Cloud tripled up Fox! Fox obviously has no place in this contest! Snake beating Squall's ass? That was obviously SFF! Plus there was no KH! There's absolutely nothing wrong with the 2k2 stats!


I can't tell if you're mocking me or not. I FEEL SO ASHAMED.

Where the hell did I state "Metroid Prime 3 -- guaranteed to be worse than Metroid Fusion"? Because, you know, I'm pulling a blank here. And we do know that Metroid Fusion sold a million copies, right?

Well, you did say a million copies for MP3, and that's a little worse than MF. I still think you're vastly underestimating the power MP3 will have. It'll probably be the game Nintendo chooses to showcase the Wiimote at all the Wii demo booths (you know they're coming), since it's the game that most reflects what the Wiimote can do. TP will also probably have some of its sales siphoned away by the GCN version, lessening MP3's competition even further.

come on now, Samus is susceptible to SFF. Snake being in SSBB will result in massive rSFF and Snake will double her.

Nintendo does not want people knowing the GCN version even exists. They are going to be marketing that thing as if it was made exclusively for the Wii.

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.

Aside from this board's hardon and the Top 10 FAQ, we really don't know this.


The Top 100 Games List and Sora and Riku's performances are proof that Kingdom Hearts is popular.

Oh, and I don't think Kingdom Hearts was a major part of Cloud's increase either, but I do think Kingdom Hearts did help bring *some* Square fans to GameFAQS.

Riku is decent, Sora is an anomaly that goes from whipping Alucard to getting SFF'd by every character under the sun. If any character were to EVER be susceptible to enough rSFF to lose a match, it would be him. And of course, characters =/= games. Is Kefka proof that FFVI is unpopular???

Not that Kingdom Hearts didn't have fans, even back then. But it has never been on the level of a Metal Gear. Even with KH2, it still isn't.

The Top 100 Games List and Sora and Riku's performances are proof that Kingdom Hearts is popular.

Everyone and their mother knows I hate the top 100 list, and considering that ToS was one of 2 write-in games, I'm going to go ahead and guess that it was mostly this board submitting the lists, and I don't think anyone would argue that ToS has strength on GameFAQs, as a result KH gets an inflated score because everyone here would probably choose to have sex with it over the hottest woman in the world (many suspect it to be HM's mom, but it's not yet been confirmed), and I wouldn't go so far as to say Sora and Riku's performances are proof of it's popularity. Sure it's not garbage, but I don't think anyone is trying to say that, it's also not a groundbreaking game. Actually Riku's really never done anything impressive... at all. Sora had one good year in 2K4 losing to Samus (who many suspect to be overrated for whatever reason dropping 4% in the stats from 2K4 to 2K5 with an adjustment), add that to the fact Sora also went down a lot in 2K5 (yes we have the entire Snake/Sora debacle), and I don't know how impressive you could really say Sora has been.

If any character were to EVER be susceptible to enough rSFF to lose a match, it would be him.

Fun fact: after Sora's clobbering of Hayabusa, X-stat projections showed Sora was slightly stronger than Aeris. The same Aeris that doubled him the year before.

Of course, Sora turned out to be a bit weaker, but that's still fun to think about.

By the way, I'm thinking that an FFVII character that would otherwise be less popular than Sora could beat him in a match. Someone like...Red XIII, or if you think that's still too popular, then Cid or Barret.

Amazingly though, Kefka is the strongest character from FFVI, which is why I used him. I still can't fathom how he's so damn weak...

The thing is, Kingdom Hearts' stat placement in SpC2k4 falls into the realm of 'unreasonable'.

As for FF6A...lol kefka

No main character'd.

No, because we all think it will, pick Kefka over someone slightly ahead of him, and he will own us all once again with his Lettuce powers. I'm on to him !!

Watch him be right, too. <<

But it seems like the next match will be pretty competitive if we all are under 60%, minus one person.

Bah, I never commented on MGS v. Wind Waker...I think Wind Waker is a lot less popular and favored than it was in 2k4 (don't expect it to get a higher seed than MGS3 today) and it may be MG v. Zelda, but it's the most adored MG game versus the Zelda game with the most baggage. Plus, lol Starcraft. MGS with 52%.

With exception to Zasz, Overlord and Kerrian those are just the names of the special version of the unit. Hunter Killer is the name of the Hero Hydralisk. They play no role in Melee and most of them are simply there in the story missions. Zasz is the name of one of the Cerebrete you meet in the Zerg compaign of Starcraft, and he's not there for long.

Ulti’s Analysis

I have little experience with the Silent Hill series, so sorry in advance for this one being a bit one-sided on my end. I once tried playing SH2, but got scared and quit after getting to that big apartment building near the beginning. And you people think I'm kidding when I say The Ring scarred me for life.


Let's all laugh at Ulti now!

Just as I foresaw in my Magic 8 Ball weeks ago...the Halo bandwagoning here is at record levels...so it will be all the more satisfying to see Halo fall in 2 short days.

Halo is unproven, and it is not as big this year as it was last time it had to prove itself here. If Halo 3 was out now, things MIGHT be different. Seeing Halo fall will be onbe of the sweetest things I have seen here since Froggy took out the Chief, since Pong defeated River City Ransom, and seeing Mortal Kombat score 30% on FFVI when no one thought it would go over 20%...

Ah to see the Halo-ites cry...lol Cant wait!

FF6A will only help peeps like me, who love FFVI...the greatest FF of them all...the game of my screen name namesake. It will not help Kefka, Strago, the Jidoor Auction House Guy, Ultros, or anyone else.

The fanbabies hearts are set against Kefka...they aint gonna change. Some peeps just dont appreciate real talent, instead preferring guys like Magus!

Magus...lol...his 15 min of fame are way past over eh?

Why blame SFF?

Fire Emblem won't to better (and definatly not SH or Castlevania because THAT would be SFF) and I personally don't think KH or HALO would do get above 40% against Metal Gear.

IMO Soul Calibur is doing pretty good.

Everybody is underrating FE in 2k4. If there was SFF between MGS and FFVII just because they're on the same platform, there'd certainly be SFF between FE and FFTA when they're on the same platform and of the same genre.

No comments on the pics? I say that even though FE gets no Marth and Roy, the picture still stands out. I don't think Pyramid Head really defines Silent Hill. Ceej just was lazy due to Pyramid Head already being in the contest. Otherwise, I definitely don't see him being the center.

The Castlevania pic is fantastic! Soma > Alucard, yo!
