GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1211
It
looks like one of my upset picks might actually pay off. The fact that
it's my favorite game of all time makes it even better. Go EarthBound!! --- JAK The Character Battle IX people's champ. |
Shadow of the Colossus looking pretty good. These results make me very happy so far. --- Any sound can shake the air. My voice shakes the heart! -Sho Minamimoto |

EarthBohnd went up! --- satoru iwata |
Splatoon is...legit? I hope so --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
well if it's any solace to RDR based on round 1, I probably still take it over GTAV --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
I wonder if those pre contest analysis are here to troll us I believed them and was so wrong |
Ughhhhhhhh I hope a lot of people bit on Destiny or something --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Or 1-2-3 are all very close to each other --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
pjbasis posted... Splatoon is...legit? I hope so it'll probably drop below 20% once the match is over --- http://steamsignature.com/card/0/76561197979294707.png |
It's amazing how much this site hates western games. Not complaining though, go Earthbound! --- Christopher Christopher Christopher Christopher |
I
mean, to be fair Splatoon and Bayo2 are going to die soon. the board is
one of the most concentrated places of Wii U fandom that you'll find. but still, this is sad and MGS is basically 0 for 4. --- xyzzy |
guffguy89 posted... i think those 6 zero brackets are probably incomplete brackets or errors or something like that. What are the odds that 6 different anti-perfect brackets exist still? Nah, incomplete brackets don't show up in stats. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Argh,
so close to the leaderboard again with a score of 51, but not going to
make it. I thought I had picked Earthbound here, but apparently not. |
Leonhart’s Prediction: Metal Gear Solid with 84.80% --- Communists |
transience posted... I mean, to be fair Splatoon and Bayo2 are going to die soon. the board is one of the most concentrated places of Wii U fandom that you'll find. I'm not seeing it. MGS4/5 did poorly as expected, MGS2 did pretty much exactly as expected and MGS1 will look fine by the end of this match. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Goddammit, now I really wish I just fanboy'd pick EarthBound for the hell of it. Should've believed it was possible all along. --- http://www.backloggery.com/whitelens | http://myanimelist.net/profile/WhiteLens http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/5086952/ |
Unless
MGS starts choking away percentage or something I'm not particularly
worried about it making the semifinals. The expected spread was around
76% according to my one second glance? - and it's on the receiving end
of a pretty bad pic factor (which is usually minimal, but I can hardly
even notice it compared to what the hell is Splatoon) --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
I'm
happy for Earthbound, but I really wish I hadn't punked out and
switched my Oracle to Borderlands 2 in the last 10 seconds. I guess
that's why you leave yourself more time to finalize your decisions than
none at all. --- raytan is the guru champ, yo yo yo He won it in the year of the draggy crow |
alright, there we go. man, red dead is bad. it'll recover but I expected a lot more than this. --- xyzzy |
It's crazy how after 10 minutes a 24 hour match is already over. No..but wait...they could...what if... --- Don't mind me. I'm just here for the contest. |
10
people fell off the Top 50. chrfour, Wedge_Antilles, Lance574,
metalmillita, htaeD, DaGame007, link0825, schoony_5, ultragamer128 and
Evillordexdeath had at least one of Witcher 3, MGS2, F:NV or RE4 losing. 2 people scored three points and survived. Former first place pure_skill and grinningdemon18 got one wrong but are still on the Top 50. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
WhiteLens posted... Goddammit, now I really wish I just fanboy'd pick EarthBound for the hell of it. It's beautiful how well my fanboy picks have worked out for me. Currently #5 on the leaderboard :D --- Play Earthbound And Dragon Warrior(Quest) 7 |
t_kizzle posted... It's amazing how much this site hates western games. Not complaining though, go Earthbound! You should complain. There are a ton of truly fantastic games from the West, and these people are missing out if they turn a blind eye to it. --- 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. |
LeonhartFour posted... whoa MGS1 And I thought Wii U games would be prone to being anti-voted. I guess this match puts all of that to rest. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
-LusterSoldier- posted... And I thought Wii U games would be prone to being anti-voted. I guess this match puts all of that to rest. Why --- satoru iwata |
So much for Splatoon being legit. Surprised RDR dropped after the board vote. And goddamn Earthbound costing me in the Oracle. I expected Borderlands 2 to be much weaker than in the past, but I figured EB was still crap enough that it would lose (rather than B2 to win). --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Uhhhhh
just because this board is Wii U central doesn't mean that the site as a
whole isn't trashing Wii U games left and right. Have any of them
impressed? ...even met expectations? --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
The
assumption is that because the Wii U isn't doing so well on this site
and the fact it came after a very hated system in the Wii, the voters
might take that out on the Wii U games that are in the bracket by
anti-voting them. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
I fanboy picked Bayonetta 2 but not EarthBound. I'm going to get both matches wrong. I'm still somehow only two points off the lead in the guru. I love this contest. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |

Karma Hunter posted... Uhhhhh just because this board is Wii U central doesn't mean that the site as a whole isn't trashing Wii U games left and right. Have any of them impressed? well yeah, that's the point. the only one so far is against metal gear solid. even fire emblem put 65% on a wii u mario game. --- xyzzy |
Well this Borderlands 2 pick is looking like complete s*** --- 44/52 pts - GameFAQs' 20th Anniversary Best. Game. Ever. Contest! NP: Witcher 3/MGS2/Fallout: New Vegas/Resident Evil 4 |
Wow Shadow of the Colossus looks pretty good Are we going to see another miracle run? |
_Dog posted... t_kizzle posted...It's amazing how much this site hates western games. Not complaining though, go Earthbound! You're absolutely right, I used to think like that and now some of my favorite games are western- I was talking more in this particular case. --- Christopher Christopher Christopher Christopher |
So TF2 vs Splatoon. What wins? I think TF2 but that would mean SotC is probably more powerful than MGS1 which is unlikely I thought. --- Video Games are pretty cool. (edited 11/18/2015 9:15:22 PM)report |

The assumption is that because the Wii U isn't doing so well on this site and the fact it came after a very hated system in the Wii, the voters might take that out on the Wii U games that are in the bracket by anti-voting them. that doesn't make any sense, the board plays Wii U games more than the rest of the site |
and earthbound just goes up after the board vote. SNES is godlike. --- xyzzy |
New
games in general have been very disappointing, but specifically, this
would be a weird time to come to any conclusion on anti-votes. If they
do exist, it ain't gonna be now! --- satoru iwata |

transience posted... Karma Hunter posted...Uhhhhh just because this board is Wii U central doesn't mean that the site as a whole isn't trashing Wii U games left and right. Have any of them impressed? I was unaware Splatoon had any expectations (and regardless, if MGS continues to rise at this rate, it should look fine by the end of this). FE might've scored some SFF but Mario Maker is just weak. As for Bayonetta 2, this match was at least somewhat debated and it can't crack 40%. Is that really good? edit: on the other hand, it's getting closer than Borderlands! --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. (edited 11/18/2015 9:18:36 PM)report |
well, I had red dead over 70% so.... --- xyzzy |
VeryInsane posted... Wow Shadow of the Colossus looks pretty good I don't see how it beating MGS1 would be a miracle at this point. MGS has looked like s*** this contest. Currently, Team Fortress 2 has 27% and Splatoon has 24%. TF2 probably beats Splatoon in a blowout. Shadow of the Colossus is the favorite. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
VeryInsane posted... Wow Shadow of the Colossus looks pretty good If it does it again, that's not a miracle. That's SotC just being strong. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
This
isn't just "new games" when it comes to Borderlands. Borderlands is
just a flash in the pan game, especially with GameFAQs demographics. I
don't know any people who say yeah this is a series that I am a GIGANTIC
fan of for life. I was shocked to see it in this contest. I had doubts
about this match because of Earthbound's history but it always seemed to
me that lower votals and Earthbound's staying power would lead to a
win. Didn't think it'd be crushing THIS hard though. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
I
think I'm going to blame the analysts of Board 8 for my Borderlands 2
pick (without giving them credit for the matches where they saved me,
naturally!). --- raytan is the guru champ, yo yo yo He won it in the year of the draggy crow |
