Or does it? I'd expect Mario 3 to make mince meat out of CT now.

I doubt Mario 64's stronger than Mario 3, but it's probably not too far off. Needless to say, though, CT's not a top 5 game anymore. Sux!

GameFAQs may not like new Nintendo, but they certainly have the good taste to prefer old Nintendo over washed-up jRPGs!

You still think CT SFF SMW?

The amount SM64 is going to win by will pretty much make YI a non-factor.

Assuming Mario 64 finishes at 74% on SOTN, using 2004 stats and yesterday's result......Mario 64 gets 51.67% on FFVII. You'd think 2004 stats couldn't be that much more wrong than Triple LFF results!

I adjusted the Mario/Crono 2003 numbers to follow EDT, instead of the number of hours since the start of the match. This hour could very likely have been CT's worst of the day (based on more recent matches than Mario/Crono 2003- that's just for fun!). I'm guessing Mario 64 finishes with a win of about 2000 votes.

Mario's just killing it now. Such a great performance from it. I expected it to show it had real, Top 15 strength, here, but this is just crazy. It's definitely in the Top 10 and has a good shot at Top 5. Unlike Pokemon, SM64 is actually beating a opponent we already have a good read on and doing it with another Mario game here, so this is really something.

SMB, SMW, SM64 all looked great this round, while SMB3 disappointed. This performance could hint at 64 > 3, but I think it's too soon to say something like that. Gotta except that the Top 4 Mario games are hard to place at the moment.

Pretty crazy performance on SM64's part here. I'm guessing that SOTN is underperforming due to the picture. Even getting Chrono Trigger getting 72% on it seems like a little bit too much.

Speaking of which, we're currently ahead of Mario/Crono 2003 in votals by a few hundred votes. We're going to end up probably 10,000+ behind though, which just tells you the magnitude of the stuffing in that match.

Yeouch. I figured Mario 64 would do well in the day if it could go even in the Power Hour, but not this well. CT's going to end up with like 47% on Mario 64 here.

Looks like Mario's the huge star of the round, even though his last game is going to be embarrassed. The Oracle undershot Mario World by 17% (!) and Mario 1 by 7%. I don't know what the Oracle consensus is for this match yet, of course, but I'd suspect it was around 30% and Mario 64's going to end up in the low forties, so another 10% miscue. Kinda funny that Mario 3 is going to have one of the least impressive Mario performances this round.

While we're at it, rank these Nintendo games:
Link to the Past
Mario 1
Mario 3
Mario World
Mario 64
Melee

I'd do the same for Square, but there's only three games in the area. So, do you take FFVIII and/or FFX over CT now?
---
Mustache...and Green...
http://backloggery.com/rpguy96

LTTP
Mario 64
Mario 3
Melee
Mario World
Mario 1

I can see them potentially being within 5% of each other from top to bottom, though the spread is probably a bit larger than that. Mario 64 over 3 and Melee is probably a CT-fanboyism induced overreaction, but we'll see.

You know people talk about SM64 suffering more than CT next round due to Goldeneye... I'm not so sure. CT showed in 2004 that it didn't suffer much SFF from FFVII. Still doesn't mean it won't suffer from LFF. The top 2 RPGs on this site most definitely overlap over a large fanbase. There may not be a disproportionate preference towards one of them, but I think they will both be weakened relative to Goldeneye/SM64. If SM64 can manage to SFF significantly, it may be able to get a high enough percentage of their respective leeched votes to pull out the win over CT.
---

I still have a lot of faith in Melee. In retrospect, it had a perfectly legitimate excuse not to SFF Wind Waker into oblivion in round 1, namely, that no obvious favorite was able to SFF much of anything in round 1.
---
Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests.

SM64 should be a huge favorite over CT next round. Indeed, I have a feeling Goldeneye is just going to fold and suffer SFF/Last Place Factor. As CT is actually losing here, I'm a bit worried about the same thing happening to it and Square voters just going over to FFVII in droves to safeguard its first place finish.
---
Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests.

Oh, Mario is definitely the overwhelming favorite over CT now. It's going to win this comfortably despite another Mario platformer here. Goldeneye will overlap more than YI on the virtue of being so much stronger, but Mario will still stand out more than he does here, and the huge RPG split should hurt both Square games pretty bad. Heck, if the third game was a neutral one (or one that hurt FFVII a bit more), I could easily see Mario fighting for first. This performance is that crazy.

Sadly, it also guarantees that FFVII won't really be challenged for the whole contest. The LttP pick is dead.

I would take all 4 big Mario games over Melee. Melee is nowhere near as strong as it was in 2004, and Brawl would beat it comfortably.

Chrono Trigger should start recovering in a few hours here to make it look at least somewhat respectable.

It is fact that Goldeneye will hurt SM64 a hell of a lot more than YI is here, and you could make the argument that YI is hurting Chrono Trigger as well. Next round will be all about how well CT stands up to FF7

Agreed. It's happening to SotN right now (in a scenario where it should be doing better), so I can't see why it wouldn't happen to Goldeneye if the Nintendo fans wanted it. I think SM64 will hold first place for a scary while.

Well, we've been working on the assumption that Ocarina couldn't do to LttP/Mario 3 what FFVII could do to FFX/FFVIII, and it would lose for that reason...but today might bring that into question. Mario 64 wants to be a top five game today, and it probably wasn't too far off from that mark in 2k4. (Mario games have had a lot of reason to rise in the past five years, but not by absolutely spellbinding margins.) And Ocarina got over 76% on it. It might be the case that Ocarina can bring the SFF hammer down pretty hard, especially when it needs to to win.

We gotta look at how Sotn is doing here. Its doing pretty similiar to what it would do on CT in 2004 according to Xstats. I don't think its so much CT dropping (though it probably has a little bit), and more SM64 being a monster
