http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/4176-southwest-division-round-3-portal-vs-mass-effect http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/4186-southwest-division-final-resident-evil-4-vs-portal I too overshot Smash 4 a bit, but looking at this, it doesn't make any sense to call the game a major disappointment unless you were expecting it to be able to be able to give Resident Evil 4 a scare or something. In which case, that was very foolish of you! --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
OrangeCrush980 posted... I think SSB4 would win that. Just like how HG/SS would beat GSC. Not even the same thing and no he and so wouldn't beat the originals. Brawl and smash u are different games. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
I get the feeling FF6/WW is going to be a close match the entire time and should be a fun one to watch. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy IX - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3729662 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
Ff6 will win by 55-58% normally. But we all know zelda is unpredictable. Wind Waker could make it close if there's rallies. But no it state strength is too weak. Even Majora would lose to FFVI. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
I think Melee is in that match yeah? so FF6 has to contend with that rally too. --- xyzzy (edited 11/22/2015 10:04:13 AM)report |
FF6's gonna beat WW with about 53%, barring rally shenanigans. --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima raytan: Champ without picking the champ |
Nobody plays Brawl anymore. It might lost to MGS4 again. --- Currently playing: Dark Souls 2 |
transience posted... I think Melee is in that match yeah? so FF6 has to contend with that rally too. no, R3 is CT/FFX, Melee/KHII on the first day, FF6/WW and SSB4/FF7 are on the next day |
Smash U has got to be the strongest Wii U game by a huge margin. Mass Effect could beat any of the others we've seen easily. --- Christopher Christopher Christopher Christopher |

creativename posted... There's a third factor Luster, which is especially important between games with lower playrates. Most polls have games with playrates under 50%. That's certainly a valid factor, but estimating a game's respect factor is harder than getting a read on a game's likeability and playrate. Games with a high respect factor will generally be those that are among the elites on this site. OoT would have a high respect factor for sure. With playrate, you can look at what systems the game has been released on and use that information to approximate the upper limit for the game's playrate. Smash 4 is a Wii U exclusive and the Wii U had an ownership of 45.70% in the previous Wii U ownership poll (on 7/6/2015). Since Smash 4 is the most high profile game to be released the Wii U and the biggest system seller, most Wii U owners have played the game. Thus, you can assume the game's playrate will be only slightly lower than the Wii U's ownership. Older games generally have higher playrates because older games are more likely to have been re-released on other systems, either as a remake or being ported to a newer system. That expands the potential pool of people who have been exposed to the game. Older games also have the advantage over newer games in playrate because the newer games haven't been around long enough for most people interested in the game to actually get around to playing the game. Estimating a game's likeability is not as easy as estimating the playrate, but you could do it by looking at the game's user rating on the site and also what people are saying about the game. For a game that belongs to an actual game series (with 2 or more games), you can also look at what people are saying about the game's likeability when compared to other games in the series. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ!

Luster or someone probably has the original post. I'm pretty sure I'm right though. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
Four Four Two Two Two One One Round 3, 4 and 5 are two matches a day. One match a day from then on. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
The
original post had a topic title that reads "Four Four Two One One One
One" and the first post of the topic said "And then we're done." Allen made a more recent topic (now purged) announcing a change to his original schedule. No changes were made to the first 3 rounds, but round 4 and round 5 will be 2 matches per day. While round 6 and round 7 (Semifinals and the final) being one match per day. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
oh cool, I am wrong then. FF6 wins, woo! --- xyzzy |
AxemRedRanger posted... http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/4176-southwest-division-round-3-portal-vs-mass-effect This is what I was thinking. Smash U is on Portal's level going by this. If you assume a constant Mass Effect and Morrowind Smash beats Metroid Prime. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
Prime would decimate Smash U, sorry. |
Wow, Prime is such a bastion of strength, that 50/50 against HL2 and that disappointing 63% against Morrowind. --- Man is not the creature of circumstances. Circumstances are the creatures of man. |
I think that today is going to be the last time I get all 4 matches right Maybe Skyrim>007 but I doubt it Actually maybe not, Division VIII is pretty easy too --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
-Zelmor- posted... Wow, Prime is such a bastion of strength, that 50/50 against HL2 and that disappointing 63% against Morrowind. HL2 would beat Smash U too. Lets not act like ME is anywhere near that level. ME2 maybe but thats debatable. Either way Smash U would get beat by a lot of western games. I'd take Fallout/Skyrim/RE4/ME2/Goldeneye and even TLOU over Smash U Also using the contest from 5 years ago doesn't mean anything. A super smash bros game is barely beating what is even a midcard Western game. Cmon now. EDIT re4 isn't western but it might as well be. (edited 11/22/2015 11:01:33 AM)report |
-Zelmor- posted... Wow, Prime is such a bastion of strength, that 50/50 against HL2 and that disappointing 63% against Morrowind. Melee got 71% on Morrowind, so that 63% doesn't seem too disappointing to me. GOTD logic giveth and GOTD logic taketh. --- My name is Monica Lewinsky, and I am here to collect the rent. |
Januzaj_Dragon posted... -Zelmor- posted...Wow, Prime is such a bastion of strength, that 50/50 against HL2 and that disappointing 63% against Morrowind. To be fair, your original statement was "Prime would DECIMATE Smash U". I could see Prime or HL2 barely edging out Smash U, but I highly doubt it's gonna be a huge blowout or anything. --- Man is not the creature of circumstances. Circumstances are the creatures of man. |
When I say Decimate I mean just beat it with 53%+ comfortably. I just like to use the word Decimate. |
Ulti-style destruction |
gearofages posted... -Zelmor- posted...Wow, Prime is such a bastion of strength, that 50/50 against HL2 and that disappointing 63% against Morrowind. But Melee lost to Brawl and bled 6% to Call of Duty - which, I may add, just got only 21% on Super Metroid. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
Januzaj_Dragon posted... -Zelmor- posted...Wow, Prime is such a bastion of strength, that 50/50 against HL2 and that disappointing 63% against Morrowind. I can't be the only one who finds Smash 4/Mass Effect to be reminiscent of Brawl/Fallout 3. Also it's kind of weird that we all act like Metroid Prime is so strong when the best it has ever done in these contests is 47% on Fallout 3. Take that away and you have getting 54-46'd by Wind Waker, losing to GTA, and a close win over Half-Life 2 in a day match. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil (edited 11/22/2015 11:30:19 AM)report |
-LusterSoldier- posted... Smash 4 is weak due to the lack of playrate. The underwhelming performance of Smash 4 has given quite a bit of insight as to what makes a game strong. From what I've noticed, there are 2 main factors that contribute to a game's strength: This isn't really anything new, coulda told you that in 2002 lol. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
I actually think Hyrule Warriors could have decent strength and win some matches. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
LinkMarioSamus posted... Januzaj_Dragon posted...-Zelmor- posted...Wow, Prime is such a bastion of strength, that 50/50 against HL2 and that disappointing 63% against Morrowind. Yeah but smash U is weaker. Thats my point. Anyhow Prime isn't that strong because it's a type of game Gfaqs don't play and it's on a system noone cares about. If you had a Metroid 64 as good as Good as Prime it would be stomping a lot of stuff in this contest. |
LinkMarioSamus posted... gearofages posted...-Zelmor- posted...Wow, Prime is such a bastion of strength, that 50/50 against HL2 and that disappointing 63% against Morrowind. you're using two contests and merging dicussions. Melee would 85% COD4 now. |
UltimaterializerX posted... I actually think Hyrule Warriors could have decent strength and win some matches. Honestly if we think the Zelda name actually means that much we should get Skyward Sword into a contest. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
Hyrule Warriors vs Mario Maker ez win |
1337gamerpr0 posted... Hyrule Warriors vs Mario Maker And then the winner is stomped by Half-Life 2 --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima raytan: Champ without picking the champ |
Currently, TTYD would have to be able to get 67.50% or more on Halo 1 for FFVI > FFVII. Just throwing that out there. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
LeonhartFour posted... Currently, TTYD would have to be able to get 67.50% or more on Halo 1 for FFVI > FFVII. in terms of raw statistics yes. But if FFVI and VIII meet theres a lot of SFF and rSFF going on. |
get rSFF out of here if FFVI isn't in FFVII's league it isn't winning without a rally --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
LeonhartFour posted... get rSFF out of here FFVI is in FFVII's league. Theres a league of about 5 games which threatening to be the #2 and FFVI is in that. FFVII is obviously the favourite. |
FFVI isn't ever going to be the #2 game on this site. If it beats FFVII, it's because VII got weaker. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Well
yeah true if VI ' beats VII it could just mean VI is just stronger than
VII. But the #2 is still debatable. FFVI has the potential. |
The #2 potentials are: Final Fantasy VII Chrono Trigger Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Super Mario 64 Pokemon RBY Those may not all be close and might not be #2-#6 even, but they're the potentials imo. --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. (edited 11/22/2015 12:42:46 PM)report |
and Melee. that's our new super seven, along with Ocarina. well, FF6 could slot in there too. gonna be fun to see how it does on Wind Waker. if it gets 56%+ then I think it belongs in the conversation. that'll put it above Majora. --- xyzzy |
honestly, it would have been interesting to have LTTP and/or MM on the top half of the bracket as well if it turns out LTTP is actually the #2 game on the site, then so be it |
SMB3 and SMW? --- My name is Monica Lewinsky, and I am here to collect the rent. |
Yeah, throw Melee in there to have a super seven or elite eight with FFVI maybe. I just don't think those two could be our #2. We'll know better once the contest ends. Only LttP is not gonna face the other contenders. --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
The
problem is that we won't really get a good feel for how strong LttP
even is this year. It's got a bunch of unknowns and Nintendo games in
its division, and then it gets fed to OoT. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
gearofages posted... SMB3 and SMW? Both very strong too, but if a Mario game is #2, it's SM64. --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
Eh,
Mario World could be the #1 Mario game and it wouldn't surprise me.
People want to push this as THE YEAR OF THE N64 because of OoT and
because MM won GOTD, but the SNES has been the dominant one. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif (edited 11/22/2015 12:51:39 PM)report |
LTTP
will hopefully stand up to SFF so we can get a good read on its floor.
The Nintendo fanbase is usually perceptive on when they need to fall in
line and when not to. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
