yeah but mario rpg is a game that's notorious for having the worst night vote in the biz. you guys know this!

I know it's a bit early to look at Europe, but they seem to be favouring Chrono Cross, it's winning in the UK (though that place may only have 20 votes)

If Mario RPG wins against RE4 I'll be very proud of myself of having it since Day 1 and loving the results since it's one of my all my favorite games and I like it more than RE4

what ev RE4 is currently struggling with MGS2


MGS2, despite people's assumptions, is actually a strong game.


It's hardly the game that RE4 should be struggling with if RE4 is where people want to think it is.

I'm just saying at least Europe got Mario RPG at some point!

I think MM = WW is a fair assumption to make right now. FF6 with 52-53% feels reasonable. I stand by my statement that I would never pick Super Metroid over FF6.

Actually,
Resident Evil 4 43.09%
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty 41.74%

It's fine.

or is Zelda just weird like that

RE4 just needs to get past SMRPG, and I take MGS2 comfortably over Chrono Cross. I still think RE4 wins next round, but it will probably be close either way

Nah, MGS2 isn't that weak, do people think round 4 SotC would 60/40 round 2 SotC?

Spoilers RE4 is projected to get 62% on Chrono Cross through those stats

SMRPG has that. Now. During the Power Hour.

If FF6 has a chance against FF7, for real, I'm not sure how to even feel about that. I don't think FF7/WW is particularly close.

I'll probably go over the stats again before the match but currently I have FF7 beating FF3 with 53%. It's pretty dangerous for a game like FF7 to allow another game into striking distance like this so it could end up losing.
---
No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585.
Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest!
I guess I give FF7 some leeway for having to go up against something like Smash Bros., even if it is for Wii U/3DS. WW being that high seem off. Or maybe FF7 is just that low.
---

I have FFVII slightly ahead of FFVI, but it is a winnable match.

you give FF7 credit for facing Smash 4 but don't give FF6 credit for going up against Zelda?

FF7 would not fail to break 54% on Wind Waker. I would expect high 50s and possibly over 60% for 7 against 6.

Even if Europe is pretty split on this match, Chrono Cross should win the night vote only because I expect Asia to favor Chrono Cross over Super Mario RPG.

Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ!
The idea of a bunch of games being within striking range of FFVII seems odd to me. We originally thought it was just a handful that had a shot, but FFVI beating it would mean a lot of games could.

I guess we'll see!

So is the MGS1/3 the favorite over RE4? Assuming one of them makes it out of their division ofcourse.

I just think we've come down a lot on FF7 and Ocarina. there was a time when the only game that could get 40% on those games was each other. now? Ocarina lets FF9 get 35% and FF7 lets Smash 4 get 35%. I think the gap between our big two and the rest has shrunk by quite a bit.

Anyway, this match implies that the MGS series probably hasn't dropped as much as we thought. MGS4 was also validated a bit when KH2 did well against Melee.
---
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
If MGS1 coasts out of the division (like it should), then it'll be the easy favorite over RE4. If it barely survives or MGS3/SOTC/ME2 wins it and/or SMRPG wins this division, then who knows.

I know people don't agree, but I still think we've seen FFVII (and since 2010, Link/OOT) put up lots of bad performances in the early rounds against much weaker games. Stuff like Link/Alucard and Cloud/Captain Falcon. In 2009 FFVII had garbage showings the first 2 rounds, then crushed CT and Mario 64 in Round 3.

Yeah, it's likely they've just come back to the rest of the field. That's been the case in characters, too. Cloud is certainly within striking range of several characters now 1-on-1, and even Link can't destroy non-Nintendo characters the way he used to anymore.

I'd say that FF6/FF7 is probably like 54-46 in favour of FF7, but I wouldn't want to bet on an FF6/FF7 match. that just seems like a recipe for a crazy result. maybe FF7 SFFs the hell out of it or maybe FF6 fans rise up. or maybe the whole internet rallies to kill FF7. who knows?

MGS > MGS2 = MGS3 isn't as big a stretch as you'd think
MGS2 is weaker than MGS3, but not by much.

If FF6 is naturally in that range, I do think the upset will probably happen. That's like the Final Fantasy argument right there and if you have a chance, you gotta go FF6. That'd be a pretty great upset.
