I'm pretty sure that Scorpion's taking Frog out. --- Metal Gear Solid OOOOWWWWWWNS! |

I, too, have Samus > Frog, but I'd be quite happy if I had Scorpion
instead. I think Scorpion is a pretty clear step above Axel. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Brawl.jpg |

You know, I'm beginning to think that we didn't overestimate Midna, but
we overestimated Twilight Princess. There was so much hype going into
it, and it won GOTY handily, but it seems to have fallen off since
then. Sure it's the biggest Wii game, but for some reason, I'm just not sure it'll stand the test of time. The Wii has continued to explode without any apparent help from TP. Years from now, I'm not even sure it'll be more remembered that much more than Wind Waker if at all. Someone brought up LttP earlier, and I would never in a million years take Twilight Princess to beat LttP. This is all complete speculation, but I think the problem lies with Twilight Princess, not Midna herself. --- Twisted Misters: 2007 World Series of Pop Culture Champions!!! |

I'd be a bit sketchy about taking LttP to beat TP now... but in a year
or so I'd have total confidence in LttP > TP. Just gotta get that
recency out of the way... --- delicious cats Commit it to memory. |

Years from now, I'm not even sure it'll be more remembered that much more than Wind Waker if at all. It's already surpassed Wind Waker's sales and it isn't even Player's Choice yet.

Eh, I'd take Twilight Princess to get around 40% on Final Fantasy VII
right now. The hype surrounding the game was more of a detriment than
anything, at least as far as the post-release is concerned. I'm of the
opinion that it's the best Zelda game, but when the game wasn't Ocarina
of Time 2.0, I'm sure that some folks were a bit disappointed. Still,
it's not going to be weak by any means. I'd put it up there with games
like Final Fantasy VI and Mario 3. --- Experiment status report update: Metroid project 'Dread' is nearing the final stages of completion. |

What percent would you take FFVII to get on Twilight Princess, if FFVII were just as strong as it was when it beat OOT? ~35%. That seems too low when I think about it, but I just can't see it beating any of the games above it. --- Twisted Misters: 2007 World Series of Pop Culture Champions!!! |

Karma Hunter: Blame the board on that one, I don't think she's a flop just because she's not up there with Zelda or Kirby! She's a flop relative to expectations I'd say. There isn't any other way to flop way really. You can only flop relative to general expectations. If she had been less of a disappointment relative to expectations she wouldn't be a flop, but she's pretty far short of them. However as long as she stays above 26% or so I won't consider her a "bomb". RPGuy: Scorpion isn't exactly up there with Zelda and Kirby, and she's losing by 10% and unlikely to do much better as the day goes on. If you throw Ness or Fox in this match rather than her chances are they'd do better than this, and a fairly major Zelda character not being on par with those two is pretty floppy. Not sure if Ness or Fox would do better, but she was favored over Scorpion pretty clearly, and she is losing by like 10%. That is pretty floppy, as you said 00:00 | 17.09% | 26.88% | 44.86% | 11.17% Don't have much to say about that. That is pretty shady. It might well not have been legit. But what's really weird is that it seems to have come entirely at the expense of Samus. What the hell happened with Samus voters there? Frog stuffing wouldn't affect her. Before Frog's comeback I thought cheating was the only way he could do it, but now I'm unsure. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I don't think Twilight Princess would get under 40% on FF7. I also think FF7 is slightly weaker relative to Zelda than it was back then, so OoT would probably do better, if not win outright. Only thing that makes me doubt OoT is that you don't hear as much nowadays about OoT as FF7...the latter has just aged so tremendously. (course Ocarina has aged great too, it's just not in the consciousness as much anymore I think) --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I knew I should have stuck with Scorpion. But I figured that I usually
get burned by characters I don't know, so I'd go with the flow on this
one. Anyways, less chatting about this boring match and more talk about my crazy theories.

I'm starting to get a really eerie feeling about tomorrow's match.
Marcus Fenix is extremely generic looking (with a close up shot, which
is what he'll likely get, anyway) and he isn't the face of an entire
console like Master Chief is. Since the main draw of GoW is the
multiplayer, you could literally play that game for hours on end and
not recognize the name (the game's story is thin when it comes to his
name, too). I'm thinking he'll suffer from pre-HL2 Gordon Freeman
syndrome and lose to Zelos. --- Currently Playing: Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Persona 3 |

He may suffer from pre-HL2 Gordon syndrome, but it would never be bad enough to lose to Zelos, especially with Kefka in there sapping all the RPG support. Though it will be important in telling me if I made a great dark horse pick, or just screwed my bracket again by taking Fenix to round 3.

I would not expect Kefka to be any sort of SFF threat, myself. And if Marcus is pre HL2 Gordon, you bet your ass he's losing to Zelos, and with ease. I mean come on... Tina Armstrong, Max Payne? --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

Actually, looking at it, Diablo never really went up against anybody
that good with the day vote. Just Ganondorf, M Bison and Sonic who all
do great with the morning vote but have a pretty bleh day vote. TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

That is pretty shady. It might well not have been legit. But what's
really weird is that it seems to have come entirely at the expense of
Samus. What the hell happened with Samus voters there? Frog stuffing
wouldn't affect her. I think Axel had his own little rally there - obviously it wasn't much, but it was enough to keep him from dropping in percentage much. realistically, Frog brought an extra 10% in that last half an hour. Axel should have lost a lot, lot more. --- "where the heck does diablo get his votes from on weekends?

2100 vote lead in 2 hours....Nice.

Well, it looks like I'll get out of Division 1 okay. I dropped 4
points, 2 on Diablo placing 2nd and 2 on putting Midna > Scorpion
instead of the other way around. If this were a war, I'd be getting out
of the battlefiend that is Division 1 missing an arm. But goddamn.....I
thought this wasn't that tough of a division going in outside of Midna
v. Scorpion and some possible trouble with Diablo v. KOS-MOS. Things for the near future look pretty good, but I'm worried about some of the landmines that are coming in matches that look "easy" to call, but are going to be far from it come time the match hits the polls. --- KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (0-0) : AFC Wildcard NEXT: at Houston Texans (0-0) |

Cloud would easily win that. No way does Mario get past Sephiroth to create that situation though. Even with Vincent there to suck votes away, we've basically seen how a Link/Mario/Sephiroth/Vincent poll would go, in round two of the battle royal (Link/Mario/Cloud/Sephiroth/Snake, where Sephi easily outdoes Mario). |

It doesn't look good for Kratos right now, but he's stalling alright. And as every friggin match this contest has had a comeback so far, it'd almost be foolish to count Kratos out. --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

I have Kefka > Marcus for tomorrow and now i am worried. Kratos
performs very well in today poll, he manages to secure 22%(probably
more once the day comes) despite Midna taking some of his
Nintendo/GameCube support away. Zelo is definitely more popular than Kratos and I doubt Marcus is a strong X-box character despite overwhelming GOW sales. |
