*COMPARISONS GAME- (4) Fire Emblem vs. (5) Silent Hill* Sales Fire Emblem has had 800k in cumulative sales Stateside. I don't know the exact number for all of the Silent Hill games, but I do know SH2 alone sold over 650,000. SH seems like the safe choice here. Advantage: Silent Hill Hype Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance was well-received, and the fanbase for the series just keeps growing. Not a huge amount of buzz for FE, but it's certainly more than... Silent Hill: ...which has not had a new release since SH4 in 2004, which was widely considered a disappointment. Don't even bring up the movie; it received awful reviews from all parties and everyone forgot about it in a week. Advantage: Fire Emblem Number of Games Fire Emblem: Main series- Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Tsurugi (NES, 1990) Fire Emblem Gaiden (NES, 1992) Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo (SNES, 1994) Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu (SNES, 1996) Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 (SNES, 1999) Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi (GBA, 2002) Fire Emblem (GBA, 2003) Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones (GBA, 2005) Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (GC, 2005) Spinoffs/ports- None Total- 9 -- Silent Hill: Main series- Silent Hill (PSX, 1999) Silent Hill 2 (PS2, 2001) Silent Hill 3 (PS2, 2003) Silent Hill 4: The Room (PS2, 2004) Spinoffs/ports- Play Novel: Silent Hill (GBA, 2001) Silent Hill 2 (PC, 2001) Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams (Xbox, 2001) Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams (PS2, 2003) Silent Hill 3 (PC, 2003) Silent Hill 4: The Room (Xbox, 2004) Silent Hill 4: The Room (PC, 2004) Silent Hill Collection (PS2, 2006) Total- 11 Advantage: Silent Hill GameFAQs Status Number of FAQs: Fire Emblem: Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Tsurugi- 13 Fire Emblem Gaiden- 4 Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo- 5 Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu- 9 Fire Emblem: Thracia 776- 4 Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi- 14 Fire Emblem- 30 Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones- 21 Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance- 15 Total- 115 Silent Hill: Silent Hill- 31 Silent Hill 2- 32 Silent Hill 3- 28 Silent Hill 4: The Room- 19 Total- 110 Advantage: Fire Emblem |

Average review score/Number of reviews: Fire Emblem: Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Tsurugi- 9.50 (2) Fire Emblem Gaiden- 7.00 (2) Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo- 8.67 (3) Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu- 9.53 (17) Fire Emblem: Thracia 776- 9.00 (2) Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi- 9.45 (11) Fire Emblem- 9.11 (57) Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones- 8.22 (37) Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance- 8.86 (43) Series average- 8.82 (174) Silent Hill: Silent Hill- 8.89 (55) Silent Hill 2- 8.68 (60) Silent Hill 3- 8.56 (55) Silent Hill 4: The Room- 7.30 (33) Series average- 8.36 (203) Advantage: Fire Emblem/Silent Hill Board activity: None of the Silent Hill boards have more than 1 page, but all of the US-released Fire Emblems have a fair bit of activity going on. Advantage: Fire Emblem Board Odds Project Match prediction: Fire Emblem- 108 Silent Hill- 25 There are only two matches in the first round more contested: Halo vs. Castlevania (WTF?) and Grand Theft Auto vs. Warcraft. Nonetheless, still a very clear consensus for FE. Advantage: Fire Emblem Point value: Fire Emblem- 110 Silent Hill- 25 Not much different here. As far as the strength of the contestants are concerned, this is the weakest match in the contest. Advantage: Fire Emblem Previous contest representation: Fire Emblem: Sp2004- Fire Emblem (46th) Top 100- Fire Emblem (#54) Silent Hill: Sp2005- Pyramid Head (29th) Advantage: Fire Emblem Intangibles If SSBM doesn't exist, this match is a nailbiter. Unfortunately, SSBM does exist, so on top of RPG factor and Nintendo factor, it also has the factor of two characters appearing in a game that's sold far more than any Silent Hill game. And we've already seen the power of SSBM in these contests. Ness and Kirby, anyone? Advantage: Fire Emblem Conclusion If Marth and Roy are in the match pic, FE wins handily. If they don't, FE still wins, but it'll be a struggle. FE with 54%. --- "Thank you, Mario. But our princess is in another castle." -Toad in Super Mario Bros. |

If Marth and Roy are in the match pic, FE wins handily. If they don't, FE still wins, but it'll be a struggle. FE with 54%. Heh, I was thinking the same exact thing last night. One match where the match pic should be a big influence on who the casual will vote for, since they most likely don't care for either series. If Marth and Roy are in the pic, I can see Fire Emblem getting as high as 60%, but if not, Fire Emblem won't even break 55%. I'd prefer the former...because this match is already reminding me of Vyse/Laharl for some reason, so it might as well play out as close to it as it can. Also, Metal Gear sure is falling at the moment. I figured the casuals would favor Soul Calibur, but at this rate, SC could push itself above 30%. --- Moltar Status: Excited, the Contest is here at last!

Alright. Discuss these people who keep saying "omg Halo > KH" jibber jabber and how it makes any passable sense at all. Because Halo has always been a stronger entity than KH in these contests and you're expecting KHII to completely make up the difference between the two while completely ignoring Halo 2, at the same time disregarding that SC is getting pounded into the ground right now? Honestly though, if you still want to believe KH is going to beat Halo I have no problem with it, but acting like Halo beating KH is impossible is just ludicrous. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids. |

contests and you're expecting KHII to completely make up the difference
between the two while completely ignoring Halo 2, at the same time
disregarding that SC is getting pounded into the ground right now? Halo has had one match in a contest setting. Don't forget that it probably had massive rallying behind it to save brackets as well. And I'm not ignoring Halo 2, but Halo was already hugely popular among its fans. You can't say the same for Kingdom Hearts at all. --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

I'm not trying to say Halo > KH is a lock, I'm talking about hiko
acting as though Halo defeating KH is absolutely impossible when
everything that's happened in the past points to Halo winning. We've
gone through this a million times, and I already know what you're going
to say (you've already started), so I'd rather not get into the same
circular debate as usual. I'm just waiting until the match for this one. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids. |

I'm just pointing out that it's not like we have tons of data on Halo
in a contest setting either. I think Halo/Starcraft is a special case
as the PC fanbase on this site isn't that
big as well. I'm sure that there was a large amount of the voting
population hadn't played either (or didn't care for either). We haven't
seen how Halo performs against a widely played, popular console game. Of course Halo/Castlevania will answer that, but I still have doubts on Halo in a contest setting... --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

I could be off, but it looks like Soul Calibur can take Metal Gear
under 70% before everything is said and done. That would make the
1-seed's performance today very good, but not quite spectacular when
compared to many of our Oracle picks (mine was 67%). --- Board 8: Where people treat each other right. |

I have a feeling that FE is going to surprise us and get at least 65%
on SH. All signs point to a blowout: massive votal increase goes
towards Nintendo, Marth and Roy in SSBM, the Silent Hill movie sucking
ass. As for Halo/Castlevania, after Soul Calibur's weak performance today, I have a feeling that KH/Halo were a little bit weaker in '04 than we thought. But Halo 2 has come out since then, so I feel comfortable with my Halo pick. I also feel comfortable with Halo over Kingdom Hearts. Alot of the anti-Xbox sentiment seems to have died down on this site, so I doubt antivotes would be a factor. TuRtLe ~~~ Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

Killer day vote vs. series dropping against a fighting series during the day. Still a very, very casual fighting series; it's not something that only the more hardcore people enjoy. And it's dropped about 2% since last night, right?

Why do I get the feeling that you're going to pull another megaman and have snake winning next years character contest? If MGS4 and SSBB happen to come before the contest next year, you have no idea how tempted I'll be. We still haven't, technically, seen Snake after getting a Metal Gear Solid game with him as the main character. MGS3 was pretty much it, but still not Solid Snake. And then Snake being in SSBB practically forces him into an entirely different fanbase. Not just necessarily releasing on a Nintendo platform, but guaranteed to be in a game that sells millions and millions of copies and those people not necessarily being MGS fans. Good potential there, I think. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

My 7 cents on FE/SH: 1. Silent Hill had no games in the GFAQs Top 100. Fire Emblem ranked around 50. 2. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=775 Silent Hill 2 loses to games such as Capcom vs. SNK 2, Dynasty Warriors 3, Gran Turismo 3 A-spec, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1424 Silent Hill loses to 'None of them'. 3. Fire Emblem gets into contests on its own. Silent Hill needs nomination rallying to get in at all. 4. Fire Emblem did respectably against FFTA. Despite B8's hatred of FFTA, it is a Final Fantasy game, and it will do well. Factor in that FFTA is also a strategy game on the GBA, and you're adding SFF to injury. FFTA also performed well against FFX in the next round, proving that it's no slouch. Silent Hill's claim to fame was getting Pyramid Head in the villains contest (thanks to rallying), and he performed like ass. 5. The movie will not mean anything on GFAQs. Period. 6. Fire Emblem has characters in SSBM. 7. Fire Emblem, Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, and Fire Emblem: Path of Radience are all in their respective system's Top 10 Message Boards on GameFAQs. Silent Hill has no games like that. The Path of Radience board also has as many topics in it as all 4 Silent Hill games combined. Fire Emblem wins with at least 60%. |

Snake > Samus is about as high as I'll go in 2k7. And that's because
I firmly believe MG would beat Metroid in the contest (especially after
MGS4) and that SSBB basically negates the exposure Samus has to people
who have otherwise not played her games. Mario and up...that's a pipe
dream, though I'd love to see Snake give him a run. Too much
Zelda/Final Fantasy/Mario SFF even if he got that high, though. And I like the thinly veiled attempts at downplaying this match. This was never about Metal Gear winning (because we ALL knew it was going to win), this was about Soul Calibur getting exposed. This is about every time people said Soul Calibur > Street Fighter and didn't think twice about it, because they're so blinded by the X-Stats that they don't bother to think otherwise. Don't show me the Oracle picks, the picks from many people outside the stats topic who pay more attention to seeding and common sense than stats. Show me the Crew picks, which aside from CRAZY HM (and Moltar) were high 50's/low 60's. This is about every time I had to hear how KH was a fantastic upset over MG and that we were fools for putting too much weight on Snake/Sora and not giving it its proper due. It never was, and if it wins or comes close you can throw this post right back in my face until the end of time. And it was never because of MG's strength, either, and I've said it enough times to be damn well known. Don't downplay this match despite everyone having MG winning. If Magus had beaten Knuckles with over 70% of the vote Ulti would have been crowing, despite the fact that NO ONE took Knux over Magus. And it's not like you should call the contest after one match, as I should know. But Halo and KH are going to have to hope like hell it was just Soul Calibur fluking its near win against KH. Or that Halo 2/KH2 can make up a 20% differential. |

If thats true, then Halo is a Half Life spinoff. Come now, everyone knows that Halo is a Marathon spinoff. Developers > Publishers. I don't know... even though I think MG has it's division wrapped all up, Halo could make a nice run at it during the day provided that it takes out KH. Killer day vote vs. series dropping against a fighting series during the day. We really have no idea how strong SC's day vote is. KH is the only game we've seen it against, and that game has a pretty good day vote. SF2's day vote is only great because of it's massive popularity in Europe. We really have no idea how other fighting games would do. 5. The movie will not mean anything on GFAQs. Period. The Tomb Raider came out on the weekend of Zelda vs. Lara Croft, IIRC. The year after that, Lara dropped 8% in the stats. Do you really think that movies have no effect on GameFAQs? --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

I still can't understand how anyone is surprised about anything that's
happened so far. MMX blowing out Suikoden, Pokemon doubling Star Ocean,
Metroid blowing out Kirby (although that was a little iffy due to
Metroid sucking at SFF so far), and Metal Gear blowing out Soul Calibur
should have all been obvious. --- Angsty_Lou: Everything has a sexual connotation if you just look long and hard enough. Theo72: U SED LONG AND HARD LOL |

Look, there was nothing silly about thinking Soul Calibur could do well and it has nothing to do with X-Stats. Soul Calibur gave Kingdom Hearts a close match and that's nothing to sneeze at. Kingdom Hearts IS A POPULAR GAME on this web site. It was part of the massive influx of Square fans that changed the face of the contest in 2003. Look at Sora and Riku in the character contest. Just because Soul Calibur wasn't as popular as some people thought, doesn't excuse the fact that it was a viable possibility and doesn't make it any more "stupid." --- "Dropo!

Still a very, very casual fighting series; it's not something that
only the more hardcore people enjoy. And it's dropped about 2% since
last night, right? Nothing that bad, and rather expected given Solid
Snake's day vote, which was never too good, I don't think. Fair enough, but my entire point was Snake/MG has a notorious crappy day vote, and Halo a kickass one. Should Halo get to MG, and I think it will, I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of people start worrying once the day vote kicks in and Halo starts kicking ass and taking names. Granted I don't think Halo will actually win, but it should stir up some fun on the boards. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids. |

| You could make an argument for ANY game under those circumstances, from Street Fighter to Adventure. However, there comes a point when it becomes too ridiculous to believe, and when you have to realize it becomes less Soul Calibur's strength and more Kingdom Hearts' weakness (in 2k4, for mnm). Soul Calibur is a Dreamcast only fighting game. The voters aren't stupid, they know the difference between SC and SCII. And more importantly, they know that SC is a fighting game. I don't care how good it is, fighting games never have and never will have exceptional popularity on GameFAQs. The closest we've EVER had is Ryu, and he's a bloody icon. |

Good potential there, I think. Agree'd. I wouldn't take him over Link or Cloud, but anyone else I think could be fair game. Yeah, I know this is probably in the extreme minority, but Snake appearing on a Nintendo fan favorite? AWW HELLS YEAH. It'd be absolutely shocked if it wasn't the biggest boost we've ever seen by a character outside of the 2K2 to 2K3 shift, because well, 2K2 should just never count. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids. |

HM the thing you dont see is YES SSBB will help Snake. But the
minute he faces Mario and Link, all that SSBB help will evaporate and
he will be left with MGS4. It doesn't evaporate the exposure he is given to Nintendo fans by being included in SSBB. He has an established fanbase outside of SSBB, and Metal Gear Solid 4 is going to do wonders for him by itself. But being exposed to a new fanbase certainly does not hurt. There is plenty of possibility that these very Nintendo fans see Snake and go out to find out more about him -- they'll likely be able to get some if that trophy system returns. The whole idea behind Kingdom Hearts helping Cloud was that people went out to go play Final Fantasy VII or found out more about Cloud and got him a boost. It's something similar here, except I find this to be even bigger because you are going to be in the game of a huge fanbase at GameFAQs. You have people who otherwise wouldn't care about Snake showing an interest in him based off of his appearance in SSBB. Now, of course, this is just a few choice people I have seen -- there is already a large number of people here who have some sort of connection with Snake through MGS games. But I would imagine there are many more casual people like that, too. Snake, of all people, can really benefit from people finding out about and checking some things out. He's got a personality that a lot of people would love. But, yeah, I think he's definitely going to secure the fourth strongest character in this contest after that. I would be taking him over Mario in 2007 for sure. So if for some reason there is another ToC enforced, Snake's got the championship, yo!! --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

And that's because I firmly believe MG would beat Metroid in the

exposure Samus has to people who have otherwise not played her games. I think people are underestimating the effect MP3 will have. Luigi's Mansion is still the #5 selling game on the GCN, and it had SSBM to compete against after two weeks. MP3 will have TP to compete against, true, but I can't see that being a much bigger game than SSBM. MP3 should be the biggest Metroid game ever, and Samus will get an enormous boost from it. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

| If anything, actually, I'd think Metroid Prime 3 is going to suffer from "MGS2-itis" thanks to MP2. Yeah, I think you know where I'm going with this. |

I think people are underestimating the effect MP3 will have. Luigi's
Mansion is still the #5 selling game on the GCN, and it had SSBM to
compete against after two weeks. MP3 will have TP to compete against,
true, but I can't see that being a much bigger game than SSBM. MP3
should be the biggest Metroid game ever, and Samus will get an enormous
boost from it. ... Metroid Prime 3? ... Against Metal Gear Solid 4? ... No. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |
