I still like Shadow the Hedgehog I have been more into visual novels and learning Japanese recently. With some fighting games and Switch games on the side. https://twitter.com/superange128 |

Witcher 3: The Hunt for GOTD |
This
match is part of the reason Magus got so overrated, since Tidus and
Shadow going 50/50 validated the xstats position of Tidus/Ganon/Magus. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2020 Guru contest winner. |
Well, if I did my math right, if ME3 is worth 60% on Halo Reach, then BotW is worth 60% on TW3 If ME3 doubles Halo Reach, then BotW = TW3 Advokaiser is the man. Congrats! |

Grand Theft Auto V vs. Cuphead Registered Vote Result: Grand Theft Auto V - 5713 (61.45%) Cuphead - 3584 (38.55%) Anonymous Vote Result: Grand Theft Auto V - 5024 (57.71%) Cuphead - 3681 (42.29%) Persona 4 Golden vs. Red Dead Redemption Registered Vote Result: Persona 4 Golden - 4595 (49.40%) Red Dead Redemption - 4706 (50.60%) Anonymous Vote Result: Persona 4 Golden - 4689 (53.87%) Red Dead Redemption - 4016 (46.13%) Xenoblade Chronicles vs. Overwatch Registered Vote Result: Xenoblade Chronicles - 6806 (73.16%) Overwatch - 2497 (26.84%) Anonymous Vote Result: Xenoblade Chronicles - 6411 (73.66%) Overwatch - 2293 (26.34%) Ori and the Blind Forest vs. Fire Emblem: Three Houses Registered Vote Result: Ori and the Blind Forest - 3491 (37.54%) Fire Emblem: Three Houses - 5809 (62.46%) Anonymous Vote Result: Ori and the Blind Forest - 3330 (38.25%) Fire Emblem: Three Houses - 5376 (61.75%) Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption were both big winners with the registered users, with GTAV doing a little bit under 4% better with registered users and RDR doing about 4.5% better. RDR outright won the registered user vote, but it didn't affect the overall result as P4G would have still won even without the registered user bonus.

Witcher 3 had to be the 1 Seed that had the biggest spread of opinions surrounding it pre-contest There were people (like me) that took it to be a bona fide finalist, there were people that thought it was going down in Round 3 against a game that lost to ME1, and there were plenty of people that thought it was going to lose every round in-between. If
you're only on this board to whine about "SJWs", please redirect
whatever you type on to the nearest trash can. And hop in after it. |
Very
good result from Witcher, but it's also the worst possible opponent
Mass Effect 3 could have drawn so I'm hesitant to draw big conclusions
from it. It's Reyn Time. |
I will say this. Breath of the Wild has been the most impressive game of this contest by a lot. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |

Any early predictions on Witcher 3 vs Galaxy 2? Switch FC: SW-6458-1694-2499 IGN:Vivek Collection: http://goo.gl/NmVTCn |
KamikazePotato posted...

Just how lucky is Witcher so far? (also hey there 84% update) Advokaiser is the man. Congrats! |
Can't believe GTAV did a lot better with registered users, lol. I... don't quite get it being so anti-voted by the board but still doing much better than with the casuals. It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. (edited 4/15/2020 5:56:18 PM) |
While
other games have been stomping on 'literally what' indies and general
fodder, Witcher has put its boot on the neck of big name-brand games.
Even with SFF these are still ridiculous results, Assassin's Creed and
especially ME3 would have won plenty of matches in this bracket. If
you're only on this board to whine about "SJWs", please redirect
whatever you type on to the nearest trash can. And hop in after it. |
I think Blood and Wine should have been in this contest and it would be hilarious to see it beating big games. |
Witcher
is going to win the contest and some people will say, "Yeah, but, it
keeps getting the best possible opponent. Just you wait until it faces
something real". The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history. |
Hey, @UltimaterializerX , I'm getting into the FPS genre for the first time, starting with Wolfenstein 3D and I'm having a blast. Is Doom Eternal really that good? How does it fare against other FPSs or id Software games? It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |
DoctorJimmy133 posted... Didn't people also say this about AC Odyssey? Just how lucky is Witcher so far?Hey, I said the same thing in the Crew topic pre-match so I'm not using revisionist history! Witcher is very strong, and could upend Skyrim, but there are caveats with its performances. Its opponents may have brand names but I don't trust Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Mass Effect 3 to do well at all against games people actually care about. With Mass Effect 3 especially you end up with a case of Revered WRPG vs. Extremely Easy to Anti-Vote WRPG. It's Reyn Time. (edited 4/15/2020 6:00:18 PM) |
DoctorJimmy133 posted... Didn't people also say this about AC Odyssey? Just how lucky is Witcher so far? I think the main difference seems to be that Witcher's results are coming from matches where its facing games of the same genre(and in odysseys case, a straight up inferior version of Witcher 3) so most objective voting would go to the better game, which is witcher. It's true test will come against galaxy 2 which is the polar opposite of witcher 3. That's why BoTW's demolition job of Halo is even more impressive.

Doom Eternal seems like a beast of FPS, i heard big praise about it. |

davidponte posted... Witcher is going to win the contest and some people will say, "Yeah, but, it keeps getting the best possible opponent. Just you wait until it faces something real". I don't think people will say that about SMG2 but I guess we'll see. Link isn't the only one who kicks ass. Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Contest! |
If
Witcher 3 kicks SMG2's face in then some alarms are to be sounded.
Especially since SMG2 seems a bit stronger this time around. This result
against Stardew is impressive. It's Reyn Time. |
Advokaiser posted... Can't believe GTAV did a lot better with registered users, lol.I say this every time this comes up, but you guys are so unaware of what a strange echo chamber this board is. "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and hellboy" - trancer1 lol xstats |
davidponte posted... Witcher is going to win the contest and some people will say, "Yeah, but, it keeps getting the best possible opponent. Just you wait until it faces something real".Im not trying to undersell witcher, I genuinely think its probably the 3rd strongest game in this tournament, behind BoTW and Smash(Maybe?). But its hard to make an objective analysis of its potential based on performances against games that inferior to it in its own genre.

KamikazePotato posted... Hey, I said the same thing in the Crew topic pre-match so I'm not using revisionist history! Yeah, I agree that ME3 is an anti-vote magnet, and now that I think about it, ME3 vs. Starcraft 2 was a "who am I supposed to anti-vote here?" kind of match. Though I think AC Odyssey is a respected game on its own and shouldn't be so weak. It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. (edited 4/15/2020 6:05:37 PM) |
KamikazePotato posted... If Witcher 3 kicks SMG2's face in then some alarms are to be sounded. Especially since SMG2 seems a bit stronger this time around. This result against Stardew is impressive.What's the percentage though? Im expecting something like 70-30. Switch FC: SW-6458-1694-2499 IGN:Vivek Collection: http://goo.gl/NmVTCn |
ShortReplies posted... I think Blood and Wine should have been in this contest and it would be hilarious to see it beating big games. Thats kind of stupid. Thats like saying lets put the BOTW DLC in it as well. |
raptor36000 posted... What's the percentage though?Considering that that's about what Ocarina of Time is projected to get on SMG2, then yes, if Witcher gets that it probably wins the contest. It's Reyn Time. |
Advokaiser posted... Yeah, I agree that ME3 is an anti-vote magnet, and now that I think about it, ME3 vs. Starcraft 2 was a "who am I supposed to anti-vote here?" kind of match.Only problem is this same logic applies to every contest appearance it's had, there's no reason for that to have changed, unless you think Andromeda was so bad that people retroactively started hating the original trilogy (which to be fair, may very well be true "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and hellboy" - trancer1 lol xstats |
Advokaiser posted... Yeah, I agree that ME3 is an anti-vote magnet, and now that I think about it, ME3 vs. Starcraft 2 was a "who am I supposed to anti-vote here?" kind of match. That match could be seen as just WRPGs been a more popular genre than RTS. Last finished: Big Adventure of Owata's Life (PC), Blasteroids (ARC), Asteroids (Atari 8 Bit), Space Invaders (NEC PC-98). |
I think Witcher 3 Vs SMG2 will be like 55-45 or 45-55, depends but its going to be really close. |
KamikazePotato posted... Considering that that's about what Ocarina of Time is projected to get on SMG2, then yes, if Witcher gets that it probably wins the contest.Ocarina of time would get more. Also I can see a lot of people antivoting BoTW just because of the praise it gets, and general dislike of nintendo dominance in contests, but I cant imagine anyone would antivote Witcher.

Impressively weak. Can't even triple a 2016 indie game. It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |

If nothing else Andromeda ripped the wound open again. Link isn't the only one who kicks ass. Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Contest! |

raptor36000 posted... What's the percentage though? LOL no f***ing way. Anything abov 64% is great for Witcher here. ITs still a mainline mario. If TW3 comes close to doubling SMG2. Then we might as well put it in the final now with BOTw and end the contest. |
Skyrim (2015g) VS Mario Galaxy 2 (2015g) Skyrim has a strength of 34.93. Mario Galaxy 2 has a strength of 27.47. Skyrim wins with 60.68% of the vote! Use this as you see fit. It's Reyn Time. |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... Only problem is this same logic applies to every contest appearance it's had, there's no reason for that to have changed, unless you think Andromeda was so bad that people retroactively started hating the original trilogy (which to be fair, may very well be true ME2's showings have proven otherwise! It's ME3 that's the weakest link by far. It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |
KamikazePotato posted... Very good result from Witcher, but it's also the worst possible opponent Mass Effect 3 could have drawn so I'm hesitant to draw big conclusions from it. I mean, we've said this two rounds in a row to downplay its performances! I don't know that this is a stronger Galaxy 2. Witcher 3 has faced two AAA games and Galaxy 2 has faced perhaps the weakest game in the bracket and indie Harvest Moon. I'm glad it's put up two good numbers but I'm afraid Witcher 3 is going to clean its clock. |
KamikazePotato posted... Skyrim (2015g) VS Mario Galaxy 2 (2015g)can you send me the site that calculates this? please. |
From the previous topic... Yeah, Skyrim is f***ed. Dark Souls has a better chance of upsetting Witcher than Skyrim does. If Witcher is doing this to one (still pretty popular) Western game, the only true danger it faces before Zelda is a shot from Japan. All other Western games are going to crumble in front of it. So my Persona 5 > Witcher 3 upset lives on? >_> <_< Game of the Decade 2 - Current Score: 86/96 Today's Picks: Witcher 3, SMG2, F:NV, GoW |
ShortReplies posted... I think Witcher 3 Vs SMG2 will be like 55-45 or 45-55, depends but its going to be really close. SMG2 will be lucky to hit 40. |
To be fair Skyrim in 2015> Skyrim in 2020. Also to be fair SMG2 in 2015> SMG2 in 2020. Switch FC: SW-6458-1694-2499 IGN:Vivek Collection: http://goo.gl/NmVTCn |
