lttp's been pretty much equal to ocarina in every performance this year (not that that's easy to measure).


FFIV = FFIX?


in this SNES boosted environment, why not? (ocarina's slightly better probably, but LTTP's doing what, like 77% on Perfect Dark? if you set LTTP and Ocarina equal, what does PD/Suikoden 2 look like?)

I guess if CT proves itself to be our decisive #1 game FFX will still be in the conversation

Both of today's matches are somehow ahead of the OoT match at the one hour mark. Maybe there's something to having Zelda in both matches that benefits each other when it comes to helping out the vote totals.

LTTP wins with 50.02%

if you set PD and Suikoden 2 equal that is

PD wins with 50.02% if you set OoT and LTTP equal

You know if Mario World could hang with Undertale's early start rally I'm just saying and SNES games are this strong

Let's say we're back in the pre-contest days.

Is there any kind of spin doctoring, even remotely grounded in reality, that one can do to justify a Super Metroid > Majora's Mask pick?

Even as someone who actually took Super Metroid to beat Super Mario Galaxy, this result is just baffling in every sense.

Now crack that combination:

I think it's the close match that helps draw votes and the fact that one of the matches is not SotN vs DKC2.
---
No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585.
Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest!
Clearly not to helping their performances though

...oh right MGS/SotC and MGS3/ME2 are both on the same day too agh

Goddamn Ocarina of Time
DKC2/SotN wasn't going to be a big vote draw anyways and that probably hurt vote totals slightly on the OoT match.

I take SM > MM without a thought pre-contests.

Super Metroid's pedigree is pretty ridiculously stellar.

Or more people are voting early in these matches since one of them was semi-debatable. I didn't vote yesterday until 7 hours into the matches.
Oh, I meant "pre-contest" as in prior to this particular one. Not before contests as a whole.

I should have been more specific, sorry about that. >_>

Really? I often hold back my vote in close matches if I have my favorite losing in my bracket.

Back in 2002 I remember Majora's Mask not being loved or even liked by GameFAQs

so yeah i would have taken Super Metroid

Oh haha no

I gave SM a shot but it was something, like, 5% shot at best, definitely not something I'd ever take unless I was actively sniffing for upsets to diversify my bracket or something

I'm thinking having a Zelda in both matches is hurting the weaker Zelda (MM in this case). Like, some people might feel it's enough to vote for one Zelda game and decide they should at least give the weaker Zelda's opponent a pity vote.

Is having two Zelda games here really hurting them? I kinda doubt that with the performance LttP is putting up on Dark Souls.

Ignore stats and believe that this year is finally the year for Super Metroid to live up it's reputation.

Super Mario Kart is a secret super powerhouse and would take MM to it's limit as well.

Those are the only things I can think of.
