GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1223
Another
thing about rallies. If Undertale were to win Best Game Ever, but then
become irrelevant by the next games contest, to the point where it
doesn't even get nominated, it would make this year's contest look
illegitimate. Same thing would happen to GotD if Brawl won. In fact, Character Battle 9 may as well be illegitimate because nobody that plays league really cares about Draven anymore. Riot hasn't even given him a good backstory. All he has going for him now are memes that aren't popular anymore. --- Cranky's Advice - "git gud" Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
this is a 52/48 match turned 50/50 by rallying. let's not get carried away here. I like how this one is split though whereas the Undertale one was pretty much vilified from the start --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
holy Starcraft cut --- Cranky's Advice - "git gud" Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
I
don't think Undertale is going to become "irrelevant". The hype will
die down, sure, but if it's really a legitimately good game (which I
have no reason to doubt) it should endure. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
wow mgs3 is about to go under 53%...Did MGS games really drops THIS muchh? --- >_______________> |
Time to create another Starcraft rally --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |

Same thing would happen to GotD if Brawl won. Draven is actually a legit top 5 character in League tbqh because he's one of the few there with a legit personality But then if you're playing League for its stunning cast of characters and deep lore you're doing it hilariously wrong <_< But I'd like to echo the sentiment from earlier in the topic that rallies in a close match are super cool. Rallies that turn a 70/30 stomp into a 30/70 stomp are not nearly as fun. |
whatisurnameplz posted... it would make this year's contest look illegitimate Since when are contest legitimate? Every bit of credibility those contests had were gone when L-Block won I even voted for it and didn't care that it won, but c'mon how is it possible to take those contests seriously after that? --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
Nanis23 posted... whatisurnameplz posted...it would make this year's contest look illegitimate L-Block has made every character battle since then. Will Draven do the same? Given how hated he must be on GameFAQs now, I doubt it. --- Cranky's Advice - "git gud" Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
Happy
the rallies are evened out. Now it'll be a barnburning classic I hope.
ME needs to do a slow build to stave off the SNV though. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Those last two gains ouch --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
ZFS posted... hey you never know Starcraft might try cheating again when it looks bad Can't wait for the +2500 update for Starcraft. Also rallies still suck. --- Leonhart posting from his phone |
Okay, the dream is dead. RIP Starcraft. --- Hello, I'm Chris! https://media.giphy.com/media/2ZtIpjwFFjLHLNREpCU/giphy.gif |
earlier
ME2 took the lead and slowly ground out to about a 90 lead before SC
took it back to a perfect tie, and held it low for a while now ME2 jumps from 17 to 96 in 3 updates --- Remember, we are eternal - all this pain is an illusion http://i.imgur.com/Qs9x1gS.png |
Match over? --- Cranky's Advice - "git gud" Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
My rallies have worked hahahaha yes! multiple twitter and facebook posts. |
LeonhartFone posted... Can't wait for the +2500 update for Starcraft. Classic Starcraft! Before Draven and League, there was Blizzard and Starcraft. --- satoru iwata |
this match makes me nostalgic --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
You gotta hand it to ME2. Shepard will not go DOWN SO EASILY |
Come back after my sleep, and 2 things. 1. Mass Effect 2 has guts, and will probably win this. 2. No need to worry about it's chances against MGS3, f*** me. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak PSN ID - Kudaark Steam Name : skaalfa |
Also
I tend to agree with yoblazer that the rallies have negatively impacted
MGS3. It's still a bad show even without the rallies but not THIS bad. --- Leonhart posting from his phone |
Januzaj_Dragon posted... You gotta hand it to ME2. Shepard will not go DOWN SO EASILY It's just like Object Rho in Arrival. --- Leonhart posting from his phone |
If
ME2 wants to feel secure it needs to build a lead now. I wouldn't trust
a slender margin against the SNV given StarCraft's contest history. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
I'd favour ME2. Only because i still think Starcraft is the strongest PC game and it benefits from "oldFaqs" a lot more. Bioshock is great but ME2/MGS3 is going to go to the wire. Great news for SOTC... (edited 11/28/2015 12:14:38 PM)report |
eh, it'd be 53-54% instead of 52%. that's my estimation anyway. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
It's 53% now! --- Leonhart posting from his phone |
That was a serious gain by ME2. --- NEW YORK METS - 2015 National League Champions |
Yeah, ME2 is trying to run away with it now. --- Leonhart posting from his phone |
So when I left SC was winning with around 400 votes. Let us see here. *checks poll* Okay what happened? A rally for ME 2? --- Why do we exist?What happens when we stop existing? |
Starcraft really fell off a cliff. Weird. Rallies failing? --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Safer_777 posted... So when I left SC was winning with around 400 votes. Let us see here. Both rallies were cut. This is ME2 normal strength. Only reason Starcraft starting getting back was the rally was stronger for it. |
transcience posted... this is a 52/48 match turned 50/50 by rallying. let's not get carried away here. if that's the case i can't even tell which was supposed to win 52-48. was it natural trends that gave Starcraft the lead and then a rally by ME2? or a rally that gave Starcraft the lead in the first place with a counter-rally by ME2? --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |
So when does the SNV start? --- Cranky's Advice - "git gud" Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
Xuxon posted... transcience posted...this is a 52/48 match turned 50/50 by rallying. let's not get carried away here. The latter. ME2 didn't have any significant rallying for awhile. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |

whatisurnameplz posted... So when does the SNV start? not for another 3-4 hours. If ME2 has a lead of over 500 it's over. |

Its over for Starcraft, my rally topic is dead and unless I delete it, no one else can use that link. I am not deleting it. It was a nice try and made for a more exciting match. Mass Effect deserves the win at this point. --- Not changing this sig until the Bengals, Bills, Lions and Colt McCoy win the Super Bowl (10/10/10) ~User of the Year 2015~ |
you
know rallies like this aren't bad Close mach and rallies to make it
closer but ultimately it's not enough. It makes the contest more
exciting. Rallies like undertale are not fun and crap. |
Best rallies are the ones where the voters stick around and vote every match. Sadly that doesn't seem to be how this works. --- Not changing this sig until the Bengals, Bills, Lions and Colt McCoy win the Super Bowl (10/10/10) ~User of the Year 2015~ |
Whiskey_Nick posted... Best rallies are the ones where the voters stick around and vote every match. IT would be if the Gfaqs contest was advertised on a bigger board. OR if you were allowed to link polls to other sites directly so they don't need to visit gamefaqs.com |

Honestly,
even with the SNV I don't think StarCraft can make major cuts. The SNV
is the smallest vote block now, correct? Can StarCraft do any damage
with that? --- Cranky's Advice - "git gud" Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
ME2 is getting consistent 55% updates now. It's definitely over. |
it'll be 52% when all is said and done! anything is possible here. this is Starcraft we're talking about. anyone even remotely familiar with 2004 knows not to count it out. different time of course but the same game/fans. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
whatisurnameplz posted... Honestly, even with the SNV I don't think StarCraft can make major cuts. The SNV is the smallest vote block now, correct? Can StarCraft do any damage with that? It could if it's close. Close with these vote totals would have to be a few hundred under normal circumstances. With a rally or something, that number might go up a bit. --- Leonhart posting from his phone |
ME
has done very well in this contest. Beats SMG2, and has a respectable
showing on Smash. ME3 despite being controversial only lost to undertale
due to a rally and ME3 probably ends up massively high on Xstats
because of it. ME2 has an otuside chance of getting to the Div Final
possibly even Semi final. |
So if MGS3 is losing a couple percent from western game rallies, is that also true for Shadow of the Colossus? --- Any sound can shake the air. My voice shakes the heart! -Sho Minamimoto |
Man I don't even know if I'd take SotC to beat Bioshock at this rate. Though I suppose there's the possibility it's being swamped by the rallies as well. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
