oh and speaking of Reptile

didn't HaRRicH want him in a Character Battle at one point

'whoops'

I still wished we got to see a third Mortal Kombat character

I think this poll is demonstrating that's not really necessary.

Shao Kahn would be your best bet at a third MK character at this point, I think.

Similar Ninja Factor.

I would just think who the f*** another sub zero ripoff that isn't even Scorpion.

literally losing to Liu Kang

get out

Smoke for the next Character Contest plz

By Smoke, you mean Big Smoke, who could easily get rally votes over a drive thru order

(that's the only chance GTA would ever have at winning anything)

A "Best GTA" poll would be good at this point. V > SA > VC > IV > III would be my bet.

Oh! Hey, guys...

Kefka vs. The Joker

Who ya got?

Portal playrate poll today:

https://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/6862-

That's an interesting way to phrase the first option because I don't think everyone who loved Portal 1 automatically loved Portal 2, too.

Both are classics, but yeah, it's not necessarily agreed upon in unison. Portal is a hard game to follow-up on though for many reasons and Portal 2 was a more than admirable attempt to follow up on that.

I'd take III over IV in a match, but the game may be SFF by SA and VC in a favourites poll, relatively speaking.

The wording of that option makes this poll useless for Portal 2's playrate, but the poll can still be used to figure out Portal 1's playrate.

I've read and heard at least twice recently that people have agreed overtime GTA IV > V, but I guess that's just hardcore fans talking.

Then again, although Brawl > Melee was the popular opinion for years, the hardcore fanbase that Melee represented eventually outspoke the rest.

I figure GTAIII would be able to avoid last place simply for being the... "original" GTA for a lot of people.

GTAIV was the blacksheep of the family though

Yeah GTA IV is by far the worst game of all the relevant GTAs

GTAV seems to have had the best showings so I'd back it in a best GTA poll.

Pokemon GSC ownership poll today:

https://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/6866-

However, I wouldn't treat this as a playrate poll even if the last 2 options would exclude most of the people who haven't played it. There's still the chance that someone could have played the game without ever owning a copy. And I personally wouldn't treat the HGSS option as having played GSC, since we're interested in likely playrate of the original GSC and not their remakes.

It just occurred to me that the HGSS option might very well count towards GSC's likely playrate, since most of the people who have played HGSS have probably played the original GSC as well. There's still that small chance someone could have played HGSS and not the originals, along with those who played GSC without owning an original copy of the game (like borrowing from a friend). The poll also doesn't factor in people who might have played it illegally on an emulator, which is another issue here.

As of right now, the first 4 options in this poll gives GSC a potential playrate of 68.60%, although the likely playrate is expected to be in the range of 69-72%.

Also, finally got around to adding Portal 1's playrate result to this page:

http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Have_You_Played

Portal 1 finished with a playrate of 62.31% in its playrate poll, though the poll is completely useless in figuring out Portal 2's playrate due to the way it was designed.

While I think most people who played HGSS on this site have already played the original GSC, the fourth option seems to mostly be for those who played HGSS but not the originals.

Kefka vs. The Joker

Who ya got?

C'mon, I wanna know.

It makes no sense for Kefka to ever beat the Joker, so that's exactly why Kefka would win.

There's absolutely no way Joker would win.

People hardcore overestimate the strength of non-VG properties here. Besides Batman and maybe a few Star Wars characters, I don't see any of them giving NNers trouble. And I wouldn't be surprised if they just got blown out too.

Kefka is a far cry from a Noble Niner.

We're pretty far removed from when that contest would've been interesting anyway, so whatever.

Another Mario 1 playrate poll.

That's probably true. The overall complicated nature of the poll makes it difficult to even estimate the playrate of the original GSC. Factoring in people who might have played it on an emulator or those who borrowed the game from a friend, the playrate of GSC is probably in the range of 65-70% (adjusted downwards from an earlier estimate of 69-72%).

That's a pretty high playrate for GSC. Can't imagine R/B/Y.

As for SMB, ~95% sounds about right for a gaming site.

15-way favorite Final Fantasy poll happening today:

https://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/6872-

Hopefully we get a 1v1 Final Fantasy poll tomorrow between the top 2 games from today's poll (which is probably another FFVI/FFVII poll).

this is gonna be sad for FFXV I fear

can FF14 beat FF15?! oO

also hoping FF12 got a boost from the HD remaster, but that seems not the case.

LOL FFII

still 0 votes

Rather impressive that FFVI is currently winning right now, considering that FFVII does better in these huge polls due anti-voting being almost non-existent.

Eh, this is also FFVII's worst time, and every new game added to this poll leeches from VII more than VI, I'd wager.

Ouch, that last update was brutal for FFXV. It's now losing to FFXIV as of the 12:15 AM update.

FF14 deserves it, so that's fine

The real headscratcher is 13 beating them

Also, for comparison:

Final Fantasy X vs. Skyrim, who wins?

FFIX's gradual ascension over the course of these polls is something to behold. It might actually beat FFX next time.

The PS4 rerelease certainly is helping it here

probably so

either that or there's a close connection between a throwback game and a throwback site so FFIX fans stay as the vote totals keep falling

Final Fantasy X vs. Skyrim, who wins?

Based on these 3 polls:

https://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/3503-contest-quarterfinal-zelda-lttp-ff3-ff7-s-mario-64
https://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/3508-contest-final-ffvii-zelda-lttp-zelda-oot-ffx
https://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/6166-best-game-ever-day-34-division-iv-final-skyrim-vs-super

...I'd say FFX wins with at least 57%. (I was thinking it could 60-40 it, but it's a stretch considering Skyrim's been benefiting with all of its rereleases, and 60-40 would mean FFVI would put an even higher number on it, meaning that it could actually beat Super Mario 64 which I kind of doubt.)

It's time: Best. Indie game. Ever.

I want it even though I know Shovel Knight's no FF9.

Best Indie would actually be kind of interesting.

I could finally see what games are worth playing without having to go blind. I wonder how high would Scott Pilgrim, Super Meat Boy, I Wanna Be the Guy, VVVVVV, Flower, Journey, Ori and the Blind Forest and Braid would all fare.

Edit: Besides, Cave Story already got in BGE. To the Moon is also a title that intrigues me quite a lot (it's famous for making Youtubers cry with its story).

Best Indie Game more like first to 1000 votes wins

Or first to be rallied. I could see developers getting more into it than BGE4.

FFVIII is the best
