Despite what all logic tells me, I would pick Cloud Strife over
Super Mario Bros. It's not that I think Characters are stronger than
games, quite the opposite. It's just that I think voters, when
confronted with a big ass picture of Cloud and the words, "Cloud
Strife", would vote for it over SMB. Nothing really to back it up. I would vote for "Cloud Strife" over "Super Mario Bros," for the record. --- "'Off guard'?... No, this is called composure." ~Shishio Makoto |

Are you guys seriously trying to convince yourselves that Zelda <
Mario, just so that Final Fantasy somehow has a chance to win this
contest? I know. >_< --- Warden: Talk! What is SeeD all about!? Squall: ...Flower. |

I convinced myself long ago that Mario > Zelda. The King of Gaming
> pansy mute and his Middle Eastern stereotype of a villain, now and
forever. --- 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 really doubt Cloud beats SMB, as long as it was clear it was the entire series (and not the NES game). --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

| The board vote only accounts for so much. I doubt Mario gets beaten that badly after holding up well for the first 20,000 votes. |

FF will creep up to 53% in the night and Mario will bring it back down to 51.8% during the day only to have it finish at 52%. --- --NL-- Where am I? |

No. I think most here have realized that SMB is not going roll over here like CT did. It should escape Ulti blow out range... --- I don't have an ego. I'm way too cool for that. |

I don't see Mario rolling over in this match like CT did, I don't think FF will break 52% at all. --- "I was trying to escape. Obviously, it didn't work." - President Bush |

Ouch. Looking at their %s per update, though, it doesn't look like FF
will end up with more than 52% by the time the day vote arrives. --- Warden: Talk! What is SeeD all about!? Squall: ...Flower. |

And it's time for me to go to bed. SMB proved that it could hang with the rest of the Big 3 and deserves its title. In about 7 hours (before the morning vote) I can see Final Fantasy having over a 2300 vote lead. --- "I was trying to escape. Obviously, it didn't work." - President Bush |
