FF6 will clear 40, MMX will take the lead overnight, lose it in the morning then take it back with the SNV.

Give FFVI some time, it'll be over 40% soon enough.

MMX is starting to fall off a bit. Brackets likely helped him those first two minutes.

Damnit, PSIV got an awful pic. Not that it really matters, but it doesn't portray the game at all.

And GOOOO MMX!

I know this is a bad board vote, but I'll soon give it to LA/MMX being strong rather than FFVI being weak.

ZFS | Posted 4/16/2009 9:06:07 PM | message detail
A good chunk of this is more than likely the board vote going decisively toward MMX and LA, but the fact they're going to end up as close as they are (unless FFVI takes off, which is a possibility) probably means FFVI's taken a good dip. Nothing most didn't see coming -- Trigger's probably going to follow suit.

This is pretty much expected. FF6 has nowhere to go but up, and I always figured MMX would have decent strength. The only surprise here is Zelda leading.

FF6 has 55% so far on LA, though obviously that will increase as the contest progresses.

Damn, LA's packing heat. Glad I picked it, though now I regret not picking MM advancing.

I thought LA would be about this strong. Back when I was a kid, this and LTTP were the only two Zelda games for quite a while. (The earlier two being too old to be very interesting.)

Ocarina of Time will win this contest.

While I'm starting to believe that it can beat FF7 straight up, there's no way OoT can topple FF7 if LttP or SMB3 are leeching it.

People have spouted leeching about a whole lot of polls so far, and it's yet to really matter.

Ocarina of Time will win this contest.

We're only five minutes in, but I have no idea why this suggests that just as I had no idea people were so confident that LA was second-rate. I was accused of being blind to the facts, but it honestly felt to me that MMX supporters were citing only one poll (a six-year-old poll that should be thrown out) and the word "hand held" as their entire argument.

They ignored LA's strengths. It has awesome sales numbers (spread across five years and two releases), had a five year stint alone in the Zelda spotlight, and actually IS loved by a pretty significant portion of the Zelda fanbase. These boards alone tell us that.

Super Metroid put up like 86% against it, so unless you think FF6 is barely stronger then Super Metroid, its looking bad so far. It'll go up, though.

9 votes in and Mega Man X is still riding my vote (which was the 4th vote overall).

Did anyone else see that board vote that LA dominated?

Or it was probably brackets that did it.

This says nothing really about FFVII/OOT; FF1 and FF4 impressed also, and it's not like Link's Awakening isn't a beloved game to a lot of people.

There's a difference between second rate and 45% on goddamn FFVI. Hell, even MMX has 42% on FFVI, that's better than what MM3 got on FFIV.

Well, I'll gladly give up more points yet again to see another favorite of mine in DKC advance! Go not-Super Metroid next round!

And this match makes no sense now! MMX is doing about as well on FFVI as MM3 was doing on FFIV. It'll probably go up from here, but still. If MMX can't lead now, when it should be at its peak, I can't see it winning, as sad as that is.

Still, what is this? FFVIII > FFVI confirmed

It should go up, but hell, this doesn't seem very surprising after yesterday. I still think LttP has the raw strength to hit 60% on the jobbers it faced. Voters might just be getting smarter.
