2 votes between the 2 2's --- After Cena vs. Owens: JKL25JKL (9:25:35 PM): And now for the cooldown match, an Elimination Chamber <_< |
This is all assuming Tetris has remained constant throughout the years which may or may not be true. --- .-#Elements of Water#-. |
UltimaterializerX posted... LeonhartFour posted...UltimaterializerX posted...today RBY might not break 70% on Tetris when Zelda 1 was able to easily do it. Mario/Bowser are tiers above the Trainer's unrallied strength. SMB3 is not tiers above Pokemon's strength. It didn't look to be higher than it period in 2009. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. Congrats to CBIX Guru Winner *Raytan*! |
The
Trainers lost to Mario/Bowser because Mario/Bowser was stronger than
them. That's it. There was no bandwagon that was stopped. Trainers were
very consistent the entire contest. If RBY loses, it'll be because SMB3 is stronger than it. It's really that simple. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Uncharted falling back to earth. darn you brackets --- xyzzy |
Well, how are you doing? Because I'm a potato! --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! Future 2015 Guru Contest winner. |
LeonhartFour posted... Characters =/= Games People keep saying this and it isn't remotely true. Characters and games are a lot closer than people want to think. There are more examples of it than there are exceptions, I'd bet, though I haven't really sat down and looked at it. For every Sonic or Kirby, you get a lot of Link/Square character/Mario/etc who are about as strong as their games are. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
Surskit posted... This is all assuming Tetris has remained constant throughout the years which may or may not be true. What reason does Tetris have to shift in strength notably one way or the other though? That game is as close to ubiquitous as it gets. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
I don't believe this, but maybe L-Block? if CT beats R&C worse than Mario beats AOE2... well, I don't know if it means anything, but it would surprise me. --- xyzzy |

Trainers were very consistent the entire contest. Which it CLEARLY is. You really think Mario 3 would struggle to break 70% on Tetris when Zelda 1 easily did it? It's like FFX/Chrono Trigger. FFX could in theory still win, but it's clearly the weaker game right now. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |

Yes, you are more likely to be strong as a character if your games are strong, but just because the character wins doesn't mean the game wins. Samus beats down anyone from FFX but FFX probably beats Prime head to head. It definitely beats Super Metroid. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
It wouldn't surprise me. UYA is the ultimate "who cares" game. Age of Empires probably has voters that actually care about it. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
Honestly this is more of a comparison on who has better SFF capabilities and we already know Pokemon is a bit of an outsider. Though I thought it would do better. --- BGE3: Today's Matches SMB3>AoEII, Pokemon RBYG>Tetris, Sonic 2>Portal 2, Unchated 2>TWD Points 13/16 |
FFX/Prime would be such a good match. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
LeonhartFour posted... Surskit posted...This is all assuming Tetris has remained constant throughout the years which may or may not be true. It's a long shot, but maybe after L-Block? IIRC correctly, Tetris didn't look at badly in 2009? Don't hang me up on that though. --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |

It follows that we can't tell how it goes for Pokémon yet. shrug --- .-#Elements of Water#-. |
Metroid
Prime would get its ass handed to it by FFX, there's not a result in
contest history that implies anything less than that. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
LeonhartFour posted... Surskit posted...This is all assuming Tetris has remained constant throughout the years which may or may not be true. It has no reason, but year to year variation doesn't have to be logical. We're really not gonna know who wins SMB3/RBY Until the match takes place. --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima raytan: Champ without picking the champ |
ctesjbuvf posted... It's a long shot, but maybe after L-Block? IIRC correctly, Tetris didn't look at badly in 2009? Don't hang me up on that though. It beat Mega Man 2 twice, but Mega Man Classic games are weak. (There's another example of Characters =/= Games) --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Talk about overanalyzing, imagine thinking the trainers have the same strength as the games. Nobody gives a f*** about Red compared to the game itself. You ask a Nintendo fan who prefers Pokemon to Zelda, which character is cooler, Link or the Trainers?... Who the hell do you think is gonna come out on top? --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
UltimaterializerX posted... FFX/Prime would be such a good match. Really? I'd take FFX without a second thought. Especially after GotD. --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |

Gogo Portal 2 (upset?) pick! --- -_-...-_- ...-_-... |
we're watching Sonic go 50/50 with Wheatley here. --- xyzzy |
swirIdude posted... We're really not gonna know who wins SMB3/RBY Until the match takes place. You do realize how obnoxious I'm allowed to be if Mario 3 wins, right? --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
LeonhartFour posted... What reason does Tetris have to shift in strength notably one way or the other though? That game is as close to ubiquitous as it gets. Who knows. I personally imagine Tetris is also a highly nostalgic game for all of us who played it during the Gameboy days. Like, yes, I can play it on my phone, but it's not the same as seeing that classic boxart on the front page, you know? --- .-#Elements of Water#-. |
UltimaterializerX posted... swirIdude posted...We're really not gonna know who wins SMB3/RBY Until the match takes place. You do realize we expect you to be obnoxious about something on a daily basis, right? This won't be any different. --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima raytan: Champ without picking the champ |
Portal keeps increasing... maybe Ulti was right after all... Snoic had the brackets :) --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
weird, cn's updater added an extra update at 00:22, but when i refresh the poll it doesn't change. --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |
charmander6000 posted... Honestly this is more of a comparison on who has better SFF capabilities and we already know Pokemon is a bit of an outsider. I thought RBY was going to look better than this. Zelda 1 almost tripled Tetris back in 2004 and RBY should be even stronger than Zelda. I did of course consider the possibility of Zelda 1 SFFing Tetris since Zelda 1 has more a reason to SFF Tetris. Zelda 1 and Tetris were both games that were originally released in the same era of video games. And I see no reason why Tetris would increase in strength over the years since it seems like Tetris would be a very static game in terms of contest strength. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ!

UltimaterializerX posted... You do realize how obnoxious I'm allowed to be if Mario 3 wins, right? Not at all because plenty of people are picking Mario 3 and if you pick Mario 3 to win by 50.05% you definitely don't get to brag --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
UltimaterializerX posted... swirIdude posted...We're really not gonna know who wins SMB3/RBY Until the match takes place. I'm with you all the way. Round 2 can't come any sooner --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
UltimaterializerX posted... swirIdude posted...We're really not gonna know who wins SMB3/RBY Until the match takes place. Hey, here's an idea: how about you don't? --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
RBY making me panic about surviving the Mario gauntlet. Definitely could see it losing to Mario 3 the way things are. don't know what to think about sonic --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
I
mean it's been four updates and these haven't exactly been large gains.
That being said though I do feel like if Sonic games follow the same
trends as Mario games than Portal has this. --- This was my signature, but Raytan, 2013 Guru champion, took it away. |
Mario is gonna 60-40 pokemon --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
UltimaterializerX posted... LeonhartFour posted...Again, you're smarter than this. This topic in a nutshell. |
Yeah,
I don't see Pokemon laying down SFF beatdowns in the same manner as
something like Zelda. Similar to how it's good at resisting them. --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |
Ulti's riling you guys up again Walking Dead just had a 40% update on Uncharted 2. I wonder where that match ends. --- xyzzy |
LeonhartFour posted... darn it Sonic get it in gear it doesn't matter now what happens only it kind of does sonic please --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
Wow Sonic is riding Portal's ass, Sonic should get the day vote right? --- Tangy's Quest to beat the Final Fantasies: I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XII, XIII |
Holy
cow Portal just nearly doubled its lead. (It sounds way more
impressive worded that way than Portal winning an update by 6 votes) --- This was my signature, but Raytan, 2013 Guru champion, took it away. |
Sonic needs his SpeedShoe powerup. --- IGN: Raymond, 3DS FC: 1349-7340-1111 (ORAS) / 3DS FC #2:4785-7678-2315 (XY & Rumble World) http://myanimelist.net/animelist/raytan7585 |
