From: transients | #349 I'd like another one so I could win some more big prize money! Don't think MGS4 is the strongest MGS game. Don't think it'll be as strong as it was in 2009, more PS3 ownership or not. --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |

going as high as #2 and others not having it in the top 10. --- xyzzy |

From: Heroic Common Sense | #353 Not in a Top Ten voting contest, right? FF7 got a quarter of the vote last time. I doubt even OoT can get that close, even now. --- Yoblazer: http://8board.webs.com/ariel.jpg Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

From: transients | #352 for instance, are people willing to put RBY at #3? I could see some people going as high as #2 and others not having it in the top 10. I'm not sure I'd feel so good about taking RBY against LttP/SM64, but I have no doubt it's Top 10, and I was part of the group trying to deny that in the first two or so rounds of that contest. I'd have to think about it some more, but I would imagine RBY's floor is like... 5th. I would never take it against FFVII though. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? SC2k10 (395/448) 98.5138th Percentile |

I saw an explosion of posts and thought the bracket was posted instead I got two kids throwing rocks at each other. Anyway, if Snake is stronger than Mario/Samus he'll win and if he isn't he'll lose.

Guys, don't make me post pictures of my college degree. Seriously, I will ****in' do it in a heartbeat if you don't both shut up, right now. There. MGS doesn't have to be much further ahead of MGS3/4 to beat FFX, which we agree is one of the three major contenders here; really, MGS has little more to do than be the favorite in the MGS-series if it wants to tangle with FFX. GS got 46.67% on MGS and 41.88% on RBY with LoZ:MM in the poll -- better than SSBM's 41.04% on RBY with LoZ:OoT in the poll. This contest should add Crystal to GS, which may make GSC a slightly stronger opponent to face...and, of course, there's HG/SS-fear. It should be legit assuming Pokemon-games can hold their own one-on-one...and after how they've done in four-ways and how Pokemon in this year's CB did, that's not really a legit fear anymore. It's very reasonably a top five game here with a shot at #2...REALLY doubt it could win the whole thing, but we don't know what to make of HG/SS yet.

Which is kinda wrong, there are a lot of smart jerks and dumb nice people. Niceness doesn't matter. There's a difference between acting smart and being smart.

Being

about diplomas and degrees. So I'll try to sidetrack this into
something else. ...Actually it's technically bringing it back to the main point. I'm reading the wikia to catchup with the other game contests, and...dear god Monkey Island managed to avoid losing something? That's amazing. How would Tales of Monkey Island compare to Secret? |

Well
you have FFX which got 45% against SSBM with KH in the poll, then even
if you believe SSBB is clearly above SSBM you have TP coming into the
picture as it got something like 46% on Brawl. I feel confident that
FFX will finish above MGS4, but then you have RE4 approaching along
with KH, KHII and MGS3 if you trust what happened to RE4 over the three
rounds. --- Calintares made a whole lot of geolocation x-stats Congrats to Dr. Football for winning the Guru. |

How
long did it take for SB to release the bracket after vote-ins last
year? I know vote-ins lasted six days and they started the night after
nominations closed, so we'll probably get the bracket sooner than
whatever the last contest did since we didn't have vote-ins..... --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg Nominate EPONA here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/55150177 |

tomorrow. --- Calintares made a whole lot of geolocation x-stats Congrats to Dr. Football for winning the Guru. |
