Above 80% for Zelda. Now I really hope MM can break 20% on FF. (Just so we have some proof that MM > MMX)

I really think that from now on, we should start a new table for contest stats related to votals. The poll start time obviously increases votes dramatically, as well as the new poll location. We're looking at high vote totals in matches like SH/Fire Emblem, for christ's sake.

the second part is true; the first, not so much. the changing of the poll time isn't going to magically bring 20,000 people to vote.

let's see here...

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2414

for a regular old non-contest poll that started at 3am, it got almost 90k votes. some contest matches last year didn't get that. it's all about the poll position.

Match 18 - Pokemon vs Metroid

Well, the less said about the first round matches for these two, the better. Pokemon owned me, ending up with very nearly a doubling against what can only be a very weak Star Ocean. Metroid finished above 70% against Kirby, possibly with a hint of SFF, possibly people recognising that Kirby doesn't have that many strong games, in any case, it did a bit better than most people expected. If there was SFF present, it can only spell doom for Pokemon. I really hope this is a massive SFF beatdown of epic proportions, and that Pokemon is dispatched from this contest in the funniest of fashions. Having said that, it'll probably be a lame 65/35 or something like that.

Bracket says: Metroid
Favourites bracket says: Metroid
Vote says: Metroid
Prediction: Metroid with 66.62%

Fun fact of the day: After having his guru bracket survive right until the penultimate match in summer 2005 (pesky Crono), jonthomson was the first out this time around. Pokemowned? I think so.

...Is a blowout like this going to be the third highest scoring match of all time?

That is the one downside of higher votals. Mario/Cloud deserves to be third a whole lot more than this match. The fact that a match from 2002 has held on to third this long is pretty amazing (and a testiment to how crazy that match was).

I'll approve only because it means that he'll be getting blasted by Mega Man's Buster Cannon.

Actually, I'd expect something like a Cactuar for Final Fantasy against Mega Man, but will CJayC use a Metool again for Mega Man?

Question, though, what could pass off as a generic enemy for Pokémon? The overabundant Pidgeys and Rattatas and Zubats?

God, I hope CJayC at least uses decent sprites for Pokémon. Many of the RBY ones (especially Red and Blue) were HORRIBLE.

Assuming this match follows the GTA/Warcraft vote curve, it's now fallen off pace to overtake Cloud/Mario in total votes. A couple hours ago it was on pace to hit 130k. Of course, that assumption may not be correct.

As much as I'd like to see a miraculous Pokemon upset here, the smart part of me knows that it doesn't stand a chance in hell. Samus' series is simply the more popular one among Nintendo fans. Metroid with 65%.

*Back from commercial break*

OK my loyal fans and haters, our next segment deals with the 2nd match of Round 2, that being Pokemon vs Metroid...2 hardcore Nintendite camps going at it. Both with devoted fans and detractors alike...

In an effort to get the word on the street...or shall I say..the playground...I went with a hidden camera and checked out some playgrounds in the area to get a firsthand observation at just what this match means to some little Nintendites out there!

*Picnic Table at Middle School*

Bobby: "I really need a Pikachu card...my lil bro ripped mine up!"

Tommy: "Awww..."

Sarah: "Well I got an extra one at home, Ill give it to you tomorrow."

Bobby: "Really?"

Sarah: "Yah, Pokemon is SOOO 2 yrs ago anyway. I prefer Yu-Gi-Oh!"

Tommy: "Yu-Gi-Oh? The only card game worth playing is Magic!"

Sarah: "Nah that is stupid. And besides, I gots like 1000 Yu-Gi-Oh cards! Every time I go to GameStop I buy some! They are cooler than makeup and purses and that other sissy stuff all my friends love to buy"

Bobby: "Wait a minute, you callin Pokemon names?"

Sarah: 'Yes, *giggles* It dont got a chance tomorrow either. Are you following that GameFAQS contest Tommy?"

Tommy: "Yah, I love that site. Its da bomb! And my bracket is doing good too. My mom had to enter it for me cause I am too young and stuff. But I got her to do it. Id have a perfect score if that Warcrap game would not have won! I dont even know what that game is..must be old or something..."

Sarah: "Thats cool, I aint in it, I just vote and stuff. I really love the pictures!"

Bobby: "Well Pokemon will win tomorrow, you'll see!"

(Bobby gets up and takes his Pokemon card pile with him...)

Sarah/Tommy: "What a nerd..."

Sage: "See folks, it seems like Pokemon has its fans, but Metroid does too. Looks to me like it will be a decent match, but I gotta give the nod to Metroid. Peeps just seem to love it more. Now, time for another commercial break."

Match XVIII: (3) Pokemon vs. (2) Metroid

Past Matches

Pokemon
Defeated Star Ocean, 65.74% - 34.26%

Metroid
Defeated Kirby, 70.57% - 29.43%

Analysis:

After what the board made out to be a close match, Pokemon destroyed Star Ocean with ease setting up a small bandwagon right after the match for an upset today. Metroid beaten a fellow Nintendo series, SFF it to the ground.

As much as I would love for an upset Pokemon will lose to Metroid and will suffer SFF from it just like Kirby did. Will Pokemon get beaten worse than Kirby did? In a direct match-up I would pick Kirby to beat Pokemon, but I think Pokemon will out do Kirby against Metroid but just barely. Pokemon is more known than Kirby, but it is one of the only series that gets a noticeable amount of anti-votes. Even though they may have dropped off over the past few years they are still there.

I have to feel sorry for Pokemon though ever since 2k3 (and 2k2 because of Mario/Cloud) it has always been SFF and in this contest it will receive double SFF, one from this match and another in LoZ/Metroid.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Metroid over Pokemon

charmander6000’s Prediction: Metroid wins, 69.17% - 30.73%
