Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1212
I
nailed MGS3's percentage more or less. but that's because I didn't
expect a lot / I expected the Mother fanbase to not abandon its game. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
Yeah
I was saying yesterday that I expected Mother 3 to get around 30%. So I
can't say MGS3 is underperfoming, really. Mother 3 is stronger than
some people here seem to think and has probably boosted since GOTD. --- Any sound can shake the air. My voice shakes the heart! -Sho Minamimoto |
updating the list of elite games. I'll try to keep this up each day. division 8 in bold today. Zelda: Ocarina of Time - 91% on Hearthstone Zelda: Link to the Past - 88% on Cave Story Chrono Trigger - 86% on Ratchet and Clank 3 Mario 3 - 84% on AOE2 Mario World - 84% on Animal Crossing (pre-Undertale rally) Final Fantasy VII - 84% on Journey Fallout 3 - 81% on Life is Strange (pre-Undertale rally) Mario 64 - 80% on Mario Kart 8 Metal Gear Solid - 79% on Splatoon Super Metroid - 79% on Call of Duty 4 Mass Effect 2 - 79% on Virtue's Last Reward Smash 4 - 79% on Planescape: Torment Pokemon GSC - 77% on TWEWY Final Fantasy VI - 77% on Assassin's Creed 2 Zelda: Majora's Mask - 76% on Valkyria Chronicles Symphony of the Night - 75% on Phoenix Wright 3 Zelda: Wind Waker - 73% on Pokemon X/Y Zelda: Twilight Princess - 72% on Skies of Arcadia Metal Gear Solid 3 - 70% on Mother 3 Pokemon RBY - 68% on Tetris Super Smash Bros Melee - 68% on Portal Skyrim - 67% on Phoenix Wright (possibly skewed due to aftereffects of rally) Super Mario Galaxy - 64% on Dragon Age: Origins Final Fantasy X - 64% on Half-Life Half-Life 2 - 64% on Demon's Souls Metroid Prime - 63% on Morrowind Kingdom Hearts 2 - 59% on MGS4 Resident Evil 4 - 59% on Paper Mario Final Fantasy VIII - 58% on GTA: Vice City (pre-Undertale rally) Goldeneye 007 - 56% on Diablo 2 Super Mario RPG - 54% on Oblivion Final Fantasy IX - 51% on Kingdom Hearts --- xyzzy |
No Shadow of the Colossus? --- Any sound can shake the air. My voice shakes the heart! -Sho Minamimoto |
Aw yeah DMC3 just a little weaker than MGS3 --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
you're missing Persona 4 and GTAV. So now that round 1 is over what is the weakest game in this bracket? I'd say my bottom 5 is probably - 999 - Destiny - Rachet and Clank 3 - Hearthstone - cAve Story |
Evillordexdeath posted... No Shadow of the Colossus? Januzaj_Dragon posted... you're missing Persona 4 and GTAV. His list is already too diluted to be "elite" as it is, stop trying to force even weaker games onto it. --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima raytan: Champ without picking the champ |
Well
in the case of SotC I think it's stronger than some of the games he's
got on there. Certainly Mario RPG, probably many of the others. --- Any sound can shake the air. My voice shakes the heart! -Sho Minamimoto |
yeah I should be removing games, not adding them. though I'd take Mario RPG over SOTC. --- xyzzy |
Prediction - GSC will totally bomb, Melee with 65% People will discuss if GSC got SFF'd hard or it's just plain weak --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
that would be quite the drop from GOTD |
swirIdude posted... Evillordexdeath posted...No Shadow of the Colossus? SOTC would beat half of those games on the list. |
transience posted... yeah I should be removing games, not adding them. though I'd take Mario RPG over SOTC. I wouldn't. art man. Art. |
Silent Hill 2 should be higher. |
Would you put Starcrafts Strength equal to Diablo II? If so then ME2/Starcraft will be a close match. ME2 wins 55-45 at best. |
Nanis23 posted... Prediction - GSC will totally bomb, Melee with 65% People would be ignoring a third possibility in this case Which is that Melee grew in strength since GotD --- RIP in Pieces GamerJM, 2007-2015. You will be missed. #UnPermabanJim |
What
reason does Melee really have to be stronger though? I guess
competitive Melee is bigger than ever but really how much of the site is
going to care about that. It's not like Brawl falling off a cliff is
really going to make Melee stronger somehow. It should look fine against GSC, 53-55ish seems like the range Melee'll hit to me. --- sig pssssssssssst - http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/568795-soccer-challenge |

It's not like Brawl falling off a cliff is really going to make Melee stronger somehow. Nostalgia + competitive people + I have a feeling after Wii U's underperformance that for some reason Brawl people fell off a cliff which led to Melee improving (this could just be because of nostalgia as well) Also I know most people on this site don't care about competitive Melee but it has to have SOME effect, I think. The scene's blown up in the last couple years and big tournaments are being streamed on Twitch all of the time, so it's at least something that's in the public gaming consciousnesses more than it was in like 2010, even if that doesn't have a significant effect on GameFAQs it still has an effect. Personally I think GSC has a good chance of getting something like that on Melee due to these factors but much more due to SFF, though. --- RIP in Pieces GamerJM, 2007-2015.

Smash Wii U's....underperformance?? --- Blasting off |
really, Melee would be fine just matching MM's percentage on GSC, maybe aim a little higher (I'm not really seeing SFF here, for that matter) (edited 11/20/2015 1:09:08 PM)report |
pjbasis posted... Aw yeah DMC3 just a little weaker than MGS3 Even if you assume a static Mother 3, MGS3 still wins with 57%! Utter destruction, as Ulti would say. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
redrocket_pub posted... Smash Wii U's....underperformance?? My mistake, for some reason I remembered it getting lower than 79% on Planescape. --- RIP in Pieces GamerJM, 2007-2015. You will be missed. #UnPermabanJim |

I guess competitive Melee is bigger than ever but really how much of the site is going to care about that. It's not like Brawl falling off a cliff is really going to make Melee stronger somehow. You're thinking too much on Melee. Head to the Smash 4 board--Melee and its fans are not taken very well over there. The competitive community is smaller than you think. It should still beat G/S/C, but if Melee blows the game out it's more likely due to SFF more than anything else. --- 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. |
What percentage does Mother 3 need to be able to get on Splatoon for MGS3 = MGS1? --- Any sound can shake the air. My voice shakes the heart! -Sho Minamimoto |

Melee fans were taken worse on the Brawl board back in the day than they are on the Wii U board from what I've seen Brawl/Wii U fans just hate Melee fans with a ridiculous passion, especially here, probably because GameFAQs people are a******s and SSB has one of the biggest divides within its fanbase so people are naturally going to argue, outside of Smash Wii U game boards most people probably don't give a s*** about Melee's fanbase unless they're in it and associate Melee with good times from when they were younger --- RIP in Pieces GamerJM, 2007-2015.

How much of a chance are we giving The Last of Us to win? |
I'm gonna say 20%ish? I don't expect it to happen but if it did I wouldn't be shocked. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Well,
like tranny said, it's entirely possible all TLOU did was expose Halo 3
as a fraud. Halo 1's unimpressive showing on Minecraft might
corroborate that a bit. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
That would be consistent with CoD4 falling off a cliff (which I think is more likely than Super Metroid being THAT strong) --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
The Last of Us looked good, but I doubt it's quite on Kingdom Hearts II level- --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |
LeonhartFour posted... Well, like tranny said, it's entirely possible all TLOU did was expose Halo 3 as a fraud. Halo 1's unimpressive showing on Minecraft might corroborate that a bit. This. And the fact that pretty much all Gen 6, 7 & 8 FPS games have also been pretty unimpressive supports that theory. --- Yay - Raytan is the guru champion of awesomeness. |
I wrote about that for the crew today. stay tuned~ --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
I don't think twitch popularity means much on this site. Melee is just the stronger game. --- Your signature is automatically appended to the bottom of every post you make. Your 'About Me' message is displayed on your profile page. You can include any in |
Melee has seen a resurgence because of its competitive viability. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Melee
isn't going to change in any of these aspects. it's going to change if
the site has shifted away from being big fans of it. Smash 4 declining
is a sign of Smash going down, not the fanbase preferring Melee or
whatever. --- xyzzy |
competitive scene would give Melee at most a boost of like, 1% not really a gamechanger I will say, however, that Melee is a lot more rallyable than it was before (edited 11/20/2015 2:32:03 PM)report |
Top 5 STARS and TURDS of R1: Stars: 1) The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Hearthstone would beat about 15% of the games in the bracket, possibly more. So many people play it, it's got a huge player base! What Ocarina of Time did by reaching 91% was just... awesome. That game is not losing till the semifinals at the very least. 2) Starcraft In a slightly debated match(7% of Gurus had Destiny), Starcraft goes out and puts up 74.5%. All the more important because of the weakness of the division. 3) Undertale RALLY! 4) Mega Man X In a debated match(30% of Gurus had Batman), Mega Man X goes out and puts up 60%. Just crushes Batman. Puts some fear into people with FFX winning in the next round. 5) Shadow of the Collosus 72.69% against Team Fortress 2(a game that would beat 10% of the games in the bracket) was an unexpected surprise. It definetely has a shot against Metal Gear Solid coming up. Turds: 1) Super Mario Maker Turns out the Mario name isn't enough. Getting stomped by Fire Emblem Awakening with 64.39% crushed so many brackets in the Guru(44.16% had it winning) 2) Borderlands 2 Uhhh... so this was the game of the year in 2009? Lose by 58% to Earthbound in a debated match? What a stinker of a performance 3) Final Fantasy X Underperformed median Oracle expectations by 3%, supposed to be winning this division? Winning with only 64% against Half Life 1 was bad. Half-Life is no where close to the strength of Half-Life 2. So many people have this game winning the division(25% of gurus), yet it's not looking good against the other monsters of this Division(CT, Melee). 4) World of Warcraft 37% of Gurus had it winning. There was a potential for both EXPANSION and NEW MOVIE hype, yet people never rally for this game. Losing to Crono Cross with just 42% of the vote was ugly, didn't even make a match out of it. 5) Resident Evil 4 58.87% against Paper Mario does not inspire a lot of confidence to the majority of people taking this game to go far. Yes it's division is weak, but the game possibly dropped in strength from 2010. Maybe the numerous further games in the series have diluted somewhat the strength of 4.

POOTERSS posted... Hearthstone would beat about 15% of the games in the bracket, possibly more. So many people play it, it's got a huge player base! What Ocarina of Time did by reaching 91% was just... awesome. That game is not losing till the semifinals at the very least. Uhh, Heartstone would definitely not beat 15% of the games in the bracket. It's probably among the very weakest. Only a potential rally could make it beat anything that isn't turbo fodder. And if OoT does lose, it certainly wont be in the semi-final either. There is nothing in the bottom quarter of the bracket that can come close to it. It's obviously very likely to win, but if it does lose, it'll be in the finale. --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |
Wasn't RE4's performance like right what the GOTD x-stats predicted? Unless you think Paper Mario is weaker this year just because its seed is lower lol. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
can't agree with most of that post - though the only thing I can say definitively is that Borderlands 2 didn't come out in '09! --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
ctesjbuvf posted... POOTERSS posted...Hearthstone would beat about 15% of the games in the bracket, possibly more. So many people play it, it's got a huge player base! What Ocarina of Time did by reaching 91% was just... awesome. That game is not losing till the semifinals at the very least. 15% of 128 games = 20 games. Here's 20 games I would pick Hearthstone over in this contest: 1) 999 2) Virtue's Last Reward 3) Age of Empires 2 4) World Ends With You 5) Planescape Torment 6) The Walking Dead 7) Life is Strange 8) Baldur's Gate II(close one) 9) Phoenix Wright: Trials 10) Cave Story 11) Call of Duty IV 12) Shenmue 13) Binding of Issac: Rebirth 14) Splatoon 15) Bayonetta 2 16) Mother 3 17) Ratchet and Clank 3(close one) 18) Halo 3(close one) 19) Monster Hunter 4U(close one) 20) Bloodborne(close one) |
Bloodborne at the very least would crush an unrallied Hearthstone. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
transcience posted... can't agree with most of that post - though the only thing I can say definitively is that Borderlands 2 didn't come out in '09! you're right! Game of the Year for 2011, not 2009. |
swirIdude posted... So MGS3's struggling with Mother, Starcraft is crushing Destiny almost as badly as ME2 is crushing VLR. I would think Destiny is stronger than VLR... Starcraft to not only the division final, but to the SEMIFINALS! |
transience posted... Stars: pretty good list, CT though at number 1 I don't agree with. Zelda: OOT should be higher. |
1337gamerpr0 posted... competitive scene would give Melee at most a boost of like, 1% I've thought about encouraging a Melee rally on r/smashbros, tbh. I think I will if the Undertale rally goes anywhere (or maybe not if I play through Undertale and decide I love it before that happens). It's a good rally game because it's something that the fans are super passionate about. Like, something like Destiny or Hearthstone has a way, way bigger fanbase, but the fanbase all has grievances with the game itself. Melee's fanbase literally thinks that the game is God and perfection incarnate. --- RIP in Pieces GamerJM, 2007-2015. You will be missed. #UnPermabanJim (edited 11/20/2015 3:04:35 PM)report |
I
would pick most of those against Hearthstone. Well, we probably wont
ever find out, but we can probably get some calculations later on. --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |
_SJimW_ posted... 1337gamerpr0 posted...competitive scene would give Melee at most a boost of like, 1% DON'T DO IT. I need Gold/SIlver to smash that nub game Super Smash Bros. MAYLAY. Plus original Smash 64 is better than Melee ^)^ |
