MM might have been inflated by the end of the match rush. We could see it drop in a similar way to Uncharted 2 did against LoD.

If Pokemon doesn't outdo MM's percentage tonight it has no chance of beating MM in their match. Things are looking a lot more favorable for Zelda at this point, in my opinion.

So what % is G/S/C expected to get against Mario Kart Wii? I don't think Mario Kart Wii has much strength at all tbqh.

I also think Mario Kart Wii is fairly weak, given that it struggled with Phoenix Wright, a game which was doubled by Final Fantasy XII in the 2009 games contest. I doubt Final Fantasy XII could pull off that again, because it seems to be getting anti-voted in a 1v1 format. I would definitely take G/S/C over Final Fantasy XII, though. I'm thinking G/S/C scores between 65% and 70% on Mario Kart Wii.

Didn't get to see the last few hours. It sucks SotC won, but there isn't a series out there that deserves to lose that way more than MGS. Those guys have been the most blatant stuffers/rallyers out there in the past. Figures it would choke when the whole board wanted it to win, too.

Being honest? I trust the 4way more than I trust its battle against DQ8. CC is weaker, than that poll implied, but not as weak the 10way did.

Half-life is NOT very strong. And FFIX is midcard at best. It's actually a pretty legit poll, particularly if you don't buy into the SFF theory with FFIX, and I don't.

This is really impressive for Majora's Mask. Chrono Cross isn't fodder, and would certainly not lose 85-15 to Melee. It managed that much against Ocarina of Time with FFIX in the same poll dishing out SFF.

Not even close. It's going to fall below the percentage FF9 got before long, and let's not even pretend FF9 and Majora's Mask are on the same level.

GSC > this

I'm seriously leaning towards TTYD right now. But knowing that the contest is in my hands and not wanting to blow this will drive me crazy going into the TTYD and Halo matches. I still can't believe that pulling the trigger on this SotC upset paid off. But apparently the casuals all agreed with me. I guess that just makes me a slightly more knowledgeable, insanely lucky casual.

Why would FF9 SFF CC? Seriously. FF9 couldn't even SFF Persona... Why would FF9 SFF a series that FFVII can't even SFF? We've had plenty of evidence of FFVI failing to SFF CT

FFVII vs CT in all the games contests
Aeris vs Marle
Crono vs Vincent
Crono vs Auron

Never SFF. Ever.

Anyway, the way I see it, I now have two available Battle Challenge strategies.

1. Act like MGS2/Shadow of the Colossus never happened and pick the games I think will win. This should be enough to defeat Bacon. However, that's all.

2. Take practically every upset I can think of, no matter how insane, with the logic of, if they all happen I might still have a chance!

We're talking MM > RE4 tier level insane upsets.

I might go for option 2 out of a mix of frustration and hilarity.
