GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1223
BK_Sheikah00 posted... KH2 upset here we go No chance. KH is pathetic against anything Nintendo. plus the Melee Rally. |
CaptainOfCrush posted... ZFS posted...My expectation has been 56-57% for FF6. I don't think I've seen anything suggesting Wind Waker hangs with something like FF6. I feel like any hype around those matches seems more based on contests from years ago and the general Nintendo domination. FF6 has every reason to win that match, in my mind. It's just a bigger, more popular game than Wind Waker. Compared to character battles, it seems more people are willing to vote against Nintendo in games contests or at least thats what it seems like in this contest --- Anime List: http://myanimelist.net/profile/superange VG List: http://myvideogamelist.com/profile/superange128 Visual Novels: https://vndb.org/u6633/votes |
That said, I just realized that half of the Final Fantasy games in the bracket have already lost to Nintendo games. --- http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
Laaaame. MGS3 still the best. --- Formerly known as Dilated Chemist |

Also
I don't get where this idea that the rallies are over comes from.
r/masseffect has a rally and it's at the top of the subreddit right now
(which you might expect, given that ME2 has been pulling away in a big
way). So does r/bioshock, although that subreddit's about a third of
r/masseffect's activity. I'm sure Bioshock is at least marginally benefiting. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. (edited 11/28/2015 1:40:46 PM)report |
How big is Metal Gear's subreddit? I'm sure they'll be called into action if needed next round. --- http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
Ummm is Bioshock going to win this match or something --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

The problem is most people voting for ME2 from that Reddit are voting for Bioshock. GS3 isn't getting any support except the bog standard 55-45 updates from gamefaqs. That reddit isn't even that big tbh but because it's such a close match it's having an anourmous impact. (edited 11/28/2015 1:43:38 PM)report |
CaptainOfCrush posted... How big is Metal Gear's subreddit? I'm sure they'll be called into action if needed next round. IT should be a lot bigger than bioshock considering MGSV came out. |
CaptainOfCrush posted... How big is Metal Gear's subreddit? I'm sure they'll be called into action if needed next round. Just around 400-500ish people at a given time, though that's pretty good by the standards of the subreddits we're talking about. It looks like a small rally thread went up there for today's matches last night, but it's long dropped off the face of the planet unlike the ME2/Bioshock rallies. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
"anormous" cracked me up --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
so do people think Galaxy 2 wins without that subreddit? --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
Karma Hunter posted... CaptainOfCrush posted...How big is Metal Gear's subreddit? I'm sure they'll be called into action if needed next round. don't know why people put up rally topics so early. |
transcience posted... so do people think Galaxy 2 wins without that subreddit? i don't think ME got rallied. |
MGS3 please. I wanted you to make Mother 3 look good. --- Any sound can shake the air. My voice shakes the heart! -Sho Minamimoto |
Januzaj_Dragon posted... transcience posted...so do people think Galaxy 2 wins without that subreddit? It definitely got a thread on r/masseffect --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima raytan: Champ without picking the champ |
Based on the last 11 updates, Bioshock takes the lead at 11:55 PM! This rally is definitely spilling over. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Or the rally on the Bioshock subreddit is doing better than expected. --- My old signature was really outdated. I haven't thought of a proper new one yet. |
DaruniaTheGoron posted... Based on the last 11 updates, Bioshock takes the lead at 11:55 PM! Now imagine what happens when nearly 100% of r/masseffect votes go against MGS3, instead of most votes. --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima raytan: Champ without picking the champ |
CaptainOfCrush posted... Find: FF6. Replace with: FFX This one is definitely different. I would have never taken FF10 over FF6, and Wind Waker/MM are probably similar enough in strength. And if you want to gauge how this contest has gone, FF6 is certainly way more of a classic game, one that GameFAQs has shown to rally behind. I think Nintendo has looked fine this contest, but at almost every point the games have looked beatable. We just saw FF4 put up 35% or so on LTTP, the potential #2? That's as much an indicator as anything. --- satoru iwata |
What
I'm confused about is why Bioshock is the primary beneficiary of this
rally. I don't see why either ME or Starcraft fans would clearly favor
it over Metal Gear Solid. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
bonus: FF6 is a 90s SNES RPG, Wind Waker is teetering the line on being New Nintendo. --- satoru iwata |
Subreddits devoted to a Western game will prefer Western games, what a surprise --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
MechanicalWall posted... What I'm confused about is why Bioshock is the primary beneficiary of this rally. I don't see why either ME or Starcraft fans would clearly favor it over Metal Gear Solid. Mass Effect and Bioshock are both new-school shooter series, and both debuted on Xbox 360 before going multiplat. So it makes sense that fans of one probably played the other. --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima raytan: Champ without picking the champ |
I think yoblazer is just trying to stir up some hope! --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
MechanicalWall posted... What I'm confused about is why Bioshock is the primary beneficiary of this rally. I don't see why either ME or Starcraft fans would clearly favor it over Metal Gear Solid. MGS is a Japanese produced game. The others are all western titles. Duh. --- http://i.imgur.com/dpIEizf.gif |
alright get your votes in MGS3 vs. Mass Effect 2 "neither" is not an option --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
Karma Hunter posted... Subreddits devoted to a Western game will prefer Western games, what a surprise MGS is as Western as a Japanese game can get. And I don't think this whole clear 'Western/Japanese' split that GFaqs harps on is that much of a prevailing sentiment elsewhere on the Internet. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses (edited 11/28/2015 1:58:45 PM)report |
transcience posted...
damn --- satoru iwata |
I still have MGS3. For all we know, Bioshock outright beats both of the two rallied games in the other poll. --- http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
Bioshock, ME and Starcraft all have a large PC fanbase too. MGS is primarily PlayStation fans. Also, Bioshock and ME are both story driven sci-fi shooters. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
I still have blind faith in MGS3 although it's given me no confidence and these results sure suggest ME2 will win. --- NEW YORK METS - 2015 National League Champions |
CaptainOfCrush posted... I still have MGS3. For all we know, Bioshock outright beats both of the two rallied games in the other poll. I really doubt Bioshock is weaker than ME2 here. Just a feeling I guess. I think ME's narrative and character driven RPG elements give it a boost on GF too. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
EarthBound through all of this has kept 40% close. The real champion of the day. --- satoru iwata |
I really would have thought ME2 would easily beat Bioshock But I also thought it would have easily beaten StarCraft, even more easily than it would beat Bioshock! So the takeaway here is screw ME2 --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
BioShock actually has a chance, doesn't it? Holy s***. --- NEW YORK METS - 2015 National League Champions |
Dammit MGS3 don't stall now just roll over and die --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
I
kind of want Bioshock to win now. If MGS3 is gonna let Bioshock get
this close anyway, might as well just throw in the towel for the lulz. --- "This place has a nice view of Hod. And also... I promised someone." - Asch, Tales of the Abyss |
If MGS3 loses because of a Mass Effect 2 rally that the game doesn't even need anymore I will never stop laughing or crying for that matter --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
MGS3 is climbing again, crisis averted. We can all go home --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** |
Rallies
or otherwise, this is just a bad performance from MGS3. You need to
make a lot of allowances and concessions to still put it on the same
level as it was in 2010. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
KamikazePotato posted... Rallies or otherwise, this is just a bad performance from MGS3. You need to make a lot of allowances and concessions to still put it on the same level as it was in 2010. MGS3 was very lucky with night matches in 2010. would have lost to SOTC if it was 24 hours |
I feel like board 8 bias has gotten them to overrate games in terms of strength like MGS3 and RE4 are very popular here and while they are decently strong on this site I dont think they are nearly as strong as people think/thought --- Anime List: http://myanimelist.net/profile/superange VG List: http://myvideogamelist.com/profile/superange128 Visual Novels: https://vndb.org/u6633/votes (edited 11/28/2015 2:37:46 PM)report |
Using a constant Silent Hill 2 MGS3 would be expected to get 33.94% against Resident Evil 4 --- BGE3: Today's Matches MGS>Borderlands 2, SotC>RDR, MGS3>BioShock, ME2>Starcarft Points 103/120 |
KamikazePotato posted... Rallies or otherwise, this is just a bad performance from MGS3. You need to make a lot of allowances and concessions to still put it on the same level as it was in 2010. This is something you could apply to the entire MGS franchise, or even further with most modern games. --- satoru iwata |
RE4 has looked solid this contest. It wouldn't be giving up 48% of the vote to Bioshock, at least. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
ZFS posted... KamikazePotato posted...Rallies or otherwise, this is just a bad performance from MGS3.

People realizing mgs3 is bad warms my heart --- If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up on a different Nexus? (edited 11/28/2015 2:44:12 PM)report |
6 hours and change to go- come on Starcraft, let's see that rally power. This is well within 2004 Starcraft's power. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
