Board 8 > Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1347

(+) Yeah! (+)

Uhhh, that's the exact opposite of what I was looking for, HGSS and NieR.

---

Nier is looking good

---

Pokemon taking no prisoners...

Pokmon is amazing.

nah pokemon sucks. Older pokemon games have been decent but the franchise as a whole can fuck off. Absolute 0 evolution and one of the laziest designed AAA series.

theres a reason why people nominated heart gold over the newer shite.

FFXIV's playerbase is sizable enough to rally if you can get them to care about this more then they do about male viera.

I wish. I'd get all 4 right. I think it's way too big of a deficit to be likely to change, though.

---

Rough update, for sure.

---

HGSS top 5 game of the decade

Suck my gyarados

---

Nier vs Skyrim is gonna be a crazy board vote btw. I wouldn't feel confident even if Nier is up 10% at the freeze

---

Back in those early contests, ppl didn't know Alucard was Dracula backwards, that his first VG appearance was CV3, and that his concept didn't originate from videogames. Perhaps they still don't know about some of those...

---

I don't actually think Pokemon looks especially good here if you're using "I wanna beat Skyrim" as a goal, but it doesn't look like it's dropping next round.

I've never even played any pokemon game or animal crossing game, despite having had all Nintendo consoles.

nier has to get past pokemon first

also can you imagine a persona 5/ skyrim board vote?lol

So MK8 is the most under-seeded game in the whole contest right

I bet it looks really good next round.

---

So is today the last day of 4 matches a day?

i mean pokemon was never ever beating skyrim.

yeah which makes rallies more likely for 2 matches a day

It was either that or 2enoblade, so anything Batman does against TLOU next round will speak for 2enoblade. I guess RE7 counts too.

define "really good"

do you expect it to break 40%?

it just beat up on a couple of weak brand names

how did the black and white games didn't make it into this contest? i thought those games were revered

What a strange take, everything we have seen from Nier shows that it will have zero problem with Pokemon next round, especially since the shitty remake of a game that came out in 2000 will finally go up against something with strength, and won't get all the "eh, I guess I'll vote for it since I recognize the name" votes anymore.

i mean what are we talking here..imo xenoblade 1 is underseeded because its going to be the only non 1 or 2 seed to win its division and win it comfortably.

Hey bt overwatch beats xenoblade right

I'd go as far as saying that The Witcher and NieR have been possibly the two best looking games so far

Don't forget 2B and Geralt were the most impressive new characters in the last contest!

if skyrim lets MK8 break 40 on it it should forfeit the next round

Nier is underperforming a little compared to what its Round 1 performance against Bayonetta 2 projected. And that's assuming it doesn't drop further, which seems unlikely.

and octopath "should" still be alive, so that was big time under-seeded. it obviously didn't legit lose that last battle it was in.

Yes, we switch over to 2 matches per day tomorrow night.

@creativename

If your updater hasn't been set up for the switch to 2 matches per day, you should do it right now. Poll ID 8011 marks the start of 2 matches per day.

What'd I say

only Pokemon fans care about black and white. and judging by the abysmal performances by non nostalgic pokemon games...im going to go ahead and say there isnt that many hardcore pokemon fans on this site as much as their use to be. Aton of people just casually play them

I love how people are acting like it's fact that game A will beat game B. If it was, everyone would have every pick correct right now. But nobody does.

skyrim and Pokmon shooting up

i mean divinity 2 is a hugely respected game and got a switch port recently.

there's the first big Skyrim update

Is this using a constant Bayonetta 2 though? Curious because I highly doubt we have that.

5 minute overreactions ftl

Hard to imagine a scenario that Rayman is stronger than Divinity Original Sin 2... but then again, it is Gamefaqs and they like their character platformers.

for certain matches yes. Mk8 isnt beating skyrim. We can say that for certain. Matches like nier and pokemon are up in the air

Ain't no one taking it over Rayman bruh

It didn't break 70 on the weakest game of 2015

---

Yuri_LowelI posted...

i dont care. I just want it to take out the pokemon trash so that we can forget this awful franchise for good.

That's never gonna happen after what happened with Sword/Shield, I'm afraid. Pokmon has become Nintendo's FIFA and Call of Duty now.

"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."

Just now saw this sig. You're proof of someone who can be awesome despite clearly not believing in any politics I would. Thanks for that, seriously.

The sig statement is like looking at yourself in the mirror and then denying you see a reflection of yourself, with the rationalization being that you do not exist. Better to be in a trash can than to be in full denial.

Yeah, shots fired >_>

Based on current percentage and normal votals, how many rally votes does FF need to catch up?

There is a very active subreddit

I'm sure there's an active forum for FF hentai too if you want to go ahead and completely sell out

lol final fantasy pt. 2

Mario Kart 8 is dropping percentage like crazy. Talk about intense board votes.

2015 stats dont mean much to me. Certain games have gotten stronger. Hearthstone could be one of them. We all know one game that is significnatly stronger than 2015...two games actually

The one good thing about backing NieR right now is that it's not completely out of the question. Who would have called Ys and Meat Boy being a tossup?

I'm not rallying, but I'm sure Zen is already prepping his Tim Allen censored Y'shtola x Ryne hentai

Hearthstone has no reason to be stronger, it's not a GameFAQs type game...
