Bump This was not the best year for my bracket. Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest! |
Two months left 'til Summer's over. Here lies the sig of BK_Sheikah00, who swore fealty to the Gurus of Board 8. |
Travis Touchdown vs Frank West Who ya got Is this Elite Beat Agents 2? |
Frank, but in reality whoever's the top option. Just for the fun of it, in an all-fictional character contest, who would win between Ridley and Boba Fett? "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |

Okay Ridley vs. Jabba the Hutt "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
Jabba is way too low on the Star Wars pecking order to choose over a new Smash character. "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima BKSheikah won Guru, but you know that. |
I'm
tracking updates for today's poll since the 2010 and 2012 versions of
this poll had some strong trend changes. I also tracked poll updates
for the 2015 and 2016 versions of this poll, and I plan on getting those
added to my poll update spreadsheet for this poll. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |

Chewbacca Kylo Ren Ellen Ripley Sarah Connor The Bride Michael Myers The Thing (the alien monster, not the superhero) "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
None of them would beat Ridley on GameFAQs. "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima BKSheikah won Guru, but you know that. |
You're probably right unfortunately. Ridley probably curb-stomps most of them. All right then, how would Pac-Man fare against that group? "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
Poll updates and trend charts for yesterday's poll: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1i5O6l3O4TC3ZFl6WHrI7ns5r3IRApvjaEAaHELKNyNo/pub?gid=557823655 I also got around to adding the poll updates and trend charts from the 2015 and 2016 polls as well, though I'll only discuss the trends from yesterday's poll. "In the morning" performs best during the morning vote, as expected. The Power Hour and night vote were both around average, while the ASV was a little bit below average and the SNV was terrible. "In the middle of the day" has the most consistent trends overall out of all the options here. "In the afternoon" has fairly stable trends over the course of the entire poll, although it does perform best during the morning vote and still has a slightly above average Power Hour and night vote. The ASV and SNV were below average. "In the evening" has a terrible board vote, while the Power Hour and night vote were also bad as well. It performs best during the early morning vote which was highly unexpected here. It also has a very good ASV, although it does drop off hard during the final hour of the poll (similar to the Power Hour numbers). "Late at night" actually does perform best at night, which includes the board vote/Power Hour, night vote, and SNV. It performs worst during the morning vote and ASV. "Overnight" performs best during the Power Hour and night vote, although the SNV does not mirror the FNV here. It has a terrible morning vote and a slightly below average ASV/SNV. Besides the trends in this poll, I also went back and looked at how the results have changed over the past history of the earlier re-runs of this poll. Since the options have remained completely unchanged from the original poll back in 2010, it's very easy to compare the polls without any concern over the wording of the options affecting the results. Vote percentage history for the options in this poll: In the morning - 5.58%, 3.97%, 4.27%, 4.41%, 4.76% In the middle of the day - 5.93%, 4.19%, 4.34%, 4.12%, 4.11% In the afternoon - 14.03%, 13.98%, 11.40%, 10.84%, 10.54% In the evening - 37.92%, 43.75%, 47.71%, 49.83%, 51.52% Late at night - 23.46%, 23.73%, 24.24%, 23.64%, 23.09% Overnight - 13.07%, 10.38%, 8.05%, 7.16%, 5.98% The biggest change has been the "In the evening" option, which has gained more than 13% over the history of this poll. Back in 2010, our gaming time was less concentrated on one specific part of the day and much more spread out over the course of the entire day. As we've gotten much older since 2010, a lot more people on this site have full-time jobs and have less time to play video games during the hours that are most associated with a normal working hours "Overnight" has also taken a very serious decline as those hours have to be set aside for sleep now that a larger percentage of this site has a full-time job. "Late at night" is the most unaffected option over the history of this poll, while "In the morning" and "In the middle of the day" have remained fairly stable since the 2012 poll. "In the afternoon" has fallen off slightly, but not by a huge amount. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ!

Who prefers to watch a movie on their phone wut Yet... |
That would probably be why that option has below 1%, yes. LinkMarioSamus posted... swirIdude posted...Jabba is way too low on the Star Wars pecking order to choose over a new Smash character. Except for maybe Chewbacca, why would you think any of those would be worth anything? Like yeah, they're generally good characters from good movies but even if those films had a high watch rate (and some of them definitely wouldn't), they wouldn't really mean anything to most of the gamefaqs demographic.

*comes back to find no contest and Jabba the Hutt vs. Ridley talk* why did I come back |
You
know deep down you secretly wanted to discuss the merits of who would
win a GameFAQs popularity content between Jabba the Hunt and Ridley. Not_Wylvane |
Also I hear there's supposed to be some sort of Summer Contest, I guess ertyu is running it this year...? Not_Wylvane |
Not_Wylvane posted... You know deep down you secretly wanted to discuss the merits of who would win a GameFAQs popularity content between Jabba the Hunt and Ridley. Ridley would win. No one f***ing likes Jabba the Hunt. At all. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |
Not even Jabba the Hutt likes Jabba the Hunt. Not_Wylvane |
Pizza the Hutt would double Jabba the Hutt at minimum. |
So, is this talk about Ridley pre-Smash announcement or post-Smash announcement anyway? Agent Triple Zero at your service! BKSheikah is the new greatone. |
_SecretSquirrel posted... So, is this talk about Ridley pre-Smash announcement or post-Smash announcement anyway? Ridley beats Jabba the Hutt in either scenario. "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima BKSheikah won Guru, but you know that. |
Ridley couldn't handle the bone cage so what makes you think he could handle the fat cage |
swirIdude posted... _SecretSquirrel posted...So, is this talk about Ridley pre-Smash announcement or post-Smash announcement anyway? You're probably right, but Smash Ridley has me wondering why there would even be such a notion, whereas no-Smash Ridley might at least have a small chance. Agent Triple Zero at your service! BKSheikah is the new greatone. |
AxemRedRanger posted... That would probably be why that option has below 1%, yes. I thought Ripley would be worth SOMETHING, but then again I guess the last good Alien film having come out over 30 years ago won't help any. But losing to Ridley just sounds wrong on so many levels. EDIT: Actually yeah, all but the most iconic non-VG characters would probably be fodder here. Oh well. "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil (edited 7/28/2018 2:47:37 AM) |
I'd
actually give a chance to Kylo. Chewie may have some background, but we
have to remember Kylo is basically Darth Vader 2. Other than that, as
far as modern Star Wars characters go, I don't think even Rey has a
chance against Ridley now. Neither Sarah nor John Connor would be worth much, but The Terminator would certainly put up a great match. I'm not much into cinema, so I don't know about the other characters, but that's what I got. P.S.: Jabba is the worst Star Wars character ever conceived. Here lies the sig of BK_Sheikah00, who swore fealty to the Gurus of Board 8. |
I
wouldn't expect any non-Star Wars sci-fi character to be worth much in
general, and even then, only a select few Star Wars characters
(basically just Luke, Vader, Han, and maybe Yoda). (edited 7/28/2018 3:46:32 PM) |
LeonhartFour posted... I wouldn't expect any non-Star Wars sci-fi character to be worth much in general, and even then, only a select few Star Wars characters (basically just Luke, Vader, Han, and maybe Yoda). maybe Yoda? Yoda would be second only to Vader and then I'm not even sure Yet... |
I dunno. I'd be a little skeptical of his strength. not that we'll ever find out because an all-fictional character contest is too absurd of a premise but best shoe in gaming isn't |
LeonhartFour posted... I wouldn't expect any non-Star Wars sci-fi character to be worth much in general, and even then, only a select few Star Wars characters (basically just Luke, Vader, Han, and maybe Yoda). Do you count the Avengers comic characters as sci-fi? If those dudes (or dudettes) got into a contest they could wreck shop. Black Panther versus Ridley, who you got???

Ridley because of RacistFAQs Congratulations to BKSheikah for winning the guru |
I don't count Marvel or DC as sci-fi, no. |
I think I'd take Picard over Ridley. ...Maybe. Not_Wylvane |
Not_Wylvane posted... I think I'd take Picard over Ridley. Make it so. "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima BKSheikah won Guru, but you know that. |
LeonhartFour posted... I don't count Marvel or DC as sci-fi, no. well, marvel did publish the 2001: a space odyssey comics. Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta |
In fairness Ridley does have a heck of a lot more recent relevancy than Ripley or Picard. How about Ridley vs. Mad Max? Ridley vs. Maximus Decimus Meridius? "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
Tekashi69 posted... LeonhartFour posted...I wouldn't expect any non-Star Wars sci-fi character to be worth much in general, and even then, only a select few Star Wars characters (basically just Luke, Vader, Han, and maybe Yoda). I feel like all but Vader and maybe Luke are undercut because they don't do much as video game characters. Nobody is going to vote for 2nd tier Star Wars characters because a good majority of voters will consider their relevance to gaming. Agent Triple Zero at your service! BKSheikah is the new greatone. |

AxemRedRanger posted... Twilight Princess vs. Wind Waker Windwaker Unless Botw is in it Can't believe a wii u game could win the entire contest but there it is Yet... |
and I literally almost won that contest |
Just for the fun of it, who wins these match-ups? All video game vs. non-VG: Revolver Ocelot vs. John McClane Terra Branford vs. Ellen Ripley Claire Redfield vs. Sarah Connor Master Chief vs. "Mad" Max Rockatansky Pit vs. Maximus Decimus Meridius Ryu Hayabusa vs. Kylo Ren Albert Wesker vs. RoboCop "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil (edited 7/31/2018 9:08:26 AM) |

All the hype behind Fury Road wouldn't be enough to get Max past a Master Chief that's fading into irrelevance? "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
Fury
Road's old hat at this point, and the Mad Max game came and went. Don't
have much faith in Max, or really any character with big success in a
video game, doing much here. Not_Wylvane |
Hell, I don't even have faith in myself... Not_Wylvane |
