RE2: I've got nothing more to say to you. ME2: How 'bout goodbye? |
After
BoTW, I think dark souls is the only game this round with a chance of
breaking 70% on its opponent, and that too because I expect last of us
to get heavily antivoted. Switch FC: SW-6458-1694-2499 IGN:Vivek Collection: http://goo.gl/NmVTCn (edited 5/5/2020 7:29:26 AM)report |
RE2 is gaining some traction i'm back |
Eh you think that this will matter? So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? Nice job Hylian Knight 3, you were better than me in the Guru Contest! |

where can you see the voting by country? |

mclovinreturns posted... RE2 is gaining some traction Not nearly enough to actually matter. Wouldn't mind it getting ME2 down to 51% since that's what I predicted. |
ME2 might get under 52% but RE2 would have to significantly cut to get it down to 51% |

Realistically I don't there's anything left with a chance of breaking 60 except maaaaaybe Witcher 3, and even then I don't think it happens. If

The Last of Us isn't Fortnite, it's not gonna get antivoted like that If you haven't heard, TLoU 2 has recently been generating quite a bit of controversy due to leaks. To put it mildly, a lot of people dislike the direction the story appears to go. "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." - John 16:33 |
I actually haven't heard 'cause I've been running from those leaks and all reactions to them like the plague. They can't be so bad that a 55-45 match turns into a 70-30... right? If

I
haven't followed a thing about those TLoU2 leaks, but a friend of mine
specifically is warning people against watching videos on TLoU2 because
YouTube is recommending some weird videos he doesn't want to watch now. The Algorithm Factor O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/ssb/images/0/0d/Sheik-Victory3-SSB4.png |

There's no way it hurts TLoU that much if anything. It's the first game here and most people that saw the leaks won't change their opinion about the first. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to Advokaiser, the winner of the Character Battle X guru contest. |
Those leaks will absolutely hurt, bro. Gamers are astute to these things nowadays. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx ; https://imgur.com/dsnL40n |
Leaks will hurt but only like 1-2% at most. Let's not go crazy here. It's Reyn Time. |
i think DS / TLoU will be around 60 / 40. due to the current situation with Naughty Dog..without that it'd be more like 55 - 45 also just noticed the poll of the day...this indicates Persona 5 could actually be stronger than Skyrim 1 on 1. i'm not entirely sure but i THINK this spread of games is affecting P5 negatively moreso than Skyrim. (especially FF5 which is the most direct case of SFF in the poll). and the difference between them is small enough for that to shift the results. |
Today's poll looks oddly good for Skyrim. It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. |
Advokaiser posted... Today's poll looks oddly good for Skyrim. In what sense? Persona 5 has closed the gap even more from just two years ago. |
Leonhart4 posted... In what sense? Persona 5 has closed the gap even more from just two years ago. Disgaea 5 was in the poll 2 years ago, which probably hurts Persona 5 more than Devil May Cry 5 today (FFV's percentage also went up from 2 years ago). And I disagree with the notation that Persona 5 is more hurt by other entrants than Skyrim. Here's a similar poll from 2014 with the "4" games and Persona 4 punched well above its weight: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5467-whats-your-all-time-favorite-4-game congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru |

We
see Mass Effect 2 doing exactly like it was supposed to despite
Andromeda and you're thinking The Last of Us fans flip completely on the
game because of a leak despite a lot of them avoiding the spoilers. KP is probably right about 1-2% and it wasn't winning regardless. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to Advokaiser, the winner of the Character Battle X guru contest. |
it’s messed up that DQV isn’t in the poll For your BK_Sheikah00. At least Kupo has class and doesn't MESSAGE the people -Dr Pizza |
If ME2 is constant between 2015 and now, Doom 2016 gets ~32% on MGS3. Which is not really that hard to believe honestly. "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
Yoshi somehow puts up better percent against the entire Mario cast than he does against just Link. I love it Advokaiser is the man. Congrats! |
It's
funny because Yoshi isn't even the second strongest Mario character
when it comes to these contest, possibly even 4th strongest. |

I'd
be amazed if it was more than a 2-3% swing. Do people not realize how
many votes it takes for it something to go from a 50-55 match to a 65-70
match? |
MechanicalWall posted...

It's definitely also the leaks themselves, but yeah, people are really overestimating how much damage it can do. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to Advokaiser, the winner of the Character Battle X guru contest. |

Old, but I just realized today's results keep SC from being last in its division We did it guys, we saved Estelle "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
This Zelda performance looks good for my "60% in the final" prediction. Now Dark Souls just has to get there. |
Gall posted... This Zelda performance looks good for my "60% in the final" prediction. Now Dark Souls just has to get there.I have the same prediction for Zelda in my second bracket Yah it suddenly looks a lot more vulnerable today but does anyone take Mario Galaxy 2 to obliterate DQXI, for instance? It takes a nutty scenario for Zelda to not stomp its way to the crown If

well, Smash wins the picture but that's to be expected I guess P4 wins the other one xyzzy |
_SecretSquirrel posted... https://gamefaqs1.cbsistatic.com/images/contest/gotd-r4/480957.jpgAnd they are up. I'll give Odyssey the nod for slight picture advantage, as Smash makes the mistake of cramming too much into too little space. Agent Triple Zero at your service!

Odyssey's picture is super plain I love that game and there is just zero hype from that picture (edited 5/5/2020 3:52:49 PM)report |
The invitation pic in the pic topic is better than what we got for the actual match, honestly You felt your sins weighing on your neck. |

We
see Mass Effect 2 doing exactly like it was supposed to despite
Andromeda and you're thinking The Last of Us fans flip completely on the
game because of a leak despite a lot of them avoiding the spoilers. Main thing going against TLoU is that the leak drama is happening right now. Andromeda was three years ago, whereas TLoU 2 is the game currently in hot water. Neil Druckmann, the game's lead, posted a video on YouTube yesterday that's currently sitting at close to 75% disliked, and if that sort of widespread antipathy is reflected here at all, it will at the very least swing a lot of neutral votes in favor of DS. I'm not saying it'll be a swing of 10% or more, but the game falling 5% or so below predictions seems likely. I'm saying this as someone who had TLoU winning the division, incidentally.
