I picked Duck Hunt too although I did my bracket really quickly. I didn't think GameFAQs was this awesome. :) --- Proud Supporter of Zero |

Why would you not think NG would rip apart DK in the asv? Because Ryu H.'s day vote probably at least partly has to do with Xbox support. --- FastFalcon owned me in the Guru Contest! |

Gogo SMB! I'll take being right about it tearing this 4-pack apart
(although I only went with 68% in my Oracle), in return for being wrong
about Galaga advancing. --- FastFalcon owned me in the Guru Contest! |

From: Yesmar | #303 Its still Ninja Gaiden with a picture of a ninja. I don't see any reason that it beign the NES version changes the fact its still the same title and character. You do realize the xbox version is named "Ninja Gaiden". same as in the poll, yeah? As far as we know, some people who don't know the generations thing are just voting for it as the xbox version. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://seitoacademy.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/lucky-star1.jpg |

Crono- you really think it is that out of possibility? We know zelda is
going to look like SMBoner today if not better AND FF fanboys are
notorious for anti-voting zelda.... I still think it is a viable possibility although still an underdog vote --- ************************************** psn aarrowgant |

This match doesn't change anything for me as far as SMB1/Zelda 1 goes
-- I still like Zelda there. Unless it completely drops the ball
tomorrow, nothing should change there. SMB1 getting 70% today isn't any
kinda shock, I'm kinda surprised people didn't expect this to happen. Check out this competition. --- http://i44.tinypic.com/sficrr.jpg |

ZFS- c'mon- SMB adversaries this round pall in comparison to Zelda's
next round. And Zelda will still crush them. The only thing Zelda has
going against it as usual (when no FF/Square game is in the mix) is
that FF fanboys anti vote Zelda. --- ************************************** psn aarrowgant |

Looks like I was right about the picture of Ryu Hayabusa meaning
something (yes, I believe if the pic wasn't there, DH would be either
close or winning). ASV seems to be .. equal here. Yup. So much for that. --- *is Dranze* BGE2 - Today: SMB > NG - Points: 6/8 Vote: SMB |

I'm gonna have to agree. SMB did awesome today, but its competition was
pretty terrible. Even if Zelda barely squeaks by tomorrow (it will win
easily) I'd still bet on it over SMB. --- You can't run away from trouble, there ain't no place that far. |

Uhh...well, I'd agree if I read that right. Zelda 1's fourpack crushes
SMB1's hard, so no one should really be expecting Zelda 1 to match, or
get close to, 70%. But if it barely pulls something like 50%, then
that's an obvious advantage toward Mario, before any SFF. I'm expecting
it to come in around 55% or so, which is pretty good considering its
fourpack is by far the strongest. --- http://i44.tinypic.com/sficrr.jpg |

This is impressive because we've only seen 70% broken once in fourways
- by Link when his competition was Bidoof/Edgeworth/Agent J. Given how
much weaker Mario 1 is in comparison to the rest of the field as
compared to Link and his field, this is no mean accomplishment. However, I don't think it says much about the Mario 1/Zelda 1 match, and Zelda could get less than 50% tomorrow and still have a good shot at winning. I do think it makes absolutely clear that Mario 1 can win that match, though, and several people were clinging to Zelda 1's 43% on Mario 3 as a reason that it couldn't. --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |

I'd say 55% is a safe bet. Metroid and Contra are both games that have
some strength from winning first round matches last game contest. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://seitoacademy.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/lucky-star1.jpg |

I don't think I'll be confident in which of Zelda or SMB1 will win
based on Zelda's performance tomorrow unless it does extremely well
(>65%) or bombs horribly (<40%). SMB1 destroying pure fodder
doesn't really tell much since it's easily one of the most recognizable
games ever going against three games with no real fanbase. I'm not
gonna bother making any calls on that until I see it in action. For the record, I've got SMB1 > Zelda 1 for Rounds 2 and 3. --- http://gamebros.smackjeeves.com/ http://l33trappacat.smackjeeves.com/ |

Metroid >> DH, Contra >> NG, and I don't really know/care
about comparing DW3/Galaga. Still, LoZ should put up big numbers too.
LoZ could actually SFF Metroid harder than SMB3 did; it's five years
later and I doubt there are many original Metroid-fans around, so the
format shouldn't be kind to it between lingering LoZ-fans and seeing
LoZ > Metroid from the Series Contest. Brand-name may have kept
DK/Pac/NG alive against PO/OT/DH...but with LoZ, the Metroid brand-name
will likely be dismissed quickly. Contra won't look well either, though
it's probably got the biggest fanbase of any game we've seen so far
without a major series backing it. LoZ should still hit 60+% and will be plenty fine if it doesn't match SMB here...but it's nice for SMB to be pushing for a new four-way record in its debut. Unless LoZ pushes toward SMB's numbers today, I figure SMB's still going in with the small advantage though it's anyone's game...and if LoZ doesn't break 60% for some reason, SMB's gotta be the big favorite. --- Prototype Shorthand, do you speak it?! |

I'm not too confident in Zelda break 60% It won't get SFF'd into oblivion like Duck Hunt here. Dragon Warrior is probably comparable to Phantasy Star but I wouldn't put it too far ahead, and Contra is no joke. Tetris couldn't even get 60% and both entrants were very well capable of being around the tripling area; that's where I'd actually peg what Metroid and Contra would get around on Zelda. --- *is Dranze* BGE2 - Today: SMB > NG - Points: 6/8 Vote: SMB |

Whoa there, Zelda 1 definitely doesn't need to break 60% tomorrow to
keep things competitive. I don't think people realize how trashy this
competition is today, and how good (all things considered) tomorrow's
group is. If Zelda breaks 60% tomorrow, I'd say it's a clear favorite
in round 2. --- http://i44.tinypic.com/sficrr.jpg |

After thinking about it now, Zelda could get 50% and I'd still consider it the favorite over SMB (and I have SMB > Zelda). I can conceivably see ALL entrants break 20% on it 1vs1. --- *is Dranze* BGE2 - Today: SMB > NG - Points: 6/8 Vote: SMB |
