GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1231
KH1 in 2010 had already weakened from KH1 in 2009. KH1 now doesn't look much different from how it was in 2010. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
The
GOTD x-stats hilariously have Prime getting 56% on Kingdom Hearts. And
if you plug Prime's number on Morrowind into the GOTD x-stats Prime
still barely loses. Lol x-stats. I'd still totally pick Prime in a rematch! I mean, would anyone take Vice City over Prime now? --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
It has, but it was seen between the 2009 and 2010 contest. KH2 went from 48% against Twilight Princess to 43%. Even Sora looked like a four-way wonder --- BGE3: Today's Matches LoZ:OoT > FFIX, BK > DKC2 Points 135/160 |
KamikazePotato posted... KH1 in 2010 had already weakened from KH1 in 2009. KH1 now doesn't look much different from how it was in 2010. Considering the characters themselves performed like total crap in the 2010 character battle of course KH dropped. I made a point earlier that Prime was never that weak, it was just that KH and GTA were much more popular in '09 than in '10 and later. 4-ways probably also mitigated both series' anti-votes while Prime had do deal with Paper Mario's presence and LFF between newer Nintendo games consistently produced disastrous results (see: MGS4 vs. Brawl in Round 4 as opposed to MGS4 vs. Brawl in Round 3). --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
I know some people predicted this, but Banjo-Kazooie being stronger than Donkey Kong Country 2 is beyond bizarre to me. The first two DKCs and GoldenEye are "THE" Rareware titles in terms of cultural footprint. Banjo has always seemed second-tier, alongside stuff like BattleToads and Killer Instinct, in terms of popularity and clout. I don't mean that as a knock against Banjo, because I think it's a pretty good game, but it's just weird. --- Now crack that combination: 27 99 23. |

I like all the pics. Especially the Dark Souls one. That is badass |
Those Super Metroid and Majora's Mask pics are incredible. --- Now crack that combination: 27 99 23. |
Dark Souls pic is amazing to anyone who has played the game. SM/MM pics are stellar even without that. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Unfortunately,
FF9 having an all-time bad day vote is showing up today. Ocarina looks
like it's going to clear 65%, which turns this performance from 'awful'
to just 'bad'. red soxes the world over can rejoice! --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. (edited 12/3/2015 3:22:56 PM)report |

charmander6000 posted... KH2 went from 48% against Twilight Princess to 43%. what does KH2 get on TP now --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Fr0zoN posted... FF9 vs Smash Wii U Through Mass Effect 1, Smash 4 gets 38.95% against 2010 MM. That's higher than FF9's 2010 stat, but that was behind SFF. If you adjust FF9 based on its performance against Okami this year, it gets 43.02% against 2010 MM. If you adjust through 2010 KH1, FF9 gets 39.03%. If you set KH1=KH2 and adjust that way, FF9 gets 41.01%. If you do wacky stuff like readjusting KH2 through its match against Melee this year, it gets even worse for Smash 4. In short: there isn't a result out there that paints Smash 4 as the probable winner. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. (edited 12/3/2015 3:34:50 PM)report |

match? --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |

Mac Arrowny posted... Would people here take Super Metroid > FFIX? What does everyone think Majora's Mask would get on OoT (without SFF) and FFIX after today's match? I see Super Metroid at roughly Twilight Princess level so I would take it over FF9. I'd say MM gets around 41% on OoT and 56% on FF9. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585.

That Dark Souls pic would make people who would normally vote for it not want to. f*** those guys, seriously. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
I
still think Pokemon beats it, but I'm starting to come around on
Undertale It kinda really is a really good and popular game. We always
complain that new games never gain traction here. Well, this one has
gained it and deserves it. It's not on FFVII, CT, or OOT level, but this
is nowhere near the same as Draven. Draven was a bunch of jerks who
didn't care about the character and just wanted to say, "See, LOL can
take over everything". At least Undertale is a legitimately good game. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
red sox 777 posted...
Red Sox, solid analysis as always on the math, but don't use Draven's backfire rate vs MMX/Ryu as a baseline for what blowback should be. I don't think anyone believes that those numbers were legit. There is no reason that Draven blowback was orders of magnitude lower in that match than in all others. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
One of the hardest boss fights = that DS pic. --- Formerly known as Dilated Chemist |
While Undertale should have more base strength now, it's still fodder. I wouldn't really say it's gained traction here. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |

red sox 777 posted... That is also encouraging for RBY and especially OOT I think. Especially OOT because Gamefaqs votals and counterrallies, will continue to rise, and will be much higher for the final. OoT's main advantage when facing Undertale is that we will have a yellow site alert for the finals, so that would bring in a lot of extra voters who know nothing about Undertale's path to the finals. They should be more inclined to vote for OoT over the regular voters in this contest who are more familiar with how Undertale got this far. The yellow site alert would probably spell doom for CT if it somehow gets to the finals to face OoT. OoT likes high vote totals while this is bad for CT. It is a bit surprising the backfire rate against Fallout 3 and SMW are very similar. I thought SMW would be a bit more respected on Tumblr than Fallout 3. What might have influenced the backfire rate against SMW are all of the posts complaining about Undertale being circulated all over Tumblr. A handful of bad posts from various Board 8ers about the Undertale domination have been reblogged thousands of times on Tumblr and the people who see these posts might be more likely to vote for Undertale when they might have previously considered voting for SMW. A 34.7% backfire rate is somewhere in the range of what I thought we might get in the RBY/Undertale match. One advantage in RBY's corner is rallying the game should be easier than rallying SMW. That should help offset a potentially larger Undertale rally next round if it somehow does grow even larger. The Tumblr rallies have most likely gotten pretty close to their maximum, so it will probably come down to rallying on Reddit, Facebook, and Twitter to make the Undertale rally even larger. Any increase in Undertale's natural GameFAQs strength between round 3 and next round will be bad for RBY. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
I don't think anyone believes that those numbers were legit. Why not? The servers were down. --- BGE3: Today's Matches LoZ:OoT > FFIX, BK > DKC2 Points 135/160 |

I
think the servers only went down the Link vs Draven match. In any case,
I think most people considered Draven vs X vs Ryu as legit. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
ROUND 3 – DAY 6 – ALL OF DIVISION 6 Match CVII: (1) The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past vs. (4) Dark Souls Previous Rounds The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 88.02% against Cave Story 65.45% against Final Fantasy IV Dark Souls 66.70% against Civilization V 55.40% against Metal Gear Solid V Analysis While it is nice to see a newer game doing well the only reason it is here is because it went up against weak competition. The only reading we have is through Perfect Dark and that was a game that lost to Modern Warfare. If you make Perfect Dark a bit stronger than Banjo-Kazooie like it was in their 2009 match then it is possible that Dark Souls could have a decent performance, but like GoldenEye Perfect Dark is more likely to be weaker this contest rather than stronger. Regardless of where Dark Souls ranks Link to the Past should have no issue winning this match. I think the bigger question is whether it will outdo its round 2 percent and I feel it is quite likely. Final Fantasy IV has shown to have decent strength and I just don’t see how a relatively new IP like Dark Souls could compete with that. charmander6000’s Bracket: LoZ: Link to the Past > Metal Gear Solid V charmander6000’s Prediction: LoZ: Link to the Past wins, 68.35% - 31.65% Match CVIII: (3) Super Metroid vs. (2) The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask Previous Rounds Super Metroid 79.46% against Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 59.59% against Super Mario Galaxy The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 75.89% against Valkyria Chronicles 68.87% against Final Fantasy XII Analysis See what avoiding Link to the Past can do for you. There’s a slight chance for an upset here if you compare Super Mario Galaxy’s performance against Twilight Princess and assume Twilight Princess would have more SFF than Super Metroid. While it is possible, I don’t think that was the case. I always thought Super Metroid was stronger than Metroid Prime, but the gap between the two should not be so great that it could defeat Majora’s Mask. Majora’s Mask has done enough to prove that it wasn’t overrated in the 2010 stats which mean it should be able to win this match. The main question would be the possibility of SFF. We all know what Link to the Past did, but that was two SNES games, a Nintendo 64 game wouldn’t be that heavily favoured. I am going to predict that there will be SFF, if there isn’t I could see Super Metroid finishing in the mid-40s. charmander6000’s Bracket: LoZ: Majora’s Mask > Super Metroid charmander6000’s Prediction: LoZ: Majora’s Mask wins, 63.56% - 36.44% --- BGE3: Today's Matches LoZ:OoT > FFIX, BK > DKC2 Points 135/160 |
I
think the servers only went down the Link vs Draven match. In any case,
I think most people considered Draven vs X vs Ryu as legit. I mean LoL's server were down. --- BGE3: Today's Matches LoZ:OoT > FFIX, BK > DKC2 Points 135/160 |
Yeah,
the LoL servers were actually down during the Draven/Ryu/MMX match.
With nothing for the League players to do, the subreddit was probably
more active than it usually would be on an average day. That helped
fuel was what probably the biggest Draven rally outside of the Snake
match. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Oh, I forgot about that. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
I
think char meant the league of legends servers. Those being down would
mean more players browsing the internet instead of playing league. I think Fallout 3 and SMW being of similar strength on Tumblr is not really surprising- SMW didn't do much better on Gamefaqs, which adores SNES Nintendo. And we know SMW lost badly to Animal Crossing on Tumblr, and Mario 3 got crushed by RBY. The main thing that helped SMW hold up better than Fallout is that Gamefaqs votals jumped 20% between rounds, keeping pace with the boost to the rally. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
MarquetteKing posted... Not even doubling FFIX? Feels like it's kinda weak Well, OoT had two matches with FFIX in the poll in 2009, but there were reasons for FFIX to underperform because it had Chrono Cross in round 1 and Final Fantasy VIII in round 2. Although for what it's worth, FFIX was only projected to get 36.85% on Majora's Mask in GOTD, but again, it was probably hidden behind some SFF on FFX. This is the first time we've ever gotten a "legit" read on FFIX. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Team Rocket Elite posted... I think the servers only went down the Link vs Draven match. In any case, I think most people considered Draven vs X vs Ryu as legit. It was for sure a legit win.

Wonder if OoT will make it to 65 --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
It seems to be slowing down now, but we're in the second night vote now, so FFIX should recover a bit and possibly prevent that. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
"Just
a heads up to confirm what you probably already knew. The results of
the Draven v Ryu v Mega Man X battle are completely accurate. What you
witnessed here was purely a rally from an outside source (Reddit's
League of Legends subreddit). There was absolutely no vote stuffing at
all, simply a huge influx of traffic." ~ SBAllen No foul play was detected and we know Draven is capable of massive vote rallies. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |

What would Super Mario Galaxy need to get on Final Fantasy XII for Super Metroid = Majora's Mask? |
tennisboy213 posted... What would Super Mario Galaxy need to get on Final Fantasy XII for Super Metroid = Majora's Mask? 61.48% GOTD suggests Mario Galaxy wins with 56.46% but Galaxy was probably behind some TP SFF. Portal 60/40'd FFXII in GOTD, so it wouldn't be unheard of for Mario Galaxy to be able to do it. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
