RE4 is still well above 70%. Holy ****, we could be in for a freakin' awesome upset.

I thought the correction percent for Final Fantasy IX would've been higher than that. Anyways I'm really happy Persona 3 kept Final Fantasy IX below 70% and even managed to get it below 69% at the last hour. GTA is being obliterated. GTA:VC is looking so weak.

Man, I know it likely won't beat FFX, but it makes me so happy that a legitimately fantastic game like RE4 has broken in and is a top contender here. Gives me that slightest bit of hope for GameFAQs.

Really high prediction percentage in the top tiers again. The -5 and -6s get the match right. -15 and better stay above 90.

2 people fell off the top 50. Bryanishxc and floyd6124 did not have FF9 winning the match.

We'll see where this ends up. RE4 was pegged to get like 64% here based on pure stats (its own 2009 match against HL2, and HL2's match against GTAIII). That is assuming, of course, that GTAIII = Vice City. For all we know, III is the strongest GTA now. If this dips a lot, it'll be on the better end of normal. If it stays about 70%, the whole bracket minus Melee is on notice. RE4 may have the ability to beat anything else.

Vice City could just be the weakest. I mean, if you think that III is weaker than Vice City, then Silent Hill 2 is around LittleBigPlanet in strength. That seems off.

MAN, this is one of the most surprising results yet! If it stayed this away, that is. It will probably lose 4-5% by the end of this.

Oh, and note that Kingdom Hearts gets an expected 61.41% on Vice City.

That makes RE4 look really good. And it also makes HL2 look pretty poor (good for me! I've got MP over HL2), unless GTA3 is now the strongest in the series.

In all fairness, keep in mind that Metroid Prime lost to this piece of crap last contest, even if it had a Paper Mario chained to its leg. However, Half-Life 2's performance was still pretty crummy when all is said and done. The ball's in Prime's court now!

Paper Mario: TYD or Oblivion?

Oblivion should win handily, especially since Morrowind impressed against Melee.

In all fairness, keep in mind that Metroid Prime lost to this piece of crap last contest, even if it had a Paper Mario chained to its leg.

GTA probably benefits from the four-way format, though - but yeah, that's a good point. Also, Metroid Prime failed to double Devil May Cry 3, so maybe HL2 isn't totally dead yet.

...maybe.

The performances of the GTA games this contest are more than anything that happened last contest, I believe. The GTA games look to have clearly lost a step as a whole.

Thinking about it....that whole Paper Mario/MP/GTA:VC/KH1 match may have been fluky. Paper Mario has performed pretty well so far and Metroid Prime's been doing good enough so far. On the other hand, VC is blowing the big one here. Wonder if KH will follow suit.... :)
