I can't wait to see how Madden and Star Ocean are going to look like statistically when this contest is over.

If Pokemon gets 25% on Metroid gets 25% on Legend of Zelda gets 40% of FF (a more or less worse case scenario), Star Ocean ends up at 6.85%. Not quite challenging Tanner, but pretty damn low.

Madden will probably end up in the 5.5-6.2% range (35-40% for SMB); again, not quite challenging our good friend Tanner. Which should give you some idea of how much Tanner really, really sucks.

I think Squaresoft could keep it closer than Zelda (at least before SFF), but FF takes it.

This is absurd. I was considering voting FF because I do like it more... but damn, I'm glad I didn't. Diablo needs our pity.

Consider if Diablo beats Warcraft. Then consider FF getting 85% on GTA?! I hate you, FF, I hate hate hate hate hate you!

Mario must get these numbers on Warcraft! Keep the contest interesting!

Raiden is still [!!] nominations short!

Actually, I do find it interesting to see how high Final Fantasy can go.

Of course, I think I'm in the minority because it was part of the reason I didn't want Clinkeroth pulled from the main bracket. Seeing them pull a "Anything you can do, I can do better!" was fun.

So basically, you can end up behind a MASSIVE wall of SFF and still kick Tanner's ass? Awesome.

*gets home*

whoa

RPG SFF!!! I'm really not that surprised... but I thought Diablo would manage to get at least 20%. maybe it'll do better in the daytime... but holy hell. Slow, when you do most impressive of the first round, I hope this gets your top spot. damn.

Final Fantasy would blow Squaresoft out. I don't see fans voting for a company over the game.

And then there's taking into account the general wisdom that series > games > characters. So, yeah, even assuming something *very* tame (FF gets 55% on FFVII, FFVII gets 55% on Link 2k5), Tanner becomes nothing.

As for all this GTA talk. Diablo vs. Warcraft is debatable, but make no mistake: Final Fantasy would make Grand Theft Auto look like a jobber of Shawn Stasiak proportions.

I think Nintendo beats Final Fantasy... Nintendo's just got alot more to it than a company name, and it's a very recognizable company name, too. But Squaresoft doesn't do jack, Squaresoft gets squashed.

This is simply a ridiculous beating. I can't see FF7 getting more than 40% on this beast, let alone 45%. Hell, I'm invisioning a doubling with ease.

(00:32:53) The Supercomputer: I went looking for the poll two minutes before it was supposed to go on. It wasn't there so it had to be late.
(00:33:08) The Supercomputer: Probably got stuck in traffic or something.

I should have posted this earlier.

well, it isn't hard to make up percentage when you're getting beat down this badly, and Diablo the character had a pretty nice day vote. we'll see if Diablo can make this respectable.

I'm kinda glad this is happening because a lot of people here would have overestimated Diablo 2 had it made the games contest. (Diablo 2 = Starcraft on the list, anyone? not to mention a game that never leaves the top 50? and battle.net support?)
