GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1211
Karma Hunter posted... Also would be surprised at the lack of commentary on MGS3 but I figure after yesterday people expect it to jump up a lot from the freeze. obv it's because Cloud and Snake are both in Smash --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
If
I knew I was going to be on the leaderboard at the end of round 1 I
wouldn't have made a ridiculous bracket with < 5% chance upset picks
all over the place in later rounds Oh well --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
although.. for comparison's sake, Persona 4 was at 75% on 999 after the freeze --- xyzzy |
transience posted... although.. for comparison's sake, Persona 4 was at 75% on 999 after the freeze Well, I'd imagine P4 has a better board vote than ME2 at the same time. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Only
100ish 54+ brackets, might be able to get onto the leaderboard before
dropping again (unless TLoU pulls off the upset on KH2; lots of people
automatically losing points on that match from taking MGS4) Interestingly, we lost two more "zero" brackets, which is kinda weird given I think we're assuming they're not real zero brackets? --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
I
made an alt joke bracket where all of the Pokemon games go as far as
they can (RBY wins). It will die as soon as GSC and XY lose, but it's
kind of funny that it somehow turned into my highest scoring round 1
bracket >_> --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
LOL Destiny probably just a massive bomb on its part but if Starcraft is back in form oh man --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |

I do think Mass Effect 2/Starcraft could be interesting though. I don't trust Mass Effect 2 at all. --- xyzzy |

I'm just here for the contest. |
Originally had MGS 3 at 69% welp |
1337gamerpr0 posted... pick Earthbound thinking it loses, it wins, there goes bracket The best real brackets have missed 4 matches, so it seems pretty likely that something is glitching with the 0 brackets (like counting incomplete entries as valid or something). We've had 6 for quite some time, so I'm surprised they were able to move at all. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Persona 4 probably SFF'd 999. --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
Mass Effect 2 why would you do this to me --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
transience posted... I do think Mass Effect 2/Starcraft could be interesting though. I don't trust Mass Effect 2 at all. I'm hoping for this. I took SC>ME2 without even thinking about it and then I came here and learned that ME2 was heavily favored. Feeling pretty good with my pick right now. --- This sentence has five words. This sentence has eight words. Only one sentence in this signature is true. (edited 11/19/2015 9:11:23 PM)report |
Carriers have arrived, make your time ME2 --- BGE3: Today's Matches MGS3>Mother 3, BioShock>SH2, Starcraft>Destiny, ME2>VLR Points 53/60 |
Starcraft > Mass Effect 2 There goes bracket!!! --- Man is not the creature of circumstances. Circumstances are the creatures of man. |
-Zelmor- posted... Starcraft > Mass Effect 2 Had ME2 getting all the way to the semi-final. LOL --- Cranky's Advice - "git gud" Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
I don't see why it wouldn't. --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
Before
the hyperbole starts: I think these are fine results for ME2 and MGS3
and they only look iffy because Destiny is bombing to an insane degree --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Looks like the most impressive think ME will do this contest is barely beat SMG2 --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
I think Destiny will probably go up at least a couple percent from here. I really doubt it got the board vote. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword (edited 11/19/2015 9:13:05 PM)report |

Yeah
I picked ME2 to win next round, but I am perfectly fine with Starcraft
making another surprise run :D so it's win-win for me --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
Yea VLR probably has a really good board vote. --- Cranky's Advice - "git gud" Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
alright, there we go ME2 I'm trying not to judge ME2 until we see Mass Effect/Smash 4. that's also an ambiguous matchup but much less so than VLR. --- xyzzy |
For
the record, when I first saw this bracket I thought that Destiny would
be one of the absolute weakest games in it. You want to talk about a
poor reputation and anti-votes? There you go. Nice result for Starcraft, puts it in the running, but I'm absolutely not convinced Destiny would even beat Virtue's Last Reward --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
yeah
I thought it was crap too. I said this in my writeup, but the only
reason I didn't take Starcraft in the 70s was because I just don't think
Starcraft means a whole lot to people today like it did then. there's
90s nostalgia and then there's PC exclusives. --- xyzzy |
I thought this board loved MGS3 you people lied to me --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
They love Mother more. --- Cranky's Advice - "git gud" Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
The early vote isn't just comprised of B8. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Karma Hunter posted... I thought this board loved MGS3 you people lied to me Well, it's a matter of perspective. Board 8 loves Mother 3 more compared to the site in general. Same for Virtue's Last Reward (or pretty much any visual novel). --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
MGS is the new FFVII --- BGE3: Today's Matches MGS3>Mother 3, BioShock>SH2, Starcraft>Destiny, ME2>VLR Points 53/60 |
And
really when you compare how badly MGS1's board vote was against
Splatoon of all things, MGS3's board vote against Mother 3 has looked
pretty solid so far. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
ME starting to overcome the early vote, don't stop. --- Cranky's Advice - "git gud" Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
Well, it's official: Destiny is HATED in GameFAQs. About a decade ago, there was another user on Board 8 that would evaluate the "winners" and "losers" of the round. I'd like to do something similar. Expect that to happen sometime tomorrow. --- Ole, ole, ole, ole. Ole! Ole! (Accents and inverted !-marks missing) On a bet with three other users on if a certain girl genie will be in Smash; I say no. |
Do
you guys not know how the board vote works? It's all relative, not
absolute here. Like assume we were having a B8 tournament - Persona 4
would 60-40 999 and MGS3 would go 58-42 against Mother 3. Even though
those are the preferred games here, 999 and Mother 3 still "win" the
board vote, because they have a much higher playrate on B8 than the rest
of the site. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |
I
was thinking of doing that.. I used to do those each year. this year I
think there's just too many entrants in too little time to really put
something comprehensive together. --- xyzzy |
transience posted... I was thinking of doing that.. I used to do those each year. this year I think there's just too many entrants in too little time to really put something comprehensive together. It's doable if you limit it to only a few in each category, like just the top 5/bottom 5 --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
Yeah, four matches a day and 128 entrants makes that tough, but I could probably put something together quickly. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Mass Effect please. Stop bleeding. *refreshes page* that's better. --- Cranky's Advice - "git gud" Oh yea, I guess raytan won. (edited 11/19/2015 9:31:25 PM)report |
