+ hm, maybe Chrono can surprise against Metroid - but Met's so NSFFable, I'd rather lock it into FF's division + GTA/Madden won't be close, but funny casual setup + little better for DKC + maybe GTA can challenge MMX, which should be the weaker of the MMs + Mario/Zelda is cool + oh, love SF/Pokemon! - eh, Halo's too interesting to waste against Super-Snake + like MGS/Sonic + like MM/Sonic/MGS + KH/Kart is very neat - again, would rather see SSB where it can do some real damage, like in the mix in a division with 2 out of the three of MM/Sonic/MGS + FF/Zelda final How about Metroid to the 2 in FF Land, set up for what will be a highly intriguing matchup no matter if it gets Kart or KH? SSB could move in as 2 in place of Sonic, and Sonic could float up into the place of GTA. That sets up a very cool Sonic/MMX battle in the second round. GTA would take the #2 in Mario Land, which begs the question... are all 3 GTAs together more powerful than Chrono Trigger on its own? Now that would be a bracket worth writing home about! --- "lol x-stats" - The Contest Simulator: http://thengamer.com/xstats Ngamer's Contest Archives: http://thengamer.com/gamefaqs/ |

One of the things I was wondering about...we often say that some
characters (particularly Nintendo characters) more or less represent
their series. Because most people wouldn't vote for them based on their
personality. (I would, but that's just me.) And, well, this is a series contest. Metroid games bombed in SpC2k4, yes, but a) each and every one of them was against a Nintendo game, and we saw how well Samus dealt with that, and b)if Samus represents her series, shouldn't the series be about as strong as the character? And that wouldn't qualify as bombing, I'd say. It's hard to tell, really, but the diversity of the Metroid series is probably greater than that of the Mario or Zelda (Super to Prime is a lot different than, say, World to 64), so that would hurt the games (like it seems to), help the character (like it seems to), and, logically, help the series. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/NintendoDesktop2.jpg |

That makes enough sense, but where would you fit SSB/M into the
equation? I would think she is bigger than her series as far as contest
strength goes. --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=585007 |

As for a series like Final Fantasy, that's tough. Here's a couple of polls that I came upon. 3/13/2006 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2314 How many of the standard Final Fantasy RPG games have you played? All 11 (1-10 + X-2) 15.61% 12277 All 10 in English 10.3% 8097 6-9 22.98% 18072 2-5 29.51% 23202 Just one 7.95% 6253 Not a single one of them 13.64% 10725 TOTAL VOTES 78626 So, just under half the people here have played at least five, which is a fairly large number. 3/28/2004 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1573 (Had to go back a ways for this one) Which of the twelve main Final Fantasy titles is your all-time favorite? I 1.79% 1595 II 0.77% 686 III 3.45% 3063 IV 3.19% 2833 V 1.37% 1219 VI 13.27% 11795 VII 35.97% 31971 VIII 9.34% 8297 IX 5.17% 4591 X 10.1% 8979 X-2 2.44% 2167 XI 2.34% 2078 I've never played any of them 10.8% 9599 TOTAL VOTES 88873 And I don't even know what conclusions to draw from that, really. But I figured I'd point it out so that someone else might. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/NintendoDesktop2.jpg |

Just another poll of interest, which I had to go even further back to get. 4/12/2003 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1225 What's your favorite Zelda game? Legend of Zelda 7.63% 4372 Link to the Past 26.32% 15079 Link's Awakening 4.36% 2499 Majora's Mask 4.32% 2473 Ocarina of Time 36.34% 20818 Oracle of Ages/Seasons 2.17% 1244 Wind Waker 16.4% 9394 Zelda II: Adventure of Link 2.45% 1402 TOTAL VOTES 57281 A lot less votes, and I don't really know what to draw from it. The fact that there's a lot fewer games doesn't really help. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/NintendoDesktop2.jpg |

That makes enough sense, but where would you fit SSB/M into the
equation? I would think she is bigger than her series as far as contest
strength goes. Dunno, really. For all I know, for every person that would vote for her because she's in Melee there's another that wouldn't vote for because she doesn't do a whole lot but said voter still loves her games. The analogy isn't perfect, obviously. :p --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/NintendoDesktop2.jpg |

Based on these fairly early results: Which of the three next-gen consoles do you think you'll own by this time next year? All three 6.45% 75 PS3 and Wii 18.74% 218 PS3 and 360 3.1% 36 Wii and 360 14.79% 172 Just a 360 4.04% 47 Just a PS3 13.59% 158 Just a Wii 30.7% 357 None of them 8.6% 100 TOTAL VOTES 1163 Percentage of people who think they will have each console a year from now: Wii - 70.68% PS3 - 41.88% 360 - 28.38% PS3 + 360 = 70.26% that's less than the Wii. That's pretty insane even accounting for Nintendo bias. Like the previous few polls, Nintendo's score will fall like lead throughout the day but they should still have a large lead at the end. --- Nominate Seiken Densetsu and Pokemon for GameFAQ's Best.

A few points since last night: I wouldn't mind being on the analysis crew if there's space. Metroid will bomb. Metroid has always bombed. I can see it choking against almost anything with an ounce of strength, even though it's got two of the greatest games of all time at its disposal, something which very few other series can claim. I could see Metroid easily losing to KH or Chrono, even Halo or GTA, although I'd puke in any of these cases. Whoever predicts Metroid's strength correctly wins the contest, it really could make the last eight, or four with a *great* draw, or bomb in round 1. It really is that wide open. The domain name's already been got, or so it seems, but I think the right one was got. --- Jon Thomson - CATS, Jay Solano, Ridley, Scorpion, Alien Hominid, Duke Nukem, The Prince, Johnny Rocketfingers, two TBA |

Also, if charmander is interested, I nominate him too. He did one on his own for pretty much every match last year, regardless of not being on the actual crew, and more often than not, his analysis' were more interesting than anyone elses. --- Explicit Content I used to be Asian, but I didn't get good enough grades so my parents beat it out of me. - snalien |

year. I voted for just the Wii because there's no chance of me owning a
PS3 by this time next year. --- Some stories can't be told by words. Some legends are meant to die. Knowing your enemy is the quickest path to victory. |

Speaking of the Analysis Crew, is Moltar going to run that again? I
remember he asked me to do it last year, but I never got around to it.
I need to catch him again sometime ... I don't have enough time to comment on that bracket because I have to be somewhere in about ten minutes, but it looks pretty interesting. And Nintendo is doing quite the domination on the poll today. I still believe it is not saying much of anything in relation to the contest, but just that Nintendo had the most impressive booth from E3. There were a lot of good things from everyone, but Nintendo just had more of those "favorites" on the show floor -- Mario, Zelda, Metroid, etc. I think it is notable that Zelda actually had the weakest showing at this year's E3 than it did any time before. The difficultly was made a joke for demo purposes, which led to some concerns, and using the Wiimote was nearly impossible when trying to use the bow and arrow. Anyway, I'm still holding out hope that we get to see a poll asking what was the most impressive game at E3 or something. I still believe that a combination of MGS4 and FFXIII is going to do more than any singular Nintendo title. The PS3's price just really hurts it in polls like this, but yeah. All in all, the Wii was definitely the most impressive console on the show floor though. And ... Fact: Bracket is announced on Monday or earlier.

announced in SSBB would probably win, even if the MGS4 trailer is an
option too. Heh, and I would love it if there was an option for when

Looks like a very clear win between Nintendo's big games and the
combination of MGS4/FFXIII that likely makes up almost all of the PS3's
votes. That is combining every game at E3 for the Wii against everything for the PS3 at E3, which is really just two major titles. If you held a poll with a list of games asking which was the most impressive -- not the console that was the most impressive -- you are not going to see anything like what you saw in that poll, period. I would wager that Final Fantasy XIII actually wins the poll. What I want to see is it branch off of asking about console's and their makers and get more into the singular games (MGS4, FFXIII, SSBB, SMG, etc.) --- “The human body is supposed to be 70 percent water.

SMG, and SSBB may cannibalize each other, but one of them probably wins
and all of them combined easily beat MGS4 + FFXIII. Why are we combining things? In a poll asking you which game was the most impressive at E3 2006, you are not going to have combinations. You are going to have lists of games. What game at E3 2006 was the most impressive? -- Metal Gear Solid 4 : Guns of the Patriots -- Super Smash Bros. Brawl -- Halo 3 -- Final Fantasy XIII -- Super Mario Galaxy -- The Legend of Zelda : Twilight Princess We saw the combined score with the question about which games were the most impressive on which console -- the poll you that was up yesterday. I don't want to see a poll like that. I want to see something more similar to this. You can change the question to "most anticipated" or whatever if the current one doesn't work for you. ...nah, I can't see SSBB losing. When was the last time you saw the internet erupt like it did with the announcement of Solid Snake (among other fan-favorites)? The reason why it was even remotely as big a deal as it was is because Solid Snake was announced as a playable character. If it were not for that, I can see the whole the talk about SSBB being much lower, though still quite large. I can certainly see it losing in a poll like that. If it doesn't lose, then it would pretty much be getting almost all of the votes from the Nintendo fanbase. hell, for kicks, I'll even mention SSBM > FFX here. I can't dislike its chances.

Is all this Nintendo E3 hype enough to neutralize any possible KH 2 factor? Hype can't compete with releases. Period. Well, looking at the activity on the Super Smash Bros. Brawl board, among others, Nintendo's E3 showing has brought some buzz on the boards, but no it can't compete with Kingdom Hearts 2. And it's not like Square didn't have a great showing at E3 as well.... Seems like people have forgotten about that. Nintendo does have New Super Mario Bros. on the verge of release. I'm interested to see what type of impact that has on the contest. As far as hype is concerned, I do think it can play a factor, but only for unique situations. E3 2004 had the announcement of Twilight Princess, and the return of Adult Link which did have the internet buzzing. The announcement of Solid Snake in SSBB is comparable. It also has the internet buzzing. I don't think we will have to wait until 2007 to see Snake making a move in popularity. --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: KH2, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC (wow, my PS2 is actually getting play!) |

I did not mean Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy XIII as one poll
option. I meant to say that each of them would out do the Nintendo
titles in a singular game poll, but I had forgotten about SSBB during
that whole exchange. I really think a few choice people here are over
exaggerating how popular that game actually is at this point, but it is
either going to be Nintendo's most voted title or around the area of
whatever else is on the poll. And it would be rather ridiculous to have "Metal Gear Solid 4 + Final Fantasy XIII v. Super Mario Galaxy + The Legend of Zelda : Twilight Princess + Super Smash Bros. Braw" --- “The human body is supposed to be 70 percent water. I consider myself 70 percent film.” – Hideo Kojima |

has the internet buzzing. I don't think we will have to wait until 2007
to see Snake making a move in popularity. I maintain that Link's move in popularity was NOT due to the TP announcement, it was due to Zelda Collector's Edition being a pack-in with the Gamecube for a while. --- "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows." |

And I meant that the four big Nintendo games, if one summed their
scores, would easily outdo a summation of FFXIII and MGS4, so we're
even. And that one of them would most likely win singularly, probably
TP. And, for a little math, if each Nintendo game (I'm going with MP3, TP, SSBB, and SMG here) splits the 56% of the Wii vote evenly they all end up with a bit over 14%. If MGS4/FFXIII split the PS3 vote evenly they both end up with a bit over 14%. However, poor MP3 is probably the most likely to be cannibalized out (or omitted altogether, as you did) giving the three Nintendo games a bit short of 19%. I think it's difficult to come up with a situation in which a Nintendo game doesn't win, given yesterday's poll numbers. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/NintendoDesktop2.jpg |

Squaresoft has a decent fanbase on this site. It's not like they're not
going to support their game. Even if FFXIII looked lackluster, and
Nintendo was releasing the game to end all games, FFXIII would still
take a decent chunk of the votes... --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: KH2, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC (wow, my PS2 is actually getting play!) |

MP3 would get SFF'd to hell and back by that poll. --- Finally Playing: Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence |
