GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1197
What happens if time's up and the result's 50%-50%? I'd imagine they will form a tag team and continue Or the match will be extended until the next vote is cast. --- BGE3: Today's Matches SSBWiiU>Planescape, SMG2>ME, Halo>Minecraft, FFVII>Journey Points 10/12 |
Anyone knows what's the record number of lead changes ? |
Nooo my bracket |
Man the votes per update are garbage for both games. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak PSN ID - Kudaark Steam Name : skaalfa |
Mass Effect? More like irrelevant ass game no one gives a s*** about. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
Well I hope Mario still wins the day, but I don't imagine ME would be bad at it either. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
shane15 posted... That Planescape match pic is awful.I have literally no idea what the game is meant to be and from that pic it looks like it's called Torment. Funny thing is, that's actually the case. Calling that game "Planescape: Torment" is actually like calling a certain other game "Forgotten Realms: Baldur's Gate". I don't know anything about Dungeons and Dragons but Planescape and Forgotten Realms are both supposed to be different settings of them. Maybe someone who's played either one can clarify. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
With
the exclusion of one update where it lost 0.1% in the US. Mass Effect
has been creeping up slowly in the States (a total of 0.2% since I woke
two hours ago). --- Conformity and rebellion...both ways are simple-minded--they are only for people who cannot cope with contradiction and ambiguity. |
Another 50-50 tie ! This might really end up being the closest match ever. |
What happens if a match ends with a tie? Has that ever happened in contest history? |
Every
time GameFAQs runs one of the pre-polls to gauge interest in the B.G.E.
tournament and like 75% of the site responds that they don't give a
crap, I think to myself, "Those people don't know the fun/controversy
they're missing out on..." Long live the yearly contest polls. This s*** is great. --- MusicBee > HRT Music Streamer II+ > Matrix M-Stage (2x OPA602BP) > AKG Q701 |
Super Mario Galaxy 2 50% 8232 Mass Effect 50% 8232 TOTAL VOTES 16464 Beautiful and frightening. --- raytan is the guru champ, yo yo yo He won it in the year of the draggy crow |
MechanicalWall posted... Mass Effect? More like irrelevant ass game no one gives a s*** about. clearly some people do. |
I'm actually more excited about the Smash match tbh. Need Smash to go over 78% to win a lot of money on spread betting. And it's struggling A LOT to go above 78%. |
Haha my Oracle has Smash at 78%. |
Kind of cool to see Mass Effect winning. But I don't really care if GFAQs likes what I like. I voted Galaxy 2 for the cash, son. --- David Hayter Seriously, Who in the hell is "Draven?" (Sounds like a draggy crow.) |
this
match is great but I really dislike how we've basically stopped having
trends. when KH and MGS are steady during the day and Xenogears is able
to do well in the daytime, it's not as fun. with our vote totals and the
lack of trends, a 500 vote lead is probably the point of no return now
unless there's a rally. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
Mass Effect keeps gaining in the States but can't take the lead. Stupid Canada -.- --- Conformity and rebellion...both ways are simple-minded--they are only for people who cannot cope with contradiction and ambiguity. |
It's certainly less dramatic when we don't get thousands of votes swinging --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
I just watched a horrifying movie and am now treated to a horrifyingly close match. Wonderful. Oh well, at least something good will happen no matter what. Either I get a point in my bracket or one of my favorite games moves on. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil (edited 11/8/2015 6:32:41 AM)report |
ZeldaTPLink posted... I'm actually more excited about the Smash match tbh. Smash WiiU not being able to get over 80% on planescape shows it's really a step below the likes of Brawl melee was back in 2010. FFVII should double it comfortably. |
Mass effect pulling away now. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak PSN ID - Kudaark Steam Name : skaalfa |
Planescape is a pretty good game. --- Formerly known as Dilated Chemist |
Mass Effect finally laying some solid cuts on Galaxy 2, didn't expect it to at this point. --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |
SMG 2 collapsing yayayayay |
I think you just need to pay attention to early morning trends in the US to see how the day vote will go! --- Conformity and rebellion...both ways are simple-minded--they are only for people who cannot cope with contradiction and ambiguity. |
Shepard: "Wrex" Wrex: "Shepard" Shepard: "Wrex" Wrex: "Shepard" Shepard: "Wrex" Wrex: "Shepard" ME wins |
guess I spoke too soon! good night, sweet Mario --- xyzzy |
These updates are pretty heavy all of a sudden, did that rally kick in? --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |
There
was one update recently that got close to 190 votes between both games
combined. Another thing worth nothing is that vote totals spiked on the
other 3 matches as well. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
People
are starting to wake up in NA. From Eastern and soon to Pacific. ME
clearly a bit more popular with the casuals on this site. |
When
people said earlier that this match might be decided by bracket votes, I
thought nah, it might be decided by the Power Hour though. But if SMG
wins and by less than 100 votes, you could argue bracket votes really
did make a difference. I asked this before, but - Did anyone ask Allen if Brawl didn't get enough nominations? He personally kept SMB and LoZ out right? Are those the only games he kept out? What about LoL? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
LoL didn't make Top 100 in nominations but it's still highly speculated he kept it out with his additional criteria too. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
Allen kept those three out based on a formula. basically, user reviews and nominations. that's what kept Mario 1, Zelda 1 and League out. Brawl I think got lost in the shuffle between the Melee crowd and the New Smash crowd. every Melee freak nominates Melee and every new Smash person nominates Smash 4. Brawl is just whatever. --- xyzzy |
creativename posted... When people said earlier that this match might be decided by bracket votes, I thought nah, it might be decided by the Power Hour though. But if SMG wins and by less than 100 votes, you could argue bracket votes really did make a difference. It depends on what you mean by 'personally kept out.' They were kept out because he had criteria other than nominations. Game review scores, and gamefaqs user reviews. I don't think he cherry picked them out of the bracket specifically. --- Conformity and rebellion...both ways are simple-minded--they are only for people who cannot cope with contradiction and ambiguity. |

Still don't understand why we got 2 Mario Galaxies. --- Formerly known as Dilated Chemist |
SwiftyDC posted... Still don't understand why we got 2 Mario Galaxies. The first was good and the second was amazing, totally worth it! --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |
SwiftyDC posted... Still don't understand why we got 2 Mario Galaxies. For this very match. --- raytan is the guru champ, yo yo yo He won it in the year of the draggy crow |
The
process of selecting which games would be in the bracket involved a
combination of nominations, critic review scores, and GameFAQs user
rating scores. It was revealed that SMB made the Top 100 in nominations, but got cut from the bracket because of the other criteria. Since SMB did not have any critic reviews, I felt like Allen treated that as having an overall Metacritic score of 0. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
The criteria was designed to make things really hard for LoL to get in, whether he needed it in the end is debatable. Looking at Brawl the extra criteria probably would have helped it into the bracket (Metacritic: 93, Users: 4.43) so it was probably due to a lack of nominations. --- BGE3: Today's Matches SSBWiiU>Planescape, SMG2>ME, Halo>Minecraft, FFVII>Journey Points 10/12 |

pjbasis posted... LoL didn't make Top 100 in nominations but it's still highly speculated he kept it out with his additional criteria too. How do we know it didn't make the top 100? Allen said this? What else do we know of the top 100? transience posted... Allen kept those three out based on a formula. basically, user reviews and nominations. Thanks. Makes me wonder if he made a formula to have an excuse to keep LoL out (even if the excuse was only for himself and not us), and SMB and LoZ were collateral damage. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Super Mario Galaxy 2 by the hour: 1:00 | 53.61% 2:00 | 48.05% 3:00 | 50.74% 4:00 | 47.56% 5:00 | 49.64% 6:00 | 48.83% 7:00 | 48.16% 8:00 | 48.70% 9:00 | 49.61% 10:00 | 49.08% Hmm......the hourlies look pretty good for Mass Effect. It's won every hour since 3 AM. We're in the heart of the morning vote now, so if SMG2 is going to make a move, it needs to do it, like now. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
creativename posted...
Super Mario Bros. and Dragon's Dogma were among those that made it but are not in the contest. the Legend of Zelda probably too based on the fact that he said that and SMB1 were about in the 130s after adjusting for his criteria. So they barely missed the cut. Someone else might remember more fun facts. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
