(+) Yeah! (+)

Even in the tournament LMS doesn't get it.

I'm just pointing out.

And I had to come and rescue TTYD so it could force OT against VC, yikes.

Why would you want to do a terrible thing like that?

SuperNiceDog is pretty good.

LMS is an awful user. That shouldn't surprise you.

Yesterday's results:

(5) Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door – 20 (48.78%)
(12) Valkyria Chronicles – 21 (51.22%) (OT, 11-8)
--Both Paper Mario games suffer round 1 upsets due to falling behind too much too quickly. TTYD was able to come back and force overtime, but it couldn't get the job done.

(4) Final Fantasy VI – 23 (51.11%)
(13) Bioshock – 22 (48.89%)
--This match was back and forth all day long, but FFVI barely manages to stave off the upset.

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

And wow if I wasn't there, FFVI would've been forced into OT by something that SA2 beat.

Ouch.

I wonder if Rivalry Rumble has got everyone itching for upsets.

Everyone's being really hipster.

And I like it!

For shame, Leon.

Nice win by VC. Guess it winning its conference wasn't a total fluke.

Aw yeah VC.

Who knew the Rivalry Rumble would be so predictable? SuperNiceDog, that's who.

Could VC be this year's Presea?

Well, the main problem is that swirldude supports it, and anything he supports is doomed to failure eventually.

Poor Persona 4.

Yesterday's results:

(6) Final Fantasy Tactics – 28 (62.22%)
(11) Pokemon Black/White – 17 (37.78%)
--FFT was pretty much in control of this match from start to finish, and R/B/Y is the only Pokemon game to get past round 1.

(3) Super Mario World – 28 (63.64%)
(14) Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots – 16 (36.36%)
--Mario World puts up a nearly identical performance, and MGS's tournament struggles continue.

Yesterday's results:

(7) Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars – 20 (47.62%)
(10) Skies of Arcadia – 22 (52.38%)
--And all three Mario RPGs suffer round 1 defeats, two of them to games featuring Vyse the Legend. Mario RPG kept it close, but it could never quite take the lead.

(2) The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past – 27 (61.36%)
(15) Super Smash Bros. – 17 (38.64%)
--LTTP jumped out to a big lead early and coasted to an easy SFF win.

Only the anti-Mario RPG brigade.

Which is the worst brigade to be a part of!

I haven't cooperated with that brigade but I can sympathise with its cause.

--
SuperNiceDog is pretty good.

Yesterday's results:

(1) Final Fantasy IX – 30 (62.50%)
(16) Banjo-Kazooie – 18 (37.50%)
--Banjo-Kazooie put up a good showing early on, but it couldn't keep pace with FFIX over the long haul.

(8) Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater – 28 (59.57%)
(9) The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask – 19 (40.43%)
--MGS3 didn't get many big wins over quality opponents during the regular season, but it gets one here against Majora's Mask, which lost 3 of its last 5 to close the regular season and carried its struggles into the tournament.

Ah well.

I knew that was going to be the hurdle.

If I was here MGS3 would've broken 60%.

So the Zelda series so far:

Ocarina of Time - Almost lost to Star Fox 64.
Twilight Princess - Almost beat SOTN.
Majora's Mask - Blown out by MGS3.

Speaking of which, the Castlevania series so far:

SOTN - Almost lost to Twilight Princess.
Aria of Sorrow - Almost beat Melee.

No more comment. I'll try to get both Smash games out of the tourney now.

Thank goodness FFIX distanced itself there.

No problem!

FFIX is the enemy; it must be vanquished

Banjo-Kazooie is the #1 priority enemy

FFIX can lose next round to MGS3

Mario 64 is public enemy #1

Yesterday's results:

(5) Tales of Symphonia – 27 (54.00%)
(12) Half-Life 2 – 23 (46.00%)
--This match was back and forth all day long, but a late push gave Tales of Symphonia the victory and avoided another round 1 upset loss.

(4) Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – 27 (54.00%)
(13) Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty – 23 (46.00%)
--Same score as before, similar story. MGS2 put up a good fight and kept it close almost the whole way, but the late votes favored Phoenix Wright.

Also, at least the best MGS game was the one that won its match. That counts for something.

I don't even want to look at my bracket score because that would only remind me just how many of my favorite games have fallen

Hey, at least you don't have to overrate Half-Life 2 on your ballots anymore!

We did you a favor!

Grrr when I left HL2 was winning and MGS2 had tied the match.

At least they both did really well I suppose.

We made sure the games you voted for lost because we're tired of you trying to take credit for results.

So what do you think I should vote for in this case?

I would vote for Persona 3 over Wind Waker with ease, but I never played Persona 4.
In all likelihood, I would like P4 more than WW as well (if it's similar), but there's just something so dirty about voting for a game you never played.
