poor Wii Sports. The only game that actually utilized the wii mote gimmick correctly and well, even if it was just a tech demo for it. Course Nintendo still botched the Boxing one. --- My God, did that predict good! Dr_Football-l-l it no goin' and you tell me do things, I done runnin'... |

I'm
worried about GSC, too. Zelda fans have proven several times over that
they vote like complete drones. Majora's Mask could get a boost out of
nowhere. GSC needs to get at LEAST 80% against Advance Wars. --- "Sig rotating is far too time consuming, unless of course you are Ulti and control time." -RPGLord95 |

Let's argue with order (but only from games that are either GameCube/Wii-exclusive or were originally GameCube/Wii-exclusive): Resident Evil 4 Super Mario Galaxy 2 Super Mario Galaxy Metroid Prime Zelda: The Wind Waker Super Smash Bros. Brawl New Super Mario Bros. Wii Zelda: Twilight Princess Mario Kart Wii Super Smash Bros. Melee Pikmin 2 Eternal Darkness Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Metroid Prime 3 World of Goo Super Mario Sunshine Metroid Prime 2 Sin and Punishment: Star Successor Boom Blox: Bash Party Super Paper Mario Wii wins, but I suppose it's close, not to mention it has more of a quantity advantage here. --- Currently Playing: StarCraft, Zelda: Ocarina of Time |

Although it turned out to be an easy win for SotC, a number of people here were a bit worried about this match before the contest started. All the -2s survive again and we only lose a few -3s and -4s. The prediction percentage than falls pretty quickly as you go down the tiers. 4 people fell off the Top 50 today. runinman27, Reaper_Minion, King_Andre15, MoogleKupo141 did not have SotC beating The Sims. --- "Let me believe what you've always believed!

It's
kind of funny how people are worried about MM/GSC despite GSC being a
ridiculously huge statistical favorite to the point where it wouldn't
even be talked about if it were any other series. This is what Link does to people. --- DFF |

There's
probably more strength diversity among Zelda games than any other
series. OoT is on top. Things like Tingle's Rupee Land would be
squarely at the bottom. In between, you have top five contenders
(LttP), top 10-15 contenders (Twilight Princess), top 20-30 contenders
(Majora, Waker, Awakening), and various other games that would run the
gamut from midcarder to fodder. Zelda fans are the best. --- Yoblazer: http://8board.webs.com/ariel.jpg Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

From: KamikazePotato | #173 Not for me. I always thought MM was undervalued in 2009 and that GSC's Round 1 performance didn't match up with how well it resisted SFF in Round 2. Something struck me as really odd there, and I thought MM would have a legit shot at making the semis with proxy voting having very little to do with it. I told my brother to go with MM>GSC in his bracket. That might be the only place his bracket differs than mine, because that's the upset I felt most would be a huge game-breaker. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

**** yeah Majora's Mask, even if this game means nothing. As much as everybody on this board has anti-Zelda backlash, I'd put Majora's Mask over most of the games in this contest, including GSC.

From: KamikazePotato | #182 Can't explain it. It's a gut feeling that tells me Round 1 and Round 2 didn't jive. I practically threw that R2 result out of the equation, which made it much easier to consider the Majora's Mask upset. Let's just say this: GSC got 46.7% on MGS in Round 1. If Majora's Mask took Pokemon's place there, I think it could have matched that percentage. --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/ml36gl_th.gif Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

People
feel like Zelda fans are drones because we have had 8 Character
Contests. Link has won 6 of them. And at the margin he is winning them,
it probably stays like that for another 6 years with no reasonable end
in site. It boggles a lot of people's minds that Link fans wouldn't
just get bored of voting for Link or rally behind someone else or
something. As long as Link keeps winning, Zelda fans will be called drones. So you guys might as well get used to it! --- DFF |

I disagree there. Majora's Mask got less than 40% in the R2 match vs. MGS. It had two Pokemon games with it, but it had two Pokemon
games with it. Pokemon has a very weak overlap with other Nintendo
stuff, and them cannibalizing each other probably just made MM stand
out even more. I think MM could've gotten 42% against MGS at the
maximum. --- DFF |
