https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/1353-north-division-semifinal-link-vs-magus Probably the most significant overperformance by a losing entrant in contest history. The repercussions of this match launched a thousand arguments and were felt for years afterward. Magus losing to literally a bag of sand isn't nearly as hilarious without this result. ~*creativename's contest site*~ http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/drupal/ ~*The Board 8 Wiki (lots of useful contest and board information, including all past Post-Contest Analyses*~ https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page ~*List of All Polls (a search bar is at the bottom)*~ http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html ~*NGamer64's Archive Sites (good stuff!) and (LOL) X-Stats Sim*~ http://www.thengamer.com/ http://thengamer.com/xstats ~*GameFAQs Contests Hall of Fame*~ https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/GameFAQs_Contests_Hall_of_Fame https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/GameFAQs_Contests_Match_Hall_of_Fame ~*Closest Wire-To-Wire Matches*~ https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Closest_Wire-to-Wire_Matches ~*All-Time Guru List*~ https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/All_Time_Guru_Rankings ~*Most Surprising Results*~ https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Most_Surprising_Results ~*Contest Histories*~ https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Contest_Histories ~*All the Match Pics*~ http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery/index.php ~*Daily Vote Trends - An Explanation for Dummies*~ https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Daily_Vote_Trends ~*Leonhart4's Trend Charts*~ https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?hl=en&key=tOGmynfNIiNy5VukpEF-PdA&hl=en#gid=0 ~*Simple Explanation of Extrapolated Standings*~ A = Strongest Character B = Character Weaker than A C = Character Weaker than B To figure out a character's extrapolated percentage ---> [(CvB)(BvA)]/50 = CvA To compare how C would do against B ---> [(CvA)/(BvA)]*50 = CvB To figure out how B would do against A ---> [(CvA)/(CvB)]*50 = BvA |
I remember that we talked on this board that Magus was the only one with a chance to beat Link. Good times... I just realized that I was 15 then so it means I’ve been on this board for more than half of my life. Damn I’m old. Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. Advokaiser >Me (edited 4/24/2020 2:09:20 PM) |
It's funny how Magus came so far from that and still had an extremely impressive result. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to Advokaiser, the winner of the Character Battle X guru contest. |
Also the origin of the original Noble Nine argument with that performance earning Magus the 9th spot in the 2003 X-Stats. xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
Rockstar games have bad board votes |
Yay a Sega game in the top 16 and maybe even in the top 8. It about damn time! Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. Advokaiser >Me |
Uhhh, I'm not liking Portal 2 being 55-45 against a Rockstar game in the early vote. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2020 Guru contest winner. |
Oh s*** RDR isn't dead in the water, it might actually have a shot. The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history. |
Never trust Rockstar in a close match. |
Zylothewolf posted... Yay a Sega game in the top 16 and maybe even in the top 8. It about damn time! what the hell are you smoking? Do no associate persona with sega |
Portal 2 pulling away again. Yuri_LowelI posted... Do no associate persona with sega why not Sega owns it |
LeonhartFour posted... Never trust Rockstar in a close match. against a jrpg no. Portal 2 might be a different story |
Alright give me that good first update. The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history. |
GTAV already baited me with that better-than-expected early vote. Fool me once... It's Reyn Time. |
LeonhartFour posted... Portal 2 pulling away again. nah atlus own it. Sega just publish it in the west. i mean were grasping at straws here |
KamikazePotato posted... GTAV already baited me with that better-than-expected early vote. Fool me once... main difference is that GTAV was the bracket favorite on the board RDR2 is not |
KamikazePotato posted... GTAV already baited me with that better-than-expected early vote. Fool me once... RDR2 could be stronger than GTAV.... |
5
users fell off the Top 50. eaglesarebeasts, PerSonaPort, PlasmaKappa,
DMoCTTA and Isiah_Zombie got at least one match wrong last time. Link isn't the only one who kicks ass. Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Contest! |
I really hope RDR2 is able to pull this out. Portal is the one series I'll never understand the popularity for. https://imgur.com/6aYmEPY You can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him |
What do people expect for the first big update? i think persona ends up around 64%. Too many sonic and nintendo fanboys that will vote for sonic without even playing the gsmes |
I
think this is 52/48 or 53/47 but not enough to flip. it could though if
it has a brutal opening 5 minutes, but it didn’t change much those last
3ish minutes. add the c and back away iphonesience |
Yuri_LowelI posted... nah atlus own it. Sega just publish it in the west. Sega owns Atlus https://imgur.com/6aYmEPY You can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him |
5 minute X-Stats: Persona 5 – 50.00% Sonic Mania – 31.14% Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag – 28.94% Sid Meier’s Civilization V – 25.21% Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA – 23.21% Super Meat Boy – 21.90% Heavy Rain – 21.71% Slay the Spire – 13.60% Portal 2 – 50.00% Red Dead Redemption 2 – 44.10% Kingdom Hearts III – 37.64% Anima Crossing: New Leaf – 37.39% Tomb Raider – 34.71% Street Fighter V – 25.04% Disco Elysium – 24.04% Dying Light – 16.41% |
I do appreciate that no matter how the final stats shake out, Heavy Rain will look awful RIP Slay the Spire though It's Reyn Time. |
LeonhartFour posted... Kingdom Hearts III – 37.64%Would anyone have taken this upset, especially since we knew AC had potential to rise as the contest was starting. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2020 Guru contest winner. |
Huh, mostly the same. Not sure if it's more embarrassing that Super Meat Boy barely beats Heavy Rain or SFV barely beats Disco Elysium |
LamarJackson posted... I really hope RDR2 is able to pull this out. Portal is the one series I'll never understand the popularity for. it was an excellent novelty and premise. Portal 2 just built a more cohesive funny narrative behind it. RDR2 is one of the best and the most boring games this gen at times breathtaking and unparalleled . Other times laborious slow and painful to play |
Alright give me 100 more of those The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history. |
No shame in losing to Disco Elysium! Just because it's ultra weak here doesn't mean it should be! It's Reyn Time. |
Ok so how much does P5 get on TW3 |
LeonhartFour posted... Huh, mostly the same. i dont see how any of those are embarassing. Sfv beating anything is embarrassing. Awful awful game. Disco is highly regarded. I think it could take SFV |
ZeldaTPLink posted... Ok so how much does P5 get on TW3 Stardew Valley vs. Black Flag: Who ya got? Because they're basically equal if P5 and Witcher 3 are equal. |
RDR2 just gained 1.4% well damn. Portal 2 still wins probably but this could get really close. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser |
LeonhartFour posted... Stardew Valley vs. Black Flag: Who ya got? Because they're basically equal if P5 and Witcher 3 are equal. I have no idea, and that's what fascinates me. |
KamikazePotato posted... No shame in losing to Disco Elysium! Just because it's ultra weak here doesn't mean it should be! thats my point. Really respected game that pc only right now meanwhile s***efighter V is the absoute pinnacle of what a cash grab mediocre fighter is |
If assume constant SMG2 and Civ 5, Witcher 3 gets like 52%. It's Reyn Time. |
Lightning Strikes posted... RDR2 just gained 1.4% well damn. Portal 2 still wins probably but this could get really close. hopefully this puts a lid on the portal persona upset. |
48% had God of War, 65% had Witcher. |
yes keep bringing that percentage down Sonic Mania |
_SecretSquirrel posted... Would anyone have taken this upset, especially since we knew AC had potential to rise as the contest was starting. Who are you assuming is the favorite here? I would have thought of this as a tossup thanks to AC New Horizons . Advokaiser picked Cloud in Guru and rained on my bracket. At least I finished 20th overall! |
swirIdude posted... Who are you assuming is the favorite here? I would have thought of this as a tossup thanks to AC New Horizons .Kingdom Hearts III would definitely be my initial thought. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2020 Guru contest winner. |
Nah rise up Persona, I wanna see your quarterfinal match get debated! |
It's
tough for me to see Persona 5 beating Witcher 3. I do think Persona 5
has a much better shot than any other remaining game though. It's Reyn Time. |
Division 5 X-Stats: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – 50.00% Super Mario Galaxy 2 – 39.40% Stardew Valley – 28.30% Mass Effect 3 – 21.60% Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty – 17.01% Destiny – 16.32% Assassin’s Creed Odyssey – 15.93% Return of the Obra Dinn – 10.05% God of War – 50.00% Fallout: New Vegas – 44.73% Dark Souls III – 41.19% Nioh – 25.54% Dishonored – 24.77% The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth – 22.20% The Stanley Parable – 18.43% The Talos Principle – 15.08% |
I have 129 points so far, is this a good score? |
I can’t see RDR winning this. That game and Portal 2 barely moved on trends last round. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |
Portal 2 is just stuck at around 100 votes. |
I guess this might be the round where all the non-BotW monsters show some vulnerability. (I still think Dark Souls is going to massacre MGSSV) Yoblazer https://imgur.com/gByqgPg |
Dark Souls could massacre MGS5 and I wouldn't blink MGS5 vs Sonic Mania who ya got It's Reyn Time. |
