nd hour of more than 5%. Based on Shepard/Sandbag 2008, Mass Effect wins with 50.03%. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |

ME needs to go up 800-1000 to be fairly comfortable if Paper Mario is any indication. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
The problem here is that we barely have a day vote anymore. ME1 could walk into the day with a 200 vote lead and still win. Will be an interesting match to test trends for, though. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
man ME1 you gotta stop randomly dying on updates you know what Galaxy 2 is getting every update --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
well **** --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima raytan: Champ without picking the champ |
Does
anyone think Mass Effect and Halo are both benefiting from being in the
same block? Both have a bit of overlap I'd say. Xbox sci-fi shooter
exclusives. So any rally for one gives a sizable vote to the other. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Ouch |
that wasn't a good update at all! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
TYD's
percentage reached a nadir of 51.54% at 7:25 AM, and finished at
51.87%, for a gain of 0.33%. That translates into a necessary lead for
ME of about 85 votes. I suspect even less than that would be
sufficient, as ME should have a better day vote than ToS. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |

I suspect even less than that would be sufficient, as ME should have a better day vote than ToS. Whatever you say, I still wouldn't be confident in that unless I see ME up by 300 or so. --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima raytan: Champ without picking the champ |
ToS has a good day vote, actually. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Well, you'll never feel totally confident if it's up by less than 100, but that doesn't mean it couldn't still pull it off! --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Also
note that TYD's percentage hit a daytime peak of 52.11% around 12:15
p.m., and fell 0.24% from there. That would imply that Mario needs a
lead of about 100 as of noon to hold on. These numbers are so low because the day vote trends in TYD/Symphonia were muted almost to the point of nonexistence. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Saying
the entire series of ME has worse gameplay than Galaxy is a great
reminder of why I blocked that Nanis clown. Stop quoting him. I like the Galaxy games, but come on: http://social.bioware.com/n7hq/home/?name=Ultimaterializer&platform=ps3 You don't put that kind of time into a game with bad gameplay. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
ME1's gameplay was kinda bad. Not the worst ever, but yeah. The others did better. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. (edited 11/7/2015 11:17:42 PM)report |
UltimaterializerX posted... You don't put that kind of time into a game with bad gameplay. Didn't you play a lot of hours in Brawl despite declaring it one of the worst games ever made? --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima raytan: Champ without picking the champ |
KamikazePotato posted... ME1's gameplay was kinda bad. Not the worst ever, but yeah. The others did better. Another guy who picked Soldier class I see --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
KamikazePotato posted... ME1's gameplay was kinda bad. Not the worst ever, but yeah. The others did better. Yeah this. Me1 had the best structured story but the gameplay was pretty raw. It wasnt bad but the mako stuff and the interface was garbage. 3 was the best and most polished combat wise. 2 is still the best game for me Those loyalty missions are some of the best moments in gaming ive ever had. Utterly brilliant. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif (edited 11/7/2015 11:20:44 PM)report |
Lost in all of this is FF7 whooping some ass right now. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
I picked Infiltrator. ME2/3 were WAY more fun to play that class as. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Not liking ME1's sudden weakness. Your mission isn't over yet, Shepard. --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima raytan: Champ without picking the champ |
ME1 was all about biotics. Specifically Lift. ME1 Lift was the greatest thing in the game. ME2/ME3 Infiltrator all the way though. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
Minecraft just cut a tiny bit --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
I
think Mass Effect got those 25 vote cuts due to that Reddit thread.
There are only about 250 people logged in there though, so it must have
dried up. It looks like Mass Effect can't get any traction on its own. |
Hmm, lead back over 200. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
Well when I wake up in 4 hours I hope Mario is still in the lead. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
ME
was ahead of schedule in that 1-2 hour. With a 53%+ first hour for
SMG, it normally couldn't be expected to start serious cutting until
past 3 AM. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Galaxy seems to be building a lead again --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** |
Planescape would have to be able to get 61.29% on Journey for Smash 4 > FFVII, as it currently stands. AC2 would have to be able to get 65.32% on Journey for FFVI > FFVII, as it currently stands. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

This post confuses me on multiple levels >_> -What do you mean Smash will make you lose? Lose the top in the Oracle you mean? -"bovvered"? -Are you someone's alt? -Your sig link doesn't work for me. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
creativename posted... whatisurnameplz posted..."Two different Smash Bros. games knocked out Portal AND Planescape: Torment? Can't be bovvered." that was a post from the Mass Effect reddit thread he quoted |
He's
referring to the rally topic earlier and someone saying they're not
going to bother voting because Smash Bros. is beating two games he
likes. Thus the rally has become ineffective because of Smash domination
and his bracket suffers for it. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

Very
disappointing performance from Smash Wii U but that should be expected
after all. New games can't draw their strength from the well of
nostalgia. --- Man is not the creature of circumstances. Circumstances are the creatures of man. |
Galaxy 2's lead after 3 hours - 198 TTYD's lead after 3 hours - 435 This is usually where the dead zone starts really taking effect. TTYD's lead overnight peaked at 482 and dropped down to 388 six hours in. It took it until nearly 9 hours in to get the lead over 500. So yeah, if ME1 is going to start pushing, it should be soon. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
creative what's up with the random updates that have like -5 total votes? --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
UltimaterializerX posted... Saying the entire series of ME has worse gameplay than Galaxy is a great reminder of why I blocked that Nanis clown. Stop quoting him. Whooooaaa. 595 hours! That's maybe the total time I've spent playing the entire Final Fantasy franchise. Is this just ME1 or the whole trilogy? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

sometimes shows vote results outside of the typical 5 minute update
cycle. If the automatic update collector hits one of these, it will
still record it. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
Super Mario Galaxy 2 by the hour: 1:00 | 53.61% 2:00 | 48.05% 3:00 | 50.74% Based on Shepard/Sandbag 2008, Super Mario Galaxy 2 wins with 50.41%.. SMG recovers to win the third hour, and is ahead again in the projection. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
