"Did people think it would be?"

...Did you read the last topic? It was expected to be a wire-to-wire nailbiter. Still, I'm happy the game that saved gaming is kicking the crap out of the elf with the sword!

I have been waiting for SEVEN FREAKING YEARS for Mario to beat Zelda in a straight-up match of equals.

This feels good.

This makes Contra and Doom and all the other games that failed to advance with LFF help look like utter ****.


Contra was SFFed just as much as Metroid was. Seriously, who has played Contra and has not played a Zelda game?

SMB looking awesome. My years of telling people the game was an absolute beast validated :)

I was telling people before the contest started that SMB might be the single most important entrant, because while it'll get mauled by SMB3 SFF, it could still hold SMB3 back a lot - enough for FFIV (or FF1) to place, and perhaps even win a quarterfinal match.

Which then could cost FF7 against LttP in the semis if a FF makes it but LoZ doesn't!

They're some nice pics too.

Never! RBY is in for a beating if it doesn't nab 40% of the vote in its poll! :p
Lopen | Posted 5/9/2009 9:07:37 PM | message detail
SMB isn't that strong guys, this is merely a result of a good chunk of the voterbase not knowing any of the games. Expect it to collapse against newer games, relative to what we're seeing here.

5 minute division stats:

42.63% The Legend of Zelda
14.64% Contra
14.27% Metroid
13.07% Duck Hunt
12.46% Ninja Gaiden
9.19% Dragon Warrior III

Third tier? You're kidding, right? This Zelda is probably only beaten by OoT and LttP, with TP hot on its heels. It's NOWHERE near MM or WW (funny how all the Zelda games that suck are alliterative...).
-LusterSoldier- | Posted 5/9/2009 9:10:03 PM | message detail
Wow, SMB is scoring 57.37% on Zelda right now (at the freeze), but that should drop a bit before this match ends. Absolutely insane that it can outdo SMB3's final result on Zelda. SMB should drop in percentage while Zelda rises a bit.

It's not a surprise that Mario 1 could match Mario 3's SFF power, in my opinion. Like others were saying, this game gets respect like no other.

Oh, I don't think SMB loses to Zelda straight up, don't misunderstand. I just think that if you replace Ninja Gaiden with something relevant to today's gamers like GTA4 or something, that you'd see a much closer match.

The fact that SMB is beating LoZ by almost as much as RBY beat Majora, and I'd definitely take LoZ > Majora.

Not to mention the fact that Majora was dealing with 2 other N64 games in that match.
