is Duke even in the nostalgia zone everyone who thought he was cool is elderly or dead at this point For your Azuarc . At least Kupo has class and doesn't MESSAGE the people -Dr Pizza |
I'd guess the percentage of this site who have actually played Duke Nukem 3D or its ports is fairly low. [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO Azuarc NO PEACE] |
Duke survives over Altair...I'm guessing Marth > Duke overall. O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://i.imgur.com/OpudFxm.jpg |

It
was great to see Luigi beat Bowser. I wonder if that part holds today. I
feel like Liquid doesn't finish first now, but is there a chance that
Luigi and Bowser finish 1st and 2nd in whatever order? |
Liquid's most recent performance is from 2010, where he did this: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3745-chaos-division-round-1-altair-vs-liquid-snake He was a 15 Seed in that contest, meaning he almost missed getting in at all. Dude then skipped 2013 and 2018. For someone who put on such a clinic in 2010, the boost seemed to fade once the MGS fanbase collectively realized he It's Reyn Time.

Vaguely
interesting to me that virtually no one's first experience with GTA3 on
this website was the Definitive Edition. Suggests that at least some of
these remasters and re-makes are overwhelmingly selling to people who
played the originals. I'd like to see that tested with the same poll ran
for Resident Evil 2 (which, unlike GTAIII/VC, was an actual remake that
received strong reviews; it's one of my favourite games of the last few
years). We are living our lives Abound with so much information (edited 10/22/2023 5:58:37 AM)report |
KamikazePotato posted... once the MGS fanbase collectively realized he Nah I still credit him as THE villain of MGS. You have to assume almost everything was what he would have done besides like the twist-y stuff. Mind you, I haven't played MGS4 since like 2010 so my memory is pretty bad. |
Eh, I feel like MGS pretty clearly paints Ocelot as the grand mastermind of the series |

UltimaterializerX posted... Technically it’s (ugh) No, it's not. He wants to be, but the entirety of the present day games is Ocelot outwitting him. |
Leonhart4 posted... Eh, I feel like MGS pretty clearly paints Ocelot as the grand mastermind of the series By the end of the series, sure. But that's not how you're supposed to feel until then. |
pjbasis posted... By the end of the series, sure. But that's not how you're supposed to feel until then. Which is why the twist that he is the real mastermind turns out to be so great (edited 10/22/2023 12:27:49 PM)report |
Maybe
the secret to Liquid keeping his strength is not being associated with
'modern' MGS, because boy the Ocelot trend points to him getting weaker
with every game. If only he had a contest appearance on just Metal Gear
Solid maybe he'd have been a threat to kill the Noble Nine before it was
a thing. Not a stinky alien. :( Nintendo Switch Code: SW-5719-6555-8388 |
technically Liquid is associated with modern MGS because |
Liquid probably hasn't maintained his strength, people just don't care enough to even nominate him anymore. [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO Azuarc NO PEACE] |
Yeah, Liquid at least had the foresight to disappear after Altair clowned him. |
It seriously isn’t "Ulti you stone cold ninja bastard." -Suprak "The enemy of my enemy is also my enemy." |
UltimaterializerX posted... It seriously isn’t |
How does he do it? Not being sarcastic, I don’t remember. "Ulti you stone cold ninja bastard." -Suprak "The enemy of my enemy is also my enemy." |

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3279-division-2-round-2-mario-zelda-mega-man-x-mudkip So much Nintendo. And you have to believe Zelda would probably be the favorite now. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, azuarc, winner of Game of the Decade! |
Or Zelda and Mario would split the vote too much and now MMX would win |
I would pick Mario over Zelda in a rematch again. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to azuarc, the winner of the Game of the Decade II guru contest. |
Nintendo
already has 70% of the vote there and Mega Man X is still a powerhouse.
I fully expect Zelda to do much better against Mario if not
potentially beat him again (especially post-TotK), but I don't know how
much harder they can wring percentages out of MMX or a Pokemon. Mario's
also having a big time right now with the Mario movie, Wonder just now
releasing to great reviews, and having two Mario RPG remasters announced
for within the next year. Seems to me Mario and Zelda will squabble while MMX slips into first place. O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://i.imgur.com/OpudFxm.jpg |
HaRRicH posted... but I don't know how much harder they can wring percentages out of MMX or a Pokemon.X could potentially stay stable here, but I don't know about the staying power of a third gen Pokemon who was in part running on meme power at the time.

Yeah, rerun the poll today and I'd expect Mudkip to get half that number of votes. All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |
So
then Mario + Zelda + half of Mudkip still is 60% of the poll, and
Mario/Zelda are probably near 50/50 like the last contest. MMX had
29.98% and could remain pretty stable. Just not a lot of wiggle room to beat MMX in that scenario either...would be close, but I'd still have to favor the Blue Bomber due to Zelda's rise in the ranks. O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://i.imgur.com/OpudFxm.jpg |
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3280-division-3-round-2-samus-nightmare-ganondorf-frog I feel like everyone goes up at the expense of Nightmare, but the order stays the same. Tears of the Kingdom probably prevents Frog from being able to overtake Ganondorf, unfortunately. |
Also,
if we interpret Samus vs. Mario 2018 and even Ganondorf improving on
his 2004 performance against Link that same year to mean that Nintendo
SFF isn't quite as potent or that the Nintendo hierarchy isn't quite as
rigid, that's not good news for Frog here. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, azuarc, winner of Game of the Decade! |
TotK Ganondorf is probably top 5 now |
I'd
say 7th is more likely. Snake was like 6th-ish last time and almost
beat Zelda so Dorf would probably need to have gotten at least as strong
as that to have a claim on top 5. Which is possible but also asking a
lot. Ganondorf > Mega Man would still be a pretty huge jump, overturning a 60-40 loss, albeit one with Bacondorf involved. [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO Azuarc NO PEACE] |
Ganondorf vs. Pikachu: who ya got? Ganondorf vs. Sonic: Could Heroic Mario finally be correct 15+ years later? |
Top
5 is Link, Cloud, Mario, Samus and Zelda. Zelda was so close with them
last time, and I have trouble seeing Ganondorf going on par with that.
Snake is a bit harder to determine imo, he has less reason to be
relevant though hopefully rereleases help. I think 6th is the highest reasonable guess and I wouldn't be comfortable with that. 7th maybe but I wouldn't be surprised if he hadn't gotten noticeably stronger either. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to azuarc, the winner of the Game of the Decade II guru contest. |
Related question: Where did Ganondorf rank in 2018? Characters I'd have taken over Dorf after that contest/before TotK: -Noble Nine -Zelda -Pikachu -Tifa -Mega Man X -Luigi -Bowser -Yoshi Asking Bacondorf to have been worth like a full 5% downgrade against Mega Man to put Dorf on par with Bowser/Yoshi's 45% on Pikachu/Crono sounds...possible but a little sketchy. So I'd go with 17th, maybe roughly on par or better than, like, Alucard, Zero, and Kirby (who possibly suffered slight FF). Vivi got 48% on Dorf so he'd probably be 21st or so. [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO Azuarc NO PEACE] |
I
really don't think Ganondorf has boosted nearly as much as you guys are
implying. Definitely not anywhere near what Zelda went through. It's Reyn Time. |
It's
hard to estimate where Ganondorf fell in 2018 because his two matches
in the second bracket were SFF against Link and Bacondorf against Mega
Man. In the main bracket, he put up 52% on Vivi, 56% on Dante, and 59%
on Chun-Li, which are good results, but not necessarily elite ones. I also don't think he'd boost anywhere near the level that Zelda did. |
Yeah those three are basically impossible to read anything off of. Vivi has boosted to the moon since 2010 and the only real match to get a read for him is....Donkey Kong. Dante didn't look hot, but also wasn't against anybody we have a read on. Chun-Li looked pretty bad against Spyro but ultimately came out looking great...but also Ryu kinda sucked? Not a stinky alien. :( Nintendo Switch Code: SW-5719-6555-8388 |
Well, how do we think Vivi would do compared to Squall, Aerith, or Auron? Is he stronger than them now? Zelda would have beaten Ganondorf pretty handily even without SFF if not. |
Squall, yes. 2018 Aerith, yes. Post-Remake Aerith, maybe. Auron, maybe - I think Vivi could've gotten the same % on Sub-Zero. It's Reyn Time. |
And Snake got 61.5% on Auron. So if Vivi = Auron, Zelda would've beaten Ganondorf with 60.17% |
Zelda straight-up beat Snake, so sounds about right. It's Reyn Time. |
That would also mean Vivi/Auron gets 52.08% on Squall and 50.59% on Aerith. So yeah, they're still not that far apart. (Vincent would get 46.12% on Squall and 44.73% on Aerith, so maybe he hasn't dropped quite as far as we originally thought) |
Well, it was common to compare Squall and Sonic back in the day, right? https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7372-finals-bracket-2-zelda-vs-sonic https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7342-division-5-semifinal-squall-vs-zelda That's, what, 44% on Sonic? Definitely a drop, but he's still strong. Just not a NN breaker. It's Reyn Time. |
Nah, that's 42.11%, unfortunately this just reminds me what a bummer it was that Sonic got announced for Brawl mid-contest in 2007 because otherwise Squall beats him and now he'll never get that Noble Nine win that Auron got over Sonic just a year later |
