Glancing at the Oracle, I didn't see anybody with FF7 above 38%, and those all seem to have had FF6 really low.

Pretty sure I have FFVII at 39% here.

In 2k4 we had that post-contest poll where 28% said FFVII really was the best game ever. If that were to still hold true,

I've said many times before, but that wouldn't be close to holding true. If you held a bunch of those polls on the same day for different games (randomly showing different users different games), then "I think this is the best game ever" results would probably sum up to over 200%, forget 100%. People will probably vote "yeah this is the best game" for any game they love without thinking much, even if it's not their real #1 game they'd vote above anything.

That said, it's just amazing how FF7 and Ocarina should be in the same range, despite Ocarina assuredly having a bit playrate edge of at least 10%. Just goes to show how *awesome* FF7 really is - a lot more people who played know that it's the best game ever! Ocarina needs more people to compete and it still can't beat FF7! :)

Hail FastFalcon, our new guru overlord!

Glancing at the Oracle, I didn't see anybody with FF7 above 38%, and those all seem to have had FF6 really low.

I didn't put FF6 low at all, but I have a decent prediction on FF7. Here's what I had for the Oracle and my Analysis Crew prediction:

Zelda: A Link to the Past - 28.41%
Final Fantasy III (VI) - 15.36%
Final Fantasy VII - 36.51%
Super Mario 64 - 19.72%

I overestimated Zelda, but FF6 is going to look pretty good here if it rises overnight. SM64 is going to drop like a rock overnight, making my prediction look a lot better.

All right, Mario 64 cut.

A Mario 3/World/64 semifinal would be awesome.

Pretty sure I have FFVII at 39% here.

I only glanced at the last couple pages. No doubt many people have it above that, but not the late predictors, whose consensus is typically more accurate than the overall consensus (and the overall consensus crushes most predictors to begin with). And I'm sure their consensus had FF7 higher than the overall consensus.

If anyone put FF7 low, it's because they were expecting something out of LTTP. LTTP obviously isn't as strong as many were expecting, so FF7 is going to do better.

From here to the end of the match in round 2, SM64 gained 1.91% on CT.
From here to the end of the match, LTTP lost 0.89% against FFVI.
LTTP currently has 51.51% on SM64.

So Chrono Trigger has like the worst day vote ever. Tell us something we didn't know :)

You were prescient about the last match though.

CT has the worst day vote ever? I don't think so, not anymore. Not unless you believe FFVII's day vote is so bad now that FFVI could go even with it.

To be fair, CT loses a lot of percentage overnight thanks to Europe, while FFVI holds steady or gains, but I've little doubt CT would beat FFVI easily at the actual day vote now.

I don't quite follow (sir).

You're probably right. I should say CT has the worst post-earlyish vote ever, excluding the second night vote.

CT went just about exactly even with FFVII in the ASV last round. It lost something like 0.10% relative to it.

So FF7 and FF6 don't seem to be LFFIng horrifically. And any LFF is probably coming almost solely at the expense of the weaker game.

Anyone want to speculate on what this means for a FF7/FFX/Ocarina/Nintendosomething final?

The obvious thing to think would be that FF7 shouldn't be hurt by FFX and so looks good, but I suppose one could theorize that FF7/FF6 LFF is less because of the 2D/3D thing, whereas FF7/FFX are both New Square.

The finals are still up in the air to me, though there's a real good shot FFX doesn't even make in, in which case FINAL FANTASY VII SMASH PUNY NINTENDO

I don't think it's by much over SMB3 over SMW, but it probably is the #3. It should look better compared to Mario 64 than it does now.

The day won't provide anything like a LoZ/SMB3 swing, especially since Mario 64 is newer than LttP, but this should be Mario's best time to swing votes. And it's losing.

LTTP was the presumptive #3 until proven otherwise once CT lost to SM64. Pretty reasonable, it was probably the game that had the highest probability of being #3. That didn't, however, mean it had a greater than 50% probability of actually being #3. If it holds on to win here though, it can very well still be #3. I think the SM64/LTTP/CT group is likely 3-5.

At this point, I doubt Old Square and New Square hurt each other at all.

Take Kefka, for example. He actually scored a higher percentage on Marcus Fenix in 2007 in Round 2, when Cloud was added into the poll. Granted, that was after replacing his awful "Lettuce" pic with a slightly less awful "Clown" pic, but if pics mean more than FF7/FF6 SFF, it is pretty safe to say that FF7/FF6 SFF was not very significant in the first place.

CT #5? I dunno about that.

we're going to have no idea thanks to Zelda getting 11:45'd, too. seeing LTTP vs. a 2d Mario game could have been something interesting. I don't think Zelda 1 would have hindered it much at al,.

SMB3 was a step below LTTP in 2004, and SMW was pretty far below it. I don't see why they'd be stronger than it now. So, if Mario 64 ends up beating or coming close to LTTP, I'm quite willing to put it a step above the other 2 Marios. Chrono Trigger put up 49% on SM64 with FFVII and Goldeneye....hard to tell how it goes 1v1, but it's probably pretty close to that.
---

No, Zelda 1 failing to advance yesterday killed it.
---
"But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside."
"I am lightning...the rain transformed."

LttP should manage a comfortable enough win for us to assume that no Mario game would beat it, which limits our other #3 prospects to Melee, Pokemon, and Brawl.

Actually, Zelda 1 advancing would have still killed it. More precisely, Mario World advancing killed it.
