Why can't everyone just admit that Mario is better than anyone else? Try to appreciate that without Mario we wouldn't have the video games of today and that Mario games are great and better than most games today. Yeah, I said it.

MWC is a highly entertaining poster! Of course, it helps that our tastes are pretty much identical, but....don't tell me you don't like hearing OOT would beat <insert top 10 game> even if LTTP, Zelda 1, TP, LA, MM, and WW were all in the poll!

CT-related entries has the biggest record of rallying at the end of matches and Crono was caught cheating before. They're the shadiest, period, as far as I'm concerned.

Match LVIII: LoZ: A Link to the Past vs. Final Fantasy III (VI) vs. Final Fantasy VII vs. Super Mario 64

Last Round:

LoZ: A Link to the Past – 38.38%
Final Fantasy III (VI) – 32.09%
Super Metroid – 16.50%
LoZ: Link’s Awakening – 13.03%

Final Fantasy VII – 41.25%
Super Mario 64 – 22.58%
Chrono Trigger – 21.58%
GoldenEye 007 – 14.59%

Analysis

After mourning my loss in the guru for about five seconds we’re off to the next match. With the results of this match coming in the third finalist is becoming more of a lock, all it needs to do is win this match. This match is another example of people building brackets with the expectations of LFF and it never came.

You could have made a stretched argument about Final Fantasy VII losing if Chrono Trigger were here, but with another Nintendo game Final Fantasy VII has first pretty much locked up at this point. Last round the game performed rather well and showed that it can still take on Ocarina of Time in the finals. Here it can use Link to the Past as a measuring stick to see how well it will do against Ocarina of Time.

Final Fantasy VI did worse last round than in 2004 despite two other Nintendo games being in the same poll. Final Fantasy VI will be affected maybe a bit more than Chrono Trigger, but like many Old/New Square encounters it will hold up rather nicely and it won’t end up like Link’s Awakening. Still unless Super Mario 64 decides to get SFF in this match I don’t think it will be able to avoid last.

Ever since Super Mario 64 defeated Chrono Trigger back in round 2 there has been a hype train that Super Mario 64 could defeat Link to the Past. I guess those people forgot that Chrono Trigger dropping in strength was expected or that Link to the Past was roughly equal to the stronger 2004 Chrono Trigger. The train derailed last round since Super Mario 64 only got 35% on Final Fantasy VII, but with GoldenEye 007 holding it back last round it should look a bit better here.

The only thing stopping Link to the Past from going to the finals is this match. If it can defeat a single Mario game here then it shouldn’t have any problems defeating the other two next round. However unlike Final Fantasy X/Pokemon RBY this won’t be a nail biter, rather it’ll be an easy second place.

I’d love it if Super Mario 64 took the win here, but Link to the Past is too strong and it would really be a shock to the contest if the upset happened now. With all the Nintendo domination Final Fantasy VII will be able to use that and storm the finals. The only game that can stop Final Fantasy VII’s run is oddly enough Final Fantasy X.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Final Fantasy VII > LoZ: A Link to the Past

charmander6000’s Prediction: Final Fantasy VII – 36.58%, LoZ: A Link to the Past – 24.72%, Super Mario 64 – 21.49%, Final Fantasy III (VI) – 17.21%

Zelda really did get an E3 announcement to win.

However, a new Super Mario game was also announced at E3. I figured that would cancel out the announcement of a new Zelda game.

Yes, but the announcement of Old Link was the clincher.

This was around the time Zelda was supposed to take the lead. Down 73.

18 updates to go. Zelda needs 4.06 per update.

"But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside."
"I am lightning...the rain transformed."

Mario should still have an advantage in the last hour, and therefore still a small advantage in this match.

At this rate, they'll be jostling for the lead with an hour or less to go. This could be epic, especially knowing the plumber.

(still can't ****ing believe it cut 1300+ against another Nintendo game)

Zelda is let's say not as liked everywhere else outside of US. LoZ defeated SMB in US last round. At least Canada loves Mario.
