well discussion or no; i told you all that an eastern produced game would win. Too many anime fans on these boards lol!

Uhh, are we sure that Zelda is going to get the morning vote?
Karma Hunter | Posted 8/1/2006 2:18:19 AM | message detail
Zelda has had the morning vote in every single match except one. And I'm still having trouble convincing myself Link/Cloud 2k3 even happened.

Mario made a steady gain in percentage for hours. If he could win it, then how can Zelda, which is STILL in the lead, not?

I still ask myself how CV stole the day from Halo.

That said, I think Zelda takes it still, but... it wouldn't be the first surprise I've had in terms of voting trends.

GO FF GO!!

Seriously, I'll go nuts if FF actually pulls this thing off. A 2225 vote comeback in a final? All it needs to do is slightly outdo Zelda in the morning (an near-impossibility, I know) and then go berserk tomorrow evening. Or just go berserk from now until the end of the match.

MasterOfHunters | Posted 8/1/2006 2:24:14 AM | message detail
Hmm another idea. How about we let units in the contest? I am absolutely convinced a StarCraft unit can do better than Kerrigan. Same goes for other RTS, TBS, etc..

I now have the most absurd sig ever.

A more average update. Could it be rallying for FF?

THEJackSparrow | Posted 8/1/2006 2:26:26 AM | message detail
Final Fantasy has taken off 167 votes in 15 minutes. I doubt its ability to come back if it can't do much more than this before morning, but go anyway!

id love to see a game machine contest
one bracket could be hand held
others console... eh you get the idea


virtuaboy vs sega cd anyone ?
Karma Hunter | Posted 8/1/2006 2:36:53 AM | message detail
And we begin to slow to a stall. Honestly, FF has to make these 60% updates the norm, not the exception, to make me a believer.

Karma Hunter | Posted 8/1/2006 2:39:08 AM | message detail
More importantly, FF needs to start winning 60% updates on its own power, not just Zelda dropping off. Do that, and I'll be way more receptive.

Battlescars, given the parameters you set for your proposed contest, does that mean to say you tihnk the finals will be between the Virtual Boy and Sega CD?

Hmm, I wonder if we have 32 worthwhile entries.

It'd be the PS1, the SNES wouldn't stand a chance anymore. Well, that is unless those PS2 n00bs take it ftw on the back of.. ahem.. backwards compatability.

Final Fantasy needs to gain about 40 votes per update if it wants to be on even ground before the morning vote.

Of course, the bracket wouldn't be complete without the N-Gage.

You could throw Windows, Mac, and DOS into a platform bracket if you wanted to. Not to mention the Master System, Intellivision, Colecovision, N-Gage, and many older consoles.

Why would the PS2 win such a contest? I can't think of a single advantage it has over the PS1, other than maybe recency, and I'd certainly take nostalgia over recency in a strength factors contest.

MasterOfHunters | Posted 8/1/2006 2:47:30 AM | message detail
Depends how you look at the backwards compatability issue. Wii could wipe the floor with everything for all we know, with you know, being backwards compatible with NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Turbo-Grafx/CD, Genesis, and possibly more? But I say PS1 has it in the bag.
