You don't want to know how bad Fallout 3 looked under the original system of subtracting 100,000.

The difference here is this is something new rather an old idea that became useless by the end of 2003.

Also using 95k gets us...

Tetris - 2641 - 12.75%
Mega Man 2 - 2145 - 10.36%
Super Mario Bros. - 8713 - 42.07%
The Legend of Zelda - 7210 - 34.81%

The only problem here is that we need to find a number where everyone will vote for even if it's Crystalis/Phantasy Star IV/Prince of Persia/Tecmo Super Bowl.

And it looks like Link's Awakening is going to outdo its first round percentage by a good bit. So for all the "Triple. Nintendo. LFF." people that think Sonic 1 is going to hurt Mario 3/Mario World next round...would Link's Awakening be beating FFVI if it wasn't for Sonic 2 (or MMX)?

Once again, SFF from the 8/16 bit era is so androgynous that it's hard to see any game hurting any other game to any significant margin more than the other games in the poll.

Twice in a row now, LA has proven to be worth somewhere in the mid-40s against Final Fantasy VI. I'm not sure how a match against Wind Waker would play out, but regardless, I now feel pretty good about calling it a top four Zelda game (because there's no way the original takes it directly). Needless to say, I feel pretty vindicated after people laughed at me when I called it an upper tier Zelda! You guys need to play it more.

I don't trust those early games against their more recent brothers. Those NES Mega Mans would die against X, we saw what happened to FF1 against only a slightly more recent FF, and I think we all get the feeling that Mario 1/Mario 3 is going to look very ugly in a few rounds. I'd take the original Zelda over Adventures of Link no problem, but I'm not even sure if I'd side with it over Majora's Mask.

I'd say it's more a case of LA's strength. FFVI didn't look bad against MMX or Sonic, and it's got a similar percentage against Mortal Kombat as it did last time. These first two matches are definitely the best reads we're gonna get on it, though, so I guess it'll be left up to debate.

FFVI doesn't look bad today, not if LA is indeed that strong. FFVI is doing fine against Sonic 2 and Mortal Kombat 2.

FFVI looked fine against MMX as well, maybe people weren't ready to accept handheld games to have power. I'd still take FFVI over SMW.

FFVI didn't look bad against MMX or Sonic

It's doing worse against Sonic 2 than SMW, which it would have beaten comfortably in 2004.

Maybe something weird just happened in LttP/FFVI. The picture for Link was pretty bad, but FFVI had Amano art IIRC (which *should* be a reason for it to overperform, but people have bad taste) too so who knows. E3 had already happened by that point, but maybe it was a slow build for Zelda hype that year.

PartOfYourWorld | Posted 5/14/2009 2:32:34 PM | message detail
That's a pretty decent boost, a bit more than I'd be willing to attribute to random variation. It might be a combination of FFVI's bad picture and MMX overlapping a bit more with Nintendo that Sonic does.

Even taking into account SMW/Sonic 2 SFF, this still only puts FFVI close to being on par with '04 SMW at best.

I think so as well. It was always hard for me to buy that performance being legit (something about FFVI being worth 47%+ on Chrono Trigger just didn't sit right with me). Even if it is weaker relative to LttP this time around, though, I'm still confident the triple Nintendo split pulls it through to a win.

Yeah, MM is exactly the wrong kind of game to take advantage of the RBY/GS overlap. We already saw how MM3 took advantage of overlap with another Ninty game in the poll.

...Which just means that SC's chances are 3% while MM's chances are 1%. I still think neither have a shot at advancing.

What do you define as a World of Hurt? I think RBY doubles GSC (which is enough to beat MM by a very comfortable margin), but I doubt it enters 70-30 territory.
