It's a close one, but this is an ugly performance here. All the advantage in the world, and it still won't match its 2004 percentage (it might not even be very close).

This **** is glorious. The Nintendo-domination long-thought dead is just as strong as ever. Though hatred flows through the hearts of many concerning modern Nintendo, many still hold on to their dear roots hard enough to still back Nintendo's glory days over anything and everything. Even Final Fantasy 7 will barely stand up against the pure will of Nintendo fanboys, as the dreams of innocence and youth ring through the hearts of every GameFAQs user, inspiring child-like glee and enthusiasm as they watch their beloved games crush the competition. Sure, Nintendo's not the same company it used to be, but it's that old image, that undying visage, that still defines gaming to this day, and there's nothing Sony, Microsoft, or any of these inferior third-party developers can do to fight against this.

Nintendo is king. Nintendo is ruler. Nintendo is God Almighty. Amen.

Another point: Final Fantasy VII is the luckiest game in this contest. Had CT been near 2004 levels, LttP could have easily toppled it next round. That was such a beautiful upset pick, too.

Long thought dead? Zelda won the series contest, there has been talk ever since that OoT>FFVII, and both Cloud and Sephiroth have embarrassed themselves in this 4way format. The only thing Square has now are its near elite characters. Squall, Auron, Sora, and Tifa are still a cut above the likes of Ganondorf, Zelda, Luigi, and Bowser, but Nintendo has always had everything else.

LTTP can still win that with CT there, or lose with it there. I'm not daring enough to think about it winning without CT there though!

And again, people are overreacting with regards to what this implies for the rest of the contest. FFVI isn't going to end up all that far below reasonable expectations.

To be fair, Sephiroth has only embarrassed himself when Cloud has been involved. At least he has an excuse.

Kingdom Hearts > FFVI easily. Every last thing since 2004 has hinted at this, and this contest is the perfect culmination. Kingdom Hearts would demolish anything from old Square sans CT (and even there, I wouldn't be surprised if it had a very respectable performance).

I don't think FF6 is embarrassing itself as much as people think. There is some HEAVY Super Nintendo overlap going on here; FF6 is undoubtedly getting hurt by LTTP and Super Metroid.

I know I know, no one here buys into the same era as much as the same series or company and etc etc etc. I still say it makes a lot of sense.

I buy it, but I think the big gap is between the SNES and the PS/N64 eras, with a smaller gap between the PS/N64 era and PS2/GC/XBX era. The NES/SNES gap is probably fairly insignificant.
---
Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests.

It's still lost a huge step. In 2004, it managed over 47%. Today, it won't come close to that despite two other Nintendo games (one of them ZELDA) in the poll. I took the VI>LttP upset pick thinking that LA would be here. The bracket did me one better and put both LA and Metroid here (I had Doom), and FF is still nowhere near capitalizing. It's... just bad. I'd take no fewer than five New Square games to outdo this performance.

I also wouldn't call Chrono Trigger dead just yet. It's held up to FF7 in the past, and asking Mario 64 not to get leeched by Goldeneye is just a horrible thing to ask. Mario is going to get leeched; this is not up for debate. The question is whether Goldeneye will affect Mario enough for Chrono Trigger to make up 3300 votes. I still say if you remove Yoshi's Island from that poll, Chrono Trigger beats Mario 64 for reasons no one wants to agree with me on :(

Is same-era-huge-overlap so unreasonable? The name "Mario" aside, Yoshi's Island is related to Chrono Trigger a lot closer than it is Mario 64. The wrench in all this of course is how Mario just beasted the hell out of yesterday's poll. It isn't playing around, and CT needs to bring its best tomorrow.

It can make sense, but not here. The only non-SNES game is Link's Awakening, and that's certainly not helping it any.

I really don't see how anyone can think FFVI is meeting their expectations here, unless they already thought it was trash. It's already dropped 3% from the 2k4 match, and that's before you give most of Link's Awakening's percentage to LttP. Not to mention Super Metroid.
---
FastFalcon and Solid Snake snapped my neck in the guru contest.

I figured that FFVI had probably dropped 5-6% relative to LTTP since 2004 (and would probably have taken FFVI pre-contest if I'd had 2 Nintendo games here, but with a lot of reservations). After this performance, I'd revise that estimate to 7-8%, maybe a tad more, but not really surprising. There should be a world of difference between CT and FFVI now, after CTDS. I don't think New Square has fared too much better though, over the past 5 years.

Yesterday's chart:

DSV | 32.93% | 14.22% | 31.88% | 20.97% | (9:00-14:30)
ASV | 32.95% | 14.64% | 33.05% | 19.36% | (14:30-22:00)
SNV | 34.14% | 13.17% | 31.82% | 20.88% | (22:00-24:00)

Mario 3 with a good Power Hour, but a dropoff into the night. Recovers a bit with the day and does really well with the second night vote, for whatever the reason. Mario World's trends were more even, and its best time was the ASV, the only time period it won over Mario 3. FFIV was pretty balanced overall as well, but it was better at night and worse during the day. Sonic 1's best time was the Euro-vote, as expected. Bad first hour and bad last hour though, for whatever the reason.

The best part about CT wining tomorrow, would be that there is absolutely no way that FF VII stands up to this behemouth with CT and FF VI in the poll. FF VII will end the contest with 2 out of 3 losses to Zelda games. Now that will be fun. By the way, is it just me, or is The Legend of Zelda about to win every round 4 match?

LoZ>Mario
ALttP>FF VII
OoT>FF X
TP>Something.

TP isn't winning next round unless Brawl completely bombs.

I don't think TP is that far off from Brawl, if it is weaker at all. If that is true, I think the fact that Snake is in both games might shift things just enough for TP to edge Brawl with MGS 4 in the poll. Still, TP is the underdog for sure, and by far the least likely to win But the other 3 matches, those will be fun


Also, if Zelda wins 3 days in a row, TP could easily be bandwagoned, especially since it will immediately follow OoT absolutely massacring it's 3 opponents.

Except TP will also need to beat the must-have game of this generation and a game it didn't exactly dominate. I mean, TP might get second, but I can't see it beating all three of those. If Brawl is close to TP, RE4 or MGS4 should be able to take advantage easily, if not both of them, and if Brawl is stronger, then TP is in deep trouble.

That makes no sense. The only way to judge that would be through Link's Awakening, and we can't do that for obvious reasons. Aside from LttP, these 3 games are SFFing eachother pretty evenly. I've said since the contest began that FF6 wouldn't be nearly as strong, I think most of us just expected these old games to follow conventional SFF, which they aren't.

after what mario did to the smash series how culd it's top games lose to a third tier FF game,now if it was VIII or X byebye mario but IV has always disapointed character wise and the game never stood out in best FF polls.
