Pfft. I had the Tetris piece losing to Laharl and did well in spite of that! Aw yeah! Me and Lopen were in similar situations in 2007. We both had L-Block losing in the first round, and yet we both missed out on prize money because of silly stipulations. Whoo! And the thing is, if FFVII is strong enough to beat OoT, then I don't think OoT jumps out to a big lead in the hundreds of votes early on. No game has been able to do more than 6-7% within FFVII with the board vote, and FFVII has already jumped up 3-5% by the end of the Power Hour. --- "But you have been given freedom.

Also,
interesting to see Brawl has been stalling MGS4 for the last few hours
or so. MGS4 may end up closer to Brawl than FFX by the time this
thing's done. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

yeah
FFX is gonna get killed here. I think it hurts FF7 more than LTTP hurts
OOT though.. we've seen 2d/3d splits before such as CT/FF7 that are
very small. OOT/LTTP are probably that same way. --- xyzzy http://penny-arcade.com/images/2009/20090603.jpg |

we've seen 2d/3d splits before such as CT/FF7 that are very small. OOT/LTTP are probably that same way. There's a big difference between FFVII/CT and OoT/LTTP. Think more like FFVI/FFVII when it comes to OoT/LTTP. Being the same series means a lot regardless of the differences. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside."

Think more like FFVI/FFVII when it comes to OoT/LTTP I don't even think FF6 affected FF7. it did get beat a little worse, but given that LTTP was on the opposite side of that the previous round I don't think it was all that severe. --- xyzzy http://penny-arcade.com/images/2009/20090603.jpg |

I'm
going with FFX >= MGS > MGS4. Between nearly winning its division
in 2004, winning big in the GotC-poll, beating RBY, and coming from the
bigger series, I'll give FFX the edge...but MGS had a bad year in 2004
and never had a chance to even take second in its division, is
multi-platform, and likely could have beaten RBY if SSBM was also in
its match alongside LoZ:OoT like FFX had. That's a winnable match for
MGS. As for MGS4, I figure MGS at least matches whatever MGS4 finishes
with today, and I would expect MGS to win head-to-head against MGS4 as
well. That still makes MGS the strongest non-Nintendo/Square game in the bracket in my book, and MGS4 may be the second strongest one too depending on how Goldeneye looks at the end of the contest...both of which are pretty close to FFX. Quite impressive for this site, though it's a bit of a shame there's not more diversity here. --- BT > Harrich lol me |
LeonhartFour | Posted 6/7/2009 10:59:52 AM | message detail |
Either
MGS1 or MGS4 are the strongest non-Squintendo game on GameFAQs, which
shouldn't surprise anyone. The only other real contender for that spot
was GoldenEye. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

If FFVII is in the lead at the freeze, we're in for a boooooring match. Up to this point in the contest, no game has been able to lead FFVII at the freeze. If there's any game that's strong enough to do it, it's OoT. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but still not as cool as FastFalcon05, Guru Champ! |

From: LeonhartFour | #218 Isn't Goldeneye technically Nintendo since it was made by a Nintendo owned company, and published by Nintendo? I mean its the same as Smash...

I meant the other way around.. FF7 didn't seem handicapped. though I don't think it was THAT bad. I don't think FF6 would get more than 31% indirectly on FF7. how bad does FF7 beat Link's Awakening? --- xyzzy http://penny-arcade.com/images/2009/20090603.jpg |

OoT's struggling to get to that 40% mark, slowly but surely. FFX at 35.80% on OoT right now. What does red sox think about this performance, relative to LTTP, of course? --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

DK
and Star Fox were Nintendo before they were handled by separate
parties, and all the characters in Smash Bros. are Nintendo characters,
thus Nintendo. James Bond is in no way affiliated with Nintendo nor
exclusive to it, despite being made by Rare. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

I
give Rare credit for GE instead of Nintendo because the only real
reference to Nintendo at all is DK Mode, which Rare still had control
over at that time I believe. The SSB-series has used probably over a
hundred different Nintendo characters in one way or another. Besides,
Nintendo's never used a movie-license to make a game to my knowledge
nor tried a FPS at that time. GE's Nintendo in the way Mega Man's Nintendo. --- BT > Harrich lol me |

GE's Nintendo in the way Mega Man's Nintendo.

I
think a difference between Nintendo/Rare and Microsoft/Bungie is that
Nintendo already had a well-established flavor that GE went against
pretty heavily -- how many other Nintendo games even have blood?
Microsoft latched onto what Bungie was doing and is more known for
their accomplishments than anything in the gaming scene. That doesn't address the ownership-issues like you want answered though, and I don't know how they differ and compare enough to answer fairly there. I'll accept your comeback about the Mega Man comparison, at least. --- BT > Harrich lol me |
MyWorldIsCrono | Posted 6/7/2009 11:27:20 AM | message detail |
But
basically it jsut comes down to this for me; Any game published and
financially backed by a company is that companies game. A company
doesn't totally finance and market a game they don't own. Thats why to
me, Goldeneye is a nintendo game. I'm done arguing though --- http://www.xboxlc.com/cards/blue2/Albion%20Hero.jpg http://img2.gelbooru.com/images/356/484cc4215cae81cbd2ed258c3dbbfadc0b899894.gif |

Back in 2004, OoT had 46.18% on FFVII. Does OoT have a shot to improve on that performance tomorrow? OoT is already Stronger than it was 5 years ago. I've said this many times. Times have changed from 5 years ago, this site is far more Nintendo dominant than it was those years ago when it was Sqaure>Everything. Zelda beaitng FF is an example of this. Links increasing gap between him and cloud is also much bigger. Zelda is the most popular series on this site, so that alone tells you OoT is almost certainly going to get a higher % on FFVII. --- Playing: Star Ocean: TLH | Ninja Gaiden Black | Ar tonelico II Favourite game ever - Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time |
