An old-timey Games Contest probably winds up with RBY getting upset in the first round by Metroid 1 or something.

No, GameFAQs is past helping now. I recommend we close the site and start over.

From: -LusterSoldier- | #046
As I expected, the Melee/Brawl match got terrible support from Europe. The vote split by continent looked like this:

North America - 74.05%
South America - 2.56%
Europe - 16.29%
Asia - 3.42%
Oceania - 3.56%
Africa - 0.10%

It didn't quite break the record for lowest level of European support in a night match. That record still stands at 16.01%, which happened for the Luigi/Meta Knight match back in the last character battle.


That's... actually a really cool stat. Legit thanks for that, Luster.

Max score: 208
Omitted scores got it wrong.

This match knocked off the last -14 bracket. The new top score is 19 points off perfect. The higher tiers did slightly better than the lower tiers and stuck around the mid 30 and low 40s while the middle tiers were in the mid 20s. It was a tough match to call regardless of if you had a lot of contest knowledge or not.

27 people fell off the Top 50. grayfox9996, PSU_Jer, Ludwig_Von_2, Azp2k32, Courier00, Enohp, ChichiriMuyo, kangle5411, KrazyHokage, thedarkpp, KingLionel, BIOCLIPPER, abiggeebabigee, Xetherion, syntaxerror7, The_Ps2_Devil, Ngamer64, SieTao, AceMoe, Hiwatbezz, UCanCountOnMe, TehDukeofEarl, Greenmonkey034, EnochCamas, hylianknight3, Maxaattack and Blairville did not have SSBB winning the match.

It's okay, New Nintendo or not, TP is still Zelda. Yes that's right I'm voting for a Zelda game I don't even like to win the contest just because it's a Zelda game and Link has to win every single contest. Call me a drone if you like!


At least you can admit your drone-like tendencies. This is one small step for the Link fanbase.

lol I like how the contest is pretty much over for half the topic. Unless we see that huge last-week upset once again, it does kinda feel everything is going downhill. Zelda is just dismantling KHII, though. I really wouldn't put it past Zelda to challenge next round, underdog though it may be.

Hey now, there's a difference between me and other Zelda fans. You see, other Zelda fans actually like each and every Zelda game, so they're voting for them not out of loyalty to the series, but because they actually like all the games in it.

In all seriousness though, all the previous arguments about how Zelda is no more dronelike than FF, Mario and Pokemon still stand. It's just fun to cheer for Link and embrace droneness when people are screaming about how Zelda always wins.

I'm up for voting for it next round...and the round after...and the round after if MM doesn't pull off an impossible upset. It's simply an incredibly FUN game. Who cares about its depth? In the end, games are entertainment, and out of all the remaining games, the only ones I'd take over Brawl are MM and Portal.

Aw, I love Skies of Arcadia! :< I'm happy it won a match.

I've been happy with our champion in only one contest, and that was just a joke winner who helped inject some life into the lol 4-ways for a bit before they went away. My favorites tend to do okay, they just don't win, so I find happiness where I can: Paper Mario over World of Warcraft, Charizard's crazy run, Missingno's historic victory over Crono, Mario's wins over Crono, and Kirby over Sephiroth, which was one of my favorite results ever. I always get tired of the contest towards the end because there's nothing left for me to do but antivote and try for crazy upsets. You do what you can.

FFX got between 53% and 55% on KH last contest, so if TP can hold 58% on KH2, it'll look a good deal stronger than FFX barring a major drop in KH's strength (which is probable, actually, given how bad its characters looked in the character battle).

I'd take TP over FFX at this point, especially in a day match.


Likewise. I doubt FFX would be doing this to Kingdom Hearts, SFF or not.

It's so crazy. Brawl and Twilight Princess would ravage any 360 or PS3 game to hell and back. Hell, at this point, Galaxy might challenge anything those consoles have to offer. You'd think that alone would carry the Wii to more respectable poll showings.

It's weird stuff, definitely. But we'll see how the Wii does in System of the Year when that poll is ran in slightly less than a month from now.
