RBY/MM/MGS/GSC

Does RBY still manage first place?


Nah. MGS is holding its own here. GS should leach enough to bring RBY down to 2nd.

I haven't really been following this topic but I figured OoT > RBY would have been unanimous like yesterday.

Call me crazy but I don't think this one is over yet.

No, I'm not talking about MGS vs Pokemanz, I'm talking about FFT vs Pokemanz.

So I lost a bet to creativename (yeah...hardly shocking). Like usual, I should've known better!

KamikazePotato | Posted 4/23/2009 9:07:40 PM | message detail
And obviously the gap between GSC and MGS will widen, but as far as I'm concerned this completely validates RBY as a Top 15 game and potential Top 10.

ZFS | Posted 4/23/2009 9:07:56 PM | message detail
Yeah, I wouldn't take this to be the final result between the two. FFT's going to do a lot better once we get away from the beginning vote, where Pokemon is just stupidly dominate. Not that it has a chance at second here or anything.

Yeah, Tactics is going to go way up overnight. This will look pretty reasonable when we're done probably.

RPGuy96 | Posted 4/23/2009 9:08:12 PM | message detail
I think this should end up with a fairly comfortable win for MGS (37/31ish?), but RBY didn't fall off too much from the board vote so I could be wrong on that.

Regardless, Pokemon is definitely legit; GSC is going to cruise to an easy win over FFT. I have a very hard time believing RBY isn't a top ten game if little brother can do this.

M_e_g_a_6_4 | Posted 4/23/2009 9:08:14 PM | message detail
Wow, low 80's to advance. I'm actually kind of surprised since Pokemon's looking to be in prime shape to go far.

I'll wait a few updates before I start making inferences about RBY.

charmander6000 | Posted 4/23/2009 9:09:10 PM | message detail
Well considering MGS was expected to beat GSC 70/30 this is pretty good. Of course Xenogears was SFF, but so was MGS, though slightly less.

It's definitely over for FFT.

GSC's doing a good job holding in there. Sure as hell not getting first, but it's not doing bad at all.

It's starting to look like RBY may have a chance to get past Round 3 after all!

If GSC keeps this relatively close I'd call RBY the favorite to get first next round, even with the split.

Note: I worked 9-5 then got called in 5-12 at my second job and have yet to look at poll results before writing this up

Round 1: Division 5 - Match 2

Deus Ex


lol turbofodder

Final Fantasy Tactics

Don't blame me, blame yourself, or god.

Metal Gear Solid

SNAAAAKE!

Pokemon Gold/Silver

lol kiddy games

Analysis:

I'll make this short and sweet so I can check the match out after I write this:

This was considered a Metal Gear Solid > FFT lock by the board, although I personally felt that people were retroactively applying Snake's new popularity to an old game that was only strong in 2004 because the contest was write after Twin Snakes, and ignoring all of the things in favour of FFT here (new remake, franchise voting at an all time high). They instead focus on Snake's sudden increase with the Brawl appearance and Ramza's staying at the same level.

However, with R/B/Y's surprisingly dominant performance today, there's now a Pokemon in the way, although I feel G/S won't be NEARLY as strong as R/B/Y. As I say this, I fully expect to check the poll and see G/S with 50% or some other garbage.

TuRtLe's Prediction: FFT 31%, MGS 30%, G/S 28%, Deus Ex 11%
TuRtLe's Bracket: FFT > MGS
TuRtLe's Vote: FFT

I doubt the split hurts RBY much. GSC probably just gets obliterated by it, honestly.
