Man, Ocarina needs to ditch these weirdass games like Pokemon and Melee and reach something we all know it can SFF into nothingness. However, we have no idea whether or not LttP is one of those games. It probably ain't.

Only way 8-ways would work is if we included fictional characters from all forms of media! Best(?) of both worlds!

It wouldn't be all media, it would just be "appeared in a video game". Anybody who'd be worth a damn has appeared in a video game anyway.

So back to an earlier question, how many Pokemon should we rally? I'd like to see Jigglypuff and Charizard in there.


One. Charizard. And I don't think he should take priority over Cid Highwind or Darth Revan.

8-ways would be hilarious and we could have 512 characters/games, over 3/4's of which nobody would care about.

Pokemon could probably provide 151 or so characters above the fodder line. >_>

Why be competitive? There's almost no one left to rally. I mean, we can try for Seifer...again...but that still leaves 4 spots open. There's room.

Pokemon's The Giants!

Huge Giants fan here, and I take this to be big disrespect :)

You can compare Mr. "Can't throw in the wind even though I play at FREAKIN' GIANTS STADIUM" Eli to Pikachu all you want to though! (I guess the Pikachu>L-Block similarities actually work there)

A Worst.Game.Ever contest could be interesting.

FF7 wins easy as hell. Most hated game here.

I'm biased because I use her in Smash, but Jigglypuff could be worthwhile since it's been in every smash game, too.

We don't need to rally anyone. We pretty much know everyone's strength that hasn't made it yet. FF7 characters = strong. New characters = weak. Everything else = fodder to mid fodder.

But if you're looking for characters who haven't been in yet that could be above the fodder line, then Jecht probably qualifies. FFX characters are quasi-FFVII characters. A good number of them have decent strength.

Tomorrow is the battle for day vote king, and OoT's not invited!

Well it's day vote will be worse but just imagine how horrific MGS will do due to OoT's presence. It's been gone over tons of times, but trends don't really affect each other like that.

The only exception I can see is a super-LFF scenario, like last round with the Pokemons.

exactly. RBY's dropped .7% in 25 minutes.

MGS isn't exactly taking advantage though, so I'll call RBY the favourite. but it wouldn't surprise me one bit if MGS won.

Oh right you are. I would've ate that game up, and I never even played X-2, despite FFX being among my all-time favorites.

Hmm, I think I remember somebody in this topic saying something like this a few years ago. But I'd forgotten about the notion of how they should've done the prequel instead. What a waste.

I don't think the last name really hurts. It's not like any other Cids were that popular, and Highwind gives him Kain Highwind factor!

*listens to SSBM version of Pokemon main theme*

What the hey is happening? I said I wouldn't be surprised if Pokemon took 2nd, but, well, I'm speechless. My percentages seem quite close enough to what they are now, except that I have 2nd and 4th place reversed. And this reminds me of how I got mauled by Master and Crazy Hand yesterday while playing SSBM as Pikachu, on normal difficulty (yes, I got there and lost 5 lives fighting the hands! I'm not playing SSBM again for a long time, though I'm still voting for it).

Believe it or not, Final Fantasy VII has managed 10k more votes than the A Link to the Past, which had the highest votal of the round until yesterday. WTH? Super Mario 64 had 5k less votes than Mario World, Chrono Trigger about same, and GoldenEye was slightly worse than Super Metroid. Do you mean to say that Super Mario 64 was SFFing GoldenEye worse than Zelda 3 was doing to Super Metroid (which was also being held down by Zelda 4)?

Final Fantasy VII kept about 98.33% of its votes from last round, and about 78.58% of its votes from the round before.
GoldenEye kept about 70.54% of its votes from last round, and about 43.89% of its votes from the round before.
Super Mario 64 kept about 65.39% of its votes from last round, and about 55.61% of its votes from the round before.
Chrono Trigger kept about 67.19% of its votes from last round, and about 43.01% of its votes from the round before.

Wow, GoldenEye did a good job at resisting SFF, and whoa Final Fantasy VII! Seems like the two combatants of the "main" attraction both lost about the same amount of votes from last round, confirming that GoldenEye hurts Super Mario 64 just a tiny bit more than Final Fantasy VII hurts Chrono Trigger. These stats make it seem that no game was SFFd.
