I think it's rather weak continually falling back on one isolated
incident. There's reason to believe that Tifa overperformed on Vyse. I
don't see much reason to believe that here. Quick question leonheart; what does FF get on loz in the final? --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

My prediction for FF/Zelda is 57/43, a modest but still significant increase of my initial expectations for a 55/45 match. (well, I use the term 'initial' loosely...my INITIAL expectations were of Zelda winning 52/48) --- Commit it to memory. |

Loz failing to break 45% on ff in my eyes seems a bit more ridiculous. Assuming diablo isn't a flop, or nothing is off with this match, that would make FF capable of quading if not breaking 85% on over half the series in the contest. I find that a little hard to believe. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

Resident Evil, which I feel is being underestimated RE is vastly overestimated...thanks to Ceej overseeding it to build up its bandwagoning power AND giving it the weakest entrant of the 32 that are here next to Madden as a first round foe, that being Shadow Hearts. And think about it...what has RE or its characters ever done in these contests? Maybe 1 Sweet 16 appearance due to weaker competition? (I cant remember honestly what it has done but I know it was nothing notable...little help here, fellow Elites!) Regardless of what Wesker or Nemesis or Leon or Claire or Jill or whoever else did in the past...Ryu will be giving it the old Hadoken...and this victory by the King of Fighters will seal the deal for my perfect bracket when that happens...oooh i am giddy just thinking about it! :) --- Steve Illumina: Sage of Board 8, Hated by Fanbabies, Loved by the Masses.

But were not going to accomplish much throwing the same conjecture at
each other over and over, so we should probably just agree to disagree
and wait until ff comes up again. Were practically ignoring one of the
most talked about matches in the contest less then ten hours before
it's going to start. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

Loz failing to break 45% on ff in my eyes seems a bit more ridiculous. Ocarina of Time barely broke 46%. You're saying the entire series couldn't do 1.82% better and break 55%? Assuming diablo isn't a flop, or nothing is off with this match, that would make FF capable of quading if not breaking 85% on over half the series in the contest. I find that a little hard to believe. I don't. Final Fantasy VII is capable of quadrupling half the Games Contest field. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Why is LoZ failing to break 45% on FF somehow ridiculous? Even without
this match, I'd expect FF to be much more diverse (and thus stronger)
than FFVII than LoZ is from OoT. This being bigger than FFVII/OoT was
anticipated, and it ain't that crazy to go from 54/46 to 55/45. --- Commit it to memory. |

FFVII being closer to FF overall than OoT is to Zelda overall. They're both franchises that have spanned many, many systems over the course of twenty-something years.

Don't forget that Zelda's facing the entire series, not just FF7...

The "series" factor really does seem to be playing a big part in this
contest. I think a lot people thought this would on gamesake or by
characters. Which is why I am worried about SSB/Sonic now. KB |

Yes, but leon made the statement as if it was the entire ff
franchise making up a 1.something difference on the exact same thing
ff7 faced. Both series are more then the sum of one game. Much more. But you're missing the point. You start with FFVII's performance on Ocarina of Time. Then you throw the rest of the games from each series there. I think it's ridiculous to say that it adds more for Zelda than it does for Final Fantasy. There's more room for it to go up, in my personal opinion. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

In fact, I really, *really* think FF has more going for it
strength-wise than Zelda...and for my argument, we'll use the only
thing I care about -- MGS! Zeldas I would take to beat MGS: OoT LttP LoZ (*maybe* 50/50, but I still take it to win) Zeldas I would take MGS to beat: Wind Waker Majora's Mask Zelda II Link's Awakening etc. Now for Final Fantasy!: FFVII (poor, poor MGS) FFX FF8 FF6 FFs I would take MGS to beat: FFT FF9 FF4 FF etc. FF up by one, FF wins! No, this isn't a real argument, but I've been waiting for a few topics to shove this in and this is as good an opportunity as any! --- Commit it to memory. |

Both series are so large they probably have a fairly overlapping
fanbase too. We won't really know until the two face off though. ...I thoguht we were supposed to end this already. You guys suck. >_> Mario kart vs. mega man is coming up in less then ten hours. Discuss --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

I'm so tired of Mega Man v. Mario Kart I could puke! Honestly, I wouldn't be shocked to see either of the series up by 55%+. It just depends on what people value. I will lose faith in Sonic if MM flops though, just for kicks. --- Commit it to memory. |

Also consider that the Ocarina of Time has a noticeably higher play
rate than Final Fantasy VII does on this site (and Zelda compared to
FF, at that rate). You've got an additional 10% who haven't played
FFVII but have played at least one other Final Fantasy game. More room
to go up. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Maybe 1 Sweet 16 appearance due to weaker competition? (I cant
remember honestly what it has done but I know it was nothing
notable...little help here, fellow Elites!) It's had a couple of midcarder level characters and one appearance in the game contest where MGS broke 70% on RE1. And I agree with you about RE being overrated in the bracket. I'm hoping Street Fighter can pull off the upset. --- Organization XIII - Number III - Xordac Currently Playing - Suikoden V, Capcom vs. SNK 2 |

For some reason, I find myself losing faith in Mario Kart lately. I can't really explain it.

MGS/RE is probably SFF (and actually has more of a basis
than FFVII/MGS SFF in theoretical terms), plus RE isn't the strongest
RE game whereas I *know* SFII is. --- Commit it to memory. |

I know it was, and taking the RE series as we used to know it versus
the SF series as we know it I'd be wont to say the match was probably
dead-even (just as those polls show it). But RE just got RE4, and I
don't see what SF has to combat this new edge it has. It's like asking
Bowser to compete with Snake after MGS4. --- Commit it to memory. |

Judging from Halo 2, KH2, and GTA San Andreas I don't think RE4 will be doing much for the series' strength. --- Organization XIII - Number III - Xordac Currently Playing - Suikoden V, Capcom vs. SNK 2 |

Hmmm...But how much with RE4 add to the series as a whole, really? It's
hard to say for sure, because we don't know if SF was more popular
before that or not. And if so, by how much? It's difficult to gauge. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Please don't tell me you're comparing the flops of the 128 division to
this. Those games probably kept them from looking that much worse, if
anything. --- Commit it to memory. |

The main thing that Halo 2 added to Halo was that it made it a series.
I doubt it would've lost by any significant margin more without it. But then again, we just can't say for sure. Yeah, we can guess that GTA maybe loses worse without San Andreas, but can we be positive about that? Not at all. Remember that San Andreas actually ranks one spot higher on our beloved list than Resident Evil 4 does. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

For some reason, I find myself losing faith in Mario Kart lately. I can't really explain it. I feel the same. It's almost that I now want MM to win instead. I still have no idea which game I will vote for but I think Megaman will win by over 60% --- 1f u c4n r34d th1s u r34lly n33d t0 g37 l41d |

It's hard to say for sure, because we don't know if SF was more popular
before that or not. And if so, by how much? It's difficult to gauge. I guess it *seems* difficult to gauge, but I know the RE fanbase, and RE4 has not only reinvented the series, but rejuvenated the fanbase as a whole. I hardly waited on bated breath for a new RE game in the past, but after RE4 I'm counting the days until RE5 comes out. RE4 is so much more than a Halo 2, a San Andreas, or a KH2.

I'll say what I said in another topic some time ago: if Metal Gear
Solid 4 were to be as proportionally popular to the previous games in
the series as Resident Evil 4 was to the previous games in its series,
MGS4 wins the next game contest. Yeah. --- Commit it to memory. |

Why Mega Man Will Win By Steve Illumina Kiddies...Newbies...Nintendites...Fanbabies...hear the Sage of Board 8 as he speaks more of his immense gaming wisdom on ye all. Mega Man will win tomorrow...and the reason is this: "The Illumina Theory of Offshooting" This Theory states this: "A 2nd tier RPG will always score roughly 1/4 of the vote against the offshoot of an established series of another genre, and the established series of said offshoot will always score roughly 55% of the vote against the offshoot of an established series of equal gaming type when the opposing offshoot is not of the same game type!" A mouthful to swallow yes...so finish eating your Cocoa Puffs and pay attention. Ok Good. Now, Mega Man X beat leading 2nd tier RPG series Suikoden by a 73% vote. Now, Mega Man, the father of offshoot MMX, will beat Mario Kart, offshoot of Mario Bros, with a 55% (+/-1 or 2%) even though the parent series are of similar gaming styles and fanbases but the offshoot MK is a driving game... Which brings me to Illumina's 4th Law of Gamefaqs: Sports games will never win a match here. Mario Kart technically is a driving game so it is a sports game. Hence, it is doomed. Then there are the intangibles in MM favor: Anyone who voted for MMX will vote for MM, for there is total overlap of the fanbases. Also Zeroheads, ProtoPeeps, and the like will draw them in. And anyone who can hum the theme to MM2 or the Dr. Wily bosses' tune in MM3 also will cast their ballot for the Blue Bomber out of sheer nostalgic love. Also, the true series traditionalists voting bloc, the same ones who led CV and WC over their overhyped not really series yet competition will also stick with the series mentality and take the longer 19 yr established series, MM. Finally, bracket voters who took the higher seed, #4 Mega, over #5 Kart, will seek to preserve their perfects and such. It will be close...scary close...even GTA/Warcraft close is possible. Yet, in the name of my perfect bracket, I look forward to staying up tonight, wearing my Hard Hat, and riding my lil Rush Jet skateboard around as I watch the Blue Bomber take the early lead and run with it all the way to Dr. Cassock's lair! I feel we will have no more than 500 perfects after Kart is dispatched too! And no more than 300 after Elder Scrolls is beaten within 10 minutes the day after that! :) --- Steve Illumina: Sage of Board 8, Hated by Fanbabies, Loved by the Masses. Score: 13-0.

I will write "Why Street Fighter Will Beat RE" when the match comes up! It will make believers out of many! For now though I will say this: I did not even think about that match. I picked SF and did not think twice.

*COMPARISONS GAME- (4) Mega Man vs. (5) Mario Kart* Sales MM2, to my knowledge, is the only MM game to sell more than 1 million copies.

Advantage: Mario Kart Board Odds Project Match prediction: Mega Man- 87 Mario Kart- 46 The most split match in the first round, but still quite clearly in favor of MM. Advantage: Mega Man Point value: Mega Man- 87 Mario Kart- 46 Predictably, no one has these two going past the second round.

Just look at Mega Man/Link in 2004 and tell me there wasn't some SFF there. But does the Nintendo fanbase favor Mario Kart? I think it does. It's Mario, the games have sold way more than any MM game, and let's face it--it's Nin****ingtendo. Advantage: Mario Kart Conclusion The winner won't get more than 55%. But Mario Kart's support from the Nintendo fanbase should be enough to squeak by the Blue Bomber, who sure isn't gaining any fans nowadays. Mario Kart with 54%. --- "Thank you, Mario.

In reality, the sheer number of Mega Man releases gives him the sales advantage over Mario Kart. However, if you're just going by Mega Man Classic, then Mario Kart slaughters it. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

MM2, to my knowledge, is the only MM game to sell more than 1 million copies. Mega Man 2 is just the highest selling Mega Man game, but it's not the only one to sell over a million copies. 1.) Mega Man 2 -- 1.5 million 2.) Mega Man Battle Network 3 -- 1.31 million 3.) Mega Man Battle Network 4 -- 1.17 million 4.) Mega Man X -- 1.16 million 5.) Mega Man 3 -- 1.07 million (Note: Japan really loved MMBN, America not so much.) --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |
