So now I'm in the top 100. The sad thing is, I just bought a huge haul of games and have nothing I want for a long time. If by some miracle I win, I'd probably use the prize to get KP a Playstation 3, then get myself Skies of Arcadia Legends and some other random game with the leftovers. --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´`·.,¸¸,.·´ "You are the king of derailing topics, by the way." -Lucid |

I figure that match was like Final Fantasy vs. Mario for Square fans or something, so they voted FF out of principle. Yup I even questioned the ability of FF to stand up against real competition. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls BGE2 - Today's Match: SMB3 > SMW Points: 179/272 |

It
should be close. LTTP is close to Mario 3, and FFVI is far above FFIV.
The 2 Nintendo games in the poll probably hurt LTTP a little more than
the Mario games are hurting each other today. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

From: UltimaterializerX | #155 The only other option strong enough is LA, but it should be killed by LTTP --- http://www.xboxlc.com/cards/blue2/Albion%20Hero.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v212/gelupeh/axel_post_top2.png |

If
you think LA miraculously doesn't get SFF'd by LTTP or you think LTTP
can straight up double FFVI or worse, then yeah, it's possible. Well, it's possible LTTP gets 2nd, I guess. --- http://www.court-records.net/animation/phoenix-superobjection.gif |

Prediction
percentages not great for last match, actually puts me tied for 19th on
the bracket leaderboard with 208. But my bracket has FFIV>LoZ in the
quarterfinals so that's done. SMW should go down but FFIV is going to
look pretty bad :( Makes me sad. The awfulness of the casuals at predicting this bracket continues to amaze though. So easy to have a bracket high in the percentiles right now. SMB3>LoZ looks good for the quarters. Which means SMB3 looks good for the finals, because both LttP and LoZ should be in the semis match. I think SMB3 is worse for OoT than LttP, because SMB3 will hold up a lot better than LttP. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

What would FFVI be doing in FFIV's place here? It'd probably be in third now, but would finish in 2nd, very outside shot at first. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

Well,
getting the full points for yesterday's match increased my percentile
to around the 94 mark to 99.0782. This puts me in the top 350, although
I'm going to get half points for today if SMB3 holds onto first place. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but still not as cool as FastFalcon05, Guru Champ! |

I am the great Yoblazer I can start with whatever I want. Anyway, while I'll fully admit to having a carton of eggs all over my face here, this whole contest has painted an extremely bland picture of what our top games look like. There is absolutely no guarantee that any non-Nintendo game outside of FFVII is even in the top ten. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/8zkzm1.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

It'd probably be in third now, but would finish in 2nd, very outside shot at first. I don't know if FFVI is that much stronger than FFIV. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
red sox 777 | Posted 5/25/2009 9:28:57 PM | message detail |
Actually,
scratch the "very outside" part. It'd have a small but decent chance at
first here. If it didn't, that would imply that FFVI's chances tomorrow
are very very low. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

It's
not like FFIV doing something today would have done anything to the top
ten, that would have been solely due to that "Triple. Nintendo. LFF." I
keep hearing so much about and not seeing. Been pretty obvious since Mario 64/CT that the top ten (fifteen?) is a Nintendofest. --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |

fighting back? Doesn't bother me, just puts me even with the idiots who
had FF4 getting first. Still more than the favorable SMB3 > SMW
pick, and I should still make the leaderboard regardless. --- Wylvane's current main account. |

FFVII OoT LTTP Mario 3 Mario World Mario 64 Melee Chrono Trigger Those are essentially guaranteed top ten games (although for some reason, despite Mario World doing so well right now, I hesitate to call it a guaranteed top ten. Maybe that 40% on CT is still putting me off). 6 out of 8 for Nintendo there. Then there's RBY, Brawl, FFX, FFVI, FFVIII, and MGS fighting for those last three spots, in my mind. --- http://www.court-records.net/animation/phoenix-superobjection.gif |

What was that, SMW? Just when SMB3 had started pulling away! You know, the scary thing is.....SMB3 gained less than 1% against CT with the day vote back in 2004, while Mario World gained about 4%. I don't trust those trends though- something tells me Mario World's no longer so far ahead of Mario 3 with the day. And the night vote should put this away either way. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

Well, SMB3 is leading, but Mario World isn't letting him get a comfortable lead either. Guess people overestimated FF4. Now if only we could get a SMB, SMB3, SMW and SM64 match that would finally answer that one question many of us have, which of those Mario games is the best one? --- "If history is to change, let it change.
