Metal Gear can definitely lose. I've said before that there are a
number of series that I'd take over it. Luckily, they are either on the
other side of the bracket, or out of the contest altogether. --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

The only things that can upset MG are Soul Calibur (not going to
happen), and Halo (Might just happen, but I'm not willing to take it.) --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids |

I have been struggling with the Halo/MG/KH threepack forever. I just
dont think most people understand how close the three look to be. Right now its still MG over Halo, but Im really considering making it KH over MG, because I believe if KH beats Halo it will beat MG as well. --- Where am I? |

I can't see Metal Gear losing. It just seems...wrong. Maybe that's because I love the series so much. >_> --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz Beef Jerky, Catgirls, DESU DESU DESU! O_o |

dont think most people understand how close the three look to be. Right now its still MG over Halo, but Im really considering making it KH over MG, because I believe if KH beats Halo it will beat MG as well. I don't understand why. I can see people taking KH > Halo, Halo > KH, and Halo > MG, but KH > MG is just bracket suicide. 4.) Halo > Kingdom Hearts 1.) Star Ocean > Pokemon 9.) Elder Scrolls > Street Fighter 8.)

Kingdom Hearts > Metal Gear 3.) Castlevania > Halo 7.) Warcraft > Grand Theft Auto 2.)

Why on earth would Metal Gear SFF Halo? For the most part, there should
be absolutely no fanbase overlap there. The games are not on the same
console nor are they even remotely alike nor do they necessarily appeal
to the same people, especially on GameFAQs. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |
