FFX
has a pretty clear road to the finals now. I can't see anything
anything in the next match stopping it now that we know Smash Bros is
weak. --- Be a good little washing machine, now... o_0 |

FFX
donates percentage to OOT, RBY trying to stall. The odd thing is that
RBY is doing worse against OOT this round than last round. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

From: charmander6000 | #350 And we all know how well Earthbound and other "hardcore" games have been doing this year. I'm predicting that Brawl does significantly better than Melee next round. Brawl/MGS4 could be interesting with TP there. --- "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" - trancer1 |

anything in the next match stopping it now that we know Smash Bros is
weak. Melee would win in a fair fight and it was crazy to think Melee would resist SFF when Wind Waker LFF it badly in rounds 1 and 2 (just look at Diablo II) --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls BGE2 - Today's Match: LoZ: OoT > FFX Points: 323/448 |

Brawl's fanbase is even more casual and susceptible to SFF than Melee's. Melee at least has, you know, a hardcore fanbase. Melee's fanbase is no more hardcore than Brawl's. You just hear Melee's attacking Brawl's a lot more than the other way around. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

Melee is likely hurting it a bit. Hurting RBY? I thought we all thought OOT was the game doing the SFFing here. And OOT winning the board vote over RBY and SSBM like that is really weird...shades of FFVII winning the board vote over CT last round. --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

Another stall from RBY. Next round, LTTP might be defeated by SMW/SMB3 now that we saw it struggling against Mario 64. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but still not as cool as FastFalcon05, Guru Champ! |

so tomorrow probably determines the winner of the contest unless OOT can pull off some magic. (and I won't count it out) Pretty much. Eliminations are going to be crazy tomorrow, we have 49 gurus alive after today and I'd be surprised if more than 10 survive that match. We'll have a FFVII > OoT and a OoT > FFVII, two more with SMB3 in third, if MGS4 advances we'll have a few of those and people with crazy finals that involve FFX and LttP. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls BGE2 - Today's Match: LoZ: OoT > FFX Points: 323/448 |

RBY has now put 2 stalls together, so I don't want to call this one over yet.....probably wishful thinking, but who knows! --- Link he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

And OOT winning the board vote over RBY and SSBM like that is really
weird...shades of FFVII winning the board vote over CT last round. It's not a huge amount. RBY wasn't completely immune to OoT's presence. --- Shall I take you with me? To the place in this town where wishes come true... |
LeonhartFour | Posted 6/3/2009 9:29:20 PM | message detail |
Yeah,
to think that RBY was completely immune to OoT is probably a little
silly, I think. Same with Melee, it probably hurts RBY a little bit,
too. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

From: -LusterSoldier- | #362 For that to happen I think you'd have to see LttP winning by less than 55-45 against the original Legend of Zelda indirectly. Kind of hard to swallow if you ask me --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

Hopefully
MGS4 can sneak into the finals, its my only shot at winning. Though I
have TP winning tomorrow which I can't see happening. I'm kinda surprised so many near the top got yesterday wrong. I moved up from 135th to 93rd. I'm also the only person outside the top 50 and bottom 100 who isn't tied with anybody else. I have the only bracket at 322, hopefully I can get to the top 50 tomorrow but I highly doubt it. |

I
could actually buy Super Mario World being the strongest SNES game now
by a bit (#4 at best pre-contest, wow). But unless Mario 1 was super
critical to Zelda 1 getting close last round, Link to the Past takes
the semifinal. --- RPGuy netbook remix |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 6/3/2009 9:32:52 PM | message detail |
Excellent
result for Ocarina and FFX. Pokemon fans are trying their damnedest to
keep it in contention, but FFX will have it buried in an hour. That's
good for Ocarina, since it won't have to worry about any rear-view
battle to drag its own percentage down. The day vote also shouldn't be
too kind to Pokemon with Ocarina and Melee in there. Bold prediction: RBY pulls a Chief-life choke job if we ever revert to 1v1s book this. --- 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!!! |

Luster, that doesn't explain why RBY easily took the board vote over OOT last round. That post has to do with today's match, not last round's match.

it's
tough to feel too good about Pokemon when this is one of its best times
and it can't cut FFX. if it's still holding on at 1:30 we can talk
about it though. --- xyzzy http://penny-arcade.com/images/2009/20090603.jpg |
Flame_Hazard | Posted 6/3/2009 9:40:46 PM | message detail |
Oh. I was just wondering because people were saying that letting LttP through would hurt OoTs chances... Really dumb question inc: After semi finals, is it 4 games or 2 games against each other? I've been thinking it's just FF7 vs OoT in the final, but people saying LttP will hurt OoT's chances of winning in the end makes me think it could be like, FFX/VII and OoT/TP (which would be pretty epic to see imo). yes very dumb question.

SSBM, OoT. Who wins the ASV? Or rather, who loses the ASV? I have a

Melee's is one of the best around. RBY outdid OoT last round. So I guess OoT is the loser there. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

Yikes.
If Ocarina holds over 40%, we've suddenly got ourselves a tussle at the
top again. LttP/SM64 vs. RBY/Melee is pretty murky in terms of which is
stronger, but FFX absolutely takes VI. --- 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!!! |
