Contest Stats & Discussion - Part 19
From: Heroic Mario | Posted: 5/26/2004 12:26:31 AM | Message Detail
A 110 vote lead is nothing to be excited about right now. Without even 30 minutes into the match it shouldn`t be the biggest of surprises to see FFVI out to a small lead. The closer we get to morning the faster and stronger ALttP is going to be.

This and Tactics strong showing has given me new confidence in FFVII's ability to win. I didn't think LttP would ever trail.

almost in hour in and FF6 still holds a 110-120 vote lead. the day vote will most likely go to LTTP, but at least i can be proud of FF6 keeping it close even if LTTP does come back. =)

I agree with that sentiment.

And... I do feel this match now paints FF7 as the contest's favourite. For the first time, I feel we have new, relevant evidence to the FF7/OoT match, and it favours FF7.

And I'd pick FFX to represent division 128, myself. But then, I love that game, and consider it FF's finest, and FF isn't the worst of series out there to begin with. Don't know why you hate it, Ulti. ;_;

I believe this match points to Adventure as the contest favorite.

Seriously, as I've said repeatedly, people are voting on the better game, not who is more fanboyish then another. The results from FFVI/LttP have no impact whatsoever on who the favorite is, and I believe that OoT has a better chance to win if LttP loses. While people may be voting on the better game, one must never underestimate fanboyism, and a loss here and a loss to Starcraft and a loss to SMB3 can put the entire Zelda community at their knees, and not around Link this time. Thier dreams of an all-Zelda FF have been dashed, and now there is a good chance they will not even have a Zelda game in the FF. They will rally like they've never rallied before, and pull out an upset, so to speak, over FFVII through the power of fanboyism.

Don't know why you hate it, Ulti. ;_;

A horrendous, and I mean a horrendous, storyline for 65% of the game. Sorry, but following around a weak-minded religious zealot around the world in such a linear manner is not my taste. Outside of Auron, Rikku, and Lulu, I cannot stand those characters. Wakka is a total imbecile, Yuna and Tidus... are Yuna and Tidus, Kimahri is the most bland and uninnovative character in the game, and the secondary villain looks like nothing more than a crossdressing Kefka. Then again, crossdressing may be the way to imitate Kefka, but that`s not the point.

I also couldn`t stand the battle system. If I`m an enemy that has suddenly been warped into a battle to the death with a bunch of zealots willing to throw their lives away for a meaningless cause, I`m not going to sit there and wait my turn to attack. I`m using every underhanded trick in the book to gain an advantage, even if it means stealing Yuna away and impregnating her with alien bug scum. The Sphere Grid was nice, but the game tries far too hard to throw the themes of water and spheres in your face. We aren`t in second grade here, we can understand subliminal symbolism.

Honestly, I find that entire game to be complete trash (outside of Blitzball, second only to Triple Triad as the best minigame ever) until you finish Home, when you finally learn of your purpose. I`m like Agent Smith, I need a purpose in order to move onward. Without one, I`m playing through a game with no thought process and nothing feeding into my abilities to analyse. For me, this is almost as bad as having my wang cut off. I need to be able to think and analyse things while playing an RPG. It is part of my livelihood, an overdone hobby if you will, and FFX brings up no need for me to give any intellectual thought whatsoever into the game until well over halfway through the damned thing.

And if this piece of **** represents the 128 bit division, all hell is breaking loose. Expect multiple fanfics of Yuna being abused in every way possible, Tidus receiving multiple sex changes due to not knowing what the hell he is, and Kimahri beating himself over the head with his stick.

From: irriadin | Posted: 5/26/2004 6:29:53 AM | Message Detail
Here are my thoughts of the current results.

Zelda: Alttp will most likely win today, with a vote total much higher than usual (already some 16000 votes, I think that's pretty good for a site redisign vote total). Zelda will not be able to beat Chrono Trigger. That, I think, is fairly obvious.

However, I don't think this says anything about the upcoming FF7 vs. OoT match. Using proxies and unproven evidence can only go so far; nothing is really revealed by that match-up but the games themselves. So, I think we're fooling ourselves by so callously dismissing Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The game has shown no signs of weakness yet, and to say that FF7 is the logical favorite now is pretty shortsided, in my opinion.

BTW, who is going to submit art for the next round? (speaking of what CJayC wrote on the front page.) I know I'm doing something for Ocarina of Time right now.

The only things that this match shows us are that Doom > Super Metroid and FFVI > CT. After all, LttP would do much better than this against CT. If FFVI pulls this one out, it has the division won.
From: Slowflake | Posted: 5/26/2004 6:35:14 AM | Message Detail
Umm... how about no? SFF for Super Metroid, and CT will probably beat LttP.

Today's Pick: Zelda over FF6
From: steve illumina | Posted: 5/26/2004 6:45:31 AM | Message Detail
Peeps of GameFAQ's! Do I have your attention?
All of you who dwell here and post away your lives! :) Well it's time for...the newly modernized...

Steve Illumina Speaks

Indeed it is so, the legendary and ever humorous commentary rages on from the soon to be 350 Karma Legend, to offer some lighthearted yet well-honed levity, here on this the stats thread... the one bastion of proven intelligence on this overly fanboy dominated board.

And so it proceeds, with the fanboy poster child hanging up yet another one... here in the Golden Age Division

ROUND 3: Match LIII (53...)

(1)Final Fantasy VII vs (4)Metal Gear Solid

Steve's Prediction: FFVII by 67%
Steve's Bracket: FFVII
LUE's Pick: "There is no greater love, than a fanboy's love for FFVII" -LUEshi
Upset Chances: Hahahahahahahahahaha Forget it.

Comments: After the Zelda/FF drama, comes a relaxation match, as the fanboy flag waves high when FFVII takes on Metal Gear Solid in the battle of 1997.

This match requires minimal analysis. Its FFVII, a Square RPG...THE RPG in the eyes of you know who, taking on the pride of the stealth action genre. Gee, this is tough...I gotta think hard here...but could it be...umm...FFVII winning? Yah, I think so.

The FFVII cults are growing in number now, but they are still not worried, for they know this match is a mere tuneup for Ocarina next week, their first of only two true threats to tourney dominance. Joining the "Square Squad, Aeris' Army, Barret's Brigade, Tifa's Babes, International brotherhood of Squaresoft, Vincent's Valentine Club and the Highwinders" are "The Shinra Union" and the newly formed "Order of the Orange Chocobo". Fanboys and fangirls, cosplayers and nerds, united in a common cause that no other game can boast: grassroots fanboy support! John Kerry would kill for this kind of support come November.

As for Snakey...well so long bro'...not even the cardboard box can help you now!

Historical Insights: Backed by tv commercials and a wave of marketing, FFVII revolutionized mainstream gaming like no other game since the days of Mario 3. It brought RPG's to the common gamer, and the old guard influence of the King of Platformers, the Blue Blur, and others began to subside to the modern trend of long fancy RPG's, violent mature rated games, and the like.

MGS: In 1997 this game mesmerized E3, for I was there to see it with my own eyes. It sold millions, spawned countless wannabes and created a genre. In a testament to its quality, only 1 sequel has been released, a 2nd coming. No need to churn them out eh?

Why FF Will Prevail: Voting blocks: Square fanboys will carry it, for they worship this like no other game. Period.

Why MGS Wont Prevail: It is respected, loved, and will be supported by those who love it, but its got no shot here. This is Freakin' Final Fanboyasy VII here, people!

Take a moment to remember...Super Nova! Still the best attack in any game I have ever played, and thats in 21 Years of gaming for me. Also remember the infamous cardboard box, one of the most unique items ever put in a game!

Probable Results: The blood of Jenova will flow over the corpse of the Solid one, by a comfy margin of votes. No matter the result, Ocarina will win posts will shoot up like Kentucky bluegrass in my backyard.

Random FF Quotes: "Aint no gettin off this train we're on!" -Barret, "Will you be my bodyguard?" -Aeris, "What about Aeris' dreams?" -Cloud, "Rate hike! Rate hike! Please include the Space Program in the budget!" -Palmer

All of a sudden, I hope you guys are right that Link to the Past is closer in popularity to Ocarina of Time than FFVI is to FFVII. It makes me feel better about a Final Fantasy VII victory.

With a sigh of relief, I feel we can comfortably say that talk of an all-Zelda Final Four can now be put to rest.

It won't be put to rest until a Zelda game loses, though I don't see any chance of an all-Zelda final four after this match. Chrono Trigger > FFVI around here and LttP isn't putting up a very good showing against the lesser of the two. My prediction of a no-Zelda final four seems more likely.

now there is a good chance they will not even have a Zelda game in the FF.

I still believe that there will be multiple Zelda games in the Final Four, however, the all-Zelda final four isn`t looking good at all right now.


Holy ****, where did THAT ONE come from?

I never figured it`d be so close either. <<

So much for an all-Zelda Final 4... CT's going to pound it. I mean, if LttP can only take the lead with the morning vote...

I think its pretty clear that Chrono Trigger is a favorite in the match, but I`m not going to throw out ALttP yet. It could be we overestimated ALttP and underestimated FFVI. Or one or the other, but right now CT has an obvious advantage. Then again I`m not going to say it has it locked up either.

"It could be we overestimated ALttP and underestimated FFVI."

You think? How 'bout a great big "DUH!" for HM everybody! Been telling you that since oh, I dunno, you started telling us that FF6 had no chance. And the voting is still close enough that by some odd chance LttP could take back the lead. It's not likely, but it could happen. This is why you simply should not just to conclusions based on unrelated bits of inconclusive "evidence". You will, no doubt, eventually stick your foot in your mouth like today has shown. Sure, you can get it correct occasionally, but there's no sense in risking it. I'd rather just play it cool in the middle than to stick myself out on a limb when there isn't much to go by UNLESS pure speculation can't be proven wrong until everyone has long ago forgotten that I brought it up :)

So people, don't jump to conclusions. This may have no bearing on FF7 vs. OoT what so ever. I told you last night I wouldn't even consider FF7 as the clear favorite unless 6 won, and it doesn't look like it will. Give 7 the edge, fine, but don't proclaim it champ yet. The same goes for CT. It looks set to win, but for all we know in a direct matchup CT could be the Kefka and FF6 could be the Crono. Okay, so that's not at all likely, but let's just wait til we see it, okay?

Why isn't that possible? Because Kefka isn't equal to Crono? That's a no ****ing brainer right there. No one in their right mind would think that he is. Kefka isn't even necessarily the strongest rep for FF6, and given the direction ceej has taken with the pictures so far he knows visually that Kefka isn't a vote winner. The fact is Kefk != FF6. Ohter than that we don't even KNOW where FF6 stands on anything until it goes into a match and proves it.

*** COMPARISONS GAME - Match #53 - (1) FINAL FANTASY 7 vs. (4) METAL GEAR SOLID ***

Sales

I'm not going to look at the numbers, FF7 is in the top 20 of all time with around 8 million, and MGS isn't even close.

- Advantage FF7.

Franchises

Golden rule: FF and Zelda > anything.

- Advantage FF7.

GameFAQs Status

Number of FAQs: FF7
Number of reviews: FF7
Average review score: MGS
Board activity: FF7

Yes, MGS wins the review score, thanks to a few really low reviews for FF7. But for the rest, it's a no contest.

- Advantage FF7.

Board Odds Project

PICKS (out of 102)
Final Fantasy 7 - 99
Metal Gear Solid - 1
Also picked: Final Fantasy Tactics (1), Dance Dance Revolution (1)

POINT VALUE
1. Final Fantasy 7 - 4006
14. Metal Gear Solid - 323

...And you expect me to say anything positive about MGS?

- Advantage FF7.

Previous Rounds

MGS had the second closest match of all time, against Final Fantasy... TACTICS!!! You, my good friend, need to grow even a single brain cell if you're even thinking for a split-second about who wins this category.

- Advantage FF7.

Summer Contests / Polls of the Day

Cloud = Champion.
Sephiroth = Finalist.
Snake = Division final loser.
MGS = Favorite Metal Gear game.
FF7 = Favorite Final Fantasy game.

Guess what? FF7 WINS AGAIN! IT'S A MIRACLE!!!

- Advantage FF7.

Intangibles

In the minds of some, Twin Snakes and the bracket vote may have given MGS the win over FFT, but it's totally going to lose one of these. And again a game whose fanboys cream their pants at the thought of it... Twin Snakes too is going splat.

- Advantage FF7.

Conclusion: A sweep? Come on! Even Tetris wasn't swept! To MGS' credit, it won't be beaten nearly as bad as Tetris.

Now that I said that, it's like I'm almost expecting MGS to look like Tetris.

SMB 3 vs. Zelda 1: Mario's pose in the slot game/match game vs. "Let's play money making game!". Well, I think it would be funny.
CT vs. LttP: Magus vs. Ganon, the rematch!
FF VII vs. OoT: Miss. Cloud. vs. Sheik.
Starcraft vs. whoever: Mass Carriers, duh.
Wind Waker vs. whoever: Cell-shade both pics.
FFX: Tidus getting hit by lightning.
SSBM: Sandbag.

o_O?

In my e-mail to CJayC, I told him that he didn`t have to do everything in the contest by himself, and that he could ask for our help. It`s not like we wouldn`t be willing to give it or anything.

*looks at the front page*

Petitions apparently do help. Interesting.

"Memo to self: If you ever have children, keep them away from smitelf."

That should simply be added to the laws of common sense. I swear the woman is going to eat her first child out of instinct.

The sheer number of people who are still overly confident in favor of LttP after this is saddening.

There are people on this board still confident in ALttP? I figured they would all be proclaiming Square`s domination by now. On a side note, I believe ALttP will still win but I`m far from as confident as I was last night. But with CT being the favorite that it is I`m surprised some of the board feels that way.

well, i can live with this result.
especially since chrono trigger probably is more popular than ff6...which would mean these are the last four points lttp is going to cost me.

hopefully this will show the zelda fanboys something they should've remembered all along:
never count out an ff game.
even if it doesn't star cloud.

...of course, even fft couldn't manage to show them that...
but i can dream, can't i?

Doom > Super Metroid and FFVI > CT

i can understand the logic behind the first claim: the extrapolated results.
if the current scores hold, they would show that doom would defeat super metroid.
but, as slowflake said earlier...those results have been tainted by "sff."
this is why ulti was complaining about this system: there are some factors it cannot take into account.

as for the second claim...
...we'll just have to wait and see on that one...

Blind fanboys, that's all it can be, right? It's infuriating to see people who think that the favor is still for LttP. It's never done anything to earn that sort of expectation, and right now all it's doing is showing that Super Metroid was nothing to get worked up about. Some people just can't think reasonably I guess.

"since chrono trigger probably is more popular than ff6"

On GameFAQs there is no probably in that sentance.

And on the discussion of SFF... Sonic 2 over SoM? Totally incorrect. SoM all the way. Dumb SFF and dumb extrapolated rankings that can't account for it.

I don`t know what in the world could make them think ALttP is a favorite right now.

I can't figure out why they ever thought it was the favorite.
