Crew Predictions - 101/114

What Happened: Fallout stomps and Prime squeaks by

Why it Happened: Fallout beat Halo with ease, especially since it was a night match and Halo really sucks at night. Then, Prime started off really strong against HL2, but then lost the ASV to it...and continued to fall. All in all, it was expected to be a close match, and it ended up being one. HL2 probably would have won a night match too.

What will Happen: Fallout beats Prime

Twilight Princess vs Kingdom Hearts 2

A much-needed breather here after two intense matches in a row. Yet as I looked through the Oracle just now, people were expecting this to end much closer than I expected, mostly huddling in the 52-53 range. Guh? I mean I understand that its Kingdom Hearts in a day match and it should be able to chop the percentage a bit during the heart of the ASV, but everything else sure seems to be trending in favor of an easy TP victory.

Majora and TP have shown zero signs of weakness, Nintendo keeps proving that you don't want to bet against it, and have you SEEN these match pics? The Seph one is nice for KH (though I don't think it will be that big a deal as he doesn't look instantly recognizable), but the other three are pretty much Link Domination City, with a couple just saying "Zelda" for the title (a strategy that sure paid off for MM!). Now all Linking aside, I DO think that Twilight Princess is one of those "all popularity, no respect" titles that could easily be vulnerable to a strong SmartVoterFAQs candidate here in these latest rounds, where voters figure to be more elitist than ever. But since KH2 doesn't match that description, it's going to get KOed in no time!

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - 55.09%

Kingdom Hearts 2 is probably the exact opposite of that, in fact.

Yeah I'd take HL2 to win a 24-hour match even, forget about a night match. It just got awfully unlucky. Still, down Crispy Gamer's GotD goes.

Southeast Division: Round 4 - Match 116 – (4) The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess vs. (6) Kingdom Hearts II

Moltar’s Analysis

Twilight Princess
Round 1 - 79.38% on Shenmue
Round 2 - 68.87% on Dragon Age: Origins
Round 3 - 62.27% on Super Mario Galaxy

Mario once again bows to Zelda

Kingdom Hearts II
Round 1 - 63.81% on Halo 2
Round 2 - 56.27% on Bioshock
Round 3 - 52.42% on Kingdom Hearts

kiddies love the KH2

We’ve seen TP vs. KH2 in the past, and it was close. This is going to be a close match too. TP is stronger, but KH2 gets its beastly day vote. Doubt that’s going to be enough to topple Zelda though.

Moltar’s Bracket: Zelda TP wins

Moltar’s Prediction: Zelda TP - 52%



Lopen’s Analysis

ZELDA

Well also

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3491

If you need a bit more convincing. Day vote should help KH2 but I don't think it's going to win this one. I'm pulling for it, though!

Lopen's prediction:
ZELDA with 52.04%



Transience’s Analysis

Something tells me this will be a repeat of Mega Man / Sephiroth from 2002 -- it'll be close but nobody will pay attention because they're too busy dealing with the fallout from Brawl/Melee.

Anyway, KH2 hung with TP last year and will get a day match here, which is a slight advantage to KH2. There's definitely the chance for an upset here, but are you going to pick Square over Nintendo at this point? Yeah, me either. It'll be awesome if KH2 can make a match of it since it means the contest isn't over with Brawl beating Melee (maybe this 100 vote lead reverses and I look bad here!), but if TP pushes past 55% here then our only hope for an interesting last week is.... Shadow of the Colossus?! oh god

transience's prediction: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess with 54.02%
Master Moltar (tc)message detail | delete | filter | #464
Leon’s Analysis

I really wanted to pick the upset here so bad pre-contest, and I still do. Kingdom Hearts II came close to TP in 4-ways, and it’s proven that it’s still got strength in 1-on-1. After a slow start, KH2 used a massive ASV advantage to put away KH1. Thankfully for KH2, it gets another day match here. When these two faced off in 2009, KH2 had a clear day vote advantage over TP. Twilight Princess was looking really good until that last match against Galaxy, where it only managed 62% of the vote. Perhaps that’s a little bit of validation for Galaxy, but it may be a sign of weakness for TP as well. Yeah, KH2 only managed 57% on BioShock, but it was a night match, and there’s a good chance it’d beat Galaxy. I don’t know how much it’d win by though. TP and KH1 put up similar performance on Dragon Age and MW2, respectively. Do you think MW2 could still beat Dragon Age? I do. I think KH2’s got a good shot at the upset here. Pulling it off would make FFX look better, I think, so…why not? Going “Yeah, why not?” last round worked out pretty good for me with KH2, so what’s one more! If it can weather the early vote, then DAT ASV!

Leonhart’s Embarrassing Confession of the Match: I thought the Spinner wasn’t really that great in TP. Not enough uses for it. Double Clawshot all the way, man!

Leonhart’s Vote: Kingdom Hearts II.

Leonhart’s Prediction: Kingdom Hearts II with 50.25%



Kleenex’s Analysis

I think KH2 actually has a shot here. These two games should be around the same strength based on last year's stats (I could be way off on this - I didn't actually check), and both should be killer during the day. It's tough to vote against ZELDA though because DRONESSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

DRONE'S Prediction: ZELDA with 53.11% ZEDLA ZELDA

FFX vs FF9

There were a ton of differing opinions regarding the way SB set up this GotY bracket, but the one thing everyone could agree on was "WOW does that Final Fantasy division ever suck." For a little bit there it looked as though he might get bailed out: FF9 was tearing people up and had just blasted Persona with nearly 70% while Golden Sun was making a fool of FFX in the first half hour. But then FFX went on one of the biggest overnight tears we've even seen and 9 was humbled by KotOR (in a Day Match, but still), and now we're right back to square one. As in, this suuuuucks.

I guess you could try to make the case that since FF9 is older it might get a slight nostalgia/SmartVoterFAQs boost? Unfortunately I can't buy it; the games were released too closely for nostalgia to do much (see: KH1/KH2), and despite its semi-cult following, X is very clearly the more "GotDy" choice between the two. Nope, if anything (besides Brawl) is going to take down X it'll have to do so relying on anti-Final Fantasy sentiment- obviously not an option for 9. I'm going to go with a middle of the road pick for this dull poll.

Final Fantasy X - 63.33%

South Division: Round 4 - Match 117 – (1) Final Fantasy X vs. (2) Final Fantasy IX

Moltar’s Analysis

Final Fantasy X
Round 1 - 77.46% on Viewtiful Joe
Round 2 - 70.83% on Borderlands
Round 3 - 65.66% on Golden Sun

Golden Sun can’t fight at night

Final Fantasy IX
Round 1 - 75.19% on Phoenix Wright 3
Round 2 - 68.87% on Persona 3
Round 3 - 53.07% on Star Wars: KOTOR

KOTOR leaving on a good note

Well, the same-series matches we’ve seen so far have actually been good. However, this one is going to be a dud no doubt. Melee/Brawl and KH/KH2 were interesting because we were unsure which game the fanbase preferred. Here, we all know it is FFX by a good margin.

FF9 does have a core fanbase, so it won’t completely die, but FFX is going to have no problem rolling over it.

Moltar’s Bracket: FFX wins

Moltar’s Prediction: FFX - 69%



Lopen’s Analysis

I don't see this “grudge match” being anything but a beatdown. Final Fantasy IX has looked decent this contest, but in a SFF affair I see the hierarchy going FF7 >> FF6/FF10 >> everything else. Vivi vs Auron probably gives us a good idea of how this is gonna go, given they're both clear fan favorite side characters.

I guess it being a night match might help FFIX. Maybe. *shrug I think this one has potential to go ugly... like, 70-30 ugly. In fact, I'll go with that range just cause why not.

Lopen's prediction:
Final Fantasy X with 67.45%



Transience’s Analysis

We haven't seen too many cases of SFF this year. Thanks to Allen making an excellent bracket, there hasn't been any inter-series matchups where one game is just obviously better than the other.

This is an exception.

If FF9 can keep this under a doubling, it'll have done well. FFX just trumps it everywhere. More popular, sold better, FFX's characters do better.. the only case of FF9 beating FF10 is when Vivi beat Tidus and that isn't even a fair fight.

Don't take this performance to mean FFX is gonna beat RE4. This match does not matter.

transience's prediction: Final Fantasy X with 67.98%

Leon’s Analysis

Well, this one’s pretty straightforward. We already saw FFVIII make short work of FFIX in the last Games Contest, 4-way format or not. FFX’s at least as strong as FFVIII, so we know what’s going to happen here. I wouldn’t be surprised if FFX actually doesn’t manage an SFF killing here because FFVII and Cloud are the only ones who seem to do that consistently when it comes to Square. FFX’s natural strength is just too much for FFIX though.

Leonhart’s Embarrassing Confession of the Match: I think Yuna is the best Final Fantasy female, and by a wide margin! She’s awesome!

Leonhart’s Vote: Final Fantasy X.

Leonhart’s Prediction: Final Fantasy X with 64.44%



Applekidjosh’s Analysis

To quote transience yesterday, this isn't about strength or SFF: it's about which game the fanbase prefers. Regardless of what the fanatics on B8 would have you think, the answer to that is quite clearly FFX.

AKJ says FFX > FFIX with 58%



Guest’s Analysis - Ultimaphazon

This should be one of the most obvious division finals of the contest. While FFX hasn't exactly looked like a godslayer (read: Smash-slayer) so far, it should still be able to easily dispatch is older brother. There's no need to go over the previous results, because this is the one SFF that everyone always knew was not going to be close. So, FFX wins, but by how much? Will FFX SFF FIX into the ground, or will the PSX game come out of this match looking respectable? I'm banking on the latter. While FFX was generally well received, it still has its share of haters, and the Final Fantasy fanbase is one of the most diverse there is. You will find many people who prefer IX to X, so this won't be too humiliating.
*goes back to F5ing Melee/Brawl*

Predicition: FFX - 60.50%



Crew Consensus: FFX to win with ease
The Mana Swordmessage detail | filter | #485
Kleenex's Analysis

Whoops, ended up being out later than I expected. Good thing there's not much to say here. Portal has looked pretty impressive, but as is usually the case in these kinds of matches, Resident Evil 4 is just...damnit I did it again, it's Final Fantasy X up first isn't it. I have been mixing up these two divisions since the start of the contest. Well, Final Fantasy X wins, but it should be fun to see how Final Fantasy IX can hold up. This could end up being a huge SFF beatdown, or FFX could keep looking unimpressive. We'll see.

Kleenex's Prediction: Final Fantasy X with 60.04%

Crew Predictions - 102/116

What Happened: The Melee/Brawl debate is finally settled

Why it Happened: Melee started off well with the baord vote, but in the end, Brawl won thanks to the casuals waking up in the morning and voting for the Smash game they preferred. Then, TP had no problem at all with KH2. Is KH overall weaker this year, or is TP that much stronger?

What will Happen: Brawl should beat TP, but who knows.

Resident Evil 4 vs Portal

With FFX once again underwhelming, it's high time to fire up the ol' RE4 Upset Wagon with a 60% killing of a game that trashed Final Fantasy a couple rounds back! ...sounds like a great plan, except for the little problem that this is PORTAL, the hardest game to hate on in the entire bracket. I don't think anything could post a major blowout on Valve's #1 entrant, not even Ocarina or FF7, because there's so much good will surrounding this title than anyone who doesn't feel very strongly about its opponent is probably going to throw their vote behind Portal.

Unfortunately for the clever puzzle game, people most certainly DO feel strongly about Resident Evil 4, so I doubt this result is ever in question. I've been saying all along that SmartVoterFAQs was going to pick up in the later rounds and that RE4 is the #1 SVF option of the entire decade, so it would sure be hypocritical of me to hold this under 55%. But 60? Nah- Portal can work the "respect/importance/uniqueness" angle enough to somewhat dilute 4's advantage in that area. But feel free to prove me wrong by striking fear in the heart of Tidus with a monster performance, Leon!

Resident Evil 4 - 56.71%

Southwest Division: Round 4 - Match 118 – (1) Resident Evil 4 vs. (3) Portal

Moltar’s Analysis

Resident Evil 4
Round 1 - 82.15% on Jet Grind Radio
Round 2 - 65.69% on Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Round 3 - 70.72% on Persona 4

Resident Evil the superior 4

Portal
Round 1 - 71.47% on Gears of War 2
Round 2 - 59.98% on Final Fantasy XII
Round 3 - 54.32% on Mass Effect

And here we thought Mass Effect was looking weak.

Hmm, I could have bought Portal having an outside shot at RE4, but not so much after Round 3. Portal has still done very well for itself though, and it should look respectable against one of the strongest games in the bracket, RE4.

Speaking of RE4, it’s dominated in all its matches thus far. Another scary performance and FFX better watch out.

Moltar’s Bracket: RE4 wins

Moltar’s Prediction: RE4 - 59%



Lopen’s Analysis

Mass Effect looking “pretty good” against Portal should be enough to quash any hopes of an upset for this one. RE4 hasn't really shown any weakness all contest, and I don't think this is the match it starts.

Lopen's prediction:
RE4 with 58.99%



Transience’s Analysis

Time to see what RE4 is really made of. Portal is pretty much a known quantity, having beaten some pretty respectable games in FF12 and Mass Effect. RE4 dealing with a GTA game and Persona 4 isn't exactly useful in determining if it can beat FFX.

I think RE4 can show it's a legit FFX killer today. If it can break 60% then that's damn good - I think KOTOR and Mass Effect are equal (and thus FF9 and Portal about equal), so if RE4 can even approach FFX's percentage today it'll be in good shape.

transience's prediction: Resident Evil 4 with 59.30%
Master Moltar (tc)message detail | delete | filter | #491
Leon’s Analysis

Well, at least we get a nice break with two easy matches in the wake of Melee/Brawl. Portal should do respectably here, but it has no chance of winning. It’ll be interesting to see just how strong it really is since it’s basically faced games with unknown strengths up to this point. We know RE4 is up there in the top 5 games in this contest in terms of strength. How will Portal measure up? Let’s find out. If RE4 can put a big hurtin’ on it, that’ll look good for those crazies who still believe it can beat FFX!

Leonhart’s Embarrassing Confession of the Match: I know this is a stretch, but since Portal is a puzzle game, you know what was a really awesome puzzle game that I never hear people talk about? Tetris Plus. My best friend and I used to play that thing all the time. Stupid professor guy.

Leonhart’s Vote: Resident Evil 4.

Leonhart’s Prediction: Resident Evil 4 with 57.65%



Kleenex’s Analysis

Okay, now it's time for the Resident Evil 4 match. For real this time. Like I started saying in last night's writeup, Portal's impressed thus far, but RE4 is just on another level. You could make a case for Portal if it seemed like the game had gotten any kind of rally or bandwagon or JOKE VOTES or whatever you want to call it, but nothing in the first three rounds have pointed to that being the case. At least we can see if RE4 is truly a beast and can put the fear of God into FFX next round.

Kleenex's Prediction: Resident Evil 4 with 56.78%



Applekidjosh’s Analysis

I am a little too drunk to do this justice and I don't think I'll wake up in time so let me just say I wish Portal had a chance here. From my perspective of not having played or cared about RE4 it sure gets a lot more attention than it should! Portal has looked great all contest but RE4 is just too high of a mountain to climb.

akj says RE4 beats Portal with something like 55.55%



Guest’s Analysis - GrapefruitKing

oh... I'm just back from a dinner with friends and I'm still slightly drunk .... this makes better analyses most of the times anyway

I'd love to take the Portal upset here. I picked Portal to reach the divisional finals without even thinking about it and now here it is. Had Portal gotten another amazing showing against Mass Effect (something like 60%), I would've rooted for it here. But Portal just has no chance here, unfortunately. RE4 has yet to disappoint in this contest, and when you weakest performance is 66% against a GTA game, you're just not supposed to lose to Portal.

Unless .....

Naaah. Unfortunately this match will be amongst the most boring of Round 4.

GrapefruitKing's surprisingly accurate prediction: Resident Evil 4 with 58.08%



Crew Consensus: RE4 is the unanimous pick here.

I guess people were expecting a doubling or something.Personally I think it did good.

Well, considering I'm in line to get the accuracy point here and I have FFX winning the contest, I'm not sure what's wrong with this performance unless you think not being able to put down the SFF hammer means FFX is doomed.

Brawl will be doomed next round when it can't put down the SFF hammer on TP, and people are picking TP > FFX now despite TP not being able to put the SFF hammer down on Galaxy!

Same Fanbase Factor, the idea that two games from similar companies or backgrounds (such as two Nintendo games) will result in the stronger game overperforming due to a disproportionate favoring of the stronger game among the fanbase.
