#38: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - GEN #39: World of Warcraft - PC #40: Devil May Cry - PS2 Look at that. I swear you guys are totally underselling DMC's chances, here. Sonic The Hedgehog 2 was the only one that got on the list, and it barely outdoes Devil May Cry. Sonic is very popular here, but for some reason, his games don't seem to have as much kick. Sonic 2 didn't turn any heads in the game contest, whereas Devil May Cry is untested. Yeah, Sonic > Dante by a decent amount, and "he's an icon", but that's no reason to count DMC out here. Sonic the Hedgehog vs DMC will be closer than the winner vs Smash Bros.

Nah, I don't like DMC's chances a bit. Sonic smoked Dante head-to-head,
one of Sonic's top games outdid arguably DMC's top game, Sonic has far
more games on far more systems and isn't restricted to just one
company's system or just one generation, is both old-school and
new-school, and we saw him and Knuckles boost last year (alongside
Dante, yes, I know, but Sonic was in no statistically-tricky place like
Dante is and Knuckles looks like he probably matches his boost). If all
that simply makes Sonic somehow EVEN with DMC, then throw in that
Sonic's an icon. Finished. Oh, and the Capcom poll comes through again (I think this poll was done in late 2k3, maybe early 2k4...not sure): http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1454 --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=585007 |

Because Mario Kart is far more well-known to the average voter than
Mega Man. Like it or not, Mega Man is a niche series at best nowadays. Mega Man the character is instantly recognizable, but his games don't resonate with the casual gamer. Eh, I don't know if a Mario side series can compete with the main series of a Noble Nine character. I wouldn't pick Mario Kart to beat Metal Gear Solid. I would pick Mega Man to beat Metal Gear Solid. That's pretty much my reasoning. I think Mega can win if he avoids the SFF. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game. Ever."

I can't see SFF in a side series like Mario Kart - not to mention that
MK never existed on the NES, which is where I'd think the SFF comes
from. there shouldn't be any SFF at all there. no way would I take MM over MG(S) though. --- xyzzy |

oh, and i'm also calling right now that Kingdom Hearts over Harvest

Madden will take massive poundings, but KH also has the added benefit
of SFF on it's side. Harvest Moon would have stood up somewhat better
against a game that wasn't another RPG. BOOK IT!! --- "In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women...." - Homer Simpson |

I don't think MGS is miles above Mega Man or anything, just that I
wouldn't take MM to win that match. I believe that all three MGS games
would beat every Mega Man (and Sonic) game though. I always assumed
that Mega Man got votes because people just think he's a kickass

Why do people put Mario Kart as a side series hurting it. Side series or not, it has
shown to be just as popular as the Mega Man series. I don't see people
writing off Super Smash Bros. as a side series. I think it's pretty
irrelevant unless it was going up directly against Super Mario Bros. or
something. --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

After reading some of the arguments, I can see where people picking
Mario Kart are coming from, though I don't necessarily agree. If anyone
was worried about Mega Man having been forgotten or whatever, it is
worth noting that it had the Mega Man Anniversary Collection released
not too far back. People voted for the original Mega Man franchise as
their second favorite, but it was very, very close to Mega Man X. With
Mega Man as a series, you're not separating them and splitting their
potential strength. I think more than any other series, Mega Man is
going to be one that benefits greatly from being all put together. I
think together that they will prove to be much stronger than any
singular game might be. Judging from the bracket, he also might not bother putting (original) next to the Mega Man franchise, which would mean that people would likely just vote for the entire Mega Man franchise anyway. Even if it is there, it's possible that they'll just vote for Mega Man based on any the series (Legends, EXE, Zero, etc.) just because they're not represented in the contest. It's much how people are undoubtedly going to factor in Final Fantasy Tactics when they vote for "Final Fantasy." Mario Kart is going to be a strong series for sure, but I don't see it being able to beat Mega Man -- and I definitely don't see any of this SFF that is being tossed around by a couple of folks. Mega Man, the character, strikes me as someone who is as strong as he is based entirely on the fact that he represents all of his games. So combining all of those games here, which is what it does, I think Mega Man is going to be a real powerhouse in strength. I still wouldn't take it over Metal Gear though, but it would definitely be a close match. --- Some stories can't be told by words. Some legends are meant to die.

I think (correct me if I'm wrong) the reluctance to consider Mega Man
as strong comes from the entire series being snubbed from both the
spring 2004 contest and the best game ever bracket. However, I think
(as previously mentioned) this is largely a result of being split on
the fanbase of what to vote for. ...or is it? Quite frankly - and I loathe using anecdotal evidence to form an argument, but I can't see any other sources for this one - I've heard nothing but unison on the "best" Mega Man games throughout all the series: 2 and 3. Maybe the voting demographic is so split between these two games that they were snubbed from the 8-bit bracket. There's the occasional fan who prefers 5 or 7 or 8 or even an X or a Legends game, but in general the vast majority seems to favor classics 2 and 3. (Is there a poll for this? Not sure.) So where, then, does the split come into play? Having a lot of games does not necessarily equate with having a lot of popular games. Look at Mario - he's easily amassed more games than Mega Man and the ones that are most popular normally go to the top while the others drift away. One would think that'd happen with the Mega Man series as well. Where am I going with all this? Well, I wonder... if the Mega Man series really doesn't have much competition among its own games for a stand-out classic (which I believe it doesn't), then why haven't its games been represented more fully? There are two possible reasons for this: either MM2 and 3 simply split the voting pool to a large degree (which would leave room for some strength in the series if you assume that Ceej's leaving all the games off the drop-down list explains the series' absence from the top 100 list), or they are simply not popular on their own to merit inclusion (which would imply that the series is weaker than most would think). I dunno... I could see it going either way, although I think there's more convincing arguments for a hidden strength in the Mega Man series than there are for its absence. But I might be wrong. (This is the first time I've tried to formulate an actual argument in a stats topic before. Please don't kill me too hard.) --- This was Ed Bellis.

Oh, bracket. As is the tradition, although I'm not filling it this
time, I'm having a go at commenting it without looking at anyone else's
comments first. Hyrule division is piss easy. Toughest match is Metroid/Kirby, and it's not even that tough. Pokémon FINALLY winning a match? SFF affair in the divvy finals between Zelda and Metroid. Dammit. Looks like I nailed the fourth top seed correctly. Fire Emblem vs. Silent Hill reeks of stinkbomb, but FE wins nonetheless. Castlevania/Halo? Sounds cool, but Halo wins this one. Halo/KH now? The SpC2K4 match that never was? Toughest match so far, I give it to KH and the division to MG. GTA beats Warcraft before losing to Mario, easy enough. SSB over Sonic before getting SFFed by Mario. Diablo FF fodder? DAMN. MM/MK... holy crap. Toughest match throughout the bracket. SF/RE is nasty too, but RE will probably take that four-pack. FF over Zelda in the finals, though I'm not overconfident about this. --- i beaten a lot of people in school in a battle. some are noobs like you some are pretty good. i have a perfect record of not loosing. -pika4 |

I don't think KH could destroy anything. it gets antivoted for being
"kiddie" - remember when Agent 47 was dubbed Neo-Tanner? Sora didn't
even break 80%. I think people were already getting crazy by thinking Agent 47 would be Neo-Tanner. There was a rather large difference between the two. Though it's notable that was before Kingdom Hearts II was out, which is considerably different from Kingdom Hearts in a number of ways -- "kiddie" included. --- Some stories can't be told by words.
