GameFAQs Contests

I really like SMW in the Finals!

Feel my truth.

nd it's getting killed today by RBY.

Eh? It's like I said, RBY is getting killed by Melee. Maybe they're LFFing each other, but there's no way in hell RBY SFFs Melee. The SFF against Melee is Ocarina, that's fairly obvious, perhaps with some RBY LFF as well. But for RBY to get hurt this much by an absolutely lowly Melee, whose votes are going en masse to Ocarina to begin with, is fairly clear evidence that Melee hurts RBY by SFF a lot IMO.

I'd way for the day to run fully before making a judgment on that. Once all's said and done here I don't think RBY's going to be much more than maybe 1% lower on OoT than last round.

We have two predictable semifinals locked and ready, so unless Ocarina wants to make the finals interesting, tomorrow is all we've got left.

I can't see any possible way you look at today and that say that Melee comes out on top against SFF with RBY.

FF7/OOT/LTTP/FFX still the final?

Should be. RE4 and MGS4 don't have the strength to contend with FFX. Brawl might, and that's really the only shot to disrupt what looks like a very safe final four. Brawl's gotta do much better against Ocarina than Melee is doing now, though, and it's gotta hope that MGS4/RE4 makes it and hinders FFX.

I don't mean to insinuate RBY particularly SFF's SSBM -- I was meaning as far as their numbers go today, since RBY's 62-38'ing SSBM right now and isn't going to do all that much worse against LoZ:OoT this round despite having the #3 RPG on GameFAQs here, too. That's a lot to put specifically on LoZ:OoT to SFF SSBM that much harder than RBY is being hurt, and I don't think their past matches this contest justify that much. Pokemon's excelled in SFF/LFF-situations every match this contest, while we're at it, so it's not really fair to doubt it in a SFF-match against SSBM right now.

I hope Ocarina holds 40% with the ASV and SNV. No one was expecting it to stay competitive with FFVII after yesterday, so this is quite the surprise.

In SFF terms, Ocarina is doing (ever so slightly) better on Melee then FFVII on FFVI. That's important for LttP/FFX in the finals...

Yeah, this near-tripling on the formerly "non-SFFable" Melee is pretty damned impressive, although we're not sure how much of it is due to people abandoning Melee in the hopes of pushing Pokemon through. Regardless, even Pokemon is going to look worse against OoT this time, so Ocarina still wields the SFF hammer. Right now, I doubt that LttP will show much immunity to it. I'm not putting any stock into favorites polls from six years ago, and LttP might not even be worth 40% indirectly on OoT now, which makes picturing it SFF'D to under 30% if required a much easier preposition.

Popular at school, but still not as cool as FastFalcon05, Guru Champ!

LttP might not even be worth 40% indirectly on OoT now, which makes picturing it SFF'D to under 30% if required a much easier preposition.

It'll blow past that. OoT and FF7 should triple their siblings with absolute ease. I see them getting near quadrupling - my guess is something like 40/40/10/10. The siblings are just afterthoughts here.

In other news FFX has turned an 7499 vote defeat into what is now an 8347 vote lead. I'll conservatively estimate this match to finish with something like 30000 votes for FFX and 18000 for Smash.

Which would bring the all-time FFX vs. Melee tally to 40253+34662+30000=104915 and 41798+42161+18000=101959. That's 50.7% for Final Fantasy X!

FFX>SSBM confirmed. Undebatable. Set in stone. No shady factors or sketchy logic involved whatsoever.

I wouldn't even bother trying to rank those. Seven of them are Nintendo and the SFF can go any which way in any of those scenarios. Honestly, the most interesting match might be FFX vs. CT. I'd love to see that one, especially given yet another year of gray hairs for Crono and crew.

No, it doesn't. The strongest Nintendo game on this site can't SFF Pokemon, what makes you think a weaker Nintendo game will? Use common sense here.

Because RBY is doing way worse on OoT then it did last round. Pretty clear cut.

Well I wouldn't say "better", FF7 was getting higher percentages overnight. Though with more votes in the morning it might be getting just as many votes from it, I don't know.

Well, in terms of going from 1-6 and from 6-9, FFVII's overall percentage of votes brought in was higher from 6-9. Those two hours from 4-6 where FFVII was completely obliterating the poll make up the difference from 1-3, and it's the same thing for FFX here. Yeah, FFX brought in a higher percentage from 4-6, but it's bringing in a higher percentage from 6-9 than it did from 1-3, so it balances out.

And as far as saying that SSBM is LFFing RBY, I'm not so sure of that. I'd sooner say that this confirms MGS/FFVIII funny business than saying this is SSBM/RBY funny business. If it's MGS here right now, it could probably win.

Hey, when it comes to my favorite game, you better believe I got my facts straight!

Hmmm...OoT/FFVIII/SSBM/FFX...That's a doozy. I don't know how much RBY is contributing to the SFF here, but we've seen how FF games split. I still wanna say that FFX beats Melee, but it's definitely a lot closer.

Oh, and I gotta ask this, after looking at those numbers. FFVI vs. GoldenEye: Who you got? Remember that FFVI's number is probably inflated due to an SFF situation with LTTP. I'm not entirely sure what to do with GoldenEye though. Two entirely different numbers on FFVII, so I'm not sure which is more accurate.

Heck, from the looks of this, Mario RPG might could give FFVI a good fight.

Well, at this point, it's pretty obvious that CT overperformed on FFVII in the finals in 2004, which makes Division 16 overrated. Both LTTP and CT struggled to get 35% on FFVII. I suppose you could blame some of LTTP's struggle on Mario 64, but you could play the same blame game for FFVII/CT. Mario 64 did about the same both times, but it has potential LFF clouding it up both times. Hard to say how accurate it is.
---
"But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside."

Oh, and I'm guessing FFVII is probably the overall favorite to win this contest. It had nearly the same percentage getting to the semifinals that Ocarina of Time had getting to the quarterfinals. I'll be interested to see how high its percentage is here.
---
"But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside."
"I am lightning...the rain transformed."

SSBM is suffering so badly today due to LPF, not that I expect anyone in here to believe me.*

Not too impressed with FFX's performance though. Unless OoT is on par with FFVII in '04, this will probably look like a noticeable drop off since then. I always suspected this might happen, with Tidus and Auron in '05 showing that FFX had lost some fans, but I still thought FFX might have been able to do a little better in such and advantageous situation. Oh well, maybe Pokemon's leeching RPG support.


*While everyone still believes stuff like "OoT will hurt Pokemon's day vote against FFX" something that there has never been any evidence for.

Personally I think LttP/SM64/CT are a bit underrated, but since we won't have another games contest in about five years these stats will more or less be useless.

FFX has nearly 39% (probably closer to 37% by the time it's done) on OoT here. I don't know how much more you expected it to get, especially since OoT is SFFing SSBM hard here. I think by this point we have to accept that basically no game is going to get 40% on FFVII or OoT without very favorable circumstances. They're just that far ahead of the pack.
