Sweet, made the leaderboard for the second contest in a row. Very surprised I made it on this contest, as this was the one contest I had absolutely no confidence in!

Now to see how long I last!

30.50% / 29.40%
29.44% / 23.75%

Pretty good for SMW, all considered.

...what, I'm still on the leaderboard after picking FF4 yesterday? That's pretty pathetic.

You're probably right. Even Mario challenging FFVII tomorrow won't surprise anyone.

Mario 64 could well get surprisingly close to FF7. The M64/GE overlap should be minimal if it exists (and if it does exist, it should be in Mario 64's favor), while the RPG overlap should be significant. This is a very good spot for Mario 64 to look awesome against FF7.

Mario 3 won fairly easily in North America. It was Europe where Super Mario World beat Mario 3 pretty badly (with Sonic 1 taking first in the UK, of course).

The M64/GE overlap should be minimal if it exists (and if it does exist, it should be in Mario 64's favor)

The only way it favors Mario 64 is if it steals from GoldenEye without getting its own votes stolen. Otherwise, I'd hardly call that favorable.

By "favor", I didn't mean it magically makes M64 stronger, I meant that M64 wouldn't get hurt much while GE would. That's if it exists.

(with Sonic 1 taking first in the UK, of course).

The UK is the only place in Europe where Sonic actually does well at (and probably Ireland too). It did bad everywhere at, or at least for the countries I can view results for. Though I do wish more countries were added as secret options so we can view results for them.

The N64 is very different from the SNES or NES. I've always thought it had a lot more same console LFF.

The best part is, LttP + LA is close to 50%.

The fanbase only hates new-school Nintendo. Old-school is still the ****ing best, and I'm glad GameFAQs has the good taste to realize that! Too bad my bracket relies on new-school Nintendo!

Was that supposed to be to me? I've always been a proponent of N64 overlap. It's probably the worst of its kind. Those games literally came out one at a time. During the first 3 years of the N64 games, the big games were few and far between. They were played by everybody. There's no way that SM64 and Goldeneye don't overlap. If creative was saying that the overlap probably won't swing the match in a certain way then I do agree with that.

I really hope that Lakers don't win the title. They'd have a big edge over the Magic with the home court.

This group of lackadaisical dopes would be about as undeserving champs as FF7 given a FF7 vs. Nintendo matchup.

Crono, you're the only one! As you've always been! The single exception to the contest law that reads, "everything from Square before FFVII is weak."

This is it, Crono. This may be your last chance. Die now and relinquish your duel with Mario forever, fading into history, or live and fight your nemesis! Fate is no match for BELIEVE!

Super Metroid would be wiping FFVI 1v1. What was once seen as the SNES's clear #3 might not be in the Top 6.

Let's go ahead and do one just for old time's sake...

VII
X
VIII
IX
VI
XII
Tactics
IV
I

Still not sure about XII and Tactics, but maaaaaan, Old Square. Chrono Trigger might finish closer to Goldeneye even if SM64 buries it.

Opposite for me. I was doing great until the last 2 divisions of round 1.

They obviously overlap in terms of playrate but I doubt they'll LFF. Nintendo LFF has been rare, and I wouldn't have expected M64 and Goldeneye to LFF even pre-contest. Extremely different games. After SMW/SMB3 didn't LFF I'd be surprised if M64/GE did.

Everything we've seen so far indicates that with older games, there is overlap just for the sake of there being overlap. There's a reason why FF4 and now FF6 are looking like crap despite being given what we thought was a free pass to the later rounds.

People are overreacting with this "Nintendo LFF is insignificant" thing. SMB3 and SMW are not your typical Nintendo games, just like FF1 and FF4 are not your typical Square games.
