Retro
games especially popular ones would do better v Smash. Lets not forget
as much as Brawl dominated it did so with modern games. Galaxy would be
SFF'd by Brawl a lot, but i doubt BRawl would do anythig to MArio 64.
the N64 is a far more popular console than the Wii on here and that
paticular generation (N64-GB-PS) is the strongest here. --- http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l271/Mithos_2006/Ayaneff13.png |

Mario 64 would defeat KH with ease. It'd defeat FFX without much difficulty, for that matter. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

They should really do a Best games ever 1v1 withotu FFVII /OoT there would be at least 6-7 potential winners. If you take this decade then Smash's and FFX 90's LttP, SM64, Pokemon Red and Chrono Trigger Possibly MArio bros 3 and Mario world too from the 80's. Have OoT and FFVII has champion bracket or something. and no four ways. --- http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l271/Mithos_2006/SpringFR.png |

Logical course of action for next GotY is to have a ToC like in 2005 containing FF7, OoT, and whoever wins this contest. Take out divisional gaps and we'll have ourselves one hell of a contest. --- Wylvane Menji76 is a horrible user. |

From: red sox 777 | #402 Silly Chrono Trigger fanboy, thinking CT is still stronger than FFX! --- http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/2369/mythbattlers.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png |

Of course Chrono Trigger is stronger than FFX. ....It's probably pretty close though! I'd probably predict CT with 51-52% in that match. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

From: red sox 777 | #407 Why "of course?" I didn't see anything definitive that says CT is stronger than FFX. But then again, we didn't see a lot of definitive anything. Thanks for that, Bacon. --- Support Barret Wallace (Final Fantasy VII) for Character Battle IX! http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/3834/banner1barret.jpg |

Silly Chrono Trigger fanboy, thinking CT is still stronger than FFX! FFX and Super Mario 64 had comparable performances in the quarterfinals, despite SM64 being at a LFF disadvantage, and FFX being the only Square game in the poll. --- "Ahem! There is *sand* on my *boot*!"--Kefka Dr. Football beat me, Yesmar in the 2010 Guru Contest! |
LeonhartFour | Posted 11/3/2010 1:10:44 PM | message detail |
From: LOLContests | #409 LFF is exactly the reason why I don't put any stock into those polls as "definitive." FFVII was dealing with FFVI anyway. --- "Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!" "Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!" |

You
know, I was just wondering what the prediction percentage for this
match will be. Despite Halo 2 being an 11 seed, Halo and Master Chief
usually have ridiculously high prediction percentages. Is it possible
Halo 2 is the overall bracket favorite here? --- "Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!" "Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!" |
red sox 777 | Posted 11/3/2010 1:14:47 PM | message detail |
There's
nothing definitive about CT > FFX, I'll concede that. But SM64 is
stronger than CT, and that gives it enough of an edge to think it very
likely that it would beat FFX. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

It
never ceases to amaze me when people get bent out of shape from
preliminary X-stats. If you haven't learned how to take them with a
grain of salt by now, that's your fault! The more I think about it, Bioshock may have scored some sort of wonky SFF last match. Sci-fi SFF? I don't know, the games seem like they would appeal to a similar crowd. Maybe. --- DFF |

I still standby my analysis on FFX...it's one of those games that looks stronger than it actually is. --- http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l271/Mithos_2006/Ayaneff13.png |
LeonhartFour | Posted 11/3/2010 1:15:47 PM | message detail |
Oh,
I definitely wouldn't blame anyone for picking any of the upper tier
Nintendo games over FFX. That's all one big clustershot of games up
there at the top right below OoT and FFVII. --- Support Seifer Almasy (Final Fantasy VIII) for Character Battle IX! http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/9342/banner3seifer.jpg |

Halo is always favored in prediction percentages. Didn't more people pick Chief than Crono way back when? --- DFF |
LeonhartFour | Posted 11/3/2010 1:18:14 PM | message detail |
From: KamikazePotato | #416 It's hard to say about stuff that late in the contest, but I'd say Crono was probably the overall favorite in that division. He had 38.42% getting out of that division, so while it's possible Chief's was higher, it probably wasn't by much if it was. The problem was that Crono only had 61% getting out of a fourpack that featured Kefka, Zidane, and Vercetti.

I'd take FFX over CT and not think too much about it. it's obviously not a lock but there's no way I'm supporting old Square. --- xyzzy |
transients | Posted 11/3/2010 1:34:41 PM | message detail |
I mean, put it this way -- Crono vs. Auron, who wins? I guess there's KH2 thrown into that mix, but still. --- xyzzy |
LeonhartFour | Posted 11/3/2010 1:36:14 PM | message detail |
From: transients | #419 Well, Crono still got 54.50% right after KH2 on Auron! But of course, Crono hasn't been that strong since. I'd struggle to pick Auron there, but of course, I'd take Squall > Crono at the drop of a hat! --- Support Squirtle (Pokemon R/B/Y) for Character Battle IX! http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/8463/banner2squirtle.jpg |

Crono
vs. Auron? Crono winning that one seems a lot clearer than CT/FFX. He
won last time, he and Vincent were equal in 2008, and Squall beat Auron
comfortably. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |
TheKoolAidShoto | Posted 11/3/2010 1:36:41 PM | message detail |
From: transients | #419 *Opens mouth to say something, then closes immediately* I mean, I'd take Squall over Crono at this point. --- I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. |

I'd pick both over Crono with ease. --- xyzzy |

From: red sox 777 | #421 Would you take Squall > Vincent? --- http://i.imgur.com/CbfFb.jpg |
red sox 777 | Posted 11/3/2010 1:39:14 PM | message detail |
Yes,
I'd take Squall > Vincent, but I'd give Vincent close to a 50%
chance of winning. I'm working with Vincent and Squall as equals until
shown otherwise. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

From: NoDicePwn | #426 It's pretty much a push. Slight advantage to Halo 2, but certainly nothing decisive. From: red sox 777 | #425 That's fine, but that still puts Auron/Crono in that "It could still happen" range since Squall got less than 52% there. --- "Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!" "Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!" |
red sox 777 | Posted 11/3/2010 1:44:21 PM | message detail |
That's fine, but that still puts Auron/Crono in that "It could still happen" range since Squall got less than 52% there. These are characters about whom we have much more confidence in their strength than usual, though, so the gap is more meaningful than it appears. Besides, I think of Crono being above Vincent nowadays after CTDS and FFVII's recent fall. I don't think most people would disagree with me that the gap between Crono and Sephiroth is smaller now than it was in 2008. Auron > Crono could still happen, but I think it's pretty unlikely........much moreso than FFX > CT, which I'd be very worried about. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |
transients | Posted 11/3/2010 1:46:59 PM | message detail |
I'm
not even convinced CT could beat KH/KH2. (CT vs. RE4 would be tough for
me, for example, and I'd take TP with some confidence) I'd go with CT
there, but I dunno. CT had every reason to beat Mario 64 and blew it
twice. --- xyzzy |
transients | Posted 11/3/2010 1:48:35 PM | message detail |
as
an aside, this contest would have been much better if we just killed
FF7 and OOT. Brawl/Melee/FFX/GSC is not as enticing as
Brawl/Melee/FFX/FF8/Mario 4/LTTP/RBY (though the Nintendo dominance is
a problem) --- xyzzy |
red sox 777 | Posted 11/3/2010 1:48:36 PM | message detail |
I kind of want to see LTTP vs. FFX just so we can settle this Old vs. New debate, tranny! --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

I don't consider Melee old though! Heck, I'm not sure I'd consider Mario 64 old school, and it's almost 15 years old now! --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

yeah, we've been doing this for a while! will you back off if Brawl meets Melee? 'cause I don't think I would if Melee beats Brawl! I don't think Melee/Brawl really has anything to do with the Old/New debate. Both of them are New, and I think less of both of their strengths than most people. I like Melee a lot more than Brawl, but I'm not confident that it wins at all. I do think there's a good argument for Melee in that core fanbases never let their game/character down, but still wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see Brawl win. We need to see something from the top half of the last bracket face something from the bottom half. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

I was forced to dial down my expectations dramatically, yes. I went from calling for LTTP to get 58% on FFX to 53%. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |
LeonhartFour | Posted 11/3/2010 2:00:30 PM | message detail |
From: red sox 777 | #442 LTTP only got 51.81% on FFX! And OoT got more against FFVII one-on-one than it did in 4-ways, meaning that value is inflated, so it's even closer than that...! --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |

I'd claim victory based on the OOT vs. FF7 match if it didn't screw me out of prize money! we're getting to the point where 3d games are old. FF7 and OOT are pretty close to being 'old'. I'd say PS1 and N64 games are pretty retro now. --- xyzzy |

Though
I'd probably still pick LTTP with 55% if it came to it. It's Zelda vs.
FF, in a matchup Zelda would have always won even at the height of
Square power on this site. How could FF not get steamrolled? --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |
