Really, it's about longevity. A 1v1 contest for games is plenty
unpredictable at this point, so why go with the four way format when
it's not needed? It's possible that this ridiculous format could get
pretty predictable with repetition too. Then where do you go? Tag team
matches? 8 way matches? Exactly. Among other things... there's propriety to be considered. It's not like the advocates are making a strong argument either, what with the woefully predictable affairs I've seen touted as reasons for such a contest. --- delicious cats Commit it to memory. |

I think that, until the Game Contest becomes a regular thing, we don't
need to worry about gimmicks on top of it. It may make it more
unpredictable, but I'd like something more controlled until we start to
get too tight of a grasp on it. --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board. Life-changing details below: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=35717580 |

I don't see why it works one way but not the other. Are you saying
that you can't draw anything from these matches to apply to 1v1 matches? You can, but with four people in it there's so much more SFF involved it would be just that much more difficult to discern for the 1v1 matches. --- ~*~ExThaNemesis~*~ I do a lot of pushups and situps, and I drink plenty of juice.

You can, but with four people in it there's so much more SFF
involved it would be just that much more difficult to discern for the
1v1 matches. Either way, you're getting the same amount of knowledge. If you can discern how much the SFF was around to boil things in a 4 way down to a 1v1 match, you're good to go. Similarly, if you can place the 1v1 games properly in the SFF food chain into a 4 way match, you're good to go. It's the same difficulty, just applying it backwards or forwards. I don't see any more difficulty. --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

I swear! As fun as this match is, it'd be even more fun if picking 3rd and 4th place had come into the question here.

KH, stop that immediately. <_< It's true, though. Ask anyone in here what's more predictable - this: Final Fantasy VII Super Smash Brothers Brawl Twilight Princess Ocarina of Time or just this: Final Fantasy VII Ocarina of Time Maybe I'm just alone, but I want to see the latter MUCH more than the former. --- delicious cats Commit it to memory. |

You know what I was telling you to stop. You know full well who I am, damnit. And I'll agree, the latter there is probably the most wanted match there is. I just think as a whole the Fourway games contest would be 5x more unpredictable than the 1v1 Regular stuff. And as I said, both forms would be awesome at this point. --- ~*~ExThaNemesis~*~ I do a lot of pushups and situps, and I drink plenty of juice.

Not enough, etc. Like said, Arthas and Diablo are going to spend the entire day killing each other while KOS-MOS does the bare minimum needed to advance.

I think you're a bit harsh on Mega Man, by the way. 50% is about what
I'd expect from a Sonic or a Samus here... maybe 55%, but this is
hardly "embarrassing". --- "where the heck does diablo get his votes from on weekends? He should be losing because christians are fresh from the church and voting against evil" -voltch |

KOS-MOS is doing great right now, but don't undermine Diablo's (or even
Arthas's?) chance here. Blizzard fans ARE being linked here on WoW's
forum (and don't put it past DII's front page again either), he's in a
difficult position so rallying might become more encouraged, Diablo
definitely has a solid day-vote while Mega Man and KOS-MOS lack such,
the match is still young, and we saw what happened yesterday. Diablo's
definitely still in this match... ...but Arthas isn't doing him any favors, and we'll have to see how KOS-MOS does until day-light to make a more solid prediction here. --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board.

yeah, the trends are certainly the same. he's the same board vote
warrior we've always known, minus the anti-voting early on from the
people in the know. I don't know if you can pin trends to strength, though. he's not bleeding out of the ear like he did against Ryu right now.. though granted, we've got a couple of hours before we have to worry about that. plus, no one here has Ryu's night vote... --- "where the heck does diablo get his votes from on weekends?
