hey look i'm war and i'm stupid - WVI

And FF7 looks worried since Mario 64 looks set to really give him a beating.

Well I believe OOT has the win in the contest...

GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~

Can we all just bask in the glory that is this match? Nothing has made me happier this entire contest.

Current Score: 136
Today's pick: Super Mario 64 > Chrono Trigger

Well i think FFVII has gotten a little weaker, and FFX has gotten a lot stronger. We will see how OoT does with a SFF'd FFVIII. If it does not destroy that match it will lose to FFX down the road.

Are you calling FFX > OoT > FFVII a possibility?

Do you mean at the same time or throughout the contest?

OoT/RBY/Melee/FFX, FFX > OoT could happen.

FACT or FICTION: If RBY gets 1st or comes close to getting 1st tonight, it goes to Round 4 at least.

Depends how well FFVIII and Starcraft do against OoT.

BGE2 - Today's Match: Chrono Trigger > Super Mario 64 Points: 129/184

FACT. If it can do that with two other Nintendo games (including another Pokemon game) in the poll and against competition like Metal Gear Solid, I think it goes far. Of course, I don't see this happening tonight.

Fiction, because FFVIII will still beat it.

CT improves a little bit with the afternoon vote past 3, but not very much at all. Now that we're moving into the weekend second night vote, it appears to finally be slowing Mario 64's gains.

Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests.

I want to say fact, because if RBY beats MGS with GS and Majora's Mask in the poll, it is a contender for #3. But I'm not sure how the OOT/RBY SFF will go, so FFVIII or Starcraft might still be able to beat it in round 3.
---

Here's a variation of that question that I think is also intriguing: how much more does LoZ:OoT affect R/B/Y than LoZ:MM and G/S already do? We know LoZ:MM is no LoZ:OoT, though it's still a LoZ-game...and G/S should cause some Poke-havoc for R/B/Y as well. How much worse would you expect R/B/Y to do against MGS in R3 than tomorrow?
---
Prototype
Shorthand, do you speak it?!

I think RBY does better compared to MGS next round. Ocarina is *the* Nintendo game, of course, but GS has more overlap with RBY than any other game and MM bothers RBY while FFVIII would bother MGS if anything. If GS just gets flat out killed (ala Yoshi's Island today or MM3 in Mario World's match), then maybe not, but I don't expect that to happen.

I'd agree, especially since MGS was still getting consideration as a Top 10 game before half the Mario series exploded. I still expect to see Pokemon closer to Majora's Mask than MGS, though.

Lots of LFF in the next match. Could see something weird like MGS matching both Pokemon games combined.

Hey look, creative's massively underrating Pokémon.

Again.
---
That makes a change.

I'm increasingly thinking that games/characters perform substantially differently between rounds, beyond the ability of fanbase overlaps to explain. Based on SOTN, SM64 today is projected to 60-40 the SM64 of last round. SMW pulled the same kind of magic against FF1/FF4. And we all know about Pikachu's transition from round 2 to round 3 in both 2007 and 2008. We know about bandwagoning, first round underperformances by obvious favorites, and last place factor, but these may prove to be the rule and not the exceptions.

MGS matching both Pokemon games combined would be worse LFF than FF4/FF1. Possibly, but very unlikely.

http://thengamer.com/guru/

I want to agree with you creative, and say that there's no way Pokemon beats MGS tomorrow, but I have a bad feeling about this, like the site is about to decide to bandwagon Pokemon to the finals.
---
Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests.

If you had asked me two days ago about RBY's chances at first...well, I would've said it had one, but that would've been with my Pokefreak glasses on.

Now, after seeing Goldeneye get 33% on FF7 with 2 other Ninty games in the poll and SM64 clobber CT with YI in the poll, I think it has a legitimately (small) chance.

---
http://thengamer.com/guru/

Also, say what you will about me being a delusional fanboy, but I think the chance of CT and SM64 advancing next round is not exactly zero. There is no better way to start a bandwagon for a game than to put it up against FFVII.

a metal slime appears

Bold Prediction: RBY is over 50% for the first minute.

Awww yeah.
---
Let's do this.

red sox, I hope you never leave. The stuff I say looks tame compared to your predictions!

---
http://thengamer.com/guru/

Bold Prediction: No it won't

Seriously, GSC wins the board vote easily.

---
http://thengamer.com/guru/

Are you calling your bold prediction on GSC winning the board vote? Or is that what you truly think?

Either way, very unlikely. RBY will crush GSC worst then what SM64 is doing to SMW2!

(BOLD PREDICTION)

ertyu is actually a language. For example, 'dum' is ertyunese for 'godly'. - Topaz Kitsune
Believe it or not, the Internet is serious business - Biolizard28

RBY could end up crushing GS, but it's going to be lagging behind in the beginning. MM and MGS have BRACKETS, and this board is a perfect example of the type of voting block that would vote for GS>RBY.

---
http://thengamer.com/guru/

Okay, I'll try to stop the overreactions. But yeah, what I mean is THIS FORMAT SUCKS and absolutely anything can happen.
---

of voting block that would vote for GS>RBY.

Vocal minority. The majority of people here believe that RBY is the better game.

I cannot disagree more. GS will be pulverised from the moment the poll opens.
---
Which is sad AND awesome.

If that's what you think.


Just don't start flipping out when RBY isn't dominating from the onset!

---
http://thengamer.com/guru/

On the other hand, the board knows that it needs to vote for RBY instead of GS to give it a chance against MGS. I don't know whether the desire to have RBY win beats out the GS favoritism, but that sort of thing has worked in the past.
---

http://backloggery.com/rpguy96

I try not to overreact to poll results (unless it's a FF beating HL2 or something).

But there's no real reason to believe GSC is more liked here because people speak up about it. I mean, if you go by that logic, you would have to believe Majora's Mask, Super Mario World, and Final Fantasy 8 are the most loved games in their series on here, which are not true.

BOLTALIC PREDICTION: Metal Gear Solid gets a higher percentage this round than it got last round, a la SMW!

More people speak up about FFIX than FFVIII, for the record. Heck, I'd wager FFX is actually Board 8's favorite Final Fantasy at this point.

Don't worry, I'll spin whatever I'm given to fina a way to get RBY to at least place next round.

And FFIX has a great board vote while FFVIII has an awful one.

---
http://thengamer.com/guru/

Indeed. FFIX and FFX are basically the only FF games that don't have awful board votes.

On a side note, someone (was it Harrich?) did a Favorite FF Ranking list that got a ton of entries. FFX easily got 1st.

I think tranny did it. I was thinking about that topic when I said that.
