It'd be a fun upset to go for last year, but I don't think I could have
done it. I'm not trusting those polls THAT much...plus Yoshi didn't
really impress last year against Fox, who Mario destroyed in 2007. --- Prototype Shorthand, do you speak it?! |

Haha, Luigi, Mudkip, and pre-SSBB Pit
crushed Tingle in 2007. Tingle could be the only person in the pic and
there would be no way Tingle gets out of last place in
Link/Zelda/Ganon/Tingle (I'll go with Link > Zelda!). Just for fun, here's something of a clue of how Tingle would look after it's all said and done: Tingle in Luigi/Mudkip/pre-SSBB Pit/Tingle http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2879 Replacing Luigi with Ganondorf: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2903 Replacing Mudkip with Zelda: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3279 Imagine how much worse they should SFF Tingle than Luigi and Mudkip should... ...now replace pre-SSBB Pit with Link, who has done this to Zelda and Ganon: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2901 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1750 I would really enjoy a Link/Zelda/Ganon/Tingle match in a way.

I seriously want to see Epona in a contest. LoZ:OoT and LoZ:TP aren't
bad games to have on the resume, you see Epona a lot in each of them,
and...really, who dislikes the horse? Gotta be better than Tingle and
likely better than Midna, too, and we don't have a lot of other
worthwhile characters we've never seen to rally for anymore. --- Prototype Shorthand, do you speak it?! |

If the Zelda name has faltered enough to fall to Mario 3,
that means one of two things - that it's just not up to snuff, or a
deluge of Zelda games that ended up getting LttP knocked out. In the
former case, FFVII in a walk. In the latter... *probably* still FFVII,
as I have a hard time seeing Mario 3 folding like I do FFX. It also
doesn't hurt that in today's climate I think FF7 is the legitimately
stronger game again. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

well, you're looking at FF7/Mario 3/LTTP/Zelda 1 in the previous round, that's the only way we'd arrive here. --- xyzzy what's up ryan AHHHHHHHHHHHHH |

but I think looking at Mario 3 and OOT as "Nintendo" is dangerous -
there's just a huge gap between those two, ten years, two consoles and
one dimension. those guys won't overlap like FF7/FF10 will. --- xyzzy what's up ryan AHHHHHHHHHHHHH |

From: transience | #328 OoT>FF VII in an absolute rout.

but here's the thing - you're looking at all Zeldas and all Marios. of
course there's overlap. I agree with the logic, but in this case it
doesn't apply. with OOT/SMB3, there's just a world of difference there. overlap? yeah, but that's pretty damn distant. if we make a distinction between new and old Square, there should be one for old and new Nintendo. we just don't have any examples at the moment because Nintendo franchises just keep on going. --- xyzzy what's up ryan AHHHHHHHHHHHHH |

From: Karma Hunter | #334 Yeah, but you are REALLY reversing it here. So, a mid tier Zelda was able to really hurt Mario. Mario was absolutely crushed by Link. Yet somehow by extension you think Mario 3 is going to significantly hurt by far Nintendo's biggest game, which just happens to be Zelda, which we just saw that Mario falters like crazy to. It is going to be like when Samus and Mario meet Link. Super Mario Bros. 3 might as well not even show up, OoT will not feel a thing. --- Gunner is, what is the word... passionate. but i think that MichaelWClark dude is far crazier than anything Gunner has posted.

| I don't believe that, say, FFVII and CT don't have
significant overlap (heck, it's probably what cost Cloud runner-up last
year). Much less than, perhaps, FFVII/FFVIII, but that's a given. SMB3
won't hurt OoT like LttP, but it doesn't need to. It just needs to not
get throttled - because FFX will. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

From: Karma Hunter | #336 Actually, I said that Cloud would still crush Seph, but that a split FF VII fanbase would be enough to beat Solid Snake anyway. This is different, this is Mario will not effect Zelda, Mario has never ever shown to touch Zelda in these things, why would it change now? SMB 3 will not make it anyway, so this is all totally irrelevant, ALttP will make it, and will harm OoT. --- Gunner is, what is the word... passionate. but i think that MichaelWClark dude is far crazier than anything Gunner has posted.

It is going to be like when Samus and Mario meet Link. Super Mario
Bros. 3 might as well not even show up, OoT will not feel a thing. Link went from barely breaking 60% on Crono to well over 70% when Mario/Samus were replaced with Snake/Cloud. FF7 needs a mere fraction of that to turn the match into, yes, a "rout". --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

OoT like LttP, but it doesn't need to. It just needs to not get

but I wouldn't write off the possibility that Old Nintendo is separate from the New. Oh, I'm not disagreeing that it's separate - or, at least, *more* separate than New/New and Old/Old. However, when you're talking about fourways, all overlap is relevant. Yes, SMB3/OoT might have surprisingly small overlap from an absolute standpoint - but more than SMB3/FF7 or SMB3/FFX? Of course not, we know that SMB3 is going to hurt OoT more than anything else in that match (which is why FFX is here, otherwise it wouldn't even be a discussion). It's the same thing for FFX and FF7, which is why we can't just compare overlap - even I would concede FF7 would be the underdog on straight overlap. Strength is equally, if not more important, and the flipside of FFX having so much more overlap with FF7 is that it's guaranteed to get killed that much more as well. We're not talking about two games that are comparable in strength that also happen to have a ton of overlap like FFX/FF8 or MGS2/MGS3 or something. FF7 has FFX's number in every way on this site. With SMB3/OoT, at the *very* minimum you're going to get some fanbase splitting on franchise voting, if only because of an Old Nintendo/New Nintendo split. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

Out of curiosity, running through Tidus/Squall and Squall/Cloud, how much does FFX get on FF7? --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

Through that comparison, Tidus would be expected to get 15.01% on
Cloud. That's ignoring things like Sora, the transition between
one-on-one and four-way, the years between them, all that...but it's a
fun comparison all the same. These may make for better comparisons in this subject though: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3299 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1771 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2912 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1341 Huh...just realized Auron's faced both Cloud and Sephiroth in back-to-back years in each format. --- Prototype Shorthand, do you speak it?! |

With this new discovery of Auron having faced Cloud and Sephritoh
back-to-back in continuous years in each format, I'm going to make a
simple effort to compare how Auron did then and now. I wish this would
tell us how FFX has aged, but it could be more about four-ways, KH2, or
probably some other things...but here are the comparisons anyway for
whatever they're worth: AGAINST CLOUD... ...in 2003, one-on-one: 27.8% ...in 2007, with Ryu and Marcus Fenix: 26.8% AGAINST SEPHIROTH... ...in 2004, one-on-one: 32.3% ...in 2008, with Sonic and Kratos: 30.92% That's not exactly what I expected! If FFX is aging better as FF7 gets older and Auron was supposed to have such a great debut in KH2...I mean, it could be a statement about four-ways, but that's not flattering to the guy. Take this as you will. --- Prototype Shorthand, do you speak it?! |
