Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1210
I'm worried about EB/Borderlands I doubt Borderlands is worth much of anything these days but could that still be enough here? --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
transience posted... I think the only conclusion worth much here is that RE4 should probably be a clear underdog to MGS unless you think MGS3 is stronger overall. Well yeah. I have a hard time seeing FFX laying the beatdown on MGS1 it laid on RE4. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
transience posted... I think the only conclusion worth much here is that RE4 should probably be a clear underdog to MGS unless you think MGS3 is stronger overall. And even if this is true, it also means you could take a hit on MGS3 beating MGS. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
if RE4 stays under 57%, is anyone taking a second look at Mario RPG? --- xyzzy |
MGS/FFX
is a match I've always wanted to see, especially after all their little
parallels in the 2009 contest (the RBY matchups, the MGS4/FFX
semifinals fight). That's the real tossup to me, not MGS/RE4. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
It'd have to get within 55/45 before I'd give Mario RPG a shot. I think SMRPG and Paper Mario are pretty close. But at least SMRPG is going to the division finals whoo! --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
transience posted... if RE4 stays under 57%, is anyone taking a second look at Mario RPG? Ehhhhhhhhhh no. That Europe collapse was something else last night. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
I was looking at the map. I don't think any other game in contest history has a geographical disadvantage like that. --- xyzzy |
transience posted... if RE4 stays under 57%, is anyone taking a second look at Mario RPG? Over RE4? I'd wager we end up with a duplicate match of what we have today. --- David Hayter Seriously, Who in the hell is "Draven?" (Sounds like a draggy crow.) |
Super Mario RPG would probably be an elite game if it had a proper European release. what might have been --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
You have people like Leon who only play like 4 different franchises and would vote for those games over anything else. --- David Hayter Seriously, Who in the hell is "Draven?" (Sounds like a draggy crow.) |
Looking
back at previous Paper Mario matches, it holds up much better in Europe
compared to SMRPG. So we're not going to see as extreme of a trend
shift for Paper Mario today. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
The Real Truth posted... You have people like Leon who only play like 4 different franchises and would vote for those games over anything else. you mean you have people like me who absolutely adore several franchises and love several of their games to death if you want to argue I don't play as many games as you, sure whatever, I don't care but if you want to say I only play FF, MGS, Mario, and [insert franchise here] then you're a little off base --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
whoa
let's not disparage playing only FF, MGS, Mario, and the venerable
[insert franchise here] now, that's not a bad spread if you only have to
pick four --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |

that's why they're my favorites! if I had to be on a desert island and could only play four franchises the rest of my life, I'd be hard pressed to leave behind [insert franchise here] --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Haven't read the reactions but PM got 42.51% of MGS3 and RE4~=MGS3. So this is looking status quo. I was surprised to see most in the Oracle going 60's for RE4. Anyone know why that was? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I actually lowered RE4 below 60% when I saw how well Paper Mario did against MGS3 in GotD. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
LeonhartFour posted... The Real Truth posted...You have people like Leon who only play like 4 different franchises and would vote for those games over anything else. Not arguing, just making an observation. Most people on this site have similar tendencies. But you end up missing on games you would probably like even more if you tried something new every once in awhile. --- David Hayter Seriously, Who in the hell is "Draven?" (Sounds like a draggy crow.) |
"if I tried something new every once in a while" I'm not going to say I'm diversified or anything but you honestly don't know what I play or don't play! You're only going after me because I said I've never played RE4! --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif (edited 11/17/2015 9:37:03 PM)report |
I was surprised to see most in the Oracle going 60's for RE4. Anyone know why that was? People forgot Paper Mario was a strong game, a 15 seed doesn't do it any justice either. --- BGE3: Today's Matches Witcher 3>BoI:R, MGS2>RE, Fallout:NV>BS:I, RE4>PM Points 46/52 |
Well
color me surprised that New Vegas is beating Infinite right now. I
mean, I agree wholeheartedly, but the hype was out of control when
infinite came out 2 years ago. Guess the honeymoon phase was over. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw1m2M8JdkU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw-sJW8mlMA MGS for PS1 looks better than Smash Bros for Wii U-Linetrix |
LeonhartFour posted... "if I tried something new every once in a while" That's probably true. I honestly believe Resident Evil 4 is the best game ever made. You know what I haven't played? SMRPG. I've played Paper Mario and TTYD, but never the original game. Is that weird? PS I'm almost done with Yoshi's Island and I will be starting SMRPG afterward. --- David Hayter Seriously, Who in the hell is "Draven?" (Sounds like a draggy crow.) |
Whoa how did Leon not play RE4 I mean Leon's the star of that game it doesn't even make mathematical sense --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Karma Hunter posted... Whoa how did Leon not play RE4 next you'll tell me he didn't get the 4 in his name from that game either --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
Actually,
yeah. It's weird, bu I'm kind of offended you haven't played RE4. Like
there are games everyone should play at least once. Oot, SMB1 and 3 (or World), FF7, Doom, Tetris, Mario Party, and of course, RE4. --- David Hayter Seriously, Who in the hell is "Draven?" (Sounds like a draggy crow.) |
It's a shame Paper Mario got completely wasted this contest. --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
I guess enough brackets have fallen that my 43 point bracket is back up the 90 percentile. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
I've never played Doom. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
The
record of each state in voting for the winner. I believe the only
result the US picked wrong as a whole is Kingdom Hearts vs Final Fantasy
9. The states with lower populations have the worst records, which is
understandable. 52-0 North Carolina, Tennessee 51-1 Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin (plus DC) 50-2 Arizona, California, Connecticut, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas 49-3 Alabama, Illinois, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Jersey, West Virginia 48-4 Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota 47-5 Mississippi, Utah 46-6 Delaware, Idaho, Rhode Island 44-8 Alaska, Montana, Vermont, Wyoming |

UberPyro64 posted... Lets see if Paper Mario can come back and upset Resident Evil 4. Let's not be silly now. ...though if you want something to keep an eye on, if RE4 doesn't pick up soon it's gonna fall behind MGS3's pace against Paper Mario in GOTD. panic time --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
If
Paper Mario can hold this number, that's not bad, but it will probably
fall off a good amount overnight and recover only a little with the day
vote tomorrow. Of course Paper Mario's late night won't be near SMRPG's
level of awful, but it will still likely be fairly painful. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
I honestly don't even like being called Leon! This ain't Kingdom Hearts! I was Leonhart4 before there was a Resident Evil 4! --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

Paper Mario jumped up a bit. --- Video Games are pretty cool. |
I want to start calling you Residenthart4 until you play RE4. --- David Hayter Seriously, Who in the hell is "Draven?" (Sounds like a draggy crow.) |

I myself rarely look at stats or past results when making Oracle picks. I kind of assume others have already done so. Perhaps there is still a competitive advantage to be gained from vanilla stats. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Annnnnnnnd on cue RE4 nearly got cut, and it's fallen behind MGS3's percentage on Paper Mario. Sound the alarms --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Eh, don't feel too bad for taking the infinite upset. It's not doing too too bad. Ah well. --- Hello, I'm Chris! https://media.giphy.com/media/2ZtIpjwFFjLHLNREpCU/giphy.gif |
So how much better is Doom than Wolfenstein 3D? I've played the latter up through Hitler and didn't like it much. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
