AxemRedRanger posted... Potentially worthwhile manga/anime characters really might just be DBZ guys outside of I guess non-game Pokemon characters. Think Naruto hit too late for the gamefaqs demographic to care about him. Sailor Moon, Yami Yugi, or Spike Spiegel would have potentially higher ceilings, though I think it's more likely they all collapse laughably than look respectable. From the Yu-Gi-Oh series, the only characters that worth getting in are Yugi Muto and Seto Kaiba. No one else from the series would be worth anything in a contest. In the case of Yugi, getting him in could be tougher unless nominations for both Yugi Muto and Yami Yugi are combined together.

Heck, maybe we could start a really big DDOS attack by putting him up against Geralt. >unironically playing video games (edited 12/15/2018 12:29:07 PM) |
We need Hitler in another contest. I bet he beats Sora at this point. Advokaiser rekt me in the GameFAQs fall 2018 character contest! |
Does anyone knows where I can go to see the previous contest stats in this site? So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |

did you guys miss the fictional part of this contest idea? "L-Block 2007 Character Battle Champion" Always remember. "L-Block, shaped like a boot to kick your ass" |

Moses vs Guybrush Threepwood, who would win? Advokaiser picked Cloud in Guru and rained on my bracket. At least I finished 20th overall! |
_Dog_ posted... HaRRicH wanted religious figures HaRRicH posted... Can't wait for us to get to the eligibility of religious figures. ^ Just to clarify, I was only referencing past times we've argued over this idea and how it has led to religion in the past. I can see why you thought that in hindsight though, my bad -- I don't have a strong opinion here either way. Advokaiser wrecked Board 8, and all I got was this sweet signature. Nicely done! |

But seriously not even a bonus poll? Damn... So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |
Holy s*** is the wording on this poll terrible. Let's Play Octopath Traveler (SSLP) https://mega64.net/index.php/lp/ot |

There's
no "No, I'm not traveling because all my friends and family are where I
live" type option, which would be my choice. Feels like there's a
couple other possibilities missing as well. Fifth option suggests you're gonna be completely shut-in for the holidays (which, GameFAQs, yeah I get it), and sixth is the same except you're working. They just all seem weirdly specific for a poll with six choices to me. Let's Play Octopath Traveler (SSLP) https://mega64.net/index.php/lp/ot (edited 12/16/2018 5:34:13 AM) |
Not_Wylvane posted... There's no "No, I'm not traveling because all my friends and family are where I live" type option, which would be my choice. Feels like there's a couple other possibilities missing as well. Closest option you could vote for is "No, I have time off, but I'm not going anywhere or seeing anybody". You have to remember that the poll is asking if you are traveling for the holidays, not "are you going to visit family or friends this holiday". In your case, you won't need to travel for the specific purpose of visiting family or friends as they are already with you right now.

Guys, this may have been discussed before, but... Finally, the long-awaited question: Assuming 2013 Draven = 2018 Draven, how much does 2018 Link put on 2013's weakest character? It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |
http://thengamer.com/gamefaqs/ContestBingo-KP.png Not sure we quite got it done this year? Thanks to the Legends bracket, that Link spot at #1 is choking like three different bingos. [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO Advokaiser NO PEACE] |

What
happened to the topic that had the top of the contest rankings and
whether people were prize or fun entries? Like I thought it had a post
in this morning/yesterday so no way should it have been purged but not
sure why it would have been deleted |
Advokaiser posted... Guys, this may have been discussed before, but... Using unadjusted stats 2018 Link gets 99.65% against 2013 Spring Breeze Dancin' through Draven. Congratulations to Advokaiser for winning the guru contest. |
that might not be too far off to be honest |
Nanis23 posted... AxemRedRanger posted...http://thengamer.com/gamefaqs/ContestBingo-KP.png We'll probably never see full blown fanboy wars, but I'm inclined to count TheStupidRaptor's hatedom for KOS-MOS as close enough. There was enough salt there for both ways. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, Advokaiser, the 2018 Guru Contest winner. |
charmander6000 posted... Advokaiser posted...Guys, this may have been discussed before, but... Wait, Spring Breeze Dancin' was ranked lower than Chester? The Big Problem with the Pokemon anime: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/217-pokemon/75265633 |
In the unadjusted stats, Mewtwo doing so well gave Chester a boost. Congratulations to Advokaiser for winning the guru contest. |

Something interesting came up in the PCA that I'd like to put here in the stats topic. It's about 16 seeds. Some 16 seeds don't deserve to only be 16 seeds. Some do. For the hell of it I went and looked this up. Here is the list of every 16 seed we've ever had in a contest. Servbot, Chop Chop Master Onion, Goemon, Pitfall Harry, AiAi, CATS, Captain Olimar, Raiden, Metal Gear, Secret of Mana, Suikoden 2, Starcraft, CATS, Earthworm Jim, Duke Nukem, Terry Bogard, Thrall, Lightning, Falco, Midna, Prince of Persia, Ridley, Proto Man, Marth, inFamous, Star Ocean 3, Guitar Hero 2, Beyond Good and Evil, Viewtiful Joe, Jet Grind Radio, Timesplitters 2, Wii Sports, Ratchet and Clank 3, Assassin's Creed 2, Age of Empires 2, Phoenix Wright, Hearthstone, Cave Story, Shenmue, Splatoon, Cuphead, Primrose, Ryo Hazuki, Cayde-6, Hat Kid, Rosalina, Miles Edgeworth, and Wesker. If you want to count the 27 seeds (ugh) in that 3way contest, you get Tingle, Dan, Little Mac, Commander Keen, Prinny, Missile, Sandbag, Magikarp, and Fawful. Of that list, here is my opinion on who is actual 16 seed material, and by this I mean comparable to the NCAAs where they have the 16 for a reason and would have no prayer of ever winning a match regardless of opponent. I know with LOL x stats and such we can give almost anyone a win on a technicality, but bear with me here. My list of true 16 seeds: Servbot, Chop Chop Master Onion, Goemon, Pitfall Harry, AiAi, inFamous, Star Ocean 3, Guitar Hero 2, Beyond Good and Evil, Jet Grind Radio, Timesplitters 2, Wii Sports, Age of Empires 2, Hearthstone, Cave Story, Cuphead, Primrose, Cayde-6, Hat Kid, Commander Keen, Prinny, and Missile. A case could be made no one else on that entire list is immune from winning. We saw CATS beat Nathan Drake once. Terry Bogard would probably beat most other characters on this list. Phoenix Wright is a 3 seed every contest and his game just got forgotten about once. I could go on, but you get the point. Who do you guys think are true 16 seeds and who do you think just doesn't get nominated hard enough? Starcraft is the obvious screwup, but I feel like there are others. |
I
think the next most obvious ones I would point to are Falco, Midna,
Ridley, Proto Man, and Marth, all decent or decent-ish
Nintendo/Nintendo-adjacent characters who squeaked past the 2010
vote-ins. Raiden, Lightning (not at the time, because her game hadn't
come out yet), Assassin's Creed II (certainly performed like a 16-seed,
but it should have been higher based on other metrics), Phoenix Wright
(based on the character's huge nomination support every character
battle), Rosalina, and Wesker are the other 16-seeds who look off as
16-seeds to me. Hail the reigning Guru champ, Advokaiser! You proved yourself more statistically metal-minded than I ever have been - well done! |

Glad it's not just me that thinks it's odd that it's missing. Smelling roses and sipping Champagne. |
Like it had to have been deleted by a moderator for some reason but I can't think of why it would be deleted. |
We've already had a playrate poll for MMX in the past, too. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5359-20-years-later-have-you-ever-played-mega-man-x And Missile has gotten not-last in a poll before. He beat Kerrigan! [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO Advokaiser NO PEACE] |
ShatteredElysium posted... Like it had to have been deleted by a moderator for some reason but I can't think of why it would be deleted. Maybe some sort of "legal" thing? People are mentioning that they are/are not eligible for prizes. So then maybe someone thinks they are going to be winning something when in reality they are not? Smelling roses and sipping Champagne. |
Missile,
Primrose and Cuphead could absolutely win matches given the right
opponent I think. Guitar Hero 2 and Star Ocean 3 as well. No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Seanchan posted... ShatteredElysium posted...Like it had to have been deleted by a moderator for some reason but I can't think of why it would be deleted. I just want to know how far up I am. At a minimum I'm 4th but not sure if 1 and 2 are prize brackets. Fron posting history and account age I think they likely are. I saw that 3rd said they were prize eligible already |
s***teredElysium posted... What happened to the topic that had the top of the contest rankings and whether people were prize or fun entries? Like I thought it had a post in this morning/yesterday so no way should it have been purged but not sure why it would have been deleted By making that topic the guy was admitting he was impersonating people with read-only alts, which is the only way to actually ban a read-only account for imping because GameFAQs is really f***ing dumb. You wonder why we can't get 30k votes for a contest match anymore? This site has been run terribly for well over a decade and people eventually just left. That plus harassing people nonstop finally got him banned. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/community/dva69 |
Back
in the day, it was listed on the results whether or not you qualified
for a prize. Only the prize eligible entries got "1st Place", "2nd
Place", etc. next to their names. Advokaiser picked Cloud in Guru and rained on my bracket. At least I finished 20th overall! |
Well eventually it will do that, I just don't know how long that process takes and I'm impatient |

Like I thought it had a post in this morning/yesterday so no way should it have been purged but not sure why it would have been deleted So somebody reported him then. Kinda lame they couldn't just axe him and leave the topic. Don't know why anyone would bother reporting him for that though, the topic was fairly innocuous (edited 12/17/2018 10:07:26 AM) |
Haven't played a single MM/X game. So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |
Oh Dva is banned Thanks god for getting rid of another awful user wololo |
ShatteredElysium posted... Well eventually it will do that, I just don't know how long that process takes and I'm impatient The results will be published January 1st. They will show the kind of entry for every user as well as their prize. It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |
Oh
that's nice then. I wonder if they will contact me before then as it
said something about a 10 day period to claim your prize in the rules Nevermind, re-read and I see that it says they will contact prize winners on Jan 1st (edited 12/17/2018 4:52:15 PM) |

KamikazePotato
posted 2018 x-stats setting Link to 50%. I made a set of
adjusted-standings that allow you to make comparisons between the 2013
stats and the 2018 stats. The traditional way to adjust the 2018
x-stats appropriately is to eliminate the outliers and then do least
squares (or an average) of what is left. I would like to suggest that
is a bad idea. If you look at each character individually, you will see
that a LOT of characters have fallen in popularity. To remedy that
situation, I removed all characters who appeared to have dropped
significantly since 2013. From the characters that remained, Sub-Zero
seemed to be the best fit as a constant between '13 and '18. However,
given that KKP has given Sonic's division adjusted pretty low, perhaps
using Sub-Zero isn't the best idea. Instead, I will use Crono as the
constant. Here's how I extrapolated some of the characters that made the Legends bracket: Zelda - through Cloud Mario - through Cloud Tifa - through Mario/Sephiroth and Tifa/Sephiroth Samus - through Tifa Snake - through Zelda Sonic - through Snake Crono - through Alucard/Cloud, Alucard/Bowser, and Bowser/Crono Mega Man - through Crono/Mega Man Ganondorf - through Mega Man By contrast...actually, I don't really know much about what how KKP did the stats! Congrats to Advokaiser on pwning me in CBX! (edited 12/17/2018 11:22:12 PM) |
Here
are the 2018 Link-adjusted x-stats. Note that Link's 2013 x-stat is
52.23%, so Link 2018 is expected to get somewhere around 54.7% on Link
2013. Again, Crono is the constant here.

Zelda
was adjusted via her projected results against Aeris, Ramza, and Fox. I
ignored the Link match and pretty much everything she had after Snake
because she got way stronger after that match. Sonic's division wasn't adjusted lower than normal. Sonic and Auron just did consistently bad. Sub-Zero (who was one of the constants I used) didn't end up too far away from where he usually is, so I think it turned out okay. The other ones took a lot more adjusting than I have time to talk about. It wasn't as simple as 'Mario through Cloud' because a lot of the Legends matches were this gaping pit of bandwagons, revenge votes, SFF, and non-transitive results. Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
