Final Fantasy VII 47.57% 694
Mario Kart 64 26.73% 390
Star Fox 64 19.6% 286
Suikoden 6.1% 89
TOTAL VOTES 1459


This is a bad start for FFVII. I was surprised to see it around 44% a few minutes ago, but it managed to improve a bit near the end before the freeze kicked in. Good show for MK64 and SF64 though. Both are taking advantage of FFVII's bad board vote.

Anybody else feel like Mario Kart should be the favourite to beat Goldeneye next round?

It just seems like Goldeneye is being overrated to hell and back in very much the same way Magus was.

FFVII has already won this contest. The question is who will get second. It certainly won't be OoT after how pitiful Zelda has been thus far.

I'd probably be for that if it weren't for SMRPG being in the mix, even if the two genres are different. It's still two Mario games.

Let's look at how horrible Zelda's been so far.
LoZ gets a mere 61% against Metroid, Contra, and fodder.
LttP gets 56% against DKC, Doom, and semi-fodder.
LA bombs against FF6 and doesn't impress against Mega Man X.

Yeah, Zelda's ****ed. OoT isn't getting 50% Round 1 and won't advance in Round 2 thanks to Starcraft and Half-Life.

I think FFVII might be able to go a bit above 55% here, but we'll see how big its updates are in the next few. That's probably a good place to peg it, but 58% would be nice, too!

Well, I'd imagine most of the board vote went to the Nintendo titles in contention for second, leaving Suikoden with barely any. Its not strange to see it start going up after the board vote.

Does your page have the top score being a 48?

If so, try refreshing a few times until the top score is a 50.

Frankly, I don't deserve to post in this topic until I'm on the leaderboard. For that matter, nobody does. Anybody who isn't on the leaderboard should be ashamed and go back to their hidey-holes.I will say two things. One, I am close to being on the leaderboard. In theory I should be on soon. I did after all manage to predict Goldeneye > SMRPG correctly. Two, I do not have OoT getting second. This is because Zelda has dropped to unprecedented levels this contest. We've already seen this in the early Zelda games. But it is the later Zelda games and specifically OoT that have been on the sharp decline. I'll give you all a sneaky peak at the future - R/B/Y will beat Majora's Flop.

8 people scored half points and survived. Former first place and the last perfect Agumen, JgCuBe, NeuroticDogg, C_Howitt, spyder8925, Gavin_Sykes, Interceptor18 and Reaps_Returns also did not have GoldenEye 007 > SMRPG as yesterday's winners.

3 people scored a single point and survived. Former second place ilovecheese611, Superfreak8 and Heroic_Rufus had something vagely similar to GoldenEye 007 > SMRPG as yesterday's winners.
