I
don't know why you think Mario 3 and Mario 1 are going to LFF worse
just because they shared a system. You're talking about three games
with a 95%+ playrate. --- http://www.court-records.net/animation/phoenix-superobjection.gif |

And
MM2 did noticeably better against Tetris during the day vote compared
to any other time. The same is true for Zelda against Mario 1 as well. --- http://www.court-records.net/animation/phoenix-superobjection.gif |

I think 3 = World at this point in terms of indirect strength. Sure, Zelda will stand out, but at this point, I think it is just too weak to do anything about it. --- http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=147 |

Good job Zelda, it's going to end up around 48% probably this time, and achieve the respectability it could not last round. I don't think SMW has much of a chance against SMB3 tomorrow or next round. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

Tetris's horrible day vote, it's going to need at least a 2000 vote

What
happened to the arguments of 1=3 indirectly? Even if that's been
rethought, the original Mario still shouldn't be very far behind 3 and
World at all. Zelda just stands out too much there, and Mario 3
probably can't pull an OoT and SFF the other series games into negative
percent. I think most everyone would take Zelda in that scenario. Regardless, I'm still hoping FFIV throws a much needed wrench into that machine. --- Yoblazer: http://i37.tinypic.com/x1d2s9.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

still think Mario 1 starts to falter when facing *any* modern game,

recognition is one thing, beating up games people care about is
entirely different. --- http://thengamer.com/guru/ |

It's
still just about impossible to tell how strong Mario 1 is indirectly.
The 1=3 arguments were based basically entirely off of Zelda doing only
2% better against 1 than 3. In any case, Zelda shouldn't be so far
behind Mario 3 that triple LFF can't turn around the match. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

Generally
you don't go 10% higher when facing stronger competition, nor do you
beat two games combined by more than you beat one game the previous
round. That performance is all kinds of fishy. --- http://www.court-records.net/animation/phoenix-superobjection.gif |

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3481 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3485 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3492 SM64 and SSBB, much like SMW, also blew past our R2-expectations under a similar situation of having a much weaker SFF'able opponent tag along...three's a trend, I believe we say. Between that and Knowing FF2/4 beat the hell out of FF, you have to at least assume FF2/4 will be a bit tougher than FF in R1...which got 44.54% against SMW. Throw in SMB3 (and Sonic 1 if you think it's gonna hurt Nintendo tomorrow), and FF2/4 has to be pretty much guaranteed to advance. I like it for first place over SMB3. SMW's going to look VERY different from R2; it'll be a wake-up call to the people ignoring the FF/FF2 split and MM3-SFF'ing. --- BT > Harrich lol me |

Mario
64 has just as much reason to have been a fluke as Mario World does. In
both cases, Mario did way way better against its round 1 opponent. We
shall see, but I feel pretty good about both Mario games advancing
right now- if FFIV is really closer than last round showed, it's
probably not by enough that the LFF will be enough to overcome it. I
don't expect SMB3/SMW LFF to be very strong, and I don't expect SMW to
get SFF'd when it is the game that needs votes. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

MetricTrout | Posted 5/24/2009 9:55:44 PM | message detail |
Those 2500 votes to Battletoads do not explain how SMW and FF got an insane number of votes as well. SMW actually scored fewer votes in the second round than the first, which makes sense when you are facing stronger competition. The insane votals in the first round combined with the fact that FF/FF2 just collapsed in round 2 clearly suggests a FF overperformance in the first round. Which makes sense. Being the first Squaresoft match and being named "Final Fantasy" probably means that FF got a good bit of franchise voting in the first round. --- http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=147 |

FF2/4
nearly doubled a game that got 44.5% against SMW, and then SMB3 and
another old-school platformer will be there. I know so much of the site
has played those three games, but that doesn't mean everybody's going
to like them as much as FF2/4 or like platformers like they do RPGs. I
would take FF1 to advance tomorrow despite what happened in R2 -- it's
as favorable of a circumstance as FF2/4 could have asked for. --- BT > Harrich lol me |

FF4
is almost as weak, if not weaker, than Tetris. Just compare their
performances on Mega Man games. And then consider that in all
likelihood, Mega Man 2 > Mega Man 3, as today's match proves. --- http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=147 |

Go on and insist that FFIV is on a level with Tetris if you so desire! I think people are overrating the effect of LFF here- SMB3 and SMW are not FF1 and FF4- they're not going act as if they have 100% overlap. FF4 needs SMB3 to turn on the SFF here, or hope last round was a really really big fluke. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |
