GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1256
Look at that difference it just goes to show how people just vote for nintendo, regardless of the quality of the game Once again; you deserve undertale --- FFX-3 teaser: http://abload.de/img/kciksbombttsvx.gif |

Oot has lost a step and undertale has been bandwagoned on GameFAQs. Yes round 1 it would have been 75-25 but at this point it'll probably be more like 60-40 --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |

LeonhartFour posted... Oblivion didn't finish that far behind RE4 and MGS3 in 2009 and it got almost 44% on Wind Waker. That is exactly what I think at least among casual fans of the series, and hardcore fans always preferred morrowind. This is mostly anecdotal though. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
I
don't think Zelda has a nonzero chance mostly because of what link did
with Draven. But undertale is setting records. And undertale voters
clearly liked Pokemon and smash Bros (spillover in previous rounds) and
it still rolled over them. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
DaruniaTheGoron posted... I don't think Zelda has a nonzero chance mostly because of what link did with Draven. I'm really not getting the feeling that people here are ready to mobilize for Ocarina of Time the same way they were for Link, though. It's seriously starting to feel that even a lot of board regulars are fine with Undertale rolling over Zelda at this point. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
If Undertale wins it will be in its usual range, meaning around 52%. --- Why do we exist?What happens when we stop existing? 124 Gurus were better than me in BGE 2015 contest! But the best of all was DpObliVion! Congrats! |
Yeah,
there's no sense of collective effort here to support Link like against
Draven. It's not going to be as easy to rally Zelda on the fly like it
was Melee. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |
You
guys were right about Undertale. The nature of its rally led me to
believe it'd meet stiff resistance from RBY and if it makes that far,
get curb stomped by oot. But Undertale's rally power has proven to be
highly elastic to say the least. Its 2-5% margin of victory is no
coincidence. I'm not totally counting out oot, but I doubt it can get
rallied like Link. |
The
morale factor is real. Draven and Undertale broke gamefaqs' spirit.
Also helps that Undertale is basically uncounterable since it has
developed an immediate comeback quirk. Too stronk. Link will come to town and the people are waiting for him with torches and pitchforks. All hail Undetale, the new king. Also if one of the blogs i messaged actually posts a rally I'm taking credit for that :P |
On unrelated note When is OOT going to stop rising what the f*** --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |

Too stronk. Undertale is much worse than Draven At least we had hopes against Draven, but whenever we had any chance of beating Undertale...it acted like the wounded animal it is and made a comeback It f***ing came back from 7500 votes againt Pokemon for f*** sake It's match had the highest amount of votes in 1vs1 format and won it Not sure how but this is stronger than Draven A indie game released 2 months ago stronger than a character from the most popular video game in the world which has 20k people online at any given time at the subreddit --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
I
don't think Undertale will blow OoT out simply because it always seems
to have just enough votes to win. Like it'll hover around 51-52% despite
the fact that the Melee match should have it winning huge. It'll be the most deceptive "close" match in that we'll all know that if OoT showed any signs of life Undertale would just pull away again like nothing happened. which will of course lead to "if oot just tried a little harder!" which will be... great, just great. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
BTW,
I'm really starting to think we should have had something really strong
in the bottom quarter of the bracket. We really shouldn't be seeing a
doubling in the semifinals. To be fair SMRPG would probably be doing a bit better than FFIX if there was no SFF. The way the bracket was made was for the number two game outside of Zelda to be decided on the top half. Unsurprisingly that caused a strength drain in the rest of the bracket. It was still a greatly constructed bracket though I wouldn't have a problem if we added more 15-30 strength games in the bottom quarter. Imagine switching KH2/MGS4 with FO:NV/BioShock Infinite or switching FFIX/KH with RDR/Bayonetta, we could have made even more crazier matches. Of course hindsight is 20/20. --- BGE3: Today's Matches LoZ: OoT > MGS Points 211/352 |
I
think Metal Gear was supposed to fill the role of "something really
strong in the bottom quarter" after Snake's run in 2013 tbh Allen didn't get it right, but I can see the logic |
Remember
how we used to attribute Samus's popularity to Smash Bros. and
character design? Those things are probably a big part of Snake's
popularity too, plus maybe him being an iconic/easily
recognizable/"important" character. That being said, I find it kinda funny that Zelda fans are accused of being drones considering it's more likely that Metal Gear Solid 1/2/3(/4?) all seem to be not far from each other strength-wise, and same for Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne. But yeah, as for that, the bottom quarter of the bracket literally had games like Metal Gear Solid 1-3, Resident Evil 4, Shadow of the Colossus, and Mass Effect 2, and heck if you want to extend it to things that have been proven not to be this site's cup of tea then you can bring in stuff like BioShock, GTA: San Andreas, Red Dead Redemption, World of Warcraft, and StarCraft. Hardly the bracketmaker's fault that this site is so in love with RPGs, old games, and Nintendo/Square that freaking Super Mario RPG beat them all. It's pretty hilarious to think Mario RPG lost to GOLDENEYE last time we saw it after seeing their respective performances this contest. Mario might break 60% on Bond now! RE4 is probably a bit weaker, which could explain Leon doing worse against a Gordon Freeman who hasn't had a new game in ages than he did against a Gordon fresh off of Half-Life 2 (especially considering how that game didn't exactly look great this contest) and then rolling over and dying against Cloud and Squirtle. Just to ask, did RE4 outperform x-stat expectations against Paper Mario? Also, just for the heck of it, does Wind Waker or Metroid Prime win the entire bottom quarter of the bracket if they're there? And what happens to Snake and Mega Man in the next contest, now that MGSV/SSB4 hype has worn off? Regardless of all the nonsense that has happened towards the end, I'm still very glad we held this contest and really enjoyed it while it lasted, at least for the most part. I hope Undertale hasn't completely spoiled it for most of us. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil (edited 12/14/2015 7:26:06 AM)report |
Maybe oot will have a chance if we all agree to hold our votes till the end? It needs a massive sneak attack to win. I'm also in some huge Zelda fangroups so I'm going to message the admins to sticky. I'm also going to tap the smashbros groups I posted in for revenge on Undertale. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
LinkMarioSamus posted... Just for the heck of it, does Wind Waker or Metroid Prime win the entire bottom quarter of the bracket if they're there? Any moderately strong Nintendo game does. --- Warning: I am a satirical person and don't care for other's sensitivities. If you have a problem with this, please block me and go away. |

Vayu_The_End posted... LinkMarioSamus posted...Just for the heck of it, does Wind Waker or Metroid Prime win the entire bottom quarter of the bracket if they're there? Picking a game that once upon a time lost to Vice City over Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil 4, oh my. I guess that means Skyrim wins it? Heck, does Kingdom Hearts II do it? --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil (edited 12/14/2015 7:27:26 AM)report |
DaruniaTheGoron posted... Maybe oot will have a chance if we all agree to hold our votes till the end? It needs a massive sneak attack to win. Lol, this would be a hilarious sight. If you could manage to rally 5000 people to wait until the last 5 minutes of the poll, it would be the greatest moment on Gamefaqs of ALL TIME. ALL TIME! Someone start working on this!! --- Yay - DpObliVion is the guru champion of awesomeness. |
Undertale fans will just do the same thing if they see us planning it --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
DaruniaTheGoron posted... Undertale fans will just do the same thing if they see us planning it Depending on the organization and with high enough votals, there's nothing they could do. If you save it for the last 15min anyway. The danger is that if you hold back votes then UT will be far enough ahead that it won't matter. --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
I'm going to post today's match on the groups to prime them for the final --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
For a semifinal match this is boring. That is what happens when one game is so strong. --- Why do we exist?What happens when we stop existing? 124 Gurus were better than me in BGE 2015 contest! But the best of all was DpObliVion! Congrats! |
Safer_777 posted... For a semifinal match this is boring. That is what happens when one game is so strong. To be fair, Melee Undertale might have been a lot closer, but after Melee made it's huge push and failed, it was pretty much just as over, even if there was only 1% difference. |

Has Allen still not signed on yet? Still nothing at least affirming that yesterday was legit? --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
I don't believe so, no. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
Nanis23 posted... http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/2453-tournament-semifinal-the-legend-of-zelda-vs-metal-gear To be fair, literally everything but Mario got blown the f*** away by Zelda and Final Fantasy in that contest. I wouldn't be surprised if the Series contest was the true genesis for the 'Zelda and Final Fantasy always win' sentiment on this site, moreso than even Link and Cloud's performances in Character Battles. Seriously, Mega Man got 25% on Final Fantasy. Metroid got 15% on Zelda. SFF or not, that's insanity. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
Maybe we shoukd have a ballot to decide the bracket next time. SBAllen could do it live over Twitch. --- Arcvalons really is a genius.-kamikazetomato. Voice of Myself. |
It'd be cool if he released a beta bracket and let us make suggestions to improve it. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |
It
really doesn't matter what you do. There won't be enough backfire in
the Undertale rally to matter. Those people are the biggest drones to
ever visit this website, by far. Much more than even the Zelda fans. --- "I'll admit that I made one or two sarcastic remarks in this topic, but in all serious I akin Undertale to fascism." -ArgaiRonso |
Nanis23 posted... Safer_777 posted...For a semifinal match this is boring. That is what happens when one game is so strong. Well actually looking at it now again, those 4-ways are 65% for the winner against second place, so they are not worse But this makes this match the third highest semifinals beatdown we ever had, and if OOT will keep increasing it might even be higher than Link-Mega Man (67.61-32.39) --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 (edited 12/14/2015 8:59:51 AM)report |

It'd be cool if he released a beta bracket and let us make suggestions to improve it. The bracket was well made though, assuming seeding can't be changed I would have likely only made a few changes pre-contest. --- BGE3: Today's Matches LoZ: OoT > MGS Points 211/352 |
I think putting Mario Kart 8 against Mario 64 was evil Should have given that game a chance --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
I
agree MK8 and Tetris should have been given better places, outside of
unwinnable first round matches the only "wasted" game was Pokemon GSC. --- BGE3: Today's Matches LoZ: OoT > MGS Points 211/352 |
charmander6000 posted... I agree MK8 and Tetris should have been given better places, outside of unwinnable first round matches the only "wasted" game was Pokemon GSC. And Mass Effect 3 . Litteraly the strongest vs the second strongest in round 1. Allen why ? (edited 12/14/2015 9:02:47 AM)report |
Oh Allen XD SBAllen posted... Undertale isn't vote stuffing. The biggest attempted vote stuff yesterday was a guy who used a bot to create 643 accounts and vote... for SSBM. He, like all other cheaters, were easily caught and their votes ignored. I believe people called it. Well, not a 2:1 ratio but yeah --- http://i.imgur.com/yrqRzHJ.gif (edited 12/14/2015 9:11:54 AM)report |
BK_Sheikah00 posted... Oh Allen XD I thought that the whole "Allen will say he found a vote stuffing...for <insert loser here> was a joke that stopped being funny years ago And yet.. --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
Well that explains the ridiculous number of newly created accounts that day Luster mentioned! --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
And why does creating accounts matter? You can vote without an account, you just need a different IP address --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
Nanis23 posted... And why does creating accounts matter? Because most obvious proxies are blocked and switching ip isn't always possible ( or is pretty slow). So I guess they want for the very easy way of making 600 accounts for the same ip. (edited 12/14/2015 9:21:12 AM)report |

Nanis23 posted... Averia posted...Nanis23 posted...And why does creating accounts matter? I'm assuming it was some desperation bot written in 30 minutes after seeing they were being out rallied by Undertale (of all things). |
