Let's say Metroid Prime stabilizes at 67% and Goldeneye ends up at 56%. Which one would take to win if they faced each other?

would have picked Goldeneye before the contest, but if those are the final numbers, then Prime

70% on PW1 would be a pretty solid performance, I think.

PW1 is probably the strongest 16 seed.


Twilight Princess got 70% on it in 4 ways, for a measuring stick.

man you guys need to chill out on Skyrim. it's fine. it'll be over 60% by the end of the hour and on its way to the mid-60s. let's measure Skyrim based on how it looks in the daytime since this early vote is so jacked up right now.

that said, I'm also fine with anyone who wants to take Goldeneye/Diablo/Metroid over it - I think doubting new games is something we should be in the habit of doing right now,

Prime is stronger than hl2. Much more now.

Would you dumbasses shut up about Skyrim being a turd? Jesus Christ.

This match has 2700 votes after 20 minutes. Comparables earlier this contest had 1700. This is a result of 1. Tumblr rallyers still clicking the link and seeing Phoenix Wright and voting for it, and 2. Board8 being heavily biased for Phoenix in every damn match it's ever had.

Prime beat it in a direct match. Hl2 isnt as strong as it was. Games like prime always have consistent strength due to the nintendo bias on this site. Also demons souls isnt that popular here.

Well for the record GotD x-stats suggest Twilight Princess scores about 75% on Phoenix Wright, so I'd say Skyrim has to do about that good in order to stand a chance to get out of the division. (I'm assuming Super Mario 64 being stronger than Twilight Princess will approximately cancel the strength increase PW may have had since)

I think HL2 is weaker than it used to be, which is why I have MP beating it - but Prime only won last time because it was a day match. HL2 in a night match I'm very confident takes that, and 24 hours who knows.

Skyrim should finish above 60%, but that's still a pretty big flop for a game that - I think? - most had going to the division finals. No excuse for it to finish under 65% here.

What %age does Goldeneye get next round?

Goldeneye's struggling to increase but it isn't coming close to losing an update either. I think it's safe so long as it doesn't pull a Melee, and even then it's probably fine. Diablo always had a killer night vote though.

I actually expect it to be ridiculously close unless Skyrim at least gets 68+ %.

There was a period between 7:15 PM and 8:15 PM where Mario World went about 50/50 with Animal Crossing. Our normal voters would be heavily favored towards Mario World, but Tumblr seemed to be heavily favoring Animal Crossing.

Going to bed. If Skyrim isn't winning close to 70% in any updates by morning then I will be concerned. Right now power hour with Pheonix Wright and even further boosted by tumblr users (proof is in votals) means this data is completely useless to make judgments.

"This is all we have... when we die.."
This Undertale incident is interesting. The question here is how much the Undertale community cares to keep going. LoL has a rather obsessive fanbase for a game that rarely gets mentioned outside of its own circle. Undertale is meanwhile the best reviewed game of 2015. When you pit the best game of 2015 against a game many still view as a disappointment, of course those who played both are going to vote for the more fresh experience. I don't see the Undertale community being as united when its opponent is less controversial, but it is at that level of game that it would be a powerhouse on a site with a more current fanbase.

The increase in Life is Strange that corresponded with the rally I think is one of the clearest examples of GameFAQs's userbase's disconnect from current trends. LiS and Undertale looking like trash before the rally is entirely the fault of a video game website not keeping up with video games.

Yes, there was a rally and it affected all 4 matches. The bulk of the rally power came from Tumblr and while the rally was targeted towards Undertale, it caused Mario World and Fallout 3 to collapse very hard. Tumblr was far less split on GTA/FFVIII, although FFVIII benefited from the Tumblr rally.

I'm way more annoyed about this than I should be. Allen's tone is so flippant. I guess I love ME3 an awful lot so that has a lot to do with it. Still it seems like a bummer to see a 10k lead in this era of reduced votals go away in a few hours. It doesn't feel like our contest anymore. I hope the tumblr voters at least stay and results are wacky all over the place.

1) Who exactly on Tumblr rallied for Undertale?

2) Were there specific rallies for Life is Strange and New Leaf as well, or were the Tumblr visitors voting contrarian for the hell of it?
