At least FFX/MGS2 gave us some useful information. You could draw any number of conclusions from today's match.


The most important one is that FE really sucks.

But we can't really tell that since it's against Zelda and the very game that made it popular in the first place, now can we?

This doesn't even tell us that. It'd probably beat Disgaea without Melee and WW in the poll.

I'm saying that FE probably would have a fighting chance if Melee and WW weren't in the poll.

Heh, I think we've covered this one before. CATS rocks it easily. I don't think it's possible to have more Stand Out Factor than that, and Link will do what he always does to those two.

So do I, and we shouldn't feel uneasy, we should feel like it's a total lost cause. FFX will drag another PS2 game with it, and Melee will drag either Diablo or Halo. Smash is the massive favorite there.

On another note, I'm beginning to think that LTTP has a better than even chance of beating FFVI even with 2 Nintendo games there. LTTP is probably about equidistant from FFVII and FFVI now, maybe a little closer to FFVI, and Super Metroid/Link's Awakening or whatever is there shouldn't hurt LTTP as much as CT and FFVI hurt FFVII. Yes, the overlap is closer among the Nintendo games, but CT and FFVI form a way stronger pair, so if FFVII should be the favorite in round 4, LTTP should probably be the favorite in round 3 as well.

Should RBY beat FFVIII even at a disadvantage...well, it probably can't beat FFX considering it'll be at even more of a disadvantage (Melee for MGS).

It's gotta be, at least in its scenario. I gave FFX the win because I figured Prime would be in that poll (lol). Replace Prime with another PS2 game, especially Kingdom Hearts, and the edge easily shifts to Melee. It'll be the only Nintendo option, and a hugely popular one at that.

Hey guys, i missed out on the match, my dsl went down for some odd reason.

As a result i missed the big results.

I see that Diablo 2 got first with Halo in 2nd but what were the final percentages?

Melee is like Halo, only with an awesome early vote. these other games are "what?", so I'm not amazed Wind Waker's flying up. I'm looking forward to seeing Melee vs. Halo in the day vote war.

Disgaea still hasn't cut Wind Waker yet, but it's getting very close though. Wind Waker only got a 6 vote increase about 6 minutes ago.

Disgaea has a rock solid fanbase and it's the only non-Nintendo game in the poll. Fire Emblem may not be as powerful as you'd like, but to draw conclusions about its power from this match is just stupid.

Then again, it's Albion.

FFX will drag another PS2 game with it, and Melee will drag either Diablo or Halo. Smash is the massive favorite there.

The fact that it's a PS2 game means nothing. I don't believe much in console LFF. Now if it's Kingdom Hearts FFX takes along, then yes, Melee is a big favorite.

Wind Waker currently has 36% on Melee and rising thanks to the Zelda morning vote. MGS2 got 37.74% on FFX.

MGS2 vs. Wind Waker: Who you got?

Yesterday's chart:

Time | Diablo II | GTA III | Halo | KOTOR | Demographic
EBV | 24.91% | 23.27% | 26.77% | 25.06% | (0:00-0:05)
PHV | 28.66% | 20.97% | 25.88% | 24.49% | (0:00-1:00)
FNV | 30.37% | 23.31% | 22.02% | 24.30% | (1:00-6:00)
BSV | 27.42% | 23.58% | 24.79% | 24.20% | (6:00-9:00)
DSV | 26.32% | 23.20% | 23.79% | 25.21% | (9:00-14:30)
ASV | 25.32% | 20.86% | 29.19% | 24.64% | (14:30-22:00)
SNV | 27.26% | 20.57% | 27.58% | 24.59% | (22:00-24:00)

Diablo has a bad board vote but a great night vote. Big dropoff in the morning but fairly consistent throughout the day. Halo has a horrible night vote as usual, but its legendary ASV pulls through again. KOTOR is very consistent all throughout. GTA III's trends are pretty identical to Vice City's: Consistent until the ASV, where it gets rocked for the rest of the match.

Surprised that nobody mentioned that Halo and KOTOR got 1st and 2nd in the U.S. XBox land! Nobody mentioned that Prime beat Vice City in America either!

Yesterday's stats:

Diablo II – 50.00%
Halo – 48.49%
Knights of the Old Republic – 47.33%
Grand Theft Auto III – 44.63%

Doubt it. That match was close enough that running it a few months later could've gotten a different result (although with all the TP hype back then, it probably would've been the same). I think FF would be with relatively little trouble nowadays, maybe something like 53/47. 2k6 was Nintendo zone.

Seriously, Zelda had to have won on OoT, LTTP, and then TP hype. It seems like FFVI, FFVII, FFVIII, and FFX would rock everything else in the Zelda series, and those four could give TP a fight or beat it, too.

By the way, FFIX vs. Wind Waker/Majora's Mask: Who do you take?

Final Fantasy probably wins that poll. Something I'm curious about is whether it has as high a percentage of voters who think it is the best series ever as Zelda. The day after the contest, Zelda put up a staggering 40% in that poll (and we thought FFVII's 24% was impressive). That implies that FF already blew Zelda out of the water among people who don't have Zelda as their #1 series. Does FF also have around 40% of the site backing it as best series, meaning that 80% of the site has either one of them as their #1?

Hmmm...I think SMB would get a fair share of voters for favorite series, too, but yeah, FF and Zelda would rock such a poll.

So is Link's Awakening the 5th strongest Zelda (after OoT, LttP, TP, and Zelda 1)?

Give me FFIX over MM and WW. I'll say that WW isn't doing too badly today though, in light of how badly everyone else from its half of the division has done, and that SSBM is its worst possible non-Zelda opponent.
