Hm. Probable division final: RBY/MGS/Ocarina/FFVIII. I think all three games have a shot at that, especially if MGS/FF do bother each other and RBY/Ocarina overlap isn't that bad. Should FFVIII win, we've got Ocarina/FFVIII/Melee/FFX. Yikes. --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |

There's really no evidence that would suggest higher votals would even hurt half-life, -_- --- http://thengamer.com/guru/ |

I love how people just want to seem to deny Half-Life's power based on
a crappy fad that hasn't been relevant since 2004 that only the board
cares about. --- Donkey Kong Country 2's path to Best Game Ever '09. Not even 10%? What is wrong with you people? At least SMRPG and Goldeneye moved on. |

The question is, would FF8 double FF7 if you used Xenogears > GSC from 2004 and also yesterday's match stats on, say, FFT? --- http://gamebros.smackjeeves.com/ http://l33trappacat.smackjeeves.com/ |

Metal Gear Solid 63.57% / 26.19% Pokemon Gold/Silver 38.42% / 15.31% --- The sauce is weak with this one. But...if he could be churned, he would make a powerful stir-fry. |

Probable division final: RBY/MGS/Ocarina/FFVIII. I think all three
games have a shot at that, especially if MGS/FF do bother each other
and RBY/Ocarina overlap isn't that bad. Uh what? If those are true Pokemon wins in a walk. |

Seeing as how Gordon sucked until 2005 when votals went up, I'd have to
say that Half-Life's recency and recent console exploits are good
enough reason for it to beat the crap out of FF9. Then again, FF9 advancing helps out Starcraft next round. Which is the lesser of 2 evils? --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

There's too much left to see to predict the division final at this
point, I think. Gotta see RBY in round 2 against Zelda again, how FFIX
does tomorrow and if it advances can FFVIII kill it enough to get by,
and so on. --- http://i44.tinypic.com/hwh4yo.gif |

I love how people just want to seem to deny Half-Life's power based
on a crappy fad that hasn't been relevant since 2004 that only the
board cares about. Excuse me, but I love Gordon and HL. However, the writing on the wall here is becoming very clear. Seeing as how Gordon sucked until 2005 when votals went up, I'd have to say that Half-Life's recency and recent console exploits are good enough reason for it to beat the crap out of FF9. And I still think that asking a sequel released 6 years later to boost the previous game by any significant amount is shaky at best. --- http://thengamer.com/guru/ |

96 more votes there, for a lead of 200. Nice to see Xenogears went up
by a percent. Soul Calibur, on the other hand.....is getting doubled by
Starcraft? --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

I don't want to see FF9 advance, but I would enjoy seeing the far superior FF8 lay an 80-20 beatdown on it. It'll be like Squall/Tidus all over again. Let's do this! --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

FF9 is more like Mario Sunshine and Wind Waker than YI or MM. FF8 is closer to YI and MM, which makes today a little puzzling. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

FF9 could kill FF8 advancing, or FF8 could kill FF10 advancing, which would guarantee a FF7 win. This contest is so ****ed up. --- http://gamebros.smackjeeves.com/ http://l33trappacat.smackjeeves.com/ |

Where are the ralliers now?

I think Half-Life has a great shot at tomorrow's match, but considering
that FFVIII's power hour should be godawful and it already has 56%

advances. --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |
