well, I will never trust lesser series' to beat Zelda and FF straight-up unless there's a good reason. FF9 and Wind Waker may be second tier but that doesn't mean it can't win. I always have that fear of brand name loyalty.

WW and FF9 aren't as weak as they seem to be, but they won't defy expectations either. They're certainly not going to threaten RE4 or MGS4, at any rate.

Put them against Fallout 3 or something instead.

I would never pick Fallout 3 or Mass Effect over FF9. maybe in a few years but not yet.

Also, would anyone be in favor of a remake of the very first GameFAQs contest in 2012? Same 64 characters, same bracket, same incredibly weak field.

Sure, the bracket would be incredibly easy to predict and there would be a huge influx of fodder, but hell. We'd have, uh... Mario vs Cloud 2?

I'd have no trouble picking Fallout 3 over FF9. Don't think Mass Effect would be in the same league as those two, though, even with ME2 around. Though I would pick ME2 over FF9 in a future games contest.

FF9 was a steaming turd of a game that doesn't belong anywhere near this contest.

That said, it will be a mid-tier game on the FF name alone, and would probably beat ME and Fallout pretty comfortably.

He's actually had some recent remakes on Steam and Xbox Live, so he might get a Guybrush-sized boost (i.e. from turbo-fodder to merely weak fodder).

I still believe that Ms. Pac-Man was SFF by Mega Man in 2002 and would perform better against a different opponent.

Actually that match may not be as bad as you think. Ms. Pac-Man is prefered over Pac-Man by a lot of people, think Pokemon RBY vs GSC.

Plus Pac-Man doesn't have the strength to break 90% in that match.

That's what I was thinking. He still has a lot to knock out for today, like the Game Data and Box Images. But other than that, the other stuff that he hasn't fully cleared yet shouldn't take that long.
