Well, Mario has fanbase overlap with every series out there, so it's true to SOME extent.

I've been wondering, what would happen if Metroid was in the same division as Metal Gear Solid, with a second seed.

Would people pick Metroid over Metal Gear Solid?

I'm sure some people would consider it a sexy upset pick, but I'd take Metal Gear myself.

JackSparrow, whose alt are you?

Captain Jack Sparrow, an alt? I'm the real deal, mate.

Karma Hunter | Posted 7/9/2006 10:09:38 PM | message detail
Of course people would take it. People picked Kingdom Hearts and Halo over Metal Gear, for the love of what is good and holy (and let's not mention Soul Calibur).

And speaking of what is good and holy...good grief, holy ****, Neo-Tanner here we come.

Commit it to memory.
ChichiriMuyo | Posted 7/9/2006 10:10:29 PM | message detail
I'd take MG, easily. I just can't see it losing to Metroid series vs. series even if the main characters are opposite.

Sure you are. Did you know that I'm going to win the contest with a perfect score?

I am not an alt.

SMB hits 10,000 before Madden hits 1,000.

I love it.

Super Mario is my second favorite series and I've never cared for Madden. Why am I not enjoying this?

Because only two people here have taste that bad, and Heroic Mario is too busy making alts I can't pronounce.

CRAZY SCENARIO: It's football season, and Monday Night Football on. This same match is being run that day, and on-air, and John Madden himself comes on the TV and advertises GameFAQs and the match, and asks the viewers to vote for him.

How well does SMB do now?

Yeah, Leon's better then that. He's friggin' Squall, for crying out loud! The best RPG character ever!

You know, I never quite understood what the appeal in having a bunch of alts is. Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't have the patience to keep on getting all of them karma. One or two for contest brackets I can understand, but some people seem to have a lot.

Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances.

That's because I've got a silly hat on, and this topic is a house of lies.

I think if he can operate a telestrator he can operate a PC.

Hmm...

Shadow Hearts vs. Madden.

Does this match change your mind on its hypothetical winner?

I could see Mario getting 90% with ease against Shadow Hearts as well. At least people have played Madden.

Heh, wrong quote...

"Because only two people here have taste that bad, and Heroic Mario is too busy making alts I can't pronounce."

My first thought was: He came up with Leonhart before HM?

The thing that really bugs me is that it doesn't seem possible for Civilization to beat Madden. That's a theoretical match more worth talking about, and what it may very well say about SMB is worth far more time than anything involving Shadow Hearts.

Would people pick Metroid over Metal Gear Solid?

I know I wouldn't. A lot more people wouldn't have Metal Gear winning the division -- even though it still would -- but yeah.

If JackSparrow were an HM alt he would be saying crazy things like Metal Gear > Final Fantasy and every sentence would end with two italicised exclamation points.

Captain Jack Sparrow didn't ask why because he didn't know. It was more because he didn't want to accept it.
