Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1351

Yeah, GTA needs to really be gaining on percentage right now if its to have a chance, and it's not doing it.

Didn't even get 80% on Baba is You

Fraud Theft Auto V

Basically the same number of votes at this stage of the poll as yesterday (1927 v 1910) so probably no major rallies in effect.

If my Facebook feed is any indication, GTAV is a game where people take different cars and try to jump them over things.

There's some insane s*** you can do with the race creator.

This is proof the Vita was a successful system.

Since when was Xeno higher than FE in the pecking order

0:26 is the last update in P4G/RDR before RDR made its first cut.

At this point in GTAV/Cuphead, GTAV was struggling to gain %. It ended up increasing 4.5% from now to the end of the match.

All the GTAV haters clearly haven't spent any time on Twitch. The RP stuff on there is fantastic, and it's been a top 10 game on the site for awhile now because of it.

It blew up in the summer with almost all of the top viewers getting on it. It was #1 for a little while.

97% of the people who voted for it have never touched a Vita, let's be real

I don't know and it doesn't matter because Xenoblade wins lol

Since Xenoblade held up better against fellow Nintendo game DKC2 than FE did?

The original Xenoblade is basically the OoT of its series. It's much stronger than X and 2, so as a series, FE is still definitely ahead.

Let's not forget (sadly) that we saw how pathetic all non-Shulk Xenoblade characters were years ago.

RDR>GTA

No it means it had one of the best portable games of the last decade which also happens to be an enhanced port of a popular PS2 JRPG..

Probably Three Houses because I don't trust GTA, but with Fire Emblem stinking up this contest so much I don't trust Three Houses too much now either.

I bought a Vita when it came out and I hate that paperweight now but I refuse to get rid of it anyway.

P4G leads by +160 after 30 mins. Vs. RDR it was +164 at the same update.

Remember when Persona 4 couldn't beat GTAIV?

Any Decent JRPG will be higher than FE in the pecking order because people don't like SRPG's as much as Traditional RPG's.

Nice look for Red Dead. It really does have a bit of that respect factor.

Won't help it against Portal though!

The only reason I took P4G to lose to RDR and GTAV is because it had the scarlet letter of being a Vita port of a previous decade's game. It's winning right now, but I don't think it can pull rank on an actual loved game from this decade.

f*** yeah, Persona. GTA's entire series post 2 can go die a horrible death. I f***ing hate that s***.

So assuming Persona ekes out a win that suggests GTAV and RDR are indirectly equal...

GTAV vs RDR - what does the fanbase favor?

(please everyone I am starved for the validation)

I'm glad we now have decisive evidence of how badly the Byleth Smash reveal hurt Fire Emblem.

How many voters do you think haven't played either game, but know Three Houses from "The last DLC character in the pack of third party characters is....A FIRE EMBLEM CHARACTER LOL".

Genuinely the worst reveal in Smash history.

Golden Sun probably wouldn't have beaten GTASA in 2005 either. Fast Forward 5 years....

I think this puts Persona in the range where rallies can bail it out if needed

I’m just going to blame this on salty Smash players anti-voting anything FE related

I doubt it does anything. People don't give a s*** about Byleth

Also wouldn't it hurt Smash more? Like "f*** this Fire Emblem spin off fighting game trash" or something like that.

I gotta say a Vita port beating out the second best selling game of all time might be the most GameFAQs result we've had.

Neutral voters who like GTAV or Person 4 Golden but don't care about the other match are forced to vote in Xenoblade/Fire Emblem. The Byleth reveal gives those neutrals a strong reason to support not-Fire Emblem.

If P4G pulls this off it has to be one of the STARS of the contest.

And so begins the 23 hour bloodbath that is GTA vs Persona

Fare thee well

I don't think something like that would be very impactful at all (certainly not enough to change the games' fates against Bloodborne and XC).

By Neutral Voters i'm guessing you mean SMash fans who don't give two s***s about either Xeno or FE?

yeah probably. But Take Byleth announcement out. FE still doesn't win.

Xenoblade is just stronger this year. Don't think Byleth affected anything.

Corrin was the worst one. It was so lazy.

Also, Persona 4 was up by 161 against RDR 35 minutes in. It's up by 170 here. This is a little eerie. It also means Persona is winning, because there is no chance in hell Board 8 will allow Persona 4 to lose a close match against freaking Grand Theft Auto of all things.

(Nor should it. f*** Grand Theft Auto forever.)

People need to stop pulling the Sales card on GTAV.

yes it sold ridiculously well. But how many people care about it? Like I mean seriously Care about it like gamers care about BOTW or Witcher or even something like Persona 5.

You guys are smart enough to know how insufferably childish the Smash people are. You're insane if you think Fire Emblem doesn't get anti-votes.

Fire Emblem has always been a niche series. Obviously it's reached new heights, but that doesn't mean much when it was so low to start with.

FE has a Ceiling. Its an SRPG.

After the Xenoblade Switch Remake...Xenoblade is going to be a hell of a lot stronger.

I can see neutral Nintendo fans who are forced to vote in this poll and haven't played either games side with the one that doesn't have 8 characters in Smash.

Not saying people don't have fun with it. But its a hugely casual fanbase it has.

GTA, stop stalling. I don't care that you're in my bracket.

Go.

The f***.

Away.

To be Fair....Three houses and Xenoblade both have 1....lol

If I can get P4G > Xenoblade next round I'll have a perfect division...

>_>

<_<

What is this SRPG point Yuri keep bleeding on about? FFT would win this division handily
