From: LeonhartFour | #041
Ocarina of Time is taking advantage of an ideal situation. Yeah, the game's a beast.




Are you actually denying the game is a beast?


Even if you live in some absolute fantasy where FF VII would not be beaten handily by OoT at this current point in time, it is still the second strongest game on this site, and leagues ahead of whatever is #3 for that week. It is obviously a beast. And FF VII's situation was ideal as well, and a weaker pack than this.

Ocarina of Kick Your Ass


No matter how this ends up, it looks like FF8+FF9 combined won't match FF8's percentage on SC last round.

The percentage it got with Xenogears in the poll.

What is UP with this FF LFF?

Starcraft gains 31 votes! Looking at last round, FFVIII actually did about the same with the board vote as with the rest of the first 3 hours. It started exploding around 3 AM.

I'd said earlier how OoT's pack might be weaker than FF7's if LFF is big enough, and it clearly is.

I still think OoT is just as strong as FF7, and potentially moreso, but let's not crown the Bears just yet.

transience | Posted 5/17/2009 9:19:04 PM | message detail
well, round 1 was advantage OOT for me. round 2 looks like advantage OOT as well. it's more of a trend than saying anything definitive here.

of course that's all speculation, but I've been feeling good about OOT for a while now. and it's not like we're going to get a fair final regardless, so it'll depend more on the opponents than trying to split hairs between 1 and 1a.

opening vote is going to be vicious though. remember, FF7 had like 38% at this point.

Protestations of severe FF LFF only help Ocarina's cause, though, because it seems quite likely that there's going to be two Final Fantasies in the final.

We really need a 1v1 final afterwards in any case.

Ah yes indeed. And I was wondering which of those LFFs would be worse if the final was as expected. Right now VII/X seems to have more LFF.

Though, if VIII advances X might not make it.

No way. I've been onboard the OoT could beat FF7 1v1 train for well before this contest started, but no way does OoT get anywhere near 55%.

I was at work from 10 am to to 10 pm today. I checked the polls at work hoping to see change. Damn Gold and Silver fans. WTF is wrong with you? Most of the time Nintendo fans get it, and they will let their character die to help another one. Why not Pokemon fans yesterday. Hell, that is the problem right now. FF IX is the much better game, but people need to vote FF VIII so we can kill off this overrated piece of trash from Blizzard. Finally, I will actually request off the day of the final, as I want to be here all day watching OoT romp on FF VII's carcus.

I would take OoT>SSBM. OoT and SSBM should have some overlap, but I doubt that LFF enough to make both games weaker than the sum of their wholes like the FF games seem to be doing.

It's not like FFVII's opponents weren't LFFing too. Triple LFF, indeed. Starcraft at least is independent here.

What's going to beat FFX in the top half? The only game that could is Melee and it's going to get Ocarina'd, it only has a chance if FFVIII makes it there too.

We're pretty much guaranteed a Nintendo game from the bottom half (LttP/Mario 3/Mario 64 being the leading candidates), but if FFVIII loses here I don't think anything but FFX can make it on the top half (saving bandwagoning, etc.).

It's hard for me to be too impressed here, since we still don't know where SC and FF8 stand, and we have a nasty SFF situation with FF8 and 9 inflating OoT's percentage.

So taking FFVIII/Starcraft from round 1 and Starcraft/OoT from this match, it looks like that puts FFVIII at 36.82% on OoT at the moment. That's pretty good I guess.

It's too bad it looks like SM64 is going to knock out CT. I'd definitely be all over the LttP > FFVII bandwagon after this if the original match had taken place.

Membership to that "bandwagon" would have been assumed then almost. It would've almost reached the point where you'd have had to start a FF7>LttP bandwagon.
