How have the last game contests gone for FF vs LoZ?

The only one I can remember is the one where LoZ OoT(?) got taken out before the final match. It was FFVII(?) vs Chrono Trigger. I don't remember when that was though and I've been gone for about ~2 years.

I think that i was a individual game contest but honestly I'm having trouble remembering which Zelda and which FF it was.

Maintenance at a rather inconvenient time.

Is this the beginning of the end or just a random Zelda spike? =/

...O_O at the lag.

I posted that at 7:03 or 7:04... and it only registered then.

Then again, the lag increases exponentially for me in the Stats Topic, for whatever reason.

Maintenance? Now? WTF, Ceej

Final Fantasy VII won the Games Contest and took out OoT. Link to the Past lost to Chrono Trigger. FF6 lost to Link to the Past. Wind Waker lost to Starcraft. FFX lost to SSBM. The original LoZ and FF both got beaten by Mario 3.

Oh, and FFT lost to MGS...just thought I'd throw it in because I'm sure some people are voting for FF based on that.

well, look at that. Final Fantasy did start pushing back. it looks like this could be the closest final match we have ever had. although the 7:00 update was the biggest update Zelda won since 3:50. the day vote could be about to start......

Well, FF is still cutting into the lead.

Not as fast as before, but we are approaching/at the morning vote, so that's not too unexpected.

Another small, small slice for FF. Too small to matter in the grand scheme of things, but I'm surprised Zelda isn't winning updates by triple digit votes right now.

The increase in votals means that people are gradually starting to awaken. This next hour is very crucial... and then 8-9 will probably tell us whether it's going to be a barn burner.... or if Zelda will do what it normally does.

Karma Hunter | Posted 8/1/2006 4:22:44 AM | message detail
Well, not to put a damper on this, but it's not *quite* morning yet. Metal Gear was still gaining bits of percentage at this time, and it's about as much of a weakling with the morning vote as you can imagine.

...which brings back the inevitable reality of a Zelda victory, but facts have never been my strong point. Final Fantasy will win! This is the Colbert Report!

Awesome, the final was the hardest match to predict before the contest started (IMO) and now it seems that it will also be the best match in this contest.

Meh, this match isn't very good IMO. We all know that there is almost no chance of FF winning the day vote, and with a 1400 vote deficit to make up, it really doesnt have a shot...

But Final Fantasy still has it in the bag!

Keeping trends in mind and not focusing on what's happening at the moment makes comebacks boring. Snake almost came back against Mario. You remember that!

To be fair, Metal Gear was still holding on to its percentage here...but FF is better with the day vote (a lot ****ing better), and that match was on a weekend.

I really don't understand what's going on today. I would think FF would be winning because FF7 beat OoT. Adding the other games in the series seems like it would help FF more, too.

I'd love it, with a capital L, if FF took the day vote and made this a thriller. That being said... I just don't think it happens.
