The name "Mario" may represent more than just the series. It may be "OMG MARIO *votes*" ;-) --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=579987 - Wanna report a TOS violation! Go to Snack Attack and we can help! |

I don't think anyone logical is arguing that anything outside of FF or Zelda can beat Mario... --- Commit it to memory. |

Yeah, that's one thing I fear about MM -- that it may embody the entire
Mega Man collection of games instead of the originals. However, I've
been convinced by therealmnm that MMX and MM both being in the bracket
while 100,000+ voters see the polls everyday will let voters know
there's a difference, not to mention the match-picture as well. Even
still though, I believe SMK is a bigger game than any MMX game on the
SNES, and I maintain MK64 would beat any Mega Man game you mention. --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=585007 |

Hey, my prediction for FF looks pretty good right now! ...Too bad it won't stay there and I'm boxed in by two other guys in the crew. So...does FF go up or down from here?

It's not quite as fierce as Cloud or Sephiroth voting, but you could

I think the Mega Man name would also extend to the Battle Network series and the Zero series, on top of the NES Mega Man games, which I believe to be quite strong.

ass ****ing at 12 in the afternoon. Yeah, we must have got our wires

Man, a 6.4% jump in an area where it's extremely difficult to increase percentage. Yeah, this is going to be ugly. And I'd expect Diablo to be around Warcraft, at least not far off one way or the other. SMB/Warcraft ought to give us an idea of whether or not it even stands a prayer of hitting 40% on FF. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Mumei has just informed me that Final Fantasy had the biggest five minute update of the contest so far: 1270.
