HL is definitely the most independent game in the poll, which will help it. I just don't think it's strong enough regardless. --- FastFalcon believed in Snake. I didn't. |

Heh, I guess Link's Awakening just might really cause something.. The past handheld Zelda games do show strength but I wouldn't take any of them over possibly the strongest Mega Man (or near it). --- *is Dranze* Through fire, justice is served because FastFalcon05 owned my bracket. |

Here's an interesting poll: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3306 FF7 is not immune from losing the final, especially if you sub Crono with LTTP and Snake with FFX.

The only trend I care about regarding Vice City is this: 2004: Western Quarterfinal --- Defeated (6) Donkey Kong, 51425 [50.48%] - 50457 [49.52%] 2007: Division 5 Round 1 --- 3rd place, 19268 [14.69%] - Master Chief, 59910 [45.69%] - Yuna, 39571 [30.18%] - PaRappa the Rapper, 12382 [9.44%] --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://www.gamerevolution.com/images/misc/image/sonic-next-gen-fail.jpg |

From: UltimaterializerX | #430 This scares me how this keeps getting said, when indeed the opposite is true. ALttP and Twilight Princess would not do a thing to OoT. The only game Zelda would have to worry about for actually hurting it would be Wind Waker, because they are so different. But, OoT is pretty much ALttP remade and everything done better, and almost everyone has OoT as the best Zelda game. TP is OoT pretty much redone, just inferior in almost every way. (Still great game) These 2 games if/when they meet OoT are not going to even be able to stand. I would wager that MM's would do better against OoT than ALttP and TP, just because it is such a radically different game from normal Zelda games, and you actually see some people say MM>OoT. As for Final Fantasy X, it is a much different game from VII, many people who hate VII think X is the best game ever. There are plenty of people in the FF fanbase who have X>VII. The game that VII would need to make the Finals to not feel anything would be VI or VIII. The problem is if VI gets there, ALttP does not, and VII loses it handicap on OoT.. And I still see very little hope that VIII could get there. --- Gunner is, what is the word... passionate. but i think that MichaelWClark dude is far crazier than anything Gunner has posted.

ALttP and Twilight Princess would not do a thing to OoT. I can see it being argued for TP not hurting OoT, but Lttp? Not EVERY Zelda fan lieks OoT the most, Lttp is the favorite of many Zelda fans, so if LttP is there, it hurts OoT no question. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://www.gamerevolution.com/images/misc/image/sonic-next-gen-fail.jpg |

From: MyWorldIsCrono | #438 I did not say every fan, did I? I am sure somewhere out there is a person who likes Zelda II the Adventure of Link over>OoT. It does not mean there are many of them at all, yes, ALttP is the second most popular Zelda game, but X is the second most popular FF game. The difference is that many more people have X>VII then have ALttP>OoT. Also take into account the fact that those 2 will be completely outclassed at the very start, and I see almost every voter for both other games in the finals, whatever they may be, jumping ship for VII/OoT, and the other 2 just kinda being there, like Snake 2 years ago and Crono last year. --- Gunner is, what is the word... passionate. but i think that MichaelWClark dude is far crazier than anything Gunner has posted.

| Seriously though what do most people have-- SSBM
> FFX there? What I see is: Gamecube flagship, X-Box flagship, and
two PS2 games, neither of which could be considered the flagship game.

that much. --- Mr Lasastryke They call me Mr L. |

FFX is clearly PS2's flagship. maybe it's not a home run over second place but that's because the PS2 actually has a library. --- xyzzy what's up ryan AHHHHHHHHHHHHH |

"Xbox flagship" doesn't mean anything when we're talking about a
unhindered Final Fantasy game - and most likely the second strongest
one at that. FFX is pretty much the PS2's flagship game on here, no
doubt about that. --- http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/3151/hadoukend.gif |

No doubt in my mind that Halo is going to have all the oomph Chief does
and then some. Chief "flopped" last year but only because 1. He did so
damn good the year before. 2. Halo 3 backlash. Halo 3 backlash shouldn't affect Halo 1. The original X-Box had two functions: Off and Halo. Remember that. --- Mr Lasastryke They call me Mr L. |

To sum up what I'm saying: 4 ways are still the format of Halo. Halo
>> Master Chief as evidenced by the first game contest vs Master
Chief's performances at the time. You should fear Halo as a final four threat, people! Not regard it as FFX fodder! --- Mr Lasastryke They call me Mr L. |
