GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1211
It's
weird, I thought about taking SotC through this division, but couldn't
pull the trigger in the end. Might be kicking myself here. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
The main thing I want to know is: can we finally admit that Game of the Year polls are useless for gauging contest strength? --- JAK The Character Battle IX people's champ. |
Karma Hunter posted... Man are we really talking Earthbound > MGS upset chatter now Borderlands 2 would totally double Splatoon man LOL Wii U and all that (which is what it would need to do for EB > MGS to happen, for the record) --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

Karma Hunter posted... Man are we really talking Earthbound > MGS upset chatter now I'm just screwing with you at this point --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
ZFS posted... Did I miss something when did Witcher 3 become rallyable CD Projeckt Red practically rallies it in everything. They of course might just not care about GameFAQs and ignore this contest. But who knows. --- Video Games are pretty cool. |
What do you expect FFVII to get against OoT? could anything else do better than FFVII barring rallies? --- Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die. |
LeonhartFour posted... almost makes me want to say Awakening has the advantage next round but OLD GAMES Awakening has the advantage because it's actually not fodder like Xenoblade is. --- http://i.imgur.com/l7xxLh1.jpg |
earth bound is better than borderlands 2 ? really ? u guys must be from 2000s kids . |
goty polls are fine. 2012 is just a total dearth of popular video games. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |

Calintares posted... What do you expect FFVII to get against OoT? 47% --- Welcome to the League of raytan, CBIX Guru winner! http://backloggery.com/articuno2001/sig.gif |
LeonhartFour posted... TheCodeisBosco posted...The main thing I want to know is: can we finally admit that Game of the Year polls are useless for gauging contest strength? Well even today people were using the GotY polls to argue The Borderlands would beat Earthbound. --- Any sound can shake the air. My voice shakes the heart! -Sho Minamimoto |
Fire Emblem not fodder? Scary thought --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
LeonhartFour posted... TheCodeisBosco posted...The main thing I want to know is: can we finally admit that Game of the Year polls are useless for gauging contest strength? And yet they still get brought up. >_> --- JAK The Character Battle IX people's champ. |
Oh. Well, I don't think it has any shot, even with a rally, of beating Ocarina, but I wouldn't be surprised if it beats MGS2! --- satoru iwata |
We bring them up for reference points, not necessarily because we believe them to be perfect predictors of strength. Pretty sure no one would predict MGS4 to go toe to toe with Brawl anymore! --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif (edited 11/18/2015 9:39:55 PM)report |
The
big flaw with GotY polls is that games released closer to the end of
the year tend to overperform somewhat. A lot of GotY winners have
featured games that were released in October or November of each year.
Some of the few exceptions include Brawl and Wind Waker (both released
in March). --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
I'd be decently impressed with FF7 if it could crack 43-45% on OoT. ...well, no. If it makes the finals it's proven itself at least to some extent and the voters actually do know Zelda Always Wins at this point. It'll probably get its customary 46-48% if it gets that far. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
pjbasis posted... Fire Emblem not fodder? Scary thought You greatly misunderstand just how much bigger of a game Awakening was than the other Fire Emblem games. It's not strong, but it will beat DKC2 handily. --- http://i.imgur.com/l7xxLh1.jpg |
Although
if consensus is OoT > FF7 in the finals with 53%~ I'm a bit confused
with the proclamations of its invincibility; that's not a very big
margin to make up! (it won't, but still) --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
and while we're at it, 2010 goty is questionable too. I wonder about mass effect 2. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
Calintares posted... What do you expect FFVII to get against OoT? I think Ocarina could push 57-60% against FF7. Nothing else could get as close, though, even if there are games stronger than FF7. Nothing else stands enough apart. --- satoru iwata |
tazzyboyishere posted... pjbasis posted...Fire Emblem not fodder? Scary thought I wouldn't even necessarily take Awakening>FE7 |
tazzyboyishere posted... pjbasis posted...Fire Emblem not fodder? Scary thought FE:A should still be solidly weaker than FE7. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
So Splatoon > TF2? --- Formerly known as Dilated Chemist |
I'd take awakening over fe7. probably not head to head though. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |

creativename posted... SOTC is not the favorite over MGS, come on now. SotC could even be stronger today than it was during GotD because an HD remake was released about a year after GotD happened. http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps3/998181-the-ico-and-shadow-of-the-colossus-collection --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
transcience posted... and while we're at it, 2010 goty is questionable too. I wonder about mass effect 2. Yeah, but I don't think Starcraft/Destiny can take advantage of whatever weakness it might have. I'd probably take ME1 over both of them. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Oh but as to the actual question if Undertale actually makes it to OoT it's going to freaking slaughter Zelda. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Slaughter bzzzt --- satoru iwata |
Ehhh, Draven had a much bigger rallybase and only beat Link by like, 500 votes. --- http://i.imgur.com/l7xxLh1.jpg |
if Undertale makes it to the final I might actually have to vote for OoT I never thought this day would come --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
tazzyboyishere posted... Ehhh, Draven had a much bigger rallybase and only beat Link by like, 500 votes. 700 But that was like the most painful defeat I ever witnessed. |
OoT is good though, so you should be voting for it in a lot of cases! --- http://i.imgur.com/l7xxLh1.jpg |
Also,
for the record, SotC/TF2 was projected to be 64% for SotC based on
GOTD, but TF2 was in Fallout 3's division. Pretty much everything
associated with FO3 in GOTD has underperformed thus far. UC2 is pretty much the only exception. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif (edited 11/18/2015 9:52:35 PM)report |
I
feel like, compared to other titles from last gen, Mass Effect 2 has
done a noticeably better job retaining - or perhaps even building upon -
its reputation. I'm not too concerned about it, especially since ME1 surpassed my expectations. --- JAK The Character Battle IX people's champ. |
I think FF7 gets 44%-46.5% vs. OoT. I wouldn't be shocked if DKC2 won, but despite Anti-MilennialFAQs I'd favor FE:A over it. Not confidently though. But FE:A was pretty popular. Even I bought it, and I barely play games anymore. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Draven
wasn't even at full strength (MMX/Ryu) and Link was still never truly
in the match. Undertale's chances of losing if it makes it all the way -
think about how many titans it will have toppled at this point - all the way to OoT are roughly nil. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
The entire idea of being able to rally against Ocarina of Time
seems crazy. It's like an infinitely more trying process than even
Link. That is the Video Game of all Video Games. Undertale people would
probably be like now wait a minute --- satoru iwata |
Assuming a constant TF2, Shadow of the Colossus... wins the contest. --- Currently playing: Dark Souls 2 |
Big Bob posted... Assuming a constant TF2, Shadow of the Colossus... wins the contest. Not quite, unless you think MM = OoT! It would get 56.85% on MM based on this performance though! --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
The
thing about Awakening is that it turned Fire Emblem into a series that
gamers actually care about, and I feel like the board forgets that
because people here have loved it since before it was even in the
States. Like, this new FE is getting three f***ing games and a s***load of press. Nintendo would not be putting this much milk into the game had Awakening been received the same way as everything before Awakening was. --- http://i.imgur.com/l7xxLh1.jpg |

People
said it was impossible to rally against Link and, again, I repeat, he
was never truly in that match despite a preposterously herculean effort
on the part of GameFAQs as a whole. Tumblr users who have clicked
through the notes to vote in that theoretical final, when Undertale is
on the precipice of completing its Cinderella, aren't going to abandon
it there. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |

Undertale's chances of losing if it makes it all the way - think about how many titans it will have toppled at this point - all the way to OoT are roughly nil. I am pretty confident Link would've won without the downtime at his peak time. So I don't know how you can he was never truly in the match. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
