GameFAQs Contests

CT will struggle to get 1000 votes before Europe chimes in, and then since tomorrow's a weekend M64 will go on a tear until about 3pm. I can definitely see a 2500-3000 vote swing.

it's weekend and CT is probably a bit better in the day

1000 vote swing at best.

Chrono Trigger at 1:15 in round 1 - 54.83%
Chrono Trigger at 24:00 - 56.36%

Mario 64 at 1:20 in round 1 - 43.73%
Mario 64 at 24:00 - 45.44%

hmm..edge Mario 64, I guess.

The question in the next round is which game gets hurt more by Goldeneye and FF7: Mario64 or CT?

That one's easy: Chrono Trigger.

Kinda sad that my #2 game in the contest, and what was once the #3 game on the site, isn't going to make it out of its division.

Actually, discounting my favourite games that aren't in the contest, Mario 64 could theoretically beat my #1 (LttP), #2 (CT), #3 (SMB3), #4 (FFVI), #7 (SotN), and #13 (SMW) games. I'd probably be really angry at it if it wasn't #8!

I'm not handing this to Mario 64 yet. it should be the favourite, but I've seen CT pull off crazier stuff.

you know, like 40+% on FF7.

Thats what happens with this generational crap. CT gets stuck in the same division as FF7, while games like FF4 might get out of its division

Which reminds me of the question i asked in the previous topic that apparently was ignored.

If the games weren't divided by generation, what sort of "epic" matchups would you love to see?

Tell me you don't think I'm even going to try to argue against that. I'm just saying, it's nice to see my favorite game actually win a match! And then pull it off in a semi-debated match! And have another possibly maybe debatable match that!

Its a good game, don't get me wrong. But its just a travesty to have it set up to possibly go further then CT.

Mario barely lost percentage that update: CT took everything from SotN and YI.

The plumber is fighting tooth and nail. I can only imagine how much better this would be 1v1.

Man my post timing is terrible.......

So guys if the games weren't limited by generation meaning they could be placed among any era of games (like nes game vs wii game for example), what sort of "epic" matchups would you love to see?

Honestly Albion, i think the death of Crimson Echoes may have caused CT to lose a bit, because i just can't understand this power surge from Mario 64.

Yeah, but its kinda hard to understand for me. I know Super mario 64 was sff'd last time around, but I just can't imagine it being this strong... but I guess it is since Symphony of the Night isn't weak enough to be blown out like this by two games who aren't top 10 caliber.

Link opened a portal and stepped through it, leaving his Fortress of Victory. He appeared at Peach's Castle, at the very heart of the Mushroom Kingdom, eager to swat down Mario's rebellion and reseize complete control of the armies of Nintendo. But instead of Peach's Castle, there lay a large crater there. Link looked up, and saw Peach's Castle resting atop the much larger Bowser's Castle, which was floating in midair. Around the castle there was a huge fleet of airships. Suddenly warp pipes appeared out of the ground for miles in every direction, and out of them came hordes of goombas, koopas, other creatures of the Mushroom Kingdom, and more threateningly, tanks.

Mario stepped out onto the balcony of the largest airship, smiled at his army, and addressed Link.

Mario: Link, you are strong, but foolish to come here alone. You must see that you cannot win this battle.

Link: Silence, traitor. I will give you one chance to surrender now. You know my strength. Your army will not avail you.

Mario: Okay then, Link. It looks like the revolution will be achieved earlier than planned. ATTACK!

Promptly the whole of Mario's army began moving towards Link. Cannons mounted on the airships, the castles, and on bluffs overlooking the battlefield launched their bullet bills at Link and latikus bombarded him with spiny shells and paratroopas divebombed him. But, none of them were getting any hits in on Link- he seemed to effortlessly barry every stroke directed against him.

Mario: Link, remember I have your secret elite corps under control. Release the Pokemon!

From the airships came a large numbers of koopas, magikoopas, and humans, each of them holding a red and white ball in his hand. They threw them, and hundreds of creatures, ranging from very weak to very strong, appeared. Link watched their attack with a stern face and gathered a ball of fire in his hands. It rapidly grew larger and spread, incinerating those unlucky members of Mario's army who had gotten near him and pushing back the pokemons' attacks. The dome of fire grew and grew and quickly spread towards the airships themselves.

Mario: Blastoise! Articuno! Every other water or ice type pokemon! On my signal, 3...2...1...attack!

Water and ice beams slammed into Link's dome of fire together, and it reeled, but was not defeated. Again the pokemon fired their beams of water and ice, and again the dome of fire shook. A third time they fired, and this time the dome of fire broke, barely protecting Link from the attacks as it shattered around him. Mario smiled, and signaled the pokemon to fire a fourth time, at Link himself, directly. As they neared him, the beams of water and ice coalesced into one giant beam of destruction vaporizing all in its path.

Link took out the Master Sword, and swung it at the beam. All would have thought Link and the Master Sword would have been instantly vaporized, but it was not so. Instead, the beam reflected off Link's blade, and rebounded, slicing Mario's greatest airship in half and removing it from the skies.

Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests.

Mario, however, had put on his wing cap, and he now flew down to meet Link.

Link: Now it is too late to surrender. You should have run while you could. Perhaps what's left of your army could have slowed me down enough for you to escape. Maybe you could have gone to Midgar....Cloud would have welcomed you in as a resistor against my reign of terror.

Slowly, however, the "M" on Mario's hat had transmuted itself into an "L." Link did not notice until the process was all but complete.

Link: Luigi?

But the transformation did not stop. It seemed that the L on the hat slowly became larger and larger, until it seemed the hat should not be able to contain it, and even larger, until it seemed it was larger than Luigi. Link abruptly realized that Luigi was no longer there, and the "L" had become increasingly 3-dimensional. It seemed to be composed of 4 cube-shaped blocks.....

Link: It's you!

L-Block: Yes, it is I. You thwarted me last year with your secret weapon, but I have control over it now, and shall use it against you! I even taught it some new tricks that I learned from watching Cloud perform it on you.....

L-Block: Pikachu, I choose you!

Now, use Knights of the Square! Ultimate End!

The world faded around Link, and he shuddered, for he knew what he was about to face. 13 of Square's greatest heroes and villains, in enhanced form, while he was able to do little more than throw up his arms in defense. Cecil, Terra, Frog, Tidus, Magus, Vivi, Tifa, Auron, Squall, Vincent, Crono, Sephiroth, and Cloud.....pain was Link's existence as he struggled to hold onto life.

Finally the last slash from Cloud's omnislash ended, and the dream world of the summon faded. L-Block smiled, or smiled as much as it could without a mouth. It suddenly shot forward, aiming at Link's bleeding form, to finish him off.

But it was not to happen. With the last of his power, Link created a portal and escaped.

L-Block restored his disguise as Mario, and plotted his next move. He had placed magical cameras all around the battlefield, so that the whole world had witnessed the battle, except that the spells had been cast so they had not seen Mario's transformation into L-Block but had rather seen Mario there the whole time. With this humiliation, Link would have no army left. L-Block could consider himself ruler of the Kingdom of Nintendo. Now, all that stood between him and world domination was the Square Confederation. It was perhaps foolish to immediately attack Midgar, but he would deal with that city soon. First, he was going to do something that everyone would expect the real Mario to do- settle an old score.

The Nintendo hordes marched on the Kingdom of Guardia.

this is one of the easiest results to understand ever. you're talking about a groundbreaking, loved Nintendo game on a site that loves Nintendo going toe-to-toe with a niche, loved Square RPG. there is absolutely nothing weird about this.

"Actually, fire didn't make Sephiroth awesome. Sephiroth made fire awesome." -Karma Hunter

Mario 64 obliterated Nights and was SFF'd by the biggest SFF hammer in the universe. You take a general Nintendo shift since the site's earlier days, couple that with a general decline in old Square games like Chrono Trigger, and voila. CT's probably not at its 2004 level like most of us suspected, but it's still a beast. Mario 64 just might be a beastlier beast.

Mario 64 might be the strongest mario game

being stronger than SMB3 already puts it on CT/LTTP territory,so if we consider that it's not all that strange.

I think its too early to be saying it beats SMB3.

Ok, Mario has this and probably the next round as well. Goldeneye is big N64 game #3, but I can only imagine that match pic and how much Mario is going to stand out. If the Nintendo fans abandon Goldeneye enough, Mario might have the lead on FFVII or a good while.
