And the debate over Sonic/Smash Bros. is absolutely baffling. *looks at 2004 X-stats( *Sonic 2: #33 Super Smash Bros. Melee: #6* *looks at the Top 10 from last year* *SSBM: #6 Sonic: nowhere in sight* The debate is over. --- "Thank you, Mario. But our princess is in another castle." -Toad in Super Mario Bros. |

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. I agree completely, I was just poking fun at yoblazer talking about MM. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids. |

And just by going through the bracket super quick, I think people are
being needlessly harsh on it. Difficult (or at least sort of
interesting) matches include: Pokemon/Star Ocean Metroid/Kirby Fire Emblem/Silent Hill Halo/Castlevania Warcraft/Grand Theft Auto (this one I'm actually confused about. Is warcraft not nearly as well regarded as Starcraft? Because from what I saw, people were siding with gta, easily) Megaman/ Mario Kart Street Fighter/The Elder Scrolls - I wouldn't overlook this match too much. Oblivion has been selling really well and its faq presence has been consistently strong. That's seven for the first round, based on who wins that leaves: Pokemon/Metroid - Yeah, pokemon is "hated" here, but what about evaluating it as a series? Kingdom Hearts/Halo - Halo did better on Starcraft, no? But, both had huge sequels between then and now, one's a bit more recent, so I'm staying with KH2. Sonic/Super Smash Bros - Difficult, difficult, difficult. Street Fighter/Resident Evil Four from that round, leaving: Metal Gear/Kingdom Hearts/Halo - We have Snake/Sora, but also some xstats from the games contest, and those are both before KH2. Super Mario Bros/Super Smash Bros- Okay, wishful thinking. leaving really just the inevitable big three clash. That seems like enough to me. All this perfect bracket talk isn't going to fall through; it never does. This bracket is okay, I think it has enough matches to keep the contest interesting. --- Revenge is a dish best served cold. ~ Old Klingon Proverb |

Popular in what sense? I wouldn't call it or ToS exceedingly popular, but whatever. Just as a whole. Again, it nor the franchise as a whole are huge, but by no means is it obscure. It got plenty of advertisement, it sold about 600,000 copies (which was like God of War levels before the price drop), and got a ton of high scores from reviewers. Not that I'm using it for strength in a contest, but it did really well on the Top FAQ thing too. So yeah, it's not a massively popular game, but it can hold its own. Star Ocean 2 was a fairly popular RPG on the PSX while we're at it, though not nearly as much. --- "Princess, there's no need for worry. Who do you think I am? I'm the hero of the story.

People seem to think Sonic will win because it has an entire series behind it. I don't think it works out quite like that. For something really popular franchises, I don't think it's going to be "Strongest Game v. Strongest Game." I don't know why people wouldn't take into consideration the entire series considering what type of contest we're having here. Sonic 3, Sonic 2, Sonic Adventure, Sonic CD, Sonic Adventure 2 against SSBM and SSB? I'd vote Sonic every time, sir~! --- "Princess, there's no need for worry. Who do you think I am?

Pokemon vs. Star Ocean shouldn't even be a debate, really. Star Ocean
is cult and no one outside of the RPG nerd community has ever heard of
it. I mean, Pikachu did
beat Parappa the Rapper, so antivotes can only factor in so much. And
besides, Pokemon as a whole is not as hated as much as Pikachu itself
is. --- "Thank you, Mario. But our princess is in another castle." -Toad in Super Mario Bros. |

Yeah. And people outside of this "RPG nerd community" have heard of Xenogears and not Star Ocean, right? Pfft. Star Ocean is a lot more popular than people are giving credit for. It's not obscure. That's something like Suikoden. While I'm at it, this website essentially is that community you're talking about.

Fact: Star Ocean has a fighting chance against Pokemon. I predict that this match will mirror Poke/Xeno despite any difference in strength between Xeno and SO. Fiction: Metroid will SFF Kirby AND Pokemon. Metroid will face Star Ocean, and Kirby will not self destruct against Metroid. Fiction: The Legend of Zelda will at least TRIPLE Metroid. It could happen, but I think Metroid will evade a beating that bad. Fact: Zelda at least doubles everything in its division. Civilization, MMX, and Metroid do not stand a chance. Fact: Fire Emblem/Silent Hill is the lowest-scoring match of the contest. The only match that stands in its way is Poke/Xeno Part II. Fact: Halo/Castlevania will be the closest first-round match. The only other hard to call matches are SFF affairs (Mega/Kart) and apathy matches (FE/SH, Poke/SO) Fiction: Kingdom Hearts vs. Halo/Castlevania will be the closest second-round match. Sonic vs. SSB will be the match of the second round. Fiction: Metal Gear will lose before the Final Four. The favorite of the opposing four pack is Kingdom Hearts, and we saw what Snake did to Sora. Fiction: Super Mario Brothers will break 90% on Madden. Madden will use its mainstream recognition to stay out of the 90% range. Fiction: Warcraft has a realistic chance of beating Grand Theft Auto. People may underestimate GTA due to its lukewarm contest matches, but the games are much stronger than the characters. Fiction: Sonic/Smash Brothers will be the most split match in the BOP. Castlevania/KH/Halo will be more split due to the fact that there are three contendors instead of two. Fact: Mario Kart has a chance of upsetting Mega Man. I don't think it will happen, but it could. Fact or Fiction: Street Fighter will fail to get out of the first round...again. The Elder Scrolls has no chance. Xbox360s are not widespread enough to allow Elder Scrolls to beat a very strong series like Street Fighter. Fact or Fiction: In the event of Street Fighter/Resident Evil, there WILL be SFF. Capcom SSF will be very minor, in that there are not so many diehards of the company itself, but plenty of hardcores of their individual series. Fiction: The Elder Scrolls can make the divisional finals. What did I just say about the series that Oblivion is from? Fact: We will have a match break 100,000 before the Final Four. The contest is going on during the best time for vote totals, so why not? --- RIP Eddie Guerrero 1967-2005 "I set my ATM card's number to "0001" because I'm number one!" - Manfred von Karma |

Just as a whole. Again, it nor the franchise as a whole are huge,
but by no means is it obscure. It got plenty of advertisement, it sold
about 600,000 copies (which was like God of War levels before the price
drop), and got a ton of high scores from reviewers. Sounds like the Lunar series, except maybe the advertising bit. And I should remember, I was on the losing side of that debate (and I used pretty much the same reasons that you are). I'm not making the same mistake twice. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/NintendoDesktop2.jpg |

Not to veer too far off topic, but since you seem to know a lot about
game sales HM, do you have any idea how many copies the elders scrolls
IV:oblivion has sold so far? All I know is somewhere between a week to
three weeks after its release, bethesda (makers of the the TES series
in case someone doesn't know) announced that between PC and 360 it had
sold something like 1.7 million copies (maybe 1.3 million, I'm not
quite sure), and that in it's first week on the market it's sales took
a whole quarter of the pc game market. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

Fact or Fiction: Star Ocean has a fighting chance against Pokemon. Fact. Whether it wins or not is irrelevant, the chance of victory is still there. Fact or Fiction: Metroid will SFF Kirby AND Pokemon. Fiction, solely because there won't be SFF going up against Pokemon, if it does. Fact or Fiction: The Legend of Zelda will at least TRIPLE Metroid. If the match happens, fact. Fact or Fiction: Zelda at least doubles everything in its division. Fact. Fact or Fiction: Fire Emblem/Silent Hill is the lowest-scoring match of the contest. Fact, most likely. Fact or Fiction: Halo/Castlevania will be the closest first-round match. Fiction - I think it's MK/Mega. Fact or Fiction: Kingdom Hearts vs. Halo/Castlevania will be the closest second-round match. Fact, and you know Ceej set it up on purpose... Fact or Fiction: Metal Gear will lose before the Final Four. Fiction, assuming that MGS is considered. Fact or Fiction: Super Mario Brothers will break 90% on Madden. Fiction, blame the Spotters if nothing else. >_> Fact or Fiction: Warcraft has a realistic chance of beating Grand Theft Auto. Fact. It probably won't, but it's not out of the realm of possibility that it will. Fact or Fiction: Sonic/Smash Brothers will be the most split match in the BOP. Fiction, though for the life of me I can't think of what would be more divisive. Fact or Fiction: Mario Kart has a chance of upsetting Mega Man. Fiction, if only because I don't think it would be an upset on either side. Fact or Fiction: Street Fighter will fail to get out of the first round...again. Fiction. I mean, come on - only a Chuck Norris pic could save the day. Fact or Fiction: In the event of Street Fighter/Resident Evil, there WILL be SFF. Fact, but who cares? Fact or Fiction: The Elder Scrolls can make the divisional finals. FICTION. Fact or Fiction: We will have a match break 100,000 before the Final Four. Eh, coin-flip.

Phediuk please stop coming across as a troll. Anyone else unsure about where to place SMB? The obvious choice is losing to FF, but I could see it losing to SSB or even beating FF. I have it losing to SSB for now. Put it this way... you could see SMB possibly beating out FF, right? Well SSB beat FFX with not even 51% of the vote, and this was the picture in the match (http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=3&pos=55) if that's the most ridiculous I've ever seen, I don't know what is. So if you honestly think SMB could put up a fight with FF, there's no chance in hell it's going lose to SSB. Anyway, I think you're crazy to think SSB has a shot against SMB, and that SMB has a shot against FF. SMB has one of the most predictable paths in the contest. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids. |

Fact or Fiction: Star Ocean has a fighting chance against Pokemon. Fact. SC seems to be an RPG with high-acclaim. But, so is Pokemon. 48.2% had Xenogears beating Pokemon. Now, will SC win? We'll see. Fact or Fiction: Metroid will SFF Kirby AND Pokemon. This question puzzles me...what's SFF to you? A double and a half on each? I suppose I'll say for the question fact, but I want a number on this. =\ SFF ain't SFF if the margin's not big enough. Fact or Fiction: The Legend of Zelda will at least TRIPLE Metroid. Do you really give Metroid that tiny bit of credit? XD Fiction. Fact or Fiction: Zelda at least doubles everything in its division. Much better. I'd take a triple on Civilization, and I think it could slap up MMX. Against Metroid, it's a toss up. But, I'll bite. Fact. Fact or Fiction: Fire Emblem/Silent Hill is the lowest-scoring match of the contest. Scoring? I'll presume you mean lowest votes. If so, Fact. Fact or Fiction: Halo/Castlevania will be the closest first-round match. Fact or Fiction: Kingdom Hearts vs. Halo/Castlevania will be the closest second-round match. It's definitely the match I'm thinkin about the most, right now. I think of only two other possiblities; Mario Kart/Mega Man and Pokemon/SC. Well, I think the winner of both will be more than 55%. I'll say fact. Fact or Fiction: Metal Gear will lose before the Final Four. ...I have KH winning. 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. I can't buy into the Blizzard hype, sorry. Fact or Fiction: Sonic/Smash Brothers will be the most split match in the BOP. That's funny! :D I guess there will be as much discussion, am I rite? Fiction; I say Mario/Mega Man. Fact or Fiction: Mario Kart has a chance of upsetting Mega Man. Fact. Fact or Fiction: Street Fighter will fail to get out of the first round...again. Fact. Fact or Fiction: In the event of Street Fighter/Resident Evil, there WILL be SFF. The only thing that ties them toghether seems to be their company. Now, while that's part of what SFF is about, it just doesn't seem realistilcly reasonable. One series is fighting, and the other involves scary monsters! D: Fiction... Fact or Fiction: The Elder Scrolls can make the divisional finals. What are the Elder Scrolls? Fiction... Fact or Fiction: We will have a match break 100,000 before the Final Four. SMB/FF?

I'm confused as to why Mario Kart is a "lock". Both sides have confidence in that match, I would guess. Because Mario Kart is far more well-known to the average voter than Mega Man.

The box, commercial, title screen, and opening scene of the game all
quite clearly state it's an elder scrolls game. You'd have to be really
damn dense to miss it... --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

Fiction: Star Ocean has a fighting chance against Pokemon. -I see another V Joe./Tails in the works. Fiction: Metroid will SFF Kirby AND Pokemon. -I actually think Pokemon has a remote, remote chance of winning. Fact: The Legend of Zelda will at least TRIPLE Metroid. -It will probably come very close. Fact: Zelda at least doubles everything in its division. Unsure: Fire Emblem/Silent Hill is the lowest-scoring match of the contest. -Elder Scrolls/Street Fighter will give it a run for its money. Fiction: Halo/Castlevania will be the closest first-round match. -Halo will win and it won't even be close. Mario Kart Vs. Mega Man is the only shot I see at a nailbiter and I douvt that. Fact: Kingdom Hearts vs. Halo/Castlevania will be the closest second-round match. -Although take Castlevania out of the equation. Fiction: Metal Gear will lose before the Final Four. Fiction: Super Mario Brothers will break 90% on Madden. -I see high 80s. Madden will lose any shot it has at getting casuals against Mario. Fact : Warcraft has a realistic chance of beating Grand Theft Auto. -I picked GTA and am not looking back, but Warcraft has a decent shot, sure. Fact: Sonic/Smash Brothers will be the most split match in the BOP. Fact: Mario Kart has a chance of upsetting Mega Man. -I actually have it. 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. Fiction: The Elder Scrolls can make the divisional finals. Fact: We will have a match break 100,000 before the Final Four. --- "What's wrong with boot blacking? I like it very much." |

Fact or Fiction: Street Fighter will fail to get out of the first round...again. Fact. Fact or Fiction: The Elder Scrolls can make the divisional finals. What are the Elder Scrolls? DOES NOT COMPUTE! Oh ****. My bad. Yeah, it's fiction that SF will fail to get out of the first round. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=579987 - Wanna report a TOS violation!

Not to veer too far off topic, but since you seem to know a lot
about game sales HM, do you have any idea how many copies the elders
scrolls IV:oblivion has sold so far? I believe sales of the Xbox 360 and PC combine to something like 1.5 million. ...And no one outside of the RPG nerd community has ever heard of Suikoden, either. Hence why it performs like **** in these contests. Suikoden is far more cult than either series we're talking about. Star Ocean is nothing even remotely close to Suikoden in that regard. Star Ocean would kill Suikoden in a match and I would expect it to be Xenogears as well. Xenogears is considerably more popular than SO or Suikoden. ... No, it is not. It is more popular than Suikoden, but there are a lot of things more popular than Suikoden. It is not considerably more popular than Star Ocean at all. That's just so wrong it hurts. --- "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." |
