GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1202
False alarm. That 9:35 PM update was the updater picking up one of those weird updates that GameFAQs will sometimes spit out. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
I'd
say I was annoyed that a bunch of users are gonna be pissy about
Undertale and never try it now because of their contest obsession, but
looking back it seems like nobody who matters is upset. --- http://i.imgur.com/0JdOe85.gif http://i.imgur.com/GzqvnBq.jpg |

pjbasis posted... what was the actual update then 97 vote cut --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
I'm pretty damn upset if this causes Pokemon to beat Mario when it shouldn't have. Undertale actually beating ME3 I don't care about. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
I
really should have looked at the total votes column for the 9:30 PM and
9:35 PM updates first, since the 9:35 PM update only had 62 more votes
than the 9:30 PM update. That should have been a sign the updater
picked up a weird GameFAQs update. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
OH GOD HE'S THE SOUDA f***S A CAR GUY? That's legitimately hilarious. Followed. --- http://i.imgur.com/0JdOe85.gif http://i.imgur.com/GzqvnBq.jpg |
I'm impressed SMW/AC:NL has almost kept up with the vote totals --- BGE3: Today's Matches FO3>LiS, ME3>Undertale, FFVIII>GTA:VC, SMW>AC:NL Points 17/20 |

charmander6000 posted... I'm impressed SMW/AC:NL has almost kept up with the vote totals I think this rally is showing that these Tumblr users are voting similarly to our own users when it comes to how many matches they choose to vote in. That is, the majority of the voters appear to be voting in all 4 matches and it doesn't matter if it's our own users or off-site visitors. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Pokemon/Mario 3 is 100% over if Undertale wins here. I think that bothers me more than anything. --- xyzzy |
My topic was ignored, so I'll bring it up here. Is anyone curious how well the 2015 nominees will do? Specifically Bloodborne, Witcher 3, and MGSV. We've seen that modern games don't do very well against old games, but those three games are not only very fresh in people's minds, they still have a lot of hype surrounding them, especially with DLC recently coming out for the Witcher and, in the very near future, Bloodborne. I personally think that Undertale's performance in particular showcases how this type of hype might influence the contest; I assume that if we held this contest next year, Undertale would've performed much more poorly than it did this year. What do you think? Can still fresh hype compete with nostalgia for older titles? --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |

I
feel like I'm missing something. Why does Pokemon beat Mario 3 if
Undertale beats ME3? They seem like two completely unrelated matches to
me. --- Smash Wii U username: McTavish |
Holy crap I just saw the results, when did this rally happen? --- http://img.imgcake.com/whatisurnameplz/kermitgifre.gif Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
I miss the days when the Stats Topic was a safe haven from feminist "discussions" bring back the soda polls --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
ME3's maximum lead was 9252 at 4:40 PM EST. After that, the rally started to kick in. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
ff6man posted... I feel like I'm missing something. Why does Pokemon beat Mario 3 if Undertale beats ME3? They seem like two completely unrelated matches to me. the idea is that Undertale gets rallied again and those voters would break for Pokemon however, idk if they'll break for RBY that much, it would probably pick up a lot more votes from them if it was X/Y (but then it would have no natural strength) (edited 11/10/2015 6:50:03 PM)report |
also maybe I should start linking my FFVIII fanfiction on Tumblr next round for the Mario World match --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

ff6man posted... I feel like I'm missing something. Why does Pokemon beat Mario 3 if Undertale beats ME3? They seem like two completely unrelated matches to me. The people rallied to vote Undertale would be larger Pokemon fans than Mario. Look at how FO3 and SMW tanked in percentage since the rally started. Now imagine how close SMB3/RBY will be and you can see how Undertale will affect that match. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy IX - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3729662 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
I originally had Undertale winning in my bracket. --- http://img.imgcake.com/whatisurnameplz/kermitgifre.gif Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
this rally took Animal Crossing from 16% to 25% against SMW. there's no way they don't go for Pokemon, and by a lot. --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |

this
rally seems to prefer 'girl' games by quite a bit. Animal Crossing,
Life is Strange and Undertale are all games girls will generally like.
Pokemon? another one of those. and in two hours we have phoenix wright --- xyzzy |
Completely
unrelated, and please no spoilers: is MGS5 really pulling a DMC4 on me
and just making me replay the same exact game I just played? Like this is actually a thing and we're almost in 2016? Because I really thought the game was over after blowing up a certain object, and from the look of it I wish it was. On top of developers somehow STILL thinking that saving is a privilege. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
oh man I just realized trend charts are going to be lots of 'fun' speaking of which, Luster, do you have the 6:00 and 9:00 updates for today's matches? --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

See
that's what Undertale's problem is: lower vote totals. It has the
momentum, but if vote totals die off it's going to lose. 190 total votes
per update won't cut it, and that number will only go down in the next
two hours unless there's another rally. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
yeah
FF8 is lucky it's the lovey dovey game, and that it's facing
testosterone central. a game of similar strength could have easily lost
this match. --- xyzzy |
I just regret wasting my "Mass Effect 3 is having a bad time" post early in the match. So I guess here's a link to Megalovania instead: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B2jVbSI9H4o --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |

Um if overall votals die and rally votes stay on, doesn't that favor Undertale? Undertale's not getting 60% of the "natural" gamefaqs votals. |

Just
saying that last Undertale cut assuming I caught the update correctly
was only by 66. If it continues at that rate it won't be enough for
Undertale to win. Admittedly, the few before that were all in the 80-100 range which is definitely enough, but it seems to me that this rally isn't going to be quite enough (the cuts are trending downward atm since the rally is slowing) --- This was my signature, but Raytan, 2013 Guru champion, took it away. |

I can see it but meh. Over 200 hours on mgsv and i dont regret any of it. Its gone past the stage where i care for the mgs parts. Its a straight up open world stealth game for me and a very addictive one. The game play is amazing. Mgsiv was terrible anyway. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
