South
America and Europe aren't bad. I actually expected Europe to be much
more lopsided, but it's holding at only 54%. It's freakin' Asia. Final
Fantasy started with a tripling and is now nearing the ****ing quad. I
swear there must have been a serial killer that wreaked havoc on the
Philippines while cosplaying as Link. 85/15 in the Philippines. Crazies thing ever. --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/5nw45i.jpg Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

Same
as FFVII got on OOT. But it's past midnight in China now, and even
later in Korea, Japan, and the Phillipines. Asia won't be contributing
much to the second half of this match. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

Actually,
these percentages are really similar to FFVII/OOT everywhere except
North America, where MM is doing about 4.5% worse right now, though
that'll get closer later on. MM doing a bit better than OOT in Europe. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

Are
people rooting for MM at least Zelda fans? I can understand liking your
favorite series, but seriously, do you want a boring final? That's what
you're going to end up having. --- :> |

From: vcharon | #160 Nah, I think both these games have a fine shot at taking the final. Brawl will be hit by a harder wave of anti-votes than it was against TP two rounds ago, and it should have a tougher time claiming the Nintendo fanbase against an N64 Zelda. Remember that TP couldn't bury Mario Galaxy in the dirt; maybe that game was just easier to win the fanbase against. --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/ml36gl_th.gif Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

continues its attack from the right. West Fleet and ASV Fleet, prepare for a frontal assault on the center in 2 hours time. Canada Fleet, encircle the enemy and prepare to trap them in a vise. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |
xp1337 | Posted 12/22/2010 9:42:51 AM | message detail |
Yeah,
I think it's kind of silly to try and write off MM because of the
Brawl/TP match... unless you think Fallout 3 would have gotten like 47%
or whatever the projection would be on Melee/TP. Which I guess is
possible if you take the stats at face value, but that doesn't seem
right to me. If that Brawl shows up, I don't think it matters who shows up in the finals to face it. If the Brawl that beat Melee/TP shows up, I imagine both FFX and MM would already be at a disadvantage anyway. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?

If
MM does win this though, that proves it is an OoT proxy. Meaning, Dark
Link is a Link proxy and should be rallied for the next character
contest. --- :> |

It's not like Brawl beat TP by very much. TP would probably have broken 48% in a 24-hour match. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

From: vcharon | #165 You serious dude? You don't think things can change for a final match, especially a debated one featuring at least one entrant that many people seem to think is undeserving? You've made a few of these posts the last day - I'm not sure if you're trying to jinx Brawl or what - but you can't possibly be THIS sure about it. What the heck will you say if Majora wins? --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

MM is an OOT proxy no more than FFX is an FFVII proxy, or CC is a CT proxy, or Brawl is a Melee proxy. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

I
am not sure what some of you guys are getting at; but the winner of
this match has the best chance to beat Brawl, not the loser. This scenario: [MM>FFX] [Brawl>MM] [FFX>Brawl] isn't happening. |

red sox 777 | Posted 12/22/2010 9:50:37 AM | message detail |
But
OOT/CT would go similarly to MM/CC. MM would have gotten maybe 65% in a
24-hour match, which is about what OOT would get on CT. So if MM is an
OOT proxy, it's plenty fair to call CC a CT proxy. That would imply
that basically every sequel is a proxy, but that's the natural
consequence of calling MM that. OOT is just so absurdly strong that any
game that actually behaved like an OOT proxy would be instantly far and
away our #3. Nothing would be able to challenge a genuine OOT proxy
except FFVII. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |
vcharon | Posted 12/22/2010 9:52:38 AM | message detail |
Oh? There's a thing called SFF. Both of these games are Nintendo, and therefore will share some of the same fanbase. Are you telling me that this scenario would not be possible: [Samus>Cloud] [Mario>Samus][Cloud>Mario] could not happen? SSB has already beaten Zelda and I don't hold any hope a different Zelda game will do 2-3% better on it. --- :> |

I
am not sure what some of you guys are getting at; but the winner of
this match has the best chance to beat Brawl, not the loser. This scenario: [MM>FFX] [Brawl>MM] [FFX>Brawl] isn't happening. Logically, I agree, because if you think FFX beats Brawl, but Brawl beats MM, you're pretty much arguing for Brawl to rSFF MM, which I'm not inclined to buy. I'd sooner believe that Brawl > MM simply means Brawl > FFX, albeit perhaps by a smaller margin if any SFF at all shows up. But I do have a nagging feeling that a close MM win leaves the door slightly open for Brawl to find a way out of this somehow. I don't know why, because I definitely don't think that makes any sense. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/352) FFX v Pokemon GSC |

Yeah, no. Stop being delusional. MM is not that much stronger than TP. Not to sound mean or anything, if there is anyone that is delusional, it is you. ZeldaFaqs looking to bring home yet another championship + Brawl backlash (unless you think that FO3 match is legit and all of the games in the first 2 division were all secret powerhouses), MM probably has a chance. It is not like Brawl is really invincible at this point, it looked very vulnerable the moment it failed to impress against FO3. |

From: vcharon | #179 I am fairly certain that there are significant gaps between the three Zelda games, with Majora's Mask at the top. How big the gaps are, I don't know. As for the fanbase, the Wii and the N64 are almost on different planets as far as Nintendo goes. I don't think it will have that big of an impact. |

acting exactly like OoT, but it certainly gained a bit of extra power

Yeah,
I still like FFX here. It should take the evening/SNV pretty
convincingly, and right now is probably getting close to the peak of
the day vote. We might see a little increase towards normal ASV time,
but from 6pm on it should be all FFX. |

From: Iamthekuzalol | #183 I'm still trying to figure out why there would be "Brawl backlash" outside of board 8. Is SSB known for dominating these contests for years? Nope... that'd be Zelda. To me, it seems more plausible Zelda could get anti-voted by the casual people who don't care about the match either way since everyone is under the impression "Zelda always wins" (and it does). --- :> |

From: vcharon | #191 I'll give you a few reasons off the top of my head. Whether or not they seem logical is up to you, I guess! 1. On a console everyone hates 2. A multiplayer game that's simply outclassed by many other multiplayer games this gen (it's not Melee, which stood alone with Halo: CE) 3. Not in that fantasy adventure/RPG genre that GameFAQs laps up.

I
don't think the average voter pays attention to whether or not OoT is

their mind about a game because another game isn't in the contest. Well when you put it like that, it does sound ridiculous, but MM did not get this strong for no reason. The only reason I and many others took it this far in the contest is because we predicted it would get some proxy power. And it worked out for us. I've yet to see any other plausible theory as to how it went from "lol it has no chance of beating G/S/C" to almost going even with FFX.
