"We haven't even had a debate as to why Sonic will lose to Devil May Cry yet!" You're not being series, are you? I mean, I wouldn't be utterly shocked, but on this site it's highly improbable that you'll see DMC over Sonic. --- Take a hike, and don't forget the trail mix *****.

Another list to take a look at: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=906&topic=25418462 Sonic 2 dominates the chart with over 50% more votes than second place. S3&K, S3 and S&K are counted as seperate entries. The combined score of the three(which is inflated because you could put both Sonic 3 and S&K on one entry) is still a good deal less than Sonic 2's score. Sonic 2 also had the highest amount of 1st place votes(Once again more than S3&K, S3 and S&K combined). S3&K would not have gotten in over Sonic 2. I doubt S3&K is stronger than S2 and even if it was, it wouldn't be by much. --- "Those whose memories fade seek to carve them in their hearts..." "All dreams are but another reality.

| I really hope that's a glitch/a mistake in the coding and not an actual "feature". Can you imagine the total number of votes if the poll was actually placed there during the contest? |
| transience | Posted 6/17/2006 3:15:20 AM | message detail |
|
if it stays there, votals are going to freaking plummet. I would think
that the "casual" vote would just get murdered. vote rallying (hi,
Warcraft!) would be a lot more effective if there were less total votes
as well. this is not a good thing... that needs to get fixed before the contest. --- xyzzy "I was scared of that match because I thought Magus was over-confiscated for in his match against Crono." -Tai |

I doubt any old school Sonic title could come close to 30%. Why? Simple, they're exclusive to the Sega Genesis. *pulls out Gamecube and Sonic Mega Collection* Sorry.

Warcraft is the obvious choice. But CJayC has two weeks to change that... I just don't think it's going to stay there. --- Got a craving while you're watching training holos on your rest cycle? Try new PHAZONETS - a mouthful of mutation in every morsel! |

have a desire to catch up on what everyone posted, which is rare for
me. I can only handle so much Sonic/SotN talk before exploding. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids |

I think it could have won a match or so if it were in a better position. I think it could do around 30% against SSB, myself. --- "If you're asking for a date, forget it. Because I made it a point not to go out with women who shoot me in the head." |

| Depends. Did DQ8 sell well? |
| RPGuy96 | Posted 6/17/2006 1:38:06 PM | message detail |

I think DQ would perform rather like Tetris. Everybody's at least heard
of it, so that would help it out against fodder, but the best two games
of the series didn't make it over here, the first four are on the NES,
and the last two are hopelessly old school. I wish it would be a strong
series but I strongly doubt it. And to the best of my knowledge DQVIII sold like crap. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/NintendoDesktop2.jpg |

It sold 400,000 in the States and apparently 600,000 in Europe. --- "If you're asking for a date, forget it. Because I made it a point not to go out with women who shoot me in the head." |

That's actually better than I thought. I still think the series is on
the fodder line, though. It'd probably beat Star Ocean and such, but
not much else. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/NintendoDesktop2.jpg |
