KamikazePotato 05/09/20 5:02:46 PM #14:	This isn't a response to any recent post in particular, but it always baffles me when random new users come into the stats topic and start treating it like their personal opinion blog. They have this hot take on a game they want to get off their chest, and instead of making a topic about it they choose Contest Stats and Discussion #1359 (what is wrong with us) as a launching point. So then you get pages like this: B8er #1 - deeply inhales Game 1 is really disappointing today. I thought for sure that they would get 55%, but at the moment they only have 54.95%. When you consider Crono/Vincent trends and the current phase of the moon, this could easily be the a Turd of the Round performance. B8er #2 - pushes up glasses ACHKtually, due to the BBQ factor I think it's more than reasonable that Game 1 would underperform slightly. Here, I wrote a 2000 word essay explai- New Guy - "WHY ARE THEY EVEN RUNNING THIS CONTEST. EVERYONE KNOWS FINAL FANTASY AND FORTNITE WILL WIN. ALSO THE GAME THAT IS CURRENTLY WINNING TODAY IS TRASH AND EVERYONE WHO VOTED FOR IT HAS NO TASTE" --- It's Reyn Time. <cite>KamikazePotato posted [p:938890466] in Contest St...

Advokaiser 05/09/20 5:43:48 PM #18:	So I just informed the most hardcore Dark Souls fangirl I know of to vote in (less than) 3 hours, and how it has come as far as the Quarterfinals. She's a really, really cool girl that gives her followers a lot of love and virtual cookies. We call her "Ta Gaby" (Aunt Gaby). She was fast in responding to my Facebook inbox about it, which shows just how cool she is. This isn't a rally attempt or anything, it's just me wanting to make her show her love for the Soulsborne franchise. (Why didn't I inform her since the start of the contest, though?!) By the way, she also says that Dark Souls II is trash. --- It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. <cite>Advokaiser posted [p:938892392] in Contest St...

CaptainOfCrush 05/09/20 6:06:29 PM #21:	I think the big three Nintendo games would all beat Prime via SFF. Hell, maybe LBW would manage a win. It would hold its own against the other notable entrants, namely Witcher and Skyrim, and could possibly beat them, but it would be bolstered by the inherent strength GameFAQs breathes into Nintendo when it's up against the big bad west. I'm curious as to why Metroid Prime has seemingly become the "old versus new" measuring stick we've often used in this topic, as I personally doubt it's aged well. The Prime series has been dormant for 13 years. The last major Metroid release was ten years ago, and it was Other M. It might be because we think there are like 10 SNES-era games that would slaughter this entire bracket apart from BotW... and if that's the case, we may be right. --- Yoblazer https://imgur.com/gByqgPg <cite>CaptainOfCrush posted [p:938893531] in Contest St...

Of Nintendo's major Gamecube-era titles Metroid Prime hasn't had much reason to waver much; it's a very unique game that has yet to been replicated (by Nintendo or otherwise), so it can't be held against anything more recent, either positively or negatively.

KamikazePotato 05/09/20 6:29:17 PM #35:	So I saw some people in the last topic trying to make a Top 10 in this contest, and I feel like I'd rather make tiers because of how big the strength gap is between the top and close-to-top games. WITHOUT ranking within tiers: Breath of the Wild Witcher 3 Persona 5 Dark Souls Smash Ultimate Super Mario Odyssey Skyrim God of War Dragon Quest XI Mass Effect 2 Resident Evil 2 Xenoblade Persona 4 Portal 2 The Last of Us Mario Kart 8 Pokemon HeartGold Nier Automata Red Dead Redemption 1/2 Grand Theft Auto V Fallout: New Vegas Super Mario Galaxy 2 I think you can make a lot of debatable matches with the games within each grouping. Some probably will object to me putting God of War on its own plateau but I don't trust that Witcher 3 matchup result at all. --- It's Reyn Time. <cite>KamikazePotato posted [p:938894658] in Contest St...

HaRRicH 05/09/20 6:42:42 PM #45:	I would take MP to beat LoZ:LBW and Xenoblade...maaaaaybe SMO, who knows.. Metroid as a series isn't so active anymore, but Metroid Prime was ahead of its time for years after its release and there aren't a lot of Nintendo games I would take to beat it that released ever since it came out. NINTENDO GAMES THAT COULD BEAT METROID PRIME SINCE MP RELEASED: LoZ: TP (close), WW (maybe), BotW Smash: Brawl (once upon a time, anyway.....), SSBU Mario: SMO (close) Mario Kart: nope Pokemon: nope Xenoblade: likely not Animal Crossing: nope Splatoon: nope Wii Sports: nope Project S.T.E.A.M.: did you remember Nintendo once made Abraham Lincoln a playable character? Maybe I'm forgetting something, but that's only two games I'm confident takes MP out of the past eighteen years. MP was big enough to earn a trilogy and tease a fourth release on the Switch to great avail. Super Metroid thrashed SMG and took LoZ:MM to the brink while Samus went toe-to-toe against Mario in our last contest. Metroid would do worse in a Series Contest now, but I don't think people here have forgotten the impact of Metroid Prime. --- 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 <cite>HaRRicH posted [p:938895292] in Contest St...
