GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1219
yeah
what is up with FF8 - that game is a huge outlier to everything else
we've seen, maybe moreso than anything else this contest --- xyzzy |
What if.... Suikoden II > FFVIII ??? .... --- Yay - Raytan is the guru champion of awesomeness. |
GranzonEx posted... Reg posted...You know Yes but those are things that aren't actually potentially happening I got something right and even if the rest of my bracket is utter s*** at this point I feel amazing for it (ok GTAV can still theoretically happen but uh 'good luck') |
transience posted... yeah what is up with FF8 - that game is a huge outlier to everything else we've seen, maybe moreso than anything else this contest like I keep saying! when Mario World is validated as the strongest Mario game that won't look so bad --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

Except ff8 which couldnt even 60-40 vice city. Ff8 turd of the contest so far. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
Wow,
these vote totals are pretty good so far. Assuming there's no
frontloaded voting in today's matches, we're on track for about
46000-48000 votes per match and that's after we're 2 days removed from
the Undertale rally. This is also about 3000 votes less than what
yesterday's matches got. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Why are people acting like this means OoT can't smash Fallout 3 with 70%? Are they forgetting this is 90'sFAQs/JRPGFAQs? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Cuts against diddy kong are meaningless. Diddy got this. What updates is zelda pushing now? % went from 74.7 to 75.3 in like 4 updates --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |

So what could make DKC2 beat Symphony of the Night next round? --- Video Games are pretty cool. |
OOT probably ends up around 80. And no it wouldn't surprise me if suikoden beat halo. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |

Yeah, DKC2/Awakening is pretty much done. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

UberPyro64 posted... KamikazePotato posted...Yeah, DKC2/Awakening is pretty much done. an occasional cut here and there is not a comeback! |
I'm
so proud of DKC2! I didn't think it would get out of round 1, and now
this. It may not hold, but I'm really happy with what it's done. --- -_-...-_- ...-_-... |
Fallout
3 is not failing to break 30% on this ridiculousness. It's not
happening. If you think otherwise, you're wrong. I'm inclined to give
the benefit of the doubt to arguments conducted in good faith but it's
not even a remote possibility. This is Suikoden II. This is a game that got 57% on Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate (and based on this performance, MH4U would have 21.3% on OoT right now). Fallout 3, especially considering Fallout 4 was barely released two weeks ago, would not fail to hit 30%. It. Would. Not. Happen. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |

I think OoT has gotten to the point its tough to completely kill things anymore because of anti votes --- http://steamsignature.com/card/0/76561197979294707.png |
2Dover3D posted... I think OoT has gotten to the point its tough to completely kill things anymore because of anti votes it literally got 90% last round --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
That was just a mobile game and if theres one thing people on Gamefaqs hate more then anything its mobile games Against anything with any kind of actual strength I think it'll be easy to anti vote it --- http://steamsignature.com/card/0/76561197979294707.png |
Hearthstone confirmed so terrible people can't even be bothered to go through with their antivotes /s |
2Dover3D posted... I think OoT has gotten to the point its tough to completely kill things anymore because of anti votes Eh, it's hard for an "anti-vote" magnet to get the blowout of the contest, and OoT did that easily. This is just a throwaway match - everyone now realizes OoT is gonna win so they can be cute and vote for a cult classic and high-five each other about it. It's like how Majora's Mask always beats OoT in meaningless board polls. When things don't matter, everyone acts cute. When things actually matter (like, say, a contest final or contest final-equivalent), everyone always comes home to daddy. --- http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
1337gamerpr0 posted... Hearthstone confirmed so terrible people can't even be bothered to go through with their antivotes /s would have been a perfect post without the sarc tag --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Yeah I don't think I could anti-vote for Hearthstone, I'd feel too dirty --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. (edited 11/24/2015 10:59:00 PM)report |
This
result isn't even explained if you think a bunch of the Tumblr guys
stayed. I mean Zelda is quite high in their hierarchy and Suikoden is
old so if anything they would be voting more for OoT than Suikoden. |
By the way, I think this performance puts FF9 just above KH2 and just below RE4 Not too shabby --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
CaptainOfCrush posted... 2Dover3D posted...I think OoT has gotten to the point its tough to completely kill things anymore because of anti votes I said this to myself about FFVII for years Now look where I am, a broken shell of a man posting in CS&D Part 1219 at 2 am EST I mean I'd have gotten here anyway but it makes it marginally more depressing --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
To be fair Suikoden is actually a really huge BL magnet. That seems kind of Tumblrish. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
KamikazePotato posted... By the way, I think this performance puts FF9 just above KH2 and just below RE4 and now it'll get overrated relative to the rest of the field after it overperforms on OoT next round a banner year --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Wow,
this is a great performance by Suikoden. OOT not really inspring
confidence here. But no, Fallout 3 would not break 30% on OOT. Not in
this 90s nostalgiafest. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
this
is right about the point where Xenoblade started making a move,
although of course it wasn't a very smooth one and DKC2 kept sneaking in
the occasional cut |
Ugh being from the 90s isn't enough Skyrim 60/40'd the hell out of Goldeneye 007 There's no way no how that Fallout 3 fails to 60/40 Suikoden II it's SUIKODEN II what is OoT doing --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
This is JRPGFAQs now! |
Or to put it another way, since there's some weird 90s jRPG aura of invincibility going on here (...why?), there's no way FO3 fails to double MH4U, and that's what would need to happen for OoT to crack 70% on it right now. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
I
mean I admit I didn't anticipate this result. I think OOT's strength
is much more of a known than Suikoden though, so I'm revising my
estimation of Suikoden more than OOT. If RBY (high chance) or SMW (probably not) knocks out Undertale, I will be spinning this result into a CT > OOT fanboy upset train. JRPGFAQS! --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Okay now Fire Emblem is coming back. --- Video Games are pretty cool. |
should RBY fail I'd rather have Melee as the next line of defense after all, the community has experience handling upstart indie games |
Sure,
there's always the possibility that Suikoden II has been a stealth
midcarder even though it's only made the bracket once, and at a 16 seed
at that, and could only score 57% on MH4U. I don't buy it at all, but
sure. But FFIX is gonna throw a wrench into that next round. If OoT gets ripped again are we gonna revise our estimation of FFIX up too? --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Lmao oot being weak as f*** today.. --- nt |
I wonder if we can rally FFIX to beat Ocarina of Time. That would be neat right? Even though OoT is in my top 5 games ever, I think it would be fun. --- Video Games are pretty cool. |
If OoT gets ripped again are we gonna revise our estimation of FFIX up too? Well, we already have this year, from past years, since it beat Kingdom Hearts. As for revising it up further, I'd adjust OOT just as much if that were to happen. Actually, now that you mentioned that Suikoden has been in one contest before, I looked at it and... it lost in round 1.....to Final Fantasy VII. Now I feel really stupid for predicting OOT to get the same 85% FFVII got last time. That would be an almost impossibly tall order for OOT to match FFVII's SFF power here. This performance doesn't look as bad anymore, though if OOT hangs out at 75% I'd still consider it a disappointment. If it can get to say, 78%, it'd looks pretty normal going off of that FFVII result. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
