GameFAQs Contests

If its only 1000, RBY has to be the favorite

Agrees, even though Pokemon has to contend with OoT and Brawl with the ASV, it's still going to gain quite a bit with the mixture of FFX flat out dying during that time.

Awaiting Final Fantasy XIII

Guys, please take into consideration that:
1. This is the first time I've even clicked on any of these topics, let alone read any of them or cared about the contest as a whole, and the only reason I am right now is because, by some miracle, I'm just off the leaderboard near the final rounds, and want to see what others think about what's going to happen in them.
2. I'm saying as many negative things about FFX so I'll jinx it into winning, so I can maybe possibly, if a god exists, make the leaderboard for the first time in my life.

Judging by how separated FFVII and Ocarina seem to be from the rest of the pack, it's now clear that they can't lose in this format unless it's to each other. Not even if they have their two most draining FF/Zelda games in the poll with them. This is not shocking news, obviously, but that LttP>FFVII upset does seem silly now.

Wow, Brawl's doomed. It depends on how many of its votes Melee keeps from last round to be able to tell for sure, though.

I know we might seem kinda Elitist, but we're not used to people coming in here who don't have all the stats down pat already :P

Sorry if I sounded like a douche but I have been a lurker in this stats topic since 03(different account) and I only post once in a blue moon also. If i somehow offended you or sound even elitist, sorry I am.

Yeah, I do wonder how well Brawl's going to do on TP tomorrow. This match basically just confirms that Galaxy is just really, really weak. I don't expect Brawl to obliterate TP tomorrow. Still thinkin' Brawl > TP is a likely scenario tomorrow if MGS4/RE4 goes like MGS3/RE4.

Basically, whoever advances here today has a free pass to the finals with OoT, whether it's FFX or RBY. If FFX can't beat it here, MGS4 or RE4 sure ain't gonna do it next round.

"But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside."

What the hell happened to Melee.

Well, anyway... c'mon Pokemanz!

No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

Ah, I see. I was wondering why FFX was a lock for the finals already, but I thought Brawl > MGS4 was the favorite tomorrow, for some reason.

OoT > FFX makes a lot more sense with Brawl and TP in the mix.

but that LttP>FFVII upset does seem silly now.

And here right from the beginning of when the bracket was shown, I thought LttP was the clear-cut favorite to win first in LTTP vs. FFVI vs. FFVII vs. CT .. I didn't even think about it at all and was complete struck on LTTP winning, I seriously thought FFVII had 0% chance .. Boy, i feel stupid for doubting FFVII. <.<

Brawl > MGS4 probably still IS the favorite tomorrow, but after how badly MGS4 did last round, it won't beat FFX or RBY next round, regardless of who's there.

"But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside."

But wouldn't the fact that it just isn't 3 Nintendo games vs. FFX make its chances worse? I can't see how taking out Pokemon and Melee and putting in Brawl and something that isn't Nintendo would help its odds.

Also I'm not sure how much Brawl is gonna sff TP into the ground after seeing this match. It mgiht be more of a LFF situation then a total SFF beatdown

Well, if it's OoT/FFX/Brawl/MGS4, FFX wins because it's stronger than MGS4. FFX did better on Melee last round than MGS4 did on Brawl.

If it's OoT/RBY/Brawl/MGS4, RBY still wins because FFX is still stronger than MGS4 so if it beats FFX, it's beating MGS4.

That's how I see it.

Well, the only scenario where I might see FFVII or Ocarina losing to a third entrant is still with LttP (or the strongest Mario) in a match absolutely brimming with overlapped, 3D Final Fantasies. Especially if it was the bottom option and the poll read something like this:

Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy IX
Super Mario Bros. 3

Then I juuuuust might see the Nintendo powerhouse pulling it off, but even then, FFVII is a huge favorite and could probably SFF whatever it wanted whenever it needed.

Eh, unfortunately, I still don't see FFX surviving this round. That's just how I am; everything I want desperately to not happen always happens, so I know Pokemon will end up making a tremendous comeback after being down about 1400. Bank on it.

SSBM wasn't ever really in contention for this match. It's looked the least impressive in probably every round, SSB's the newest series represented, SSBB has over-shadowed SSBM ever since Solid Snake was announced, LoZ and Pokemon had more representation in SSBM than any other series, and it's the biggest Gamecube game fighting against the biggest Game Boy game and the biggest Nintendo 64 game.

Also, as a big side-note, there's a decent correlation that suggests multi-player games just don't hold up here like single-player games for the most part. SSBB just this year broke the trend of every GotY focusing on single-player, and the top five games of 2004 and The List were all single-player games. Also, since the N64 largely introduced multi-player and had some classics in this contest, we saw PD < MK64 < GE < SM64 < LoZ:OoT for sure, and I wonder if LoZ:MM could sneak into the #3 spot (and I bet SSB wouldn't beat LoZ:MM if it stayed in the bracket). For this site and perhaps in general, people just prefer single-player games.

That's not to take away from the SSB-games' successes here as the strongest multi-player force around; they certainly should be respected despite focusing on more than one player at a time, plus I know you can go head-to-head against people in Pokemon after you raise your own first or take turns in games like SMB3 and SMW. Just saying, look at Halo 1/2/3, CoD4, any MMO, any Blizzard game, any other fighting series, and any other "party" game. Compare the single-to-multi ratio with the games that made this bracket, then again with the games that escaped their divisions. Do the same with 2004's bracket.


The SSB-series is the big exception for multi-player popularity here, and even then, it could only do so well in a situation like this. Stretched out point on multi-VS-single aside, it had several other bad things against it that's kept it from ever being in contention today.

Make that R/B/Y instead of SMB3 or LttP and it's even more likely, I think. You could switch FFIX for FFVI that way too, and not have to worry about console overlap bringing it down at all.

All the stars in the sky are waiting for you.

FFX currently has over 62% on Melee. I can't believe Melee is being thrown to the fire like this for Pokemon.

Ah, you know it's funny, these people, they go to sleep. They think everything's fine, everything's good... They wake up the next day and they're on fire.

Pokemon's percentage actually hasn't budged that much. It's all Melee giving it up to FFX.

Makes me think that in the day it's mostly Melee that takes from FFX.

RBY went from 50% on MGS pre-ASV to 55% with the ASV. It's now at 47% on FFX. Between FFX's best hours coming up and it already having a better day vote than MGS, I don't see RBY shaving off a lot of votes in the day, if any at all. FFX is still stinking it up though. I expected a lot better.

Oh, I've got one. A Mexican, a Jew and a colored guy go into a bar. The bartender looks up to them and says: "Get the **** out of here" -- Gran Torino

Y eah I was thinking that depending on how the SFF played out, FFX could impress yet lose, or do poor yet win.

FFX was able to go even with RBY during the Power Hour, which makes things look bad for RBY. If I hadn't just read some posts by red sox, who's the best of us with trends, on how RBY could still come back I'd consider this match done.

God damn OoT is annihilating Melee.

And i still dissagree about BRawl>Melee. Brawl has NOT had tough competition yet and hasn't had another stronger Nintendo game in the poll. We'll see how Strong BRawl is next round. It will beat out TP but i can tell you OoT would SFF Brawl Even more.

I don't get how Pokemon can cut OoT yet FFX can't, even with its beastly night vote. Which isn't over, I guess... still, RBY had cut it by this point!

Also, sub-7% update for Melee. Beautiful, yet saddening.

Stay a while and breathe me in.

FFX has managed over 59% against Pokemon in the past 2 hours. That's technically a little better than it did against KH during the same hours. KH turned it into ~55% with the DSV and then ~49% with the ASV vote.

In order words, Pokemon is going to have to do quite a bit better than KH to win here. I imagine it has a better morning and DSV than KH though so that helps

V-O-T-E T-O-T-A-L S-T-A-T-S

Zelda: A Link to the Past kept about 66.21% of its votes from last round, about 53.52% from the round before that, and about 45.11% of its votes from the first round. Apparently Super Mario 64 hurts it more than Super Metroid and Link's Awakening combined, which...makes sense.

Final Fantasy VI kept about 47.42% of its votes from last round, about 42.83% of its votes from the round before that, and about 39.7% of its votes from the first round. Seems like Final Fantasy VII really laid a beating on it, which is sad seeing how there are many dissenters that like it more (like me, though both are top-notch titles).

Final Fantasy VII kept about 94.47% of its votes from last round, about 92.89% of its votes from the round before that, and about 74.24% of its votes from the first round. No amount of LFF has hurt it much all contest, and it's seeming like a lock to win. Can we retire it next time?

Super Mario 64 kept about 98.86% of its votes from last round, 64.64% of its votes from the round before, and about 54.97% of its votes from the first round. Well, seems like Zelda 3 hurt it only slightly more than GoldenEye.
