From: red sox 777 | #392 I think RBY stays above 20%, but i don't think FFX flops, at least not hard enough to lose. I also don't buy Melee taking last by a good margin. I expect all 3 games to be in the low to mid 20s, with FFX being the highest of them by 1 or 2 percent. Friday: I expect Brawl to beat TP down and still take first. I'd call MGS4 the favorite for 2nd, but RE4 does have a shot. Saturday: I completely agree. --- Flash runs alongside Balefire watching marshmallows stop existing. - WarThaNemesis2 |

From: Chaotic Mind | #395 It's probably easier now than Mario 64 was in 1996 (new genre and all), but it's absolutely more challenging if you sit down and play both games today. Some of those stars are pretty dang tough. --- 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!!! |

From: PartOfYourWorld | #405 I've heard that the game basically spells out how to get each star for you though, and that the paths to the stars are fairly linear. SM64 only gave you one-line clues on where the stars were, and the levels were more like sandboxes with stars hidden throughout than linear paths. --- Flash runs alongside Balefire watching marshmallows stop existing. - WarThaNemesis2 |

Good
match, I'd be happy with either of these games winning. SM64 has
already validated CT, so I don't need it to actually beat LTTP, a game
I like more. On the other hand, I'd rather see FFVII vs. Mario than a
boring FFVII vs. Zelda vs. Mario vs. Mario match. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

I
predict RBY and FFX being close, with either both of them being neck to
neck or FFX being slightly ahead the entire time. Either way, I give
the edge to FFX. No clue how Melee will do. --- Wylvane's current main account. |

spectacular here) is in some hot water for the final. --- The Gamer In Me http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=158 |

From: Chaotic Mind | #408 Well, the Mario 64 stars would probably take longer to get, especially on a first run, but Galaxy features faster, more challenging platforming. There's really no "superior" one - it's just how you prefer your Mario. I love both games and can take one over the other on any given day. --- Meeks54's sig for a stupid pick that had no chance.

seems to be chipping at LttP at a rate of 11 or 12 votes per update.

accelerate the final hour. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

"The

accelerate the final hour." Mario just needs to tie the match and get a 1 vote lead. Afterwards, our good old buddies from the Cheat Squad will keep him safe. That's all he needs, and all I'm asking for. |

"Crono

plumber.....you shall be avenged!" You sure about that? This E3 looks like it might be the beginning of a new Boost. If that's the case, Mario might not only school everyone outside Clinkeroth, he might finally make the Finals in a fourway, or get to...wherever he can go if he is in the main bracket, probably the finals. |

"500ish votes in 3:30 doable?" More like 438 votes, at this point. If Mario takes the lead, the match is pretty much over. The Cheat Squad has a perfect record up 'til now. |

I'm bored, so let's play around with Xstats. Final Fantasy 7 (2004g) has a strength of 55.00 against Base Link. Final Fantasy X (2004g) has a strength of 40.55 against Base Link. FF7 wins with 63.14% of the vote Ocarina of Time (2004g) has a strength of 50.80 against Base Link. A) Mario 64 (2004g) has a strength of 38.59 against Base Link. OoT wins with 62.02% of the vote B) Super Mario World (2004g) has a strength of 37.66 against Base Link. OoT wins with 62.93% of the vote C) Mario 3 (2004g) has a strength of 43.89 against Base Link. OoT wins with 56.80% of the vote If we put these numbers together (and divide them by 2)... A) FF7: 31.57% FFX: 18.43% OoT: 31.01% Mario 64: 18.99% B) FF7: 31.57% FFX: 18.43% OoT: 31.47% SMW: 18.53% C) FF7: 31.57% FFX: 18.43% OoT: 28.40% SMB3: 21.60% Now, there is no way the mario games and FFX would score that high without some SFF added to them, but from the looks of it, Mario 64 or SMW advancing could possibly kill FF7's chances. --- The Gamer In Me http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=158 |

If
CT's 42% was a result of a Finals overperformance and its real strength
was what it got this year(around 35%) and LttP is supporting that by
pretty much getting the same thing, then if the match with Melee WASN'T
an overperformance, Melee=#3 and always has been! Here we go Melee --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

MAN,
so close to cutting the lead below 401! I'm just hoping LttP doesn't
pull out a stall afterwards if SM64 goes on a tear this half hour...or
maybe it already did in response to the previous hour, and now we're
back to SM64's time? |
red sox 777 | Posted 6/3/2009 4:54:50 PM | message detail |
Going through the topic... ...LttP and CT being basically equal? Whatever happened to the massive CT drop? o.O More like delusional people refusing to believe that CTDS would give it even a moderate boost! By the way, GoldenEye's round 2 performance seems to imply that it's not that far behind Mario 64 and CT. Acceptable? Yes. Goldeneye could even be a top 10 game for all we know. It did take #8 on the List, and the only other previous performance we have to go on really is OOT/GE, which tells us just about nothing. Division 32-64 was really underrated in 2004. If CT's 42% was a result of a Finals overperformance and its real strength was what it got this year(around 35%) and LttP is supporting that by pretty much getting the same thing, then if the match with Melee WASN'T an overperformance, Melee=#3 and always has been! Melee's match was an overperformance too. But yeah, it was probably number 3 for a good while before Brawl came out, the hype died, and Nintendo stopped making games aimed at gamers. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |
