Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1204
Ranking the MGS games is like ranking my kids. The third one is clearly my favorite, but the first one is the first, you know? --- Best. Game. Ever.: 20th Anniversary Edition Current Score: 23/28 |
FFX beat RE4 because Link got to the merchant first and bought all the stuff. --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Yeah,
I have a hard time seeing FFX put up that kind of number on MGS1, or
seeing Majora put up the number on MGS1 it put up on MGS3. I could be wrong, but sometimes you just gotta trust your "gut" man --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

There is also a pretty extreme difference (close to 10%) in votals between the highest and lowest matches today. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |

So what's the deal with Mario Kart? Am I wrong in thinking that it's surpassing expectations? If not, do we think it's resisting SFF because it's a different genre of game or that 64 is a little weaker than we thought? --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword (edited 11/11/2015 9:36:02 PM)report |
I already regret picking San Andreas. Shovel Knight rally will happen. |
I don't make anything out of Mario 64/Mario Kart 8. Mario 64 could be getting 99% right now and I wouldn't care! --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
LeonhartFour posted... I don't make anything out of Mario 64/Mario Kart 8. Mario 64 could be getting 99% right now and I wouldn't care! Mario kart 8 was fairly popular here. Its a wii u game though which means it will get antivoted. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
If
Mario 64 was getting 99% I'd care because seeing if Tanner would be
outdone after all these years would be the most exciting thing in any
contest I've been in. Yes, more exciting than L-Block. --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
There is also a pretty extreme difference (close to 10%) in votals between the highest and lowest matches today. The average voter probably doesn't know Persona 4 or 999 relative to the other games. --- BGE3: Today's Matches SM64>MK8, RE2>FFT, LoZ:TP>SoA, P4>999 Points 24/28 |
Although Frog/Axel and Crono/Vincent/Samus/RAT were both pretty damn great. --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Ryugai posted... I already regret picking San Andreas. I dont even think it needs a rally. The game has been released on a lot of platforms now and is well loved and recieved. Its also a lot older than undertale. Undertale even without rallies would be decent in a few years time on normal gamefaqs strength alone. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
charmander6000 posted... There is also a pretty extreme difference (close to 10%) in votals between the highest and lowest matches today. I doubt that.Plus people are forgetting the fighting games. Since 2010 theres been 3 persona 4 related games released. Its not a complete niche name like it was ago. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |

Projections for yesterday's matches with some or all of the rally spillover votes removed: Skyrim vs. Phoenix Wright With the first hour removed - Skyrim gets 67.74% With the first 2 hours removed - Skyrim gets 68.26% With the first 4 hours removed - Skyrim gets 68.83% Out of those projections, I prefer the 2 hour projection. It removes a good bulk of the Tumblr rally spillover votes while keeping most of Phoenix Wright's Europe votes. Phoenix Wright did fairly well in Europe based on the map results. Europe makes up a fairly small percentage of the votes during the first 2 hours. GoldenEye vs. Diablo II With the first hour removed - GoldenEye gets 55.72% With the first 2 hours removed - GoldenEye gets 55.78% With the first 4 hours removed - GoldenEye gets 56.02% Metroid Prime vs. Morrowind With the first hour removed - Metroid Prime gets 62.37% With the first 2 hours removed - Metroid Prime gets 62.22% With the first 4 hours removed - Metroid Prime gets 62.11% Half-Life 2 vs. Demon's Souls With the first hour removed - Half-Life 2 gets 63.69% With the first 2 hours removed - Half-Life 2 gets 63.71% With the first 4 hours removed - Half-Life 2 gets 63.90% Other than the Skyrim match, the other 3 matches do not appear to show any clear Tumblr preference for any of these games. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
pjbasis posted... I don't get this viewpoint. Do you only play video games? You don't watch movies or read books or...you know other stuff? The point of a video game is to actually have a game in it. A point-and-click adventure title does not qualify as such. Take the game away and it no longer interests me, especially in the light that visual novels and other adventure games are often poorly written. If I really wanted just a story, I'd watch a show or read a book or even watch a Let's Play--though I hate to read books to be honest. Surskit posted... do you post as an alt just so you can troll without backlash on your main? legit question Not at all. I'm honest in everything I say, even if it startles or upsets someone, as it has here. I have no interest in 999 whatsoever. --- Ole, ole, ole, ole. Ole! Ole!

-LusterSoldier- posted... Other than the Skyrim match, the other 3 matches do not appear to show any clear Tumblr preference for any of these games. So pretty much as expected (don't think Tumblr's bulk demo has played the other 6 games very much). --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword (edited 11/11/2015 9:45:09 PM)report |
-LusterSoldier- posted... Other than the Skyrim match, the other 3 matches do not appear to show any clear Tumblr preference for any of these games. to be fair, you're also removing the board vote! |
1337gamerpr0 posted... to be fair, you're also removing the board vote! I'm aware that I'm removing the board vote, but any Tumblr rally spillover votes for Phoenix Wright between 2:00 AM and 4:00 AM should somewhat replace whatever votes Phoenix Wright would have gotten during the Power Hour. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Skies of Arcadia is one of the best RPGs ever so sad to see it down so much |
Not sure if anyone answered or not, but what is considered odd about the net wanting Link+Midna? Are they related? WarThaNemesis2 posted... The Owner of FF9 posted...Ranking the MGS games is like ranking my kids. LOL --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Galcian posted... Skies of Arcadia is one of the best RPGs ever so sad to see it down so much I hear ya, brother. |
I doubt that.Plus people are forgetting the fighting games. When the other three polls are Mario, Final Fantasy and Zelda, it's not hard to see why Persona 4/999 would be a low vote draw. --- BGE3: Today's Matches SM64>MK8, RE2>FFT, LoZ:TP>SoA, P4>999 Points 24/28 |
Someone rally for 999 for my Oracle picks sake. --- Formerly known as Dilated Chemist |
For
the record I'm also convinced Persona 4 has some kind of genre SFF
going on seeing as they're both anime style games and have heavy visual
novel elements. --- This was my signature, but Raytan, 2013 Guru champion, took it away. |

pyresword posted... For the record I'm also convinced Persona 4 has some kind of genre SFF going on seeing as they're both anime style games and have heavy visual novel elements. Yeah I had trouble deciding on which one to pick myself. I would easily vote either one over most games. But here was a tough call, I voted 999 though, since it's not nearly as frustrating. --- Tangy's Quest to beat the Final Fantasies: I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XII, XIII |
Hopefully rSFF DQVIII pushing for 35% gogogo! --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
pyresword posted... For the record I'm also convinced Persona 4 has some kind of genre SFF going on seeing as they're both anime style games and have heavy visual novel elements. 999 was a ds only game. A lot more people played persona 4 and the fighting games boosted p4 too. Im pretty sure virtues last reward is arguably stronger than 999 --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
Galcian posted... Skies of Arcadia is one of the best RPGs ever so sad to see it down so much Well it deserves to beat tp. One of the worst 3d zeldas for me. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
LeonhartFour posted... pyresword posted...For the record I'm also convinced Persona 4 has some kind of genre SFF going on seeing as they're both anime style games and have heavy visual novel elements. To some degree I'd honestly say yes although I don't think it would be a particularly strong effect. I think what I proposed as a concept makes as much sense as SFF amongst different Nintendo series and I think everyone agrees that's a thing that happens for the most part. (In both cases they are different types of games that have more or less have a similar target audience) --- This was my signature, but Raytan, 2013 Guru champion, took it away. |

What percentage of brackets will run Division V? |
regarding Div. 5, I'm pretty confident in Kingdom Hearts that Suikoden/Monster Hunter match is a complete s***fest though, I just picked Suikoden because...I don't know, I just picked it, that stupid 1-point match is the biggest headache the less said about that eight pack at the bottom the better I am expecting many, many burned brackets on Friday and Saturday --- sig pssssssssssst - http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/568795-soccer-challenge (edited 11/11/2015 10:38:14 PM)report |
LeonhartFour posted... Top Option Factor for Suikoden II top option factor for two games listed side by side? seems legit |
I picked Monster Hunter in my bracket but Suikoden probably has a better shot at winning. --- http://img.imgcake.com/whatisurnameplz/kermitgifre.gif Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
1337gamerpr0 posted... top option factor for two games listed side by side? Bacon has ruined my prediction method I demand restitution --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Also Persona 4 is still going up. This is kinda crazy. It's pulling in 80%+ updates with regularity. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
I
went with Suikoden II in my bracket, but the match is really hard to
predict here. Suikoden II's only appearance was in 2004, where it got
killed by FFVII. There was probably some SFF in that match with both
games being PlayStation era JRPGs. I'd rather take a game with a
previous contest appearance over a game that has never had a single game
from the series appear in a contest. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! (edited 11/11/2015 10:46:01 PM)report |
http://www.gamefaqs.com/users/!/games Monster Hunter 4U is the top rated game on GameFAQs. Does that mean something? Also guess who's right behind it. --- http://img.imgcake.com/whatisurnameplz/kermitgifre.gif Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
I know we're seeing old > new, but do people really give a s*** about Suikoden? --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Suikoden II has a lot of respect factor and is of the "sweet spot" age with this site. MH I would think has the higher playrate. MH4U is Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate right? That has 5017 owned here as opposed to Suikoden II's 2616. Really it's tough to be confident in either one. P4 is def impressing me here, however 999 is probably garbage so yeah. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
