GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1224
KH2 has been a beast all contest, while its predecessor loses in Round 1. Fantastic! Judging by their horrible nomination support and showings on THE LIST it seems that Kingdom Hearts in general is just something that much of the site can get behind but not really something that many would call one of their favorite games. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
Square hierarchy FF is ahead of KH I think KH is stronger than FF9, but not head to head. --- Not changing this sig until the Bengals, Bills, Lions and Colt McCoy win the Super Bowl (10/10/10) ~User of the Year 2015~ |
CT isn't that strong, it's just that every single other game in the bracket is weak. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy IX - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3729662 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
thinking about it more, Crono/Auron had no noticeable SFF. you'd think it would if FFX/CT did. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
Pretty
much, if you want to argue 1-2%, then fine, but if you think this is
around Mario/Samus level then you need to look back at your contest
history. --- BGE3: Today's Matches Final Fantasy X > Chrono Trigger, Super Smash Bros. Melee > Kingdom Hearts II Points 111/120 |
I
don't know how much contest history would hold up anyway in 2015. We're
talking about a time where "New Square" included games from a console
that was still technically active when the contests were running. New
Square ain't so new anymore. Not that I'd claim there definitely is SFF or anything but the perspective of 23 year old users looking at a current PS2 game and a SNES game may not necessarily be the same as a user who's nearly 30 now and both are things of the past. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice.

yeah I'm open to it. I just don't like calling it preemptively when we haven't seen something like that before. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
Well if this isn't SFF then CT is going to 60-40 melee. I'm down for that. --- Hello, I'm Chris! https://media.giphy.com/media/2ZtIpjwFFjLHLNREpCU/giphy.gif |
There
is definitely sff imo. If CT 60-40s melee then I will concede I was
wrong. But I don't think CT doubles ffx without some sff. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Oh wow just looked at the map... things are most likely going to get even worse for FFX over the day. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Yeah Americans always make bad decisions. And their love for Smash...I still don't get it. --- Why do we exist?What happens when we stop existing? |
KH2 doing really well, I am at least happy about that. FFX is just embarrassing though ;/ --- ... |
Safer_777 posted... Yeah Americans always make bad decisions. And their love for Smash...I still don't get it. Yeah, I don't get why it's not stronger either. --- raytan is the guru champ, yo yo yo He won it in the year of the draggy crow |
Smash is pure, mindless, multiplayer fun. There's nothing wrong with that. |
Kingdom Hearts II breaks 45%. It's now past 11 AM, and so far KH is getting the better of Melee in this day vote. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
KH2 is doing really good. Without that rally, Melee seems tame. Chrono Trigger is still a monster. --- satoru iwata |
KH2 went 50/50 with MGS4 during the day vote. either things changed or (more likely) that rally really mattered. which is just frightening if true. not only if Melee weaker than we thought but FFX is also underrated and should have probably gone like 58/42 on MMX. which just makes CT look stronger. --- xyzzy |
damn, we could've seen this super-powered Chrono Trigger make a run to win the whole con- of course a rally for fodder ruins everything again |
hey Leon I know you're probably asleep but I'd love to see those KH2 = FFX numbers again --- xyzzy |
So what is up with Aladdin in the KH2 picture? |
CobraWolf32 posted... So what is up with Aladdin in the KH2 picture? I noticed that too. Here you have all the game's leads... and then random Aladdin. Maybe the idea was that Aladdin could help take KHII over Melee. Hell, maybe he's the reason that game has 45% on Melee right now! --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
I
come at this from a pure Square perspective as I haven't played KH2 and
think that series sucks, but when I saw that picture, I thought it
would hurt because it's all Disney and no Square --- xyzzy |
CT learned a new triple tech, holy crap. FFX deserves better than this! We can't ignore that CT has had three big performances and both R&C:UYA and DQ8 predict similar results for it today, but then what do we make of HL and MMX? I thought they suggested FFX would underperform here, especially after seeing HL2 drop the ball against MP. Do those results line up similarly for FFX's performance here? Not sure how much of this is CT beasting or FFX dropping. Either way, Melee better get its rally or its act together next round. --- M E N: nominate Metal Man in 20XX! http://i.imgur.com/Dr4NAeq.png |
It'd
probably be disingenious to plaster Cloud, Sephiroth, and Squall in the
pic, especially when they have their own games in the bracket; better
to let the game stand on it's own merits. It's the only Disney-related
game in the bracket, too (well, other than KotOR, I guess), so having
Disney characters isn't a big deal. Then again, I'm still hoping for a Cloud/Link pic for SSB4, so maybe I'm talking out of my ass. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
ZeldaTPLink posted... Smash is pure, mindless, multiplayer fun. I mean melee is great because you can play it mindlessly or you can learn its deep meta if you're into that. It is the perfect blend of casual and competitive multiplayer. Has a really low barrier to entry but ramps up the skill curve if you know the ins and outs. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
1337gamerpr0 posted... damn, we could've seen this super-powered Chrono Trigger make a run to win the whole con- This is seriously what annoys me the most about those rallies. CT looks like an absolute beast that could make it to the finals, but we will never know. --- it's hard to give someone the benefit of the doubt when they actually like EarthBound - Leonhart |
No matter how much you rally CT fans you'll never beat the likes of OOT,Undertale and FF7 lol --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/330/958/a5b.gif |
shane15 posted... No matter how much you rally CT fans you'll never beat the likes of OOT,Undertale and FF7 lol When CT is about to finish with 66% on FFX and you had OOT with 76% on Suikuden it's hard to believe OOT can actually beat CT, but we shall see I honestly think that OOT match was the biggest underperformance in contest history, really --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
shane15 posted... No matter how much you rally CT fans you'll never beat the likes of OOT,Undertale and FF7 lol Except, It's going to beat VII. --- Video Games are pretty cool. |
what percent does Suikoden II need to put on FFX for OOT=CT? |
32.96, I think. --- Any sound can shake the air. My voice shakes the heart! -Sho Minamimoto |
Man Melee fell a ton overnight. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
KH day vote still exists, apparently. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
Actually, let's do a fun game. If Halo and FFX maintain their GOTD values, what does FFVII vs CT look like? --- Hello, I'm Chris! https://media.giphy.com/media/2ZtIpjwFFjLHLNREpCU/giphy.gif |
Two things: 1. Melee should absolutely be doing better than this. Its first two rounds were in line with GotD stats, but it's underperforming by at least 4% here. 2. FINAL FANTASY IX IS A MONSTER --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Achromatic posted... Actually, let's do a fun game. FF7 wins with 56.5%. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Remember this? http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/5727-from-the-last-27-years-which-numbered-final-fantasy-title-is FFIX was pretty close to FFX. The List had FFX only being slightly above FFIX too! (ignore that FFT was only 1 vote below FFX!) --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
The List had FFX only being slightly above FFIX too! (ignore that FFT was only 1 vote below FFX!) Considering what SM64 got on FFT it makes sense >_> --- BGE3: Today's Matches Final Fantasy X > Chrono Trigger, Super Smash Bros. Melee > Kingdom Hearts II Points 111/120 |

The explanation here is not hard. yeah it's convenient to say that but most people won't actually do that and he knows it it's just to make himself feel better for at least "trying" to get people to stick around --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif (edited 11/29/2015 10:41:02 AM)report |
Achromatic posted... Charmander I respect you but if you think no SFF is going on against Square's most powerful post PS1 game and its greatest SNES champion then <_< it has never happened between FFVII and Chrono Trigger, at least not to any noticeable degree stop assuming every result that seems too big is SFF --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

I mean there was a reason it did better last round --- satoru iwata |

Nanis23 posted...
I think you're highly underestimating Suikoden 2, which seems strange since everything that has happened in this contest would suggest Suikoden 2 is probably not nearly as bad as people want to think it is! --- satoru iwata |
I will always read "SFF" as Street Fighter Factor --- Communists |
man who knew KH2 would have such a high rally backfire rate against Melee for the record, if FFX = KH2, CT wins with 61.22% For SSBM > CT, KH2 has to be able to beat FFX by that same amount. one of these is more likely than the other --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Achromatic posted... SFF is actually a very stupid term because every match has SFF :) it's actually only stupid because people misunderstand how it works SFF only is a factor (key word, that's what the second F stands for, after all) if it disproportionately affects the outcome of the match --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
If
it's acceptable for Metal Gear Solid to get 60% on Earthbound without
anyone even really calling it out for that performance, it probably
should be okay for Ocarina to get 77% on Suikoden II. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
AxemRedRanger posted... If it's acceptable for Metal Gear Solid to get 60% on Earthbound without anyone even really calling it out for that performance, it probably should be okay for Ocarina to get 77% on Suikoden II. plenty of people laughed at MGS1 for only getting 60% there but we half expected it to do that by the time the match rolled around --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
ZFS posted... KamikazePotato posted... I took that into account when making that post! Unrallied Melee gets like 56% there, which is what GotD expects. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
