nopenopenopenop posted... There's a rally war taking place on /v/ right now between SMRPG and MGS3 There's currently a rally thread on the front page of MGS's reddit too. And it still keeps losing updates. |
My
rough x-stats predicted Ocarina of Time winning with 54%... looks like
without the spillover that might be pretty accurate. I didn't actually
believe those numbers, but that might end up being pretty accurate. --- "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." |
Game, Set, Match. --- Video Games are pretty cool. |
This isn't good, is it? |

LeonhartFour posted... Yuri_LowelI posted...Also a link to the past would beat chrono and melee. Lets not kid ourselves. Lttp is about chrono level. Literally using useless 2010 stats. You do all the time and its completely irrelevant to this contest Chrono trigger would never get 65% on 2010 version of ffx with those high natural votes. Ffx dropped off a lot. By your logic ffx was stronger than brawl that was stronger than melee which chrono only got 60 against. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
Link to the Past bringing it to OOT even with spillover! How heroic our hero is. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
ME3 is now higher in X-Stat than Mario 64: ME3: 49.05% http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/6072-best-game-ever-day-6-undertale-vs-mass-effect-3 Mario 64: only 48.67% http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/6172-best-game-ever-day-37-quarterfinal-undertale-vs-super-mario-64 No other games other than Undertale (great game) in Division 3 and 4 has a higher X-stat than ME3. Mass Effect 3 is looking to be the second highest ranked game after the contest is over. --- Commander Shepard: He's a prothean. Urdnot Wrex: Sometimes I'm not sure if the Normandy's a war ship or a traveling freak show. |
Lynx_7 posted... nopenopenopenop posted...There's a rally war taking place on /v/ right now between SMRPG and MGS3 RIP. MGS3 looks like it's done. We really are headed towards a Undertale vs OoT final, huh? I hope this board can at least boost OoT enough so that it stands a chance against a fully powered Undertale rally. |
Melee with FF7 trends lol |
Yuri_LowelI posted... Literally using useless 2010 stats. You do all the time and its completely irrelevant to this contest It's actually predicted a lot of stuff really well! but please feel free to ignore everything that doesn't support your argument don't let facts get in the way of a good argument --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
There's less spillover here than last round, but remember, LTTP rose 5.5% from this point against MM. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Does DKC2 affect SMRPG more for being Nintendo'ish on the SNES, or Goldeneye more for being Rare? Either way, it will take me some time to get used to DKC2 having strength. It did about as well as anyone could ask of it this contest though, and DKC beat Doom despite LoZ:LttP in 2009...gotta give some credit. --- M E N: nominate Metal Man in 20XX! http://i.imgur.com/Dr4NAeq.png |
Well, personally I would have asked it to be better than Banjo and Kazooie =/ --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
I was too busy asking Banjo-Kazooie to beat C:SotN, sorry n00b. --- M E N: nominate Metal Man in 20XX! http://i.imgur.com/Dr4NAeq.png |
LeonhartFour posted... Yuri_LowelI posted...Literally using useless 2010 stats. You do all the time and its completely irrelevant to this contest Not everything. Certainly not matches that involve games that werent in 2010. Also by tour logic lttp would get 52 %on ffx too. See how thats using stats from 2010. Unless you believe lttp is worth 52 on ffx in which case youre deluded as hell. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
HaRRicH posted... Does DKC2 affect SMRPG more for being Nintendo'ish on the SNES, or Goldeneye more for being Rare? I doubt sharing a third party developer really matters that much, especially when you're different genres and on a different system. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
don't be silly leonheart legend of zelda minish cap would LFF dino crisis for sure --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
People
are welcome to pick things against LTTP next contest at their peril.
The MM match is 60/40 without spillover, and even higher without a big
pic advantage for MM. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
I
certainly don't think LTTP comes anywhere close to 65% on FFX. There's
really no reason to believe that based on its performances this contest.
It only managed 65% on FFIV. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
I
really don't think people are going to pick a lot of things against
LttP. I mean, maybe CT, sure? But CT looks stronger. A lot stronger! No
matter how you slice it! (LttP will still win, because this is RallyFAQs) --- Goddamn Metal Gear Solid 3 |
Even
after this contest, what games would people pick over LTTP that
wouldn't have been in consideration beforehand anyway? I guess Melee due
to its newfound rally power, but that's it. LTTP is still quite strong and could beat pretty much every game on the site except OoT given the right circumstances. I think CT clearly outclassed it this contest, but who knows how things will be whenever we have the next Games Contest. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif (edited 12/11/2015 10:12:04 PM)report |
So what do we take away from this result and LttP/MM compared to the old LttP/SM beatdowns? --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword (edited 12/11/2015 10:15:09 PM)report |
Super Metroid and a lot of old SNES classics are apparently a good bit stronger now. After all the adjustments, MMX could end up being worth nearly as much on LTTP as it got on Link's Awakening. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
I
seriously doubt LTTP will gather a rally of significance. The game
came out in 1992, it is about as unralliable as CT. I'd be very
impressed with CT if it could break 55% though. And nervous about
losing. As for things people will pick.....SSBM, RBY, Mario 64, FF7, and FFX. Well, FF7 might be possible, but it has a seriously bad losing streak in close matches. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
But
those are all games people would have been willing to pick over LTTP
before the contest, with the possible exception of Melee. Nothing's
really changed there. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
For our upcoming bonus matches, I would like to propose the following set-up: Day 1 - CT/FFVII, OoT/RBY, SMB3/SMW, SM64/LTTP Day 2 - CT/OoT, FFVII/RBY That's 6 bonus matches over the course of 2 days, with CT/OoT on Day 2 to avoid rally spillover. On day 1, I threw in a heated SMB3/SMW match to decide the strongest Mario game. Based on what we've seen with SNES beasting this contest, I feel pretty good about SMW possibly being the strongest Mario game. I couldn't neglect SM64 here, so I threw it against LTTP. I wonder what you guys think about this set-up? --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
People would pick ffx over lttp pre-contest? Anyway, I probably underrate chrono trigger this year more than almost anyone on board 8 but I'm 99% sure it would beat lttp. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
Whoa I really don't think anyone's gonna pick FFX considering Majora had everything in its corner against LttP and still lost. ...well maybe Leonhart but c'mon the rest of us will know better --- Goddamn Metal Gear Solid 3 |
Huh,
just looked at it and MGS3 is doing really well in North America
compared to SMRPG's past opponents. SMRPG has been at 60% or better in
North America against most of its opponents, but it's only at 55%
against MGS3. And while it's too early to say it'll stay this high, MGS3 is at 70% on SMRPG in the UK right now. Maybe MGS3 could make a run at this. Or maybe the Tumblr spillover favored MGS3 more than we expected and SMRPG will even this out come daytime. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
How do we know that we're getting multiple days of bonus polls? --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Oh, I missed FFX on his list there. At this point, even I wouldn't seriously entertain FFX > LTTP. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
AxemRedRanger posted... How do we know that we're getting multiple days of bonus polls? We don't. We're just being hopeful. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
-LusterSoldier- posted... For our upcoming bonus matches, I would like to propose the following set-up: I really don't like this. RBY in particular is basically guaranteed to pollute surrounding matches with its rallies. --- Goddamn Metal Gear Solid 3 |
We
don't know if we will get multiple days of bonus polls, but I think
Allen would be willing to do something like that. I don't think Allen
would allow more than 2 days of bonus polls, though. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
We don't know if we are getting any bonus polls at all, yet. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
LeonhartFour posted... But those are all games people would have been willing to pick over LTTP before the contest, with the possible exception of Melee. Nothing's really changed there. And this contest should have made people less willing to pick things over LTTP. I mean, a lot of those are completely reasonable based on 2009. SM64 was 200 votes away from winning, FFVII crushed it, etc. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Karma Hunter posted... I really don't like this. RBY in particular is basically guaranteed to pollute surrounding matches with its rallies. It's a f***ing bonus match, so there's no point to get a rally going. We already saw against Undertale that RBY had difficulty getting a rally because a lot of people hate the Gen 1 games. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Well, I still don't trust those Pokemon fans so it's probably best to leave RBY on the sidelines. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
Eh,
I've always considered the 2009 final to be a worthless result for
gauging FFX and LTTP even though it's an extremely favorable comparison
for FFX. Everyone knew what was gonna happen there. Mario 64 seems to be the one outlier for LTTP and CT both. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
-LusterSoldier- posted... so there's no point to get a rally going. Luster please tell me you don't actually believe this --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
And what makes you think a rally might show up in a bonus match? --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Cloud & Sephiroth VS Red & Blue --- Goddamn Metal Gear Solid 3 |
-LusterSoldier- posted... And what makes you think a rally might show up in a bonus match? Because the match doesn't actually have to count for anything for it to matter. We literally had 4chan rally for Battletoads in a random POTD. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Karma Hunter posted... Cloud That wasn't even a rally, at least in the sense of people trying to go on other sites to get votes for the Pokemon Trainers. What we saw near the end of that match was an increase in vote totals from casual GameFAQs users taking notice of the match being close and putting in their votes to kill off Cloud/Sephiroth. Many of these casuals weren't even aware that it was a bonus match. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Link
to the Past vs. Super Mario World feels like something the former
should easily win due to precedent and the hierarchy but their
performances probably aren't far apart. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
-LusterSoldier- posted... For our upcoming bonus matches, I would like to propose the following set-up: I'd like to see CT/FF7, Pokemon/SMW OOT vs winner of CT/FF7, SM64 vs winner of Pokemon/SMW --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
You do see the difference in votals of FF7/Trainers compared to the rest of the RR, right --- Goddamn Metal Gear Solid 3 |
Melee Undertale. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
