SLOLid Snake

ZSS just took his head off with that update

Sonic is so bad

Small cut in percentage. Let's mosey.

Come on, Crono. Keep me on the leaderboard one more day!

Samus keeps showing just how much better she is than Mario indirectly. Its so f***ing funny.

So does this indisputably prove rSFF in Mario/Samus?

Snake outperformed Mario on Zelda, Mario beats Samus, and now Samus is smoking Snake.

Samus>Snake>Mario in strength, but Mario>Samus directly

Mario vs. Samus rSFF confirmed!

hentai rally spillover

Oof Crono did a thing

Also Mario > Snake both directly and indirectly, Zelda was not a constant between those two matches.

also maybe ZSS is actually stronger than regular Samus now.

not even joking

This also potentially makes Tifa > Seph not rSFF too.

Zelda is more of a constant than Mario was. That dude is lucky he gets the hierarchy against Samus.

Zelda beating Mario seemed to confirm that, but today's match seems to, well, DOUBLE confirm it.
Sephiroth just sucks really, really bad. Which makes me wonder how Ryu and Captain Falcon didn't do better on Seph....

wow she still going up..poor snake.making sonic look bad

Meanwhile, Crono looks good to take the lead in the next update. Crono has been a slow starter this contest, so Mega Man could be in serious trouble.

This is suprising. Snake so bad? Isn't he Number 2? And what is with Samus so strong? MGS games keep coming and all are good. Metroid games barely come and they are mediocre. Eh whatever.

Sooooo... about my post saying which is more likely, Snake winning or Samus winning with 56+%. As we can see now, Snake winning was NOT obviously more likely....

I'm really curious about Samus vs. Zelda. Could Zelda beat Samus, too? Transitivity says she should be able to.

Oh, yeah, and all of TIfa's division has been vindicated! Luigi is above Bowser and Yoshi, just as I thought! (at last, it seems more likely now based on this point in the polls)

Zelda benefitted massively from hentai rallies. Mario was losing the user vote and winning the anon vote after a few hours according to luster. He ended up comfortably winning the user vote but Zelda crushed the anon vote

Damn perverts

If you look at the 2015 Games Contest Metroid games all overperformed and MGS games all underperformed

Also 1.66 for Zelda. I guess the lowest percentage ever has to be with L-Block back in 2007 right?

nice update snake

Crono's shrinking it down to a 51-49, while Snake is just choking into a 55-45.

Wait we didn't get Black Turtle reaction to Zelda > Mario yet

By the way, I kept them off-radar but me and kiraamaya did put porn rallies this match
By amount of upvotes (my rallies)-

r/hentai - 524
r/futanari - 335
r/rule34 - 322
r/hentaibondage - 79
r/ahegao - 74
r/ecchi - 64
r/yuri - 52
r/zelda - 0

@BlAcK_TuRtLe must be so proud.

Also I dread to think what Samus will do to Sephiroth. I mean Sephiroth scored on Mario 41%. Snake will score to Samus around 43%. But Snake is much stronger than Sephiroth and Samus is indirectly stronger than Mario but loses because of hierarcy. Damn!

Crono doing well enough to show he's about even with Megaman but still hopefully nice enough to lose so we don't have to have a repeat match next round. What a sport

What's @Nanis23 's Reddit account?

Why do people keep insisting Zelda has gotten a significant bandwagon?

She's been a monster all contest. We just kept disbelieving our eyes, so found excuses to s*** on her opponents.

Any bandwagon is very small. And I'm not convinced there's any at all.

God rallies piss me off. Literally nobody wants them when their bracket is doing well but once their out of prize contention it's time to screw up the contest!

Like people whine about low votals and gamefaqs so insular but the fun in these is correctly gauging gamefaqs strength, not who can rally harder. Ten f***in hentai threads eugh. It is really is poor sportsmanship

I'd say almost all rallies happen because of pure favoritism. Very few would have anything to do with brackets.

This site is into cartoon hotties now, so I could definitely buy that.

Mega Man with a perfect thousand, and Crono five votes behind.

Stall between Samus and Snake

trends right now are bad for Megaman. he was comfortably ahead of Pikachu by this point in the match he lost.

also that insane start from Samus might have actually been hentai rallies spillover...what on earth

Crono will kill the night vote and take this. Least I'll be 2/2 today

now see if Metroid Prime 4 was at the TGAs with a dope ass trailer like there was SUPPOSED to be one, Samus/Mario runback could've been interesting

Snake stalled twice! Could he make a match of this?

There's no evidence of a major rally. Minor one, probably. Not enough to flip the result.

Isn't Crono almost just as weak in Europe as Mega Man is?

He's still a JRPG character.

The percentages are there for you to view. Hel 60-40 him in Europe at worst

I did a hourly registered user trend chart for the match in order to estimate what percentage of registered user votes we should have gotten based on the decrease of overall registered users over the course of the match. Looks like we should have gotten around 48% registered users in this match, but we actually finished with 46.83% registered users. That puts the estimated rally votes around 450 or so. We could have also gotten enough rallied votes to actually flip the result.

Everyone with a score of 109 or less got the match wrong.

Pretty much a complete disaster. Everyone in the Top 148 gets the match wrong. Only 29 out of the Top 999 brackets get the match right.

Honestly even assuming 450 rallied votes for Zelda, that still means it would have been a very close match.

And that match had no business being that close considering Snake, Samus and Sonic.

1. Not all of those votes go to Zelda.
2. Even if 100% of them due, it's still lower than the final margin of victory.
3. Even if you ignore all that anyway (why), Mario gets 200 extra free votes from the registered users by default.

Stall between Samus and Snake

Samus has 10% lead on Snake. Not as close as I thought it would be. Definitely figured Crono would be beating Mega Man though

Averia posted...

Honestly even assuming 450 rallied votes for Zelda, that still means it would have been a very close match.

It could have even been higher than 450 rallied votes, because removing 450 votes from Zelda would give Zelda 52.40% with anonymous users (Zelda had 48.82% with registered users). We would still have a fairly large split of about 3.5% between registered and anonymous users even with 450 votes removed from Zelda.

Increasing it to 600 votes removed brings Zelda down to 51.62% with anonymous users and with almost a 3% split between registered and anonymous users.

KP, Luster has spoken and we're talking stats. Pick your battles dude

Jman_maximum posted...

also that insane start from Samus might have actually been hentai rallies spillover...what on earth

As of 8:00 PM, Samus has 54.79% with registered users and 57.72% with anonymous users. It seems unlikely that spillover was a major factor because Snake is still losing easily among registered users.
