Not sure if this has been thrown out there or not, but what is
everyone's thoughts on Final Fantasy being hurt by the fact that the
"series" has no continuity? Each game is a different world with
different characters. Is it possible that Zelda could benefit from
having the same characters with a fairly timeline-ish story across the
series? Personally, I think it may play a factor, but I just cannot see
anything with the backing of Final Fantasy VII bowing out. Sephiroth and Cloud to Link not withstanding... --- RIP - Tnote827 (4/4/05) |

Heh, the way LoZ's timeline has been presented those games might as
well not have continuity either. The only thing that is everpresent
with Zelda is Link (which is why he's so damn powerful in the
contests). Meanwhile, the second most powerful character in these
contests is that powerful based on ONE game (and let's face it, even
without Kingdom Hearts or anything else he'd still be the second most
powerful character). The fact that Final Fantasy has low continuity is
only a benefit to it. The diversity of the fanbase is enormous, not
everybody likes all but you'd actually be hard-pressed to find a ton of
people on GameFAQs that don't like ONE. And then it has FFVII. --- *is Karma Hunter* |

I really don't think the high vote totals will make a difference in
what Suikoden does because of any "maximum vote amount" it will run
into. If this is a sign of more casual support Suikoden might do worse, but just because of casuals. Didn't CATS disprove the "maximum vote amount" theory? --- "Dropo! You're the laziest man on Mars." |

Hyrule Division: Round 1 - Match 2 – (4)Suikoden vs. (5)Mega Man X Moltar’s Analysis Suikoden Hey, Suikoden, interesting to see you appear here again. And with a 4 seed to boot too! Impressive. The latest in the series is Suikoden V. Mega Man X Ahh, the long-neglected X series. Many find it better than Classic Mega Man, so good to see it finally getting its time in the light. MMX8 is the most recent. On one hand, we have a pretty much cult-RPG series, and on the other, Mega Man X. Yeah, this isn’t a very good seeding trap. Casuals aren’t going to fall for this. How did Suikoden get such a high seed anyway? Look at the other 4 seeds, Fire Emblem, Mega Man, GTA. Even Fire Emblem would probably beat Suikoden, as would all the 5 seeds, Silent Hill, Mario Kart, and Warcraft. Oh well, it should please all 4 of the Suikoden fans to see it seeded so high, but MMX is going to destroy it. MMX is arguably more popular than the Classic series. We’ve seen how Mega Man does in these Contests, and unlike a lot of other characters, Mega Man only has his games to draw his strength from. What does that mean? Well, Mega Man the series and Mega Man the character shouldn’t be that far from each other in strength. Now, MMX will probably end up looking a lot weaker because of what it faces next round, but eh. Enjoy it while it lasts. Moltar’s Bracket Says: Mega Man X will win. Moltar’s Prediction is: Suikoden: 25% - MMX: 75% Ulti’s Analysis MMX is an oddball. A recent "favorite Mega Man series" poll asked what the best MM series was. MMX surprisingly beat the original with ease, yet few people will try saying that MMX will have more contest strength than Mega Man. I think. Anyway, the second match of this contest is another no-brainer. MMX might perform below the rather high expectations, but it doesn't exactly matter given how easy MMX's path is to predict in this. Zelda > MMX SFF, here we come. As for Suikoden, I doubt even the recent release of 5 will stop the series from getting its ass whipped. It's simply too cult. Prediction: Mega Man X with 74.24% Soul’s Analysis Another predictable winner in this one. MMX is the clear cut favorite here. I'm predicting somewhere around low 70s/high 60s simply because Suikoden is a very obscure series. Hmm... what to do now. I could talk about this match some more, but what else needs to be said? MMX has a chance to be strong, Suikoden does not. Simple? My Prediction: MMX wins with 68.93% of the vote. Sadly, that's as far as MM is going to go this year) Lopen’s Analysis Man, I don't want to sound overconfident here, but the way I see it, this is a 1v8 match in a sneaky 4v5 costume. I have to admit, though, it's a pretty convincing costume. Some people even took Suikoden to win this one! Now, rather than just say they're wrong, as satisfying as that is, I'd rather explain why they're wrong. Three reasons (don't worry, they're good!): 1. How many games has the Suikoden series sold total? Correct me if I'm wrong but I think they cracked their sixth dozen with the recent Suikoden 5. 2. How well has Suikoden done in this contest so far? Not so good… really not so good. Alright, how not so good, you ask? Well I'm sure one of my coanalyzers will no doubt be bringing up Luca's and Suikoden 2's beautiful polls, so I'll just say this: This could be Suikoden vs. X, and you know what? I'd be putting X in my bracket, because those X-Treme sports fans would surely propel X to victory! 3. Whoa whoa whoa… it's Mega Man X?! Riiight. I love you, Suikoden… you've got my pity vote, but you haven't really got a chance. I'm... sorry. Lopen's Prediction: Mega Man X with 81.56%. |

HM’s Analysis Finally, we get to see Mega Man X in some form in one of these contests. CJayC always grouped “Mega Man” and “X” together in the character contests, but it looks like there was enough of a backing to get both Mega Man and Mega Man X into this series contest. It is kind of unfortunate it got put into a position where it is one and out though. I think Mega Man X could have done some real damage in other places, but I suppose one can’t expect a perfect bracket. Anyway, we have Suikoden perform in the contest before, and it was incredibly weak to say the least. Granted, it was against Final Fantasy VII, the strongest game on this site, but it still doesn’t look like it has much of a fanbase at this site, despite being an RPG. One could probably blame Konami for some shipping issues and not enough advertising because you would figure a company as big as them would be able to get an RPG series like that to catch on. In any case, it’s clear that fanbase here, while dedicated, it incredibly small and isn’t going to be saving it from suffering a massive blowout at the hands of Mega Man X – something the Blue Bomber loves to do to fodder. It’s a bit disappointing considering the quality of the Suikoden series, but that’s just how things go. Interestingly, I think this match will have a blowout similar to that of The Legend of Zelda, which may seem a bit weird at first, but I think Civilization would be able to handle Suikoden without too much trouble. Of course, even with a comparable blowout, Mega Man X stands no real shot at a powerhouse like Zelda, though its performance should be respectable. So yeah, Mega Man X wins this one without any trouble at all. Aitch Emm’s Bracket Says : Mega Man X will win. Aitch Emm’s Prediction : Mega Man X 82% -- Suikoden 18% Aitch Emm’s Vote : Mega Man X Yoblazer’s Analysis You know, 4/5 matches aren't supposed to be like this. They're supposed to be competitive. They're supposed to be filled to the brim with uncertainty. They're supposed to have us clawing at each other's throats, looking for something, anything, that distinguishes itself as proof good enough from which to base our decisions. We should get good matches. We should NOT get 80/20 bloodbaths. Unfortunately, that's what we're going to get. Suikoden is a very cult series with a small, highly devoted fanbase. There are a very concentrated group of fans who will vote Suikoden over their own mothers, and they seem to show up in every poll which features the series. Sadly, that's about all it has. Mega Man X is a very respected series spanning two of the most popular consoles in history. It carries the Mega Man name, which might not be as big a deal for the other MM in the contest, but should help immensely against fodder of this craptitude. Voters who don't care about either series will probably vote for the one they've heard of, and EVERYONE has heard of Mega Man. It's an open and shut case. Mega Man X gets the honor of being Zelda's second sacrificial lamb, while Suikoden battles Star Ocean for last place on the Extrapolated Standings. Suikoden + Actually got a decent seed + Incredibly devoted fanbase - That fanbase is very, very small - It's going to get killed Mega Man X + Situated on arguably the two most popular consoles of all time + Large number of games + Mega Man name + Known for blowing up fodder - Zelda will SFF it in Round 2; such a shame My prediction: Mega Man X def. Suikoden (83-17) |

Leon’s Analysis Suikoden actually got the higher seed, eh? Well, it makes sense. The last time we saw a Suikoden representative, Luca Blight was the 4 seed facing off against Albert Wesker in last year’s Villains Contest. I mean, we already know the series is weak, but let’s review its contest history, shall we? Spring Contest 2004, Suikoden II is the first sacrificial lamb for Final Fantasy VII. It fails to break even 15% in the match, but we’ll cut it some slack. It only faced the most popular game on GameFAQs. I mean, it ranked 47th out of 64 games in the stats (above even Metal Gear?!), so that’s not TOO shabby. Still fodder, but not a bottom feeder, at least. Suikoden keeps rolling along and sends Luca Blight into Summer Contest 2004 as an 11 seed against Magus. He only gets around 19%, but come on…Magus is practically on the level of the Noble Nine, right? That’s forgivable. He makes a repeat appearance in the 2005 Villains Contest, facing off against the main villain of the very popular Resident Evil series, Albert Wesker. Luca surprises nearly everyone by breaking 40% in that match. Wow! Pretty impressive, right? But then Wesker fails to get even 30% against Kefka, a very low tier character. So much for that…And then, to top it all off, Magus gets exposed as a fraud against Knuckles, making Luca Blight look even weaker than he already did. Basically, just when it seemed it couldn’t get any worse…it did. Now here is the entire Suikoden series rolled into one facing off against the Mega Man X series. I spent all that time reviewing its contest history to say this…It doesn’t stand a chance. In fact, its odds of victory are the equivalent to the name of its opponent’s most popular character: Zero. If there is a dictionary ANYWHERE with the word “Cult RPG” in it, I’d bet good money that there’s a picture of a Suikoden game (or at least it would be mentioned as an example) somewhere nearby. There are some people who even believe Mega Man X can be stronger than Mega Man Classic (there’s a favorite Mega Man series poll that MMX won as evidence of this). Heck, it doesn’t really matter what incarnation of Mega Man you throw Suikoden against, it wouldn’t win. The series has a hardcore (and I mean hardcore) following, but it’s just not big enough to matter against virtually ANYTHING, much less a big name like Mega Man. However, I’ll give it enough credit to manage to avoid getting completely destroyed here. Leonhart’s Prediction: Mega Man X with 71.90% HaRRich’s Analysis Predicted winner: Mega Man X Top 100 List comparison: ---N/A (neither series had games on the drop-down list) Best Game Ever x-stat comparison: ---Suikoden 2 - 14.37% (may have been SFF'd by FF7) ---MMX - N/A (no rep) You know what's great about this match? MMX wins. You know what's horrible about this match? It's another blow-out. You know what justifies that though? MMX wins. Seriously though, we have another not-so-entertaining match, though it could prove interesting when we can compare MMX to Mega Man later in the contest. Until then...I mean, we've seen Mega Man be a Final Four character three times, Zero get 47+% on Sonic in 2003 whereas Luca Blight almost got 19% on Magus in 2004, and Sigma is expected to get 64.04% on Luca Blight according to the Villain Contest's stats. It also doesn't hurt that Dr. Wily was in the top quarter of villains in the Villain Contest, nor does it hurt that Protoman is right at the fodder-line despite being potentially SFF'd. I'm still surprised that Suikoden is "seeded" higher though -- I know we don't see the numbers this time, but think about the way they should go (1/8, 4/5, 3/6, 2/7) for every division, and it fits decently for the most part. This though...bah. A sign, perhaps? Not at all, watch. Mega Man X wins with 73.12% |

Mnm’s Analysis Battle Music: Double (MMX4) FINALLY!!! After years and years of fans of the X series demanding that Mega Man be represented by X pictures in the character contest, Ceej finally sticks Mega Man X in a contest as a stand alone series! Unfortunately, the X series was placed in a lackluster bracket position, having its path already set. It goes through a snorefest against Suikoden before being sacrificed to Zelda. Nonetheless, at least X will look good in blowing out cult favorite Suikoden! The X series has proven to be the most popular Mega Man series, as shown by the Mega Man favorites poll. However, the poll also shows that there is a huge split between the Classic Mega Man series and the Mega Man X series. What’s even more surprising is that before MMXC was released, I noticed there were many people who hadn’t even played a Mega Man X game. It’s surprising to me because the X series was basically the SNES extension of the Mega Man series. There was Super Mario World for Mario, A Link to the Past for Zelda, Super Metroid for Metroid, and Mega Man X for Mega Man. You would think that every fan of the NES Mega Man games would go grab MMX, especially seeing that MM7 wasn’t even released until 2 years after MMX. Still, MMX is still a pretty popular franchise on this site, as is evident by Zero’s popularity in the character contest. Of course, this doesn’t mean that MMX will equal Zero’s character strength. Games are a whole different ballgame than characters, and even though the X games have some popularity, I wouldn’t even put them near the popularity level of a Mario, Zelda, Chrono Trigger, etc. And since the SNES days, the popularity of the series has declined. It won’t matter though because it’s up against Suikoden, the very definition of cult RPGs. We’ve seen Suikoden represented in these contests in a couple of instances. Luca Blight has been in 2 character contests, where he’s shown to be supreme fodder. Suikoden 2 went up against the FFVII juggernaut and nabbed 14%. Pretty decent given that Suikoden 2 fans are probably FFVII fans as well. It shows there’s at least a dedicated Suikoden fanbase, although that fanbase is still ultimately small. Look for it to avoid a complete blowout to MMX, although it probably still won’t avoid a tripling. Bracket: Mega Man X Vote: Mega Man X Prediction: MMX with 76.24% Comments: Crew is 9-0 in favor of MMX, though our predictions have a wide range. |

Match II: (4) Suikoden vs. (5) Mega Man X Games in series Suikoden (PS, 1996) Suikoden II (PS, 1999) Suikoden III (PS2, 2002) Suikoden IV (PS2, 2005) Suikoden V (PS2, 2006) Mega Man X (SNES, 1993) Mega Man X2 (SNES, 1994) Mega Man X3 (SNES, 1995) Mega Man X4 (PS, 1997) Mega Man X5 (PS, 2001) Mega Man X6 (PS, 2001) Mega Man X7 (PS2, 2003) Mega Man X8 (PS2, 2004) Analysis: How does Suikoden keep returning to these contests? In the last five contests Suikoden has appeared in four of them. Suikoden is a RPG with up to 108 different party members called the Stars of Destiny. The game starts with the main character fighting to protect the Empire and realizes what the Empire has done to the world and wants to put a stop to it. These 108 warriors team up to defeat this evil empire. In MMX, “X” becomes the first robot to be invented to be able to think, feel, and make his own decisions, but that could be very dangerous because he could harm people so he is then put into a time capsule and is tested over the next 30 years. Another scientist finds X and decides to make more of these kinds of robots. After some of these robots went maverick (or rebel) the council set up a team of Maverick Hunters led by a robot named Sigma who was supposedly immune to maverick. Of course like in any other videogame that didn’t work out and Sigma maverick and took the robots. His plan was to destroy all humans. X decided to join Zero, the new Maverick Hunters leader in destroying Sigma and the other hunters. Suikoden has been performing poorly in all of the contests it performed in, while Zero is considered to be one of the strongest characters in the Summer Contests. Only Square RPG tends to do well and Suikoden was made by Konami. Nothing against Konami, but GameFAQs does like its Square RPG more than any other RPG and the performances by Suikoden II and Luca Blight proves it. Many people will be looking at this match more for what can the original series can do against Mario Kart than what this series can do because after this match they are bowing out to LoZ. Suikoden may have the cult to bring it into the contests, but there aren’t enough of them to save it from getting destroyed again. charmander6000’s Bracket: Mega Man X over Suikoden charmander6000’s Prediction: Mega Man X wins, 73.93% - 26.07% --- "I was trying to escape.

248 vote update... It only needs 200.1 votes per update to make it now, and that number keeps shrinking. It's definitely got it. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

| Well, it looks like I'm screwed with my 69555 tiebreaker, and I thought I was gonna be high with that. I'm guessing Final Fantasy'll be closer to 80k in the final, but here's to hoping Zelda can keep it close (and lower). |

If Final Fantasy gets 80,000 votes in the final, I guarantee that Zelda
nets at least 70,000 and we say hello to our first ever 150,000 vote
poll. --- Board 8: Where Wii treat each other right. |

Honestly, I don't mean to brag or anything, but I did expect this.
We've never had anything as all-encompassing as a series contest. The
Legend of Zelda is bigger than Link. Final Fantasy is bigger than
Cloud. If any contest is going to get fans to rally for their
respective causes, this is the one. Even still, it looks like I undershot my tiebreaker. --- Board 8: Where Wii treat each other right. |

I didn't. I figured it would be more popular than the Villains Contest,
but that people wouldn't care as much because it wasn't the Summer
Contest. Speaking of the Summer Contest, are things only going up from here? --- Moltar Status: Excited, the Contest is here at last! LoZ vs. Civilization - Bracket: LoZ - Vote: LoZ (0/0) |

Vercetti up by 15! Yes, because obviously a few posts about LoZ approaching an unheard of 100k votes is as bad as twenty posts a minute talking about imaginary vote barriers, and how Vercetti has gotten five votes closer to taking the lead. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |
