Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1247
I know you're all being ridiculous but it hurts anyway --- Goddamn Metal Gear Solid 3 |
Looks like the Euro vote is kicking in --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
LeonhartFour posted... time to go into a menu and repair that cut This was so f***ing annoying. MGS3 is a top 10 game EVER without the menu-hopping. Do you even know how happy I was about octocamo? --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
Eh, the menu hopping is pretty overstated. MGS3 is the third best game ever even with it. Oh hey, perfect stall for RE4. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Stall for RE4. Probably too late though. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
I didn't really mind the menu hopping too much since I was going to the menu to pull up CODEC all of the time anyway --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |

I didn't really mind the menu hopping too much since I was going to the menu to pull up CODEC all of the time anyway Good man I can literally spend the first hour of the game on the radio I can spend about 5 seconds on the radio in MGSV SO THIS IS RAVEN TERRITORY --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
http://mynintendonews.com/2015/12/10/you-can-now-follow-pokemon-on-tumblr/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter I don't know if it would have changed anything but...you know.. --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
And now SMRPG gets to bleed for an endless amount of days. --- Hello, I'm Chris! https://media.giphy.com/media/2ZtIpjwFFjLHLNREpCU/giphy.gif |
And a cut. I swear SMRPG is just parodying itself here --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
Cut Really wish this was happening in the MGS match instead since that's both the one where I would be less happy about the current result and the one that kills my bracket --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword (edited 12/9/2015 10:47:04 PM)report |
Well,
it's gonna get ugly because RE4 is at 65% in the UK right now. Not
quite as high as the 70% Oblivion hit in round 1 though. SMRPG is at 60% in the U.S. and Canada though. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Mario RPG trolls RE4 with a 40 vote gain. Also MGS3's lead at 700 now. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif (edited 12/9/2015 11:02:25 PM)report |
I guess it's a little better to know I wouldn't have gotten prizes in a rallyless contest anyway --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
LordoftheMorons posted... I guess it's a little better to know I wouldn't have gotten prizes in a rallyless contest anyway I know that feel, bro. Would've gladly taken 2nd place. If Melee ends up beating FFVII, we're taking double 0 unless by some miracle, SM64 beats Undertale. --- http://www.backloggery.com/whitelens | http://myanimelist.net/profile/WhiteLens http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/5086952/ |
MGS3
> MGS is probably the first upset of the contest that goes with my
preferences. Literally every time something overperformed otherwise it
was against a favorite game of mine. Like what SMRPG is doing against RE4. --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
What a brutal round. CT, Pokemon, and MGS all out. 3 of our 4 strongest games outside our big 3 series. I wish all these surprises had been taken out on Zelda, Final Fantasy, and Mario instead. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET.

Hey
man, I know the feeling! The contest curse against me has been broken!
My favorite games are winning debated matches and not getting killed
anymore! --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
red sox 777 posted... What a brutal round. CT, Pokemon, and MGS all out. 3 of our 4 strongest games outside our big 3 series. Undertale was directly and indirectly responsible for two Mario deaths so far, and soon to be a third! And FF's time is coming tomorrow, too! Zelda's time will come soon enough. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
I am surprised by how much stronger SMRPG is tgan Paper Mario btw. --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
red sox 777 posted... What a brutal round. CT, Pokemon, and MGS all out. 3 of our 4 strongest games outside our big 3 series. Mario shouldn't be on that list. Mario will lose 2 of its top 3 to directly to Undertale and Undertale buried any chance their third had of pulling an upset. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
The_Ctes posted... I am surprised by how much stronger SMRPG is tgan Paper Mario btw. one of the best revelations of the contest tbqh --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
LeonhartFour posted... Hey man, I know the feeling! The contest curse against me has been broken! My favorite games are winning debated matches and not getting killed anymore! The only exception for me so far was Majora managing to beat Super Metroid in the end I think. And uhh, if you wanna count CT> FFX I guess. --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
Man, SMRPG just refuses to fall below 56% here. Impressed by how well it's holding up. I mean, we're still an hour or two from the worst part of the night vote, but it's definitely tanked RE4's night vote enough thus far to survive whatever run it'll make at this. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
I like Paper Mario a lot more D: Probably a direct result of playing it way earlier, but still --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Well, Mario RPG was my first RPG (and probably the first RPG for a lot of people), so it holds a lot of nostalgic value for me. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Like Paper Mario is a top 10 game for me, SMRPG is maybe top 50 --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Maybe
it would have been different if my parents hadn't returned the SNES my
uncle had apparently bought me because it would "cause me to start
failing in school" or whatever --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
If
not for Undertale.... SMW and SMB3 would still be out, slain at the
hands of Pokemon. And Mario 64 is still alive. As bad as tomorrow is
looking, 24 hours more of contest life is still better than none. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
So what does Chrono Cross get on RE4 --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
pjbasis posted... So what does Chrono Cross get on RE4 44.61% right now. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
LeonhartFour posted... red sox 777 posted...What a brutal round. CT, Pokemon, and MGS all out. 3 of our 4 strongest games outside our big 3 series. Do you still think SMB3>RBY? after what RBY put against Undertale? Are you for real? --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
I
mean, Pokemon deserved to get out rallied and lose. It's won almost
every debatable match it has been in for 5 years, many of them with
rather large rallies. It doesn't make it any less brutal for the
fanbase though, I'd imagine. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
So where is this "night vote" anyway? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXkgn3QUA2w --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Results vs Undertale largely mean nothing. Mass Effect 3 is not the second strongest game on the site! --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
Pokemon
won't lose to a Mario game. It's not a big gap, probably just 53/47 or
less, but it is stronger. And it's got too much rally power to drop a
naturally close match. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
The
Euro vote has emphatically NOT arrived yet. This part of the match is
where the north american night vote shines. Europe does not really
start entering the picture till past 3. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
I've heard that story before. Reality didn't quite match: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/5261-character-battle-ix-division-9-final-mega-man-vs-zero-mmx-vs --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
So
Pokemon lost one close match out of how many since 2009? It's not like
one of the Mario games was stronger, and Pokemon even needed a rally.
It's just an insurance policy, and a pretty reliable one --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Team Rocket Elite posted... I've heard that story before. Reality didn't quite match: That was such a great match. I don't even care that much about Mega Man but I was still so invested due to how close it was and the fact that it was the exact opposite of Chrono/Pikachu/Magus. I really enjoy the Pokemon games and think that they're deserving of their strength in games contests, but the actual Pokemon themselves don't really deserve to be near-elites in a characters contest in my mind. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
it's
7:30 here so our day vote won't go into full swing for several hours
yet. Then we'll pummel SMRPG, but I think it'll be hard for RE4 to catch
it. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak PSN ID - Kudaark Steam Name : skaalfa |
SMRPG > Paper Mario makes sense. It's the first, and it's a genuine Squaresoft RPG. Though I do love Paper Mario. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
I do love SMRPG, but I love RE4 more. Sad days. Also, finally one of my upsets is paying off. MGS3 > MGS (well, for now anyway). |
Woah nice stalling from MGS. Lead's too big for it to matter, but I would have been excited two hours ago. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
I
just realized. It would be really really hilarious if somehow Donald
Trump tweeted about the contest. 5.19 million followers on Twitter.
We've just got to convince him that X game is an insidious left-wing
plot! --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
SMRPG's
maximum lead vs. Oblivion happened at 4:10 AM, which was a 1368 vote
lead. SMRPG is currently sitting at a 1351 vote lead right now. If RE4
starts to get cuts on a more consistent basis, it will happen pretty
soon. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Hmmm... So is Mario RPG the favorite next round against MGS3 if these results hold? MGS3 and RE4 have always been really close to each other, but MGS3 seems to be the strongest game in the series now, too, which may or may not have been true in 2010. Is that a strength boost or just an MGS1 deboost? I guess if SMRPG wins by any significant margin, it'd have to be the favorite. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
I think it depends on how close the matches end up, but right now I'm leaning SMRPG. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
No
reason to not heavily favor SMRPG over MGS3. RE4's always been a step
ahead of it and there's absolutely nothing to suggest MGS3 can even
remotely compete other than maybe the Mass Effect 2 match. I figure it'd be a huge moral victory if MGS3 can match RE4's percentage on SMRPG. Not that I'll be voting for it - though I'm tempted given the red sox philosophy of having MGS1/Snake :: Chrono Trigger/Crono end as high as possible in the extrapolated standings. Maybe I'll vote for it if it looks close in the hopes it doesn't get completely crushed by Ocarina and somewhat validates the standing of new games? ...only three days dedicated to a single match, and in all probability one ends up an SFF blowout while the other two are Undertale debacles. --- Goddamn Metal Gear Solid 3 |
