Interestingly, I was talking to Mumei and he mentioned how the Big
Three would all perform similarly on these types of opponents, which
seems like it'd make some sense just given how far above everything
these three are. It's also true simply because at this point, gaining %age becomes very hard. The difference in performance of the big three at these levels couldn't be that big, unless one would get SFF that another wouldn't. And yes, the idea that the big three could get SFF on almost anything other than each other has been brought up before, and has merit. But of course certain SFF candidates would be much more severe than others. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

The only instance I can see myself rooting for Kingdom Hearts is if it
gets Leon and/or Captain Jack Sparrow in the match picture. If that happens, victory is certain. --- Some stories can't be told by words. Some legends are meant to die. Knowing your enemy is the quickest path to victory. |

AMazing that the only series of the foursome that was not favored over KH was Harvest freakin Moon. Like 2/3 of the perfects picked Castlvania. |

All right, just to be all boring and realistic, what percentage is Metal Gear likely to get on Kingdom Hearts? I really don't think it's getting higher than 55/56. Although, Snake really did pulverize Sora, which wasn't pretty. I'm hoping that KH2's recency overrides the sff snake blasted Sora with. The most realistic percentage I'll allow myself to hope for with KH is 52/53. --- Revenge is a dish best served cold. ~ Old Klingon Proverb |

I'm going to clarify one thing -- Mario does *not* have a shot at
winning this. It has a .1% shot at beating FF -- sure, I'll buy. But
Zelda? 50% of GameFAQs prefers Zelda to EVERY SINGLE OTHER NINTENDO
SERIES. It's not even a contest. It's got all the intangibles, all the
game, all the SFF...it's just not happening. It would be the greatest
thing ever if it would...but GameFAQs doesn't deal much in those sorts
of things. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

I thought she was just kidding, so I didn't post that part. here's your chances based on the single most disgusting match of GameFAQS Contest history: That isn't Kuja/Master Hand... But still, Super Mario Brothers 3 would have held up much better there, I think. Ocarina of Time would've slaughtered it, sure, but I think it might have had a small chance at 35-40%. --- Some stories can't be told by words. Some legends are meant to die.

Oh damn, forgot. Ed Bellis's Retroactive Contest Analysis! So we've got Mario, which upset Madden in Round One. And we've got Warcraft, which upset Grand Theft Auto in Round One. Even match, maybe. WRONG! Warcraft may have dealt with Italians before (see: last round), but Mario's no ordinary Italian. It'll need some serious vote rallying to defeat it... which it will, because all eighty million or so WoW players will get up and ROCK THE VOTE, causing the site to collapse. Whoops. Prediction: Gordon Freeman with 44.59% --- This was Ed Bellis. |
