and FFT has since had a well-recieved remake. Well, if you want to talk about sales, WotL didn't do anything there. I'd actually agree with you about people looking at characters too much, but it's not hard to see that MGS has gotten a huge surge of popularity over the past five years. --- http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/3151/hadoukend.gif |

I think pre Wotlk a Diablo/arthas would be a toss up, but right now I
believe Arthas would be the victor. That might change when Diablo 3 is
out though --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/oops.jpg |

FF4's path is hilarious. Easy Round 1 win. Debatable R2 match with FF1 (and MM3 I guess). LFF coasting until the Semis. --- FastFalcon believed in Snake. I didn't. |

MM3 is going to be getting rocked by Mario World, too. And FFIV stands
a much better shot at outright killing FF1 before it does splitting the
FFIV vote. From there, it can cruise to the semifinals. --- http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/3151/hadoukend.gif |

'Cruise'? It doesn't cruise unless SMW implodes in the presence of SMB3 (which I'm sorta counting on, but still). --- http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g320/HowDisturbing/stayawhile.jpg Stay a while and breathe me in. |

From: LeonhartFour | #225 And since when did FF4 have any strength? http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1178 Plus, I think SF2 is different enough from many of the games in the contest in its path that it shouldn't be effected much by same fanbases while they Nintendo games hurt eachother. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/oops.jpg |

People always bring up those 'favorite FF' polls. I don't think

to be. --- http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g320/HowDisturbing/stayawhile.jpg Stay a while and breathe me in. |

The fact that FF4 and FF1 are so close should make one worry it'll even get out of round 2, though. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/oops.jpg |

Mega Man 3 easily has enough strength to beat a SFF'd Final Fantasy 4.
Anyone ho thinks it won't be sff'd or lff'd are just kidding
themselves. Not everyone prefers FF4 over FF1, as evidenced by that
favorite FF poll. Hell, its almost even. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/oops.jpg |

Oh and I'm not saying its a given FF4 loses in second round or
anything. But just that it WON'T be at full strength. It can still win

I'd argue that the top 4 games on the poll I listed are pretty accurate. Though FF6/FFX may be debatable. The poll only shows who has the most hardcore fans. Who knows what those 93% of voters would vote for if 4 and 1 were the only options. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls Submit BOP here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=48529509 |

FF4 argument is really easy. - FF4's stronger than FF1, probably - FF1 got 40% on Mario 3 - Mario World is weaker than Mario 3 - Mario World and Mario 3 are in the same poll --- xyzzy what's up ryan AHHHHHHHHHHHHH |

FF polls generally are one of the last things to go by when it comes to
figuring out how FF's are going to do in general, because some of them
are hurt by the FFVIIs and FFVIs of the world more than others. FFIV in
particular gets hit hard by FFVI - it's the FFVII of the generation,
with FFIV being the one right behind it. But I would put FFIV a good bit above FF1, but still well below FFVII, FFVI, and FFX. All it needs to do is put a hurting on FF1, something I don't really doubt it can do, but at the same time, taking IV there is definitely an upset - it's not the most likely thing to happen if you just glance over it - but it's not a big stretch either. MM3 isn't coming out of that unscratched, not with Mario World there. --- http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/3151/hadoukend.gif |

Final Fantasy getting 40% on SMB3 was probably more because of
franchise voting than true strength. Expect franchise votes to be a bit
weaker in 4-ways. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls Submit BOP here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=48529509 |

Mario World and Mega Man might as well both be Nintendo platformers -
those aren't two different fanbases that aren't going to hurt each
other. We saw what Mario World did to Sonic in the last contest, I'd
expect the same thing to happen here. All FFIV has to do is SFF FF1
instead of split evenly, something that shouldn't be that unlikely. People tend to give FF1 too much credit, but we went over that one earlier! --- http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/3151/hadoukend.gif |
