has anyone explained why Ashe is picking her nose, though?

She's just touching her nose, not picking it. >>

Mario has to get 47% on FF before I'd start worrying about Zelda taking it down.

I'll say 40+% for me before I say LoZ > FF. Link has beat Mario with 60+% before and is still predicted by the stats to do so, and we know the Nintendo-poll where LoZ itself got more votes than every other Nintendo franchise in the poll -- Mario itself had about 25% of it.

Apparently, the final game is nothing like the demo that came with DQ8, which is a very good thing. For the most part, it seems to be considered a great game.

I think the kiddies woke up.

more like the MG fans went to bed.

I was going to suggest a classic FF1 fighter picture and then an FFX-2 dark knight picture, but someone else beat me to it. hell, I didn't even know that one Amano picture was supposed to be from FF1. if I don't know, I doubt many others do.

Those are some high expectations, though I'm personally expecting FF in that range myself. But even if it doesn't, it won't make me jump ship.

And you people with your match pictures never cease to amaze me.

And by the way, Metal Gear has really held up fairly well with the day vote. Zelda has barely gained a percent from its stabilized percentage last night (though I know Metal Gear brought it down some as the night progressed).

Yeah, I've read about certain features of FF12 that weren't in the demo. Still, the demo didn't inspire too much hope. I'll likely end up buying the collector's edition anyway, though.

Final Fantasy does not need 60%+ in order to be looking good against Zelda at all. And I really wish people would stop using that awful poll. It holds no relevance at all anymore. It was taken in 2001 for crying out loud. If you think things have remained the same between the two in recent years you'd have to be crazy. There is no way Mario only gets 25% in that poll if you take it again.

The latter, although that picture makes everything a bit tougher to gauge, as does the ambiguity between Mario and Zelda. Honestly, no one is sure just how much stronger The Legend of Zelda is. Final Fantasy could hit 60% on Mario and still have its hands full with Zelda.

Honestly, in a match between Mario and Final Fantasy, I seriously doubt the match picture will account for much. Even less than it normally does, which is already practically negligible.

Agreed. It's ****ing Mario, and it's ****ing FF. Everyone's got their minds made up before looking at the picture.* When it takes two losers like Gordon Freeman and Tina Armstrong to actually get the match pic to matter... yeah.

*Well, I don't, honestly. In terms of personal preference, FF7 > SM64 > FF6 > all other Marios, but I've been playing Mario for so long it just feels wrong, you know? There's the fact that I only played the two FFs that are considered the best, too...

Don't lie tranny. If Mario had the angry sun FF wouldn't get a single vote.

Indeed, the only scenario where I can see pictures mattering is something like Vyse/Laharl where a large portion of the voting base doesn't know who they are. Honestly, most people already have their mind made up going into this match. I haven't see anybody say that match picture made them change their vote. I've only seen them say that the match picture favors Mario.

And the main reason we think the match picture means so much is because we have plenty of time to look at it. Most voters look at it for maybe a split second before they vote.

Final Fantasy does not need 60%+ in order to be looking good against Zelda at all. And I really wish people would stop using that awful poll. It holds no relevance at all anymore. It was taken in 2001 for crying out loud. If you think things have remained the same between the two in recent years you'd have to be crazy. There is no way Mario only gets 25% in that poll if you take it again.

It may be outdated, but how much do you think the pecking order and gaps have really changed? I'll go ahead and post the poll just for easy referencing:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=525

It was taken about six months before the Gamecube was even released, yes, but let's look at Metroid here. While LoZ has had the biggest game out of all the franchises in that poll this generation, Metroid has EASILY done the most for its own franchise this generation -- Metroid Prime was GotY, MP2:E was 3rd for GotY, Metroid Fusion was GBA-GotY, MZM was GBA-GotY, MP:H had demos shipped with the DS which has gotten very popular (and I figure it's sold okay and is fairly liked), and we saw Samus in 2k2 before her games started releasing again and have compared her to now once she's really gotten big again. Metroid had 11.53% in that poll and Samus had gotten 37.94% on Link in 2k3, so you would THINK that Metroid could have nabbed more than 3.77% out of the left-over 38.42%

Metroid didn't though.

Tell me what Mario's done to put itself so much further ahead of the pack than Metroid or even LoZ this generation. I'd give you sales, but at the same time practically everybody has not only already played a Mario game, but a better Mario game than SMS or NSMB. SM64DS was essentially a nice port...what has Mario done to boost its name more than Metroid or LoZ here?

I'd rather not hear "look at the first and second Mario-polls", if that's what you have in mind. If not, carry on.

Or you'd think an insanely larger voting pool is much more likely to favor Zelda as opposed to Metroid.

Even then, with how much more Metroid has done this generation and has repeatedly won awards for it alongside Samus standing up as well as she did against Link when only MP was out, that new voter pool would favor Metroid more than it did.

To elaborate, it really doesn't matter what they've done since, it's been 5 years, and we all know that this site prior to 2003 is nothing compared to what it was during and after. It just kind of exploded, and when you get that many more people coming here and interested in it, a lot of change is going to occur.
