It's either put it in the same division as FF7, or have FF7 and OoT in the same division.

And why do I have both Mega Man 2 and Mega Man 3 getting out of their divisions?

Can DW3 beat Contra? It did only beat Phantasy Star 60-40. If DW3 does better it can at least mean a decent match. I'll probably go with Contra though

The Starcraft II beta has a good chance of being out, for whatever it's worth. I think the original will do well in this bracket (my initial bracket has it in the finals, but that's my fanboy side speaking), but I wouldn't put it over Ocarina either way.

FFVII/LTTP/SMB3/Zelda 1 really interests me. SMB3 ought to be hurt less by LFF than the Zelda games; on the other hand, I fully expect Zelda 1 to get driven into the ground (less than 5%, probably), so that perhaps LTTP/SMB3 SFF will be more important here. With that said.....I think I'll change to LTTP now.

I can't wait to see Tetris > DK in the first match. It's Mewtwo/Pac-Man/Ness/Travis all over again.


Or is it DK > anything all over again.

What makes you say that? Blizzard is giving away keys to the top 20 in each invitational ladder in Warcraft III. That ladder ends in 3 weeks, which corresponds with the rumor of the beta coming at the same time as the original game's release date.

Final Fantasy III (VI)

Wow, this is probably the fourpack with the highest overall game quality in the bracket.

This is an irrelevant question. Duck Hunt made a close match with Donkey Kong, but The Dog would get pzowned by DK.

The arcade game simply isn't big. It lost to Pac-Man in the arcade poll.

It's either put it in the same division as FF7, or have FF7 and OoT in the same division.

Or, you know, not divide by generations this time.

And no way does CT lose to SM64 with Goldeneye there. I really doubt it loses even without another Nintendo game there- CT does not fold to FFVII SFF-wise, and the overlap is not that strong to start with.

I really don't think that Duck Hunt has a shot at advancing. It would probably lose 90/10 in a 1 vs. 1 against SMB. Zelda got 87% on DK, and Duck Hunt has way more reason to be SFFd into the ground by SMB. Galaga would probably get close to 15% 1 vs 1, not considering what Ninja Gaiden does.

Tediz247 | Posted 3/10/2009 2:33:56 PM | message detail
Actually, in Quarterfinal #2, it's almost tempting to take the really shocking upset there. It's almost guaranteed to be LttP/FF3/FF7/CT. Now, CT held up pretty well against FF7 in the last games contest. Does FF3 hurt FF7 enough for CT to squeak by? I'm not taking that upset, but it might be worth considering.

Even Zelda leeching 4% of LttP's votes would probably be enough to give SMB3 the edge. SMB3 held pretty close to CT, after all.

Yeah, it not getting the crap beat out of it in 2004 was impressive, despite the tumble it's taken in recent years. My first instinct was that this is an underdog pick though.

FF7/CT/OoT/FFX would be sweet, but even then I'd be scared of FF7.

Though I personally dislike both FF7 and OoT, so I really don't care which one wins. I'd rather have another joke out of nowhere.

Ugh, a round 2 fourpack of death:

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
God of War
Metal Gear Solid 3
World of Warcraft

Who advances? I'd probably have bets on WoW pulling second yet again with a massive rally, but I can't decide on whether GTA or MGS3 would get first, since I have them getting first in round 1.

Does FF3 hurt FF7 enough for CT to squeak by? I'm not taking that upset, but it might be worth considering.

Uhhh...I'd be more concerned about FFVI hurting CT there.

If you don't think they'll both each other because FFVII and CT didn't, then I'll point you to Crono/Kefka.

So...I've got a bad situation. Since I have LoZ:OoT > Starcraft and SSBM > D2, I've gotta decide if SSBM can withstand LoZ:OoT better than Starcraft and D2 can withstand each other. I'm currently working with SSBM there since Blizzard's smaller and SSBM comes from a different system and era from LoZ:OoT...

...but what sucks after that is that I ave LoZ:TP > RE4 meeting the winners there, making it LoZ:OoT/SSBM/LoZ:TP/RE4. It feels SO wrong to even consider RE4 > SSBM, but man...I'm thinking about it.


Keeping RE4 > LoZ:OoT for now.
