GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1234
Or maybe 4-ways are what it was really worth and Brawl overrated it! Keep in mind that Halo got less than 54% against Uncharted 2 that year The same Uncharted 2 that Sonic 2 was pounding even well before the Undertale rally kicked in --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
I
don't really think Brawl overrated it. It definitely didn't get the
anti-early vote that Brawl's other matches did; Brawl smashed it early
on like in every other match where its Nintendo vs. WRPG. Maybe it's
overrated by a little, but not to any significant degree. Uncharted 2/Sonic is completey tumblr-infected result and I don't trust that it in the slightest. Even if Uncharted 2 is that weak, eh, time probably marched on for it just like a lot of other games we saw. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. (edited 12/5/2015 12:54:45 AM)report |
Regardless, we'll get a good idea of what Skyrim and Prime are worth at the very least when they face off against Mario 64 oh wait we won't --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
KamikazePotato posted... Uncharted 2/Sonic is completey tumblr-infected result and I don't trust that it in the slightest. Sonic 2 likely would have beaten it very easily even without the Tumblr rally. It wasn't close even from the beginning. Sonic was already at 60% at the freeze. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
This
has been an impressive bleed for SMRPG. It's almost lost a full percent
since 3 AM started. It really does have the worst night vote ever. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
I
mean it's easy to say "All these other games that Fallout 3 looked good
against are all conveniently noticeably weaker when we see them not
facing Fallout 3" but that feels like a trend to me! people made the same excuses for Magus in 2005...! --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
It wouldn't have been in contention, but it would've looked a looot nicer. Same reason I put FF8 in my Lower Elite tier, really. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Still probably would've been 60/40ish. No reason to think otherwise, really. And Sonic 2 is not a strong game. That's been well established. FFVIII was at least putting up 36-37% before the rally kicked into overdrive and there's reason to believe SMW is the strongest Mario game. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Under
61% and not even 4 AM yet. The dead zone, the abyss, now lies before
us. Can Chrono Cross break 41% before the night is out? --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Either
MGS2 is very close to MGS3 or this is a pretty weak showing by RE4.
Wonder if it can hang on and take out a SNES game next round. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
You can hold on, SMRPG! I believe in you! sleep in late Euros it's Saturday --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Man, why is it so hard for this board to believe that MGS2 is close to MGS3 in strength? --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Kotetsu534 posted... Either MGS2 is very close to MGS3 or this is a pretty weak showing by RE4. Wonder if it can hang on and take out a SNES game next round. I dont see how its weak at all. Mgs2 was worth about 48% on mgs3 in 2010 indirectly. Re4 isnt the same game it was. If it beats smrpg i would say its done amazingly well on this snesrpg boosted faqs. The only reason games like RE4 are even strong on this site is because a large crowd of nintendo fans who owned the cube bought it and loved it. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif (edited 12/5/2015 1:12:32 AM)report |
What a massive underperformance by RE4, definitely chump of the contest so far. --- This person is a well-known troll, please don't take his words too seriously. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/user.php?=2426382 |
LeonhartFour posted... because MGS2 is lame Oh yeah as a game its awful. I hate it. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
JustForFun1988 posted... What a massive underperformance by RE4, definitely chump of the contest so far. Maybe if you have ridiculously stupid expectations. It isnt an rpg. It isnt on the snes or ps1 or n64 and it doesnt have nintendo characters in it. Theres a glass ceiling for games like that here. With the theme SNESfaqs id say re4 has done well --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif (edited 12/5/2015 1:23:01 AM)report |
SMRPG down to 51% in the UK now. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Morning is pretty far away man! The Europe vote lasts a long time these days! --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Morning is even farther away on a weekend, people sleep in more. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
I just woken up and I checked the results. This is what I have to say: 1st match=Mario with above 60%. It does makes sense. 2nd match=RE 4 that low eh? Guss Mario is the winner next round. Also what happened yesterday? When I left Metroid was winning with around 250 votes! --- Why do we exist?What happens when we stop existing? 124 Gurus were better than me in BGE 2015 contest! |
So uh..what are you following exactly? both matches are over It's only a matter of performance now --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
And Leon, this one's for you: Deus Ex vs. FF4: 30.23% Deus Ex vs. Fallout 3: 25.73% FF4 vs. Fallout 3: 42.58% FF4 vs. LTTP: 34.55% Dark Souls vs. LTTP: 29.42% Dark Souls vs. FF4: 42.59% Dark Souls vs. Fallout 3: 36.27% MGS5 vs. Dark Souls: 44.6% MGS5 vs. Fallout 3: 32.35% Perfect Dark vs. MGS5: 45.33% Perfect Dark vs. Fallout 3 in 2015: 29.33% Perfect Dark's projected result against Fallout 3 in 2010: 29.32% Game of the Decade stats: they work. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
SMRPG by the hour: 1:00 | 62.64% 2:00 | 63.62% 3:00 | 60.07% 4:00 | 56.29% 5:00 | 55.68% --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |

red sox 777 posted... SMRPG down to 51% in the UK now. Didn't vote for either of them --- I BLESS THE RAINS DOWN IN AFRICA |
Almost below 60, huh? Decided to buy Super Metroid on VC after yesterday's strong showing. Just got the Varia suit. I always forget how fast Metroidvanias go! --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
HaRRicH posted... 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. I jokingly suggested a while back that GameFAQs hates anything relating to new releases. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
SwiftyDC posted... I remember the first time I played MGS2, I was like "Where's Snake?" This. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
Also
I'd totally take Prime over RE4, if only because I like...oh for
heaven's sake they're literally both top 3 games of all time for me! --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
hey, both games more or less stopped the bleeding. wonder where smrpg ends up. round 4 should clear up a lot of things. these middle of the pack games need a barometer like OOT to show us if they're worth much in the grand scheme. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
I'm not overly concerned about RE4 next round based on these results. Still concerned about MGS3 tomorrow though, although not really affected by these results. Skyrim > Metroid Prime really made me think ME2 will beat MGS3. --- NEW YORK METS - 2015 National League Champions |
I'm rooting for Mass Effect 2 to make the semis. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
ME2 shall not take out the best Metal Gear. For all I'm going on about SOTC I might vote for Metal Gear Solid over it. I had a lot of fun revisiting it last year while I haven't played SOTC in ages. Been thinking of revisiting it maybe next year though. The really stupid thing is that MGS2 doing so well makes it seem like the Metal Gear name means a lot, then you look at the rest of the contest and scratch your head. MGS2 was also probably the Metal Gear game that looked least bad in GOTD too, though that may be because we never put any expectations on it in the first place. In an earlier topic I suggested that MGS2 vs. Metroid Prime might be a debatable match, but it probably isn't. Hey Ulti may I say something that'll piss you off? --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil (edited 12/5/2015 6:07:37 AM)report |
I
do think the Starcraft/ME2 rallies hurt MGS3, but even if that match
should have been 55/45 or something I'm still not very confident. Hope
Big Boss can pull through though! --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
if
ME2 somehow makes the SF and if we're assuming tumblr will rally too
hard for Undertale then ME has to be the star franchise of the contest
surely? ME3 will be #2 on xstats and ME2 Making a SF. |
This
is just regarding some Wind Waker discussion from earlier, but the game
isn't necessarily that weak. Was projected to get over 40% on Ocarina
back in 2k4. Wouldn't be too shocking if that were the case now. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |

Vote totals have taken a hard hit today. We're looking at 43k. I guess it's a reflection on the relative weakness of the games. --- BGE3: Today's Matches SMRPG > Chrono Cross, RE4 > MGS2 Points 147/176 |
Darn, SMRPG fell below 60%. Not by much and it looks like it'll get back over 60% pretty soon, but still. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Prayers
that the pic factor for MGS3 saves me tomorrow. And that maybe Bioshock
was a bigger overperformance because of rallies than we thought. Or
that Bioshock is just stronger than we thought lol. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |

I
have a hard time believing MGS3 wins tomorrow, even when you factor in
the rallies. It outright lost to BioShock in the US! Plus Mass Effect
has shown to have a really strong day vote, so it should do even better
than BioShock there. --- Rest in Peace, foREVer. whatisurnameplz (edited 12/5/2015 8:26:55 AM)report |
you know what else lost in the U.S. and still won the match Majora's Mask and Final Fantasy IX MGS3 in good company --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
SMRPG back at 60%. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |
SMRPG or RE4? --- Video Games are pretty cool. |
Given the pics, I'm more worried for MGS1 than for 3. That SotC pic is legit art while ME2's is just confusing. --- http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
