And if you take this performance at direct value, Yoshi's Island = Super Mario RPG!

No one really believes that though, do they?


I have no objectives. Those two games are the best Mario games out.

Its really too bad about CT as it really got screwed by the draw. There is no way it makes it past FFVII/FFIII/CT/LTTP even if it is stronger than FFIII and LTTP.

EB looking a bit better now and CT is off to a good start. I figured it wouldn't impress.

Yoshi's Island will wreck everything later. Should end up in the high-20's at least.

Of course we were, because it's fun to debate for a game you like. I don't even have EB in my bracket.

Some of these reactions are just ridiculous.

Huh, CT isn't doing badly despite having two other SNES RPGs to (theoretically) drag it down. I guess we'll see how it holds up in the day, but 50% doesn't seem unreasonable.

Pretty good start for CT, I expected mid fifties and it should hit that. Normally I'd expect CT to have a better board vote, but EB and YI probably diluted it by a good amount.

Not that I'm gloating over the results, but they're were better upsets that people could've gone with before going with Earthbound.

I've voted SMW2:YI and don't like EB much, for the record, and have been EXTREMELY humble with my upset pick here. I've also openly doubted it for awhile now and even several times today.

I'll leave it at that.

CT looks good to finish in the 55%ish area. EB and YI should fall quite a lot overnight; much more than CT gives back with Europe and the day.

Those polls are decent in determining strength, but Earthbound had so many obvious advantages that Ray Charles could see that Earthbound was overrated in them.
