So...what, you're telling me Sonic Adventure 2 beating six fodder opponents is more indicative of its strength then getting destroyed by the weakest SSB title? Lol LMS's thought process.

Next week, SA2 gets Contra. Contra will be the second toughest opponent SA2 has had to face to this point. Contra is 3-4, 87th in the RPI.

Oh yeah, Sonic Adventure 1 vs. Contra who do you pick to win?

I'd take either SA over Contra, but it likely would be a close battle.

I was thinking of that because Sonic Adventure and Contra both nearly escaped doublings from two top dogs of the contest (Super Metroid and Super Mario 64, respectively). Either that speaks ill of their opponents or well of themselves.

Since performances against weak opponents vary greatly, I don't put any stock into those matches. RBY got like 60% against TTEWY, for instance, but I'm sure RBY is still a top three... or at least a top 5 game. Contra probably wouldn't stand a chance against FF8, yet Contra did better on Mario 64.

"Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think."

Didn't TTEWY just do pretty well against another highly ranked opponent this past week?

Yeah, I think SM64 is starting to get antivoted because of the whole "Mario always wins" factor that's going on; I'd consider it a heavy underdog this week against Melee. Speaking of which...

Week 4: "Oh, hey, Yoshi's Island is 4-0; it'll make another great quality win to boost Paper Mario: TTYD back into top 25 consideration."
Week 5: "Wow, Fire Emblem just jumped from not receiving votes to being #24 after beating FFT, and now it's facing 5-0 Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. It should really gain some traction after winning this one."
Week 6: "Yoshi's Island is 6-0 and in the top 25, so Majora's Mask should be able to use this win to bounce back from that loss to Wind Waker."
Week 7: "Okay, FFIX actually looks stronger than FFX right now in spite of FFX beating it head-to-head due to the schedule it's faced, but FFX should be able to turn that around after it beats Super Mario World 2 next week."
Week 8: "Wait...exactly why do I keep picking against SMW2, again?"

Seriously, this week will be the fourth week in a row where SMW2 faces a seemingly superior opponent, and I'm starting to think that it'll win this one, too. It's still not getting voted terribly high in the rankings topics, because it's hard to take Yoshi's Island seriously, but at 8-0 with four straight quality wins/four wins against games that were ranked at some point in the season in its last 5 matches (lol GoldenEye), it's going to be hard to deny it a top-3 spot next week if it pulls this off.

Anagram: Oh God, Tidus and Yuna were involved?

Wait, did people really expect Yoshi's Island to lose to FE7?

And Yoshi's Island is on course to jump 5+ spots in the rankings as of right now. It's just hard to rank it above the stuff that's ahead of it.
