Wow This is the weakest bracket entry poll yet, isn't it? Also, yeah, I see SMB romping on that poll. I have Ninja Gaiden there but I only have it getting 13% or so. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

You would honestly be surprised if you saw this? I'd be extremely surprised. SMBeast will wreak havoc, but it won't be quite that bad for whoever gets 2nd place. 13+% absolute minimum for 2nd place I'd say. Not like that's some sort of achievement! 14-15+% for 2nd place is a safe bet. On the subject of woeful performances though, look at MM2/Tetris. Those two games are gonna be mauled come the division finals...gawd that's gonna be a slaughter. Those are two pretty chumptacular games for making it to round 3. Both could end up in the single digits. Can't we just have neither of them win and let some more deserving games take that spot?? --- Save_Us.RAT BREAK THE BLOCK DOWN |

I like to think both of them will get 10+% in that match! Probably not much more though..... --- Prototype Shorthand, do you speak it?! |

I guess I'm insane for banking on MM2 beating SMB and LoZ in that match, huh? I figure-- the top tier Mega Man game has to beat the seventh tier Mario and Zelda game. It really comes down to "where does the Mega Man's strength come from"? And somehow a smorgasbord of games that get knocked down to 10% or lower when faced with real competition doesn't strike me as noble nine material, no matter how many he has. Series strength isn't additive. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

MM2'll do alright, but I'm not sure it can get close to winning. it'll
do better than Tetris, which is dead in the water here probably. --- xyzzy |

I actually have Tetris going down in round 2 due to getting decimated
by Mega Man 2, because Tetris certainly doesn't seem the type to hold
up well when a strong NES (and Mega Man 2 should be strong, you damn
crazy people) game is there. Of course, the best alternative there Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! so I certainly don't expect much support for that upset, but I think it's got a chance to pan out. Much better than Tetris surviving Round 3, at least. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

Okay, I have no idea what to do with the following matches. It could
just be that they're pretty much a coin toss, but which ones seem to be
the favorite? Donkey Kong/Punch-Out!! SFII/FFII(and can SMW take second in the div finals over those with SMB3 there?) Majora's Mask/Pokemon Half Life/FFIX RE4/TP/MGS4 in the quarterfinals |

eh, I think Punch-Out could beat Tetris. I don't have a lot of hope for
Tetris in this format unless it gets joke votes for god knows what
reason. --- xyzzy |

I guess I'm insane for banking on MM2 beating SMB and LoZ in that match, huh? Umm...April Fools was last week ^_^ Seriously though, there's banking on upsets, and then there's MM2>SMB/LoZ! Even in Bizarro world that's an upset, if that's even logically possible! MM2's percentage in round 1 - against Pac-Man, Pong, and Oregon Trail - might be just enough for it to squeak by the whatever percent the 2nd place of LoZ/SMB gets in the division final. Even *that's* not an absolute lock. --- Save_Us.RAT BREAK THE BLOCK DOWN |

That's pretty ridiculous. No way does Mega Man not get at least 50% in
that first match. Those are the worst of the worst entries, there. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

No way does Mega Man not get at least 50% in that first match. What?? There's virtually no chance it gets 50% there. I'd sig bet you or something, but that'd be a horribly horribly unfair bet. The poll could be MM2/SMB/SMB3/LoZ/OoT and MM2 would get dead last by a mile. --- Save_Us.RAT BREAK THE BLOCK DOWN |

What is going to take its percentage? Pac-Man? I'll take that sig bet
if you really want to for a couple of weeks. I'm thinking Mega Man 2
breaks 60% in that one, personally. That group is total garbage. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

50% is hard to get in a 4-way, even when the competition is pathetic.
Even Link only got 70% against Bidoof, Edgeworth, and Agent J, which
I'd consider much weaker competition than Duck Hunt, Galaga, and Ninja
Gaiden, so I don't see MM2 hitting 50% or SMB3 getting anywhere near
70%. --- Hobbes: What's the point of attaching a number to everything you do? Calvin: If your numbers go up, it means you're having more fun. |

Mario 3 could definitely approach 70% in its match, I have it getting
something close to that in my Oracle. Mega Man 2 just doesn't strike me
as a game to pull off a ridiculous percentage like that. Mario 3 does. --- Kleenex...at work! |

Whoops, Mario 3 is up against SimCity, Tecmo Super Bowl, and Secret of
Monkey Island, not those other games. Regardless, I'd be stunned if it
hit 70%- that's just a ridiculously hard number to pull in 4-ways. --- Hobbes: What's the point of attaching a number to everything you do? Calvin: If your numbers go up, it means you're having more fun. |

Guys, I know this is very "lol X-stats" worthy to look at, but uhh... Based on 2004, Donkey Kong gets 40% on Tetris. both games had to face Legend of Zelda. I mean, surely Zelda SFFed DK worse than it did Tetris... Could Donkey Kong beat Tetris in round two? |

Also people tend to forget that getting a high percent is hard. 40% - each opponent getting an average of 33% against you 50% - each opponent getting an average of 25% against you 60% - each opponent getting an average of 18% against you 70% - each opponent getting an average of 12.5% against you Unless you think SMB is as strong or close to SMB3 it's not going to break 70% and even then I would hesitate. I wouldn't be surprised if SMB struggles to stay above 60%. --- 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 |

| I think you people are underestimating just how
much worse game SFF will be than character SFF. Do you not remember
things like LttP > Super Metroid or Ocarina of Time > Mario 64 or
SMW > Sonic 2 in landslides? Beatdowns like that don't happen nearly
as often with two strong characters. Only one I can think of that
wasn't an obvious thing like SMB3 smashing SMB was Link thrashing
Yoshi. And I'd take Yoshi vs Link to be a much bigger strength gap than
any of those game pairings up there. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

SSBM is probably the strongest Gamecube game by a good bit. That said, Wind Waker is going to leech the hell out of it and it will be lucky to get to the third round. And if it does, it won't be advancing thanks to Metroid Prime |
