Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 712

If we were talking 2004 FFVI, yeah, but I can't get over how bad FFVI's first round performance was this contest. Hopefully it can rebound tomorrow.

We need to see how FFVI does, but as long as it does well tomorrow it should be good for first against a three way Nintendo mess, one of which will be another Zelda game.

Link's Awakening should help that cause nicely. We just saw some same-series craziness. Of course, LttP will beat up on LA pretty bad (though I think LA will avoid getting "Mega Man 3'D"), but Final Fantasy will be sandwiched between two Zelda games. You really can't ask for anything more if you're that crazy clown.

LTTP should murder LA, but it probably gets second. I was betting on this happening with a LA/Doom/LTTP/FF6 pack, so SM/SMK just helps the cause out.

Yeah, LTTP will beat up on LA worse than FFIV beat up on FFI, but even with FFIV doubling FFI, Mario World still beat it with ease, and you'd have to think FFIV/Mario World is around a 55/45 affair. FFVI/LTTP is 60/40 at worst, I think.

I figured this one was over 5 minutes in. Mario has a good board vote, how would it win if it was down big after the board vote?

Oh forgot about Link's Awakening.

Yeah that game should easily be in the single digits against LttP, but almost every single vote will come straight from LttP. Looks like FF6 should win there.

As for last round, FF6 should be weaker than last contest relative to the top games. but I don't think it's dropped hugely or anything. Definitely not ready to jump ship on FF6 yet.

But yeah.

SM's currently over 30% on LTTP -- stronger than 2004 confirmed!

and now it can beat a Zelda game next round!

Lieutenant Kettch | Posted 5/12/2009 9:31:47 PM | message detail
LttP is a bit behind its 2k4 percentage on SM, but considering SM/SMK is the debated match here and that LttP will likely rise a lot, I'd say that's ok.

Wish we could see a real LttP/CT rematch. :/

The results of this match for Asia will be interesting because we know Nintendo does bad there, except for Pokemon. Zelda will probably still do bad there regardless of the 3 Nintendo opponents.

Speaking of which, let me look at those things again just to see how laughably bad they are.

Haha, they adjusted Super Metroid over Super Mario World.

Whoops.

Just you wait until Samus beats Mario outright next character battle. She's already gone from 40% to 46% in matches against him, only 4% more to go!

Right now LA looks stronger than SM, but, we don't really know yet.

Adjusted stats!

Haha, they adjusted Super Metroid over Super Mario World.

Whoops.


Why bring this up now?

Anyway, there was not 'they', just me. And like I explicitly said in bold in the description :) ahem in the description, the 60% was based on absolutely nothing. It was just a number I randomly came up with, people thought it seemed vaguely reasonable at the time, so I rolled with it.

Yeah, it looks a little off to me, too, but I feel like I'm overrating FFIV a bit or something. I blame the stats topic !
