GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1238
I
wonder if it's even possible to get CT vs OoT as a bonus match. I kind
of feel like the board would vote for FF7 vs OoT instead since I get the
feeling people still think FF7 is stronger than CT. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
r/gaming would probably only matter if it's the finals and you write it appropriately in a neutral fashion. |
Wanglicious posted... r/gaming would probably get deleted. You can get /v/ to rally with the right mindset. Most of the SMW mini-counterrally was by /v/ until they took notice of the awful posting/gave up |
I also think Allen should just go with his intuition on what the bonus match should be in all honesty |
post it as a FFVI vs FFVII match. then mention CT as an afterthought in the comments people who take interest in the topic title will likely be rpgs fans, so they'd chose CT over smash. |
Bonus
poll should clearly be Mass Effect 3 vs the second place since it's
obviously our strongest contestant after Undertale. /kappa And I don't think /v/ cares much about gamefaqs to rally for a game that isn't a joke or driven by "SJW hate". |
Lynx_7 posted... Bonus poll should clearly be Mass Effect 3 vs the second place since it's obviously our strongest contestant after Undertale. /kappa The pitch matters. Just something with Chrono Trigger front and center will get CT fans to click and by then it's just a matter of voting which is not that hard to get people to do. Everything else is just gravy really. --- Goddamn Chrono Trigger |
VeryInsane posted... I also think Allen should just go with his intuition on what the bonus match should be in all honesty I can't imagine that would be anything but FF7 vs OoT. Even if we have multiple bonus matches, I don't think he will put OoT in more than one. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585.

Seems stupid to have ffvii /oot as a bonus match. Should be chrono trigger v oot. Or chrono v mario 64. Lets do this. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
If CT keeps up this pace, is it still doable? I'm guessing not, right? And if we really see a second wave of rallies like Hyllian said there'd be, then no amounts of walking up slowly and downsmashing is gonna save Chrono. (edited 12/7/2015 3:49:45 PM)report |
Maybe, just maybe, CT can cut for real this time. Time for some BELIEVE --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
ONE THOUSAND VOTE BARRIER BROKEN I believe in CT I really do but I can't trust Melee to just lie down and die here! --- sig pssssssssssst - http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/568795-soccer-challenge |
Lynx_7 posted... If CT keeps up this pace, is it still doable? I'm guessing not, right? I just hope melee gets rallied every round now. Otherwise chrono would have been wasted. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
CT needs to cut an average of 16 votes per update to win. --- sharp. distance. |
Huh, that's two legit cuts in a row. Lead: 990 Number of updates left: 62 Votes cut per update to win: 15.97 Edit: forgot I'm on central time now LOLOLO --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif (edited 12/7/2015 3:52:38 PM)report |
ROUND 4 – DAY 2 – ALL OF DIVISION 3 & 4 Match CXV: (8) Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow/Green vs. (6) Undertale Previous Rounds Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow/Green 68.34% against Tetris 62.67% against Super Mario Bros. 3 78.04% against Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Undertale 50.95% against Mass Effect 3 55.74% against Fallout 3 54.84% against Super Mario World Analysis A lot of people feel that Pokemon would have the best chance at defeating Undertale and while I believe this I don’t think it will be enough. The idea is that since Pokemon is so loved on Tumblr it could generate enough backfire votes which it can then use its own strength and some rallies to counter. The issue is this has become more than a rally for Undertale. Sure a lot of them are voting for Undertale because they think it is a great game, but a lot of people are just voting to see GameFAQs mad which means it no longer matters what the opponent is. In a fair match Pokemon RBYG is at around the same strength as Super Mario World so it is not going to add much plus it will make to deal with another round of rallying where we might see this poll easily break 100k votes. On the other side Pokemon is a lot easier to rally for, there are many fan sites and Pokemon in general just has more hard-core fans. Funny enough the best place to rally for Pokemon RBYG would probably be Tumblr. charmander6000’s Bracket: Pokemon RBYG > Super Mario World charmander6000’s Prediction: Undertale wins, 55.13% - 44.87% Match CXVI: (1) The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim vs. (3) Super Mario 64 Previous Rounds The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 66.62% against Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 59.05% against GoldenEye 007 50.64% against Metroid Prime Super Mario 64 80.04% against Mario Kart 8 66.23% against Final Fantasy Tactics 56.87% against The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Analysis In a normal match Super Mario 64 should probably win this match. Even if you want to blame SFF against Twilight Princess it still looked better than what Skyrim did against Metroid Prime, even if you think Metroid Prime is a lot stronger now. This match would have been used to see if it did indeed SFF Twilight Princess which can then give us an idea of what strength to expect out of Super Mario 64. However with potentially three times more votes than what we were getting at the beginning of the contest our opinion probably won’t matter. I feel Tumblr will favour Mario more than Skyrim. Sure SMB3 and SMW haven’t looked the greatest, but that was because they were stuck with some of the worst opponents like Pokemon, Animal Crossing and of course Undertale, but when they were against other opponents they looked really good. It also helps that Skyrim hasn’t looked too good with the spillover in the last three rounds. charmander6000’s Bracket: Super Mario 64 > TESV: Skyrim charmander6000’s Prediction: Super Mario 64 wins, 63.25% - 36.75% --- BGE3: Today's Matches FFX > SSBM, FFVII > FFVI Points 163/192 |

Three cuts in a row, we have a trend. Chrono Trigger giving us false hope. --- Hello, I'm Chris! https://media.giphy.com/media/2ZtIpjwFFjLHLNREpCU/giphy.gif |
Good to see Melee putting CT in it's place. --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/330/958/a5b.gif |
false hope is still hope --- Goddamn Chrono Trigger |
It's like Crono vs. Mario all over again!! Chrono Trigger is finally making a legit comeback. But, will it be enough.... --- Yay - Raytan is the guru champion of awesomeness. |
Ex-Kefiroth posted... Yuri_LowelI posted...Lynx_7 posted...If CT keeps up this pace, is it still doable? I'm guessing not, right? If undertale gets stronger sure. If were talking about the undertale that took down smw then melee wins because it got an exra15k votes. Undertales natural strength is no way near melee. Im talking pure votals --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |

This isn't remotely close to over. --- Get the X out. Vinateri was using his god powers on the Pats and then was like "Wait I'm a Colt now lol" and now you have it. |
50.05% win incoming? --- 2002: Mario | 53831 | 50.05% | Crono | 53716 | 49.95% | lead of 115 | 2003: Mario | 66571 | 50.05% | Crono | 66434 | 49.95% | lead of 137 | |
63% update for CT. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
...wut --- Goddamn Chrono Trigger |
42 vote cut hahaha! Let's give it a shot! --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Melee fell off a cliff that update, for the record. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
CT really showing some life! o_o --- sharp. distance. |
Melee's vote intake fell to 59 that update. I guess the rally is finally losing steam. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. (edited 12/7/2015 4:01:42 PM)report |
You
know, even though SSBM would give me points in my bracket, I feel that
Chrono Trigger winning would give FFVII a better chance next round. It
seem like Tumblr would favor SSBM > FFVII > CT and I need FFVII to
pull off some sort of miracle. So, GO CHRONO TRIGGER!!! --- Yay - Raytan is the guru champion of awesomeness. |
Yeah this is over. Rallies have allllllways gotten lazy while winning. Melee not building a decent lead ruined it. --- Get the X out. Vinateri was using his god powers on the Pats and then was like "Wait I'm a Colt now lol" and now you have it. |
LeonhartFour posted... Based on the last 30 minutes, Melee wins by 296. With a 40 cut? CT looks like it wins by 200 or so. --- Get the X out. Vinateri was using his god powers on the Pats and then was like "Wait I'm a Colt now lol" and now you have it. |
Was that without that last update Leon? I'm getting a CT win by 339 with that update. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
This
isn't remotely close to over. There's still 931 votes left to cut and
I'm sure Melee will get a 'shocking' power boost of it ends up close. Still. False hope is good hope. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. (edited 12/7/2015 4:04:01 PM)report |
Well, I'm just counting from the first CT cut, which was 30 minutes ago. The first couple of cuts have been very minimal. Based on the last 20 minutes, when the first substantial cut happened, Chrono Trigger wins by 734. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Is there a third party site to keep track of how much CT is cutting with each update? |

Man
CT is so strong that even with multiple rallies for Melee and not one
for CT, Melee can barely win? When CT became that strong? --- Why do we exist?What happens when we stop existing? 124 Gurus were better than me in BGE 2015 contest! |
Naturally, the update right after CT goes crazy, Melee's vote intake shoots back up --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
#SaveCrono --- Formerly known as Dilated Chemist |
Melee went back up and CT dropped off a bit. CT's biggest issue is going to be the dwindling vote totals as the match draws near the end. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
The black wind begins to blow... Go on, give me your best shot... If you're prepared for the void! --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
