GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1226
Achromatic posted... ... Chrono Trigger and Crono have nothing to do with each other, creativename? That's a ... creative use of things! Literally conflating things again. I said nothing about Crono, what are you talking about..? I said you were saying "this is the same" when there were no similarities. It's only in your mind :) pjbasis posted... KamikazePotato posted...Let me put it this way - I've put up with Link and FF7 winning for 10 years. Let me have one year, sheesh! I don't mind self defense rallies at all, but I get what you're saying. I personally prefer Chrono Trigger to OoT. But I wouldn't want it to win because of a rally or bandwagon. If it's legit stronger I'd feel proud in a way, kinda like with a friend getting success. By bandwagon it would be less proud, but it'd still be a GameFAQs thing. If it won by rallying though, I'd be upset, not proud. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Qwaar posted... Undertales journey hopefully ends here. Even if it doesn't , as long as it's not a draven round 2 level rally, RBY should be favored next round. It's easier to rally for Pokemon and it will steal more votes. |
Votals
today are holding at about 20% higher than last round. I think SMW has
a much better chance than most people are giving it credit for. With
the improved votals I think it can build a lead of 12,000+ by the time
Fallout peaked last round. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Yeah, it seems like Undertale will have a tough time here the more I think about it. I do love SMW, but I still like this underdog pushing through. It's not like SMW will win the contest or get close to that anyway. UT vs RBY sounds like a pretty intense match already. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |
you guys are giving yourselves false hope here |
incidentally, my least favorite thing about this rally is how many people doubt it like I want you guys to be right, but you're wrong and it hurts --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
Time to guess the top 10! Ocarina of Time - 50% Chrono Trigger - 48% Final Fantasy VII - 46% A Link to the Past - 44% Pokemon RBY - 39% Super Mario World - 38% Super Mario 64 - 38% Super Mario Bros. 3 - 37% Final Fantasy VI - 35% Super Smash Bros. Melee - 34% --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Undertale-50% Mass Effect 3-49% ayy |
Mario and Yoshi are about to take the Genocide route through Undertale --- "This place has a nice view of Hod. And also... I promised someone." - Asch, Tales of the Abyss |

KamikazePotato posted... Draven was a bad rally because it brought the League of Legends subreddit with it. Undertale fans that have come here have been downright polite. Way moreso than the actual board! SOTC was a hidden gem. No one saw that coming. To a much lesser extent, Suikoden II was a hidden gem as well. That could've scored a huge upset elsewhere. And I would entertain CT>OoT, especially with a bandwagon. It's possible CT is a fraud. But we've gotten three rounds of very consistent results. Either way though, I don't think that should be a huge knock against it. There are plenty of strong games here that have boring matches all the time. If having an interesting match is one of the only legit things in its favor in terms of being healthy for the contest, that is a real knock against it. And I find matches that are back and forth from the start than matches that will have some big swing at an unknown point in the middle. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
I'd
like to see more games contests that only include more recent games.
We could still have a "Game of the Generation" for 7th gen since there's
still a few stragglers coming out (i.e. Persona 5). Or "Best Game
Since 2001" (or 2002 if Melee and FFX are gonna make that too boring). --- "This place has a nice view of Hod. And also... I promised someone." - Asch, Tales of the Abyss |

We already had game of the decade for 2000-2009! 90s games are what this site loves, its what we should have in contests. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
So how much does Wind Waker beat Smash Wii U by? Ans how much does Chrono Trigger beat FFVII by? --- Video Games are pretty cool. |
it's almost Undertale time eh KP I think you're whining as much as anyone. people can be upset about the result. we don't have to legitimize it just because it's a smaller game. Undertale is already so huge on the internet right now that I don't think it needs more exposure, but whatever, I know what it's like to champion that indie game. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |

KamikazePotato posted... Januzaj_Dragon posted...Imagine undertale goes down. There will be so much tears from people. Spoilers, the best and most popular games are for the most part going to be the strongest on this site, or any other site for that matter. People will always give an edge to a nostalgic game anywhere you go, unless you find a website that is full of 5-13 year olds. And in that case, Minecraft would just win everything. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
oh god the color gap in Undertale/Mario World I think that FF7 number is a bit much, red sox, for whatever it's worth. I'd love to see you extrapolate games off of that (mass effect, kotor, etc) --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
Anyone
else feeling a Sonic overpeformance based on the pic? Or does the
Undertale bull**** result in a 70-30 beatdown for Pokemon? --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
70/30 beat down seems reasonable even without the rally. it's impossible to tell how that goes with the tumblrers voting. they can prefer Pokemon but still do so less than GF. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
SMW
is gonna do well, but Undertale's real obstacle for the championship
will be Pokemon RBY. Vote totals will likely continue to grow, the
backfire rate for rallying will be at its highest outside of maybe
LoZ:OoT, and I'm still hanging on to RBY > SMW naturally. Undertale's rally is gonna be more powerful than before each round, too. We already saw it from ME3 to FO3. Tumblr will continue getting more prepared, and word of mouth is doing wonders for its exposure as a new indie game. Lots of people are mad about the rally, sure, but look how many people are checking it out too. I get the rally-hate, I do and I agree with it in a lot of ways...but if people want GameFAQs to expand their tastes, Undertale's showing us one way to have people try something new. I don't recall if LoL got a big boost in people here trying it out after Draven's buttchampionship, to be fair. I watched some streams of it after the fact, but I don't know about others here. --- M E N: nominate Metal Man in 20XX! http://i.imgur.com/Dr4NAeq.png |

Lol one of the witcher 3 Devs just liked my twitter post about the GFaqs rally. A few days too late man. He had over 23k followers. Could have done something --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
What %age would Undertale need for it to be the favorite over Pokemon in people's eyes? (assuming it wins) For me it's 53%-54%. If it breaks that then it means the rally is still growing a lot round to round. Unless it gets something crazy though, I wouldn't count Pokemon out totally, as it should have a significantly higher backfire rate. And the higher Undertale goes, the more the backfire rate matters. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

red sox 777 posted... Votals today are holding at about 20% higher than last round. I think SMW has a much better chance than most people are giving it credit for. With the improved votals I think it can build a lead of 12,000+ by the time Fallout peaked last round. I talked a little bit about the improved vote totals with the switch to round 3. One possible explanation for the increase in vote totals is some people are too lazy to vote when you have 4 matches running at the same time, while it's a lot easier (and quicker) to vote when you have just 2 matches running. Of course, the quality of the games has gone up as well and there are very few weak games that have made it to this stage of the contest (as a result of favorable bracket placement). --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
I'm
guessing that we also may have had some tumblr people that have stayed.
In which case... maybe good long-term for the contest, but real bad for
any of Undertale's opponents. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |

any of Undertale's opponents. While the average did go up after Undertale's round 2 match I think a lot of it has to do with fewer matches and in general stronger opponents against each other. --- BGE3: Today's Matches FFVI>LoZ:WW and FFVII>SMG Points 115/136 |

Karma Hunter posted... Achromatic posted...Okay fine. Alright, for one thing, it took a rally for Mario to lose to Vivi. Secondly, his LFF was worse without a doubt. Lastly, 2010 Charizard and 2013 Charizard are in no way the same strength. You can't use that comparison at all. Charizard took a HG/SS release and bandwagon to do that. Look at what Mega Man got against Mario in 2010 and against Charizard in 2013 and that argument completely shatters. Mario literally ran into the SFF hammer from Link in every single contest since 2005 until 2013, where he had Ganondorf holding him down instead, so where could he impress? Beating MMX and Zack in 2008 was pretty a pretty good shoeing from him. --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
Mario
being held down worse by Ganondorf than Crono was by Magus is hardly
indisputable - there's certainly more separation and independence from
Mario and Zelda than there is from one CT character to another CT
character. And rally, shmally, Vivi is so much weaker than Mario - or
even Pikachu! - that it should have never mattered to begin with. Mario/Mega Man 2010 is pretty textbook SFF. Charizard being bandwagoned+HG/SS doesn't excuse the reality that Mario should have exerted the Nintendo hierarchy to make sure that match wasn't even close to begin with. And Link causing Mario to nearly collapse against Zack, a midcarder at best, is not a good result. The big point here is Mario keeps getting excuse after excuse to cover up his bad results. I'm not saying Crono would have beaten him in 2013 - the Bonus Battle pretty easily refutes that - but it wouldn't take a crazy boost for Crono to turn that match around. We'd probably be looking at it totally differently if Crono had won the first two Mario/Crono matches before Mario finally turned it around in 2005. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Like, take the Mario/Vivi comparison out of the picture. Vivi has 41.27% on Mario and Ganondorf combined
in that match. That's a hysterically pathetic result considering in the
contest directly prior to that Mario is projected to score 68.7%
on Vivi in the previous contest. No rallies in the world can account
for the indisputable fact that he would have come nowhere close to that
no matter how that match went down. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
We should have FFIX beat OoT. That would certainly make things interesting. And OoT is in my top 5 games of all time. --- Video Games are pretty cool. |
Ganondorf
as a much heavier anchor than say Bowser for Mario because he's from
the more popular franchise in this site while Mario could really use the
SFF hammer on Bowser. Same goes for Crono/Magus. You shouldn't count on any SFF in Mario vs. Mega Man. Pokemon doesn't work into the Nintendo hierarchy like that. We have seen before how well it resists SSF from other Nintendo series. 2010 Zack was totally legit, although he really flopped in 2013. --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |

Speaking of engineering desired results I still want a "best generic (non-Pokemon) enemy" contest just so Slime can be a midcarder --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
LordoftheMorons posted... Speaking of engineering desired results what would even be the favorite there, Goomba? |
Mario
enemies would be the most powerful, I think (besides Pokemon totally
dominating, which is why I excluded them; maybe it would be more
interesting just to exclude legendaries/starters (counting Pikachu as a
starter) though?) --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
There
aren't really any 'generic Pokemon enemies'. Even if you just go with
'generic Pokemon', there aren't really any notable ones at least that
would make the bracket I think (too much vote-splitting). Maybe Zubat
makes it in? In which case it either dominates the field as a joke entry
or - more likely I think - gets crushed into dust from the combined
rage of traumatized voters upon seeing Wild Zubat Appear Yet Again. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Pokemon Trainer Joey for generic Pokemon enemy. Would win a few matches at least. Or a Team Rocket member. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |
Why would Zubat be a joke entry? It's not like a bracket of generic enemy is going to be filled with anything amazing. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
Also Crono lost to Mario that year with MMX in the poll who oops Vivi > Crono!! --- satoru iwata |
By
"generic" I mean non-unique (like not a named enemy); by this
definition, all non-Legendary Pokemon would be "generic", though you
could make an argument for excluding starters because you could only get
one per game except through trading/breeding. Really though that's kind
of an arbitrary exclusion just for the purposes of not having
Poke-domination (the legendary exclusion is more legit). So in a Mario
game, for instance, Koopas are generic, but Bowser or the Koopa Bros
from Paper Mario are not. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
