Simple Explanation of Extrapolated Standings:
A = Strongest Character
B = Character Weaker than A
C = Character Weaker than B
To figure out a character's Xsts Percentage ---> [(CvB)(BvA)]/50 = CvA
To compare how C would do against B ---> [(CvA)/(BvA)]*50 = CvB
To figure out how B would do against A ---> [(CvA)/(CvB)]*50 = BvA

show that Ness' popularity has a large base outside smash brothers

That would be good match only because Fox would have no trouble at all with winning.

---
"I haven't invested as much time into any game as I have [Twilight Princess]." -- Shigeru Miyamoto

I'd take Fox there. The SSB/M advantage goes to him, and the Star Fox series -- hell, arguably even SF64 by itself -- is bigger here than EB. The Fox we saw in 2k2 and 2k3 could arguably give Ness a loss, and since then the SF:A's and The Boost have hit.

If Ness won that match, it'd be because Star Fox isn't appreciated at all here...and my bottom dollar says that's wrong.

SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Ramza, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden

Don't rule out Ness over fox guys... I know this is based off of 2k3 Fox which is out of date, but 2k5 Ness would be predicted to get 57.28% against 2k3 Fox. I know it doesn't mean Ness will win, but it does mean it would be closer than I think you give credit.

2k3 Fox that had a direct SFF matchup against Link? Ummm... yeah.

2k5 Ness had a direct SFF matchup against Mario, who some will argue is better at SFF than Link.

Well Ness gets 53.75% against 2k2 Fox >.>

I guess Assualt would help him, and I don't know how old Adventures is...

Because it is seen as more well-liked.

Halo was the "out of nowhere console saver" that was legendary.

Halo 2 was just the sequel.

Statistically, Halo 2 should be stronger, but were they to face each other, I'd take Halo.

I don't think it would, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were indirectly stronger (it's the whole Mario/Samus argument again). Halo 2 sold more, but the game exploded onto the scene for about three months and quickly tapered off (much like all big release Xbox games). The original Halo, on the other hand, is the only exception. It carried the Xbox banner strongly for three years.
---
Board 8: Where people treat each other right.

Halo 2 was more than "just a sequel." It is arguably the most hyped game to date (though SMB3 most likely deserves that title). It piled up the highest number of pre-orders in history, shattering the previous record. It made a tremendous jump in online players and subscriptions. I think it was the first game to also have a map-pack released and sold as well.

Halo 1's only advantage is that it was first. That's not enough. In fact, looking at your logic, SMB would beat SMB3.
---
Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here:

I have a hard time imagining someone who would vote for Halo 2 and not Halo. I have an easier time imagining someone who liked Halo but was turned off by the changes they made in H2, and would vote against it.

H2 may have brought some new fans to the franchise, but they would probably support either game of the franchise if it were up against something like StarCraft. But the people who were turned off by H2 and turned their back on the latest in the franchise would be less likely to support.

I'd expect the two to be neck and neck in the x-stats, but for Halo to SFFlaughter it in a direct matchup.

---

And I'd compare it to Goldeneye vs Perfect Dark. PD came later, improved on all aspects, blew away the old multiplayer, was a better game overall... yet will always play second fiddle. Because GE was the game that carried the banner and sold N64s and got everyone in America playing at their friend's houses after school, just as Halo did in the past generation.

The original Halo, on the other hand, is the only exception. It carried the Xbox banner strongly for three years.

Then again though, it didn't really have a choice. The Xbox library was a good deal more lackluster in Halo's prime than Halo 2's prime, not to mention there still being some dissent amongst Halo fans about which game in their series is better...oh, and a new system from Microsoft was a year away from Halo 2's release. I'm not surprised it didn't last as long.


I would expect no SFF or blowout in a Halo 1/Halo 2, but I would still feel good about Halo 2's chances.

It piled up the highest number of pre-orders in history, shattering the previous record.

And the record holder before that? The Wind Waker, which would struggle to crack 25% on Ocarina of Time. Really, it's not about hype. In addition, the sales difference is not as large as most would believe (not like sales have really mattered, anyway).

Halo 1's only advantage is that it was first.

Part of me disagrees. I have a feeling that people who don't care about the Halo series or the Xbox (a very large percentage of the GameFAQs population), will be more inclined to vote for the original.

That's not enough. In fact, looking at your logic, SMB would beat SMB3.

Actually, I'd take Halo 2 over Halo in a direct match. I just think Halo might be stronger indirectly.
---
Board 8: Where people treat each other right.

Yeah, and Halo 2 has Xbox Live and an insanely popular multiplayer to counter that. And I don't see many people who "turned their back" on Halo 2. Sure there are some people that prefer the original to the sequel, but there are plenty of people that prefer Halo 2. I can't believe this is even an issue...

And I'd compare it to Goldeneye vs Perfect Dark. PD came later, improved on all aspects, blew away the old multiplayer, was a better game overall... yet will always play second fiddle. Because GE was the game that carried the banner and sold N64s and got everyone in America playing at their friend's houses after school, just as Halo did in the past generation.

Interesting comparison, but at the same time, I would argue that -- if you were to rename Perfect Dark to Goldeneye 007-2 and put the original characters back in -- PD would be acknowledged as the better game by so many more people. As is though, PD sold less, wasn't a true sequel, and lacked the same hype or excitement GE had. Halo 2 sold more than Halo, was a true sequel, and arguably had more hype and excitement than the original.

Problem: GE sold ~3 times as well as PD did. That alone is enough to make the difference.
---
Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent.

I knew GE was a damn-good seller, but three times what PD sold? Holy ****...either I didn't realize GE didn't sell that much or I'm thinkin' PD sold more than it really did. Have you got the numbers nearby?

US sales:

Goldeneye: 5,019,000
Perfect Dark: 1,297,000

---
Board 8: Where people treat each other right.

Heh, I actually didn't have the US sales for GE, because it wasn't on the JP top 50 list, while PD was. I knew it was around 8M worldwide though, and figured at least half that was in North America. Looks like I still managed to underestimated GE's popularity.
---
Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent.

Ah; for whatever reason, I was thinkin' PD was just over 2m. That's probably a mix of world-sales and guessing on my part though.

No it wasn't, SM64 sold 5.9M and MK64 did almost as well with 4.8M.
---
Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent.

I would *easily* take Halo over Halo 2. Every indication I have ever had from the fanbase, from the message boards to Halo parties in college, indicates that the preference is clearly toward Halo. I can't see it finishing lower than Halo 2 even without the drop-down list, and I can't see Halo 2 finishing ahead of it even with it.

There are many reasons why Halo 2 is less liked than Halo, too (heh). The biggest of which being the horribly received ending.

Yes, but you have to consider the people who played Goldeneye without ever owning it. I know that in my old group of about five buddies, we were all Goldeneye freaks despite the fact that only one of us owned the game.
