I'm
thinking/hoping SM64 is the strongest Mario-game, so that would make it
tougher for LoZ to advance next round, especially if SM64/SMW split
less than SMW/SMB3/SMB1. LoZ has also aged the worst out of next
round's options. Then again, LoZ will also be the only NES game in the
poll for its first time and the board may fight for LoZ to advance so
LoZ:OoT has a shot to beat FF7. I'm backing SM64 in that situation, but it's not like LoZ is dead in the water. It could reasonably get third place, but I don't like its chances to do any better in that situation (though that would be the best situation it can ask for). --- BT > Harrich lol me |

From the sound of it, it's a true GS sequel. Nothing about it being a remake was said. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

FFXI is a good cash cow, and they get monthly fees. It doesn't surprise me they'd make a new one to update it --- http://www.xboxlc.com/cards/blue2/Albion%20Hero.jpg http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/110/akaitsuki02avi0001540295ns.jpg |

I
suppose I shouldn't be saying this after today, but I would be shocked
if Zelda 1 advanced next round. It's only doing this because of being
stuck with three Mario games with a ton of overlap. Make it two with
less overlap, and it gets beaten pretty easily. --- http://thengamer.com/guru/ |

Zelda
1's not getting to the finals if it still loses to a Mario game today
despite 2 other Mario games being in the poll. And, at this point I
think Mario 64 really is the strongest Mario- we'll see soon enough. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

There's
no way in hell LoZ advances next round. It can't beat LttP obviously,
and if Mario 64 can actually beat LttP (pretty doubtful) it'll beat
LoZ, SMW or not. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

From: KamikazePotato | #408 From: red sox 777 | #409 Agree x2. It's a wonderful pipe dream for Ocarina, but the odds are practically impossible. I actually think LttP wouldn't have much trouble making the finals even if LoZ was there. It's clearly the #1 SNES game - Mario World is second fiddle. --- Meeks54's sig for a stupid pick that had no chance. I even had it coming in first.

Mario
64 loses to LttP, and there will be no good way to find out how it's
strength compared to World/3.(it's probably going to perform better
against FF7 because of better conditions no matter what happens, and
its performance relative to LttP will be impossible to judge the next
round with 3 Nintendo games in the mix). Although I guess if Mario 64 performs worse against FF7 than World does the next round despite its advantage I guess we can officially call it weaker --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

KamikazePotato | Posted 6/2/2009 1:51:12 PM | message detail |
I'm
very, very glad instant-updates are gone. There's no way I wouldn't be
able to stop myself from F5ing constantly for hours, and the 5-minute
break between updates lets us talk. --- http://thengamer.com/guru/ |

Instant updates made CT/LTTP, but other than that, I think I prefer 5-minute updates. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |
HaRRicH | Posted 6/2/2009 1:54:31 PM | message detail |
I
live five-minute updates the most -- it keeps the Power Hour quite
interesting with time to talk, adds supense to comebacks, and is still
quick enough for more impatient people. I would probably be cool with
ten-minute updates too as a happy compromise, but fifteen-minute
updates are just too long now and insta-updates are too frantic and can
be hard on the site for close matches. --- BT > Harrich lol me |

From: creativename | Posted: 6/2/2009 4:35:43 PM | #395 Final Fantasy XIV...another MMO? God why has Square's decision making sucked so bad the past few years. Glad I'm not alone on this.

From: KamikazePotato | #419 Yeah I totally agree. For clsoe matches I was too addicted doing that.

HaRRicH | Posted 6/2/2009 1:59:47 PM | message detail |
Really,
think of insta-updates for close matches like we are every night for
the first five minutes of every match...and listen to us nowadays with
every unsuspected update during those close match. Now take away the
five-minutes of rest and the small pool of new votes if you check more
than every five minutes, and this topic would go to hell. It would be cool to have the last five minutes of every match be insta-updates like the first five minutes though, to be fair! I just don't think I could take this topic's passion for cheating-accusations and updates all day without a break. --- BT > Harrich lol me |

Slowed down eh. I'd imagine that means it loses. Unless it manages to take the SNV by more than the ASV --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
HaRRicH | Posted 6/2/2009 2:30:16 PM | message detail |
It's
slowing down, but it's still pretty handily beating the necessary votes
per update and it should at least hold its own in the SNV. This is
shaping up to be the best match of the contest. --- BT > Harrich lol me |
red sox 777 | Posted 6/2/2009 2:32:21 PM | message detail |
Mario
3 did the best last round against World with the SNV, I think. There's
usually another big push starting around 6-6:30 with the ASV from the
West Coast, so we'll see if Zelda can make a move here- SMW made some
significant cuts the first hour of the ASV and couldn't do anything
with the latter parts of it last round. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

But
at that pace it wouldn't lead until around 9:30 to 10 PM. At that point
the vote totals would have started trickling down. And if it doesn't
win the night vote too it'll be all for naught --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

I
think LoZ will take the night-vote, but I don't think it'll be
decisively and you're right that there won't be as many votes cast
during that time. LoZ's in a tough-yet-still-possible position...you
know, for being in a very favorable match. --- BT > Harrich lol me |
