FACT or FICTION: SMB will break 40% on Final Fantasy. Fact. Melee got close on FFVII IIRC, and SMB > SSB quite comfortably. It shouldn't have too much trouble cracking 40%. FACT or FICTION: Grand Theft Auto (or Warcraft, if you insist) will break 40% on SMB. Fiction. Just my gut, I don't think GTA is beloved enough to do it against SMB. FACT or FICTION: Mega Man X will end up ranking below Mega Man in the unadjusted stats. Fact. Very comfortable with it, thanks to Zelda being the one to knock MMX out. FACT or FICTION: Soul Calibur will rank ahead of Street Fighter in the unadjusted stats. Urgh...I think Soul Calibur is dreadfully overrated (I'd take Street Fighter without too much worry in that matchup), but I believe Street Fighter will go down to Resident Evil, which may suffer some 'SFF' against Final Fantasy (not *all* its strength comes from RE4, and RE's next strongest titles are Playstation based). Um...still Fiction. I still think SC is overrated enough to make the difference. FACT or FICTION: The closest Round One match will be Halo/Castlevania. Fiction, I think MM/MK will be closer. FACT or FICTION: If Halo and Kingdom Hearts switched spots, nobody would assume Castlevania would have a chance against Kingdom Hearts. Well, SOMEONE would...but generally, Fact. FACT or FICTION: Diablo would beat Warcraft in a one-on-one match. Fact. Gut. FACT or FICTION: The highest-ranked Capcom franchise in the contest will be Resident Evil. Fiction, if I had to take a guess I'd say MM. FACT or FICTION: Final Fantasy/Legend of Zelda will not be as close as FF7/OoT. Fiction...it'll be closer. (though Zelda still won't win) FACT or FICTION: Half-Life would beat Mega Man X. Fiction. GFNW lol --- *is Karma Hunter* |

Well, what Goldeneye did last fall may be scaring some, for one. Halo
really can do anything between losing in the first round and win the
division, though it's most likely to be somewhere in between. --- Got a craving while you're watching training holos on your rest cycle? Try new PHAZONETS - a mouthful of mutation in every morsel! |

I never understood how or why people would think Shadow is hated, myself. It's clear that he is
popular, and all of that popularity came from SA2. He may be hated here
on the board, but this board is probably the last thing you want to use
to determine what is like/hated. And I also agree on his appeal being more than just a Sony proxy. I know I like him for reasons that don't deal with him just looking like Sonic. And, I do say, that Shadow's levels in SA2 were better than Sonic's!! I recall them being similar, but the one that seals the deal is Radical Highway. <3 --- "If you're asking for a date, forget it.

Sonic's levels in SA2 are far beyond Shadow's on average. Final Rush
> Final Chase, in particular, and it doesn't help that Shadow has
only four levels, while Sonic has six levels and that last little
portion at endgame. --- *is Karma Hunter* |

Depends on whether you consider 37% to be close. Close to 40%, I should say. Though 3% is no small margin to make up, I would think the whole of the SMB series wouldn't have much trouble doing it. --- *is Karma Hunter* |

Also, why the hell does everyone think Castlevania is so damn popular? I'm not sure, myself. SotN is, by far, its biggest game and I never viewed any game outside of that one to be anything that notable in a contest environment. That is one of those instances where combining it all isn't going to create a real powerhouse, at least to me. SotN things related, sure, but anything else? I think the rest of that series would be fodder. --- "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 on whether you consider 37% to be close. I think it is for a beast like FF7. I think 40% is often the "bar" for contest juggernauts - I'm pretty sure that Samus has been the only non-Sephiroth character to break it against Cloud (excluding Mario), and nobody that's not Link or Sephiroth has ever done it against Link, to my knowledge. I'd hardly call SSBM's performance weak. --- This was Ed Bellis. Summer 2005 Fanfiction Project: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=28403845 |

FACT or FICTION: LoZ will break 90% on Civilization. Fiction. 90% is an insane feat, and I think Civ has a hardcore enough following to just eek out the 10%. FACT or FICTION: There will be a bizarre SFF/rSFF amongst Metroid, Kirby, and Pokemon. Fiction. Metroid/Kirby will go as planned as Metroid is the stronger of the series, and doesn't have much SFF might. Pokemon will go out to Star Ocean, so we don't have to worry about that. FACT or FICTION: SH/FE will be the closest Round 1 match. Fiction. TES/SF baybee. FACT or FICTION: GTA will at least double WarCraft. Faction. At least? Eh... I think it'll be right around a doubling, it's going to be very close to that though. FACT or FICTION: Sonic would do better against SMB than against SSB. lol no fiction FACT or FICTION: Elder Scrolls could beat WarCraft. Fiction. FACT or FICTION: Elder Scrolls could beat Diablo. Definitely Fiction. FACT or FICTION: Megaman X would do within 2% as Mega Man will do against SMK. Ugh... tough one, fiction. FACT or FICTION: Resident Evil would beat Halo. Fiction. FACT or FICTION: Resident Evil would beat Castlevania. Fact. FACT or FICTION: SMB has a better chance at beating FF than LoZ has at beating FF. Fiction, they both have an equal chance of 0. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Trannys. |

Can someone please tell me why they think Resident Evil is going to rank ahead of Mega Man? Pretty much for the reason QUAAARMAAA mentioned, albeit without the "lol." RE4 has given the series a considerable boost, to the point where I probably wouldn't hesitate in taking it over Mario Kart. DMC I think people are underestimating, but it'll be buried under SMB/SSB SFF; MMX has to go up against Zelda and will likely get SFFed there; and I doubt SF stands a chance against RE itself. I'd like to hear why people seem very confident in assuming that Diablo would trump Warcraft in a direct battle, myself. --- This was Ed Bellis.

I probably wouldn't hesitate in taking it over Mario Kart. I wouldn't hesitate in taking MM > MK! DMC I think people are underestimating, but it'll be buried under SMB/SSB SFF; Agreed... or Sonic/SMB SFF, either way though. MMX has to go up against Zelda and will likely get SFFed there; True again, but I'd take MM > MMX, so it doesn't matter much to me. I'd be shocked if most of the voters who come to the site don't see MM and go "Oh man I love MMX!" and vote for it along with those who love the original. Head to head is a completely differrent story though. and I doubt SF stands a chance against RE itself. You mean Elder Scrolls, m i rite?

Also, RE will get SFF'd by FF, the only games that contribute to it's
popularity outside of RE4 are PS games. Granted MMX games appeared on
PS as well, but I think MM has a much larger fanbase outside of PS than
RE does, even with RE4. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Trannys. |

I don't know how the Gamecube version compares with the PS2 versions, but either way I wouldn't expect there to be a good deal of SFF involved in the match. You're probably right about Mega Man X having a larger fanbase outside of Sony, though, but I find it tough to imagine there won't be some sort of SFF involved in Zelda/MMX. To be fair, though, if there's SFF there then there's probably SFF in FF/RE. --- This was Ed Bellis.

Also, why the hell does everyone think Castlevania is so damn popular? They don't. They're banking on Halo being overrated. not me. I could see Castlevania being quite popular. they're well-liked games that span like a dozen consoles. DoS came in second in GOTY and SOTN is a game that gets a whole lot of love.

I'm not sure, myself. SotN is, by far, its biggest game and I never viewed any game outside of that one to be anything that notable in a contest environment. That is one of those instances where combining it all isn't going to create a real powerhouse, at least to me. SotN things related, sure, but anything else? I think the rest of that series would be fodder. I don't know about fodder. I'd say it's probably an upper-midcarder. It has the advantage of always being one of the best early games on a system. SOTN wasn't too early, but Circle of the Moon was probably the best GBA launch title and Dawn of Sorrow was one of the only DS games worth getting for a while. --- "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows." |

To be fair, though, if there's SFF there then there's probably SFF in FF/RE. no. RE/FF will be pretty normal, though it'll be RE4 vs. FFeverything. RE4 is a big enough game for it to gather some votes, and I don't think RE gets anything near a 2 seed without it. --- xyzzy |

RE4 is a big enough game for it to gather some votes, and I don't think
RE gets anything near a 2 seed without it. Well, I guess my question would be about which version of RE4 is more popular on this site: the Gamecube or the PS2? I think, as I said before, that Resident Evil as a series will be drawing most of its strength from that particular game, but if it's the strength of the PS2 version, there might be a bit of SFF. Not much, though. I still think Zelda/MMX SFF is more likely. --- This was Ed Bellis. Summer 2005 Fanfiction Project: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=28403845 |

DMC I think people are underestimating, but it'll be buried under
SMB/SSB SFF; MMX has to go up against Zelda and will likely get SFFed
there; and I doubt SF stands a chance against RE itself. DMC will avoid being buried under that because SSB won't be beating Sonic, ya see. That's one series that is being grossly underestimated. As for MMX, I cannot imagine there being much SFF at all. Zero managed to avoid SFF on any type of large scale against Mario, and he's the best representative you have of something from the X series. I think the fact that MMX has most of its games on the PlayStation should help it avoid having any serious SFF issues. I won't argue that there may be some SFF, but I can't imagine there being very much at all. And Street Fighter will still give a good match to Resident Evil even though it'll lose. I don't know about fodder. I'd say it's probably an upper-midcarder. It has the advantage of always being one of the best early games on a system. SOTN wasn't too early, but Circle of the Moon was probably the best GBA launch title and Dawn of Sorrow was one of the only DS games worth getting for a while. What's the highest you would take a Castlevania game not named Symphony of the Night? I have a hard time taking it over a lot of the fodder stuff (EarthBound, Pac-Man, etc.), myself -- though that might be near the line of fodder and not fodder, but whatever. It isn't to say that those games are bad, but I never found them to be overly popular. Maybe they'll all combine into something that is pretty strong, but I just never saw Castlevania being something anywhere popular enough to take on Halo or Sonic or anything. --- "If you're asking for a date, forget it.

thats like saying all of those games cancel out and it comes down to
Street Fighter II vs Resident Evil 4. It wasn't even meant to be taken all that seriously, given that sales do not equate into strength. But between the poll where Resident Evil placed second in the Capcom series, the fact that that poll came before RE4, and the RE4's huge success should be more than enough to give you an idea of why Resident Evil is the way to go with this one. If it did come down to RE4 v. SFII, guess who wins? --- "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." |

I really couldn't see Castlevania beating Sonic in a
straight up match. I'd be hard-pressed to think of one or two
Castlevania games other than SotN that would easily place above the
level of fodder, while Sonic would easily have 3-5 games. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Resident Evil 4 alone outsold every Street Fighter game except for SFII!! That's not really relevant. The strength of MM and SF both comes from the broad variety rather than original games. IIRC, no MM game has more than 2 million sales, but the series is still over 20 million. The situation with SF is similar, except with more focus on SF2. See, I think Resident Evil will be drawing much of its strength from RE4 above anything else. I don't know how the Gamecube version compares with the PS2 versions, but either way I wouldn't expect there to be a good deal of SFF involved in the match. RE4 has sold somewhat better on the PS2 than the GCN so far, but the difference is not large. I expect the PS2 to gain a big advantage after it goes Greatest Hits. not me. I could see Castlevania being quite popular. they're well-liked games that span like a dozen consoles. DoS came in second in GOTY and SOTN is a game that gets a whole lot of love. I'd definitely consider it over Sonic. MKDS got second, not CDoS. And SotN isn't that popular. Unless you think Goldeneye beats SSBM, SotN did worse than half of Div 128, and I'd certainly take SA2B or Halo over it. Sonic is definitely hugely underrated here. I'm extremely tempted to take it over SSB, and created a bracket on my alt to do just that. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |
