Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1219
Excluding Undertale this is the first Round 2 match that I have the winner wrong. --- Why do we exist?What happens when we stop existing? |
ZeldaTPLink posted... Also funny thing: I had DKC2 getting to round 3 at first, but then Board 8 convinced me it was supposed to be the weakest of the 4-pack and I decided not to bet 3 points on it. SO I have FE > DKC2. Same here. I'll admit that THE LIST was most of the reason for me even picking DKC2 to do anything. Xenoblade > DKC2 would probably have been my gut pick otherwise. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |

Lol - no kidding! For a huge Suikoden fan, it doesn't make this any less awesome! Don't take this away from me - we Suikoden fans have very little to get excited about anymore... --- Yay - Raytan is the guru champion of awesomeness. |

Fire Emblem looks so out of place in this group of games it's hilarious. Literally every game in today's matches was released in the same four-year window other than Okami and Fire Emblem, but Okami is facing a game only six years older whereas Fire Emblem is against a game 18 years older. My how time flies. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
TyranoTom posted... Well next round will be the main test for OoT. Cant really say too much until then. If it drops another egg then it will be extremely fortunate to be on this side of the bracket with no competition. It will make the final whatever happens, face Undertale and there will be no real evidence of it vs FF7 or CT either way =/ TyranoTom posted... Well next round will be the main test for OoT.

Yuri_LowelI posted... FFIX is barely beating Okami. How is that a test for ocarina?? It's a test in that we have a (reasonably) good idea of how strong FFIX is. That should tell us how much of today's result is Suikoden actually being decent vs OoT underperforming. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Compared to Hearthstone and Suikoden, FFIX is contest royalty. |
LOL at those people thinking Banjo could reach for an upset. Alucard and SoTN are always underrated in these contests. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
For
the record, Symphony of the Night is performing out of its mind this
year. Going through Baldur's Gate 2, it's currently sitting at about 44%
against Majora's Mask...right around where Pokemon Crystal was. That's
even stronger than the level it's Round 1 performance implied (even with
FF9). --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Part of the plan. --- Why do we exist?What happens when we stop existing? |
That's
what I mean. Just when you think Castlevania is done surprising you, it
comes back the next contest and blows you away again. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
SOTN is one of the few games this site loves that i agree is amazing. --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/330/958/a5b.gif |
Wish it pulled that off against Goldeneye in 2004 --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
It
deserves to make it to the semifinals, as far as I'm concerned. It
won't, obviously, but in a world where it wasn't shoved in the same
division as OoT... --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
I don't think it could have won any division. The closest ones would be RE4's and MGS's. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Oh,
I know it wouldn't make it far in most other divisions; it was blessed
with the weakest eight-pack in the contest. Still, swap OoT with, like,
the Witcher 3 or something, and a division final with FFIX and SOTN
would be awesome. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |

That's even stronger than the level it's Round 1 performance implied (even with FF9). How about LOL old PC games this contest. Deus Ex was doubled by FFIV, Diablo II turned out to be on Phoenix Wright's level, the games that beat Torment and AoEII did horribly in R2, etc. You're next StarCraft! --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
All
fanboyism aside, back in 2K4, there was discussion that Suikoden II was
suffered some SFF behind FF7. As a niche JRPG, FF7 was probably the
worst competitor Suikoden II could have drawn. It's probably always been
quite a bit stronger than the majority wanted to give it credit for. Still, Suikoden II could have done a lot more bracket damage with better placement. Pre-contest, would you have taken Suikoden II over any of these: Call of Duty 4 Halo Halo 3 Dragon Quest VIII Persona 3 Pokemon X/Y Minecraft Age of Empires II Mario Kart 8 Super Mario Maker Skies of Arcadia Deus Ex Civilization V Valkyria Chronicles Team Fortress 2 Unless we are witnessing some weird drop by OOT here, Suikoden II's performance shows it would have likely beat any of these games. --- Yay - Raytan is the guru champion of awesomeness. |
Suikoden II finished higher than all of those games on THE LIST other than Deus Ex, so of course I would! ...in all seriousness, most of the reason I stuck by Suikoden in R1 was because I was hoping that its good showing on THE LIST meant it could be worth a darn. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
Noooooo not Dragon Quest VIII Why is my favorite series so weak? :( --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
In
all seriousness, even without THE LIST, why would you not pick Suikoden
II over most of those games? Being an acclaimed PS1 RPG automatically
means you're worth much. Remember Legend of Dragoon of all things doing
so well in GOTD? Would you really pick Suikoden to lose to Legend of
Dragoon? --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
Legend
of Dragoon may be a piece of crap but it was the most heavily
advertised non-Square RPG on the PS1. Actually it was more heavily
advertised than a few Square RPGs. And it's not like it did extremely
well --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. (edited 11/25/2015 6:18:23 AM)report |
Yeah admittedly Dragoon was probably more mainstream than Suikoden. Otherwise my point still stands. Debated match between a "casual" FPS and a PS1 RPG, would you really go with the former? Heck, what's the strongest PS1 RPG Halo beats? Legend of Dragoon? Pretty sure GOTD projects that to be 60-40. Halo vs. Skies of Arcadia who wins? --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |

Remember Legend of Dragoon of all things doing so well in GOTD? Would you really pick Suikoden to lose to Legend of Dragoon? People say that NOW. And yet, somehow Monster Hunter was the favorite over Suikoden II in Round One. Pre-Contest, Suikoden was not getting nearly enough credit. --- Yay - Raytan is the guru champion of awesomeness. |
Just saw the results. Wow, OoT much lower than I expected. I guess this probably compares Hearthstone as by far the weakest game in the contest. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
LinkMarioSamus posted... Yeah admittedly Dragoon was probably more mainstream than Suikoden. After watching the matches so far, Skies of Arcadia. Pre-Contest, I would have taken Halo without hesitation. --- Yay - Raytan is the guru champion of awesomeness. |

Being an acclaimed PS1 RPG automatically means you're worth much. Remember Legend of Dragoon of all things doing so well in GOTD? Would you really pick Suikoden to lose to Legend of Dragoon? Well I picked Suikoden to win that. Admittedly I did debate it on occasion, I just couldn't see Monster Hunter beating a PS1 RPG. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
I picked Suikoden to win because I didn't know that Monster Hunter 4 had even come out in the States. Also LOL modern games. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
I
picked Suikoden 2 but it was fairly easy to see why people weren't
giving it any credit. I mean you only have to look at its contest
history in all formats to see why people might think the whole franchise
is pretty weak 2k4: Suikoden II - 14.37% against FFVII 2k4: Luca Blight - 18.96% against Magus 2k5: Luca Blight - 40.26% against Wesker 2k6: Suikoden - 27.39% against MMX 2k9: Suikoden - 6.87% in a 4-way with FFVII, Mario Kart 64 and Star Fox 64 I don't think it's a case of Suikoden II always being underrated. I think it's gotten a little bit stronger / less prone to 2k4 like results with the lower votals and fanbase probably growing more loyal over the years. Plus greater availability in recent years has probably helped a decent chunk with either newer players or nostalgia playthroughs. (edited 11/25/2015 6:42:02 AM)report |
I take it FE:A isn't keeping things interesting? |
There was a guy on some thread yesterday saying that Ocarina wouldn't get past Okami. I wonder if he will come to the board today lol. |
swordz9 posted... I take it FE:A isn't keeping things interesting? According to the chart? Nope. Then again, never trust Donkey Kong. The gap isn't so massive that Fire Emblem can't eventually make a steady comeback. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
COD4 may end up as the weakest game statistically. it could be behind triple SFF. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
swordz9 posted... I take it FE:A isn't keeping things interesting? FE:A has been dying since the sun rose. --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
COD4 may end up as the weakest game statistically. it could be behind triple SFF. I'm not sure if SMG wins, let alone SFF SM. Though in principal I agree. Super Metroid must get below 21.84% on OoT to be weaker than Hearthstone. --- BGE3: Today's Matches LoZ:OoT>Suikoden II, FFIX>Okami, DKC2>SMM, BK>SotN Points 85/96 |
Yup DKC2 has almost 55% in the US and over 59% in Canada. --- BGE3: Today's Matches LoZ:OoT>Suikoden II, FFIX>Okami, DKC2>SMM, BK>SotN Points 85/96 |
Just how bad can a game with Mario in it be. And here I was hoping FE finally had an entry with decent strength. --- raytan stepped on me in the guru contest. |
Super
Metroid at its best gets tripled by LTTP which gets whipped by OOT. if
it loses to Majora it might be worse than if it loses to Galaxy
stat-wise. Mario may not SFF SM but Majora probably does. --- add the c and back away iphonesience (edited 11/25/2015 7:22:44 AM)report |

transcience posted... Super Metroid at its best gets tripled by LTTP which gets whipped by OOT. if it loses to Majora it might be worse than if it loses to Galaxy stat-wise. Mario may not SFF SM but Majora probably does. Mario world or 64 would SFF SM. Galaxy has no chance. SM will demolish it. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
LinkMarioSamus posted... Yeah admittedly Dragoon was probably more mainstream than Suikoden. In 1999, Suikoden 2 was the 9th most popular PS1 rpg on Gamefaqs (overall ranks listed): 1 Final Fantasy VIIIIn 2000, it was 13th. LOD was definitely more popular on this site. It sold well enough to get a GH release too. 1 Final Fantasy VIII |
Suikoden definitely has nostalgia factor going for it, so it fits well in this contest. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |
Great to see FF8 was #1 for a time --- 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 |

ExThaNemesis posted... Are you for real? CT beat two nothing games, one of which it was clearly SFFing. stop this DQ8 is a weak game. The only reason most of this site even bought it was because of the FFXII demo. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

Mario may not SFF SM but Majora probably does. Majora isn't SFFing Super that badly, it's still a classic game. And Lttp/MM will be almost a 50/50 split in terms of the fanbase. That will be an easy win for LttP based on it's pure strength(more people have played it too). Ocarina would SFF anything Nintendo related yeah. But yeah Galaxy is going to look like s*** on xstats. Much MUCH worse than Galaxy 2(based on the undertale rallies) even though galaxy 1 is a bit stronger --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif (edited 11/25/2015 8:14:03 AM)report |
so
12 hours in and Symphony of the Night rose a bit with the morning vote,
with the game now being close to its highest percentage of the match. hey wait this sounds familiar http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/drupal/node/22?matchnum=5171&num=3 alucard being champion of the morning vote was preposterous, they said that comeback couldn't possibly be legitimate, they said --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] (edited 11/25/2015 9:05:46 AM)report |
