GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1230
Ocarina was really anti-voted with Suikoden II. I wouldn't be surprised if we see more of that here. --- Video Games are pretty cool. |
Fortunately after next match if FFIX can do significantly better than a tripling I can switch over to KOTORstats best game, best stats --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
LeonhartFour posted... Man, SOTN's pic is so much better than DKC2's. Why not roll with sprites for DKC2 as well? Honestly, I think DKC2's official art is tremendous, and looked better than anything I was doing with the sprites. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! Future 2015 Guru Contest winner. |
I'm
torn between wanting to see FFIX do well to fuel the CT hype train
against tyrant Link and wanting to see OOT destroy everything to build
the heroic Link hype train. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |

Of course that's the SOTN picture. Should have saved that for the OoT match, for what little good it would do. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
Skyrim's lead has been getting stalled out for the past hour or so. Is someone trying to rally for Metroid Prime right now? --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Did we ever get generic black mage into the character contests? Seems like he'd do pretty well |
LeonhartFour posted... Achromatic posted...It isn't as if Fallout 3 and Skyrim share a common opponent in their runs over the years or anything. I still say the intervening years really cut into HL2. Steam guides are now the method of choice to get walkthroughs for PC gamers, which directly competes with gamefaqs but is only useful to the PC crowd. I haven't been paying much attention as to whether PC games have dropped across the board, though. |
My ff9 picture --- Get the X out. Vinateri was using his god powers on the Pats and then was like "Wait I'm a Colt now lol" and now you have it. |
I
was really expecting Prime to win this match solely on the basis of it
being a very well liked Metroid game and also being unsure about
Skyrim's strenght. Looks like I was wrong. And I knew I shouldn't have ever listened to you guys about TP having even a sliver of a chance in this :P So, is Mario 64 stronger than FF VI, is TP just weaker than WW or is this just SFF in action? (edited 12/2/2015 6:40:26 PM)report |
Lynx_7 posted... So, is Mario 64 stronger than FF VI, is TP just weaker than WW or is this just SFF in action? SFF is the easy answer, but I think that the brilliant WWHD release made a lot of people change their minds about that game, and it might be slighly stronger then TP now. As for SM64 vs. FFVI, I think Mario has a very small step up on Final Fantasy, but that's more a gut feeling than anything else. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
One
last pair of numbers to keep an eye on in SuikogearStats: FFIX needs
33.91% on OoT to be equal to Wind Waker. It needs 36.67% on OoT to be
equal to FFVI. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
UItimaterializer posted... My ff9 picture Really good pic |
Yeah great job on that FFIX pic Ulti --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
the amount of mental energy you're putting into this suikogears thing is a cross between admirable and obsessed tread carefully kay aitch --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
My unironic favorite part of this topic is Crono/Vincent comparisons this was always going to happen tranman --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
if ff9 has 37% at the freeze what does that mean using OOT/S2 trends go --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
Metroid has brought it back to 50-50 for the past 4 hours. Too bad it couldn't stall like that earlier! --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
FF9 finishes with like 34% based on OoT/S2 Based on Crono/Vincent 2007 trends can someone figure out when I'll be projected to end up in a mental institution --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. (edited 12/2/2015 7:16:11 PM)report |
I told y'all Metroid has a pretty good SNV compared to its collapse during the FNV and day vote! I don't really get that by the way, at all; maybe it's more independent from Nintendo than some of us give it credit for --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
MechanicalWall posted... Of course that's the SOTN picture. Should have saved that for the OoT match, for what little good it would do. That's exactly why it should be used now instead of the OoT match. --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima raytan: Champ without picking the champ |
suikogears came out it was called Chrono Cross which you like! --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
Karma Hunter posted... I told y'all Metroid has a pretty good SNV compared to its collapse during the FNV and day vote! I've been on this bandwagon for years - Metroid is a wide draw and its independence is what kills it when going up against core Nintendo --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
Seemed to do just fine against Galaxy (man Galaxy sucks) --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Oh man Xenogears = Suikoden II = Chrono Cross do you realize what stupid stat manipulation possibilities this opens --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. (edited 12/2/2015 7:29:25 PM)report |
Darn
it, Undertale. Why do you have to make my rooting preferences so hard?
Also, I think we should have fed Brawl to OOT. It escaped the massive
SFF beat down it deserves in 2009, but this time, we can go for 80%! --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
I thought you learned what happens when you allow yourself to hope in these contests --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
I hoped for CT > FFVII for 11 years, and now its finally coming to fruition! --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
(my
guess is that Chrono Cross 55/45s Xenogears, and that Xenogears 55/45s
Suikoden II, but I don't really have any good reason for believing these
things) --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Wind Waker = Majora's Mask so Xenogears = Chrono Cross --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
Never mind let's do the thing transience said --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
red sox 777 posted... I hoped for CT > FFVII for 11 years, and now its finally coming to fruition! Next up: FFVII beats CT 51-49. When interviewed, 15% of FFVII voters say their primary consideration was shattering red sox's hopes and dreams --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |

LordoftheMorons posted... red sox 777 posted...I hoped for CT > FFVII for 11 years, and now its finally coming to fruition! At the freeze, CT 60/40s FF7. Followed by literal Crono/Vincent 2007 trends leading to a crushing FF7 comeback victory. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
ROUND 3 – DAY 5 – ALL OF DIVISION 5 Match CV: (1) The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time vs. (4) Final Fantasy IX Previous Rounds The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 91.03% against Hearthstone 76.89% against Suikoden II Final Fantasy IX 51.09% against Kingdom Hearts 57.85% against Okami Analysis While Playstation SFF was always possible between Final Fantasy VII and Suikoden II back in 2004 it’s quite surprising on the extent of it. Ocarina of Time is in no danger of losing any time soon, but like Link in 2010 it is probably more likely that Ocarina of Time no longer 60/40s the entire field outside of a couple of games. Final Fantasy IX has done well in this contest, but it was never going to have a chance against Ocarina of Time. This match will be a good comparison on to what Ocarina of Time is worth on the Game of the Decade field. I feel people are going to be a bit disappointed on Ocarina of Time for not tripling Final Fantasy IX or something, but in hindsight it will likely have a decent performance. charmander6000’s Bracket: LoZ: Ocarina of Time > Final Fantasy IX charmander6000’s Prediction: LoZ: Ocarina of Time wins, 69.12% - 30.88% Match CVI: (14) Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest vs. (2) Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Previous Rounds Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest 50.36% against Xenoblade Chronicles 52.11% against Fire Emblem: Awakening Castlevania: Symphony of the Night 74.99% against Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations 60.61% against Banjo-Kazooie Analysis SotN was always the big favourite to reach the division final, but there were several games that people thought had a chance to cause an upset, though most of those thoughts are now gone. Castlevania: SotN has been one of those quiet stars of the contest. It’s performance over the last two rounds suggest it getting pretty close to a top 20 game (most likely it’ll finished as a top 30). In a four-pack that was heavily debated Donkey Kong Country 2 was the game to emerge from it. As well as the game did you have to concede that it only reached this stage on the weakness of its opponents. The main question for this match is whether or not Donkey Kong Country 2 will outperform Banjo-Kazooie. Despite two rounds we really have no idea on Donkey Kong Country 2’s strength. Before the contest I thought Xenoblade Chronicles would be a slightly weaker Tales of Symphonia, but with the way Wii U games have performed it is likely much weaker. A better comparison would be using Fire Emblem. I feel Awakening would be stronger than the GBA game and it got around 40% on Star Wars: KotOR. charmander6000’s Bracket: Banjo-Kazooie > Donkey Kong Country 2 charmander6000’s Prediction: Castlevania: SotN wins, 58.78% - 41.22% --- BGE3: Today's Matches TESV: Skyrim > Metroid Prime, SM64 > LoZ: TP Points 127/152 |
I'm
actually impressed with MP today. It did a lot better after the deep
night vote than I thought. It only dropped like 3% after the power hour
compared to 6% in the previous two rounds. I thought it would lose by
1000-1500 votes. Maybe a product of higher votals. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Finally able to vote for Prime without reservation --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Metroid
Prime is a top 10 game but I'm glad skyrim pulled it off. Nice to see
something new can bite at the ankles of the upper echelon. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
what a random spike for skyrim --- xyzzy |
transcience posted... Karma Hunter posted...I told y'all Metroid has a pretty good SNV compared to its collapse during the FNV and day vote! Other than her crazy early vote, Samus does have different trends from most Nintendo characters. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Looks like a Metroid Prime spike to me downward spikes are still spikes --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Great
match here. I'm with pj -- loved Metroid Prime and barely played
Skyrim, but it's nice to see Skyrim is realizing its potential too. Metroid's had a heck of a run this contest, though its run ends soon with Majora's Mask. --- M E N: nominate Metal Man in 20XX! http://i.imgur.com/Dr4NAeq.png |
I
vaguely entertain Super Metroid over Majora's Mask, then I look over at
Super Mario 64 with a piddly sub-57% on a third-tier Zelda and reality
snaps back to me with a crushing impact. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Also if SM64 doesn't seriously watch out it's going to slip behind SMB3's win over LoZ1 before the match is over. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
I mean if the Old Game Wins holds true Majora's Mask exposed --- satoru iwata |
