Man, I don't even care which Mario wins this, both are amazing. JUST KEEP BEATING DOWN ZELDA! --- http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/3230/takerface.gif |

From: LeonhartFour | #443 my point is that SMW has a better chance to win then it did at this point last round. Do you deny that? --- http://www.xboxlc.com/cards/blue2/Albion%20Hero.jpg http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/110/akaitsuki02avi0001540295ns.jpg |

SMB3 had a triple digit lead at this point in time last match --- I will bury you. |
LeonhartFour | Posted 6/1/2009 9:22:20 PM | message detail |
Again,
this isn't last round. You can use the Power Hour all you want, but
Mario World has reason to do better in the Power Hour this round
compared to last anyway. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

This
proves Mario 3 is the strongest Mario game, easily. It's taking Mario
World's best effort and leeching from two other NES games to get Mario
3 to lose, and it's still fighting for first place. By the way, good call from the people thinking Zelda 1 had a chance today. That wasn't a terrible argument at all. --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´`·.,¸¸,.·´ "You are the king of derailing topics, by the way." -Lucid |

Heh, Mario World's lead on Zelda 1 is exactly the same as Mario 1's lead on Zelda 1 last round. I'd be surprised if Zelda 1 placed at this point, but it should end up looking pretty good. I don't know what to think between Mario 3 and Mario World, though it would be nice to get full points for one quarterfinal (LttP > FFVII, Ocarina > MGS, TP > RE4 whoops). --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |

From: LeonhartFour | #456 ...why? Last round it was thought to be fighting to advance over FF4, so wouldn't that make it do just as well last time? --- http://www.xboxlc.com/cards/blue2/Albion%20Hero.jpg http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/110/akaitsuki02avi0001540295ns.jpg |

Even
if World loses, they have their final rematch next round, and then
it'll be a winner-takes-all, no-holds-barred slugfest to determine
which Mario game is truly the better of the two. Watch SM64 beat them both. --- Wylvane's current main account. |

So, if Mario 3 wins anyway, can we forget this NES/SNES LFF stuff? I was never a supporter of that theory, but I did think that another Super Mario Bros. game in the poll would hurt SMB3 more, even if barely. I'd think YI would hurt SMW more, as well. --- Meeks54's sig for a stupid pick that had no chance. I even had it coming in first. MWC>Yo Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be.....LIKE MWC!!! |

Last round it was thought to be fighting to advance over FF4, so wouldn't that make it do just as well last time? Not really. Fighting with Mario 3 for Mario supremacy would be more important. You could tell just from the board last round. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

And
World beating SMB3 only makes the rivalry that much more awesome. It's
the Mario/Crono of this contest, except Crono isn't washed-up and it's
one of those life-long debates that fanboys have argued since the dawn
of time. There's always been this epic debate between whether SMB3 or
SMW is the best Mario game of all time, and it's awesome to see this
rivalry flourish on GameFAQs. Maybe it's a fanboy thing, but I'm really enjoying this. --- Wylvane's current main account. |

After
seeing SMB3/SMW last round and SMW leading SMB3 so far in the
early-going of this match, please, BT, I encourage your to elaborate. SMW needs SMB1 and to a lesser extent Zelda to hold SMB3 back to squeak out the win, and that's assuming it actually wins. We've seen stranger things happen, I don't see why vote trends can't be ever so slightly off and still result in a similar result. --- "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" - trancer1 |

SM64 to pull off the upset FF7/SM64/SMW/SMB3 let's do this I'd probably bet on Mario 64 there. That is this generation's Super Mario Bros. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

HaRRicH | Posted 6/1/2009 9:27:00 PM | message detail |
I'll
agree with Leon that I don't entirely trust SMW right now due to the
Power Hour and this being an all-Nintendo match, but it does look like
quite a difference between them thus far twenty minutes into the match.
We saw twenty minutes into Sunday's match that RE4 wasn't hanging tight
with LoZ:TP again, though that's an exaggerated case...but this isn't a
trend SMB3 wants to follow anyway. --- BT > Harrich lol me |

From: BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted: 6/2/2009 12:26:00 AM | #469 Turtle is right on the money here.

would be nice to see the three big Mario games duke it out once and for

I
hope Mario 64 beats LttP, just so we have SMB3/SMW in as fair a match
as possible with 4 ways. Hell, we might even get a nice 3-way race
going if SM64 manages to show up. --- "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" - trancer1 |

certainly doesn't prove either game is stronger than Mario 64. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

It's
the three Marios. Everybody's played at least one of these. We're
talking about three different Nintendo consoles here. I don't see FF7
breaking 50% unless Sony announces a remake at E3. If a remake is announced, well, I'd hate to be FF7's competition... --- Wylvane's current main account. |
