Too bad Re: Chain of Memories wasn't in that PS2 poll. Then we could compare that and Persona 4.

Well, I don't really like the idea of Persona 4 beating any KH-game, so I would normally be cool with just assuming they're equal here...but there is a lot of Square-representation (and even moreso for RPGs) that may be affected by SFF/LFF, so "damn."

After the first five minutes, the downloadable runner-up is already losing to a LFF'd FF4-port. MM9/P4 could get ugly afterall.

FFIV is being both LFF'd (by KH) AND SFF'd (CT), so yeah....FFIV for the Games Contest! >_>

That's just the randomness of multi-option polls rearing its head for the most part, but keep in mind CT is going to fall HARD by the time this is over. We're literally in the rush of its best time.

I stood up for him the last two times, but now even I have to admit this is getting ridiculous. It's time to move on to the final polls, SB!

On a less serious note... how does MM9 compare to CT based on results through Street Fighter? And CT vs Brawl based on Okami?

thengamer.com/guru/ says we just got owned hard by FastFalcon!
(thengamer.com/xstats & board8.wikia.com are neat)
HaRRicH | Posted 1/11/2009 11:31:48 PM | message detail
Right now, MM9 would get 46.99% on CT...and CT would get 31.73% on SSBB. MM9 also gets 29.82% on SSBB.

We would need to consider what FF4 and KH were doing to CT, too...but that's not accounted for here.

red sox 777 | Posted 1/12/2009 8:51:49 AM | message detail
Currently, CT is projected to get 55.43% on MM9 and 21.85% on Brawl. That doesn't account for LFF from FFIV (probably very significant) and Kingdom Hearts (probably not very significant) or Brawl/Okami SFF, which may or may not have occurred, but has potential to be huge given that Brawl scored over 90% on Okami directly.

Assuming the winners of the 9 main categories will be in the overall GOTY poll, here is my prediction:

Super Smash Bros. Brawl- 21%
Fallout 3- 14%
Metal Gear Solid 4- 13%
Chrono Trigger- 12%
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII- 11%
Gears of War 2- 10%
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King- 9%
Megaman 9- 6%
Persona 4- 4%

Final GOTY Poll:

Super Smash Bros. Brawl- 39%
Fallout 3- 31%
Metal Gear Solid 4- 30%

To think that people here actually believe that SSBB will utterly decimate Metal gear solid 4 in the final poll, SSBB is still the clear favourite but MGS4 will do respectable against it. If only PS3 has the amount of ownership as the Wii, MGS4 will win easily.
HaRRicH | Posted 1/13/2009 7:49:47 AM | message detail
I'd be scared of MGS4 winning in the overall-GotY a little, but SSBB definitely has it in the final-GotY. We saw twice in June how quickly PS3-fans got attached to MGS4, saw it destroy LBP, saw LBP destroy a bunch of fodder, saw LBP VC equal more than the PS3-ownership here, and currently see two-thirds of PS3-fans think the PS3 was the system of the year. It looks like they are very loyal, with MGS4 being their pride and joy.

MGS4 will be fun to watch between the overall-GotY and final-GotY. It's the best chance we've seen a game go from first to third, though it will probably get second place in both.

Really? I think Brawl will do worse in the Final GOTY- the Nintendo fanbase seems a lot more independent than MGS4's fanbase- how many games out of the 9 in the overall poll do you think the average MGS4 fan has played, and how many for Brawl?
