People
are forgetting that Horizon Zero Dawn, Nier Automata and Persona 5 were
relatively close in strength in their respective GOTY poll. It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |
Big Bob posted... Fortnite's not popular on a site like GameFAQs (unless a rally takes over). Horizon's got that match pretty easily. SotN is strong enough to easily win that division. If Bloodstained is anything like SotN, it makes it to BotW before bowing out respectfully. In reality, Bloodstained looks more like this: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7643-halfway-through-2019-what-is-your-pick-for-game-of-the-year https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7829-best-of-2019-playstation-4 I think it has a chance to win the 4 pack but it won't be easy and going further depends on ME2 and Fallout 4 collapsing (which is possible). Link isn't the only one who kicks ass. Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Contest! |
Am I crazy in thinking A Link Between Worlds can possibly beat Smash Ultimate in Round 2? It is the LAW remember... Smash Ultimate has faded a bit also, people aren't playing it as much. Advokaiser |
how many people are still playing LBW |
LeonhartFour posted... how many people are still playing LBW no one, but they might have nostalgia. I remember it got a 10 rating in Game Informer Advokaiser |
I literally wrote a book on Bloodstained. I liked it that much. It’s got no chance. Too many issues at launch and people were PISSED over a single player game getting things nerfed.

Advokaiser posted... People are forgetting that Horizon Zero Dawn, Nier Automata and Persona 5 were relatively close in strength in their respective GOTY poll.Horizon was decently close to Persona, and Nier was decently close to Horizon, but that doesn't mean Nier was actually decently close to Persona. Persona almost doubled Nier, though I'd chalk that up more to overlap than anything, plus I expect Nier to have gained a fair bit of ground since then. "I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people who do." You won the CBX Guru Contest, Advokaiser! Bully for you! |
SuperNiceDog posted... Am I crazy in thinking A Link Between Worlds can possibly beat Smash Ultimate in Round 2? It is the LAW remember... It does sound crazy, but: SSB Melee (2015g) has a strength of 38.28 against Base Link. A Link to the Past (2015g) has a strength of 42.68 against Base Link. A Link to the Past wins with 55.15% of the vote! Congrats to Advokaiser, the new Guru champ! |
Advokaiser posted... People are forgetting that Horizon Zero Dawn, Nier Automata and Persona 5 were relatively close in strength in their respective GOTY poll. GOTY polls mean jack. Persona is considerably stronger than horizon now. Id say nier is a step above too. if you use GOTY polls to determine level of strength. God of war makes the Final. (edited 3/7/2020 11:48:00 PM) |
scaryice posted... It does sound crazy, but: on what planet is ABW = Lltp? link between worlds was decent. Its not even in the same stratosphere as Lttp. plus its a 3ds game. Doesnt matter if its zelda game. The only smash game LbW would beat is smash 4 3ds version. law only applies |
It's literally the sequel to LTTP. Congrats to Advokaiser, the new Guru champ! |
Well it also came out 20+ years later and they can be played independently of each other Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
scaryice posted... It's literally the sequel to LTTP. and as we all know sequels are always exactly as popular |
And no one talks about it. "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
LeonhartFour posted... how many people are still playing LBW I'm not but a while ago I went to listen to its soundtrack on Youtube. |
ZeldaTPLink posted... I'm not but a while ago I went to listen to its soundtrack on Youtube. hhahahaha yesss. I remember how critically acclaimed A Link Between World was back in 2013... some thought it was the game of the year back then. Maybe those nostalgia pangs will come back. Still I think it'll probably lose to Smash Ulti, like 45-55, but I think it's within the margin of error Advokaiser |
I wish people liked ALBW as much as its hypothetical power IMO it's the best 2D Zelda and the best of the like four Zelda games released last decade But yeah it'll get crushed by Smash Ultimate RIP in Pieces GamerJM, 2007-2015. You will be missed. #UnPermabanJim (edited 3/8/2020 8:41:08 AM) |
I
don't think it will get "crushed" by Ultimate. If ALBW's strength is as
firm as it was in 2013, then we can have a nice 55-45 match. It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |
I wish we had more data on Link's Awakening, because that's a much better expectation to have for LBW than using LttP. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, Advokaiser, the 2018 Guru Contest winner. |
Apparently the contest start date has been changed from March 13th to March 19th. And remember, midnight UTC March 19th actually means March 18th in the Americas. |
Even the GameFAQs contest isn't safe from the Coronavirus, it seems! PaulG235 | "But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant." This line is currently being vacanted by supreme Guru Advokaiser |
That's gonna make for some weird stats if there's an outbreak in certain states mid-contest. Come watch me on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/gameryogi |

Favorite Mario character poll today: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7898- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! |

So God of War or Witcher 3? What do you guys have? Video Games are pretty cool. |
Witcher 3. Would like to see the upset, but I think Witcher 3 is going to look really good. Division 4 is the one I keep going back to the most and I can't decide. Not matter what game I pick to get out it looks wrong. First round is surprisingly easy considering how tough it gets later. There are at least 4 games that could make it out of there, though at least Ultimate beats them all easily. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to Advokaiser, the winner of the Character Battle X guru contest. |
Division 4 is annoying. Between GTAV, RDR, P4G, Xenoblade, and FE:TH. Not sure who the overall winner for that division would be. Video Games are pretty cool. |
Stats
say GTAV. Of course, given how GTAV (online) was directly responsible
for Rockstar not making any single player content for five years, it may
well have dropped. It getting the 1 seed over the RDRs gives me a bit
more confidence though. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser |
GTAV
is hard to use previous stats for on top of that, because it's unclear
to what amount SMRPG bandwagoned, and it's really hard to pick GTA in
anything debatable. Like, in particular if you have GTAV facing one of three RPGS. That has San Andreas vs Golden Sun written all over it.

I can't bring myself to pick RDR over GTAV, and I'm even more convinced of RDR beating P4G. "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
I was tempted to just take GTA 5 in that match because it's the most likely of the 3 to actually be there. |
Trollblade74 posted... Where/when does picture talk usually happen?The is usually a dedicated picsmith topic. That probably won't be up until SBAllen announces he is accepting user-created match pics, which, if the last few contests are anything to go by, won't happen until a few rounds into the contest. Meanwhile, feel free to discuss anything related to the contest in this topic. |
Hmm...Mario
finishing 2nd in this poll usually means good things for his strength.
The last time he did was 2006, after the big Nintendo boost. |
There
could very well have been another Nintendo boost after the release of
the Switch, since the 2015 version of this poll was pre-Switch and
during the darkest years for Nintendo. But even then, Mario has gained
less than 1% compared to the 2015 poll and is only ahead of Luigi due to
him dropping 3% since 2015. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! |

see they're a real rivalry after all. shoulda beaten the trainers all along [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO Advokaiser NO PEACE] |
AxemRedRanger posted... see they're a real rivalry after all. I'm just glad they contributed to keeping Cecil winless...! |
Yoshi>Mario on the next character contest confirmed. So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? |

Leonhart4 posted... Haven't seen an outside site care about an ordinary POTD since Battletoads! This poll got rallied hard: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/4666- There was somewhere in the range of about 12000 rallied votes in that poll by my estimates. I even have poll updates for it right here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oTfuHQCScXD3ee557WFAJbJM7PclHrDL1QKyWXuVANc/pub The time periods featuring detectable levels of rallying are shown in light blue. AxemRedRanger posted... waluigi rally detected The rally seems to be working based on the poll graphs for this poll. The largest increase in Waluigi's percentage seems to be happening after 12:00 PM EST (rally topic was posted at 11:46 AM).

ctesjbuvf posted... GTAV is hard to use previous stats for on top of that, because it's unclear to what amount SMRPG bandwagoned, and it's really hard to pick GTA in anything debatable. Let's not forget San Andreas got beat by Chrono Cross. I have FE Three Houses > P4G in the division finals. I don't believe in anything Rockstar on this site. ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ (edited 3/10/2020 2:05:05 PM) |
Is Ultimate really that much stronger than Odyssey or do you people think it has a chance? I'm itching to pick Odyssey cuz I feel pike gamefaqs doesn't care about multiplayer anymore but it seems that is a very unpopular pick. |
SuperNiceDog posted... Am I crazy in thinking A Link Between Worlds can possibly beat Smash Ultimate in Round 2? It is the LAW remember... Smash should win that 60-40. I can't see the best-selling game in the Smash franchise losing to a handheld game. Also, new Smash DLC could drop any week now. ZeldaTPLink posted... Is Ultimate really that much stronger than Odyssey or do you people think it has a chance? It's tricky because Odyssey got overshadowed in 2017 by BotW in the GotY poll. Not a bad upset pick, especially when you think about Mario > Smash in the Series contest. If you believe voters prefer Mario to Smash, go for it. Personally I picked Ultimate > Odyssey without a second thought. Now I'm wondering. ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ |
