CT rises a whole percent! Over 52% already. On another note, it looks like YI won the board vote over Earthbound. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

I don't think Board 8 is that crazy for Earthbound as its small number of proponents are just that loud. --- http://www.court-records.net/animation/phoenix-superobjection.gif |

From: MarioSuperstar | #080 I haven't been arguing that pick at all, and given what we've seen so far, I've pretty much given up on either game getting to round 4. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

Great update for Trigger. It should be able to stay above 50% pretty
easy at this rate. Probably a good bet that Yoshi's Island isn't too
strong, but good show for CT. --- http://i44.tinypic.com/hwh4yo.gif |

Earthbound is doing a lot better than I expected. This 18.5% would seem
a lot more normal if it started at like 23% and sunk for the following
nine minutes, but it's actually been gaining percentage and holding
steady. I still really hate this game and the god damned characters it has spawned, though. --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Well the good thing is after the predictibility of this bracket, the next one has a lot of debatable matchups. Hell the only thing I know for sure is OOT will win it. --- --NL-- |

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. CT should be doing down in the morning with its pathetic European vote. That will probably stop it from finishing above 55%. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but still not as cool as FastFalcon05, Guru Champ! |

SMW2 has like every advantage to beat down Earthbound and it's not
exactly doing a very good job so far. There's no reason to denounce
Earthbound's popularity here, this is a showing that shows it might
have a shot had it not been crowded with SNES RPGs. Of course it's also possible that being crowded with SNES RPGs doesn't make a lick of difference but who knows. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

From: BlAcK TuRtLe | #110 Eh, I've never even played it. Ness and Earthbound have cost me so many stupidass Round 1 matches that I can't even stomach looking at his idiot face. --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

And I still I have no idea why. Street Fighter II was the fighting game to play in that era while Mario wasn't quite as dominant back in 2004. Also to be fair SMRPG was the favourite in that match. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls BGE2 - Today's Match: Chrono Trigger > SMW2: YI Points: 45/60 |

anyone who thinks CT wouldn't take 1st period is a total idiot. I'm interested in this 2ndary match of Earthbound/ Mario 2 at the moment. I have Earthbound even though I like SMB 2 more, but I thought this site loved RPGs. O well we'll see what happends. P.s. - WTF w/ Random Zelda > megaman x? --- Dr.Mario is not a real doctor.

57.59% / 31.04% 22.53% / 18.14% The low percentages for SotN don't bother me. What does bother me, however, is the percentage of brackets who put SM64 advancing, but in the wrong order. --- The sauce is weak with this one. But...if he could be churned, he would make a powerful stir-fry. |

From: The n00b Avenger | #115 I've said that if DKC2 was here instead of Lufia that Earthbound had a shot, and it looks like it could have at least led through the night if the steakheads on this board hopped on the right bandwagon there. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

Yoshi's Island being this close to Earthbound doesn't really suggest
a Chrono Trigger boost. It suggests an ass-tastic level of competition. Yep. I don't think Yoshi's Island has anything to worry about considering it'll take the day vote easy, but this being a weak pack definitely helps CT. Hard to say it's dropped off the map from this performance, though. Definitely not pulling a FFVI here. --- http://i44.tinypic.com/hwh4yo.gif |
