From: WarThaNemesis2 | #199 TF2 still won a match we considered pretty even though, and right now Batman:AA's as good a bet as any other for being the top game from 2009 in this contest. The L4D-games just don't compare to the games from the Orange Box, either. We have to give the rest of the Orange Box games their shot this round just because L4D2 and Gears 2 are weak and newcomers; we have little more than nothing reliable to say about their R1-performances other than we've seen they can score blow-outs now. That's nice, but that won't matter again for them this contest --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg EPONA EPONA EPONA |

From: BlAcK TuRtLe | #201 I may go with Mario Kart before SSB in that regard. We've debated this before; they'd have a good match. --- Where's your horse? http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg |

I'd
never even heard of SSB before Melee came out on the Gamecube. *Shrugs*
It's kinda like arguing about Street Fighter 2 vs. Street Fighter 4,
then trying to bring Street Fighter 1 into the debate like it actually
matters in this contest. --- PSN - Aevio Playing: Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes |

It's
kind of strange- Melee has shown us a more impressive ASV than Brawl
has in the past, but the trend is reversed for the Halo games here.
Also, this match is making me feel worse about Melee being able to
60-40 Brawl- if Halo can't do it to Halo 3, I wouldn't expect Melee to
be able to SFF Brawl that badly, because they should be closer than
Halo and Halo 3 in strength. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

creativename | Posted 11/22/2010 3:56:01 PM | message detail |
From: UltimaterializerX | #198 No. Melee is the sequel. The fact that Melee is much bigger than SSB is my entire point - Melee would *have* to be Halo 2 in the comparison, yet there are no similarities there whatsoever. The analogy fails on every level. Also saying "no one cared" an exaggeration, Smash 64 was pretty popular and owned by a large percentage of N64 owners. It just wouldn't have near the strength of Melee/Brawl here. From: BlAcK TuRtLe | #201 This isn't even an argument. Goldeneye was the #1 multiplayer game for the N64 (I'm not talking in contest terms, but rather real life terms). Honorable mention Mario Kart. From: red sox 777 | #208 I said earlier that I expect the winner to get under 55% there. I agree with you and I'd be quite surprised if the winner 60/40d the loser. I think the people expecting a blowout there will be incorrect. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

60/40
is more an Ulti joke than anything else. I doubt more than a few people
actually believe the winner can win that convincingly. Well, it's sort of a Mario/Samus situation, where the games are very close but there is potential for SFF to overwhelmingly favor one side. It's the kind of match where even if you predict Melee with 60%, you still think there's a good chance Brawl will win outright. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

Yeah all my friends played the original SSB, that's why we were so psyched about it when it was coming out for Gamecube. Still, wasn't nearly as big as Melee. Of course, few things were as big as Melee. Kinda like FFVI was really popular but can't compare to FFVII --- "nah, it's not my team if I drop pitchers for merely being horrible" -War13104 |

I'm
digging the Morrowind pic. Too bad it's going to get...um...smashed.
(didn't intend a pun there but it was the first word that came to mind!) Really like the ToV/Brawl pic. Great looking pic there. Bioshock vs. KH2 looks great as well. Mega Man has a bit of an "uh oh...I'm ****ed" expression on his face. And of course Okami pics are always awesome looking, it seems like it's not possible to have bad pics for that game/character. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

From: AlecTrevelyan006 | #224 I don't know where all this Melee love is coming from. I didn't even know anyone that owned a cube, and only played Melee when I got a Wii, and to me, Melee doesn't compare to either SSB or especially Brawl. The characters felt floaty and weak, Kirby was nerfed to hell, and half of the characters were pallette swaps. Melee was ass. --- http://i49.tinypic.com/2ry672r.jpg |

From: BlAcK TuRtLe | #228 I didn't think it was a massive difference, but with the same series I figured it would be a bigger factor. --- ~Acting on Impulse~ |
transients | Posted 11/22/2010 4:34:21 PM | message detail |
TOP OPTION FACTOR IS A JOKE, MAN. A JOKE. BT's arguments are just bad, no need to respond to them. I really like that God of War / Tales of Symphonia pic. is everyone in here still thinking GOW has that locked up? I sure don't after seeing some of the other results. --- xyzzy |
BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 11/22/2010 4:34:57 PM | message detail |
It's
not a factor at all. The only possible case I could ever see it would
be something like Shin Megame Persona vs Demons Soul, where noone has
any idea what either game is. Even then I doubt it. --- http://i49.tinypic.com/2ry672r.jpg |

From: transients | #230 If my arguments are bad, you should have no trouble countering them. And lets just say after the GoW2 flop, I'll be banking on that match, and I historically underrate the Fails series by how crappy it is. --- http://i49.tinypic.com/2ry672r.jpg |

red sox 777 | Posted 11/22/2010 5:20:18 PM | message detail |
The
fact that you call Melee floaty and Brawl not is astounding. Did you
only use Mewtwo and Samus in Melee, and only the least floaty
characters in Brawl or something? Though about only Gamecube owners playing Melee- that may explain why it does in the ASV/worse in the late night than Brawl. The GC was much stronger in North America than elsewhere, so Melee should be more skewed toward North America. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

They won't be going away today. And yes, I have Halo 1. For the next division, I picked MP > DMC3, Okami > MM9, God of War > ToS, and HL2 > GTA III. Picking GoW could potentially bust up my battle brackets, but I'm not too worried on that match.

Anybody who says that SSBM is ass is kidding themselves to bustedtown. Seriously, WTF kind of an opinion is that? I think SSBM is hugely overrated on this board and GameFAQs but oh it's DEFINITELY a very good game, there's zero doubt about that. I like Brawl more but just feel that Melee can hold its own...actually now I'm deciding who to vote for in Melee vs. Brawl!

From: transients | #230 Not a lock (was it ever a lock, though?), but still a clear favorite. I know some people were disappointed in GoW2, but I think it did an alright job. That's just what a console Zelda would do to most things in this bracket. Either way, the original GoW still looked good, and I have trouble believing that it's only like 2% stronger than Resident Evil 5. --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

I didn't even know anyone that owned a cube Yeah, I didn't know anyone who owned a PS1. Still doesn't change the fact (let that word sink in for a second) that FFVII is the most popular FF game. And we already had this argument before. Goldeneye > MarioKart 64 > SSB64 in terms of real life, but SSB would most likely beat MK64 on this site because of how skewed this site is towards the SSB series. --- Good Times, Great Memories |

Looking for an impressive performance from Metroid Prime tonight- the trend is of pre-Wii Nintendo games doing well so far. I doubt that one, especially in a night match which Metroid Prime sucks with the night vote and DMC3 is very good with it. I don't trust Metroid Prime to overperform when the trends will hold it back from looking impressive. DMC3 is very good in Asia and Europe. Metroid is bottom of the barrel in Asia's Nintendo hierarchy, while it's just bad in Europe. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4077®ion=EUR http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4078®ion=EUR Metroid Prime does about 3% worse in Europe, although Star Ocean probably isn't the sort of game that would be popular in Europe in the first place. DMC3 performs almost 6.5% better in Europe. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |

Match LXIX: (1) Metroid Prime vs. (9) Devil May Cry 3 Last Round Metroid Prime – 73.34% Star Ocean: Till the End of Time – 26.66% Mother 3 – 35.14% Devil May Cry 3 – 64.86% Analysis Personally I was slightly disappointed in Metroid Prime’s performance, but that doesn’t even compare to the egg that Devil May Cry 3 laid last round. I admit that it was a bit wrong to think Mother 3 was totally unknown to the GameFAQs population due to it not being released in North America, but I still stand by that the game is one of the weakest in the bracket. It comes to no surprise to me that the Devil May Cry series is weak on GameFAQs, but I didn’t think the game would have been that weak. To put that match a bit into perspective if Mother 3 was equal to Earthbound Devil May Cry the game would roughly be as strong as Yoshi’s Island and I would already take Metroid Prime over that game. I know pre-contest there were a few people arguing for an upset, mostly due to the lack of faith in Metroid Prime, but for that to happen Devil May Cry 3 would have to be significantly stronger than the original and that Mother 3 has some hidden strength for some bizarre reason. Doing some quick comparisons Metroid Prime does have a chance at doubling Devil May Cry 3, but I feel that the game will come up short. Metroid Prime didn’t exactly inspire us that it had that kind of strength last round. A doubling would be pretty good for the game’s bid at winning this division or at the very least it would showcase just how weak the Devil May Cry series is on this site. charmander6000’s Bracket: Metroid Prime > Devil May Cry 3 charmander6000’s Prediction: Metroid Prime wins, 64.19% - 35.81% --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls GotD Bracket: 60/68 Today's Matches: Uncharted 2 & Halo |
