So
guys sorta like last match just how big a vote lead do you guys think
MGS is gonna need to make sure Pokemon RBY doesn't snatch 1st away from
him this round? Well considering the Nintendo games are going to split the day vote anything above 1000 would make MGS look good, but breaking 2000 will give it the match. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls BGE2 - Today's Match: MGS > FFT Points: 133/192 |

True
Ulti, but don't forget people consider MM as the "black sheep" of the
Zelda series up against the first two generations of the pokemon series. So yeah MM is in trouble. --- "If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh." -Magus |

time to make a controversial list 1. OOT 1a. FF7 3. Pokemon RBY 4. Mario 64 5. Melee 7. LTTP 8. CT 8. Mario 3 9. FF10 10. Mario World simply put, I have no respect for old games against newer ones until they prove me otherwise.

Mario
64 doesn't qualify as a "newer" game to most people on this site. It
came out 13 years ago, 1 year before FFVII and 1 year after CT. If
anything, it's very nostalgia driven. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

Now
that you point that out transcience, that explains how CT was royally
crushed by SM64 as that game basically what helped cause the grand
shift from 2d to 3d gaming. --- "If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh." -Magus |

2d vs. 3d is a big distinction. that means more than the actual age, I'd say. You're probably right. I still say Mario 3 beats Mario 64 as of now. I know those old polls mean very little, but Mario 3 still beat it with ease in that Mario game poll. Of course, that means nothing relative to this contest, as we've seen repeatedly. I think games like Mario 3 are the exception to stuff like that. MGS's lead at exactly 100. --- http://www.court-records.net/animation/phoenix-superobjection.gif |

Well
considering the Nintendo games are going to split the day vote anything
above 1000 would make MGS look good, but breaking 2000 will give it the
match. GS managed to cut off about 700 votes from MGS's lead during the ASV, so I'm thinking RBY should be able to do slightly better than that. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but still not as cool as FastFalcon05, Guru Champ! |

This is brilliant for the Pokemon games, but it scares me a bit. From: transience | #456 I see where you're coming from, but it's still difficult to imagine RBY taking out every single Mario game. I doubt the Nintendo fanbase wants such a thing. Regardless, such little diversity in these lists is pretty awful, but what can we do. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/8zkzm1.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

We'll see LttP beat Mario 64 soon enough! And I think if RBY was the #3 game on the site it'd be winning right now, split be damned. (I still think it might, though.) --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |

GS
managed to cut off about 700 votes from MGS's lead during the ASV, so
I'm thinking RBY should be able to do slightly better than that. GS was also the only ASV type game. There's three day vote games plus tomorrow is Sunday rather than a weekday. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls BGE2 - Today's Match: MGS > FFT Points: 133/192 |

yeah, 3 is closer to 10 than it is 2. heck, it's probably closer to 15. Yeah, I'd definitely buy that. I know my lack of RBY on mine is probably controversial in light of what's happening right now, and it'd get worse if I said there's probably two more games (FF8 and Brawl) I'd still put ahead of it, but it's just all so close that you could arrange them in almost any order because I don't see more than a few % separating all of them. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?

Oh,
and the game between 2 and 3 is definitely huge, especially if CT
overperformed on FFVII in the final (and if SSBM did as well, both of
which are possible). --- http://www.court-records.net/animation/phoenix-superobjection.gif |

I'm
surprised you all have such respect for LTTP. what reason is there for
that? it can't be its performances against stuff it should have
murdered, and it can't be because of history after what you just saw
out of CT. --- yzzyx |

People tend to forget that the Super Six has FFVI not Melee. Reason why Melee wasn't added was because the 128-bit division was too close to it. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls BGE2 - Today's Match: MGS > FFT Points: 133/192 |

RBY
over the big Mario games I have trouble seeing from a purely non-stats
point of view. They are all heavily nostalgia driven games, but the
NES/SNES generation still has more voters than the N64/PS generation
here. The post-Pokehate generation isn't really going to help RBY there
either. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

out of CT. ZeldaFEAR? Honestly, I'm not sure. You're absolutely right that the CT match should be a wake up call against LttP, but I remain confident in it, even if only because the site trending Nintendo in a big way since 2k4 should cover the difference. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?

LttP
is basically #3 by default at the moment to me. I haven't seen anything
that makes me think, "Whoa, this thing could beat LTTP." --- http://www.court-records.net/animation/phoenix-superobjection.gif |
transience | Posted 5/16/2009 9:44:07 PM | message detail |
I haven't seen anything that leads me to believe "LTTP could beat this", either. honestly, I don't think LTTP is far from any other game on that list, but everyone seems to have it there because we've always had it there. I want to shake up that thinking and ask "why?". and we'll never know thanks to this bracket argh --- xyzzy |

Also,
as tranny said about this site being very pro-Nintendo/Square. MGS was
pretty much the consensus strongest non-Nintendo/Square entity, and
here it is struggling to break 60% on a low-tier Zelda, despite a pair
of beloved Nintendo games from the same era in there. We love our
Nintendo and Square here on SquintendoFAQS. --- http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j69/War13104/CenaJFrog.gif hey look i'm war and i'm stupid - WVI |

As
I said a couple days back, I used to have tremendous confidence that no
Nintendo game beside OOT could touch LTTP, but after a series of
matches starting with SMB/LoZ, I no longer feel that way. LTTP still
gets some benefit of the doubt until it proves otherwise though. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |
RPGuy96 | Posted 5/16/2009 9:44:49 PM | message detail |
If
the LttP comment was directed at me, it's because it's my favourite
game in the contest, and, unlike a bunch of other favourites of mine
(augh CT and FFVI), it hasn't given me any reason to doubt it yet. I agree that LttP was merely good in the first two rounds, though it hasn't been in the spotlight yet - both of those matches were about second place. We'll see what it can do against FFVI in an unfavourable situation where it really needs to bring the SFF hammer down. --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |
