*Checks in topic* I believe therealmnm was the biggest I remember for Bowser > Solid. Yes, Bowser > Solid was my baby. I was probably the only one who stuck with it into the end. This topic swayed horribly after Snake/Sora and Bowser/Kirby, and borderline blasted me when I still insisted that Bowser had a fighting chance against Snake. That was probably the best "loss" I've ever had in a contest. I figured that Snake would be favored to win the match, but with me being so big of a Bowser fan, I took that upset out of principle. Winning that match was more important to me than winning the contest! --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

I've sold one SO in the past 6 monthes that I can remember, even less then Xenosaga.... if xenosaga gets more intention, not way can I doubt the Xenogears is so much stronger. I've probably sold nearly as many Morrowinds as KotOR, and I've had KotOR in more often.

to beat a classic series like Sonic? How could anyone expect a side
game to beat THE Final Fantasy game of this generation? Seriously, how
ludicrous! Maybe, but Mario Kart is a spin off in to an all ready exsisting genre. SSBM is so different from any game, and draws such an obvious and clear massive fanbase that its an exclusion.

I agree that SF is no Mega Man, but people shouldn't dismiss it at call it relatively weak so easily. I don't see Street Fighter series being very diverse in voting pool.

It didn't exactly look pathetic either. There was a lot of rallying for warcraft you know. The only problem is that it doesn't matter that it doesn't matter if it "didn't exactly look pathetic." Based on Division 128, it had the potential to be one of the strongest series when you throw the rest of the series on top. It didn't perform like that. --- Some stories can't be told by words.

Maybe, but Mario Kart is a spin off in to an all ready exsisting genre. Mario Kart created that genre, mind you. Don't dare put it in the same class as Need for Speed or Gran Turismo. It's a different category altogether. SSBM is so different from any game, and draws such an obvious and clear massive fanbase that its an exclusion. ...Mario Kart arguably has just as big of a fanbase. And of COURSE Street Fighter II isn't going to have a diverse fanbase from SFII to other versions of it. Who HASN'T played the game?

*COMPARISONS GAME- (3) The Elder Scrolls vs. (6) Street Fighter* Sales Street Fighter II was a phenomenon. SFII on its own has likely sold several times more than the entire Elder Scrolls series combined. Advantage: Street Fighter Hype The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion was very well-received (the best-selling game in the series, if I'm not mistaken), and the series' fanbase just keeps growing. Street Fighter: This series has been niche since about 1996 or so. When was the last time anyone was excited for an SF game? Just release SFIV already for Christ's sake.

The only problem is that it doesn't matter that it doesn't matter if
it "didn't exactly look pathetic." Based on Division 128, it had the
potential to be one of the strongest series when you throw the rest of
the series on top. It didn't perform like that. Maybe wracraft is just stronger ten were giving it credit for. Who knows? I don't know why exactly to doubt its numbers in the 2k4 contest though.

Advantage: The Elder Scrolls Board Odds Project Match prediction: Street Fighter- 124 The Elder Scrolls- 9 Despite all of TES' wins in this Comparisons Game, it's still a near-shutout for SF. Advantage: Street Fighter Point value: Street Fighter- 168 The Elder Scrolls- 11 Same deal. Advantage: Street Fighter Previous contest representation The Elder Scrolls: None.

Bison (6th) SC2005- Ryu (23rd) Top 100- Street Fighter II: The World Warrior (#47) Advantage: Street Fighter Intangibles There's one big factor hindering The Elder Scrolls: its name. Whenever people refer to an ES game, it's always as "Morrowind" or "Oblivion" and never "The Elder Scrolls". Could it hurt TES' performance? We can't know for sure, but the fact that I have to think for a split second every time I see the name Elder Scrolls to remember what it is is NOT a good sign. Advantage: Street Fighter Conclusion As Halo/Castlevania, GTA/Warcraft and Mega Man/Mario Kart have all shown us, established older series are uniformly favored over more smaller, more recent series.
