I'd
be surprised if it was, yes, but you have no proof otherwise. That's
like people calling Scorpion strong because there's no way Midna can be
that weak. It's nothing like that. You don't NEED proof from Majora's Mask itself to know it's not fodder. --- http://www.court-records.net/animation/phoenix-superobjection.gif |

Oh, my bad. I read KH's post backwards. I still disagree with the sentiment. The only major jump occurred between the 1st and 2nd days. MGS4's performance between the 2nd and 3rd days was definitely within the margin of error from the day before. --- FastFalcon owned me in the Guru Contest! |

It's
hard to say how exactly the other games overlapped with MGS4/Brawl
though, and the difference between the 9-way poll and 1v1 poll was
quite small. I don't deny that games do have floors, but in general
most games are really far away from them and the effects are small, and
more importantly, as of yet extremely unpredictable. I think the other
thing is that games we think of as "hardcore" tend to overlap with a
lot of things- people who play Earthbound have generally played tons of
other games, such that EB isn't independent of very much at all, which
would hurt it in multi-way polls. MGS4 probably doesn't fall so much
into that category, but in any case, we've had an absolutely horrible
track record predicting what would benefit from the format and what
wouldn't. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

It's nothing like that. You don't NEED proof from Majora's Mask itself to know it's not fodder. To be truthful if GS didn't exist and RBY decided to flop against MGS that would be very surprising. MM shouldn't be fodder though people weren't fully convinced that RBY was a top 10 game until after GS. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls BGE2 - Today's Match: Fallout 3 > Halo 3 Points: 89/124 |

I
was convinced it was up there. weird match or not, that's a big
percentage. G/S actually worried me about RBY's chances more than
enhancing them thanks to G/S probably being a big burden in round 2. --- xyzzy |

I
just don't trust the Zelda faithful to abandon their game. Majora could
look better than before in a lower percentage situation. I won't bet on it but it wouldn't throw me too much. it would really suck if that happened, RBY is the biggest new game and to see it go out in round 2 is rough. hell, it's got to deal with OOT from there on which is rough enough. --- xyzzy |

I would love for both Pokémon games to make it after a massive boost for G/S after the announcement of the remake. --- Come on hope! |

4
AM, day of the final, Nintendo announces a remake of OOT on the PS3
with amazingly good graphics. OOT suddenly starts coming back on FFVII
during the FFVII Total Domination Zone. Not to be outdone, Square
hastily prepares a press release and video showing off the Final
Fantasy VII remake for Playstation 4, a system specially designed just
for this game, and announces it at the start of the ASV. FFVII comes
back during the ASV and wins the match. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

"the final's going to be during e3, so anything is possible." ...Hell YES. That would be one of the best upset specials EVER. I'm crossing my fingers for a new Mario game, personally, but anything would be good (FF8 on the finals gets a remake, bet on it) for an interesting final, short of an FFVII remake. |

Its a Sequel(tribute my ass) to FF4. Wiiware looks....weird. Looks like a flash game. Didnt look like that in the cellphone version screens.
