Pokemon has a good chance. Definately the favorite right now.

creative, is there any way to break down the updater into like 15 minute timeframes or by the hour instead of just looking at it per 5 minutes?

It's harder to comeback where you are down 2000 votes than when you are down 82.

This update was the largest lead CT had before the ASV killed it. Sure it doesn't officially start until 3pm, but this next 30 minutes are important.

Not looking good though.

Pokemon is a better game than MGS, and should rightfully destroy it in about a half hour.

Actually, next round should be the second in a row where FFVII looks more impressive than OoT. FFX should really galvanize that Square/non-Nintendo support, Pokemon has no reason to collapse after not collapsing here, and it's hard to imagine Melee pulling in the distant fourth place.

Which Nintendo game gets left behind, though? Fans have to basically abandon Melee; hard to see this happening. And even then, FFX is in an excellent position. It's an even more "non-Nintendo" option than FFVI was.

I think FFVIII would give either of these games a fight 1v1. One game just had to get abandoned.

KamikazePotato | Posted 5/29/2009 12:09:14 PM | message detail
Yeah, but I still don't take FFX to beat FF8 by any sort of wide margin. For it to win, it's going to have to prove itself tomorrow. Melee is probably going to stand up to OoT almost as well (if not as well) as RBY is.

KamikazePotato | Posted 5/29/2009 12:11:19 PM | message detail
Not buying the whole Nintendo split thing after we saw FF4 completely fail to capitalize on 2 Mario games and 1 Sonic game in the poll. Especially since we've seen Pokemon and SSB resists SFF.

Unless FFX gets close to Melee tonight, I probably consider Melee the favorite.

Which is a really good sign for FFX. The more those two split, the better its chances.

You know, I think Pokemon RBY is the star of this contest. Every single match it's been in has been exciting and almost impossible to predict. It could even finish second next round against Melee/FFX!

I'm kinda siding with KP here. I don't see why FFX is suddenly way stronger than FF8 when we were debating the two a month ago.

UltimaterializerX | Posted 5/29/2009 12:15:39 PM | message detail
This format is so damn annoying. I wouldn't mind MGS losing to Pokemon 1v1 because they're both great games, but this isn't at all a legitimate loss. Take FF8 out, MGS wins. Take OOT out, Pokemon wins. This format is ****ing terrible and decides nothing.

I'm not buying RBY splitting to a good degree with...anything other than GS, really. Remember that Pokemon isn't just a Nintendo game. It transcended that. It came out when there wasn't a Nintendo handheld and a Sony handheld, there was just the Game Boy. It sold 30 million copies. Damn near everyone played it. It's going to affect FFX too.

FFX is much stronger then FF8.

With that said, the only games I see finishing in second next round is FFX or Pokemon. I can't see Melee doing anything with OoT there. Console Nintendo SFF is dangerous, especially with OoT in there.

We already knew Pokemon is stronger then MGS since round 1. The only way MGS would beat RBY in the following rounds would be using SFF/LFF (which it did last round). Don't really see the point in complaining about it now...

KamikazePotato | Posted 5/29/2009 12:19:09 PM | message detail
FFX is stronger than FF8, but by how much? RBY currently has 54.8% on FF8, and that's only going to look worse by the end of the match. Would you take FFX to 55-45 FF8 before SFF? Possible, yeah, but also debatable.

FFX is stronger but not by a whole lot. I don't want to rely on a split to push FFX on when, y'know, that's failed time and time again.

Why wouldn't you? FFX and FFVIII aren't tied at the hip, they never were. We've had every reason to think that FFX is the stronger game between the two, including having seen it in the last contest where it put up 49% on Melee. Round 1 looked better than FFVIII, and it did in round 2, too, despite KH getting close to it.
