From: PegasusLover123 | #336 Look, I am all for blowing up the 2004 stats, I told everyone before this thing even started they would be worthless (LOL Starcraft, LOL underestimating Pokemon, LOL Soul Calibur, and LOLOLOL Region 128) and they very much are worthless. That said, Ocarina of Time tripled Super Mario 64, and we have had nothing in the character contests the last 5 years that would make it seem like Mario is ready to stand to Link. You don't make up a tripling like that, OoT is just the much more popular game. --- Gunner is, what is the word... passionate. but i think that MichaelWClark dude is far crazier than anything Gunner has posted.

It's common sense that 64 is stronger than Galaxy. Galaxy just didn't have any impact on people. Exactly. This is why the top 3 Mario games are set in stone. SMB3 is the most loved Mario game, and had the most hype behind it and all of that stuff. SMB revived gaming. SM64 introduced everyone to 3D gaming. Galaxy, at its best, is comparable to 64, but strength wise will be nowhere near it. SMW, while being an awesome SNES game, doesn't really have anything going for it other then that. The rest don't really matter. --- ertyu is actually a language. For example, 'dum' is ertyunese for 'godly'. - Topaz Kitsune Believe it or not, the Internet is serious business - Biolizard28 |

Since when has fake sequels done better then the original? SMG does things that have more similarities to the old school games but in 3D, which is a big reason why I like it the most. It does almost everything better than Mario 64 across the board -- though in terms of contest strength, it's kind of a no brainer. --- a metal slime appears |

Mario
cut. I'm pretty sure Mario is gonna take this. If not this round,
definitely next round (second of course) with no Yoshi's Island to
leech. --- You can't run away from trouble, there ain't no place that far. |

Mario
64 is obviously doing this in honor of Punch-Out!! coming out soon.
Everytime you think Chrono Trigger is going to pull away, Mario 64 hits
with a (120) star punch! What do you say, Doc? "Mario 64, platformin' on da N sixty-fo'!" --- http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j69/War13104/CenaJFrog.gif hey look i'm war and i'm stupid - WVI |

Mario definitely takes this this round, although next round will be interesting. Goldeneye will overlap more than Mario World and won't get pounded into the ground as bad.

Galaxy
may be a better overall game than 64, but it didn't have the "Oh wow"
factor that 64 had. Playing that game during its release was something
else. I think the only 3D action game I played before it was
Pandemonium! --- Better to ask than to speculate |

(LOL Starcraft, LOL underestimating Pokemon, LOL Soul Calibur, and LOLOLOL Region 128) These are only strikes against the Sp2k4 X-Stats if you applied them literally. Common sense dictated that all those objections were there, especially because Starcraft and the 128 Division are more or less repeating the same problem given that Starcraft is responsible for the placement of half of that division. The 2k4 X-Stats are a mess and generally to be avoided for a host of other reasons, but these were common sense issues that were easily resolvable by a few moments of thought. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?

2500
should be safe. Still really hard to tell how this goes. CT can either
show us the balanced trends it got last round, or it can revert to its
2006-2008 bottom of the barrel day vote. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

The
2k4 stats should be avoided because we're dealing with substantially
more votes and have had a huge site demographic swing since then more
than any other reason. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? SC2k6 (190/240) 99.4958 Percentile |

So, what lead does CT need to reach to be considered safe? I'd think at 1500, it would be fine. Maybe even 1000. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? SC2k6 (190/240) 99.4958 Percentile |

Yeah, CT's not going against Vincent or Axel or Master Chief here...the phrase "IT'S FREAKING MARIO" comes to mind. And I don't think this is going to end particularly close.
