I am surprised LOZ is increasing it's percentage right now.

Metroid is the one series I'd have breaking the 'Noble Nine related games' thing. With RE or SF beating it.

A chick with her finger up her nose along with a blob of something. Against two ultra-badass pictures of Mario.

Time for an overperformance.

Seriously, Mario cracking 45% just *feels* more realistic the more I look at that picture. It's just so...biased.

If Final Fantasy can beat Mario with more than 60% of the vote with that pic, Zelda is finished.

Well, after the first two Mario/Cronos, a few slips of the tongue ("though I don't give it a snowball's chance against Mario"), and some of the most one-sided match pictures in history, does anyone not think Ceej is a total Mario fanboy now?

So... a generic character and a chick who most of the fanbase probably hasn't seen yet?

Please, Mario, this is your chance. I'm not expecting you to win, but at least force Final Fantasy to face Zelda with quivering knees.

What the hell is wrong with you? Do you think I'm complaining or something? I consider SMB the best series of all time.

And what is this "I had" business? I had RE > SF and preferred it as well. And SF did much better than most expected on it, which means the picture could have had some effect.

Seriously, go away.

hmm... am I the only one who thinks these "old/new" pictures essentially give the advantage to, well, the series with more history? Final Fantasy might be classic to some fans, but a lot of fans know it from 1997 and on. Mario wins that picture... not that it matters since it's friggin' Mario vs. Final Fantasy, but damn.

if he really wanted to do old/new he'd use a picture of friggin' Waluigi.

I lost a sig bet to War13104. Yes, the same guy who had Kefka over Crono. FOR THE HORDE!
Karma Hunter | Posted 7/30/2006 1:03:09 AM | message detail
Look at the picture rules, tranny. Waluigi doesn't count, as he's a Mario Party/Mario Sports exclusive character.

Yes I thought you were complaining despite less than 1% chance of SMB winning. But I don't know where the rest of your post came from... I wasn't telling you to shut up and quit complaining. Well apologies if you took offense to my post.

Well, it looks like MGS will manage to reach and keep at above 28%. Until the day arrives, at least.

It gives the advantage to series that focus on one character. Final Fantasy has plenty of history, and that's actually hurting it in this picture. Mario just has two pictures of Mario - it doesn't matter if you played his old games or not, because he looks the same.

If Ceej wanted to have a face of the Final Fantasy series, he should have just put up a picture of Uematsu. That would have been awesome.

Cloud and Sephy won't be avoiding appearances in the FF pictures, but I don't think Ceej is going to put them in ALL of the pictures, or even a majority (seeing as how multiple pictures are almost a given).

Exactly. And this makes tomorrow's match pic so horribly biased. He should've done something like Leonhart suggested: FFT Cloud -- AC Cloud. Seriously, Ashe? As if Vaan wasn't enough. The game has't even been released outside of Japan yet for crying out loud.
