| people overreact to FF1 doing well every time, as
if it didn't do this exact same thing in 2004. I don't see how this is
all that unexpected. in 10 hours you're all going to be like "there's no way FF1 wins" because you'll see FF4 do the same thing. --- xyzzy http://img.imgcake.com//chewing.jpg |

what exactly did FF do impressive in 2004? It lowballed the oracle against Contra, and killed Pitfall big whoop.

From: M_e_g_a_6_4 | #300 Its possible. Seriously if we get Black Mage vs. something obscure like Paladin Cecil, I'd favor FF1. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img2.gelbooru.com/images/378/86b7a0dada9b6d09cd92aaaa2fed5c0f425774f6.gif |

We'll have to see where the ASV takes this, but 45% against Mario World
is more impressive than 40% against Mario 3 in my opinion. If FFIV is
stronger than this, World is dead in two rounds. --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Well, by the end of the day it'll be more like 40.50% against Mario 3 Vs. 44.00% against Mario World(if not lower than 44%) Hard to call the latter more impressive... --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

in 10 hours you're all going to be like "there's no way FF1 wins" because you'll see FF4 do the same thing. Pretty much how I'm feeling. Everyone's reason for why FF is going to win now is because "I can't see FF4 doing this" well guess what... you didn't see FF doing this, so that's really not strange. --- all hail ec your lord and savior |

What's stopping FFIV from breaking 50%? River City Ransom and Crystalis will fail to break 10% and MM3 is nothing special. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls BGE2 - Today's Match: SMW > FF Points: 16/24 |

Because I don't trust FF4s strength. Nothing has ever shown me it have
much strength at all, and I don't see it breaking 50% there on
franchise votes alone. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img2.gelbooru.com/images/378/86b7a0dada9b6d09cd92aaaa2fed5c0f425774f6.gif |

If FF4 gets 50% tomorrow, I'm calling this contest officially over in
FF7s favor. There wil be No way OoT is able to beat FF7 in any
circumstances, even if its its FF6/FF7/OoT/FFX if a game like FF4 is
able to get 50% off solely franchise votes. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img2.gelbooru.com/images/378/86b7a0dada9b6d09cd92aaaa2fed5c0f425774f6.gif |

From: MyWorldIsCrono | #315 50% sounds pretty reasonable. River City Ransom was doubled by Pong which was tripled by Tetris. Crystalis is more or less Dragon Warrior. Mega Man 2 barely beat Pac-Man which was doubled my Metroid (SFF or not... FFIV > Metroid). If it doesn't even come close to breaking 50%, I'd be shocked. --- *is Dranze* BGE2 - Today: SMW > FF - Points: 16/24 Vote: SMW |

Plus if MM3 gets an actual recogniziable pic, I see no way it doesn't get 35%. This is my prediction: FF4: 43% MM3: 35% River City Ransom: 12% Crystalis: 10% --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img2.gelbooru.com/images/378/86b7a0dada9b6d09cd92aaaa2fed5c0f425774f6.gif |

circumstances, even if its its FF6/FF7/OoT/FFX if a game like FF4 is

As of 2006, Zelda was the stronger franchise, anyways. It's been 3 years, but I don't see that changing by enough to be significant. --- Shall I take you with me?

From: MyWorldIsCrono | #320 If FFIV can triple both Crystalis and River City Ransom (which I think is reasonable since it's no stronger than Battletoads; not even close since 4chan has an influence and FF1 is almost doing it), it will be around 50% maybe at the lowest give or take. --- *is Dranze* BGE2 - Today: SMW > FF - Points: 16/24 Vote: SMW |

From: The n00b Avenger | #334 Common sense. We've had quite a few matches where a pic of a completley unrecognizable version of a character hurt big time...

Though if MM3 gets another pic of a middle aged dude, I'd think it would get mid 20s% with FF4 just barely hitting 50%. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img2.gelbooru.com/images/378/86b7a0dada9b6d09cd92aaaa2fed5c0f425774f6.gif |

FF2/4 > Sonic 1, FF-series > Sonic-series, SF2 > MM3, and MM2 > MM3. RCR was 2004's Ultimate Loser
and Crystalis lost to Tecmo in a recent poll...remember how Tecmo did
yesterday? They should do worse than CV3/Civ, so FF2/4 has a fine
chance at 50+% since Sonic 1 got 44.41% in its match two days ago.
FF2/4 is the favorite anyway, so...MM3 might stop it with a good
picture, but odds are FF2/4 will be at least close to it. --- Prototype Shorthand, do you speak it?! |

http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/board8/images/b/b2/Spr04b20.jpg Are you seriously blaming RE's performance on that pic? It's freakin' box art! It's not like MGS has some type of picture advantage there. It's literally the words Metal Gear Solid on a white background. Neither picture is big enough to make a difference in the first place. --- Proud Supporter of Zero |
