Karma Hunter posted... 12 hour matches would have stopped Undertale before it even started and killed Majora's Mask you say that like its a bad thing --- CJayC | 6/3/2003 | Message Detail GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.

eww 12 hour matches. If we ever go back down that road mine as well start off with 6 hour matches. --- Formerly known as Dilated Chemist |
So what is the general consensus as to why both OOT and MM look weak and ALTTP looks strong? --- "Don't quote me boy, cuz I ain't said ****" - Eazy E |
SNES --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Ocarina of Time Majora's Mask Link to the Past Final Fantasy IX Super Metroid Dark Souls One of these is more out of place than the others. --- Formerly known as Dilated Chemist |
LeonhartFour posted... No CoD is going to be worth anything in these contests anymore. why would DKC1 > DKC2 be a thing --- For your SuperNiceDog. At least Kupo has class and doesn't MESSAGE the people -Dr Pizza |
Hm,
hy are so many expecting MGS2 to do better than Paper Mario on RE4?
Didn't MGS3 drop like a rock, and shouldn't MGS2 do worse...? --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |
question about the pics that were posted in the last topic - will those be entirely visible on mobile, or will they be chopped? --- yet all sailors of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness |
Haste_2 posted... Hm, hy are so many expecting MGS2 to do better than Paper Mario on RE4? Didn't MGS3 drop like a rock, and shouldn't MGS2 do worse...? MGS2 solidly > MGS3 --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
You
could maybe argue Grand Theft Auto III is the strongest of its series
but it probably wouldn't be by much. And while this doesn't necessarily
means it's wrong, my understanding is that III at the top would go
heavily against the GTA fanbase's preferences. Without looking it up I have no idea whether Civilization IV or V is stronger and wouldn't trust Civ IV's GotD result to be consistent with current strength but it barely matters given gamefaqs doesn't care about either. Same dilemma for original Animal Crossing vs. New Leaf. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
The_Lazy_Goron posted... So what is the general consensus as to why both OOT and MM look weak and ALTTP looks strong? MM isn't really significantly weaker than it was during GotD. Super Metroid is just super strong. OoT has lost a step but I feel like it should still be the clear #2 game and that's mostly due to Chrono Trigger suddenly becoming much stronger. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
Team Rocket Elite posted... The_Lazy_Goron posted...So what is the general consensus as to why both OOT and MM look weak and ALTTP looks strong? Ok. So I'm guessing strength wise its OOT > ALTTP > MM, or is that wrong? --- "Don't quote me boy, cuz I ain't said ****" - Eazy E |
That is our understanding --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
OoT
is still probably the #1 game until further notice. If CT can do to
Melee what it did to FFX, then yeah, we probably have a new #1. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Team Rocket Elite posted... OoT has lost a step but I feel like it should still be the clear #2 game and that's mostly due to Chrono Trigger suddenly becoming much stronger. Are we stating CT > OoT as a clear fact now? --- .-#Elements of Water#-. |
My
favorite Zelda is OOT, but I've seen so many people saying their
favorite is MM and that they wish it could give OOT a match. Doesn't
seem likely it would now though. --- "Don't quote me boy, cuz I ain't said ****" - Eazy E |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... MGS2 solidly > MGS3 yeah I'm not sure you're the best person to ask about the MGS hierarchy MoogleKupo141 posted... why would DKC1 > DKC2 be a thing I don't know why it's a thing, but it seems to be based on their 2009 performances --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Surskit posted... Team Rocket Elite posted...OoT has lost a step but I feel like it should still be the clear #2 game and that's mostly due to Chrono Trigger suddenly becoming much stronger. I think it's pretty likely but it's still a point under debate. SSBM vs CT should give us a more concrete answer. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585.

KamikazePotato posted... OoT is still probably the #1 game until further notice. If CT can do to Melee what it did to FFX, then yeah, we probably have a new #1. you mean if FFX and Melee remain as close to each other as they seemingly always have been, CT is the new strongest game on the site? how does that work? Melee struggled to get 55% on Kingdom Hearts II, let me remind everyone. 2.5% worse than TP, the game everyone thinks is weaksauce, I might add. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif (edited 12/4/2015 7:07:57 PM)report |
I
still can't see OoT losing to anything except MAYBE FF7. Still think CT
is a clear #3. We've seen Link/Zelda games look vulnerable in contests
before, but every time they manage to step it up in the final rounds
when it matters. I'm not worried about OoT yet. As for Majora, it's clear that GotD was a bit of a fluke, in that it got a least a 3-4% bump as an OoT proxy. I would take Melee in a rematch, and maybe FFX. The real outlier here is Super Metroid which has been impressive all contest. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
Karma Hunter posted... 12 hour matches would have stopped Undertale before it even started and killed Majora's Mask this would have been a day match, so i think MM still wins. Undertale would have also had a day match in round 1 and probably won by even more, but then lost to Fallout 3 in a night match. --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |
Well,
yeah, if CT proves that its result against FFX wasn't SFF or some other
weirdness, and it clear the result that OoT got against FF9 on
something like Melee, then yeah it's #1. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. (edited 12/4/2015 7:09:27 PM)report |
Xuxon posted... this would have been a day match, so i think MM still wins. Undertale would have also had a day match in round 1 and probably won by even more, but then lost to Fallout 3 in a night match. You're assuming a rally that needed 17 hours to get started somehow comes around in a 12 hour match? --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
CT is number 1 when it proves it and beats OoT which isn't happening this year so sux for CT four more years of ZELDA --- http://i.imgur.com/RHvCiY3.png |
uh, yes? it's not that "it took 17 hours" it's that "it took until 5pm" --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |
Xuxon posted... Karma Hunter posted...12 hour matches would have stopped Undertale before it even started and killed Majora's Mask No Undertale would have lost since it took like 17 hours for the rally to reach critical mass. That would have been less in a day match (since Tumblr would also work faster during the day), but it wouldn't have been enough. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword (edited 12/4/2015 7:12:28 PM)report |

We've seen Link/Zelda games look vulnerable in contests before, but every time they manage to step it up in the final rounds when it matters. I guess I should say I think CT will look stronger indirectly. Maybe in a direct match, OoT will work a miracle and win anyways. The problem is there are no final rounds. OoT will never directly face CT or FF7 due to Undertale. OoT will never step up it's game since its next opponents are SotN, aLttp and someone from Division 7 or 8. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
This might be the second most disappointing match of the contest --- satoru iwata |
People were trying to rally for Undertale all day, and it took 17 hours before it actually kicked in. The problem with first round rallies is that they're slow to start. The vast majority of "rallied" voters aren't aware of the match's existence. It took Draven's first round rally a while to start, and that's with Reddit being a centralized location. Tumblr isn't a centralized location. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif (edited 12/4/2015 7:13:55 PM)report |
Hm, the counting topic...1 2 3 4 !!! --- Warning, the self-destruct system has been activated, all personnel should evacuate immediately, 5 minutes to detonation. |
Undertale
in a 12-hour day match skips the previous 12 hours where it was getting
smashed by Mass Effect 3. It wins more easily there. The rally probably
starts a little later, but it would still start. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
The_Lazy_Goron posted... My favorite Zelda is OOT, but I've seen so many people saying their favorite is MM and that they wish it could give OOT a match. Doesn't seem likely it would now though. Yeah I prefer MM too but OoT has always been on top here and elsewhere. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
LeonhartFour posted... KamikazePotato posted...OoT is still probably the #1 game until further notice. If CT can do to Melee what it did to FFX, then yeah, we probably have a new #1. If CT gets the same percentage on SSBM as it got on FF10 and you set KH and KH2 as equals, CT is projected to beat OoT with 55% (CT->SSBM->KH2=KH->FF9->OoT). KH2 was stronger the last time it met KH and that's in CT's favour. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
I
feel like if you want to proclaim CT the favorite, go ahead and do it
now. You don't have to wait for Melee to do it. It's done plenty
already. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif (edited 12/4/2015 7:25:51 PM)report |
It's
good to see Metroid get some credit after all these years and after its
latest turmoil with its newest games, or lack thereof...like Mega Man,
who also had his biggest win in a long time in the last contest. He
beat Charizard despite Zero and was a Pokemon-assassin. We also just
saw MMX do well on FFX. I wonder if there's a weird boost for respected
series that feel underused and are long due a respectable release. That's right, Other M and Federation Force have insulted the fanbase so bad that they've boosted the Metroid series as a whole. --- M E N: nominate Metal Man in 20XX! http://i.imgur.com/Dr4NAeq.png |
I
think with FFX, you can always suspect Square SFF. Melee is Nintendo,
and a different generation from CT, there can be no doubt about SFF. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
LeonhartFour posted... BlAcK TuRtLe posted...MGS2 solidly > MGS3 DKC1 should have a higher play rate due to having sold more, and was the one that wowed people with stretching the SNES to its limits. DKC2 is the best game ever made, but it just improved upon everything DKC did and came a year later in the console's lifespan. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! Future 2015 Guru Contest winner. |
Xuxon posted... uh, yes? it's not that "it took 17 hours" it's that "it took until 5pm" Leon is right. It wasn't a 5pm thing, it was a time to gain reblog momentum thing. Are people seriously wishing for 12 hour matches though? They suck. I prefer multiple matches a day - I'd just slow it down. 4 per day first, 2 second and maybe 3rd, 1 from 3 or 4 on. Even without Undertale I'd prefer the slower route. Undertale doesn't change my opinion on the issue. We will never be able to control rallies with our low vote totals. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
I am a firm supporter of DKC1 > DKC2 --- satoru iwata (edited 12/4/2015 8:01:40 PM)report |
Nah,
I think most people are being facetious about the 12-hour thing because
Super Metroid would have won if this was a 12 hour match. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
We
can control how many matches at a time one rally affects. I also like
being able to focus on one match at a time, fodder or not -- it's hard
to keep up sometimes! Multiple matches at once have been enjoyable, yes, but even without Undertale I thought SBAllen got a little carried away with making some of our later rounds move faster with this format. --- M E N: nominate Metal Man in 20XX! http://i.imgur.com/Dr4NAeq.png |
24
hours is way better. And Draven would have annihilated everything
without room for any excitement, including Link, on 12 hours. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Overall
I am really happy with this year's format. It's not gimmicky and has
the least impact of any of the formats relative to pure 1v1. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
I think DKC2 would do better than DKC1 against a strong opponent but DKC1 beats fodder harder than 2 does --- RIP in Pieces GamerJM, 2007-2015. You will be missed. #UnPermabanJim |
