Yo beat me to it -- I would think the entire series of Legend of Zelda
against the entire series of Final Fantasy would evoke more feelings
and involve more voters than the main character of the LoZ games and
the main character of FF7. --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=585007 |

I really wish my tiebreaker were higher. It's kind of stupid to be out
of a shot at winning because of something like that; 32 entrant fields
are the pits, though it's better than not having any contest at all. MMX is making my Crew pick look nice. I'm sure it'll rebound a bit and hover around the 75% range come day vote time.

there's any way that MMX is even close to MM, let alone stronger. ...What are you basing this on exactly? Anything at all? --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

nope. the day vote is just about to kick in. Megaman X will go back on
the up-swing and finish in the 74-75% range, i'm guessing. and if
anything, this match doesn't shake my faith in Mario Kart. not being
able to quite triple Suikoden doesn't really impress me much. plus, i'd
wager that Ceej labels Megaman as "Megaman Original" or "Megaman
Classic" or something to that effect - kinda like the series poll. also, Ulti, how can you call MMX a niche spinoff series? did you already forget about this poll: Which Mega Man series is your favorite? Mega Man (Original) 34.45% 16507 Mega Man (Game Boy) 1.8% 863 Mega Man X 40.81% 19550 Mega Man Zero 6.83% 3271 Mega Man Legends 6.22% 2979 Mega Man Battle Network 8.77% 4204 Mega Man: Power Battle/Fighters 1.12% 535 TOTAL VOTES 47909 head-to-head, i would take MMX over Megaman without thinking twice. --- "In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women...." - Homer Simpson |

Looks like MMX has stopped the percentage slide and is starting to

hours. --- Jon Thomson - CATS, Jay Solano, Ridley, Scorpion, Alien Hominid, Duke Nukem, The Prince, Johnny Rocketfingers, two TBA |

After looking through some of the updates from MM/MMX matches in past
contests, I'd be surprised if we see a significant swing (more than 1%)

Wow, Suikoden did some fighting during the night. Not surprising. It does have some
fans on this site. And there are people who simply don't care for Mega
Man games much. Still hope MMX pulls it back up to 75%... I do feel
more confident about MK > MM though. --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

MMX. I'm hoping it pushes forward hard. It would be amazing if MMX
could push itself back up to 74% but 73% looks more likely. --- Moltar Status: Excited, the Contest is here at last! MMX vs. Suikoden - Bracket: MMX - Vote: MMX (1/1) |

Looking at the game stats, if MMX gets around 74% on Suikoden, it puts
it around SMRPGs level. Mid-card status. I've had a feeling that Mega
Man games wouldn't be elite status like the character is... unless
Suikoden is somewhat stronger as a series (which I doubt). --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

I honestly can't believe MMX is doing so poorly, sure it's on the
upswing right now, but Suikoden took a massive chunk of it during the
night. Even the morning was a bit shaky. Make me feel a bit better
about SO over Pokemon, and a but worse about MM > MK, but I don't
see why there's any reason to believe MMX > MM other than in a
direct match-up. Like yo said, MMX would be Mario to MM's Samus. --- Explicit Content ~Kicking sowls ass since the beginning of time~ Cheer Up Trekkie Canadians. |

Oh, I didn't see the "time" at the end. I know what you're talking
about. I was actually wondering the same thing about HM. Plus with all
the different connotations people have used before, it was kinda weird
to see that one marked all of a sudden. I'm sure the word has been used
across the board to describe matches. It's a pretty common term as far
as describing lopsided competition. Doesn't make it right, but still... It's kinda similar to people getting offended when people in sports relate competition to war. --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

I wouldn't trust those polls. FFX vs. SSBM proved that normal polls
=/= contest polls. Remember that poll where FFX got about 30% of game
of the year votes while SSBM got 15%? Yet SSBM pulled that out. True, but you have to look at the polls individually. In late 2001, this site was still very much Square-dominated. If you'd check up on some of the pre-launch polls, you'd see that GameFAQs wasn't anticipating SSBM at all (at least when compared to its current strength). Fast forward a few years, and things have drastically changed. The Mega Man poll, on the other hand is less likely to change with the times. Not only was the poll taken fairly recently (late 2004), but the two main MM series are old; their places in history have already been etched. Other than the Anniversary Collections, there is really nothing that can change the voter pool's preference. Plus, I'm not sure how old it is, but if it was polled before the collections of both X and normal Mega Man it is invalid (and such a change will favor MM, since its collection outsold X collection by a hefty margin). It was conducted in late 2004. MMAC came out in the middle of 2004. MMXAC was not yet released. Advantage: MMX. --- Board 8: Where Wii treat each other right. |

*COMPARISONS GAME- (3) Pokemon vs. (6) Star Ocean* Sales Pokemon, aka the best-selling franchise of all time except for Mario. And even if I'm wrong, it's still sold about 100 times more than Star Ocean. Advantage: Pokemon Hype Pokemon: Always has people talking about it. The games still sell extremely well, the anti-hype is gradually dying down, and Diamond/Pearl will likely be the best-selling game on the DS, ever. Star Ocean: The last thing SO has to its name is a mediocre PS2 game from 2004. Not many people care about this series; the only reason it's in this cotnest is because it's Square (technically Enix, but it's close enough) and its many loyal fanb-err, followers needed to fill as many of their nomination spaces with Square series as they could manage. Advantage: Pokemon Number of Games Pokemon: Main series- Pokemon Green (GB, 1996) Pokemon Red (GB, 1998) Pokemon Blue (GB, 1998) Pokemon Yellow (GB, 1999) Pokemon Gold (GBC, 2000) Pokemon Silver (GBC, 2000) Pokemon Crystal (GBC, 2001) Pokemon Ruby (GBA, 2003) Pokemon Sapphire (GBA, 2003) Pokemon Emerald (GBA, 2005) Spinoffs/ports- Pokemon Snap (N64, 1999) Pokemon Pinball (GBC, 1999) Pokemon Play It!

MMX is sexually abusing Suikoden fans today without their consent. Seriously, yeah, the word is offensive to many women and I don't use it much myself...but when it's got a second meaning that's as popular as it is -- especially amongst gamers -- on a site that's 95% male, I don't see the wrong in it. As long as the context is understood, I wouldn't think it should be such a problem here. --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=585007 |

Average review score/Number of reviews: Pokemon: Pokemon Green- 10.00 (1) Pokemon Red- 8.57 (35) Pokemon Blue- 8.39 (54) Pokemon Yellow- 8.11 (36) Pokemon Gold- 9.07 (42) Pokemon Silver- 8.95 (20) Pokemon Crystal- 8.33 (33) Pokemon Ruby- 8.72 (50) Pokemon Sapphire- 8.50 (26) Pokemon Emerald- 8.54 (37) Series average- 8.72 (334) Star Ocean: Star Ocean- 9.19 (21) Star Ocean: The Second Story- 8.44 (50) Star Ocean: Blue Sphere- 8.00 (3) Star Ocean: Till the End of Time- 7.82 (68) Series average- 8.36 (142) Advantage: Pokemon/Pokemon Board activity: Pokemon completely dominates the GB, GBC, and GBA board Top 10s. Not a single Star Ocean game is in the Top 10 on any of its respective systems. Advantage: Pokemon Board Odds Project Match prediction: Pokemon- 125 Star Ocean- 8 This is almost as lopsided as MMX/Suikoden, yet somehow there's still a big buzz over this match. Hmm. Advantage: Pokemon Point value: Pokemon- 153 Star Ocean- 8 Even more stacked in Pokemon's favor. Advantage: Pokemon Previous contest representation Pokemon: SC2002- Pikachu (29th) SC2003- Pikachu (60th) Sp2004- Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal (44th) Top 100- Pokemon Red (#28) Pokemon Gold (#59) Star Ocean: None. Advantage: Pokemon Intangibles If Star Ocean wins this match, it'll be because of the following train of thought: "Hey, on one side, we've got a guy with a sword...whoa! It's an RPG! And what's its name...Star Ocean! I've heard of that...oh yeah, the last game got pretty bad reviews, I think. Meh. Let's check out what else we've got--EWW, PIKACHU. *votes Star Ocean*" Pokemon has the dubious distinction of being the only series where anti-votes matter. Advantage: Star Ocean Conclusion Pretty much the only things SO has going for it are that it's Square, it's an RPG, and Pokemon is antivoted. Well, Pokemon is also an RPG, and it's Nintendo, and it has everything else going in its favor. Enough to squeak by a second-rate RPG series? I think so. Pokemon with 53%. --- "Thank you, Mario.

My point about comparing the two polls is not the time difference, but
the vote difference. The poll you cited got 47,000 responses while a
lot of the polls on the contest will break 100,000 this time around.
That's a big enough difference to make those polls at least suspect. --- During the struggle, all Hayner could think about was Roxas' balls. |

We begin with the Death Mountain Division...Four 1st rounders...four easy calls, and yes kiddies, they are easy...

Zelda/Civ: The PC genre, dying since the days of Duke Nukem Forever's first delay...gets its token entry in this contest... a series that most peeps dont think of when asked what their fav series is on the PC. I can think of plenty of other more deserving series to be here....Command and Conquer...Quake...Doom...Age of Empires and my pick, SimCity. Oh SimCity...all the good times I had playing thee.... and Red Alert...that game was the only thing I remember from freshman year of college back in 96-97! (Yes I am old lol) Instead, the noobs nominate solid, but nothing too exciting, Civ. Oh well it will fall quickly...oh wait..it already has...fallen faster than Troy... Suikoden/MMX: First seed upset based on seed numbers...but is it an upset? Nope. MMX is a tad underrated around here...loved by many but not talked about much, although, it will only get 1 win this season due to bracket placement. Dr. Light and Wheel Gator deserve better than this. As for Suikoden...it never wins here, it wont be winning here, and it has not been stellar since the PS1 days...Suikoden V needs to save it...or this series will be known in gaming lore as a one hit wonder years from now... Pokemon/Star Ocean: Gawd...that stupid yellow fat thing, Pikachu, is back again. And it gets a glorified jobber as an opponent. Is Star Ocean a series? Does it meet the minimum qualifications? It never made it far on my gaming radar... give me La Pucelle and Cult fav Disgaea any day. Second tier it surely is...it will get more votes than it deserves due to anti-Pokemon rage among the socially challenged, who pick on a helpless yellow goober to make up for their own feelings of inadequacy. Still, the Nintendites will carry the day. Metroid/Kirby: I say it every single year and the fanbabies hate me for it, but I will say it again. Metroid is overrated, and still so many voters put so much faith in it to go all the way, or close to it. This year it will fall to Zelda, but it will win twice prior...against 2 kiddie franchises. Big tough Metroid...beating up on a pair of iridescent marshmallows. Kirby? This series needs to be killed off quietly...its so NES and old school Game Boy...those were the days of its prime...why is it still around?
