So Zen, to save time browsing through the pages of this topic, what was your final decision as far as the MKII match pic was concerned?

FF4DS is cheating tbqh.

Though any excuse to see more ~Rydia~ is good with me.

So I lost a bet to creativename (yeah...hardly shocking). Like usual, I should've known better!

Hmm, the more I think about it, the more I'm worried Metroid beats out Contra.

At this point, Zelda will probably be hurrting Contra just as much as it hurts Metroid, just like SMB is hurtin Ninja gaiden just as much as duck hunt.

Should be a good much though.

if Zack can more then double Link, I don't see any reason that a DQ game can't beat Zelda in Asia

Yeah, I guess. I'm just saying that to me at least FF4DS > Mega Man 3 > FF4. Probably a rare case though-- probably most voters like both FF4s more/less or will vote for them identically.

Eh, Remakes are fair game. I mean, if somebody first played Super Mario Bros. on the Super Mario All-Stars version, voting for the original is fair game! I don't see why FFIVDS shouldn't be considered as the same as SNES FFIV, pics and all.

Despite the hate on Contra, I really enjoy its pic. Sure, it could be framed a bit better (too much sky, not enough water), but there are two things I'm immediately reminded of: the joy of two-player mode and the exploding bridges. That's instant nostalgia for fans of the game!

And really, it's not like remakes would ever get a chance to get into the contest outright, so you might as well group it all into one entity, even if it's the original. If they threw a REMake pic up for the original RE, I wouldn't mind. Whatever let's a singular game showcase its full popularity, I'm all for it, as fans of the remakes will never get to show that in a contest otherwise.

Not really. Rydia beat Marcus Fenix in a battle for third. This isn't that impressive! Kain's match was the more impressive of the two.

No. I mean, you could might get away with a pic of Cloud in his AC outfit, but I doubt it even then. FFVII and AC are two different things.

While not a remake, it is a FF7 property, and someone said that they should be able to use everything of popularity to the game, and its not like Advent Children is a seperate game.

Pokemon FR/LG - fair game (although it doesn't matter since artwork will probably be used regardless)
FFT:War of the Lions - fair game
FF Origins, Dawn of Souls - fair game
SSFIIHDRemix - fair game! <_<;

There's no real reason to use Advent Children stuff for FFVII. There's no shortage of pics you could use from the original game, which would be better for it than something from AC. With FFIV, the new artwork kills the old Amano stuff, so there's reason to want to use it. Same for most other remakes.

SBAllen probably doesn't think the source too throughly. I mean he did let a action figure pic through. Some as high profile as Kingdom Hearts Cloud might not fly, but you could probably get away with more obscure stuff.
