FFDragon posted... not sure if serious but Allen can't win anything Obviously anyone who says its rigged in his favor is joking Congrats DpObliVion for wrecking gurus From the place of your birth to the ends of the Earth~ |
Allen
has been running and entering the contests (for fun; he is not allowed
to compete for any prizes) for years. A few of us joked about pic
sabotage but none of us seriously think he's rigging things just to earn
a spot on the leaderboard. As creativename said, he's just made some
very questionable pic choices. It sucks for the people who are getting
screwed over, but you can blame him for a poor understanding of what the
best pictures are, not for intentionally messing with the results. Yoblazer http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif (edited 5/19/2017 10:46:12 PM) |
_SecretSquirrel posted... Well, since you asked for x-stats, the 2015 ones project over a doubling. True story: Goldeneye (2015g) VS Halo (2015g) Goldeneye has a strength of 30.04. Halo has a strength of 19.43. Goldeneye wins with 67.66% of the vote! A win of 21,501 with 60,875 total votes cast. If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? #theresafreakingghostafterus |
This is Gamefaqs. This site loves Nintendo and Square. It doesn't matter what the wider industry thinks of Goldeneye vs. Halo. September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
3 cuts in a row for the first time. Although they add up to a grand total of 7 votes. September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
I'm still waiting for that Mario 1 vs. Halo 1 match we should petition Allen to make that the bonus match |

Yeah, this is rather ridiculous to think he's rigging the contest to be on the leaderboard or something, considering at the very least, Allen really isn't the most savvy contest predictor. I think he had Pokemon D/P/P over Brawl in Game of the Decade. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for 2017 Guru champion. (edited 5/19/2017 10:51:51 PM) |
Alright, if anyone wish for it I will eat my shoe Can't believe 1997 is losing Damn you FFVII, how the mighty has fallen 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
interesting time for a 65% update for 2001 George Romero I know you're there |
98 to 127 srsly Congrats DpObliVion for wrecking gurus From the place of your birth to the ends of the Earth~ |
LeonhartFour posted... I'm still waiting for that Mario 1 vs. Halo 1 match If we take this contest at face value, Halo should win this easily. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for 2017 Guru champion. |
Oh and I want to cry about pic sabotage like most people here But let's be honest, 2001 not having Melee first hurt it too 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
And 1997 responds with a 61% update of its own. I'll check on this in the morning. |
Melee
is in the second line, which may almost be just as good. Unless you
have an old browser that can't scroll the pics, you're going to see that
rotation by the time you are able to click the vote button. Getting left off, or being buried in the fourth line is far worse than getting in the second line. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for 2017 Guru champion. |
He
gave 1997 the strongest starting rotation, there is no sabotage. You
can complain about picture sabotage if he used naked cartwheel Raiden as
the 2001 starting rotation. 2 line break(s), 160 characters allowed |
GranzonEx posted... He gave 1997 the strongest starting rotation, there is no sabotage. so you think only the first two pics matter? |
Yes I vote before looking through all the rotations or clicking the question mark. I want to believe 2 line break(s), 160 characters allowed |

This is an all-time low. Wow. Sorry dude. Goldeneye would beat halo 1 1v1. Comfortably. It's the strongest pure shooter on this site. |
2001 by the hour: 1:00 | 52.69% 2:00 | 49.78% 1997 managed to win the 2nd hour even despite that 65% update for 2001, but the first 40 minutes of the 3rd hour have been absolutely brutal for it. Didn't win an update this hour until 2:45. September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
At this point, I'm somewhat leaning towards 2001 winning this one, but really unsure how the trends will play out. September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
red sox 777 posted... At this point, I'm somewhat leaning towards 2001 winning this one, but really unsure how the trends will play out. Yeah, I think 2001 should be the favorite to win now, barring major shenanigans. 1997 might make a run at it overnight and possibly even threaten the lead but 2001 should recover in the daytime. |
Did we even have trends in this contest? I can't picture any comeback ever 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
Nanis23 posted... Did we even have trends in this contest? I can't picture any comeback ever Mostly geographical. |
Eh,
I think I'd take Half-Life 2 in the "best shooter" for this site. Even
if it doesn't have the nostalgia factor, it's widely respected and
nearly beat Metroid Prime that one time, though it's definitely fallen.
Bioshock also came to mind, though it's hard to gauge considering
unrelated rallies nearly pushed it to beat MGS3. 2015 X-stats put HL2 ahead of Goldeneye, though only by a slim margin. If I recall, they were in the same division, too, so it's more accurate than most results. Then again, Undertale... Come watch me on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/gameryogi |

Bioshock also came to mind, though it's hard to gauge considering unrelated rallies nearly pushed it to beat MGS3. I'd take Goldeneye in a straight match, but that whole division's got stat problems considering it got a ton of spillover from Undertale's rallies. Agent Triple Zero at your service!

I took care in adjusting the entrants around Undertale. They stats for those guys should be more or less accurate. More or less. HL2/Goldeneye would probably be a close match. I probably take Goldeneye as it's more nostalgic and GameFAQs is old. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
So
I just woke up and I checked the results. To tell the truth I don't
understand why everyone thought 1997 would win. Sure it has FF7 and
SOTN, but 2001 has Halo, GTA 3 and OOT. You tell me which is more
important. And I voted for 1997 of course. Why do we exist? What happens when we stop existing? What is Life? |
OOT was 98! "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
What's more important is knowing what year OoT came out. Come watch me on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/gameryogi |
Safer_777 posted... To tell the truth I don't understand why everyone thought 1997 would win Yeah well I gotta admit https://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/6171-best-game-ever-day-37-quarterfinal-smash-bros-melee-vs-final I guess I just forgot about this match Somehow in my mind FFVII was still considered the 2nd strongest game in the site... 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
Yeah
you are correct. Damn! But still 2001 is more important. Of course
people don't vote based on which year is more important. Still 2001 was
the favorite before the contest started. The question is can 2001 hold 1998 under 60%? And I believe no. Why do we exist? What happens when we stop existing? What is Life? |
finally caught up all I have to say is after being on the losing side it feels good to be on the winning side of a bad pic Joe Bulo says hi (edited 5/20/2017 1:04:12 AM) |

Nanis23 posted... Safer_777 posted...To tell the truth I don't understand why everyone thought 1997 would win To be fair Melee caught massive rallies later in the contest. "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
FF7 is the #3 game on the site. OoT is #2. CT is #1. FF7 would beat Melee quite easily unless rallies were involved. This isn't FF7 vs. Melee. 1997 has a reeeeally bad picture lacking several of its strongest games and the result shows. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Also,
looking at the picture scroll, I think the first line having FFX vs.
FF7 is the only reason 1997 is even keeping it close. Everything after
that is murder. The very next one is Melee & MGS2 vs. Diddy Kong
Racing and Age of Empires. Then Paper Mario and Golden Sun vs. Harvest
Moon and Tekken. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

In fairness, 97 wins the last line, but I've already mentioned that it might as well be invisible because of how long it takes to get there. Agent Triple Zero at your service!

KamikazePotato posted... FF7 is the #3 game on the site. OoT is #2. CT is #1. Chrono trigger isn't no1. I know a lot of it's fan like to believe that. But let's not act like cr is innocent in the rallying that contest from a ton of facebook groups. There was this one guy on here rallying it with a ton of determination. OoT beats it comfortably. Let's not delude ourselves into thinking otherwise. But CT Fans can dream if they want. With the current low votals now it probably bearts ff7. But that's about it. (edited 5/20/2017 1:44:52 AM) |
I think the last line is more or less equal. SF64>DMC>AW>Fallout. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
I'll believe CT>OoT when I see it. You know, it very well could be but until we get that match, there is no evidence of this. Just to clarify on this, the size of OoT's victory over FFVII, Melee's victory over FFVII, CT's victory over FFVI, and FFVII's victory over FFVI all point towards OoT being much stronger. You have to make a lot of assumptions to put CT on top. Namely Melee weakening between rounds and FFVI being on a par with FFVII while getting SFF'd by FFVII but not CT. It's reaching. I just decided to change this sig. So yeah. (edited 5/20/2017 1:58:06 AM) |
KamikazePotato posted... I think the last line is more or less equal. SF64>DMC>AW>Fallout. I'd take Fallout over Advance Wars. Fallout 1 has at least shown enough notoriety to get in these contests (was in Spring 2004, and I believe got Add/Removed out of the 2nd Games contest), even prior to Fallout 3 causing the series to go main stream. Advance Wars has been completely invisible until now, which is a good enough reason to doubt it here. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for 2017 Guru champion. |
KamikazePotato posted... FF7 is the #3 game on the site. OoT is #2. CT is #1. I'd say RBY > FF7 . How OoT , CT and RBY ranks up is something we cannot really say (though RBY can always count on a small rally if needed). (edited 5/20/2017 1:59:11 AM) |
Also, does FFVII beat Melee that easily without rallies? Melee's victory over FFVII was firm. Actually if we assume Melee wasn't being rallied in its bonus match, it might win. I just decided to change this sig. So yeah. |
Lightning Strikes posted...

You have to make a lot of assumptions to put CT on top. Namely Melee weakening between rounds and FFVI being on a par with FFVII while getting SFF'd by FFVII but not CT. It's reaching. Literally every match you just listed was affected by rallies and/or rally spillover and is completely worthless when discussing inherent strength. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

Wel what isn't worthless is noting how strong OoT is. And it's clearly the no.1 game on this site without any rallies and has been since 2008. |

So then list your evidence that is better than the evidence we do have. You haven't provided a lick of evidence for CT>OoT, or even for the bonus matches' results being altered significantly by rallying. I just decided to change this sig. So yeah. |
creativename posted... With a fair pic, I still think 1997 wins. Agreed. 1997 got a majority of its Nintendo appeal hidden away while going up against a top five Nintendo game. An unfortunate recipe for disaster. Yoblazer http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
Why
is everyone treating a rally as if it is some abnormality that obscures
the data? A game having a fanbase dedicated enough to rally for it is
part of its inherent strength. |
I
feel even if you aligned the pics in order of strength, 2001 still
comes out favoured. 1997 drops off sharply after its top 5 games, while
2001 just keeps going. And even if you only lined up the top 5, I still
think 2001 wins. FFVII SotN Goldeneye Star Fox 64 Mario Kart 64 vs. Melee FFX MGS2 GTA3 Halo Not even mentioning DMC and GS or showing the three consoles. I think 2001 would have this either way. I just decided to change this sig. So yeah. |
The
biggest shame here is that Round 3 1997 is probably the only thing that
could have a shot of dethroning 1998. Especially if that late round
weirdness were to pop up where the underdog tends to overperform in late
matches. But, I don't think even the best 2001 can take down 1998, unless in the instance ideal 2001 meets a pic-dickery gimped 1998. I suppose it's very possible and a fitting end to this contest, but that's not going to be something anyone cares to remember a few months from now. Agent Triple Zero at your service!
