MM just keeps gaining. It'll hit 60-40 at this rate. Game over.
The Don Makaveli | Posted 12/18/2010 9:04:14 AM | message detail
Stalling at 56.
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 12/18/2010 9:04:49 AM | message detail
Majora's Mask takes its well deserved place as (at least) the fourth strongest Zelda. If it holds this percentage, there's no reason to consider Link's Awakening or the original LoZ any stronger. And I still say a match against Twilight Princess can go either way!

at the freeze. I don't think that there is any reason not to say it's the third strongest LoZ based on this (and ignoring the other contest that it).

Excellent, Majora's Mask. I've always felt the black sheep of the series was Wind Waker. MM/TP would be very interesting, or MM/Brawl if TP can get close.

You have to consider the fanbases and the consoles they were on. SSBM and WW both being on GC didn't help WW.

Don't we have enough information from this contest that we don't have to resort to looking at four way polls?
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 12/18/2010 9:19:16 AM | message detail
Okay, I've got it.

KP's Greatest Meltdown
- Twilight Princess defeats Brawl - KP is confused, unsure whether anger is justified
- Twilight Princess defeats Fallout 3 - KP expresses disgust despite his liking of TP and the painful predictability of such a result
- Majora's Mask defeats MGS3 - KP once again expresses disgust despite the MGS series not earning anything near a semifinal slot after its pathetic performances
- Resident Evil 4 defeats Final Fantasy X - KP expresses great jubilation, stating the contest may be salvaged
- Majora's Mask defeats Resident Evil 4, guaranteeing an All Zelda Final - Volcanic rage. What a glorious day to be alive.

No, we won't have that much information purely from this contest until the finals, since we can't compare the opposite sides of the bracket until then. Until then, we have to rely somewhat on past results.....and all we've got is a 4-way contest and a 1v1 contest from 6 years ago.

Max Score: 240
Omitted scores got it wrong

The top tiers got hammered on this match. I wonder if the actually favored SotC winnning. only around 30% of the Top 100 got the match right. Prediction percentage actually goes up as you go down the tiers. It reaches as high as the low 50s before starting to fade away. I'm guessing the top tiers favored people who had SotC winning against two MGS games who were probably likely to take it over a third MGS game. Or maybe the top tiers are Board 8 heavy who favored MGS4 to win this match.

24 people fell off the Top 50. Advokaiser, Ultimaphazon, Metal_Mercenary, MetalGoomba, DantheSage, BZer0, Turnsniper, dexter28, Therobbieg, McGee4Ever, SubDeity, ToadYoshi, darkfir, PSU_Jer, GreatWizard44, BaronvonPanda, Haste_2, draarrowgant, BakusaiTenketsu, AgainAgainFFA, Ludwig_Von_2, InsaneSage12654, MoogleKupo141 and Camden409 did not have MGS3 winning the match.

13 people got it wrong and survived. Former third place PickleInspector, MerchantTorneko, Swordsman12, swirld00d, gitanil, Tequilla_Gundam, PraetorDabu, Demon_HunterX, Naveplayer, Dragon_Master85, 3rdTimesDeCharm, Glucose7 and WarriorRiffs also did not have MGS3 winning.

I've already plotted out the perfect ending to our next games contest (1v1, no generational division, 24 hour matches being in quarterfinals). This is assuming Brawl wins this contest.

(Night) SSBB > FFVI with 56%
(Day) SMB3 > MGS with 53%
(Night) LTTP > FFX with 57%
(Day) GE007 > KH2 with 55%
(Night) RBY > SOTC with 58%
(Day) SM64 > FO3 with 60%
(Night) SSBM > Starcraft with 53%
(Day) Chrono Trigger > MM with 50.5%

SSBB > SMB3 with 51%
LTTP > GE007 with 55%
RBY > SM64 with 50%
CT > SSBM with 50%

LTTP > SSBB with 52%
CT > RBY with 50%

CT > LTTP with 50%

RE4 loses to SMB1 earlier in the contest, and MGS3 loses to Zelda 1, among other results that turn people against the invincible Nintendo and fuel CT's bandwagon of resistance.

That'd be a bad idea I think. The winner of this contest hasn't won anything like what FFVII and OOT won, and isn't in their league in strength. It would just take one game out of the awesome battle for #3 we could have next contest. I'd say to give it the overall #1 seed and no more.

This is Starcraft being heavily rallied after winning a few previous close matches and after 6 days of Nintendo eliminating all opposition. By this point people are desperate to avoid the all Nintendo final 8. So when Melee takes off in the morning like Link in the 2008 final, it crushes hope all the more!

Yeah, but that means Brawl doesn't get quite a few matches in the bracket. I guess it's not really that important, but it's a better bracket with Brawl in there. Why not have the best contest we can? Also, the TOC setup doesn't give us FFVII vs. OOT as the grand final, but rather FFVII/OOT winner vs. #3. I'd prefer the gauntlet type setup with #3 facing FFVII, and FFVII facing OOT. This also avoids the grand final being OOT demolishing our #3 with SFF, which would be likely since our contest winner will probably be a Nintendo game.

No. It should be Winner Vs FFVII(runner up from last year)

and then Vs OoT. Brawl is going to do a lot better on FFVII than OoT so you might as well match 3 with 2 rather than 1 with 3.

So how, do we think the Zelda games that haven't been in a contest yet would do, CDI games excluded?
Zelda II, Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons, Minish Cap, Four Sword Adventures, Phantom Hourglass, and Spirit Tracks?

So BRawl/OoT is a better match than FFVII/BRawl? How do you figure that out?

No FFVII/OoT and Brawl/Winner would be better matches than OoT/Winner and FFVII/Brawl.

Oracle of ages/season would be stronger of those lot. But still nothing big, i mean it would beat most fodder stuff but nothing remotely strong. I would take every single one of those games to beat Mario kart Wii for example(which is the turd of the contest as far as i'm concerned)

Also MM is STOMPING winder waker right now.
