So we're going to go back to using the character contest to determine strength of things we haven't seen in action yet? Nice.

Xenogears beat Pokemon GSC though. Who's to say Pokemon hasn't gained
more fans since 2k4 (Nintendo Boost), who's to say Xenogears didn't get
support from those who didn't play it but played Xenosaga, and who's to
say Star Ocean is surely more popular than Xeno? --- Xbox 360 melts disks! And people made jokes about the PS3 being a grill. ~bokunokuso |

yeah, SO didn't even get a second thought when I filled out my bracket.
Pokemon wins that pretty easily. SO3 is more popular than some people
realize, but it's still not close to Pokemon. it'd need a serious batch
of antivotes to lose. --- xyzzy |

almost makes it certain to lose by default. >_> --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

gained more fans since 2k4 (Nintendo Boost), who's to say Xenogears
didn't get support from those who didn't play it but played Xenosaga,
and who's to say Star Ocean is surely more popular than Xeno? What reason has there been for Pokemon to gain more fans? We saw the Nintendo Boost mostly apply to Mario characters, lesser so to Zelda characters, almost nothing to Samus, and something to Kirby. I doubt it did much at all to change the opinion of Pokemon. And if it were a match of "Xeno v. Star Ocean," I would be taking Star Ocean. Star Ocean 3 was really a big game at this site for a long time, it's more or less a Square RPG, and has sold really well. It's entirely possible that there's still anti-votes from Pokemon that could help it out too. Star Ocean over Pokemon isn't some sort of lock or obvious choice, but it's still something worth considering. That match is going to be a lot different than people here are giving credit for. There's still Pokemon R/B/Y to consider, which is what I'm debating with myself about, but that would be the primary reason for it winning more than anything. yeah, SO didn't even get a second thought when I filled out my bracket. Pokemon wins that pretty easily. SO3 is more popular than some people realize, but it's still not close to Pokemon. it'd need a serious batch of antivotes to lose. If it doesn't win, Pokemon will not win easily. I would bet a lot against that. SO3 is a lot more popular than people do give credit for, you're right about that. It's not something like Tales of Symphonia that is primarily a board thing. Pokemon R/B/Y are the main reasons for Pokemon being pretty strong, I would imagine. Pokemon G/S/C were rather weak, and I would imagine the later Pokemon's would follow suit. Star Ocean 2 is a pretty popular RPG as well. --- "Princess, there's no need for worry.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1618 Hardly a raping. I would fully expect Red/Blue to perform like that indirectly against Gold/Silver/Crystal. Besides, I highly doubt Xenogears did not get some substantial SFF against FFVII. Sure Star Ocean 3 might have been on the top 10 FAQS for a while, but so has Pokemon. In fact Top 10 placement was the exact reason Pikachu was overrated in 2003. --- "What's wrong with boot blacking? I like it very much." |

What's your reason for taking Xenogears over SO with 58 percent? SO3
was pretty goddamn big when it came out. There's nothing in my mind
that tells me Xenogears would beat SO with more than 55 percent, and
that's being generous IMO. That coupled with potential pokemon hate
dying down, and R/B/Y being added into the mix, I think we have the
makings for a very down the middle match-up. You're crazy if you think
Pokemon has it all locked up, and Board 8 is asking for Pokemon to rape
their brackets if everyone takes it over SO no questions asked. Sure
it's only 1 point, but with a bracket of not much difficulty, it could
be a huge point. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids |

I would take Xenogears over any Star Ocean game with 58% (What it got on Pokemon) or more. I wouldn't even take Xenogears period. Much less with 58% of the vote against SO3. But I would assume you're thinking that Xenogears got some SFF or something because there's no way that SO3 is on par with Pokemon G/S/C. Sales and FAQ listings aren't real good reasons to argue against Pokemon with. I'm just trying to point out that SO3 isn't just some random RPG. Not really that SO3 beats out Pokemon in sales or anything. --- "Princess, there's no need for worry. Who do you think I am? I'm the hero of the story. And the hero never dies." |

Pokemon isn't as hated now as it was - or at least that's my opinion. I
recently read the Game Contest's stats topics and it was incredible how
much Pokemon hate there was here. I realize that the board is not
indicative of the entire population, but I think Pokemon will be
considerably stronger than it was in 2k4. --- xyzzy |

The thing about the match is the sheer unpredictability of both series.
We've simply never seen anything star ocean ever perform in the
contest, and pokemon could be a lot stronger than s/g's performance
would suggest. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

My experience with viewing the popularity of pokemon on the gamefaqs
boards in general from when I first came here to now, is that a lot of
the hate has gone away. At the very least users who hate it are a lot
less vocal about their hatred now, and it seems to just be less "Cool"
in general to hate pokemon. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

I really don't think Pokemon would be much stronger, if it at all, than
it was in 2004, myself. I don't think you have many people who hated
Pokemon then and like it now. Not that I think anti-votes are going to
be the reason for Star Ocean to win, but I still think they'll
definitely be present. I think Star Ocean is going to have some
strength that people aren't giving credit for, on top of Pokemon not
being any type of powerhouse franchise. --- "Princess, there's no need for worry. Who do you think I am? I'm the hero of the story. And the hero never dies." |

What? Since when was Star Ocean "big"? Sure, it had some ads, but I
wouldn't take it over Tales of Symphonia by much. It being Square
doesn't make it any less obscure. Just look at who made Suikoden, Konami. It's still pretty damn obscure. --- Raiden is still [!!] nominations short! http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=27664244 |

Glad to see I'm not the only one that's torn on Mario Kart/Mega Man.
We've never seen either series represented in the contests, though if
it's the entire series of each, Mega Man should win with ease. The
catch is how smart the voters are and/or whether or not they think of
MM's entire series (well over 100 games) when seeing the name. And with that said, there's Mario > Mega SFF to worry about. Dammit. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game. Ever." Contest Currently Playing: Resident Evil 4, KH:COM (Sora), Larussa 92 (NYY), NSMB, WC3: Frozen Throne |

Well does Super Mario 64 count as SMB? I don't think it does. People
would have to be confused enough to assume that the "Super Mario
Brother" series includes ALL of Mario platforming games. I don't think they needed to be confused so much as lightly apathetic. You want to nominate the Mario series, so you nominate the first thing that comes to your mind- Super Mario Bros. To me, that represents all of Mario, including through today. I highly doubt the voters will ignore his other, newer games and just vote for those older ones. --- Revenge is a dish best served cold. ~ Old Klingon Proverb |

Fact or Fiction: Star Ocean has a fighting chance against Pokemon. Fiction. Pokemon has a fighting chance againt Star Ocean. ^.~ Fact or Fiction: Metroid will SFF Kirby AND Pokemon. Fiction. Metroid won't get a chance to face Pokemon. Fact or Fiction: The Legend of Zelda will at least TRIPLE Metroid. Ohh... that's a tough one. I see LoZ with something like 70%. I'll say Fiction. Fact or Fiction: Zelda at least doubles everything in its division. Fiction. Fact or Fiction: Fire Emblem/Silent Hill is the lowest-scoring match of the contest. If you're talking about votals, Fact. Fact or Fiction: Halo/Castlevania will be the closest first-round match. Fiction. Halo will win comfortably. Fact or Fiction: Kingdom Hearts vs. Halo/Castlevania will be the closest second-round match. Eh... another tough one, close with Sonic/SBB in my mind, but due to Halo's nature of coming ridiculously close to everything it faces, Fact. Fact or Fiction: Metal Gear will lose before the Final Four. Fiction. Fact or Fiction: Super Mario Brothers will break 90% on Madden. Fact. Fact or Fiction: Warcraft has a realistic chance of beating Grand Theft Auto. Fiction. Fact or Fiction: Sonic/Smash Brothers will be the most split match in the BOP. Fiction. I have a feeling most people will side with Smash. Fact or Fiction: Mario Kart has a chance of upsetting Mega Man. Fiction. Fact or Fiction: Street Fighter will fail to get out of the first round...again. I'm truly torn... but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. Fiction. Fact or Fiction: In the event of Street Fighter/Resident Evil, there WILL be SFF. Fiction. At least not enough where it's noticable. Fact or Fiction: The Elder Scrolls can make the divisional finals. Fiction. If it gets by SF, RE will smack it down. Fact or Fiction: We will have a match break 100,000 before the Final Four. Fact. SSB vs. Sonic baybee. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids |

Fact: Star Ocean has a fighting chance against Pokemon. Not only does it stand a fighting chance, but it's going to win. Fact: Metroid will SFF Kirby AND Pokemon. Fact: The Legend of Zelda will at least TRIPLE Metroid. Fact: Zelda at least doubles everything in its division. Fact: Fire Emblem/Silent Hill is the lowest-scoring match of the contest. Fiction: Halo/Castlevania will be the closest first-round match. I'm thinking that could not be close at all whereas others might be right down to the wire. Fiction: Kingdom Hearts vs. Halo/Castlevania will be the closest second-round match. I think Sonic/SSB might be a bit closer. Fiction: Metal Gear will lose before the Final Four. I'm really anxious to try to take Kingdom Hearts though ... << Fiction: Super Mario Brothers will break 90% on Madden. I think Madden could manage 10%. Fiction: Warcraft has a realistic chance of beating Grand Theft Auto. Fiction: Sonic/Smash Brothers will be the most split match in the BOP. It looks like SSB is far more favored on the board, almost not even giving Sonic a chance. Fact: Mario Kart has a chance of upsetting Mega Man. It has a chance, but Mario Kart won't do it. Fiction: Street Fighter will fail to get out of the first round...again. Fact: In the event of Street Fighter/Resident Evil, there WILL be SFF. Fiction: The Elder Scrolls can make the divisional finals. Fact: We will have a match break 100,000 before the Final Four. I think Sonic/SSB, Metal Gear/Kingodm Hearts, and a few others stand a good chance. --- "Princess, there's no need for worry. Who do you think I am? I'm the hero of the story.

Fiction: Star Ocean has a fighting chance against Pokemon. Depends on
what fighting chance is. I think Pokemon takes it without too much
trouble. Fact: Metroid will SFF Kirby AND Pokemon. It won't SFF Kirby by all that much though. Pokemon has no chance to survive. Fiction: The Legend of Zelda will at least TRIPLE Metroid. Metroid DOES have a core fanbase, even though it's not that big. It's enough to keep it from getting tripled though. Fact: Zelda at least doubles everything in its division. Fact: Fire Emblem/Silent Hill is the lowest-scoring match of the contest. Fiction: Halo/Castlevania will be the closest first-round match. Fiction: Kingdom Hearts vs. Halo/Castlevania will be the closest second-round match. Fiction: Metal Gear will lose before the Final Four. Fact: Super Mario Brothers will break 90% on Madden. Fiction: Warcraft has a realistic chance of beating Grand Theft Auto. Fiction: Sonic/Smash Brothers will be the most split match in the BOP. Fact: Mario Kart has a chance of upsetting Mega Man. Mega Man winning would actually be the upset! Fiction: Street Fighter will fail to get out of the first round...again. Fiction: In the event of Street Fighter/Resident Evil, there WILL be SFF. That's silly. Just because they are from the same company doesn't mean they share the same fanbase. That's like saying Mega Man/Dante would have SFF. Capcom is probably the most diverse company out there. Fiction: The Elder Scrolls can make the divisional finals. Fact: We will have a match break 100,000 before the Final Four. Perhaps more later. Time for the NBA Finals now. --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

What? Since when was Star Ocean "big"? Sure, it had some ads, but I
wouldn't take it over Tales of Symphonia by much. It being Square
doesn't make it any less obscure. I would take Star Ocean 3 over Tales of Symphonia without a second thought. The latter become popular primarily due to the lack of RPGs on the GameCube, whereas SO3 was popular despite being an RPG infested platform. SO3 ended up selling more too. Star Ocean is not a huge RPG franchise, but it's hardly obscure. --- "Princess, there's no need for worry. Who do you think I am? I'm the hero of the story. And the hero never dies." |

Fact or Fiction: Star Ocean has a fighting chance against Pokemon. True, although I'm still giving pokemon the edge, and the win in my bracket. Fact or Fiction: Metroid will SFF Kirby AND Pokemon. Unsure. Fact or Fiction: The Legend of Zelda will at least TRIPLE Metroid. A tripling is getting 75% or more, correct? I'm going to go with false, although a doubling could be possible. Fact or Fiction: Zelda at least doubles everything in its division. I'm going to go with true. If it doesn't it stands no chance at final fantasy I think. Fact or Fiction: Fire Emblem/Silent Hill is the lowest-scoring match of the contest. Fiction. Resident evil/ shadow hearts will be the lowest scoring match. This of course is assuming you mean votes by score... Fact or Fiction: Halo/Castlevania will be the closest first-round match. Maybe, but there are other contenders for this. Fact or Fiction: Kingdom Hearts vs. Halo/Castlevania will be the closest second-round match. That's a funny way of spelling elder scrolls vs. resident evil. >_> Fact or Fiction: Metal Gear will lose before the Final Four. False. It falls to SMB. Fact or Fiction: Super Mario Brothers will break 90% on Madden True. I think madden is going to be serious fodder. Fact or Fiction: Warcraft has a realistic chance of beating Grand Theft Auto. True. Fact or Fiction: Sonic/Smash Brothers will be the most split match in the BOP. False. Final fantasy/zelda will IMO. Fact or Fiction: Mario Kart has a chance of upsetting Mega Man. I don't think so but I don't exactly expect MK to be weak, so maybe. Fact or Fiction: Street Fighter will fail to get out of the first round...again. True... We need a gordan freemanesque rule for any game contest. SFNW. Fact or Fiction: In the event of Street Fighter/Resident Evil, there WILL be SFF. False, I think the genres are too different for thereto be any noticable SSF. Fact or Fiction: The Elder Scrolls can make the divisional finals. That's the upset my bracket is riding on, but it probably won't. Fact or Fiction: We will have a match break 100,000 before the Final Four. True. I think MMX vs. LOZ stands a chance at this. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

Fact: Star Ocean has a fighting chance against Pokemon. I forgot
Xenogears beat G/S/C, but I still have Pokemon winning cause I can't
see SO being too strong. Still, Pokemon is weak too. Fiction: Metroid will SFF Kirby AND Pokemon. Kirby, maybe. It'll just crush Pokemon, no SFF needed. Fact: The Legend of Zelda will at least TRIPLE Metroid. We've seen major SFF between LoZ and Metroid before. Triple may be a bit much, but I think LoZ is going to pull it off. Fact: Zelda at least doubles everything in its division. Funny how MMX will get the closest, but that should be around a doubling. Fact: Fire Emblem/Silent Hill is the lowest-scoring match of the contest. Don't see any more matches more sad than this. Fiction: Halo/Castlevania will be the closest first-round match. Just because it was the hardest R1 match pick for me, doesn't mean it will be the closest. There are other contenders much more likely. Fact: Kingdom Hearts vs. Halo/Castlevania will be the closest second-round match. This is more likely, but SSB/Sonic will give it a run. Fiction: Metal Gear will lose before the Final Four. Hard to see it losing it's division. Fact: Super Mario Brothers will break 90% on Madden. This is more of a hope than anything. Fiction: Warcraft has a realistic chance of beating Grand Theft Auto. Yeah, it's Blizzard, but it's facing GTA. Fact: Sonic/Smash Brothers will be the most split match in the BOP. Either this or the KH/Halo/CV triangle. Fact: Mario Kart has a chance of upsetting Mega Man. MK is going to be underrated in this match, I can see it pulling the upset. Fiction: Street Fighter will fail to get out of the first round...again. Elder Scrolls? Even SF can beat that. Fiction: In the event of Street Fighter/Resident Evil, there WILL be SFF. It won't be a blowout, but not too close. Fiction: The Elder Scrolls can make the divisional finals. Really? Fact: We will have a match break 100,000 before the Final Four. Sonic/SSB might. --- Moltar Status: Eagerly awaiting for the next Contest to begin. |

People honestly think Castlevania stands a chance at beating Halo?
Jesus H. Christ. Halo is far more mainstream than Castlevania ever has
been or ever will be. 55% at minimum for Halo. Metal Gear/Kingdom Hearts is the only match I even had to think twice about. On the whole, a very easy bracket. --- "Thank you, Mario. But our princess is in another castle." -Toad in Super Mario Bros. |
