I don't think if this has been discussed yes, but is it possible that the original Metal Gear Solid was never as strong as we thought?


Oh, for sure. In a 12 hour day match, it may have lost to GSC. It also didn't impress that much in R2 considering it had perhaps the most ridiculous Stand Out Factor we saw in that games contest. Beating FFVIII rather easily is a feather in its cap, I guess, but it still finished third and was just fighting for OoT's crumbs.

Based on what we're seeing now, I'd definitely take Majora to beat it, and hell, maybe even Wind Waker would wreck house in a day match.

Focusing on Dragon Quest probably wouldn't help Square. It'll always be huge in Japan, but I don't see it ever becoming anywhere near as successful or popular as the Final Fantasy series outside of Japan.

Square should make a badass fighting game or Smash knockoff already. I would buy the hell out of that. The roster would be freakin' ridiculous.

Square actually has a lot more viable characters for such a game than Nintendo. The only problem is that way too many of them use swords.

13 is a great game, why do people say this stuff.


It was a good game. But not good enough to redeem an entire series.

Especially when it was followed months later by the single worst game in the entire franchise.

We're well ahead of votals from last week's day matches, which does suggest that school is out and we're getting more votes early. Might not have much of a true day vote today, but freakin' Majora can still push for 58%. We had no idea how badly it would ravage most things in this bracket. FFX is the only non-Nintendo entry that would even stand a chance. Maybe Kingdom Hearts could have put up a fight, but that's looking doubtful at this point.

-LusterSoldier- | Posted 12/20/2010 10:49:57 AM | message detail
Today's night match does suggest there could be a diluted ASV today. Hourly vote totals for today's night match:

1:00 | 8641
2:00 | 5608
3:00 | 4129
4:00 | 3006
5:00 | 2702
6:00 | 2434
7:00 | 2756
8:00 | 2963
9:00 | 3301
10:00 | 3694
11:00 | 4023
12:00 | 4274

That does feel like a diluted ASV to me. In a night match that occurs on a weekend or holiday, the 6:00-7:00 AM hour has the lowest vote intake. Night matches that occur on school days have the lowest vote intake during the 5:00-6:00 AM hour, which is what occured in today's night match.

But what really makes me think there's a diluted ASV is the 11:00 AM-12:00 PM hour, which normally should not have a higher vote intake than the 10:00-11:00 AM hour. Regardless of there is a night match on a school day or on the weekends/holidays, the 11:00 AM-12:00 PM hour has almost always had less votes than the 10:00-11:00 AM hour.

I'm sure it's a fine system. I just care very little for handhelds in general. A quality Smash Bros. knockoff from Square - released on the 360/PS3 with solid online support - would be very well received and would sell like hotcakes. It would probably be cheaper and quicker to make than the last few blockbusters they've churned out, to boot.

how do you input the values for calculating X-Stats using the x-stat calculator on gamefaqscontests.com?

like I wanted to find out what Brawl is projected to get vs FFX using

TP getting 32.24% in a four way with re4 23.73%
FFX got 56.81% on Resident evil 4.
Brawl got 52.75% on TP.

So what would Brawl be projected to get against FFX? I have no idea how to use the x-stat calculators...

Yeah, MM winning this would be hilarious. It's like, "how can Zelda fans prove they will vote for anything with the Zelda name in it?"

Now MGS3 and RE4 have been knocked out in quick succession I honestly couldn't care less. Favourite game left in the bracket is Brawl and that's not really saying all that much (it's barely in my top 30, if that, fun game and nothing more), completely out of the bracket and battle challenge, yeah, sure. Wouldn't mind my point (and others') about Zelda drones being proved.

Zelda drones? so you're saying because OoT wins it was zelda drones? OoT has a gigantic fanbase no just among zelda fans but gaming fans in general, MM is a well respected game.

If MM beats FFX don't blame Drones..blame FFX haters who will antivote the damn game.

FFX... SFF RE4? Where the hell did you come up with that stuff? The only thing they have in common is both having been on the PS2. There's more of an argument about RE4 being SFFed by Nintendo because it was a GC game at first. And that's still pretty damn iffy.

The good thing is FFX does not have 12 hour Night match. Which means North americas influence will be more significant. MM beats FFX in NA for me..but by how much is the key to the whole match. It needs to be over 52% because i believe FFX will 60-40 MM in every other region.
