GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1199
I
think all anyone wants is the ability to talk about an upcoming match
without it turning into a dickwaving contest that continues for the next
five years. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. (edited 11/8/2015 9:28:44 PM)report |

http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Tetris_vs_Mega_Man_2_vs_Super_Mario_Bros._vs_The_Legend_of_Zelda_2009 I don't think we can blame L-Block on a Tetris boost. SMB and LoZ still more than doubled it despite their LFF. --- M E N: nominate Metal Man in 20XX! http://i.imgur.com/Dr4NAeq.png |
It'll be one topic, one post in here, and one PCA rant. I'm allowed that much. Whether or not people are smart enough not to poke the bear is their own business! --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
UltimaterializerX posted... KamikazePotato posted...UltimaterializerX posted...swirIdude posted...We're really not gonna know who wins SMB3/RBY Until the match takes place. I'm pretty sure everyone thinks that SMB3 has a shot at winning, so you're not predicting anything anyone thinks is impossible. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. Congrats to CBIX Guru Winner *Raytan*! |
Wow. Pokemon is looking like absolute ass here. So much for my bracket, although SMB3 delivering the deathblow I can't complain about. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
there's
also the fact that Pokemon has never been particularly transitive. even
though Pokemon and Tetris are *the* two GB games, I could see a classic
game like Mario being better at SFF beatdowns. --- xyzzy |
This isn't looking good for RBY here. Not even 70%? I get that LoZ/Tetris was SFF, but still. I do think Age of Empires II > Ratchet and Clank 3, not sure why that would be surprising. SMB3 will probably drop off some here overnight. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
As for the actual match: I can see RBY SFFing something less than, say, LoZ 1 would. I don't think Pokemon SFFs (or gets SFFd) very well in general. Not the most inspiring result but it's not the end of the world either. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
UltimaterializerX posted... With all these clowns who keep saying I'm wrong? nobody is saying you're wrong about Mario 3 > R/B/Y you're just using irrelevant data to try to prove your point might as well just say IT'S FREAKIN' MARIO and be done with it --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Also,
is it just me, or is Ulti getting more and more childish and unbearable
as the contest goes on? Why is that guy here? Has he made a single
valid contribution to this topic in the last decade? --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
I
have Mario 3 and have had it since the second the bracket came out.
there's no need to do what you're doing. no one's even fighting you
here! --- xyzzy |
For the sake of my bracket this had better be Tetris resisting any and all SFF like a champ. --- Christopher Christopher Christopher Christopher |

Please
tell me how everyone claiming GSC was the favorite over Majora's Mask
before it got godsmacked in round 3 isn't the exact same thing. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen (edited 11/8/2015 9:33:11 PM)report |

Was this the first time we've had more faith in Halo than the casuals? I don't know how much of this is the casuals finally losing faith in Halo, and how much is Minecraft-bait. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
There are people who don't have BT on ignore? --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
because G/S/C isn't R/B/Y and Majora isn't Mario 3? you might as well point to any match Board 8 thought was obvious and then it wasn't like P3/DQ8 --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Ulti, are you comparing your OWN reasoning to the people who were proven wrong in the past? |
creativename posted... Was this the first time we've had more faith in Halo than the casuals? Minecraft might be the most "casual" game ever made. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
creativename posted... Was this the first time we've had more faith in Halo than the casuals? Well, Halo for once didn't have a massive seeding advantage either, for what it's worth. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! Future 2015 Guru Contest winner. |
15 vote swing. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
argh I need one day without a 50/50 match what do people think here? advantage Sonic? --- xyzzy |
UltimaterializerX posted... Please tell me how everyone claiming GSC was the favorite over Majora's Mask before it got godsmacked in round 3 isn't the exact same thing. The GSC > Majora pick had 0 logic behind it, and to this day I'm surprised it was such a heavy board favourite. Everyone was using a wonky 4-way match, and was jumping down my throat every time I mentioned that Majora would win there. Pretty much everyone on here admits that RBY/SMB3 is a tossup and arguments could be made either way. When I made my bracket, I took RBY to the semifinals and figured it would be a dark horse pick. I was actually surprised to see it was the Board favourite. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
In other news....Sonic finally in front --- sharp. distance. |
FINALLY let's kick this into gear and leave Portal 2 in the dust now --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
transience posted... argh I need one day without a 50/50 match Sonic has the advantage when you consider the trends. The dead zone and morning vote favors Sonic because of the UK voting block. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
transience posted... argh I need one day without a 50/50 match Why? Four matches per day has been incredible. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
transience posted... argh I need one day without a 50/50 match I don't really know at this point. Their trends are probably kinda similar due to Sonic's popularity in Europe. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Fetch the Slow-Down Boots from Sonic Labyrinth. --- raytan is the guru champ, yo yo yo He won it in the year of the draggy crow |
transience posted... argh I need one day without a 50/50 match Hard to say, Sonic should drop off after the power hour, then come back in the morning, but Sonic has a horrible afternoon/evening vote once the Euro vote ends. I like Portal here. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |

BlAcK TuRtLe posted... UltimaterializerX posted...Please tell me how everyone claiming GSC was the favorite over Majora's Mask before it got godsmacked in round 3 isn't the exact same thing. Considering we had absolutely no relevant evidence outside of said 4 way match, I'm not sure what exactly we were supposed to do. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. Congrats to CBIX Guru Winner *Raytan*! |
I was thinking the same thing - these guys are probably about the same. I'm more worried about Portal dying in the day. --- xyzzy |
Really need this Sonic win...! --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
UltimaterializerX posted... creativename posted...Was this the first time we've had more faith in Halo than the casuals? Well, GameFAQs casual isn't always the same as mainstream casual. Especially GameFAQs bracket maker casual. _SecretSquirrel posted... creativename posted...Was this the first time we've had more faith in Halo than the casuals? Ah, excellent point. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
I think the beginning of the match suggests that Sonic should gain after the power hour. --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |
Oh, and while this is far from over I'm glad I switched to Sonic 2 in my Oracle. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Yeah, Sonic's day vote is generally pretty decent. Portal's best time against Melee was easily the night. I'd lean Sonic at this point but it's not certain. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
For
what it's worth, Portal 2 has 63% in the UK right now, 66% in Holland,
75% in Germany, 66% in France, 57% in Italy. Sonic with 51.49% in the
United States. It's the dead zone in Europe right now so those numbers
have been known to change dramatically in a few hours, but if that holds
Portal would be favorable here. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Right now, there should be very few votes from the UK, so that early Portal 2 lead there won't hold up. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Tetris is such an oddball. It's tough to predict exactly how it relates to other games. Still though, I feel like the only "PokeFear" in the room right now is amongst those who actually had RB going far. (Like me...) --- JAK The Character Battle IX people's champ. |

People only argue with you because you are loud about it. Stop with the "f*** the haters" bulls***. You're not a rebel. You're on a goddamn stats thread. About video game polls. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Final
Fantasy 7 could see a bigger dip than usual in bracket support next
round, if Minecraft and Halo are really still bracket-bait. --- M E N: nominate Metal Man in 20XX! http://i.imgur.com/Dr4NAeq.png |
I'm not afraid of Pokemon flopping in the next round despite my bracket taking it to the finals. In fact, I welcome it! THE JINX IS IN --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

well at least tomorrow will be a nice, boring day, barring some insane rally or bomb. I say it's a tossup right now. Sonic sucks, man. --- xyzzy |
-LusterSoldier- posted... Right now, there should be very few votes from the UK, so that early Portal 2 lead there won't hold up. Europe in general loves Portal so I expect it do well here when we wake up. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak PSN ID - Kudaark Steam Name : skaalfa |
Lol @ Ulti now saying 'if' Mario 3 beats Pokemon. confidence knocked down already --- -_-...-_- ...-_-... |
