Although not many people play WoW on GameFAQS, I don't think there'll
be a lot of anti-votes. I've never really come across any really solid
core hate base for it, so I don't understand where that claim's coming
from. From what I've seen, the general attitude towards it on GameFAQS
is either love or apathy. --- "What's wrong with boot blacking? I like it very much." |

Say what you will about Pyramid Head, but could you really see *insert Fire Emblem villain here* doing much better? No, but I could definitely see Lyndis doing a lot better than that Sunderland guy who's the main character of Silent Hill. --- "What's wrong with boot blacking? I like it very much." |

Why do I have a feeling that WoW-heads on this board are going to
personally do what it takes to start rallying for Warcraft, especially
because it's up against GTA? The majority of the Warcraft nation has
already shown it isn't really that interested in GameFAQs polls. Yet, I
can already feel some people around here doing whatever it takes to not
let the "casual" GTA win... --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

Oh, there's no doubt that the Warcraft marks here will be rallying in
full force. It just won't matter when it's at that big of a
disadvantage. As I said before, StarCraft was plenty strong without the
rallying. Sure, in the matches it did have, it probably needed the
votes it got, but Warcraft is going to be losing by more than 1000
votes. --- Some stories can't be told by words. Some legends are meant to die. Knowing your enemy is the quickest path to victory. |

Heh, I'm not worried about it in the least. Hell, the people coming on
this site for GTA:LCS FAQs will be enough to counter for the potential
rallying that WoW will have. GTA fans already frequent this site. --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

"Being a side series doesn't matter when it comes to games, if it is a
popular side series. Like I said before, SSB is a side series and look
how popular it is on this site. The whole side series thing is becoming
another "Vincent is an optional character" phenomenon." Truthery. No matter how much I thinkit should not be so, MMX is going to be stronger than MMClassic, and MM's popularity comes from a combination of the two... they don't have an absolute overlap. MMC will only be a fraction of MM's power, Mario Kart is exceptionally popular of its own right (I mean, look at how many "spin-offs" there are in this contest, not even FFT made it.) and if this were a game contest I doubt most of you would take MM2 over MK64. --- Take a hike, and don't forget the trail mix *****.

I'm seriously worried that Zelda can beat Final Fantasy. The only thing
FF really has going for it is FF7. Link and Zelda have the advantage
just about everywhere else. For the hell of it, go to the stats calculator and put FF7 against 2005 Link. Couldn't Zelda make that up fairly easily? ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game.

MM/MK, now this is a nice match to debate. When I first put MM over in
my bracket, I figured it was a lock. However, the moment someone
questioned it, I had doubts and realized this match was tougher than I
first realized. I'm keeping MM, but there are some good arguments from the MK side. I wouldn't take any individual MM game over Mario Kart, but as a whole, I think the series can pull through. I'm with those that say Mega Man draws his power from his series, so they can't be too far apart. --- Moltar Status: Eagerly awaiting for the next Contest to begin. |

I've yet to hear a MM/MK argument (maybe I just missed them), but I'd
take MK64 over any MM game easily, and probably would do the same with
SMK. maybe MKDS as well. MM has the anniversary collection and the
enormous quantity of games going for it, but that's about all. --- xyzzy |

LTTP wound up beating FF6 by almost 5000 votes. I don't think FF could
beat Zelda 1. FF8 vs MM is tough. FFX and Wind Waker are equal. I'm not saying that Zelda is a lock or anything, but it's not a bad upset pick. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game.

Okay, how many people are going to look at it the way you're going about it? "Well, I like Final Fantasy VII more than Ocarina of Time. But wait, I like Link to the Past more than Final Fantasy VI.

I'm not counting out the LoZ series though. Should be a good final match IMO. I'd expect FF to take it with 52-53%.

I'd imagine more people are going to say, "I LOVE FINAL FANTASY VII!" and vote for FF. Yeah, that's what I've been saying. It's basically gonna be boiling down to favorite from Series A vs favorite from Series B. I'd imagine people would only really think about the series when it's a close call between the favorites that stick out in your mind. I mean, it's how I'm gonna vote, and clearly everyone should be voting like me. "I like Final Fantasy Tactics a bit more than Halo 2, but Halo >>> FFTA... give me Halo" But I'd vote Final Fantasy Tactics over Super Mario Brothers without thinking, just because none of the Mario Games really rank that high to me, despite liking the series overall quite a bit. --- Raiden is still [!!] nominations short! http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=27664244 |

"I'm seriously worried that Zelda can beat Final Fantasy. The only
thing FF really has going for it is FF7. Link and Zelda have the
advantage just about everywhere else." Because FF6 isn't a top 10 game also and 8 and 10 aren't pretty well up there and they don't all have unique fans that will vote for the series based on that single entry they loved the most. FF has as much going for it as Zelda if you exclude the top options of both, FF7 just pulls it a million miles away. "I don't think FF could beat Zelda 1." No one does, but then again you're looking at it wrong. You don't pair them up by generation ('cause if you did, FF8 wins over MM by a lot and FF10 beats Wind Waker easily enough that they MORE than make up for the losses to LoZ and Lttp... and FF7 STILL blows OoT out of the water) you pair them up by popularity. The 3rd strongest Zelda is LoZ, the third strongest FF is X. "I'd imagine more people are going to say, "I LOVE FINAL FANTASY VII!" and vote for FF." Exactly. At least 1/4th of the population is going to pick FF(7) over everything else and they are going to do it without thinking about it. Zelda does not have that kind of security. --- Take a hike, and don't forget the trail mix *****. Hijack - MC Chris Detective in Sir Chris' Police |

"Hmmm...Here's a good question: Who will be the favorite to win the contest in the brackets?" FF, even the vast majority of casuals can't come up with good reason to back Zelda over FF. It's illogical and it's a sign you don't really want to win. I've said this before (OoT vs. FF7) and I'll say it again; The correct answer for this match is so obvious that there might as well only be the one. Do not throw your bracket away because you want to game the system or because you think Zelda has a legitimate shot at winning. It doesn't. --- Take a hike, and don't forget the trail mix *****.

Halo vs. KH is such a cool match. It's probably the one I'm most looking foward too. I mean, both games did pretty much the same against Starcraft (and cheating or not, there would be the same amount of it anyway for both matches). I think Halo did a bit better if I recall. This was when KH had more hate, I believe. But the same is true for Halo. KH the game/series has got to be more popular than Sora, for Anti-ClownShoe factor. For those who haven't played KH2 yet, his kiddish KH1 personality is an affect on voting. But the same is probably true for Chief and Halo. I mean... he doesn't do much. Also this was before KH2.... ....and Halo 2... Both of which were better than the originals (in most eyes anyway), and will help each one since then and Halo 2 wasn't on the drop down and still got on the Top 100, which is impressive. My theory on that though is that the online Halo 2ers were either too busy playing, too obsessed with 1337sp33k, or just too damn lazy to type the 2 in front of the Halo. But now, Halo 2 is kinda old news, and Halo 3 is too far off, while KH2 is fresh hat. And we never have truly seen what Halo can do, and not too much of what KH can. Maybe after we see how Soul Calibur does on Metal Gear, we'll have a better idea. All that said, I picked KH, but I may change. This banking mostly on 2 things. 1) KH2 is much more recent and should give a nicer boost to KH1 than Halo 2 did to Halo 1. I can't see someone loving Halo 2 and not 1 (or vice versa?). It's hard to say too that someone can love KH2 and not 1 (or vice versa?), but it's a bit easier than Halo. 2) I believe KH lost a lot of its kiddie/Disney votes with a more mature Sora, but it's still there. Halo and Chief's anti-votes I can't see going down since Halo 2. Halo 2 can get it MORE good votes, but not less anti-votes. This is sorta like above. If you hated Halo 1, you probably won't like 2 (or if you're a flatout XBox hater, which is a lot of GameFAQs). I know people who have played KH2 though, and loved it, without playing KH1. So, KH2 made some anti-votes go away for KH, imo, while Halo still has the same amount of anti-voters.

The main factor for me in choosing KH over Halo is that Master Chief's
improvement between 2k4 and 2k5 was so small. I had thought it might
put him up in the range of Squall and Zero and the like, but instead it
did almost nothing. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

It takes a hell of a lot to become as popular as Squall or
Zero. Master Chief is not a character from a popular RPG, and he really
hasn't been around that long. That he's so high already is a testament
to his popularity, but come on now. There isn't really much room for
him to go so soon. Look at all the top characters and look at how long
they've been around. Dante is the newest character we have among the strong characters, and he's not even on that level yet. It takes a lot to actually replace the perennial favorites in popularity. --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

Notice how I said Master Chief isn't from a popular RPG? And still, FF7
has been around since 1997. I think popular FF characters can be
considered perennial favorites on this site. I mean look at the FFX
characters. They have gotten popular, but not quite on the level of the
FFVII characters. It's really hard to displace the top characters
collectively. I learned that a long time ago on this site when I expected Tommy Vercetti to jump on the scene and be near elite because GTA was so popular. He's lucky he got past Donkey Kong. It takes a lot to be a popular video game character. --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

"The main factor for me in choosing KH over Halo is that Master Chief's improvement between 2k4 and 2k5 was so small." But look at it this way... what did Halo 2 do to improve MC's character? Nothing. A lot of Halo fans barely register that he exists, so of course he wouldn't get a huge boost from a new game. What did it do to bring in new fans, though? Well, it outsold the first by a lot. Now the other points made... they're starting to scare me back towards KH. It's a shame, too, because I'm almost tempted to vote for Halo in that match if I keep it (I really can't stand either series for long). --- Take a hike, and don't forget the trail mix *****.

The reason I say skyrockted Leonhart, is because after Advent Children
trailors had been released and it was announced and all....I **** you
not, dozens of people I know who have never even played FF7, started
going crazy and writing fanfics about Vincent, cosplaying, the works.
This is something I like to call "The Otaku Effect" >_> point
being....with so much mainstream exposure to the anime fanbase
sub-culture, I believe that in its own right increased FF7's
popularity, and the fact that Vincent got a good amount of airtime in
AC reinforces that. --- The WWEGSB Hardcore Legend Masa |

I feel like making up expected results and then computing x-stats, just to see how completely ridiculous this contest is going to look after Zelda/Metroid, SMB/SSB (or Sonic, if you saw what happened in the Game Contest), and MGS/KH if Snake/Sora is any indicator. I did last year and probably will again this year. Funny stuff, looking back on it all. I love Star Ocean, but there's no way it'll break 37% on Pokemon. It's too cult (and yes I know SO2 and SO3 sold 1 million copies each). Nah, SO should at least break 42.5%, and I think it'll get about 47%. CJ lost to Ness, that should be evidence enough. Vercetti beat Donkey Kong and Kefka (with cheating, no less). Plus, Ness is under-rated, but I'm not getting into that right now. I don't see either side breaking 55% in that match. [Pokemon/SO] should be one of the better matches in the contest. Hard to disagree with this -- if it's off, it's not off by much. Vincent : Kerrigan :: Grand Theft Auto : Warcraft I believe I can concur with this. The only way it's close is if we see more rallying than this site has ever seen...AND undetected cheating. Diablo also burned them. Of course, people conveniently forget that Diablo 2 is played more on Bnet than Starcraft is. God, don't remind me. and the difference between those two matches and Diablo is that Diablo ended up costing what, 15 points? this is a one point match no matter how you look at it. To play the devil's advocate, if Warcraft can rally enough to beat GTA, I would bet they could garner more when it faces SMB and any other game it might face in the tournament. Thing is though, Warcarft shouldn't get that shot. --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=585007 |

fools. what you don't realize is that half of the copies of gta in the
world are owned by wow players and have been neglected for the past
year due to online gaming addiction. if any of you played wow you would
understand its potential. it is not to be underestimated. that said, my
current bracket still does have gta... --- All my base are belong to Yoblazer, winner of the Guru Contest. |
