chrono trigger in general would be considered a cult classic rpg, too.

Getting a high percentage against Golden Eye could easily just be attributed to the Mario + RPG together in one sentence. I doubt all of the people that voted for it played it (although the same could be said for Golden Eye).

Not on GameFAQs, which is what matters. Games that get 47% on the #3 N64 game aren't cult here.

Super Mario RPG won over the most important game of the 90's, it's not a cult game.

Or people played it because of Mario + RPG in one sentence (like I did).

Mario RPG is Nintendo plus Square. It's probably less obscure than Chrono Trigger.

In the games contest, the Square RPGs seem have achieved more or less an equality of day votes:

FFVI = CT = FFVII = FFVIII = FFIX = FFX

So how does everyone feel about Big Daddy vs. Ness? I think BD is the favorite, but Ness could make a match of it.

Ness always ruins my bracket (well, except for 2007 when I picked Alucard > Liquid, but I did so fully expecting Ness to ruin my bracket), so he'll probably win.

For the record, Soap would have to beat Geno with 55% or less (or Geno would have to beat Soap...!) for Ness to win. How do you feel about this possibility?

I might tale Geno to beat Soap, honestly. If I had known about Soap's awful haircut, I never would have picked him to even come close to Big Daddy. I had only played CoD4 (where he's a Gordon Freeman who you control and see the world through his eyes) and figured he would get a helmet pic or something.

I think I would take Soap > Geno. Its weird, I know I'd take Price > Geno in a heartbeat, but LOL at McMillian > Geno. I think Soap is in between those two.

I think BD might ride the wave of Bioshock 2 to victory, but my bracket has Ness and I sure hope he can pull it out.

Then again, my bracket has Crono > Missingno, so LOLme

How is it not? Its a SNES RPG that hasn't even gotten remakes or anything. If FFVI has an amazingly bad asv, i see no reason for geno to have any better since its too old for kids to have played.

SMRPG was never originally released in Europe, so its ASV is fairly good since its horrible European vote is extremely diluted.

Man, Geno has got to be the only character that gets SFF'd in a Nintendo vs. Square match. It's almost unfair to the integrity of the rivalry. Then again, Nintendo just picked up a win with a character they didn't even intend to create, so whatever, right?

With this the last Nintendo vs. Square match of round 1, the score stands at 4-4. On the docket for Round 2: Ike vs. Zidane, Bowser vs. Kefka, and Captain Falcon vs. Riku. Oddly enough, all three of these are 4-5 matchups in which the Nintendo representative is the 4-seed.

Speaking of 4-seeds, it seems that 4-13 is our version of 5-12. In the NCAA Tournament, the talk is always about the inevitable 12-over-5 upset. Well, all eight of our 5-seeds advanced, but 4-seeds were just 4-4 in round 1.

Since Squall is stronger, isn't an equal performance evidence of Bowser overperforming? We don't have a good read on 2008 Bowser but 2007 Bowser was clearly weaker than Squall:

That, and without Bowser in the match he got 41% on Akuma who just escaped a doubling or near escaping a doubling on Squall. That's nothing Phoenix Wright can say.

I think if Ness is SFFing Geno this much, think of what a guy in the same game would do.

I look forward to Big Daddy v. Ness next round, it's a "cute" little match. Ness is going in as the slight favorite but I have a feeling it will turn out to be one of the more interesting matches of Round 2.

Big Daddy is very much the favorite against Ness. This is all Geno sucking; he's getting SFFd by Ness, for crissakes.

I'll be a bit impressed with Big Daddy if he pulls it off like I said before, even if it is a temporary boost like Master Chief 07. Losing to Balthier is really terrible, and while Ness isn't exactly a pillar of strength, he did get close to Alucard in 07.

Yeah, like a Mario character will save the day. As red sox says, the Nintendo voters are like Republicans; they're very good at falling in line. They won't support Yoshi over this Pokemon that can conceivably trounce Sephiroth in the next round, and even if they do, Missingno has the joke voters and die-hard Pokemon fans to fall back on. He might beat Yoshi worse than Crono would have.
