MetalmindStats posted... due to the generally negative sentiments around PUBG Huh? It's like paying for bubble wrap. -transience on Final Fantasy: All the Bravest |
redrocket posted... MetalmindStats posted...due to the generally negative sentiments around PUBG https://i.imgtc.com/Fpkebp1.png "Generally negative" is probably a bit of an exaggeration, but least for the Steam version, PUBG has a reputation as quite unpolished, and PUBG Corp. as highly unresponsive to players' concerns and slow to enact change. Most particularly, they started a 'Fix PUBG' campaign a few months back due to all the complaints, which hasn't produced much yet beyond new maps. |
I can't believe I'm 7th in the 2nd chance bracket. And I really can't understand how I jumped 22 spots with yesterday's matches. The people who were ahead of me must have had Zelda winning twice, or they wouldn't have been that high in the first place. Thus, they had Snake and Sonic in Losers, and Sonic > Snake was never going to happen. Did 22 people seriously have faith in Tifa/Seph over Samus? How? Not changing this sig until Caius Ballad is released in FFRK. |
Ultimaphazon posted... I can't believe I'm 7th in the 2nd chance bracket. Might have been people taking Mario>Seph/Tifa in losers? Not sure if Samus>Mario brackets could still have been ahead of you. LeBron "Stannis" James - The one true king of the NBA |
It gets really hard to understand who has what with the loser's bracket. |
Can Link stop going down? I mean, this is a great performance even if he drops to 60% by the end of it, but I want this to be even better wololo |
Based
on our vote totals right now, we're on pace to break 30000 votes
(probably will finish around 31000 votes). This would be our first
match since the break to get above 30000 votes. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |
Link is a monster. Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! https://imgur.com/Dr4NAeq |
I think Joker beats Claire now. Come watch me on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/gameryogi |
Big Bob posted... I think Joker beats Claire now. With how much the Internet exploded over this, one must ask where were everyone during his match Persona is a totally f***ing GameFAQs game, how is this not more popular here I have no idea wololo |
ZeldaTPLink posted... Ok sorry I overreacted. It's just that there is something in the way you talk that gives off a condescending feel. But I don't mean to make enemies with you. For the record, you're not alone -- I've also had similar feelings about Yuri lately. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it seems like there's a certain kind of brash attitude that's assumes more confidence than necessary in debated topics with him and that makes nuance feel disregarded. Similarly not trying to make an enemy here either. I don't think it was the best time to call out for this during the two times I've seen him called out for it, but I do see where you're coming from in general and am glad to see it wasn't just me. Yuri_LowelI posted... X struggled to beat Tifa and MM can beat Cloud now Here's an example of what I think we're talking about, especially since we saw Tifa > Sephiroth. How far away is Sephiroth from Cloud nowadays? SSB4's DLC may have separated them more, but historically they've been close. I'm taking Cloud > Mega Man, but this isn't settled. Link versus Cloud posted... ayyy its me today Hereeeeeey. The account pays off! Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! https://imgur.com/Dr4NAeq |
Team Rocket Elite posted... Persona 5 Joker announced for SSBU. A bit too late to save him, though. Oh wow. Lucky Claire! Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! https://imgur.com/Dr4NAeq |
Nanis23 posted... Big Bob posted...I think Joker beats Claire now. But it is..... The next game will be even more popular. It’s still niche in the mainstream somewhat. The most popular games on gfaqs still have mainstream appeal and success like ff7 and oot |
Well Persona 4 was able to avoid being doubled by a strong (if not top-tier) Zelda game in 2015. "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
LinkMarioSamus posted... Well Persona 4 was able to avoid being doubled by a strong (if not top-tier) Zelda game in 2015. And persona 4 never came out on a Nintendo system. If it had it would have been even stronger. Strong rumours suggest persona 5 being on switch. That will make it even more popular. |
Are we going back to Persona being the second strongest, non-Nintendo RPG? CBX - Today's Winner: Link |
I
think a lot of people just don't really care for silent mains in their
JRPGs at this point. Hence Crono's struggles despite Chrono Trigger's
massive boost. Kinda sticks out in an era where almost every big game has extensive voice acting. Persona 4 might be the strongest non-Nintendo/Square JRPG we've seen. That or Tales of Symphonia. Persona 5 could land around that area too. [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO BKSheikah NO PEACE] |
charmander6000 posted... Are we going back to Persona being the second strongest, non-Nintendo RPG? Probably need to add non-Square (since KH, Chrono and FF are all stronger) and Japanese (since Skyrim, Fallout, potentially KOTOR, etc are stronger). And even then... ugh... watching Persona 3 lose to DQVIII makes it hard to have much confidence in the franchise. Persona 4 and 5 should be much stronger than 3, especially after Joker got in Smash + Persona 5 Switch rumors, but it's hard to say. I think the only games challenging it for the title are Tales of Symphonia and Dark Souls. congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru |
I
think most of us called Dragon Quest VIII/Persona 3 wrong not despite
Persona having some strengthbut but rather exactly because of it. We
figured the rising Persona 4 tide would lift all boats and it...didn't.
Instead DQVIII/P3 played out pretty much how the GotD x-stats said it
would while Persona 4 got a major boost. [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO BKSheikah NO PEACE] |
We also thought there may have been some SFF in FFX/FFIX which Persona 3 was behind. It was a classic trying to outsmart the stats and getting burned by it. CBX - Today's Winner: Link |
Came back from work, checked the results. THis is what I have to say Match=I told that Link would break 60% and that Cloud would be lucky to avoid a doubling. I was right. Damn. So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |
I
also think if this match didn't happened on the day of Smash Bros
release, Cloud would break 40% for sure. Can anyone back this up? So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |
Safer_777 posted... I also think if this match didn't happened on the day of Smash Bros release, Cloud would break 40% for sure. Can anyone back this up? I really doubt the fifth smash game is having such a huge impact in the popularity of Link, especially when Cloud is also in it. |
*votes* Well, it is bad - in fact, worse than I expected. But have no fear, Cloud. You may never beat Link again, and you're not the #2 on the site anymore... but you'll always be #1 in my heart. |
tgs2 posted... squexa posted...I don't have much confidence in Persona 5. We seem to always overrate how strong Persona is every contest, but the series is still really niche.. New Vegas? really? Character Battle X Current Score: 328/448 "Something about that hedgehog rubs me the wrong way..." |
The Owner of FF9 posted...
Here is the mighty New Vegas: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/4213-best-of-2010-best-multi-platform-game-final Though to be fair it managed to break 40% on RE4 in BGE2015: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6142-best-game-ever-day-23-round-2-fallout-new-vegas-vs-resident We are living our lives Abound with so much information (edited 12/7/2018 10:54:40 AM) |
Well Link drop below 60% This is exciting wololo |
Denzokuken posted... *votes* This. Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
Kotetsu534 posted... The Owner of FF9 posted... New Vegas has gained significantly in stature since its release. "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
If
extrapolating Tifa through Mario/Samus and Samus/Tifa, and then
assuming Mega Man X = Sonic the Hedgehog, Mario beats Zelda with 52.66%. If Sephiroth = Sonic, Mario beats Zelda with 51.65%. If Ryu = Fox McCloud, Mario beats Zelda with 54.72%. "Ah,
a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is
a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |
Pretty sure that Fox is stronger than Ryu and Sephiroth stronger than Sonic at least after Smash hype is down. So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |
Match CXLII: (4) Zelda vs. (7) Mario Current Contest Performance Zelda Defeated Ezio Auditore da Firenze, 75.33% - 24.67% Defeated The Boss, 70.70%, 29.30% Defeated Squall Leonhart, 63.32% - 36.68% Defeated Aerith Gainsborough, 62.19% - 37.81% Defeated Solid Snake, 50.32% - 49.68% Defeated Sonic the Hedgehog, 56.45% - 43.55% Mario Defeated Sephiroth, 59.25% - 40.75% Defeated Samus Aran, 51.42% - 48.58% Analysis I think a lot more people need to be hyped about this match. Zelda has had an amazing run through the bracket and I am not 100% sure it ends here, ignoring the loser’s bracket. Her general performance is not too far from what I would expect Mario to do, even if you take into account that most of her opponents had reason the be weaker this year. With that said, Mario has also shown his strength. Even against a weaker Sephiroth, I doubt most people would take Squall or Aerith against him and while he didn’t SFF Samus, defeating her still requires a great deal of strength. This does feel like one of those matches where Zelda will get close, but fail to win. Though if you do want in invoke hierarchies Zelda could potentially pick up enough Nintendo votes to create an all-Legend of Zelda final. charmander6000’s Bracket: Solid Snake > Mario charmander6000’s Prediction: Mario wins, 53.28% - 46.72% CBX - Today's Winner: Link |
Man, If only...! Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! https://imgur.com/Dr4NAeq |
He's
not the first spirit for everyone, if that's what you're implying. I
don't think being one of hundreds of spirits would have helped him. ""Love"

Tonight/tomorrow's match is essentially THE match of the contest. Same day as SSBU release is just amazing. Character Battle X Current Score: 328/448 "Something about that hedgehog rubs me the wrong way..." |
The Owner of FF9 posted... Tonight/tomorrow's match is essentially THE match of the contest. Same day as SSBU release is just amazing. I still think Samus Mario Rematch is going to be the best MM/Crono will be good. But Zelda/Mario won't be. |
Mewtwo59 posted... He's not the first spirit for everyone, if that's what you're implying. I don't think being one of hundreds of spirits would have helped him. I was implying that, so thank you for clarifying otherwise. Also though, wow, my Switch really gets me right off the bat. Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! https://imgur.com/Dr4NAeq |

lets do this >_______________> |
Mario is not pleased by the new hierarchy I see. "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
Zelda with 69.1 If I only consulted the Gossip Stones like BKSheikah, instead of listening to Tingle, maybe I could have been the 2017 Guru Champ! |
