Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1357

Can't believe people are desperate in trying to claim some sort of Western SFF between Witcher 3 and f***ing God of War. Absolutely ridiculous. IF your'e going to claim that then theres SFF between FF and Zelda.

And with how low votals are on this site..SFF exists in virtually every match up.

I'm seriously guessing noone has played these games and just like to talk out of their arse

God of War is doing as expected. It would definitely lose to SMG2.

This. It's just people overrating God of War and underrating DQXI. It's the first time both of those games are in one of these contests

Yeah, as someone who's been dishing it on Mass Effect's chances this contest, it did what it needed to do. First, it got a 1-seed. After that, it beat down this contest's toughest 16-seed -- the first of two major Resident Evil games it'd have to face. Then it beat down a game way worse than Witcher 3 could in 2015. ME2 didn't stop there -- it went on beat a game that beat a GotY-winner, and most recently it beat our latest GotY-winner. We generally knew this division was contentious and it survived it.

If you thought ME2 was going to fail due to ME3's reception, we saw ME3 was closer to ME2 than Starcraft 2 was to Starcraft 1. It did all it was asked to do there too.

I still think we never got to see ME2's strength at its highest peak (pre-ME3), and as someone who barely dabbled in these games it still sounds like the ME-series has had a true fall from grace when that trilogy was arguably on its way to be our medium's biggest contribution since the Ocarina of Time. Regardless, this didn't stop the series one bit with the paths it had this contest and all we have left to see is how it compares to Dragon Quest 11 when it faces Breath of the Wild -- just as it was before the contest began.

ME2 had a great contest. It was one of the stars imo

Agreed about ME2. So many people downplayed it. Despite the series going to the s***ter and votals becoming lower and lower its great for what is a genuine GOTD type game to do well here.

i love ME2 and im glad its in the Quarters. Same with Persona 5 and Xenoblade.

the board vote difference in Skyrim vs Pokemon is gonna be crazy

That Skyrim board vote strikes again

Yup, Skyrim board vote is BAAAAAAAAAAAD

Pokemon tripling skyrim in the open.

Good job

Skyrim already above 20%

Brutal board vote against Skyrim

lmao that Pokemon board vote.
getting f***ing doubled at the start, holy s***.

I'm calling it now. Pokemon still leads at the freeze.

that board vote

TLOU is putting up a fight.

Skyrim is already almost tied with Pokemon. This could end up a 60% beating by the end if Pokemon can't even lead at the freeze.

also Dark Souls looks bad especially with these TLOU leaks and the fact that it should have brackets

I'd love to see TLOU actually win this

think i’m more worried about dark souls losing than skyrim

That Skyrim board vote against Witcher is going to be Brutal

YAY STILL TOP 10

for .... not much longer

If this match ends up within 2%, Dark Souls is really lucky those leaks happened.

fus ro dah

and Skyrim takes the lead

this isn't gonna be pretty

Skyrim is already tying with Pokemon. This shouldnt be so bad after all.

Skyrim already taking the lead.

I'm in the 99th percentile for the second chance. Didn't expect that to happen

and Dark Souls is leaving TLOU in the dust right as I say that

Skyrim leads.

I saw it tied at 156 votes each

the leaks arent part of the board vote. Give it time. The antivotes are coming

Skyrim tied 177-177.

I really need to stop going against favorites in debatable matches. Of course Dark Souls is a better game, but Last of Us “looked better”. Ugh.

My memory is fuzzy (which is sad) but didn't this exact same thing happen against Mario Kart a few days ago? Skyrim stormed back after an abysmal opening 30 seconds but didn't rise nearly as much as we thought.

SKYRIM with the LEAD!

Took a few minutes to take the lead during the board vote, and ended up nearly 61% by the end

Another tie at 226 each

It got up to 53% by the freeze and rose to nearly 61%

it's definitely going way up from here, especially since Pokemon has one of the best board votes around

I don't think Skyrim's overall board vote will be as bad here as in previous rounds. Too many people have it in their brackets & second chance and know that this match isn't guaranteed.

Skyrim was 53% at the freeze against MK and still rose 8%

Now wouldn't it be something if MK8 > HGSS?

Im on the leaderboards for second chance after Perfect scores for persona and witcher. Nice.

no way in hell is MK8 beating HGSS. Nier would comfortably beat Mk8 too.

Dark Souls and Skyrim both pulling away already, that was quick.

This honestly wouldn’t floor me.

Also as a reminder, assuming constant MGS5 and Last of Us, Dark Souls is projected to get 55% here. Take from that what you will.

theyre both exercising for the ULTIMATE battle.

Going by the early board vote, looks like Mario Kart and Pokemon are pretty similar strength

Oh it has a shot at Skyrim for sure.

i still think the antivotes will kick in.

Respectable performance by HGSS. Pokémon series ain’t dead.

2nd overall? That's crazy for someone who generally does awful in Oracle.

I don't think I'll be keeping my 2nd placing after today, and won't even be on the leader board after tomorrow, so I'll enjoy it for 24 hours.
