I don't have much faith in SMW myself, plus I don't think FF6 is as weak as everyone thinks it is, especially since everything else is looking pretty constant so far.

I solved that problem years ago. Gamecube Zelda Collector's Edition Disc aw yeah




that freezes god damnit


Yeah, playing MM on that is horrible. Whether or not succeeds comes down to, "Please please please don't freeze before I get the deku mask. Please please please." And then it does and you lose all the drive you had to play the game.

However, I say Pokemon's performances are still questionable to this day. Sure, it doubled Star Ocean, but so what? It nearly beat Metroid, which is good, except for a few things:

1. This was as a series. The games, on the other hand, looked awful.
2. The series it lost to, Metroid, got 85/15'D against Zelda.
3. Samus has always been more popular than Metroid itself.

As for the character battles, Pika didn't look so hot its first couple of matches (failing to get 55% on Ike, and nearly losing to Alucard), and the L-Block match is just all sorts of whacked out. Granted, he stood up to Samus better than Ganondorf, though. Mewtwo was against crappy competition in round 1 and was the beneficiary of the biggest case of sore thumb factor ever in round 3. That aside, he nearly lost to freaking MIDNA, and lost to the Cube with ease (though we can't blame him for that). That doesn't change the fact that the most legit performance from Mewtwo as a sloppy one. Plus, we have the Pokemon handheld games getting kicked around by Minish Cap and Phantom Hourglass in the GotY polls.

Side note: I think that even if Pokemon loses, if it keeps it close, then it has a good shot of advancing in Round 2. Pokemon in general has held up well against stronger competition and resisted Nintendo overlap well.

Hmm...

I figured if Pokemon impressed tonight, most of us would see G/S as a lock to move on with MGS. It's got a very favorable draw there.

I'd pick FFT over Xenogears, and I don't see GSC gaining that much in five years.

I dunno. GS > FFT seems way less likely to me than RBY > MM. I mean, this is Zelda, but that's Final Fantasy....which more or less amounts to the same thing as far as franchise voting goes. RBY ought to be a much much stronger game though.

G/S/C will do fine, but RBY is just going to be so far and above the rest of the series. It can win tonight and I'd still take MGS>FFT in a heartbeat.

M_e_g_a_6_4 | Posted 4/22/2009 8:42:23 PM | message detail
I mean, if Deus Ex was replaced with another semi-strong non-Nintendo game, I could see Pokemon gathering a loyal enough fanbase to sneak it into second. But FFT should still have some strength, and I don't think RBY will necessarily correlate to GSC's strength (as other Zelda games wouldn't correlate to MM should RBY win with a decent margin).

For the record, RBY > GSC should be obvious and I'd easily take FFT > MM without a second thought. And I have doubts in the first place that RBY will beat MM.

RBY will have to really impress for me to consider GSC advancing, and even then I wouldn't be convinced at all. RBY getting 70% wouldn't even convince me of GSC advancing.
