GameFAQs Contests

Halo failing to come back on Diablo has nothing to do with SSBM and WW being here and everything to do with it being down like 60-40 before the ASV.

True, KH2 alone would knock out its rpg support.

er... since when was KH2 going to be in that match?

Since Kingdom Hearts 2 is going to win this round.

Oh hey looky looky. For like the 3rd straight match things are looking quite a bit different than in the first couple hours.

We figured SSBM would have a great power hour, but not this good! Not quite RBY style but still pseudo-joke trendish almost - surprising to me. Letting Diablo getting 40% on you isn't super-impressive anymore. Melee looking much more beatable now. Good news for Final Fantasy fans! (I think...though FFX making the final match might be the kiss of death for FF7)

What is this trash day vote it can't even shave 100 votes off Wind Waker in 5 hours!?

Damn you Halo!

No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

Votals are looking better this week than last. Looks like finals are winding down, prepare for a round 3 with much better taste (believe).

I like Oblivion's picture. Enough to vote for it!

Man, that's an AWFUL pic for ToS. Lucky draw for Big Boss though. Can't wait to see the next round be a character round to see all the Snakes with sprite pics. :P

Uh oh, that pic wont do ToS much good.

Snake might have drawn a good one here, and Oblivion has got a nice picture as well. Can't say much about WoW's pic since i dont play it.

Wait what

Two posts of "ToS wins" followed by three posts berating ToS's pic. Hmmm

The Oblivion pic is really cool. WoW and MGS3 are the most noticeable.

thats a good pic for symphonia? I'd say its only the third best pic there (at least its better then oblivion)

However, I can actually see both of those statements making sense. Yes, ToS's pic is bad, but at least it's not Oblivion's.

WoW never had a chance anyway.
---

I think what ToS would have needed here was a pic of either Colette, Genis, or Lloyd doing their Hi-Ougi (meaning the picture cut-in on the top half). That would surely get the game more votes.

I think it's a good picture. Better than the stupid looking anime stuff probably (definitely not that anime is bad, but ToS anime looks pretty crappy). Oblivion has the worst pic there. Usually wouldn't matter, but the games aren't far apart.

ToS is also one of the few games in the bracket that has legit bandwagon potential. The ToS board vote is going to be ridiculously off the hook.

No way. ToS is too niche to get bandwagoned. It would either require a) an off-site rally or b) on-site awareness of what is going on. Neither will be happening.

Also I might be wrong, but is WoW the first pic that wasn't a screenshot?

Symphonia's is a pic straight out of a battle. It looks great.

MGS3>Symphonia>WoW>Oblivion as pics go.

The latter will be happening. You are tremendously underestimating this board's obsession with this game. The board vote for ToS is going to be INSANE.

It'll drop the rest of the match, but all those votes are going to be a significant handicap for Oblivion.

I hope Oblivion can overcome it myself, I just started playing that game few days ago. (and spent like a whole day getting this super-complex FCOM mod thing working ugh)

Team RocketElite, that pic must have been from the PS2 version of the game, because in the GC version only Colette, Lloyd, and Genis had Hi-Ougi's so i wouldn't have seen Presea's before.

PS2 version is still ToS, so wouldn't it be eligible?

It is.

I can't see why it wouldn't be. The PS2 version was also released in 2004 so it would be the right division as well. Also he did let this go:

Now looking at tonight's match, do you think that WoW and Oblivion will weaken each other enough for ToS to sneak by or do you think one will totally drain the other of votes?

I seem to have prematurely shot my wad on what was supposed to be a dry run, and now I have a bit of a mess on my hands

I'm loving all of these people doubting WoW here, and think it'll actually not advance. Its all the sweeter when it proves you all wrong.

That is awesome. "Pokemon" names in the description should be in all caps and the plural form is usually the same as the singular form so there's not supposed to be an "s", but those are minor details.

I hope WoW advances and ToS beats MGS3 for good measure

Match XLV: TES IV: Oblivion vs. Tales of Symphonia vs. Metal Gear Solid 3 vs. World of Warcraft

Last Round:

TES IV: Oblivion – 26.79%
Tales of Symphonia – 25.00%
God of War – 24.81%
GTA: San Andreas – 23.40%

Metal Gear Solid 3 – 35.35%
World of Warcraft – 24.02%
Halo 2 – 21.78%
Okami – 18.85%

Analysis

I’ve been dreading this entire match for an entire round. Two games I can place, but the other two still have a huge range. I can accept that San Andreas was a weak game though I don’t see it being far off from the other Grand Theft Auto games which place Oblivion and Tales of Symphonia in a heated battle with the other two games. Also while I’m not the only one Metal Gear Solid 3 was the only game I correctly predicted to be in this match, crazy bracket.

Even if San Andreas was at what I expected Metal Gear Solid 3 should still take first without much problem. We just saw Vice City lose to Metal Gear Solid 2 a couple of days ago without much trouble so even at worst case scenario Oblivion may come close, but won’t actually defeat Metal Gear Solid 3, though nothing is impossible in this contest.

World of Warcraft is the safe bet for second and you’ll see a lot of people giving it second while not mentioning the other two games. In reality World of Warcraft could be in a lot of trouble. Last round it was unable to show its true rallying power, though here it may need all the rallying power it can get for it to place.

Oblivion placing or even winning was not that surprising though winning with Tales of Symphonia in second was something no one on the board saw coming. While the debate for the strongest Grand Theft Auto game is still ongoing I would be surprise if San Andreas was far away from the strongest game, though it could be the strongest game of the series. While the Grand Theft Auto games haven’t been anything special they haven’t done terribly as well. Halo on the other hand hasn’t looked that good and World of Warcraft just barely defeated the weakest game of the series. Even if Oblivion doesn’t take second it won’t be blown away.

The one time the board does not back a game it likes is the one time the game decides to win. Tales of Symphonia may have come in second last round, but it does have a chance. Like last round it is the most different game though this time Oblivion has more in common with these opponents than it did with last round’s opponents, though it really isn’t that notable. Just remember that if Tales of Symphonia is close to second the board will rally it for a win just like it did with God of War.

This match is going to be about rallying and whether or not it can be enough to win. If San Andreas was indeed not a dud World of Warcraft is going to be in big trouble. It’ll be interesting to watch Tales of Symphonia start off strong then taper off during the night. Like last round Oblivion will start off slow and gain steam throughout the match and finally World of Warcraft will probably have erratic trends due to rallying.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Metal Gear Solid 3 > GTA: San Andreas

charmander6000’s Prediction: Metal Gear Solid 3 – 32.17%, TES IV: Oblivion – 24.33%, Tales of Symphonia – 22.68%, World of Warcraft – 20.82%

Yeah, the PS2 port in Japan only is why most sensible people assume Tales of Vesperia on PS3 in Japanese only too!
