We could also go for a new gimmick!

Best Female Villain Contest, with 4-ways and divide it by generations! And we'll make it a field of 128 again!

Zelda has very real (like 50%) chances of losing today.


I wouldn't say its that high. 20% at most. But I don't think FF7 is totally dead yet

Doubt OoT has a 50% chance of losing. Unless FF7 wins Europe, and takes a moderate lead.

For the Philippines, imagine FFVII with OoT's percentage, FFX with FFVII's, and OoT with FFX's.

Though I doubt LTTP and OOT even break 10% there.

What would we make the opposing team for maximum hilarity? Tanner/Solano?

I'd really like team battles at this point. I also think it's something Bacon would consider. Not only does it have unpredictability, it has more entrants in the field. Yet it preserves the 1v1 style we love so much.

We should petition for it.

FFVII has a 0% chance of winning right now. Zelda rapes the day. If OoT had like a 500 vote lead it would be different. It's over. Hence why we're all miserable.

Link/Cloud would be dumb.

That being said we wouldn't necessarily need to pair them with fodder for balancing purposes, either. Personally I'd take Link/Ganondorf to be a weaker team than Link/CATS. Throw Cloud with Aeris and you're golden.

I wouldn't mind team battles. There's no way Bacon would throw 256 entrants in a contest, so it would be a pretty safe way to get us 1v1s. The team making process (likely Bacon and an hour with random.org) would likely cause one hell of a stir, though.

LeonhartFour | Posted 6/8/2009 12:05:20 AM | message detail
I don't even know how a team battle would work. Basically, I figure it'd just be a favorite character contest so basically we'd just figure out how large of a percentage of GameFAQs actually has Cloud or Link as their favorite character. Sephiroth would get SFF'd with Cloud there, so he's out.

Snake and, uhhh...Sonic?

I was just about to post Link/CATS. For some reason though, I see Sephiroth/CATS as being the most comical.

Sephy is a bad idea. Also the nintendo linked NN is a bad idea. Something like Snake/Dante or Snake/MC would be a pretty solid choice. Maybe Snake/Crono.

OOT by the hour:

1:00 | 55.70%
2:00 | 53.38%
3:00 | 49.25%

FFVII going far ahead of schedule with the cuts that hour.

3 AM Projections:

Based on FF/Zelda, OOT is projected to win with 51.13%.
Based on Link/Cloud 2006, OOT is projected to win with 51.14%.
Based on Link/Cloud 2008, OOT is projected to win with 50.34%.
Based on Crono/Vincent 2007, FFVII is projected to win with 52.91%.

Projections looking nicer to FFVII now. One of the Link/Cloud projections will probably read an FFVII victory within the next hour.

Put that up against Phoenix Wright/Master Hand

Either way, what does the board do there?

See, I don't think it'd work like that. A lot of people say this, but is that really how anyone would vote? Surely I'm not the only one that would vote for say... Master Chief/Lloyd Irving over Dante/Link despite liking Dante more than the individual members of the other team.

It's not easy to go even with Chrono Trigger in the power hour. I mean, most Nintendo characters/games typically finish at or above their 1 AM marks, SSBM tends to finish a tad below, but CT always finishes well below its 1 AM mark.

Actually, just thinking about how a tag-team battle would work is irritating me. Another idea.

Honestly, I'd like it if we could somehow work it out where the first round is 4-ways and every round after that is 1-on-1. Sure, it'd probably make the second round boring as all get out, but hey.

You know, after seeing this, I don't really think 1v1 is the solution anymore. I look at this bracket, and I think "what if this were 1v1, would it be any more satisfying?"

I don't think it would be. Granted... filthy pairings like SMB3 and SMW would linger in the bracket for less time and wouldn't trickle down to mess up a ton of matches, but other than that... I'd really just like to see a new format at this point.
