Seven vote cut. Not enough! C'mon, Mario, get going! Use a Starman or something! http://www.jonbu.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/mario64.png

You're just not praying enough! Pray harder!

Spam Something Awful, but use reverse psychology. Tell them to vote LttP, and they'll probably vote SM64 instead for spite.

Or one of the FF games. :/

i have a tip for you people if anyone still wants to rally

instead of making a topic "vote for X" on the title,title the topic something like "anyone likes mario here?" so that only mario fans will be interested and enter...a topic with "vote" in the title mnight attract neutral people who just like looking at polls.

Mario 64 didn't have Starmen, I don't think.

But the rallying's working guys, did you see how Mario 64 just got a 7 vote cut in that update? Don't give up. Quiters are losers. Are you a loser?

Reverse psychology is a great tactic for a place like SomethingAwful, LL, 4chan etc. Tell them "Vote for LTTP or I'll be pissed". I doubt they flock to FF just on principle. Theoretically, they *should* default to SM64.

No, but that should get him going. Of course, if he decides to go Metal Mario on LttP, victory is guaranteed. Let's hope he gets that cap and not the other two.

SM64 needs 12.375 votes per update to win.

Wow...close enough to be in contention, far enough off to not like SM64's chances too much. Either way, great show.

I should probably call a few friends of mine who also loved SM64.

Match LIX: LoZ: Ocarina of Time vs. Pokemon RBY vs. Super Smash Bros. Melee vs. Final Fantasy X

Last Round:

LoZ: Ocarina of Time – 38.70%
Pokemon RBY – 22.63%
Metal Gear Solid – 20.94%
Final Fantasy VIII – 17.72%

Super Smash Bros. Melee – 33.55%
Final Fantasy X – 27.58%
Kingdom Hearts – 22.48%
Diablo II: Lord of Destruction – 16.38%

Analysis

Well it seems like we have three of the finalists locked up at the moment, time to find the other one. The runner-up in this poll will have the greatest chance at also advancing next round and getting into the finals. Bandwagons have always been a tradition in four-ways, but we have yet to see one. Depending on the results here or the next match we may see one develop.

Once again Ocarina of Time is on the hot seat. Final Fantasy VII is performing rather well this round, sure it has SFF/LFF to work with, but getting such a high percent against quality opponents is impressive. Overall Ocarina of Time’s opponents are about the same strength as Final Fantasy VII’s so to still have a chance in the final the game is going to need to get something similar here.

Between the three games Super Smash Bros. Melee has the lowest chance at advancing. Wind Waker was able to cause Diablo II to go from 33% to 43% against Melee, sure they were on the same console, but it also tells us that Melee could be affected by Zelda games. On even ground Melee would only defeat Final Fantasy X by a slim margin, but with Ocarina of Time I don’t think Melee has a large enough buffer to keep Final Fantasy X from taking the upset.

Pokemon used its advantage of being a handheld game and mostly avoided SFF from Ocarina of Time last round. The game needed the ASV to pull away from MGS, though just defeating the game is pretty impressive in itself. It’s really pleasing to watch the transformation Pokemon has gone through since the beginning of contest history; the game is literally one win away from stepping on the finals. Sadly I think the Pokemon train stops here, it may have done well last round, but I think Final Fantasy X would have done better.

With only two other non-Nintendo games left in the bracket Final Fantasy X is looking like it could coast to the finals unopposed just as many thought at the beginning of the contest. Pokemon could pose a threat, but like I’ve already said Final Fantasy X would have probably done better in Pokemon’s position, minus any SFF. Still I wouldn’t say Final Fantasy X is a lock by any measure.

If I have to go in terms of favourites I would go Final Fantasy X, Pokemon then Melee. All three games have a chance so it should be interesting to watch, especially to see whether Pokemon or Melee gets the board vote. Like I’ve said second place in this match is very likely to go to the finals, making this match all the more important.

charmander6000’s Bracket: LoZ: Ocarina of Time > Final Fantasy X

charmander6000’s Prediction: LoZ: Ocarina of Time – 37.27%, Final Fantasy X – 22.46%, Pokemon RBY – 21.79%, Super Smash Bros. Melee – 18.48%

FFX is the favorite!

But OOT and RBY shall soon prove that it is overrated!

From what I've seen, it still is. RBY supporters are just vocal.

Team Square looks like it's going to come around 54% today. Last round, Team Square put up 63% or so. Hmm.....

CT > FF6
LttP > GE

Does that explain it for you?

The Gamer In Me

I have saved my vote and will now be using it on Mario 64.

I think LttP is better than Mario 64, but I'd like to see the matchup of 3 Mario games next round.

I also want to see OoT take the title.

I never said it was a strange result, just an interesting one!

Rank the total LFF damage from the following splits:

FFVII/CT
FFVII/FFVI
SM64/GE
SM64/LTTP

I'll go with FFVII/FFVI > SM64/GE > FFVII/CT > SM64/LTTP.

But since there's some SFF in these results, in terms of damage each game took in each round, I'll guess....

FFVI (R4) > GE (R3) >>> FFVII (R4) > FFVII (R3) = CT (R3) > SM64 (R3) = SM64 (R4) = LTTP (R4)

Probably all really close beyond FFVI and GE suffering the most damage by far.

So why is everyone so sure that lttp would hurt OOT more than what Mario 64 would in the finals?
