Also receiving votes:

8 - Final Fantasy Tactics
4 - Okami
4 - Super Metroid
3 - Xenogears
2 - Kingdom Hearts
2 - Mario Kart 64
2 - Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials & Tribulations
1 - Valkyria Chronicles

Not much shifting around for the most part, but people weren't sure who to rank toward the bottom of the poll, so we wound up with a bunch of games not getting a lot of points.

But for the first time since Week 12, RE4 is not ranked #2. G/S/C is back in the Top 25 for the first time since all the way back in Week 3. First time since Week 19 for P4.

Matches shortly.

Things didn't turn out too bad without me submitting a ballot. Resident Evil 4 wouldn't have lost its spot though and MVP Baseball 2005 would have extended its asterisk-marked #1 ranking streak

Yeah, it's a shame that the people who usually sabotage FFIX with bad rankings didn't show up today.

I feel insulted that MVP's opponent for rivalry week is Wild ARMs but then again, there's not really a suitable candidate in the field. I will have to make sure to change that if and when another NCAA games contest comes up

Ah, that explains the discrepancies. 225 points for Chrono Trigger means you counted 9 votes while I only counted 8.

Oh no wait it doesn't, because there's still an 11-point discrepancy between our totals for both games. Tales of Symphonia with 106, Symphony of the Night with 103, everything else the same.

*recounts*

Ah, never mind. The error was mine.

It's basically in the same boat as No mercy and Uminenko.

Wait...Killer7 and No More Heroes, the only two Suda51 games in the contest, aren't facing each other this week? And they didn't face each other in any earlier rivalry weeks? What is this?!

To be fair, you couldn't merely switch them because otherwise a TF2/VJ match would be forced, and that would not only be even less of a "rivalry", but both games are in the same conference.

As did Xenogears and Mario Kart 64. Technically there was a fourth one (from the same voter as the other three), but Leonhart just discounted that 25th-place vote because it had a losing record.

Poor Leon, not accepting the help of other people who offered to help make Week 30 for him. Now we'll never know who is the People's Champion of Suda51 (tm).

Although I forgot Killer7 was in the contest. But I would have remembered!

Yesterday's results:

#9 Super Mario 64 (Nintendo Objections Conference) (25-5, 10-1) – 13 (40.62%)
#4 Super Mario Galaxy (Twilight Barrel Galaxy Conference) (28-2, 11-0) – 19 (59.38%)
--Mario Galaxy makes its case for a 1 seed with an easy win over Mario 64 (Board 8 getting it right? Who would've guessed!). With both of its losses coming to games currently ranked in the top 6, it has a convincing case.

Batman: Arkham Asylum (Metroid Eater Conference) (23-7, 8-3) – 18 (58.06%)
GoldenEye 007 (Tanooki Blitzball Conference) (14-16, 6-5) – 13 (41.94%)
--Batman subjects James Bond to a sub-.500 finish with a win.

Half-Life 2 (Sonic Overload Conference) (23-7, 8-3) – 13 (41.94%)
#10 Portal (Patriot Time Portals Conference) (27-3, 11-0) – 18 (58.06%)
--Portal wins an Orange Box battle with Half-Life 2.

Assassin's Creed II (Patriot Time Portals Conference) (22-8, 9-2) – 26 (96.30%)
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (Brawl for Broke Conference) (15-15, 5-6) – 1 (3.70%)
--I'm 96.30% positive this is the biggest blowout we've ever had. Ngamer was literally the only person who voted for Brotherhood.

Contra (Games of the Decades Conference) (14-16, 4-7) – 15 (51.72%)
Jet Force Gemini (Smash Trigger Conference) (11-19, 4-7) – 14 (48.28%)
--Contra finishes its season with a close win over JFG.

SoulCalibur II (Games of the Decades Conference) (20-10, 6-5) – 19 (57.58%)
Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes (Smash Trigger Conference) (17-13, 8-3) – 14 (42.42%)
--SoulCalibur II beats MvC2 to finish at a clean 20-10. Will it be enough to make the tournament? We shall see.

Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald (Nintendo Objections Conference) (14-16, 5-6) – 20 (64.52%)
Suikoden III (Fanservice Conference) (11-19, 6-5) – 11 (35.48%)
--R/S/E disposes of Suikoden III to finish its season on a high note.

Final Fantasy Tactics (Sonic Overload Conference) (25-5, 10-1) – 23 (74.19%)
Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Nintendo Objections Conference) (12-18, 3-8) – 8 (25.81%)
--FFT beats down its SRPG little brother.

Team Fortress 2 (Brawl for Broke Conference) (9-21, 1-10) – 19 (70.37%)
Killer7 (Metroid Eater Conference) (13-17, 5-6) – 8 (29.63%)
--Team Fortress 2 has no problems blowing out Killer7.

Grand Theft Auto IV (Patriot Time Portals Conference) (4-26, 0-11) – 6 (24.00%)
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (Twilight Barrel Galaxy Conference) (11-19, 2-9) – 19 (76.00%)
--Well, it's pretty clear which GTA game is favored among its fans.

#15 Tales of Symphonia (Cult RPG Galaxy Conference) (27-3, 10-1) – 20 (66.67%)
Tales of Vesperia (Brawl for Broke Conference) (20-10, 9-2) – 10 (33.33%)
--Symphonia doubles up Vesperia to put a cap on an impressive season. Symphonia will be in the tournament, but will Vesperia be joining it?

Umineko no Naku Koro ni (Metroid Eater Conference) (3-27, 2-9) – 14 (45.16%)
WWF No Mercy (Smackdown Hotel Conference) (6-24, 1-10) – 17 (54.84%)
--This was the equivalent of watching Barry Horowitz wrestle the Brooklyn Brawler, but hey, No Mercy gets the win.

Worms: Armageddon (Patriot Time Portals Conference) (8-22, 3-8) – 12 (38.71%)
Harvest Moon: Back to Nature (Zelda Overload Conference) (2-28, 0-11) – 19 (61.29%)
--Harvest Moon gets its first (and only) win since Week 3, when it beat World of Warcraft.

Sonic Adventure 2 (Sonic Overload Conference) (21-9, 5-6) – 15 (48.39%)
Sonic Colors (Games of the Decades Conference) (10-20, 3-8) – 16 (51.61%) (OT, 9-8)
--Had to DQ a couple of alt votes for Sonic Colors, but all it did was force a tie, which I broke in favor of the superior 3-D Sonic game.


Apologize for being so late posting results! Got caught up in contest madness!

Yesterday's results:

#2 Final Fantasy IX (Smackdown Hotel Conference) (27-3, 11-0) – 16 (48.48%)
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (Zelda Overload Conference) (21-9, 8-3) – 17 (51.52%)
--Let's sum up Wind Waker's last four weeks of the contest: Beat LTTP, beat FFIX, lose to DKC1. Yep, sounds about right. This seriously hurts FFIX's chances at a 1 seed, too.

#7 Super Mario Bros. 3 (Tanooki Blitzball Conference) (26-4, 11-0) – 9 (26.47%)
#12 Super Mario World (Thousand-Year World of Sunshine Conference) (26-4, 9-2) – 25 (73.53%)
--Wow, I had no idea this debate had become so lopsided (and in the wrong direction, to boot)!

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 (Cult RPG Galaxy Conference) (19-11, 8-3) – 12 (42.86%)

The Wind Waker ends its contest season in the best way possible: by pulling off another silly upset.

And at least StarCraft managed to leave this contest with some semblance of dignity, which is more than freaking Mario 3 can say. Argh.

Great week so far!

Losses by SMB3 and FFIX push Galaxy 2 into the Top 5. Two Galaxies to rule all the Marios? It's more likely than you think! FFX drops because no one else thought its jokes were funny.

So, in the tournament, The Wind Waker's success will be contingent upon the strength of its opponents.

If it faces somebody weak, it'll lose. If it faces somebody strong, it'll win!

Goddamnit. I'm being forced off the computer, and my laptop still isn't getting internet. Given how many matches are either tied or one-vote matches at the moment, I would be highly surprised if there wasn't an overtime...and I'm gonna miss it!

Dayumn.

Disappointing that the two that he made into two-vote matches instead of tying up were the ones I felt most strongly about (in favor of the game that now loses by two, in both cases), but this will still be an epic overtime!

CT pretty much only lost because of FF9's stupid loss, I anti-voted it just out of spite. Also to see if it could still remain #1.

Not that I hate CT. I love it, I just wanted to see the last undefeated game lose. : P
