Leon, how are you adjusting this? good luck.

This match? I'm trying to figure out how to adjust the last match. I don't even want to think about adjustments for this one. I might just set all three Mario games equal and be done with it.

I think we've got six or seven Nintendo games that are jumbled up so badly that only 1v1s can help us figure anything out. At this point, the best thing that could come out of this contest is FFVII vs. Ocarina right after it's all over.

Holy crap, double red and I'm still ranked on the leaderboard! 25th right now, and if it's FF7 > Lttp, OoT > FFX, FF7 > OoT, then I should get even higher! Here's hoping I can get a prize out of this.

As I said before, there are so many potentially awesome 1v1's in the wings I think we'll need a poll to decide which 1v1 will be our bonus match. I desperately want to see SM64/LttP, but I want a clear reading on our two juggernauts too. And seeing RBY fight, say, SMW could be interesting too.

Off the top of my head, the major gameplay problems:

-Campy metagame.
-L-canceling is removed, but they left in auto-canceling on a ton of moves.
-Removal of wavedashing is fine. Infinite air dodge is stupid. You should NOT get more than one air dodge.
-Campy.
-Broken projectiles, aka campy.
-Meta Knight.
-Campy.
-Terrible single player in every single way.
-Gimped "Break the Targets".
-Campy.
-Subspace Emissary is pretty much the stupidest goddamn single player anything I've ever played.
-Campy.
-Campy.
-A worse tournament community than Melee's (which shouldn't be humanly possible, but it's happened).
-Campy.
-Lack of hitstun.
-They tried fixing throws, but characters can STILL chain grab from 0 to death.
-Campy.
-Moves do entirely too much damage, especially projectiles.
-One button infinites.
-Campy.
-Super armor frames are more easily abuseable then even Potemkin Buster in Guilty Gear.
-Campy.
-Supposed to be more aerial-based, but there's less air space off the edges.
-Campy.
-Only one stage (Smashville) is truly balanced. If I'm in a good mood, I give credit to Battlefield. 2 balanced stages out of something like 50 levels. Good job, Nintendo.
-Campy.
-Campy.
-Snake.
-Campy.
-Campy.
-TERRIBLE online. An actual quote from a Brawl designer: "Smash fans have wanted online in Smash for a long time. We finally put it in, and it works really well with minimal lag and a lot of options". Nintendo employees are truly the type of people that smell their own farts.

Make that 1 of 13 still alive in Guru. Even better!

And I've catapulted up to #6 on the leaderboard again. It'll be nice to enjoy this before I get eliminated tomorrow. Too bad I have SMB3 advancing.

Speaking of which, I'm shocked World's beating it right now. I'd figure LttP would hurt it more. Talk about pouring salt on the wound!

Looks like Zelda got the board vote since it dropped quite a lot in percentage on that update. SMW and SMB3 look a lot better percentage wise.

RBY
LTTP
Mario 64
CT
SMW

SMB3
FFX
Melee
Brawl

MGS4
MGS
TP
RE4
FF8
KH
KH2

I'm going with this until I find a reason to drop or raise FFX/MGS4.

Our opinions are converging! I'd put MGS with FFX/Melee/Brawl though, and 3 with World as long as this ends close. Time for me to think about the rest of the top 20 now.....
