Man, that is one cluttered picture. I was worried about SSB getting
that picture next round. At least we got it out of the way when it
doesn't matter. Gotta wonder what the theme for the second round will
be. Maybe it'll be villains! Robotnik vs. Master Hand: Part Deux! --- Some stories can't be told by words. Some legends are meant to die. Knowing your enemy is the quickest path to victory. |

Heh, but that was like less than a month after Chrono Cross released.
Hype and excitement for a game are at peaks in the immediate aftermath
of a release. --- Some stories can't be told by words. Some legends are meant to die. Knowing your enemy is the quickest path to victory. |

Final Fantasy VIII SquareSoft 09/07/99 US Chrono Cross Square Enix 08/15/00 US there's your answer. I still want to see CC in a contest one of these days. the one chance it had was this one and it got snubbed - not that anyone on this board would give CC any credit anyway. --- xyzzy I lost a sig bet to War13104.

You know what, I think if Dragon Question got an old-school NES 8-bit
pic of the Dragon Warrior I hero, it could easily break 30%. An 8-bit
slime pic would probably have a similar impact. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

the words Metal, Gear, Solid, or Snake. ...yeah. --- Commit it to memory. |

Apro's Half-Assed Analysis (AHAA) I <3 SSBM. DQ? Mmmm, Dairy Queen. What's that you say? It's not a match against a slightly-above-average ice cream chain? I once watched someone playing DQVIII for ten or fifteen minutes while also watching someone else play Mario Kart DS while also having a discussion with two other people about video games. DQVIII looked like it's probably fun. But it's no Final Fantasy. SSBM with 75%. --- For the sake of simplicity, I'm going to refer to Gordon Freeman versus Tanner as Schrodinger's Match. -Phoenix Flattener |

I blame Ulti, stat topix elitism, and Davy Jones. Erm...I fully expect SSB to be getting the tripling. Anything else would be surprising, and I really wouldn't want to be a guy with SSB > Sonic if DQ can push it under 70%. I mean, DQ's not a total pushover, but to lift a phrase from Slowflake this is supposed to be OUR THE SUPER SMASH BROTHERS MELEE --- Commit it to memory. |

low-70's seems reasomable to me. if it drops below 70 I'll get worried,
but it doesn't need to get some ridiculous number like 80% to beat

i just saw the match pic and that is one of the sweetest match pics i have seen in a long time. ^_^ http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/bse/bse12.jpg although, it does look like the SSB squad is chasing the DQ8 guys right out of the contest. --- "In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women...." - Homer Simpson |

That's more like it! As for the match pic... SSB: Let's beat these nubs. DQ: Oh ****, let's run!

And I don't trust your initial instinct, because I'm betting that pre-SpC2k4 your initial instinct is just the opposite. to be perfectly honest, my pre-Sp2K4 instinct said that Soul Calibur would put up a mighty fight against Kingdom Hearts and that i didn't understand why this board underestimated it so much. and that's on the books 150 or so topics ago. admittedly, i also knew before this contest that SC's popularity has certainly slid since then (SC3 barely made a dent anywhere). i also acknowledged that it's 2K4 ranking had to be taken with a grain of salt due to all of the Starcraft wackiness. that being said, i'd still go with SC over DMC - but not by a whole lot. SC2K2 - i took Tidus over Sonic. SC2K3 - i took Yuna over Knuckles AND Wario over Shadow. Well that's your own stupid fault X_X what? they seemed like good picks at the time.... >_> --- "In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women...." - Homer Simpson |

I'm actually bracing myself for a good amount of DQ whining tomorrow.
It may not be unwarranted, but when perhaps the most respected RPG
series of all time gets at least doubled by something that's barely a
series, fans are going to be miffed. --- Commit it to memory. |

Message From Ultima_X at 2006-07-12 10:04:07 No idea what's causing it, but the numbers for every poll are slightly off from what they were after 24 hours. For a couple of random examples, Kingdom Hearts had 81729 votes after 24 hours. Now it has 81735. Mario had 108512 votes after 24 hours. Now it has 108723. I know that someone has already noted that the poll hasn't been catching the final update for each match, but I thought that was fixed? And even if it isn't, almost nothing only manages 6 votes in five minutes, and it's like that for pretty much all the polls in the contest so far. Last year, there was some glitch that prevented the voting in Mario/Joanna Dark from closing. A couple of people used proxies to vote a few times afterwards as a test, and it worked. Was that glitch never fixed? Message From GameFAQs at 2006-07-12 19:30:15 The final cache of the day was cleared for all previous polls; there were a few straggler votes that got in between the time of the last cache and the vote closing. There is no difference between the number of votes shown now and the official number of votes recorded at the close of the poll. Does this mean I have to wait a little bit before updating my stats? By the way, I went and fixed everything early this morning, though please note if you see any errors. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game. Ever."
