That is a sweet first-round match pic. Nothing will ever top Tetris/Pong, though. --- For the sake of simplicity, I'm going to refer to Gordon Freeman versus Tanner as Schrodinger's Match. -Phoenix Flattener |

Not sure if I like the character pic being used here. Don't know what I
was expecting, I guess I hadn't thought about it. But this seems like
it might skew some things a bit. I wonder if we'd get something like Cloud and Sephiroth vs. Link and, say, Zelda. Which would give the edge to Final Fantasy. But if he starts using main characters from other Final Fantasy games against a prominent Link, it could mean trouble. e.g., Fighter+Cecil+Tidus+Zidane+Cloud all being of equal prominence against Link...that's not good. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Slowflake Posted 7/1/2006 9:29:21 PM message detail Time for the odds based on the BOP! I've gone countless times over how they're supposed to total 80/31 instead of 1, and I don't intend on doing that again. So let's go straight to the numbers: please do it one more time. It should definitely equal one |

you know, if I was making real odds I'd place Warcraft fourth - not
because I think it'll win a single match, but because its potential
rallying power is the only thing that has a chance in hell of beating
the big three. --- xyzzy |

What do you mean, "real odds"? Do you mean odds that are not based on raw numbers? --- I do declare, old chap! Even a Doom score could not possibly justify the unwarranted combustion of kittens! |

yep! obviously SSB has no chance to win the entire thing, you know?
SMB, Zelda and FF would smash it. Warcraft on the other hand has god
knows how many potential rallied votes. do I think it'll happen? no,
not even close, but at least it's not 0% like SSB. --- xyzzy |
