yeah, you've been doing that the whole contest. that option is practically a joke vote anyway. --- xyzzy |
The
"spite" option is such an attractive joke option that I'm sure most
people are voting for it for just that reason. I almost voted for it and
have been congratulating the Undertale fans every step of you. --- http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
you = the way "every step of you" sounds like it would make a good title to a Nomura RPG --- http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
Karma Hunter posted... I will say at least anecdotally, I vote for Chrono Trigger a lot but I almost never vote for Crono. I know most people don't vote based on actual character, but some of us do. Funny, I'm the exact opposite. I'd be much more likely to vote for a Chrono Trigger character than I would for the game itself. The characters were actually really good; it's the disjointed way the narrative fit together that bothered me. I might have to give it a second...sorry, third chance, though, since the combat system that bothered me so much there actually isn't all that different from the one that I have absolutely no problems with in FF6. KamikazePotato posted... Alright, I've been poking around the stats a lot. Here are some findings: Tell us something we didn't know. I think GSC getting a better percentage on Majora's Mask in a fourway with RBY hammering it down than it did in a 1v1 is all the proof you need that something shifted radically. --- FC 5026-4424-6331 Congratulations to BGE3 Guru Champion DpOblivion |

"Every Step of You" also sounds like a bad 80s song --- Ralliers' determination can't even hold a birthday candle to the blazing flame of DpOblivion's winning spirit! |
Who was it that was saying they wanted Undertale to win the contest because that would get lots of new people to play the game? --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. Obliterated by DpObliVion in the Guru contest. |
3983
votes at the end of the first hour. It doesn't seem like today's poll
is getting frontloaded at the start, so we should be in pretty good
shape to get at least 35000 votes day assuming no rally on Tumblr or
other sites. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as DpObliVion, Guru Champ! |

keep fighting the good fight, Undertale spiters also KH2/TP felt like more of a fluke than KH2/Melee did I remember everyone predicting that to be pretty close and then TP blew it away (probably due to spillover from all the Melee/Brawl rallying tbqh) --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif What DpOblivion did to me in the Guru Contest, in GIF form |
Luster did you save those images and send them cn's way? --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest Congrats to DpOblivion in the guru! |
Since
x-stats have been trampled over by rallying, I thought we'd rank the
top 15, ordinally, according to how many games we think they would lose
to. I created a topic to post lists here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/73011689 --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |

KamikazePotato posted... http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/5953-how-old-are-you Oooof, that 13-16 stat. The site's dyin', Cloud. No way gamefaqs retains enough users to be around a decade from now. |
well we may have just gotten a boost on that front --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
I really hope so |
Certainly looks like it: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/72985439 Though who knows what the retention is. (...do we have any regulars who are that young?) --- Ralliers' determination can't even hold a birthday candle to the blazing flame of DpOblivion's winning spirit! |
There are quite a few regulars in there who are in their early 20s, looking through that topic like Raka and Snake5^10. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif What DpOblivion did to me in the Guru Contest, in GIF form |
Oh yeah I knew we had like college age people, but I can't think of any high school aged people. --- Ralliers' determination can't even hold a birthday candle to the blazing flame of DpOblivion's winning spirit! |
Remember when gamefaqs was nothing but highschoolers? |

I
made an attempt to try and factor out spillover voting from yesterday's
grudge matches by removing the first 3 hours of votes from all 4
matches and the only significant change in percentages was FFVII/OoT.
OoT goes from 59.18% to 58.31% after removing the first 3 hours of
votes, so I bet the spillover hurt FFVII pretty bad. The other 3
matches don't appear to have any significant changes in their
percentages with the removal of the first 3 hours of votes, so I
wouldn't worry about spillover hurting those matches. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as DpObliVion, Guru Champ! |
What was the biggest update this contest? 741 for Undertale VS Melee I believe? --- 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! |
Janus5k posted... *checks Facebook* Facebook uses referral history and other semi-creepy methods to determine your interests on what shows up on their 'hot topics' list --- DpObliVion, my hat is off to you. Welcome to the Guru Champions Club lol xstats |
Safer_777 posted... What was the biggest update this contest? 741 for Undertale VS Melee I believe? Undertale had a 900 or so update actually --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
Damn it! Nice! --- 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! |
Undertale had over 2200 at the freeze against OOT. I believe that is our biggest update ever, actually. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
Well yeah I don't know about which game holds the record of "most updates at the freeze" but R7 Undertale sounds right Unless I am mistaken it also holds the record for non-freeze most votes per update, looks like it got 1275 votes between 00:05 to 00:10 The previous record was 1003 for Draven against Snake --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
Just checked the updater log Undertale recorded 2226 after the freeze (00:06) and gained +1275 on the update after that (00:10) ...And then it gained +1366 on the update after that one. (00:15) --- This is a signature. |
I'm
a little disappointed Undertale's win isn't acknowledged in the front
page like most winners (poll aside). Even Draven got something
sarcastic like "And the winner is...Draven?" --- DpObliVion wins the contest and fills you with determination. My bracket had a bad time. |
1366
update? Now that is insane! Draven had a 1003 one but it was 3 people
so maybe he could break that too. But we shall never know. As for Undertale yeah, I would like SBAllen to have this skeleton guy just in the top of the site for a day at least! --- Why do we exist?What happens when we stop existing? 124 Gurus were better than me in BGE 2015 contest!

Good to know it didn't take much time for our vote totals to sink back into nothingness. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif What DpOblivion did to me in the Guru Contest, in GIF form |
It's still pretty high, we're looking at around 45k votes today. Before the contest we were struggling to break 20k. We'll see how they look in about a week. --- Congrats to DpObliVion for winning the guru. |
So normal days is around 25.000 and we had a match with around 175.000 votes. I propose to have contests every year! --- 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! |

Man everyone knows that we are the people of the site that complain a lot now! The salt is on us! --- 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! |
I cannot express how much I hate the sentiment that article puts forth. --- http://i.imgur.com/RHvCiY3.png |
Also that Kotaku article has like 920 replies and most make fun of us. Of course. --- 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! |
Is NY Magazine suppose to be reputable or is it like Kotaku? That's some poor writing IMO. --- Congrats to DpObliVion for winning the guru. |
Pretty sure it's more reputable than Kotaku, anyway? Glad to see journalists are still doing their due diligence... "Yay" --- Ralliers' determination can't even hold a birthday candle to the blazing flame of DpOblivion's winning spirit! |
charmander6000 posted... It's still pretty high, we're looking at around 45k votes today. Before the contest we were struggling to break 20k. Nah, we aren't getting 45000 votes today. It looks more like 35000 votes and that's pretty high considering the age poll barely broke 30000 votes this year. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as DpObliVion, Guru Champ! |
The vote totals have died in the second half of the day --- Congrats to DpObliVion for winning the guru. |
