Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1207
LeonhartFour posted... Also, since we have GOTD stats on Baldur's Gate II and T&T... It's too bad that Banjo's bleeding like crazy though --- Tangy's Quest to beat the Final Fantasies: I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XII, XIII |
Terastodon posted... Man, if DK can treble it's lead, but Xeno can only halve it, Xeno is sunk. Xenoblade will halve the lead every update in a practical application of Zeno's Paradox. which will henceforth be referred to as Xeno's paradox in contest lingo. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
Ugh,
of course there's no big Mario Maker streams right now. I'd totally pay
$5 for Trihex to read a rally comment to 8000 people. --- Viviff on the go! (or from the toilet) http://i.minus.com/iUSn0BlyRplGN.gif |
Well yeah, it won't hold. And a lot of games that were in Fallout's division (which would include BG2) have underperformed in GOTD thus far. Pretty much Skies of Arcadia is the only exception. T&T also faced FFIX, which could be underrated due to facing FFX directly, so take those numbers with a few extra grains of salt. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Using
Luster's age poll trend charts, I calculated the average age by time
segment. I counted things as "under 9" and "over 45" as 9 and 45. And
things like "21-24" as 22.5. That should be good enough for a proxy. The Power Hour and ASV used to be younger than the other segements, but now everything is pretty much the same. The ASV has gotten older, the Power Hour is still slightly younger. 7/30/2015 Weekday Poll EBV - 25.86 PHV - 26.54 FNV - 27.04 BSV - 27.76 DSV - 27.41 ASV - 27.3 SNV - 26.76 4/12/2014 Weekend Poll EBV - 24.95 PHV - 24.85 FNV - 25.27 BSV - 25.9 DSV - 25.4 ASV - 25.33 SNV - 25.42 5/26/2013 Weekend Poll EBV - 23.39 PHV - 23.74 FNV - 24.26 BSV - 24.81 DSV - 24.43 ASV - 24.34 SNV - 24.43 3/4/2012 Weekend Poll EBV - 22.23 PHV - 22.5 FNV - 23.05 BSV - 23.52 DSV - 23.08 ASV - 23.05 SNV - 23.25 3/9/2011 Weekday Poll EBV - 21.86 PHV - 22.09 FNV - 22.82 BSV - 22.93 DSV - 23.16 ASV - 21.78 SNV - 22.22 3/29/2010 Weekday Poll EBV - 20.89 PHV - 21.19 FNV - 21.93 BSV - 21.83 DSV - 22 ASV - 20.89 SNV - 21.33 8/26/2009 Weekday Poll EBV - 20.41 PHV - 20.85 FNV - 21.35 BSV - 21.44 DSV - 21.25 ASV - 20.57 SNV - 21.07 --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
I was gonna pick DKC2 and then got swayed by the board to pick XB, dammit. On the other hand, I'm glad FEA is destroying Mario Maker, having it lose on the basis of it being a Mario game alone would've been sad. --- raytan stepped on me in the guru contest. |

So I missed discussion at the beginning of the match. What's the consensus, does this mean FE:A is actually kind of strong or is this a Super Mario Maker flop.

was asked earlier but there were 6 perfects before Undertale's match

been responsible for some of those losses, though. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |

creativename posted... I counted things as "under 9" and "over 45" as 9 and 45. And things like "21-24" as 22.5. That's sort of what I did when I tried to calculate the average age of the site's voters for each age poll. For options like "21-24", I went with a midway number like 22.5 for my calculations. When I did my calculations, I had to rely on a weighted average, taking into consideration the number of votes for each option. So with 25-28 being the most popular option in the most recent age poll, the average age should fall somewhere within the 25-28 range. Since I do have the poll updates for each age poll (minus the 2009 poll which I only have partial updates for), I could go back and calculate the average age of each time segment based on the number of votes each option received during that time segment. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |

Well,
I was completely wrong about Super Mario Maker. I figured that since
it's 2D Mario, it'd remind people of the classic Mario games and would
benefit from the strength of old games, but it's getting utterly
destroyed here. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |

feel a bit stupid picking Xenoblade here considering how many right
