How would I do in a contest indeed?

Handsome Jack: Low Fodder - Borderlands 3 is closer than you'd think to being outright hated around here, judging by its average rating among other factors. As such, I'm inclined to think any bounce from its release has already dissipated, which leaves Jack with a weak base of popularity.

I agree with the rest of half_silver's votes.

The PS4 version is a Beta, it's not the full game.

The PS4/PC version is absolutely a fully-featured game, it's just that the Switch version adds a whole bunch of content.

Broly: Mid Fodder - Axem is correct about the new movie's North American distribution, and at any rate, if only the biggest of 2019 games make a noticeable difference here, why would movies be any different?

Mask: Low Fodder

Paratroopa: Mid Fodder - I'm still not convinced GameFAQs cares much about generic Mario enemies, and the regular Koopa simply feels more like a spinoff mainstay and someone with a distinct fanbase.

AxemRedRanger posted...

Gotta say though. Goomba being Fodder line and Koopa Troopa being mid fodder don't go together well for me, I don't think there's a big gap at all.

I agree with this, but in the opposite direction. Nominate Goomba for re-ranking.

Also, nominate Nier (Gestalt).

While I've found Dragon Quest XI more than worth the $40 I spent on it several months ago, as it turns out, I could have waited just a few weeks to buy it for $30 instead. Since I didn't play it in the intervening period, that makes my itchy trigger finger the closest thing I have to a gaming purchase regret this year.

I'll agree with all three of Axem's votes.

To comment on Hans briefly: Jar-Jar isn't a relevant comparison here because he's slowly but steadily becoming ironically well-liked, whereas Die Hard has been Die Hard for ages. At the same time, people care enough about Die Hard and remember Hans himself well enough that LAW Fodder shouldn't be a serious consideration.

I'll also nominate Ariel for re-ranking. Simply put, I believe her current ranking overestimates how much GameFAQs cares and is willing to vote for her and her movie - particularly since we have her over Belle, and her only advantage in comparison is a slightly more distinct/recognizable design.

Velociraptor: Low Fodder - Mid might have been a lowball for the T-Rex in retrospect. As strong as the nostalgia is, though, I'm still not convinced people care about the former, and the Velociraptor won't be on par with that.

Chiaki: Low Fodder - I actually think Chiaki's concept and design are very appealing to certain segments of GameFAQs, but it doesn't matter, since it's a Danganrompa character we're talking about.

Mecha-Godzilla: Low Fodder - Same verse as the Velociraptor, though Godzilla has quite a bit less nostalgia, in turn for more people still caring about the franchise here.

This scenario pre-assumes that the Supermen are real, but by stating that it's real earth, it factors out kryptonite.

Travis: Mid Fodder - His past results are actually passable, if you can look past losing to a low-level rally; Mid Fodder is about where his doubling by 2013 Kratos puts him, and I see no compelling reason for that to change.

Starscream: Mid Fodder - Probably around the same level as Bumblebee and Megatron? I think Transformers does a good enough job at hitting GameFAQs' ideal nostalgia spot that Optimus won't be the only Transformer with any semblance of strength.

Togepi: Mid Fodder - I wish I could go lower, but it's a notable Johto Pokmon with a prominent, non-hated anime role. That's almost certainly good enough to outmatch the dregs.

Mordin Solus: Agree with High Fodder, only because he looked surprisingly good in 2013, almost breaking 40% on Epona with Niko Bellic as the third wheel. Chances are his strength will have taken a minor hit in the interim like Garrus, rather than the major hit series symbol Shepard suffered.

V: Low Fodder - Strike one: his generic grimdark design looks basically nothing like Dante. Strike two: GameFAQs didn't really take to his game in the first place. Strike three: said game is almost a year old by now, so the new character halo has probably faded by now.

Soma Cruz: High Fodder - He already looked not-awful against Snake in 2006, especially if SFF was a factor, and that year saw Alucard's worst showing on record. These days, Castlevania is a big deal here, so I'm confident in pegging Soma as a major beneficiary compared to 2006.

Nominate Red Bird (Angry Birds).

Bloody Mary


Hi! I'm Mary, but all of my friends call me Bloody Mary, hehe! I can't believe Halloween is almost here again. Ahhh, what a wonderful season, watching your favorite horror movies, seeing the color of the leaves change, PERFORMING BLACK MAGIC RITUALS ON UNSUSPECTING SOULS. Oh.... I'm sorry.... i didn't mean to get tense with you hehe. Don't be frightened. I'm sweet, I promise you hehe. Take a seat, I will show you some of my magic. Oh, I'm just sure you'll love it! My parents gave my show a standing ovation, ya know. BUT THEY DON'T DO MUCH OF ANYTHING ANYMORE. Oh, shucks, there I go again. Oh, I can be such a bother, can't I! Come in close, don't be afraid. Bloody Mary will make sure you are very comfortable amongst my pets. Touch the cold steel of my dagger, the hard-leather of my special book, AND DON'T YOU EVER ATTEMPT TO LEAVE ME!!!!!!!

Bloody Mary, real name Mary Holden, is a 19-year old American woman, adept in technological dark arts that combines magical theatrics with twisted variations of biotic and caduceus technology stolen from Mercy's research. She keeps her tech in a leather-bound spellbook, giving the illusion of real black magic as she summons creatures around her and drains health from enemies. When she was young, Mary had a huge passion for horror movies and would watch Junkenstein's Revenge on repeat around Halloween time. The portrayal of the Witch in particular inspired her pursuit of the dark arts. However, she also has a split-personality and was a troubled teen, often hurting her classmates in an escalating manner, until she eventually stabbed both a rival classmate and boy who Mary had a crush on but resented for not going out with her. Mary's parents tried institutionalizing her, but she stabbed her parents too and fled. Tired, conflicted, hungry, and desperate, Mary had a chance encounter with the infamous thief Sombra. Mary told Sombra about her past, and in exchange for helping Mary get the tools needed to become the dark sorcerer she dreamed of, Mary became a proxy agent for Sombra and used her threatening split-personality and new tech to become a forced to be reckoned with. Despite this, there's still a part of Mary that resents what's she's become, as she struggles between the sweet and sour sides of her personality.

Artemis


"Hello hello! That's me! Artemis! I might seem like an adorable little pup, but I've got this really cool power that lets me grow huge and crush all of the bad guys that get in my way! Right now, my friends and I are trying to bring Gotham back together after it has turned into a pretty big mess. Along with being able to grow big, I've also got the ability to speak so that's probably why this uh... little message thing I'm making for you all isn't just in barks, haha. Luckily, I'm still able to communicate with my animal friends. Patch and Isis are my closest friends and I would do anything to protect them. When I'm not running around Gotham with my friends and trying to put it back together, some of the things I enjoy are dancing and performing! I would really love one day to own a little theater where I can perform for people and make them applaud for me. If you bring me eggs to eat, I will love you forever.

Please bring me eggie bois, okay?"

The Basics
- Artemis is a one and a half year old Pomeranian Mix
- His normal size is about a foot and a half tall, roughly weighing about 15-20 pounds
- Due to his powers, he can grow up to 10 feet tall currently but one of his most common forms while walking around is his wolf sized form which is about 3 and a half feet tall, roughly 150 pounds.

Some backstory:

Artemis as a young pup was taken away to a laboratory owned by Kirk Langstrom, better known as Man-Bat. There he was tortured and tested on day after day, along with many other animals and creatures. Unlike many of the others that had been brought in, Artemis managed to survive these tests and eventually found that he had these new powers. One of being able to grow to a much bigger size, and the other, to be able to communicate using the English language. He eventually was able to escape Kirk's grasp but had to abandon the friends and family he had made while he was confined there. He made new friends after becoming part of a group that would one day set out to bring Gotham together... but they were mostly all humans... something he probably won't ever be able to be entirely comfortable with.

Later on, as Artemis and his friends start to piece Gotham back together, they were able to locate some of Artemis's closest friends in another laboratory. While both Isis and Nina were alive to be rescued, many of the others that he had known and grown up with had perished.

Not too long after, Artemis met up with Patch, a rat who had also escaped the lab but had returned to Artemis to tell them where Isis and Nina were located. While Artemis did indeed have human friends, there was no way that any of those relationships would be as strong as the ones with his animal friends.

Artemis began to quickly realize that while he could be friendly with humans, his trust in them was ever fleeting. There is something in his mind that will not allow him to trust them completely. Artemis doesn't understand that he has a pretty serious case of PTSD due to mos

If OoT actually DID face against Tri Force Heroes on this site, would our percentages be close to that?

Like it would be a sight to see if OoT broke 99%, but I think the nature of GameFAQs won't allow that to happen.

I suspect Tri Force Heroes would score a minimum of 5-10% from OoT antivotes alone.

I remember as of the aftermath of the 2015 contest people seemed to think Wind Waker and Twilight Princess were pretty close on gamefaqs and WW was actually placed just ahead in the x-stats. Do we think that's how it would still go?

Yes, I for one would take WW v TP to be a 50-50 match, and I would take the two games to score very similar percentages against most opponents.

Also Leon, I think you missed that Link's Awakening won that match over BotW. >_>

Wanglicious posted...

not sure what you mean by that. that there's more to the actual cost than its productions?

While that's true, there's also additional sources of revenue beyond theatrical release, which probably even out for a movie like Charlie's Angels. So no, that's not what I mean.

What I'm really getting at is that the theaters themselves return a significant share of theatrical revenues - typically, the studio takes home about 50% of a movie's domestic box office, 25% of its Chinese box office, and 40% of its box office everywhere else. Thus, a movie's box office will always need to double its production budget to break even, at the bare minimum.

I don't doubt it will be easy for Little Women to break even, but that's because it's relatively cheap and actually has an audience, not because its box office only needs to exceed its production budget to do so.
