Look at the total votes for each update. He won 46-38 and 55-49. That's why I said it doesn't really count. --- "You make a good other." |

Who do you guys think is stronger? Mega Man or Mega Man X? Because this match so far is making my Mario Kart> Mega Man upset look very very unlikely. I know Suikoden is weak but I can't see it being this weak. --- 12th place in the "Got Villains?" Contest |

I didn't think Luca Blight could get much weaker after he lost to Magus in 2k4... BUT WESKER AND MAGUS 2K5 SHOWED ME JUST HOW MUCH WEAKER THAT COULD BE!!! |

He still did a lot better during the daylight, even against Mario. That's the real point here. Oh, sure, winning updates is just a technicality to make Zero look more dangerous.. but let Zero have his technicality! --- Raiden is still [!!] nominations short! http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=27664244 |

Mega Man generally does have a good day vote, which I've already admitted. I'm not trying to take that away from it. Anybody know how good Mega Man's day votes were during the Games Cont-- Oh wait. --- "You make a good other." |

Because this match so far is making my Mario Kart> Mega Man upset
look very very unlikely. I know Suikoden is weak but I can't see it
being this weak. I have Mario Kart winning, and my Mega Man X prediction was 83%. Suikoden is fodderific. --- Board 8: Where Wii treat each other right. |

Okay, and with higher vote totals this contest and a weak cult-series
instead of a strong mega-icon, do you think that's not a good sign for
MMX, even if it was the dead-period? Even if he never won an update,
Zero still took it to Mario for some updates. --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=585007 |

WTF, rape is only offensive when used out of context. Thanks for the input, Mr. "I have NO ****ing experience in the subject matter of which I'm opening my mouth about". It's a safe assumption because you wouldn't type something that ridiculous if you had so much as the first clue about it, of which you obviously don't. And with that, I'm finished with the subject. I already spoke with EC on AIM, and there's no ill will at all. He's only really upset with the fact that he was suspended with a mere 2 NKLs on his current record, which I don't exactly agree with either. I would only warn for that, personally. On a better note, record updates coming next post(s). ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game. Ever."

Yes! Mega Man X just lost .1% on that update! Just lose another 3% or so, and we'll be good! With that, I'm out 'til Friday. See you guys then. --- "You make a good other." |

I think people are overestimating MMX. As a series, I don't think
there's any way that MMX is even close to MM, let alone stronger. Anyway, worth noting that Civ came close to making top ten. Those "dedicated fanbase" picks put it at 14 on the list of lowest votals. Total vote wise, that poll ranked 23rd. Not too shabby. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game. Ever."

On one hand, the MM fanbase prefers MMX to MM...but at the same time,
MM is more embodies more than MMX. The picture and voters' memory-spans
will change that some, sure, but I don't expect them to be TOO far
apart. --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=585007 |

| I find it highly unlikely that either side will be proven right or wrong, unless MM does something drastic (like get 60% on MK or vice-versa, so we KNOW it's unusually strong or weak). I fully expect MMX to take some Serious Fishy Factor next round. |

From UltimaterializerX Posted 7/3/2006 1:17:20 AM I do. MMX has always been a niche spinoff series. I think. ~*ST*~ I seriously doubt that. The last mainstream original series game was 7 on the SNES. The X series has had very game since then. Not to mention that poll. That said, I can't see there being much difference in strength between MM and MMX. It's essentially the same fanbase for both series. MK/MM is as up in the air as it ever was. TuRtLe ~~~ Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |
