holy crap....... i'm surprised noone posted this yet: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/user.php?user=278670&board=8&topic=29239442 Tijan DID get suspended for that thing about 3 votes. they aren't messing around. and i'm actually a little annoyed that FF is doing this well. i thought i finally called the score right at the start of the match. but, no - apparently i was STILL off by 5.5%.

wait. final fantasy got over 1200 in one update. i thought FFs supposedly start bad and then regain everything until they power to victory. --- Kilroy:Their fate will be in each other's hands as they decide whether to share or to shaft. BrentfordFC-championship here we come |

Good to see you Ulti... why has Rate the Game stopped in GTA III? http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=29213437 And also, if you want, I made some pictures for you to update this page: http://www.freewebs.com/mmxcalibur/summercontest2005.htm --- ALL HAIL!

Holy ****, this match is only 500 behind GTA/Warcraft, and it's in a match with Diablo. LoZ/FF is seriously going to break 175k. When I was looking at the match updates for GTA/Warcraft, I noticed the lead was never once over 1500. That has to bode well for w2w, yes? --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz I admire MYC, for she is the pinnacle of human wit, poise, and beauty. |

Heh if we are going to talk about actual performance in round 1, then Super Mario Bros is untouchable! I didn't see FF or LoZ breaking 90%. I'm not sure but hasn't Madden sold more than Diablo? Mario actually got a new big game released recently unlike FF and Loz which we have been waiting for forever (FFXII and TP) It's freaking Mario we are talking about here. Conclusion: Super Mario Bros wins this contest just like Sephiroth won the villian contest. ^_^ --- 1f u c4n r34d th1s u r34lly n33d t0 g37 l41d |

I wanted to see Zelda win to watch the Vlado whining, personally. He got away with it in the World Cup with his Brazil-bashing.

Heh if we are going to talk about actual performance in round 1, then Super Mario Bros is untouchable! Not when Diablo is far stronger than Madden and Final Fantasy is looking to out do SMB's individual vote gain. 92% against Madden is nowhere near as impressive as 85% against Diablo. The rest of the post, possibly this statement too, seems like a joke though. >> --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

thing Nintendo fanboys are willing to vote FF until a better

Untouchable is pushing it. No, not really. Final Fantasy is not going to get any type of challenge in this contest. I really do not see how people still don't see that after seeing the performance today along with Zelda's and SMB's.

I don't see why you guys are actually saying even Mario has a chance. I love Mario and all but this guy's probably going to get doubled if FF puts up yet another strong performance. Zelda? I'm losing faith in it even breaking 45% now. this is DIABLO guys. not Madden. not Civilization. there's no real outside force that can really beat FF now. you don't get 85% on Diablo that easily. --- * Is Dranze * |

Fiction. Just. FF might bob around the 60% area a lot, but it won't be
consistently over that mark throughout. It could go as low as 55% at
one point, but I doubt it'd go any lower. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz I admire MYC, for she is the pinnacle of human wit, poise, and beauty. |

As per last night, my gut tells me that Diablo takes it over The Elder
Scrolls. I really don't know what to expect out of it, though. I still
Diablo could take out half the field, though the repercussions of that
statement are about as big as they can be. And now people are just making up excuses to find solace in. Final Fantasy is not losing this contest, it's not going to let anything break 40% on it until Zelda, and I really doubt Zelda breaks 45% in that match. --- Commit it to memory. |

Heh, I knew FF wouldn't hold that percentage overnight. I mean, 84% was
just crazy for a non-fodder series like Diablo. FF is strong, but not
that beastly. Good to see the percentage stabilized at around 80%... *checks poll* Yep... *checks again* ...IT'S PUSHING 85.5% AND GOING UP?!?! Holy crap... --- Moltar Status: Disappointed, I lost my perfect bracket. Final Fantasy vs. Diablo - Bracket: FF - Vote: FF (10/12) |
