Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1250
I didn't even remember Kratos's 2013 matches until I just now looked them up. I was thinking back on 45% on Charizard in 2010. So yeah, maybe not Kratos. It's a pretty big dropoff after the first 3 though. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
ROUND 5 – DAY 2 – BOTTOM OF BRACKET Match CXXIII: (1) The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time vs. (1) The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Previous Rounds The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 91.03% against Hearthstone 76.89% against Suikoden II 64.96% against Final Fantasy IX 68.18% against Castlevania: Symphony of the Night The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 88.02% against Cave Story 65.45% against Final Fantasy IV 70.58% against Dark Souls 52.39% against The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask Analysis After struggling so hard to defeat Majora’s Mask there isn’t much of a chance for Link to the Past to defeat the strongest Zelda game. The rally spillover last round favoured Majora’s Mask so much that it took the lead for a little while. While the two games aren’t completely connected to the hip it does seem relatively safe to say that Ocarina of Time would get a more favourable performance, not that it needs it. The other main question would be whether Ocarina of Time can SFF Link to the Past. The last time they met was in 2009 and there was heavy SFF though circumstances at the time required it. This time there is less incentive for SFF to occur and for the most part in this contest SFF has been kept to a minimum. This will probably end up looking like FFVII/FFVI where Ocarina of Time will overperform slightly. charmander6000’s Bracket: LoZ: Ocarina of Time > LoZ: Link to the Past charmander6000’s Prediction: LoZ: Ocarina of Time wins, 61.32% - 38.68% Match CXXIV: (9) Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars vs. (3) Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Previous Rounds Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars 54.43% against The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion 57.20% against Grand Theft Auto V 60.74% against Chrono Cross 55.53% against Resident Evil 4 Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater 69.50% against Mother 3 52.03% against BioShock 60.64% against Mass Effect 2 51.86% against Metal Gear Solid Analysis Well this is a bit of a surprising match-up. Super Mario RPG was able to make Resident Evil 4 look weaker than Oblivion while MGS3 went against conventional rankings and defeated MGS. In this match it comes down to whether or not you think Resident Evil 4 is as strong as it was before. I still think Resident Evil 4 is legit and it is Super Mario RPG just being a strong game. The Metal Gear Solid 2/Shadow of the Colossus comparison predicted MGS3/MGS quite well and that assumed a Resident Evil 4 relatively equal to Metal Gear Solid 3. Of course RE4’s other performances place it at around its 2010 strength as well. Rally spillover will probably help Super Mario RPG given the games being rallied. Out of all of the Mario games I didn’t expect this one to be the only one reaching the semi-finals, but here we are. It is kind of funny that this quarter bracket was designed so a non-Nintendo/Square game could win it yet one of the few Nintendo/Square games that was on this side ends up winning it. charmander6000’s Bracket: Metal Gear Solid > Resident Evil 4 charmander6000’s Prediction: Super Mario RPG wins, 55.89% - 44.11% --- BGE3: Today's Matches FFVII > CT, SM64 > Pokemon RBYG Points 195/256 |
Will SM64 end up below Pokemon? --- BGE3: Today's Matches FFVII > CT, SM64 > Pokemon RBYG Points 195/256 |

ExThaNemesis posted... Hylian88 posted...Viviff is not a melee tournament player, he plays smash4. They are not the same scene, and viviff would have pretty much no impact on any sort of melee rally. http://www.ssbwiki.com/Smasher:Hylian You would lose your house pretty easily. I've been going to tournaments since 2003, have made top 32 at multiple nationals, taken tournament sets off some of the best players in the world(tyrant/dojo/lain/etc), etc etc. This was for brawl, but I am also good at melee and certainly better than Viviff as melee is currently the only smash game I play. --- www.twitch.tv/Hylian88 www.twitter.com/Hylian88 |
maybe you should bet part of your house then like maybe let Hylian have the kitchen if he wins --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
In
all of Undertale's matches so far, it has failed to win Canada. The
primary reason for this is Quebec, where Undertale performs much worse
there than any other province. I guess Tumblr doesn't have a very large
Canada demographic and a nearly non-existent Quebec demographic. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Are we assuming Smash tournament results between braggart manchildren are transitive --- Goddamn Metal Gear Solid 3 |
French Canadians don't use Tumblr confirmed |
Karma Hunter posted... Are we assuming Smash tournament results between braggart manchildren are transitive Results are a pretty easy way to ascertain your skill when someone calls you out on it. The problem is Viviff doesn't have any good results so he can't use that defense :3. --- www.twitch.tv/Hylian88 www.twitter.com/Hylian88 |
But are they linear --- Goddamn Metal Gear Solid 3 |
Undertale
does not have a French-language localization yet, nor does it have a
francophone presence in the fandom afaik. I imagine this plays a large
role in making it unknown to Quebec audiences. --- I like this guy - Shiny Mewtwo |

<3 Quebec. Fighting the good fight. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
RPGlord95 posted... Is the game available in French? There are strict laws in Quebec about language. Well, Undertale is a digital-only game, so I doubt Quebec's laws would prevent Undertale from being sold there. Physical copies are a different story, though. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Quebec can't win prizes or play Undertale? What the hell goes on there? --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! Future 2015 Guru Contest runner-up. |
These matches were far more boring than I expected. Hopefully Melee vs Undertale produces something more exciting. |
Quebec can't win prizes or play Undertale? What the hell goes on there? They can have both, it just needs to be in French. --- BGE3: Today's Matches FFVII > CT, SM64 > Pokemon RBYG Points 195/256 |
I'm completely unfamiliar with Steam, so I have no idea if Undertale is available on Steam for those in Quebec. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Haha the French suck so much Just imagine being French (even French-Canadian) for a minute. Jesus christ. --- Such a lust for revenge |
Hylian88 posted... DaruniaTheGoron posted...Like, the Undertale votals were up early for the Pokemon match and now they are down. Probably ends up close but it just peaked early. 3k is about what I expected. The Reddit thread was huge though, I estimate it brought in around 13k. It did have the advantage of going first, as it was up for many hours before the rest of the rally got going. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |

I meant at Brawl/Smash 4. I have played Viviff a bunch and have never even heard of you, probably because you picked the name Hylian like a f***ing giant dork. Viviff would house you, I say that with all confidence. --- "I'll admit that I made one or two sarcastic remarks in this topic, but in all serious I akin Undertale to fascism." -ArgaiRonso |
In
fact since you're new here I bet at least 2/3 b8ers would be able to
take you at Smash 4. Viviff and stingers FOR SURE, and maybe ff6 or pjb. --- "I'll admit that I made one or two sarcastic remarks in this topic, but in all serious I akin Undertale to fascism." -ArgaiRonso |
-LusterSoldier- posted... I'm completely unfamiliar with Steam, so I have no idea if Undertale is available on Steam for those in Quebec. It's only available in English atm so there's likely very little demand in an area that mostly speaks French. |

its_me_okuu posted... It's only available in English atm so there's likely very little demand in an area that mostly speaks French. There are still plenty of people in Quebec that know English well enough to play a game that is only available in English. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |

I'm a regular on Smashboards, and as I main Link in the games I come across posts by Hylian every so often. I think he was involved in the development of Project M (Lueshi rest its soul) and he has a bunch of matches on YouTube. He had a pretty mean Brawl Link in the day, and was one of the drivers of that low tier's meta game along with players like Izaw. I don't think Hylian is one to be trifled with when it comes to Smash. |
hylian's good lol --- I like this guy - Shiny Mewtwo |
MaskedSheik posted... Undertale does not have a French-language localization yet, nor does it have a francophone presence in the fandom afaik. I imagine this plays a large role in making it unknown to Quebec audiences. It might explain it a little bit but at the same time a don't know a single one of my friend (I'm from Québec) who play their game in french. It's true for our parent, but our generation, while not all bilingual, are quite good in english. We listen to movie, TV series and especially video game in english |
huh, good to know, thanks! j'ai étudié le français à la fac mais j'ai jamais voyagé au québec et j'en connais très peu --- I like this guy - Shiny Mewtwo |

The primary reason for this is Quebec, where Undertale performs much worse there than any other province.

But the game itself can (and mostly are) be in english with no translation available |
Well
forgive me for having faith in the B8 Smashers, who are all very
talented. I was defending Viviff against someone I've never heard of. Hylian if you stick around here for a few years I'll include you in the group of people I defend as well. --- "I'll admit that I made one or two sarcastic remarks in this topic, but in all serious I akin Undertale to fascism." -ArgaiRonso |

There's
a lot of English speaking people from Quebec, especially around
Montreal. It also makes sense that there would be a bias for English
speaker Quebecors since this is an English speaking site. --- BGE3: Today's Matches FFVII > CT, SM64 > Pokemon RBYG Points 195/256 |
Mario
did surprisingly well for itself. It kept up with Undertale all day,
gained more votes than FF7 and almost made as many as Pokemon. Good job,
Mr. plumber man. The Undertale rally can't be this lazy for Melee, or we're surely gonna have a BAD TIME. --- FC: 0903-3939-2467 IGN: Weston |
I'm
sure the Undertale ralliers will take the Melee match more seriously,
since Melee has shown that it can rally votes in excess of at least
15000 votes or more. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
ExThaNemesis posted... Well forgive me for having faith in the B8 Smashers, who are all very talented. I was defending Viviff against someone I've never heard of. Haha. I post on B8 pretty much every time there is a contest, though I lurk mostly so I doubt many remember me, but I've been around for awhile. Viviff would certainly beat 99.99% of smashers on gamefaqs in brawl/smash4(there are some good melee players here), but gfaqs isn't a very good skill metric as most of the players are casual(which is perfectly fine :P) so obviously a tournament goer would have an advantage. Edit: Also he would certainly beat me in smash4, as I only entered like one tournament for smash4 before quitting two weeks in. I'm very confident I would win in brawl however, not that it matters anymore as brawl is super dead lol. --- www.twitch.tv/Hylian88 www.twitter.com/Hylian88 (edited 12/11/2015 8:55:11 PM)report |
Why did you end up quitting Smash 4? --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
I guess MGS3 would have a stronger board vote than SMRPG --- BGE3: Today's Matches LoZ: OoT > LoZ: LttP, MGS > RE4 Points 195/288 |
I expect SMRPG to start pullng away once we get close to the freeze. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Undertale
fans have started commenting on the contest videos I made with some
friends on youtube (just to tell us how wrong we were about how the game
would fare). I think more of them have watched than anyone from
GameFAQs. --- Watch me play games! http://www.twitch.tv/lordofdabu |
...board vote wonder or not, this is not a bad start for MGS3. --- Goddamn Metal Gear Solid 3 |
OoT beating ALttP means that my bracket will actually get some points today. Yay. >_> --- Now crack that combination: 27 99 23. |
Around 1/3 of the Undertale pickets had it losing last round Dropped to 27th (despite getting the last 4 wrong) --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
