GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1261
ZFS posted... Also, I think makes me feel really good about SMW being the strongest Mario. Today shouldn't mean much in terms of implications. We have more non-regulars than regulars. I'm not at all convinced RBY is stronger than SMW or SM64, let alone the #3 game. And if you think RBY has top 3 potential due to rallies - what about Melee? I think in a late round match, Melee has more reliable rally ability than RBY. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Also Mario RPG is going to win the day vote against Melee. That's how bad that Euro vote is. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif What DpOblivion did to me in the Guru Contest, in GIF form |
Has anybody worked out what %age of votes were registered based on Allen's numbers? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
also what the heck OoT is beating FFVII in Europe too? FFVII what happened to you --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif What DpOblivion did to me in the Guru Contest, in GIF form |
creativename posted... Has anybody worked out what %age of votes were registered based on Allen's numbers? Allen said in that topic that approximately 1/3 of votes come from registered users. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif What DpOblivion did to me in the Guru Contest, in GIF form |
LeonhartFour posted... Also, FFIX almost certainly overperformed on OoT, but that shouldn't be too surprising. Suikoden II did, too. SOTN might have, too, but it was probably balanced out by the spillover. Whatever anti-voting OoT got is thrown out the window once FFVII enters the picture. I really don't like the anti-voting excuse we keep throwing around. When you get consistently antivoted, it means you're weaker. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
LeonhartFour posted... also what the heck OoT is beating FFVII in Europe too? Cloud saw Link getting his s*** kicked in by Undertale. He decided he wanted in. Little did he know, losing would only modivate him further. Cloud... He wasn't ready... --- Warning: I am a satirical person and don't care for other's sensitivities.

KamikazePotato posted... I really don't like the anti-voting excuse we keep throwing around. When you get consistently antivoted, it means you're weaker. Except when you face the top competition. We saw it with Cloud against Link. By all rights, Link should have smashed Cloud harder than he did in 2010, and...he didn't. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif What DpOblivion did to me in the Guru Contest, in GIF form |
I wonder if the Remake will be it's own game. In nominations, the RE remake was the same game right? With FF7 being episodic, and a totally different combat system it's probably not the same game for nominations. Might be some controversy about this. Will help Cloud and Seph if it's a separate game, but not do anything for FF7. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
I
just think FF7/OOT is unique. nothing on this website resonates like
that matchup. I mean, did you see Nomura's Cloud/Link art yesterday?
those two are forever linked. we can vote CT and RBY over them, or
Undertale, but at the end of the day, FF7 and OOT are our two biggest
games. it's been that way for over a decade and will always be that way. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |

It's mostly intrinsic strength if you only do your best vs. FF7 or with SFF. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
creativename posted... I wonder if the Remake will be it's own game. When it comes out, the remake is definitely going to be considered a different game. This isn't just a mere enhanced port like OOT 3D was, they're making huge changes to the game. But until then, FF7 is going to be taking the piss for FF7R's bad press. --- Warning: I am a satirical person and don't care for other's sensitivities.

FFVIIR for GOTD 2 --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif What DpOblivion did to me in the Guru Contest, in GIF form |
And
while FF9 may have overperformed a bit for whatever reason, it's
impossible to ignore that CT did better against FFX than OoT did against
FF9. OoT has two total good results - Hearthstone, and a heavily skewed
bonus poll. Its looked weaker than CT in every single round of the
tournament. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. (edited 12/16/2015 8:10:32 AM)report |
LeonhartFour posted... FFVIIR for GOTD 2 It will probably be mid card. Most here will probably never get it. Not so high playrate and it may get anti voted even by FF7 fans! --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
LeonhartFour posted... Yeah, RE4 was my first thought for a base for the bottom quarter of the bracket. It seemed pretty stable from GOTD. Very. (Can I again express my disbelief that 61% of casuals and 43% of gurus got that match wrong? Because that match really seemed like it should've been obvious.) --- FC 5026-4424-6331 Congratulations to BGE3 Guru Champion DpOblivion |
are we calling a 51/49 match obvious is that what we're doing in here --- http://i.imgur.com/RHvCiY3.png |

creativename posted... ZFS posted...Also, I think makes me feel really good about SMW being the strongest Mario. Rallies aside, Pokemon is CLEARLY a step above the 3 Mario games. I would also wager that SMB3/World are a step above 64 as well. I still take Pokemon to the semifinals if we limit the contest to registered users. --- DpObliVion, my hat is off to you. Welcome to the Guru Champions Club lol xstats |
What
in everyone's opinion was the Board 8 embarassment of the contest?
Super Metroid/SMG has my vote, I don't remember the exact number, but
I'm pretty sure less than 20% of the Guru had Metroid there. --- DpObliVion, my hat is off to you. Welcome to the Guru Champions Club lol xstats |
That's
probably my pick, I was surprised Metroid was such an underdog. SNES vs
Wii era Nintendo; that is a 100% win rate for old Ninty. There is not a
single Wii game that comes close to its SNES counterpart. --- http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
Eh, I'd go with a quarter of B8 picking Mario Maker to win its fourpack. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif What DpOblivion did to me in the Guru Contest, in GIF form |
http://thengamer.com/guru/stats.php?match=87 Not quite as bad as you thought but still pretty bad! Chrono Trigger/FFX also deserves special note for being the worst loss a guru favorite has ever suffered. And it wasn't even a toss-up in the guru but a 59-40 split in FFX's favor, AND it's not a match that the casuals particularly struggled with - sitewide, Chrono Trigger had a 57.09% prediction percentage. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO DpObliVion NO PEACE] |
Actually, yeah, FFX/CT is probably it. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif What DpOblivion did to me in the Guru Contest, in GIF form |
I'd
vote for CT vs FFX, it was actually shocking to see B8 siding with FFX.
I picked CT to win and never looked back, didn't even doubt my pick
once even though the majority of the board was going with FFX. edit- didn't see AxemRedRanger's post, but yeah, what he said basically. --- Congratulations to DpObliVion, the 2k15 BGE Guru champ! (edited 12/16/2015 9:39:44 AM)report |
So have we arrived at a consensus list of adjustments for rallying and spillover? SMW=SM64=SMB3 at um, 47.50% on RBY? I'd say SMW>=SM64>SMB3 but being conservative in adjusting. Melee at 35-37% on CT Melee at 43% on FF7 CT=50ish% on OoT? And for SFF FF6 a couple points higher on FF7 SMRPG higher on OoT --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
CaptainOfCrush posted... That's probably my pick, I was surprised Metroid was such an underdog. SNES vs Wii era Nintendo; that is a 100% win rate for old Ninty. There is not a single Wii game that comes close to its SNES counterpart. It was because of how badly Samus and her games have typically done when facing Mario/Link and their games. Plus us assuming Galaxy got a lot more respect than it actually does. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
Well let's just kick Mario around I see --- satoru iwata (edited 12/16/2015 10:32:05 AM)report |
Mario hasn't looked that good in a while! --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif What DpOblivion did to me in the Guru Contest, in GIF form |
Mario
got screwed this contest. The big three mario games were all
rally-killed. I very much doubt pokemon would have run through all
three. --- http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
This
is why everyone is gonna be shocked when Mario World has a chance to
not get caught in between rally central! People setting it as equal to
Mario 3 are in for a surprise! --- satoru iwata |
LeonhartFour posted... Mario hasn't looked that good in a while! He hasn't looked good, period |

During a time when GTA5 holds strong, FF9 looks good, every other 90s RPG product impresses, why not FF8! besides this anti-Mario campaign makes no sense Mario RPG was in the semifinal come on now --- satoru iwata |
every result has validated FFVIII's and FFX's strengths get out FFIX --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif What DpOblivion did to me in the Guru Contest, in GIF form |
Mario
World got the highest percentage against Undertale among registered
users of any game. I could believe it's the strongest Mario game. But
this result is reoccurring should the match happen again: Division 16 Semifinals: Chrono Trigger vs. Super Mario World Chrono Trigger 59.01% 45047 Super Mario World 40.99% 31294 TOTAL VOTES 76341 Get dunked on. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Living in a dream red sox Mario World tops CT 50.05 to 49.95 --- satoru iwata |
ZFS posted... Living in a dream red sox if you said this 6 weeks ago it would have been a reasonable prediction now it's a bunch of lol --- http://i.imgur.com/RHvCiY3.png |
SMG > SM was probably the worst guru choice considering only 22% had Super Metroid. At least Chrono Trigger had 39%. A shout out goes to Persona 3 > Dragon Quest VIII. 17% for the x-stat favourite? --- Congrats to DpObliVion for winning the guru. |
Undertale Rating Update: http://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/180989-undertale/stats It's gone all the way down to 4.25 from 4.58 before the Super Mario World match. 10.9% (127/1165) of its current raters have given it the lowest possible score of 0.5. We're rapidly approaching Shadow Dragon territory here! http://www.gamefaqs.com/ds/943695-fire-emblem-shadow-dragon/stats --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO DpObliVion NO PEACE] (edited 12/16/2015 11:09:49 AM)report |
Oh, if SMW and CT meet during a future contest, I'm probably pulling the Nintendo trigger. Ninty gives Square no quarter. I find it illogical to presume that CT would have boosted more than other beloved SNES games. They all boosted and looked like monsters. If CT ever runs into LttP or World, that will become apparent imo. --- http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
charmander6000 posted... A shout out goes to Persona 3 > Dragon Quest VIII. 17% for the x-stat favourite? I picked DQVIII to win that match, but it wasn't unreasonable to expect that Persona has gone way up since 2010. I don't know if the stats back this up, but it certainly feels like Persona 4 has at least trended way up. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
LeonhartFour posted... I'm all for Mario World being the strongest. Then GameFAQs is making the right choice in picking which Mario game is the strongest. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
Old Mario games aren't easy to rally, and they'd need it to avoid getting blasted by CT this year. In the future though? CT may mean revert back to it's old strength. It's boost had no real source, an equally inexplicable decline is possible. I mean, that's possible for any game, but especially one who had it's strongest year ever. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Mario and his older games are probably really only so popular because of their legacy. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
Agree with everything cn just said. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
CaptainOfCrush posted... Oh, if SMW and CT meet during a future contest, I'm probably pulling the Nintendo trigger. Ninty gives Square no quarter. Ah, but, CT was the strongest of the SNES games to start with! In 2004, anyway. SNES power is even higher than 2004 now, so that seems more relevant than 2009. And CT/SMW was an open question in 2009, while it wasn't close in 2004. And there is a reason for CT to rise/fall the most with the fortunes of the SNES. It is the only strong SNES game without strong sequels in later generations. SMW gets part of its strength from being a Mario game. LTTP gets some strength from being a Zelda game. Even FFVI probably gets something from being a Final Fantasy game, though in the famously divided FF fanbase it doesn't mean as much. If you restrict the poll to the actual "SNES fanbase" CT wins against all the other SNES games, in every year since we started these things, I'm pretty sure. That is an SFF-like relationship won't ever change. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
