So big match #1 turns out to be a dud.

Next on the waiting list: Kefka/Vercetti, also likely to be a dud.

Why the hell do so many people want to see Mario win this contest? Sure he has good games, I've been playing them for close to 20 years, but I don't see what makes him THAT appealing as a character.

Play SMRPG. Mario is amazing in that game, as an awesome mime. Same with Mario & Luigi, and probably the PM games as well.

61.8 to 61.26 to 61.19 to 61.04 to 61.27?

I mean, who could've seen that coming?

DK anti-voting doesn't make any sense.


DK is to Nintendo what Final Fantasy 9 is to Square.

Vivi took a dive in vote count not Zelda making a jump.

So THAT explains why he got anti-voted MORE by his rival company equivalent!

Actually, it doesn't.

Yeah, but that's only because Diddy Kong owns your soul.

And yeah, Riku/Frog will probably be the closest because only Kefka/Vercetti and possibly Dante/Terra have the potential to be closer.

OK fine, so it was a bad analogy. Maybe this is just Nintendo's year and all the characters will be superpowered in their matches against Square or something. That is what happened in 2003, right? All the insanely high vote total matches went to the Square characters? This contest could very well be Summer 2003: The Revenge.

By the way, I'm really starting to wonder what the deal is behind the characters that got selected for the banner. I'd like to think that it was just the top 15 nominations, but that doesn't explain there only being one Square character (and Yuna at that) nor does it explain Sam Fisher's presence.

Just for the record, Ganondorf beat Tidus, Link beat Magus, Mario beat Crono (of course), Samus beat Squall, so it didn't go completely like that.

Square will still beat Nintendo in a few big matches, Auron/Ganondorf being one.

Possibly. But all the Square powerhouses are towards the lower half of the bracket, so we'll see when we get to the finals.

It is quite fitting that the only place the Nintendo and Square powerhouses can meet is in the finals...


And its should be Summer 2005: Nintendo's Revenge! anyway...

My guess is that CJ just put the thing together using the best pictures he could find that would fit into the same picture and not look terrible or something like that.
