Yesterday's results:

(3) Super Mario World – 30 (56.60%)
(2) The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past – 23 (43.40%)
--The last Mario game remaining knocks out the last Zelda game! This was back and forth for a while, but Mario World gradually pulled away toward the end of the match for a comfortable victory.

Victory.

Overrated Zelda.

Despite my bashing of World in favor of SMB3, it really is the next best thing.

When did the rules change?


It was never a rule.

I threw it out there as a possibility, and we decided it was a bad idea five minutes later because of idiots like you who would bracket vote to try to get a free game.

Yesterday's results:

(6) Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 – 27 (50.94%)
(2) Final Fantasy VII – 26 (49.06%)
--This one was back and forth all day long, with neither side ever leading by more than a couple of votes, but P4 barely survives FFVII and moves on to face another FF game for a shot at the Final Four. With FFVII's defeat, no 2 seed reaches the Elite Eight.

Which is apparently bad for business.

Of course, I'm sure there were a few who voted for P4 despite never playing it as well, but you're probably not complaining about those!

I'd be shocked if FF7 beat any FF game with strength head to head, especially in the tournament where upset mongering is in full strength and people have a better reason to anti-vote it, being a former finalist (winner?)

Maybe past results shut me up on this one though

Also I should note that I actually like FF9 but it's just... a lot of people on this board have it as the best FF game and I can't say it even comes close to that. It's a game that this board sours me on to the point where I'm probably going to be voting Persona 4 next round despite liking FF9.

Uhh I mean Social Links go P4

Maybe I should actually play my P4 game I have just to be sure P4 doesn't also have this problem.

The best 'stats' we have on this subject was the Absolute Best Game Contest I ran, where FF7 lost in Round 1 to Shadow Hearts 2 really easily.

We could also use common sense and realize that the biggest JRPG ever will always have a higher playrate than Persona 4 in any audience outside of maybe the Atlus forums.

Looks like RBY and World are the only games left released before 2000. New school is leaving its mark on the tournament.

3 Nintendo, 2 Square, 2 Capcom, 1 Atlus remain.

FFVII is also probably the most unfairly hated game on this board, so I don't really take much from those statistics in the first place.

Well, maybe not the MOST.

But out of any game that's already pretty popular despite having a decent sized hatebase to go along with it.

In order of best to worst

Good winners:

FFX
RE4

I don't know what this is but I give it the benefit of a doubt based on what I've heard:

Persona 4

B8 overrates the hell out of these so I'd rather not see them win, despite being good games:

SMW
Phoenix Wright
FFIX
SSBM
Pokemon RBY

I will say at least there are no bad winners left. SMW and PW are borderline between the good and overrated category but I'd rather see P4 win than either one

The problem with those stats is that it favors people who play niche games.

To put it negatively, hipsters play hipster games and prefer hipster games.

If all the people who played FFVII and did not play P4 played P4, there's just as good a chance they still vote for FFVII.

Yes, I recall that contest. It was won by a game so few had ever played that your rules disallowed anyone to vote against it. People not playing a game doesn't equate to it being any good.

I think you vastly underestimate Persona. It has done well this contest in general and you know very well it is popular on this board. Don't sell the "it's really hip, I bet few have played it" crap when this is board 8.

I don't really care what you think determines the quality of a game or whether or not you think something is 'hipster'. Less people have played P4 than FF7. It still won. That's all there is to it.

Obviously fewer people have played P4, I'm not arguing that. The way you phrased it makes it seem like anyone that has played both games must vote for P4 because it is better, and that's a really crap argument.
