Breath of the Wild to win by less than 66.62% |
a man can dream Advokaiser won the Guru. I did not. |
Also,
holy s*** at Mortal Kombat 11. We set some new standards for
turbofodder this year, expecting the weakest games to be exclusively
comprised of niche cult classics, yet somehow a household name franchise
ended up slumming it out with Obra Dinn and INSIDE. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, azuarc, winner of Game of the Decade! |
MK11
is probably a combination of Smash/Odyssey SFF (and then Zelda/Smash
SFF) and Mario being the king of apathy votes with forced voting (edited 5/12/2020 7:22:27 PM) |
Sonic Mania – 22.70% Kingdom Hearts III – 22.64% f*** i would have loved this match (|| ' ' ||) drooling while eating . /|_|\ |
the fact that Sonic Mania avoids the quadrupling against BOTW is a massive victory for us imhotbqh |
Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn – 22.59% Final Fantasy XV – 19.76% Congrats to FF14 for being the FF game of the decade. Link isn't the only one who kicks ass. Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Contest! |
LeonhartFour posted... the fact that Sonic Mania avoids the quadrupling against BOTW is a massive victory for us imhotbqhThe chain of matches leading to Sonic Mania's xstat value is completely devoid of fanbase overlap too, so it's a more reliable number than most of this bracket will get! It's Reyn Time. (edited 5/12/2020 7:29:18 PM) |
LeonhartFour posted... Super Mario Galaxy 2 – 32.04% This is totally how these matches would go. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, azuarc, winner of Game of the Decade! |
Mario
Odyssey being behind Galaxy 2 in the x-stats is clearly because it was
behind 2 layers of SFF. By the time any adjustments are made, I imagine
Mario Odyssey ends up slightly ahead of Galaxy 2. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! |
Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft – 10.85% Fortnite – 10.84% Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective – 10.77% The Stanley Parable – 10.64% Night in the Woods – 10.56% Baba Is You – 10.52% Crusader Kings II – 10.44% Dying Light – 10.41% Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair – 10.16% What Remains of Edith Finch – 10.02% Slay the Spire – 9.91% The Witness – 9.78% Dota 2 – 9.65% The Talos Principle – 8.71% Return of the Obra Dinn – 8.17% Mortal Kombat 11 – 7.97% INSIDE – 7.13% This is not the accurate number for Hearthstone, due to the Divinity rally. Please adjust to 0.00%. Thank you. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest I never lie, but I never tell the truth: http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx |
Okay I will allow for 0.01%. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest I never lie, but I never tell the truth: http://www.twitch.tv/ultimaterializerx |
The SFF is strong in these X-Stats. Last
finished: Galaga '88 (Sharp X68000), Big Adventure of Owata's Life
(PC), Blasteroids (ARC), Asteroids (Atari 8 Bit), Space Invaders (NEC
PC-98). |
Link wields the Master SFF. 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 |
snake_5036 posted... It turns out when you finally stop recycling several year old tropes, players love getting something different!Tell that to Paper Mario Kotetsu534 posted... I think a really good classic Zelda would have been huge and won the contest anyway (or maybe TW3 could win it 50.5-49.5) - BOTW being what it is just removed all doubt and took it to the next level. Skyward Sword was a bit of a whiff (out very late in Wii life cycle, motion controls, felt rather sparse and a little rough) so it'd basically been a decade since a really clean landing for a mainline Zelda.Disliking a game doesn't mean you can pretend it doesn't exist. There were five Zelda games released between Twilight Princess and Breath of the Wild. (edited 5/12/2020 9:47:27 PM) |
Nintendogs posted... Tell that to Paper Mario The something different has to be good, which is something that most Paper Mario games in the past 15 years have not achieved. Advokaiser picked Cloud in Guru and rained on my bracket. At least I finished 20th overall! |
swirIdude posted... The something different has to be good, which is something that most Paper Mario games in the past 15 years have not achieved.Yeah. It means that players want something good before wanting something different. BTW @Leonhart4 , what result is needed for INSIDE = Return of the Obra Dinn? These are our candidates for last place after all. |
BOTW would need 64.53% for Return of the Obra Dinn to be last, so INSIDE has it locked up. |
Team Rocket Elite posted... Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn – 22.59% Bravely Default is higher than both, though... Patience. |
UltimaterializerX posted... This is not the accurate number for Hearthstone, due to the Divinity rally. Please adjust to 0.00%. Thank you.I cannot wait to see your rants against Hearthstone, Kingdom Hearts and Mario Kart when you write your contest analysis. |
I have made it in the top 10 in 7th! Go BOTW! 7th on GOTD Leaderboard! |
vote totals are really high in this match, really high. Both sides are rallying hard. Azuarc is the 2020 Guru GOTD 2 Contest Champion! |
Remember when Zelda vs Carmen Sandiego drew 120,000 votes =( Yoblazer: Congratulating azuarc on a great Guru victory! https://imgur.com/gByqgPg |
CaptainOfCrush posted... Remember when Zelda vs Carmen Sandiego drew 120,000 votes =(I was thinking about this the other day when I ended up on the Board 8 fandom, and I saw Joanna Dark vs. Cortana drawing 100K.

Pre-contest
people were talking smack about Borderlands 2 as a fraud and the
weakest GotY winner. It has in fact kept most of its 2015 strength, and
not counting P4G has only fallen behind Xenoblade for 2012 games. Instead those titles go to FFXV. It is behind Doom, Uncharted 4, and Stardew Valley, and Pokémon Sun/Moon aren’t even in the contest. It could now be as low as fifth for 2016. It better be glad MW2 exists to stop it from being the weakest GotY winner ever! I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser |
Wow, Witcher actually made a few cuts this hour. Looks like an easy 40% for Witcher 3 even if Zelda does better during the day. Pretty good performance for it. https://imgur.com/6aYmEPY You can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him (edited 5/13/2020 12:43:06 AM) |
I
don't know that it cares, unless there is some cash in it. Witchers
aren't used to winning popularity contests. Plus, it would probably be
off with some hot sorceresses having fun. "Evolution is a 'theory', just like gravity. If you don't like it, go jump off a bridge" |
Witcher's
going to carve up this percentage over the next several hours. It's
going to end up doing quite well for the bottom half of the bracket.
They'll definitely be inflated in the stats, particularly when coupled
with the Zelda-led SFF chain in the top half. Yoblazer: Congratulating azuarc on a great Guru victory! https://imgur.com/gByqgPg |
What are the chances kotaku reporting on the persona 2 guide is bringing more eyes to the site right now https://kotaku.com/persona-2-guide-written-in-2011-gets-one-hell-of-an-u-1843430262 (edited 5/13/2020 1:00:11 AM) |
Woke up, checked the results. Man USA REALLY doens't like Witcher. Witcher there is 39 and in UK it is 50! So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing? Nice job Hylian Knight 3, you were better than me in the Guru Contest! |
Safer_777 posted... Woke up, checked the results. What did you expect. America worships Nintendo. |
As
I said yeseterday, favoring a game in every match until the finals does
not mean they don't like it. It's been doing better in Europe in every
match it has been in. It's just loved more in Europe. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to Advokaiser, the winner of the Character Battle X guru contest. |
Witcher 3 straight up won the last hour by 39 votes. its crazy how strong it is in these hours |
Safer_777 posted... Woke up, checked the results.It's really the exact opposite. Europe LOVES Witcher 3. I don't think there's a single entity it would lose the dead zone to. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, azuarc, winner of Game of the Decade! |
shane15 posted... What did you expect. America worships Nintendo. UK is also probably the developed nation with the most history and animosity against Asians in general. Cherish me (edited 5/13/2020 3:23:47 AM) |
The
registered user bonus is boosting BotW quite significantly here. If
the results were based on just the raw votes, BotW would only have
56.01%. It's currently sitting at 57.00% once the registered user bonus
is factored in. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! |
WesternMedia posted... UK is also probably the developed nation with the most history and animosity against Asians in general.Nope. We were just much more a Mega Drive/Commodore 64 country. As such we werent raised by our SNES or N64 and dont have nostalgia blinkers for everything 'ninty Still loved BOTW of course, but because it is a great game, not cause I think Link is great 'character' or I am loyal to the Zelda series. "Evolution is a 'theory', just like gravity. If you don't like it, go jump off a bridge" (edited 5/13/2020 3:33:07 AM) |
Not liking Nintendo as much is animosity against Asians, right |
Looks
like i had Zelda winning this one with 64%. Even if i'd sat down and
thought it though i'd have probably still only gone with 60% lowest. |
I
had Zelda > Persona 5 with 59 in second chance. To me, I just
couldn't imagine BoTW running roughshod over anything that managed to
get here, be it Skyrim, Dark Souls, Witcher 3, or Persona 5. The
bracket was seemingly designed that the finalist would be on some level
of bandwagon, particularly after the break was over, no matter which
game it was. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, azuarc, winner of Game of the Decade! |
This puts to bed the who is the #2 for the bracket. witcher would have made the final regardless of who was in its half outside of BOTW obviously. Smash would have been destroyed in europe by Witcher and i dont think its raw strength is even stronger than it. |
CaptainOfCrush posted... Witcher's going to carve up this percentage over the next several hours. It's going to end up doing quite well for the bottom half of the bracket. They'll definitely be inflated in the stats, particularly when coupled with the Zelda-led SFF chain in the top half. anything to make sure Persona 5 ends up Top 5. |
ctesjbuvf posted... Neither Zelda game in the contest have been in a contest here before. It would be weird to remove BotW based on assumptions imo, even if they're good assumptions.We already knew the outcome. Why bother with a contest when it isn't a contest |
The bottom half of the bracket was always gonna be the main bracket because of what was in the top half. |
So
the closest thing weve had to any CDprojecktRed staff taking notice of
this contest is Hollie Bennet a uk marketing head for CDPR liking a
tweet about the Final. Its not a retweet and its not going to have much
of an effect but its some acknowledgement i guess. She has over 80k
followers https://twitter.com/HollieB |
Dfy556 posted... We already knew the outcome. Why bother with a contest when it isn't a contest because we get MM vs BOTW also a GOTD2 makes sense. Doesnt matter if we know BOTW is gonna win. Let it prove itself. This is a games site and our tradition has been these contests. |
WesternMedia posted... UK is also probably the developed nation with the most history and animosity against Asians in general. WTF ...No? Not even remotely? What would even make somebody say that. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser |
Western media strikes again I was the final Undisputed Champion in UCA history, but azuarc was our Guru Champion! |
