Ooh, pic time!

Pic 1: ROFL. Chibi Terra? MAH BOI, that's a hilarious pic! More seriously though, FF7 gets both Sephiroth and Cloud in their recognizable forms while Mario pretty much eats the pic with 3D versions of him and Bowser that look really good. 6/10 IMO, would be lower if wee cd-i Link wasn't so damn hilarious.

Pic 2: Sigh. Yet ANOTHER horizontal pic. Those don't work for most games, and this is no exception. The faded Link in LttP looks like an octopus, the FF6 pic has insane color overlap that makes it godawful, you can't see jack in FF7's pic, and a penguin's belly isn't a fair representative for SM64. Gets a 2/10 from me, though bias against these sorts of pics might mean its more like 4/10 objectively.

Pic 3: Once again, MASSIVE pic advantage for SM64 and FF7, and celda-i stars in LttP's pic. And to top it off, some characters look distinctly "clipped". Still, pretty decent. 6/10.

Pic 3: Best pic, hands down. I spoke about it earlier, but I'll up its rating to 9/10. Excellent work here.

I have a hard time seeing Mario drop this unless Zelda zips by it with the night vote. then again, I don't think anybody actually cares about this match with e3 going on (I know I don't)

Yeah I figured LoZ might get the lead to 100 or so because there's simply not much votes left and we're heading into night time. It's definitely the underdog. Always has been except for maybe that one awesome hour a couple hours ago

The difference is Frog has never been in a match where he was not the best character.

SMB 3 is currently in a match that it is the third best game.

Zen Analyzes the Match Pics!

Dammit Bacon, KP already did 5 Pokemon pics!

http://www.gamefaqs.com/images/bge09/bge09-58-1.jpg

xfd chibi terra. before I go any further: Today's pics are all cluster****s. They're not bad or anything but they sure are crowded. Yeah this is a standard pic but I'm not a fan of a lot of the art work. That's not the fault of the Picsmith, though. I'm gonna give the advantage to FFVII because Mario looks PISSED at Link and will probably SFF or LFF him or something and xfd chibi terra

Overall: 7/10
Balanced?: Yes
Gimmicky?: Yes
Advantage: FFVII


http://www.gamefaqs.com/images/bge09/bge09-58-2.jpg

What the hell is going on in this pic. Transparent, unrendered logos overlayed over a random scene from the game. REALLY random. Like, the Penguin from SM64. Not even the penguin's face. His belly. What...? Is that a random barrel in the FFIII pic...? Come on, it's not hard to find a good screenshot for a bar pic.

And only like half of Link's face is showing. Just his eye and cap. Uhhhh... Can't give this one a good score because of how messy it is.

Overall: 5/10
Balanced?: I guess
Gimmicky?: No
Advantage: Penguin belly


http://www.gamefaqs.com/images/bge09/bge09-58-3.jpg

Another basic pic. I don't like the anti-aliasing around Mario and the logos look kinda sloppy. Other than that, a solid pic. Except Zelda is ugly but again not much a Picsmith can do about that.

Overall: 7/10
Balanced?: Yes
Gimmicky?: No
Advantage: Not Ugly Zelda


http://www.gamefaqs.com/images/bge09/bge09-58-4.jpg

Hey, I made this one! First time in a while I've gotten a pic and KP hasn't. I don't really care for this pic. I just made it because Bacon asked. I won't even rate it or anything, you can draw your own conclusions, but it's definitely balanced and not gimmicky. And I think I gave sexy purple Kefka the advantage because he is so sexy.


SUMMARY:

Best pic: Not counting mine, 3
Worst pic: 2
Most controversial: N/A
Advantage: Penguin belly
Disadvantage: Half of Link's face

Grr...needs more SMB3 spikes. Seeing SMB3 lose its lead so fast is just sad. On the other hand, it might have a clutch ready, but I doubt it. A wise man once said that a comeback is almost impossible in a SFF match, and I believe it.

Zelda only needs 6 votes an update to win this. Assuming these trends continue, it's in for an 'easy' win.

On tomorrow: I think SM64 is going to flip today's trends and win the day vote over LTTP. Not nearly as badly as Zelda 1 beat Mario 3 today, of course.

about the anti-aliasing, if i had the tolerance any higher it cut into mario's glove, that's why it ended up like that

also the backgrounds are supposed to be at 50% opacity, bacon messed up converting my pic from png to jpg

Man, this scoring system sucks. I have LoZ > SMB3, and that means I get eliminated from the guru is Zelda pulls this off, but stay alive if Mario 3 holds on. It's hard for me to cheer for either game......I guess we'll leave the final hour to Frog to decide then, and until then....

Kneel, Mario, before the KING OF SFF!
