AlecTrevelyan006 posted... (for the record, why was everyone so confident that Zelda was screwed when we know Zelda's day vote vs Metroid's? Is it just because of the geo-trends?) MM didn't make a dent in the morning. And the ASV has basically disappeared till now. Also super metroid was very stable in round 1 and 2 --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
A S V It's back! --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Might as well root for the upset since I have MM>LttP and won't be getting those points anyway --- Christopher Christopher Christopher Christopher |

Geotrends lie very frequently. I find it hard to trust them. They aren't nothing, but the intra-geo trends, the changes inside countries, matter as much as the raw trends. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
30 vote barrier stabilished! (lol) |
This still isn't the power of our traditional ASVs. Not by a longshot. But in a match this close, it hardly mattered. But I wonder how Majora's Mask can keep this mini-ASV up considering its very existence right now is defying gravity. --- Goddamn Ocarina of Time |
5 votes from the palindrome, Alec. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Hopefully the SNV can help SM. But the next couple hours may hurt a lot! Somebody rally SM!! We can't lose the best result of the contest. It doesn't have to be a Metroid site, Undertale has taught us if you tell random people to vote for a game, they will obey more often than not. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Phew my bracket is safe. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
I propose we rally every single match on r/Undertale if nothing else, it may get them fed up with rallies entirely --- Goddamn Ocarina of Time |

Nintendo 64 vote barrier! --- sharp. distance. |
yep its over MM wins by 51% by the end |
Year
of SNES: Where Final Fantasy VI fails to break 55% on Wind Waker, Super
Mario World is just another victim of the Undertale rally, and Super
Metroid fails to upset Majora's Mask. I'm still surprised Metroid's even making it this close. Unless you think there's a drastic Zelda drop this also makes Super the easy favorite against Prime. Yikes. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
this is a strong ASV for a contest with 40kish votes. can't expect the old days with a third of the votes! --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
Lol this is weird Alec, it would have palindromed that 64 lead... --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Huh,
so someone tried to rally Dark Souls in Reddit, but those people went
and voted for Zelda in BOTH polls.It makes sense, after all, people who
like Dark Souls are often people who liked old-school Zelda. --- Arcvalons really is a genius.-kamikazetomato. Voice of Myself. |
Hey guys - the plucky underdog, Legend of Zelda, is really doing it! It's going to pull off the upset! It's as exciting as Coldplay playing the Super Bowl halftime show!! --- Yay - Raytan is the guru champion of awesomeness. |

I haven't been up to date on offseason discussion, did people think prime was stronger than SM? No wonder you guys picked SMG lol. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Welcome
back, ASV. It's rather surprising considering the morning vote favored
SM pretty hard. But, it looks like Zelda has still got a good portion
of its ASV power. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
I think this plucky underdog **** is the worst thing to come of this contest so far. Yes, even worse than Undertale. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
LinkMarioSamus posted... Year of SNES: Where Final Fantasy VI fails to break 55% on Wind Waker, Super Mario World is just another victim of the Undertale rally, and Super Metroid fails to upset Majora's Mask. Majora's Mask is a much bigger game than Super Metroid, so Metroid getting so close is a huge achievement. In fact, Metroid winning could be seen as a slap in the face for 00's games in general. Final Fantasy VI vs. Wind Waker could have easily gone the other way in a different year. Undertale is an outlier. Just because the SNES isn't dominating every match doesn't mean it's not year of the SNES. --- "This place has a nice view of Hod. And also... I promised someone." - Asch, Tales of the Abyss |
Hi! so how much has Super Metroid extended it's lea...what the f*** What is this match jesus christ --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |

The plucky underdog thing started way back in 2010 when MM made that contest a joke, it's hardly new. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Link what a plucky underdog, saving us from the oppression of those Final Fantasy games. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
KamikazePotato posted... The plucky underdog thing started way back in 2010 when MM made that contest a joke, it's hardly new. The only thing I remember from 2010 was half the board screaming at me because I had the audacity of putting MM over G/S/C, let alone over FFX. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
DaruniaTheGoron posted... LinkMarioSamus posted...Year of SNES: Where Final Fantasy VI fails to break 55% on Wind Waker, Super Mario World is just another victim of the Undertale rally, and Super Metroid fails to upset Majora's Mask. Yeah, I picked SM > SMG because I thought Super Metroid was always stronger than Metroid Prime: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/1528-whats-your-favorite-all-time-metroid-title It is an older poll, but I thought the opinion hadnt changed much. --- Yay - Raytan is the guru champion of awesomeness. |
you're a believer in underdogs, congrats --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
So what is the lead change counter at now? |
MM
winning in 2010 was incredibly fun. It had so many naysayers
throughout its run, a perfect way for Link to stick it to the haters. I mean, I want to see Link's reign of dominance toppled too, but not in a contest rigged to set that up by eliminating his strongest games. And definitely not at the hands of Brawl. Brawl winning would have been a complete disaster, and MM saved us from it. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Super Metroid just got a bump again. --- Video Games are pretty cool. |
red sox 777 posted... MM winning in 2010 was incredibly fun. It had so many naysayers throughout its run, a perfect way for Link to stick it to the haters. I agree with this. As much as I hate Undertale rallies from tumblr, At the end of the day it's still significant rallies outside of Gfaqs so theres nothing you can do. Brawl being a legitimate winner on this site would have been a bad day for Gfaqs because theres no huge outside influence. It's our site saying hey man Brawl is the best game of the Decade and that would have been hard to stomach. MM truly did save us. Brawl not even being nominated shows how truly f***ing terrible of a result that would have been. For that MM deserves praise...and votes! |
I
am trying to remember - what was the last contest where the consensus
to win actually won the contest? Was it Sephiroth in the Villain
contest? --- Yay - Raytan is the guru champion of awesomeness. |
What would happen if both had the same amount of votes? Rematch? --- I got the shotgun. You got the briefcase. It's all in the game, though, right? (Omar Little, Ep. 6, Season 2, The Wire TV Series) |
cyko posted... I am trying to remember - what was the last contest where the consensus to win actually won the contest? Was it Sephiroth in the Villain contest? Link in just about everything post 2006. |

cyko posted... I am trying to remember - what was the last contest where the consensus to win actually won the contest? Was it Sephiroth in the Villain contest? Assuming you don't mean any Tournament of Champions business, Samus was the consensus pick in 2006. Link was the consensus pick in 2008. And then again in 2010. --- Goddamn Ocarina of Time |
Andreas2402 posted... What would happen if both had the same amount of votes? Rematch? Allen would just carry on the same polls for further 5 minute updates until one was in the lead. |

Metroid
has to get out of the next four hours losing about 100-150 votes to
have a chance to come back. that most likely ain't happenin'. --- xyzzy |
OrangeCrush980 posted... LinkMarioSamus posted...Year of SNES: Where Final Fantasy VI fails to break 55% on Wind Waker, Super Mario World is just another victim of the Undertale rally, and Super Metroid fails to upset Majora's Mask. You're right on that. Although now that I think of it, FFVI's two "amazing" wins were over a last-gen AAA title and a Mario game. The rest of the contest has made those wins not look as great. Does anyone actually picks KOTOR > TTYD pre-contest, just out of curiosity? To be fair KOTOR was higher in both the GOTD x-stats and...you know. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
Lttp/MM will be more interesting than LttP/SM It will give us a good idea of hwo much it can put up against OoT. Indirectly LttP should be able to do 45% on OoT in this current "snes boost" contest. (edited 12/4/2015 2:05:00 PM)report |
Zelda's already slowing down based on the hours, but that might be primarily driven by a few aberrant Super Metroid spikes. --- Goddamn Ocarina of Time |
transience posted... Metroid has to get out of the next four hours losing about 100-150 votes to have a chance to come back. that most likely ain't happenin'. You know tranny, I wish I could care, but I haven't played either of these games in years. Worse, when I played Majora's Mask, I just got frustrated endlessly, and I blame that on myself for trying to rush through the game. I think it would have been better to wait for GOTD to be over so that I would have had a bit of extra motivation to play it lol (literally finished it the day after the contest ended). --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
SM
should have been remade. The game is still very relevant. Just look at
Axiom Verge. I think SM is a lot better than SV even today due to AM's
somewhat very Obtuse game design. |
A remake of Super Metroid might not be a bad idea if only to gauge any remaining interest in the series. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
more
2D metroid games should have been made anyway. Just Nintendo being
f***ing lazy like they are these days. We got a ton of incredibly well
made 2D Castlevania games post SOTN(Order is actually my fav). |
Based on the last 30 minutes, Super Metroid wins by 175 votes. |
