Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1237
The rally has clearly blown its wad early. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
You
know it is over right? Melee is around 55% in USA. Now this can change
yeah, since CT is winning in almost every other country, but it has to
drop to around 51% in USA to even have a chance. --- Why do we exist?What happens when we stop existing? 124 Gurus were better than me in BGE 2015 contest! |
Oh man, woke up to Melee winning! But looks like it's starting to fade. Can it get a second wind and hold on? --- NEW YORK METS - 2015 National League Champions |
DpObliVion posted... Oh man, woke up to Melee winning! But looks like it's starting to fade. Can it get a second wind and hold on? The rally will pick up once north America starts waking up. If CT wasnt worth close to 60 on melee naturally this match owuld hace been over a long time ago. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
Melee down to 51% in Canada, and CT over 57% in Quebec. 7:30 OOT/FFIX - 19310 CT/SSBM - 26184 Extra votes - 6874 387 extra votes over the last half hour, or about 64 per update. It's good that CT is still making headway against this power, but that's rather more rallying than we'd like here.
That 55% is all due to rallying, it will drop as the morning vote arrives in the US. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Gain of 22 there for Melee! --- NEW YORK METS - 2015 National League Champions |
CT would be winning in the US without the rally, so that number isn't very relevant to what will follow. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Looks like I missed quite the night. Nice to see Chrono Trigger cutting, but I don't think Melee fans will let this one go. --- BGE3: Today's Matches FFX > SSBM, FFVII > FFVI Points 163/192 |
Remember how some people thought that throwaway poll where 6 beat 7 meant something? LOL --- 145/192 pts - the GameFAQs' 20th Anniversary Best. Game. Ever. Contest! NP: Super Smash Bros. Melee/Final Fantasy VII |
ffmasterjose posted... Remember how some people thought that throwaway poll where 6 beat 7 meant something? FFVI would win if not for Melee fans favoring FFVII by a lot. |
FF7 was doing quite fine before the rally. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! Future 2015 Guru Contest runner-up. |
Averia posted... ffmasterjose posted...Remember how some people thought that throwaway poll where 6 beat 7 meant something? FFVII was winning with about 55% and rising. The rally is probably helping it by about 1%. FFVI is the turd of the round, no question. |
Averia posted... ffmasterjose posted...Remember how some people thought that throwaway poll where 6 beat 7 meant something? This is completely wrong. Not only was FFVII winning before the rally, there has also been far less spillover than the other times we had rallies. --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
I was just trying to find an excuse for poor FFVI. |
Oh, and should FFVII actually end up with over 60% in this match, I will say that FFVI is in contention for turd of the contest. |
Averia posted... ffmasterjose posted...Remember how some people thought that throwaway poll where 6 beat 7 meant something? Nope FFVII was gonna win anyway. And there isn't really any spillover from Melee either. The CT/Melee match has about what....2500+ votes more than the FFVI/FFVII match right now. Edit: Looks like I replied too late if you were merely trying to make excuses! --- "I do because I can." http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/Micer101.png (edited 12/7/2015 4:58:13 AM)report |
Averia posted... ffmasterjose posted...Remember how some people thought that throwaway poll where 6 beat 7 meant something? No it would lose. But not by much. Ffvii is the strongest game outside America by some large distance. It would double just about most things even ocarina if you took away north American votes. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
Well,
the one game I cared the most about is basically done. I doubt Melee
fans will let this one go even if CT takes the lead back. That'd also
mean FF7 is done. Should Melee win here I'm fully aboard the Undertale
train. |
Oh, and should FFVII actually end up with over 60% in this match, I will say that FFVI is in contention for turd of the contest. The rally would've helped that and besides, the game has had a good contest up until it got hit by rally overflow. You can't really trust a random PotD poll. --- BGE3: Today's Matches FFX > SSBM, FFVII > FFVI Points 163/192 |
8 AM Chrono Trigger by the Hour: 1:00 | 55.22% | +669 2:00 | 44.25% | -583 3:00 | 44.15% | -435 4:00 | 46.12% | -208 5:00 | 48.94% | -68 6:00 | 52.14% | +87 7:00 | 51.26% | +72 8:00 | 51.89% | +115 OOT/FFIX - 20409 Undertale/SMW - 29609 CT/SSBM - 27751 Votes above OOT/FFIX: 7342 Estimated Rallied Votes by Hour: 1:00 | 903 2:00 | 1797 3:00 | 1221 4:00 | 807 5:00 | 553 6:00 | 500 7:00 | 694 8:00 | 855 The rally is rolling with the morning vote, but so are the natural Gamefaqs votes, and CT cuts a little more that hour. The rally is not rolling nearly as hard as Undertale anymore- we lost more than 800 votes relative to Undertale/SMW last hour. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET.

Yeah,
sucks to see Chrono Trigger go out here after all it showed early on.
Granted it's just delaying the inevitable given what's waiting for it in
later rounds but... --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. (edited 12/7/2015 5:08:20 AM)report |
What a hot mess this contest has become. Bacon should only do another one if users need to register to vote. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |

CT
would really like to be cutting a little faster. It's got just under 7
hours until the ASV. This contest there hasn't been much of an ASV,
but you can bet there will be one today with Smash rallying. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
I just woke up, and I honestly thought I mentally got the match percentages mixed up. Who the f*** even cares if Melee wins? Let Chrono Trigger get its shot at the championship, it deserves it --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
MechanicalWall posted... Who the f*** even cares if Melee wins? Top 3 game for me. There is also a lot of symmetry here with Seph/Mega Man from 2002. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
Reddit cares! The eternal enemy of Gamefaqs! --- Why do we exist?What happens when we stop existing? 124 Gurus were better than me in BGE 2015 contest! |
This is a reddit rally? Board invasion in 10... --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
Reddit's had good taste lately! --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
Well they're not voting for Chrono Trigger, so obviously they don't have great taste. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
Board
8 is hilarious and it's they take this s*** so seriously. It's pretty
funny when somebody the want to win loses a la Link losing to Draven a
couple years back. Pretty sad that this is what B8 is most known for. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
Well if nothing else, we're not the ones who flocked en masse to another website and overwhelmed their polls out of spite. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
The contest board is known for taking the contest seriously? shocking --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
Hmm, Reddit seems to be down right now. Don't know how long it'll be for. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |

Been reading the comments here even since the match started but can only comment now And I must say, I don't get you guys When it was Draven, people said "I don't hate rallying, I hate that reddit invade our board" When it was Undertale "I don't hate rallying, but I hate if a weak game becomes the strongest because of them If they help a strong game there is no problem" And now we have Melee, which is a strong game and well liked here by many, and you still complain? Face it, contests changed, we have much lower votals and it means rallies are stronger Anyway, this match is the most depressing match in this contest We all believed in CT winning, and when it was going 57% on Melee it looked like the winner of the contest, our saviour against Undertale Yet it couldn't deal with a Smash rally, and if we are to believe CT>OOT, there really is no hope of stopping Undertale Even if Smash wins (which it probably won't) it's still too close to CT, and this is a big rally Pokemon is indeed the last hope --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
This contest should be taken seriously, but not for the reason most people care. There's a cash prize involved to the person who can most skillfully predict the bracket. Throw in a bunch of rallying bulls*** and all the sudden the contest is closer to a raffle giveaway. If not for Undertale/Melee rallies, I would likely be on the leaderboard and in prize contention based on my picks for the rest of the contest. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
Uhhhhhh I've been saying I hate rallying from the start --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Yeah, it's back for me too. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
CT is loved by everyone here. That is why there is the most complaining now. --- Why do we exist?What happens when we stop existing? 124 Gurus were better than me in BGE 2015 contest! |
I
have no idea what to think. I like CT and Melee equally so I barely
care who wins that. Then I barely care about the rally-tainted results
that make this contest look so random...yeah, I just don't care about
anything. Plus three of my top five games got eliminated last round, although they at least all broke 45% in their losses. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
So about FFVII vs. FFVI. Is that godstomp from the rally, or was that already happening? --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
My understanding is FFVII was winning easily already but the rally is probably helping it a little. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
So about FFVII vs. FFVI. It was already well on its way. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
It was like 55ish before the rally iirc, but it was rising. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Wow, would've thought they would overwhelmingly pick FFVII, what with Cloud in Smash and all. Guess it didn't need the help. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
I
don't think the rally is having much effect on the other match, FF7 was
over 55% before the rally kicked in, and as we all know, FF7 will rise
all day against most opponents. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
It hasn't. CT/Melee has 3000 more votes. --- Why do we exist?What happens when we stop existing? 124 Gurus were better than me in BGE 2015 contest! |
Safer_777 posted... CT is loved by everyone here. That is why there is the most complaining now. But this is hypocrisy Imagine the contest finale, Chrono Trigger vs Ocarina of Time Ocarina of Time leading with 53%, and is increasing slowly Then someone puts a rally on /r/gaming, which somehow turns out they are big fans of Chrono Trigger Chrono Trigger turns it around in 2 hours, match ends with 55/45% for Chrono Trigger Will the same people complain? can you honestly say that they will? They will be happy, call it a "rise from the ashes" and that Chrono Trigger was the underdog all contest etc --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
