LusterSoldier 09/14/17 7:37:38 PM #378 | charmander6000 posted... Melee taking an almost 7 point drop makes it harder to compare the performance of the other games. If we adjust Melee's performance in 2014 to match today and proportionally redistribute extra votes to the other games Metroid Prime becomes the biggest winner going from an adjusted 15.09% to 16.45%. Other games to have risen include Eternal Darkness (+0.47), Wind Waker (+0.45), Paper Mario TTYD (+0.29) and Super Mario Sunshine (+0.05). Outside of Melee Tales of Symphonia had the largest drop going from an adjusted 13.44% to 11.96%. Other games to have dropped include Pikmin (-0.75), Path of Radiance (-0.36) and Animal Crossing (-0.03). Another way to look at the performance of the other games is to look at how much they've improved relative to Melee. I made this image showing what Melee got against each game from the 2014 and 2017 polls: The 2017 poll results are unconfirmed at this point since the poll is still in progress. From that image, we can see that Metroid Prime gained the most on Melee (just slightly over 10% improvement). A total of 5 games improved by more than 5% on Melee. Only Pikmin actually got weaker in comparison to Melee. I think Melee's heavy overperformance in 2014 (close to a doubling on Zelda) was probably from Smash hype due to Smash 4's release being less than a month away for the 3DS version and about 2 months away for the Wii U version. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |

LusterSoldier 09/11/17 11:03:53 PM #58 | kateee posted... what is your stance on anthro forms? for this list, should the listed Pokemon be pictured as in official art and not pornography? The listed Pokemon is based on how they look in official art. I don't base any of my choices on how they look in anthro fanart. If a Pokemon doesn't already stand on 2 legs, a lot of rule 34 artists will turn the Pokemon into an anthro version for the purpose of giving them boobs and genitals. Now, it's possible for these artists to keep a Pokemon on 4 legs when doing rule 34 art, but it would be more awkward to see boobs hanging from the body near the front legs, so I can understand why they prefer doing an anthro version instead. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |

LusterSoldier 09/11/17 8:09:01 PM #47 | Zylothewolf posted... At least one of each type! Here's my list: Bug - Pheromosa Dark - Umbreon Dragon - Latias Electric - Luxray Fairy - Sylveon Fighting - Meloetta (Pirouette) Fire - Ninetales Flying - Togekiss Ghost - Froslass Grass - Roserade Ground - Nidoqueen Ice - Glaceon Normal - Audino Poison - Nidoqueen Psychic - Gardevoir Rock - Diancie Steel - Magearna Water - Primarina Some of these types were pretty hard to come up with an option for. Dark, Electric, Fire, and Ground were the most difficult to decide on due to very few options to choose from. Ground was such a weak type that I simply reused the same Pokemon I chose for Poison. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |

LusterSoldier 09/08/17 7:36:48 PM #340 | FFVII finished with an ownership rate of 66.72% in yesterday's poll. In fact, FFVII's ownership rate has actually increased over the past 6 years. This is the history of FFVII's ownership rate: 1/31/2012 - 57.92% 1/31/2016 - 63.85% 1/31/2017 - 65.45% 9/7/2017 - 66.72% It's quite interesting to see an increase in ownership rate over the past few years, though I guess you can blame that on the PS4 and Steam releases. When we had a playrate poll back in 2016, I attempted to use the playrate result to figure out the difference between the playrate when compared to the ownership rate of the 2016 poll. The assumption was made that the playrate at the time of the 2016 ownership poll would be equal to the playrate in the actual playrate poll later in the year. This produced a difference of 4.54% between the playrate and ownership rate and then I applied that difference to the 2012 ownership poll to get a playrate estimate for early 2012. However, this estimate has issues of its own because as FFVII's ownership rate continues to increase, the disparity between ownership and playrate will become smaller. Instead, I came up with the idea of estimating the playrate based on changes in ownership rate. For example, there is a 5.93% increase in ownership in the 2016 poll vs. the 2012 poll. Using the playrate result of 77.28% from late 2016, this projects an estimated playrate of 71.35% for the 2012 ownership poll. History of FFVII's playrate: 5/8/2003 - 81.34% 11/5/2005 - 75.04% 7/22/2009 - 70.83% 1/31/2012 - 71.35% (extrapolated) 9/7/2016 - 77.28% 1/29/2017 - 77.76% 1/30/2017 - 76.79% 1/31/2017 - 78.46% 9/7/2017 - 78.93% (extrapolated) --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |

LusterSoldier 09/07/17 12:01:34 AM #328 | FFVII ownership poll today. This one is completely useless for determining an exact playrate, although a playrate poll from 2016 was compared to an ownership poll in the same year to calculate the difference between the playrate and ownership rate. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |

Topic | Let's see your favorite pokemon for each type! |
LusterSoldier 09/01/17 1:47:31 AM #67 | I finally made my list earlier. I avoided duplicates. Ground and Poison were the 2 weakest types for me. In fact, I had to choose a Poison type that was a better fit for its primary type since the primary type was already occupied by another Pokemon. For Flying, I considered picking Togekiss, except I view it as a better fit for Fairy instead of Flying (and Fairy is already occupied by another Pokemon). Skyridge87 posted...

LusterSoldier 08/28/17 9:34:21 PM #308 | Actually, that Super Mario Kart poll has some issues that prevent it from being used as a playrate poll. I made the previous post too soon before carefully reading the options first. The option "Not the original, but I own one of the later Mario Kart series games" does not say anything about whether or not you played the game. Some of the people who voted for that option might have played the game, but it's impossible to know for sure. At the very minimum, Super Mario Kart has a playrate of 64.10% and could even be as high as 92.61%. But no one would be crazy enough to think Super Mario Kart has a playrate above 90%. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! |

LusterSoldier 08/24/17 9:14:27 AM #293 | After 3 straight days of playrate polls, here are our new playrate results: BioShock - 60.39% Zelda 1 - 76.71% GoldenEye 007 - 78.24% BioShock has a higher playrate than I would have expected for a newer game (by GameFAQs standards). Zelda 1's playrate is only slightly lower than its highest recorded playrate of 76.98% (from the 2016 version of this poll). GoldenEye 007's playrate is higher than I would have expected, since it's roughly on par with FFVII's playrate.
