By the way if Crono wins tomorrow, I'd think Mario is guaranteed a spot
in the final. Crono isn't immune to Link's SFF, and in fact he'll get
hammered as much as Mario imho. CTDS hype may make this a bit closer,
but at the most we'd see a close Mario/Crono epic Part III with Mario
wins again. And if Mario is in the final, we all know Cloud > Link is almost locked-up (no, Sephiroth isn't making it there). so yeah guys, make sure Crono wins tomorrow tbqh (oh and don't die Mario) --- Kweh!

I fail to see how Mario is guaranteed a spot in the final when just
today we see how hammered he is with SFF, and Samus will be there
hurting him too. Its a bye round for Crono or Vincent. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/hansen.jpg http://card.mygamercard.net/aero/Albion+Hero.png |

Now X decides to make a move. I'm going to predict that both Zack and X
manage to overtake Mario sometime tonight, though X should collapse

From: red sox 777 | #455 Hmm. If Mario falls to 4th and still advances, will that be the first time that happens in a 4way? --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/hansen.jpg http://card.mygamercard.net/aero/Albion+Hero.png |

I think X LFF makes sense for Mario, and we've all seen how well he handles Samus. It's just down to how well Crono deals with Link... hopefully not well at all. --- ExThaNemesis is the man. http://img.imgcake.com/ omghawttt13141.jpg |

I dunno about CTDS. I get the argument that Crono hasn't had anything
to sustain him for the last twelve years, so it could help there. But
it's just a DS port in a system flooded with SquEnix ports (and I
should know, I own damned near all of them). I'm quite skeptical of how
much it can do for him. --- Mustache...and green... |

I think CTDS is a bit different than something like FF4. the game just
means more. it's like saying an FF7 port wouldn't do anything - I'd
disagree. --- xyzzy http://img.imgcake.com/samusvsganondorfvsvincentvsgordon.jpg |

Granted, CT isn't as big of a deal in mainstream gaming as FF7, so it
wouldn't be like a FF7 port. But hopefully it will fix the CT day vote
somewhat with younger people playing it. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/hansen.jpg http://card.mygamercard.net/aero/Albion+Hero.png |

From the looks of it the FFIV characters got a rather large boost from
their DS game. And it really doesn't take all that much for a rather
massive boost, you just need to be exposed to a new audience. CTDS
could end up helping Crono only a little.....but the ceiling to what it
could do for him is incredibly high. Also, it will be his first release
in Europe, right? --- Crono's quest to beat Link: 3 days until: Crono vs. Samus vs. Vincent vs. Pikachu |

| I don't think CTDS will do as much as FF4DS. Yes, it's the first CT in a while, but it's also a straight port. The straight port to GBA didn't do wonders for FF6 characters, did it? (Or FF4, for that matter.) |

Final Fantasy Chronicles got a release in Europe IIRC. Ah, okay, but it should still help out with his horrible late night/early morning vote at least. Mario took 2 updates, but that's to be expected- we're not into the deep night yet. If this one is close, does Mario still have the clutch factor after 5 years of not using it? --- Crono's quest to beat Link: 3 days until: Crono vs. Samus vs. Vincent vs. Pikachu |

From: paraboxx | #476 I wouldn't expect the FF6 port to do much because it actually came out after the DS was already the main handheld, so I don't think it would of attracted many people to get it outside of FF6 fans anyway. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/hansen.jpg http://card.mygamercard.net/aero/Albion+Hero.png |

I kinda agree that if Vincent makes it tomorrow, he'll also be in the
final (unless Zack = Vincent -- there's a slight possibility there
because we all know that Vincent is as prominent as Zack in FFVII), but
Crono is affected by Nintendo SFF as well I'd imagine, especially the
ones from SNES era (i.e. Link and Samus, and to certain extent Zero and
Pikachu). Otherwise he'd not be underperforming last year against Zero
(and Link) and again this year against Pikachu. --- Kweh! Kweh!!! --> http://backloggery.com/main.php?user=xcarvenger For all your board 8 needs: www.board8.wikia.com |

CTDS's big advantage is the dearth of DS releases this holiday. it is THE holiday DS title, so Nintendo has to push it. Really? ...hmmm. It that's truly the case, then CTDS could potentially have a Kingdom Hearts Factor effect on Crono, and boost him quite a bit. I don't know just how much the DS release helped Kain and Rydia. But another thing about that is, FFIV has been ported a bajillion times already. Chrono Trigger has had nothing other than the PSX port. --- Save_Us.RAT BREAK THE BLOCK DOWN |

The CT is not a strait port. granted it is no a re-rendering,but theres tons of added content. Itll be the first time many of the younger fans will have played it and will introduce it to those of us who are non- mega rpg fanatics. |

Actually I was wrong, I looked it up and that wasn't released in
Europe. So yes, it'll be the first release of it in Europe outside of
Emulation Huh. That could be pretty significant for that portion of the vote - albeit, it's a small portion of the total vote, the impact on that section should be there even if the game sells only a little bit over there. I'm seeing more and more reasons to jump on the CTDS Crono hype train! --- Save_Us.RAT BREAK THE BLOCK DOWN |

Crono wouldn't be hurt by Link nearly as badly as Mario. Unless you
think he was at Mario level or higher last year, and would have crushed
Vincent 1v1? If Mario holds on to 2nd today, and Samus advances tomorrow, the winner of Crono/Vincent making the finals is almost a lock. If Zack places today, Crono/Samus becomes a very interesting match in the semis (don't think there is much overlap between CT and FFVII- or not anywhere near the degree of overlap between Link and Samus, anyway). If Zack and Vincent are there, I'd call Samus the definite favorite, although I wouldn't completely rule out Link acting like the King of SFF and/or Vincent or Zack managing to (r)SFF the other into oblivion. --- Crono's quest to beat Link: 3 days until: Crono vs. Samus vs. Vincent vs. Pikachu |

CTDS is not coming out in Europe until Q1 2009. Which will be long before the next contest anyway. Hmm...and if the next contest is a games contest, CTDS should help Chrono Trigger itself out quite a bit too. The game has probably fallen quite a bit from the last games contest. --- Save_Us.RAT BREAK THE BLOCK DOWN |

Huh. That could be pretty significant for that portion of the vote -
albeit, it's a small portion of the total vote, the impact on that
section should be there even if the game sells only a little bit over
there. Yep, the marginal returns on CTDS would be extremely high in Europe in that case. To give an illustration of just how high the potential is (no, it's not nearly as high as in this example), suppose that Crono really gets 0 votes from Europe at this time. Past polls have indicated that Europe makes up about 17% of the site. To get 50% in a poll, then, Crono needs over 60% of the non-European vote. Now, clearly the assumption that Crono gets nothing from Europe now is absurd, and it's highly unlikely he would be as popular in Europe after CTDS as he is in America now. But you also have to remember that CTDS will also be released in North America. The sheer potential on this game is huge. --- Crono's quest to beat Link: 3 days until: Crono vs. Samus vs. Vincent vs. Pikachu |

think he was at Mario level or higher last year, and would have crushed
Vincent 1v1? I think he would. I'd say he'd have crushed Vincent last year (51-49 more like, but the point is Crono is beating him) if not for Link and Zero in the match. but it was quite clear that Crono wasn't on Mario level last year (he scored lower % on Link that scored higher % in comparison to Mario). and I don't think there is a significant SFF between Crono and Vincent (Vincent got the advantage of the "Sore Thumb Factor" in the second round last year imho). --- Kweh!
