I also guess that depends on where you see MMX's strength.. if it's near LoZ or Majora's Mask, I'd take it over LA easily. --- *is Dranze* Through fire, justice is served because FastFalcon05 owned my bracket. |

From: Fayt_Esteed | #099 The big thing is portable entries are not taken as seriously in their userbases as their console counterparts are. That's the big argument in that match. All LA has to offer in that match is the Zelda brand name and we will see that put to the test. It's a huge match in that case, we'll see how well portable games and their brand recognition stand up to the big boys. --- Today's Subliminal Thought Is: |

Link's Awakening may show us just how much franchise votes are really worth. I brought it up considering that Mega Man seems to get SFFed by Nintendo (see Mario/Zero in 2005, Link/Mega Man in 2004, and Luigi > Zero in 2006). --- "Here I go! Divine judgment for an evil soul!

I never really thought those Mario/Luigi vs Zero matches were SFF. Zero went on and bombed in the next few contests. LoZ/Link vs Mega Man is the best case we have though, but I don't think it's enough. I mean, I wouldn't take Mario Land over X... --- *is Dranze* Through fire, justice is served because FastFalcon05 owned my bracket. |

Tetris won't be sneaking past a damn thing. If Zelda alone can SFF it down to 25% imagine what Zelda, Mega Man 2, and SMB can do to it, for example. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

I'm worried about Halo2/MGS3/Okami/WoW. I have MGS3 > WoW but damn, I can see any combination make it. This match has the potential to ruin alot of brackets. --- [ FINAL FOUR ] FFVII / LoZ: A Link to the Past / LoZ: Ocarina of Time / FFX |

Okami isn't making it no matter what. But you are right it has the
potential to ruin brackets... due to WoW is such a wildcard. Who knows

From: MarioSuperstar | #104 Zero looked fine in 2007 until he ran into Link, and Ryu Hayabusa is a complete enigma so it's silly to base anything off of him. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

WoW > Halo 2 was an easy choice for me. WoW > MGS3 is possible if
Halo 2 blows it, but I can't see the weakest MGS advancing there. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

From: MyWorldIsCrono | #115 Yeah, WoW really is the game upon which Blizzard rallying will be put to the test as a factor in this contest (I've said this many times, but it is true). Halo 2 has a really good chance of choking this one as well, given past history of Halo/MC (except 2007). --- Today's Subliminal Thought Is: |

Ryu Hayabusa is no enigma. You don't go from 46% on Luigi to barely beating Ryu Hayabusa especially if you think Zero is underrated. --- *is Dranze* Through fire, justice is served because FastFalcon05 owned my bracket. |

Besides, you don't even have to look at Mario or Luigi to know that
Zero fell. You can look at Ryu Hayabusa. How do you go 50/50 with
somebody you beat 63/37 3 years prior? --- *is Dranze* Through fire, justice is served because FastFalcon05 owned my bracket. |

Am I the only one with Galaga advancing to Round 2? I was surprised it
never comes up in close BOP matches. With SMB SFFing Duck Hunt, and
Ninja Gaiden probably not being worth much, I think it has a shot.
Adjusting for SFF, Galaga's probably not that far from Metal Gear which
is probably somewhat comparable to Ninja Gaiden. --- FastFalcon owned me in the Guru Contest! |

Duck Hunt is on my bracket. I realize that SMB/DH is probably the best
example of SFF ever, but I still just think it'll win. I dunno why. --- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Guru winnah Explicit Content, that's quis. |

Who knows. Duck Hunt went even with Donkey Kong, which is better than I
could trust either of Galaga or Ninja Gaiden to do. (And speaking of
Galaga, it nearly got quadrupled by Tetris.) --- "Here I go! Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |

Galaga was massacred by Tetris in 2004, I don't think it can build up a defense in it's four-pack to get to second. It's really between Duck Hunt and Ninja Gaiden. If SMB does SFF the former, the latter is in a better spot to edge into second than Galaga. Again, I don't have faith in Galaga because of how badly it was crushed in 2004. --- Today's Subliminal Thought Is: |

One thing you forget to understand about SFF, is that how severe it is can't really be judged by how close they are. --- *is Dranze* Through fire, justice is served because FastFalcon05 owned my bracket. |

Yeah, I think we'll see massive SFF on Duck Hunt which will allow Ninja Gaiden to slip into second. --- Today's Subliminal Thought Is: |

I'm not saying it's strong, just that Duck Hunt is going to be thrashed. OK, but Duck Hunt is still the most known game aside from SMB in that poll.

Ulti may have a point seeing how far away Mega Man as a series is from FF, Mario, and Zelda. At the same time, however, I can't see Tetris being that much more liked than Mario Kart, or any of the other series Mega Man is capable of beating. I'm basically counting on MM2 getting enough franchise power over it. --- *is Dranze* Through fire, justice is served because FastFalcon05 owned my bracket. |

I don't see how anybody is taking Tetris over Mega Man 2.

From: charmander6000 | Posted: 4/5/2009 10:52:13 PM | #143 I am *so* tempted to pick Oregon Trail taking second place there, but for some reason I doubt joke rallies will do anything the second day of the contest. That plus after Mega Man 2, Pac-Man is far and away the most appealing game in that poll. Oregon Trail has to rely on MM2 pulling off legendary SFF, but the days of Mega Man killing Yoshi are long gone. --- .,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.

If Zero didn't do all that bad in 2007 and 2008, I'm more inclined to believe than Luigi kicking Zero's face in was SFF. It wasn't. Zero got his ass handed to him by Luigi, got edged by Ryu H (who he got 63% on three years beforehand), and then showed that neither were flukes by nearly choking against Vivi.
