GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1258 - Papyrus in Smash Bros Edition!
would the SNES be stronger than LoZ (we shouldn't ever have a Console Contest) --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif What DpOblivion did to me in the Guru Contest, in GIF form |
Nanis23 posted... So Where is Kaz that said it would be close Sup. I did say it'd either be close or we'd get close to breaking 200k. Still got most of a day left before you can rub it in! (And if I we fall well short of 200k, please do so. It'll show how much I know!) --- Remember when you were young? No longer bearing the mark of Kan. I'm a new man now. |
red sox 777 posted... Karma Hunter posted...And also, I hate to say it because it sounds so counterintuitive, but... I'd attribute OoT's vote total to it being a massively hyped finals match where it's receiving a fair amount of backfire votes from Undertale rallying. Other than that, it's not impressive at all on a relative scale compared to Link. Link's stronger. --- Welcome to the League of Antivotes. |
OoT
will make this look better. I don't know what the standards are for
"close" but it'll be completely artificial because this will never be
close. I don't know where votals have us on pace now though. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
UltimaterializerX posted... LeonhartFour posted...UltimaterializerX posted...Wait why are we adjusting stats? Undertale matches are their own thing for sure but most matches that were not affected by SSBM or Undertale rallying were pieces of the same puzzle. The detailed analysis still needs to be done by my high level feeling is this contest largely fell in line with GotD stats. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
I don't think we need to worry too much about contest format, or even what type of contest it is. We just need to have them more often. No one cares about Undertale doing this thing if the last Games Contest hadn't been in 2009. Now that we have a good format to re-use and Allen isn't ready to murder everyone by the end of this contest, I think we're set. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Which
is to say, I think in a hypothetical Link/Undertale match Undertale
would be doing worse than this, assuming you could run it in a
theoretical vacuum where people aren't just being confused that Link is
fighting a video game --- Welcome to the League of Antivotes. |
We're
gonna fall behind Melee/Undertale pretty soon, so we won't get anywhere
near 200,000 unless OoT somehow gets close and forces Undertale to
rebury it (it won't) --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif What DpOblivion did to me in the Guru Contest, in GIF form |
Actually, OoT's vote intake is pretty insane given the lack of any rallies (that I know of) explicitly for him. Guess we have a real example of BACKFIRE --- Ralliers' determination can't even hold a birthday candle to the blazing flame of DpOblivion's winning spirit! |

Yeah this format is godly. Multi-matches for most rounds is too good. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest Congrats to DpOblivion in the guru! |
Team Rocket Elite posted... UltimaterializerX posted...LeonhartFour posted...UltimaterializerX posted...Wait why are we adjusting stats? This contest was: 1. GotD results are almost exactly the same 2. SNES stronger, Chrono Trigger especially stronger 3. FF7/OoT weaker You've got some weird stuff like FF9 boosting but overall, that was it. The contest results were very easy to see coming once you figured out what the 'trend' of it all was. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
A 7000+ vote lead. My god. This really was a Genocide run, and OoT truly is the Asgore of it. It's too bad we can't get UT vs LoL. |
KamikazePotato posted... I don't think we need to worry too much about contest format, or even what type of contest it is. Eh, CJayC and Allen have always been reluctant to run general games contests with any frequency because it waters down the concept of "Best Game Ever" if you have them all the time. Just change the title of the contest but whatever. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif What DpOblivion did to me in the Guru Contest, in GIF form |
UltimaterializerX posted... Yeah this format is godly. Multi-matches for most rounds is too good. Stop this foolishness --- Welcome to the League of Antivotes. |
Today's
match is the first time that Undertale is actually winning in Canada.
However, Quebec continues to defy the establishment by not supporting
Undertale. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as DpObliVion, Guru Champ! |
Multi-matches
per day has its issues, but its the best format we've got. I see no
reason to ditch it. I'm not sitting through anymore 24 hour fodder
blowout matches after this. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Yeah, 24 hour multi-matches is better than 12 hour matches, in my opinion. Just know when to cut back (which has always been Allen's problem. He went to the trouble of upscaling mid-contest, in fact). --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif What DpOblivion did to me in the Guru Contest, in GIF form |

Guess no one's trashing Gamefaqs in French! --- Ralliers' determination can't even hold a birthday candle to the blazing flame of DpOblivion's winning spirit! |
I think ideally you'd want two matches per round even in the early rounds, and scale back to 1v1 sooner 4 was kinda too much but spending 24 hours on a single fodder match is kind of a plod. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Karma Hunter posted... UltimaterializerX posted...Yeah this format is godly. Multi-matches for most rounds is too good. 12 hour matches f***ing suck and you know it. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest Congrats to DpOblivion in the guru! |
We should have multi-matches. We should in no way make most of the contest multi-matches like this year. Too many showdowns were polluted or outright ruined to begin with. We got exactly three one poll a day matches this year, and two were blowouts well in excess of 60/40 (so far). --- Welcome to the League of Antivotes. |
Undertale starting to leave OoT in the dust. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif What DpOblivion did to me in the Guru Contest, in GIF form |
Lopen posted... I think ideally you'd want two matches per round even in the early rounds, and scale back to 1v1 sooner 12 hour matches, 2 matches at a time? --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! DpObliVion is the new greatone. Congratulations to our Guru overlord. |

I think the Round 1: 4, Rounds 2 and 3: 2 idea was good. Wouldn't complain with Round 1 being 2 though. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
God, no 12 hour matches. Those were only okay because it meant we didn't have single 24 hour ones all contest. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. (edited 12/14/2015 10:57:34 PM)report |
LeonhartFour posted... Undertale starting to leave OoT in the dust. Reddit isn't down anymore is why. This match is going to get very, very ugly. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest Congrats to DpOblivion in the guru! |
Karma Hunter posted... We should have multi-matches. We should in no way make most of the contest multi-matches like this year. Too many showdowns were polluted or outright ruined to begin with. Well, like I said, Allen never knows when to cut back. We only got 24 hour matches in 2010 in the semis for both contests. and then Allen gave us 24 hour matches after round 1 for Rivalry Rumble which somehow became the worst of both worlds --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif What DpOblivion did to me in the Guru Contest, in GIF form |
12 hour matches. 4 matches a time. 4 ways. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |

Team Rocket Elite posted... 12 hour matches. 4 matches a time. 4 ways. 4 way rivalries --- Ralliers' determination can't even hold a birthday candle to the blazing flame of DpOblivion's winning spirit! |
Well maybe 4 the first round, 2 the second round. Slow down after that though for sure. Could not breathe this contest. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Team Rocket Elite posted... 12 hour matches. 4 matches a time. 4 ways. The thought of 16 games crammed onto the front page amuses me a little bit. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! DpObliVion is the new greatone. Congratulations to our Guru overlord. |
LordoftheMorons posted... Team Rocket Elite posted...12 hour matches. 4 matches a time. 4 ways. 512 entries. None of them are Mario vs Sonic. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
Still waiting on that Female Villains Contest. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
What contest do y'all want to see in the next two years? Games, Series, Characters, Rivalry, or a new branch? I wouldn't mind Series or Rivalry again |
I
mean, ideally R3 and on things should have been winnowed down to a vast
majority of theoretically killer matches, right? I mean, of course
you'll get Link killing a near-elite wasting a day but f*** we wasted a
day on Ocarina/SMRPG almost anything is better than that. --- Welcome to the League of Antivotes. |

nopenopenopenop posted... I wouldn't mind Series or Rivalry again yes the only two contests where multiple people got perfect brackets let's do those again --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif What DpOblivion did to me in the Guru Contest, in GIF form |
For
the next Character Battle , there ought to be a champion's bracket or
something. Maybe the a champion can run that bracket as a sort of Elite
Four. --- Arcvalons really is a genius.-kamikazetomato. Voice of Myself. |
Undertale by the hour: 1:00 | 62.57% 2:00 | 63.25% Undertale......goes up the second hour. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
I wouldn't mind Series again as long as it was a 'break' contest. But since we'll be lucky to get 1 a year at this point, no. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Team Rocket Elite posted... LordoftheMorons posted...Team Rocket Elite posted...12 hour matches. 4 matches a time. 4 ways. Were there even 512 rivalries nominated for that godawful contest? --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! DpObliVion is the new greatone. Congratulations to our Guru overlord. |
Arcvalons posted... For the next Character Battle , there ought to be a champion's bracket or something. Maybe the a champion can run that bracket as a sort of Elite Four. We've done that before. And really Link is the only one who has a case for being removed at this point. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
Arcvalons posted... For the next Character Battle , there ought to be a champion's bracket or something. Maybe the a champion can run that bracket as a sort of Elite Four. maybe we could do a Battle Royal or something Link Cloud Sephiroth Mario Samus L-Block Draven Who's ready for THIS --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif What DpOblivion did to me in the Guru Contest, in GIF form |
LeonhartFour posted... nopenopenopenop posted...I wouldn't mind Series or Rivalry again I highly doubt Series in modern GFAQs contests would result in such an outcome again Rivalry might. |
