Mega Man does well during the day, it's just that horrible morning vote that will hold it back. What DKC did yesterday is what MMX will do. It's just that LA should have a stronger day and a weaker night than Doom.

LA/MMX is over.

LA/FF6, on the other hand, is starting to get interesting!

Uhhh guys, I don't know if you just hate Link's Awakening or what, but I really think there's more to that game than just the franchise name. This doesn't suggest that "OoT wins" (or even has a better chance than it did a day ago) at all.

Yo's got the right idea.

Well I said either LA bombs or it goes to the division final! I really should have went ahead and taken LA, but I really wanted to see Sonic 2 go up against MMX and I put that in my bracket, even though I was fully prepared for LA to do what its doing today. Ah well. Just have to hope that LA doesn't wreck LttP's win in the division finals against FFVI.

Looking at the favorites poll, and the past contest results, I really doubt that.

Seriously, you think the Wii is worse than ET, or the CDi, or the Game.Com? The Wii is an alternative gaming system, a compliment to a normal gaming system. It's great. Also, Classic Nintendo > All.

There's no other option except for Nintendo to do well during its best eras -- there's not many options that aren't Nintendo back during the NES and SNES, a few notable Square titles aside.

You'll see them get progressively weaker the further we go.

And once again, I'm confused by the expectations of you guys. 40% is where I pegged FF6 to get, and it's well on its way to getting that. Unless you thought LA/MMX were going to be really weak, this is an okay performance for FF6.

I think FFVI goes into the divisional finals as a huge favorite. LA looks safe to get there, and LttP will drag a third pure Nintendo game along. I have a hard time seeing FFVI fumble that one away.

Squall > Luigi was awesome from the start simply because of the Board 8 chaos it caused!

And if you don't want to enjoy Mario 3 and stuff like that anymore, be my guest! I'll keep playing them as my Wii gathers dust!

And I put FFVI at 38-39% here honestly, but I thought I was undershooting it.

FFVI currently has 55.37% on Link's Awakening. That's about what SMW got on FF1, so what do you think of FF1 vs. LA? If you think they're fairly close, then if/once FFVI rises away from Zelda it'll look decently stronger than SMW, which meets my expectations at least. FFVI is at 58.66% on MMX, but that will rise a lot. By comparison, FFIV got 58.94% on MM3, which should be substantially weaker. So if FFVI can rise into the low 40s here, it's doing fine.

I wouldn't count MMX out, here. These updates are far too jumpy for me to think it's dead. 70 vote obliteration to 10 vote stall-- if the stalls are the realistic trend Mega Man X might have a chance.

It was even proportionally, but 2002-2003 had a LOT more people on the board. If you look back at the original stats topic, you'll note NeoElfboy's comment about 100 pages of topics during Mario/Cloud.

Nah, the only thing people whined about was a Cloud/Sephiroth final. Board 8 has hated FFVII for as long as I've been here (apparently, the board liked it in 2002, so I don't know what changed over the course of a year). The main thing about Cloud > Link is that people were delusional about Link's invincibility. Even after Cloud goes out and stinkin' doubles Sonic the Hedgehog, there were plenty who still thought he couldn't beat Link.
