GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1210
I mean it did beat SF2(?!?), but eh. 55% on Elder Scrolls aint s***. Bout to get beat down by RE4. I wouldn't be quick to judge, if Oblivion has remained the same strength this isn't too far off what Wind Waker got and RE4 is at around that strength. Speaking of Oblivion. Using 2009 GoldenEye gets 57.60% on Oblivion (DKC2 was in the 2009 match). What does Skyrim get on Oblivion? --- BGE3: Today's Matches GTAV>Shenmue, SMRPG>Oblivion, GTA:SA>SK, CC>WoW Points 42/48 |
Man, I haven't gotten many matches wrong, but now 3 of the 4 matches I've got wrong have been multi-point matches. Why can't I get more meaningless one-pointers wrong instead. |
ZeldaTPLink posted... I played SMRPG about 5-6 years ago and I didn't really like it.I've heard that complaint before and it usually makes me question whether the people making it have actually played other Square RPGs. The game doesn't look or sound much like them, it is a JRPG with turn-based battles but so are the other Mario RPGs and SMRPG's gameplay isn't all that similar to Square games otherwise, and the tone is a lot closer to the other Mario RPGs than it is to typical Square games. And I mean, it's not that disliking SMRPG is unreasonable in itself but, like...Paper Mario wasn't anything like a standard Mario game either. Super Paper Mario even changed the viewpoint to 2D and ditched turn-based combat for real-time and it still didn't feel much like a "real" Mario game. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] (edited 11/17/2015 6:11:31 AM)report |
I think the Europe performance is putting to rest any fears of an RE4 upset --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Pj basis knows where it's at, Leon proves once again he has bad game taste --- http://img.imgcake.com/whatisurnameplz/kermitgifre.gif Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
SMRPG
is under 55% against Oblivion at this point. The room for it to upset
RE4 is just getting too slender, even if Oblivion has stayed constant,
and I suspect it hasn't. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Oblivion
is definitely weaker. Skyrim has replaced it among the Elder Scroll
fans that want a more streamlined game, while the hardcore fans who've
been with the series for years are going to stick with Morrowind. Not
much reason to play it anymore. Also Mario RPG actually has a level-up system that makes sense and doesn't punish you for grinding --- http://img.imgcake.com/whatisurnameplz/kermitgifre.gif Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
Ulti doesn't hate Chrono Cross anymore? FINALLY! --- You dare bring light to my lair? YOU MUST DIE! - CDI Ganon |
If RE4 loses to a fourth-tier Nintendo game (in terms of contest strength), then i really don't know what to say anymore. --- Man is not the creature of circumstances. Circumstances are the creatures of man. |
RE4
will absolutely win that match. It was never really in doubt either.
People were just very excited about the early vote for a little while. --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
-Zelmor- posted... If RE4 loses to a fourth-tier Nintendo game (in terms of contest strength), then i really don't know what to say anymore. It wont lose to SMRPG. Because it'll lose to Witcher 3 and it's rallies. --- Video Games are pretty cool. |

Very interested to see how the day vote plays out here. SMRPG is at 59% in the States, so it should regain some ground. Still though, that night vote was staggering. --- JAK The Character Battle IX people's champ. |
While
I probably take Chrono Cross over San Andreas, WoW's definitely gotten
very weak. The latest expansion alienated a lot of fans and the subs
have gotten lower and lower. SMRPG should be able to beat it easily. |
Welp...
After watching GTA's poor performances, do you think there is a
possibility that GTAV vs. GTA:SA doesn't even happen at all? I never
really considered it up until now. ...Unless Shenmue and Shovel Knight are stronger than we're giving them credit for. <_< --- Wild raytan appeared! He chose Samus > Mario. It's... super effective? (edited 11/17/2015 7:49:55 AM)report |
I
would be surprised if GTAV/GTA:SA actually happened, because GTAV has
not performed at a level suggesting it can beat SMRPG. GTA:SA beating
Chrono Cross is more likely to happen and I'd like to see both GTAs face
off against SMRPG so both games can be directly compared to each other
through their performances against SMRPG. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
I think the widely held expectation is that no GTA games will make it to round 3. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
transcience posted... I think the widely held expectation is that no GTA games will make it to round 3. Well, if I was worried about having picked GTA V > RE4, now I whole-heartedly regret it! --- Wild raytan appeared! He chose Samus > Mario. It's... super effective? |
it's not set in stone though. gta could still do something. --- add the c and back away iphonesience (edited 11/17/2015 7:59:00 AM)report |
I
don't think San Andreas is guaranteed to lose to Chrono Cross, myself. I
think the biggest thing dragging it down is going to be GTAV having a
match the same day. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
SA/CC is gonna be a grueling slugfest. --- Blasting off |
I don't see how that could possibly drag it down. I expect the opposite. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
I
don't think San Andreas is guaranteed to lose to Chrono Cross, myself. I
think the biggest thing dragging it down is going to be GTAV having a
match the same day. GTAV/SMRPG will be on the same day so the point is moot. I would still take GTA:SA over WoW so CC isn't guaranteed to win, but I am feeling pretty good about my pick --- BGE3: Today's Matches GTAV>Shenmue, SMRPG>Oblivion, GTA:SA>SK, CC>WoW Points 42/48 |
what does Shovel Knight need to put on WoW for GTA:SA=CC? |
A few days before the contest I made a topic claiming that I took Shovel Knight over San Andreas It looked really plasuible Then I realized how stupid that was and even IF he was announced for Smash it wouldn't make a difference So I am glad I picked SA>Shovel Knight at the end --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
1337gamerpr0 posted... what does Shovel Knight need to put on WoW for GTA:SA=CC? 47.58% --- Congratulations to raytan, the Guru champion for the 2013 Character Battle. |
DaruniaTheGoron posted... I don't see how that could possibly drag it down. I expect the opposite.It's asking a lot for gamefaqs voters to side with GTA against anything well-known and well-liked here. GTA is massively popular in general but doesn't really fit the site's tastes so there's some schadenfreude in seeing it losing. Having two of them on the same day seems likely to aggravate this mindset. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
I think I like San Andreas next round, just because I'm not sure where I'd go in a WoW/SK match. I'd still feel weird picking it though because Golden Sun --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
Wow,
I completely forgot that Oblivion did so well on Wind Waker five years
ago. Very solid performance from Mario RPG here - it'll easily get to
RE4, and at that point, it'll just be whether Nintendo magic/bias is
enough to take out a potentially stronger non-Nintendo entrant. --- http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
And I think both GTAs are getting slaughtered next round. The writing's on the wall. --- http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
Holy crap that night vote. So much for beating RE4 --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Hmmm, actually WoW looked better in GotD than I thought. Never mind, CC looks good for next round. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
KamikazePotato posted... Holy crap that night vote. So much for beating RE4 I assume that you're referring to GTA V...? --- Wild raytan appeared! He chose Samus > Mario. It's... super effective? (edited 11/17/2015 9:33:54 AM)report |
UltimaterializerX posted... I need to rewrite my Chrono Cross review. I've really come to respect the game recently. You know, it says a lot about your opinions if you think that something is utter trash and then you change your opinions on it Maybe it's time to rewrite your TFT(0.5), SOTC (0.5), LOZTP (4), DMC4 (1.5) , RE5 (1), SSBB (1) Because you honestly have no f***ing idea what you are talking about --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
None of you voting for Chrono Cross over WoW has ever played the original game. This battle is too funny!!! |
charmander6000 posted... Imagine SMRPG's strength if it even had an average night vote. Nope. This division is ridiculous; 2 of the 5 strongest games in the division will be gone by the end of round 1 because they're facing stronger ones. (I'd put Oblivion 5th, and I'm not really sure about Paper Mario vs. Super Mario RPG--most of the experts seem to consider SMRPG stronger because of SNESFear and, well, SMRPG is beating a game that...no, wait, that was TTYD that Oblivion beat, and although I personally preferred TTYD to the original, NostalgiaFAQs makes me think the original should be stronger. Though I'd take TTYD to win a rematch since that match was pre-Skyrim. Anyway, the reason I'd consider PM > SMRPG is because, as noted here, SMRPG has like no European vote. --- FC 5026-4424-6331 -- Native Vivillon type: Polar Still need Marine, Sun, Icy Snow, Monsoon, River, and Jungle |
Advokaiser posted... KamikazePotato posted...Holy crap that night vote. So much for beating RE4 No, pretty sure he means SMRPG. The consensus from the beginning was that the winner of Oblivion/SMRPG would win this half-division and GTA V's poor performance on Shenmue is only reinforcing that it will likely lose to SMRPG next round. After how crazy SMRPG looked in the power hour people were talking up a possible SMRPG > RE4 upset but that looks a lot less likely now. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
charmander6000 posted... I mean it did beat SF2(?!?), but eh. 55% on Elder Scrolls aint s***. Bout to get beat down by RE4. Probably something really high, because SFF. Oblivion could be worth 40% on Skyrim indirectly and it would still struggle to get 20% in an actual match. But since you're probably asking for that indirect measure...I have no idea. --- FC 5026-4424-6331 -- Native Vivillon type: Polar Still need Marine, Sun, Icy Snow, Monsoon, River, and Jungle |
My assumption pre-contest was that Skyrim would double Oblivion before any SFF, partly due to Oblivion getting weaker. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. (edited 11/17/2015 9:47:20 AM)report |
RE4
is projected to get like 57% against Oblivion, and that's assuming
Oblivion hasn't dropped a bit since 2010, which I think it has. It's a
good enough performance from SMRPG tor each the division finals, but
that's it. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
I was looking through some polls and found this one: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/5745-best-of-2014-wii-u Just for fun, how much does Smash get on San Andreas if we assume a constant Shovel Knight? |
If
Golden Sun could beat GTA, I'm sure CC could do the same. I don't know
how strong Shovel Knight is but given how it's an indie game that was
released within the past year or so and isn't Undertale, it's probably
not very. Only thing I'm worried about is the night vote. GTA is really strong in Europe and CC wasn't released there. But then again CC is kicking WoW's ass there. Ultimaphazon posted... I was looking through some polls and found this one: 95.27% Not factoring in SFF, obviously --- http://img.imgcake.com/whatisurnameplz/kermitgifre.gif Oh yea, I guess raytan won.

Having two of them on the same day seems likely to aggravate this mindset. I think gta will lose both matches regardless, but the reasoning here I disagree with entirely. It's kind of a stretch if you ask me. If they don't like gta then they will vote against it on whatever day or what other match is happening. I could see harm if there was an anti-gta rally sure, but in terms of base gamefaqs support I don't think it'll come into play. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
UberPyro64 posted... -Zelmor- posted...If RE4 loses to a fourth-tier Nintendo game (in terms of contest strength), then i really don't know what to say anymore. Witcher could legit take out Mario RPG. RE4 is a terrible matchup for any western game though. IT just has that insane fanbase. |
TsunamiXXVIII posted... charmander6000 posted...I mean it did beat SF2(?!?), but eh. 55% on Elder Scrolls aint s***. Bout to get beat down by RE4. Lol you're having a laugh aren't you? 80-20 Skyrim? The SFF isn't that strong. Skyrim would double it at best. 65-70 max. I'd say in the lower 60's. |
That
powerful Mario morning vote stopped the bleeding percentagewise, though
it's going down again, a lot slower this time, now that we're past
noon. One thing I've never understood, though it seems to be enduring
even this year, is why Mario is stronger in the morning than the
afternoon. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Januzaj Dragon, are you The Djoker? |
Is it possible that shenmue has boosted? I mean it had the really high profile kickstarter lately and I don't think we've seen it since the votals collapsed. --- Board 8's Voice of Reason http://i.imgur.com/chXIw06.jpg |
Eddv posted... Is it possible that shenmue has boosted? That kickstarter is literally the only reason Shenmue is even here. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
