From: MyWorldIsCrono | #398 But but but but the contests are useless now! Zelda always wins! Why bother doing any more contests? Why won't GameFAQs realize that Zelda is dum? --- Brawl did well for me, but not enough to net me the Guru win over Krahenprophet, so kudos to him. |

I
see 3x as many "FF7 wins everything" comments than Zelda. Probably
because the fanbase is far more annoying, but it is still pretty weird. --- Kahenprophet lived up to his name. |

OoT's
domination has calmed down to about how badly it was beating FF7
yesterday. It may not end too far from yesterday's score after all --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

new games won this war of words! I'd still take LTTP over FFX though. new rule: when in doubt, side with Nintendo. okay, this isn't a new rule, but it needs to be loud and clear now. --- xyzzy OCARINA OF TIME I HATE YOU but Krakenprophet knows what's up |

From: KamikazePotato | #403 I think its also because FF7 being this popular is a Gamefaqs exclusive thing. FF7 would be nothing more then a mid tier game on most gaming sites if they ran a best game ever contest. But OoT would be strong everywhere --- http://www.xboxlc.com/cards/blue2/Albion%20Hero.jpg Krahenprophet is my little butterfly! |

I
think Majora's Mask is stronger than FF8. Too bad we did not get a good
read on Majora's Mask due to its poor bracket placement. --- My bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=147 Krahenprophet's superior bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=199 |

new rule: when in doubt, side with Nintendo. okay, this isn't a new rule, but it needs to be loud and clear now. Yep, you better believe I'm taking Nintendo in nearly any match this summer unless it's plain obvious that it can't win or Squall is involved.

From: transience | Posted: 6/9/2009 12:31:48 AM | #405 yea its strange even I myself took FF7 to win But I eventually realized I was dead wrong (come round of 16) I'm just surprised this entire board, especially most of the hot shot predictors/gurus, didn't see it until the finals. Not even the semis swayed them. What was it that didn't convince you guys when OOT rammed Brawl (which literally handed it's votes over to OOT next match) MGS4 and the 2nd strongest FF into the ground and almost got the same votes FF7 did vs competition all SFFing each other? --- *~Swift~* Proud NY sports fan |

Cause
people here tend to be bitter angry gamers who whine that "nintendo has
killed the industry" or some **** by releasing the Wii. Hey now, I personally hate the Wii because it sucks, and hasnt barely given me anything aside annoyance and anger. Though it did substitue for the comp nicely when I needed to release mine urges. --- Ah, you know it's funny, these people, they go to sleep. They think everything's fine, everything's good...

We're on pace to break the all time non-Block votals record, I think. I hope so, but the votals might fall back down to earth again. Even though this match is currently outdoing the 4-way final, it is possible that the votals could fall back down to earth again and not end up getting more than the 4-way final. Remember how the 2007 bonus match looked like it was getting way more votes than the 2007 final in the early part of the match? Well, the 2007 bonus match ended up getting less votes than the 2007 final (by like 30000), though the final was a 25 hour match. One example where you shouldn't use the votals from the first hour or so to predict the final votals of the match. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |

From: MyWorldIsCrono | Posted: 6/9/2009 12:32:24 AM | #407 both are pretty influential, although you're correct on OOT. Regardless games like FFX would probably be the frontrunners for the super powerful square Representative outside of this site. --- *~Swift~* Proud NY sports fan |

people
in here have a very high opinion of old games, that's why. ask them
what the tougher fourpack was in the semis and they'll tell you
LTTP/Mario World/Mario 3 by far. --- xyzzy OCARINA OF TIME I HATE YOU but Krakenprophet knows what's up |

The strongest game that got snubbed? Uh, after 128 games I don't know what else there is to be concerned with.

Remember
how we were saying that the games on OOT's half of the bracket were
probably overrated while the games on FFVII's half were underrated
thanks to LFF? Looks like we got the wrong conclusion out of a truth-
OOT was underrated, and FFVII was overrated. The games behind them were
fine. --- Krahenprophet he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

From: transience | Posted: 6/9/2009 12:35:26 AM | #416 It's hard to say that because vote patterns change if the pool is spread out. What I mean is, take the example from before where we mentioned how OOT scored a lower percent in it's 4 way with pokemon and mgs than it did the finals with two very powerful games, FF7 and LTTP. The reason it did was because the fanbases of Gamefaqs were all split there; three of the most popular series duking it out. It's different when it's all games from nearly the same fanbase: see mario world/mario 3/lttp. That was literally nintendo vs ff7 there... how could it not be seen. That match proved it, and the result almost solidified the notion that adding the 3 vs ff7 would give you a nearly viable result... --- *~Swift~* Proud NY sports fan |

At
least FFVII is making steady and fast gains here in the power hour
while it couldn't get going 'till much later yesterday. This probably
ends up pretty close to yesterday's results. --- Krahenprophet he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

looks like we were right that FFX/LTTP was as 'fair' as you could get. --- xyzzy OCARINA OF TIME I HATE YOU but Krakenprophet knows what's up |

Yeah, technically it's doing better aside from that ridiculous first 15 minutes. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
MetricTrout | Posted 6/8/2009 9:44:10 PM | message detail |
I
think Mario 3/World/64 and LttP would all break 40% on FF7 1-on-1. It
just so happens that FF7 had the second luckiest bracket placement,
after FFX. There was very little on the top half of the bracket that
could hurt FF7 significantly more than other games. I doubt FF6 was
even hurting FF7 that much. --- My bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=147 Krahenprophet's superior bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=199 |

Well, our vote pool is higher as well. I won't count FFVII out yet. But I'm highly skeptical at this point. --- The mighty KrakenProphet didn't even need the orders of Davy Jones to plunder my bracket's lowly existence. Hail the champion! |

It
hardly matters to FFVII and OOT where they are placed given how much
they are ahead of the rest as long as they don't get put up against
each other. And FFVII faced a potential nightmare FFVII/CT/FFVI/LTTP
match, so it didn't have exactly lucky bracket placement. Lucky that
SM64 beat CT, maybe, although it probably would have beaten LTTP anyway. --- Krahenprophet he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

It's
technically "doing better" because since the first 15 minutes OoT's
averaged only 55.45%. I think last round it was closer to 56% --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
HaRRicH | Posted 6/8/2009 9:46:56 PM | message detail |
I
encourage everyone to rally at least one person to vote in today's
match to help increase vote totals. By doing this, it only helps our
one-on-one > four-way arguments when the only one-on-one match we're
getting could outdo every other match in the previous four-way contest. --- KrahenProfit: a one-Guru wrecking crew. He savagely abused my bracket. |
LeonhartFour | Posted 6/8/2009 9:47:35 PM | message detail |
FFVII would have beaten LTTP anyway and with at least 60%. It doesn't turn around 65/35 by replacing Mario 64 with FFVI. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "Krahenprophet is lightning...the rain transformed." |

Does it count as a moral victory if FFVII ends up over 48%? --- Krahenprophet he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |
