Assuming that game can even survive FF6 at this rate.

Melee can still win. it's doing a number on KH2 here too. it's just that CT is so much crazier.

throw in that rally and anything can happen. also, CT/Melee, FF6/FF7 all at once next round.

It's no guarantee that even rally-fueled Undertale can stop Chrono Trigger. All bets are f***ing off.

Also, my bracket is officially dead, since I took FFX to win the division. Sheeeeit.

how does Tumblr feel about old school RPGs like Chrono Trigger?


Tumblr in general is too young to have played them, but Undertale is inspired by SNES jrpgs and uses Chrono Trigger music samples, it might benefit more from the rally than FF7 just by association. Depends on the pictures though, I bet a lot of people coming here to vote for Undertale who haven't played either of the other games will pick CT if it has a sprite picture like today's.
Ocarina of Time (2009g) VS Final Fantasy X (2009g)

Ocarina of Time has a strength of 53.91.
Final Fantasy X has a strength of 37.30.

Ocarina of Time wins with 65.41% of the vote!

Somehow the game that is going to ruin B8's brackets most on natural strength is Chrono Trigger.

How does that even happen in a post-2002 world?

New stupid theory: some voters are confused and think they still have to make a pick in the left quarter of the box, leading them to automatically vote for Chrono Trigger

it's 4-ways though

OoT was saddled with R/B/Y and then Brawl and then LttP most of the way

those numbers mean nothing

it doubled FFX even with Brawl in the poll

I've tracked Melee's ability to get into the finals long enough to know how jokey its trends are, and given that KH2's most recent good wins have been beating things like, well, Bioshock and MGS4, I am not overly enthused with what's going to likely end up breaking 40% with ease.

It's not too late Allen! Make it one match per day from divisional finals onward. If rallies are going to ruin another contest, let's at least not have any more matches decided by rallies in the OTHER match.
Seriously though, what's up with the SNES boost?? Are only the older users left alive?

yeah CT is certainly the favourite. that vote influx scares me though. we're seeing this before the random surge.

I kinda hope we see it again just out of curiosity. I'd like to see how they lean in CT/FFX. my guess is CT.

So what you're saying is if everything has stayed constant from 2009, Melee has a chance.

...That actually sounds about right.

Nah this isn't even remotely close to the FF10 we've seen in the past. That game has gone toe to toe with Melee and people still think Melee has a shot next round

It just fell off a f***ing cliff this year
