But I'm not arguing TES will win. I'm just saying that being on pc/xbox
doesn't exactly disqualify it from having any sort of strength. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

Why does the original Street Fighter have the most reviews? Virtually nobody has even played that game. --- Some stories can't be told by words. Some legends are meant to die.

Maybe thats why. If people havent played it, they want to read reviews
on how good the game is if they enjoyed later installments. --- Where am I? |

Hey HM, do you have the sales numbers for the SFAC? I wouldn't expect
them to be too high for the Alpha Anthology since it's barely out, so I
won't ask for those numbers. --- Some stories can't be told by words. Some legends are meant to die. Knowing your enemy is the quickest path to victory. |

The game hasn't even been ported to anything. It was an arcade game, and it sucked. --- Some stories can't be told by words. Some legends are meant to die. Knowing your enemy is the quickest path to victory. |

Im just saying that might be the reason. Whats the point of reviewing SF2 when every man, woman, and pet has played it? --- Where am I? |

expect them to be too high for the Alpha Anthology since it's barely
out, so I won't ask for those numbers. I don't have exact numbers, but I do know it's under 500,000. If I had to estimate, I might say ~300,000. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

SSB traditionally sucks at GotY polls. Why, SSBM lost out big to FF10,
which had been released two weeks prior, and IIRC MGS2 beat it too. --- Mario's not fun btw and only sells on nostalgia. I mean, you're just walking from one side of a level to the other at a tenth of Sonic's speed... -vego |

Was that the one with the same engine and gameplay as that wcw game? If
so, that actually was a good game... which is surprising since most
wrestling games suck terribly. --- When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. ~ Victor Hugo {WoT}~> Board 408 |

Wrestlemania did kick ass... not as much as SSB, though --- Best. Series. Ever. Score: 11/13 Prediction: Mega Man vs. Mario Kart |

Indeed. Wrestlemania was a good game. Probably my favorite wrestling game. --- Organization XIII - Number III - Xordac Currently Playing - Suikoden V, Capcom vs. SNK 2 |

hmm... Mega Man with 59.54% and.. Street Fighter with 55%, I don't feel confident in SF at all unlike the rest of the board. --- xyzzy I lost a sig bet to War13104. Yes, the same guy who had Kefka over Crono. FOR THE HORDE! |
| LegendarySnake | Posted 7/15/2006 8:47:00 PM | message detail |

Mega Man with 59.99% of the brackets. --- I am the man who makes the impossible possible. I am the man, the legend: Solid Snake! |

MM with 57% PROPHETIC VISION: SF dominates the board and overnight vote, and then TES chips away at the percentage the whole day. In the end, SF falls a little short of a doubling. --- Moltar Status: Disappointed, I lost my perfect bracket. Mega Man vs. Mario Kart - Bracket: MM - Vote: MK (11/13) |

SF will win by 72.23% and people will start seriously questioining
their RE > SF pick. In the end, RE beats SF by about 53-47. --- Where am I? |
| LegendarySnake | Posted 7/15/2006 8:52:03 PM | message detail |
|
SF will win by 72.23% If Street Fighter gets over 86%, it's beating Resident Evil. Yes, I know that isn't what you meant. I just enjoy semantics. --- I am the man who makes the impossible possible. I am the man, the legend: Solid Snake! |

Yeah, how about waiting until a little later than post #483 to go for a 500 post? Also, posts like that are likely to get you modded. --- I am the man who makes the impossible possible. I am the man, the legend: Solid Snake! |

okay - quick predictions: Mario Kart was actually the bracket favorite and Megaman only has 48% of the brackets. also, Street Fighter screams out to a stable 75% - 25% lead and settles in somewhere around 70% at the end of the match. --- "In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women...." - Homer Simpson |

I think people are overestimating Mario Kart's weight with the
bracketmaker. Honestly, not even people on this board were giving it
credit until a few statheads started arguing it. --- I am the man who makes the impossible possible. I am the man, the legend: Solid Snake! |

yeah, but come on - Zero had around 33% against Vercetti after CLEARLY out-performing Vercetti the year before. --- "In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women...." - Homer Simpson |

Mega Man was easily the favorite, over 62% of the brackets. Told ya! --- I am the man who makes the impossible possible. I am the man, the legend: Solid Snake! |
