Cool The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history. |
Please Please Don't let anime t****** decide these matches 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. |
So
is Persona 5 truly the beneficiary of the Sore Thumb Factor here? That
and Persona 4 has looked quite well in taking down western games. |
Western
games are only good at fighting other western games. Anything from
glorious Nippon is pure Indirect Strength vs. Indirect Strength, with
maybe a slight inflated edge to Japan for all we know. It's Reyn Time. |
KamikazePotato posted... Xenoblade went from losing to Donkey Kong Country 2 in 2015 to winning its own division. People are already impressed by that, but I think it's also being understated how incredibly well it held up against Ultimate. Nintendo SFF can be brutal, and even if we roll with the notion that it holds up better than 'traditional' Nintendo properties it still outperformed A Link Between Worlds by 6% and only underperformed Mario Odyssey by 4%. That's damn good, and overall it's come a long way.I'm super happy about Xenoblade staying above 40%. It also won most of Europe, which even if Smash is relatively weak in Europe suggests to me that the effect of Nintendo of America screwing Xenoblade over so hard still lingers. Yeah... Sorry. |

Anything from glorious Nippon is pure Indirect Strength vs. Indirect Strength, with maybe a slight inflated edge to Japan for all we know. does that really matter if you still have over 50% of the site willing to vote for Western games? They still win regardless of if they can't get big blowouts against Japanese games. https://imgur.com/6aYmEPY You can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him |
Xenoblade
being strong is good and all, but it's only relative strength. DKC2
would also be close to a top 10 game in this contest. xyzzy |
Nice to see Persona 5 putting up a great fight, I guess the upset wasn't too crazy after all. Game of the Decade 2 - Current Score: 244/288 Today's Picks: Persona 5 and Skyrim |

well,
Fire Emblem has fallen off this year compared to 2015. Xenoblade is a
little stronger and probably beats DKC2, but it isn't some 60-40 match
or anything. xyzzy |
transience posted... Xenoblade being strong is good and all, but it's only relative strength. DKC2 would also be close to a top 10 game in this contest.Is the same true for Sonic 2? Portal 2 lost to that game, making people think that Portal became weak. |
witcher is just directly a alot stronger than persona 5. Its also more available on other rplatforms. like is said. If persona was on the same amount of platforms as dark souls /witcher / skyrim. This fourpack would be Persona’s little b****. |
LeonhartFour posted... X-Stats, part 2: LMAO Donkey Kong. What the f*** |
Nintendogs posted... Is the same true for Sonic 2? Portal 2 lost to that game, making people think that Portal became weak.Pretty much anything from the SNES/Genesis era that is strong enough to get enough nominations to make the 2015 contest is bruising through this side of the field. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2020 Guru contest winner. |
Fus Ro Dah indeed. transience posted... Xenoblade being strong is good and all, but it's only relative strength. DKC2 would also be close to a top 10 game in this contest. I actually think it wouldn’t, the top flight of this contest has proved itself. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser |
There's
no real evidence Fire Emblem has fallen. Awakening and Three Houses
just ran into opponents that were much stronger than before, and Three
Houses failed to reach the expectations we had but it's a new game
anyway. Xenoblade probably gets like 55-56%% on DKC2 now. It's Reyn Time. (edited 5/9/2020 5:39:39 PM) |
MithosLowell posted... LMAO Donkey Kong. What the f***Odyssey got mad SFF'D. You look at that result and think that DK actually DID run into an Odyssey SFF buzzsaw. Yoblazer https://imgur.com/gByqgPg |
charmander6000 posted... Nice to see Persona 5 putting up a great fight, I guess the upset wasn't too crazy after all. I think it's all downhill from here. Person's board vote is usually incredible and it spat out pretty successful rallies from the get go. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to Advokaiser, the winner of the Character Battle X guru contest. |
transience posted... Xenoblade being strong is good and all, but it's only relative strength. DKC2 would also be close to a top 10 game in this contest.Dunno about that, it didn't exactly blow out Fire Emblem: Awakening. Xenoblade on the other hand clobbered Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Three Houses actually scored a tiny bit less on Xenoblade than Xenoblade scored on Smash Ultimate (40,36% VS 40,39%). Yeah... Sorry. |
That's it, Persona. Stay in the fight. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2020 Guru contest winner. |
Lightning Strikes posted... Fus Ro Dah indeed. i think any respected SNEs GAME does really well. You stick a mario world or FF6 in this contest it gets to BOTW. |
There might not be clear evidence of Fire Emblem falling, but I'd be surprised if Smash fans wasn't antivoting them. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to Advokaiser, the winner of the Character Battle X guru contest. |
yeah, Souls is done https://imgur.com/6aYmEPY You can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him |
Nintendogs posted... Is the same true for Sonic 2? Portal 2 lost to that game, making people think that Portal became weak. yeah, I think people really underestimate how weak this contest is because we're comparing relative strengths. I said it in my crew writeup so sorry for repeating, but this match is the only four games out of the bottom 64 that actually belong in a big boy game contest. you could have some fodder like Galaxy 2, Mass Effect 3 or whatever but the only games that actually belong are these four. it reminds me of the 2005 contest, where Mario went to town and Link/Cloud/Seph were relegated to the tournament of champions bracket. Mario whipped everyone so bad that we thought he had a legit shot at Sephiroth.. and then he just got destroyed, just like in 2003. xyzzy (edited 5/9/2020 5:42:23 PM) |

ZeldaTPLink posted... Top 10 worst ageing posts of 2020The Persona fanbase doesn't go down without a fight. Geralt's gonna have to sweat this one out if he is to survive. |
If theres a Rally for Persona. Witcher isnt going to be allowed to just run away whit This the End game saga of the contest now. You bring all your f***ing A guns. If Geralt wants to win he has to fight for his Life. |

The latest GoW is unquestionably the strongest in its series - stronger than the original, which has had success here in the past. Yoblazer https://imgur.com/gByqgPg |
maybe. I don't think very highly of God of War, and Last of Us looks to be weaker than Mario Kart 8. xyzzy |
Maybe tropical freeze would have been more successful if Nintendo didn’t try to package a 5 year old game for 60 bucks I live on, THROUGH THIS SEASHELL! VI |
ZeldaTPLink posted... Top 10 worst ageing posts of 2020 Lol well, it is still early. I doubt it's close by the end unless I really underestimate the rallies. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to Advokaiser, the winner of the Character Battle X guru contest. |
KamikazePotato posted... There's no real evidence Fire Emblem has fallen. Awakening and Three Houses just ran into opponents that were much stronger than before, and Three Houses failed to reach the expectations we had but it's a new game anyway.Xenoblade's place in the Nintendo hierarchy is an interesting question now. It utterly destroyed Splatoon 2, almost 60 percented Three Houses, and broke 40% on Smash Ultimate. I assume the GameFAQs Nintendo hierarchy is Zelda-Smash-Mario-Metroid (hell, Metroid might be over Mario nowadays), but after that, what Nintendo series would be above Xenoblade? Fire Emblem is certainly below it, that much is clear. Yeah... Sorry. |
Anclation posted... I assume the GameFAQs Nintendo hierarchy is Zelda-Smash-Mario-Metroid (hell, Metroid might be over Mario nowadays), but after that, what Nintendo series would be above Xenoblade? Fire Emblem is certainly below it, that much is clear. uhhh put Pokemon in there way above Metroid |
CaptainOfCrush posted... That's being pretty disrespectful toward God of War and The Last of Us. The latest GoW is unquestionably the strongest in its series - stronger than the original, which has had success here in the past.I don't know about GoW, but Last of Us was 50th place in the 2015 xstats. It's definitely something that comes to mind as a GotD only wonder. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2020 Guru contest winner. |
Well that was an update The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history. |
There's the big update Witcher 3 has been waiting for |
LiquidOshawott posted... Maybe tropical freeze would have been more successful if Nintendo didn’t try to package a 5 year old game for 60 bucks Thats Nintendo. The same company who remade LA and charged 60 bucks for a game you can 100% in less than 20 hours. DK is a great game. But its a wii u game. Thats the bottom line |
LeonhartFour posted... uhhh put Pokemon in there way above MetroidOh, forgot about Pokemon, guess the series is already dead to me, lol. Yeah, that's also above Xenoblade, though it will probably lose ground to the other top Nintendo series due to Game Freak's antics. Yeah... Sorry. |
I would take Fire Emblem over Metroid with 80% before I would take Metroid over Mario. Not a stinky alien. :( Nintendo Switch Code: SW-5719-6555-8388 |
PRAISE GERALDO Also this decade clearly has some big dogs. Also I feel that when you break it down by generation for the fourth and on the distribution of big boy games starts looking pretty even. Generations got a lot longer in the past 15 years after all. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser |
_SecretSquirrel posted... I don't know about GoW, but Last of Us was 50th place in the 2015 xstats.50th place makes it plenty worthy to enter a "real" games contest, and at least in the discussion if that contest were limited to 64 entrants. Yoblazer https://imgur.com/gByqgPg |
So you were all saying? Seriously, blasting its rallies from the get go and usual trends in mind, Persona needed to be ahead now. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to Advokaiser, the winner of the Character Battle X guru contest. |
LeonhartFour posted... uhhh put Pokemon in there way above Metroid the only pokemon game relevant is RBY metroid prime and super would best every other pokemon comfortably. in fact prime and super would beat most mario games that arent snes nes or n64 ones |
