charmander6000 09/17/11 9:45:00 PM #103:	Does anyone think a Mario game would be second favourite to win the contest (after Chrono Trigger) or does the prospect of having 4 Mario games in the quarterfinals cause them to get anti-voted? I feel that despite being ranked number 2 few people would consider RE4 to win a CT-less bracket. After that we have Pokemon RBY and Melee (as long as it avoids Brawl) that could be considered second favourite. -- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls Congratulations to Black Turtle for winning the guru contest. <cite>charmander6000 posted [p:342716] in NCAA Games...

charmander6000 09/17/11 9:57:00 PM #109:	The overlapped fanbase is likely the case for RE4's strong win over Galaxy, plus I think people were a bit anti-Mario that time. Even if we assume all the Mario games to be equal I would give RE4 a better chance against the two Galaxy games than the other three Mario games.
