Match XV: (3) The Elder Scrolls vs. (6) Street Fighter

Games in series

The Elder Scrolls: Arena (PC, 1994)
The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall (PC, 1996)
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (PC, 2002)
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (PC, 2006)

Street Fighter (ARC, 1987)
Street Fighter 2 (ARC, 1992)
Street Fighter Alpha (ARC, 1995)
Street Fighter Alpha 2 (ARC, 1996)
Street Fighter 3 (ARC, 1997)
Street Fighter Alpha 3 (ARC, 1998)

Analysis:

I’ve never played TES due to the slowness of my computer/not owning an Xbox/360, but from what I found out it’s a RPG with many quests and you get to choose in what order you want to do them. It is very different from other RPG like Final Fantasy because of the freedom of doing whatever you want and still get through the story. In SF you fight in the Street Fighter Tournament, in some you just play as Ryu while others you can play with other characters as well. The characters fight for different reasons, some fight for revenge while some fight to be the very best in the world.

How did TES get a 3 seed? Not many people nominated it from Board 8 so I guess it must be really popular in RI or did other boards get the nomination topic as well? This was another match that didn’t get much talk during the beginning of the bracket making session. Even though TES is the 3 seed it will be the underdog going into the match.

The problem I see for TES is the “The Elder Scroll” part. I bet I wasn’t the only one that went The Elder Scrolls what’s that *searches* oh the series with Morrowind and Oblivion and I come from a group of friends that have been talking about those two games months after it was released. This wouldn’t make a difference to the people who own the games, but it will to the people who have never heard what the series is called, but have heard how great Morrwind or Oblivion is.

Street Fighter will probably win on name recognition alone after the 100+ different installments of Street Fighter II. All I see this match doing is taking down a few casual perfects that have played a game from TES.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Street Fighter over The Elder Scrolls

Ultima Division: Round 1 - Match 15 – (3)Elder Scrolls vs. (6)Street Fighter

Moltar’s Analysis

Elder Scrolls
Yeah, Elder Scrolls! You know, the series with Morrowind and recently released Oblivion on the Xbox 360? Yeah, they’re in the Elder Scrolls series.

Street Fighter
Street Fighter is one of, if not, the most popular fighting franchises there are. Most everyone has played a Street Fighter game. Even the current generation can play it with all the Collections coming out.

WTF at the backwards seeding in this match. Street Fighter is pretty popular, yet it only received a 6 seed, while many didn’t even know Oblivion and Morrowind came from the Elder Scrolls series and it got a 3 seed. Interesting…

Billy the Casual Bracketmaker: Oh wowie gee, does this mean Elder Scrolls will win since it’s the higher seed?

No, Billy. We can’t look at it like that. Elder Scrolls might be seeded higher, but Street Fighter is the more popular series. Also, look at this. Many people are banking on the Street Fighter name to carry it in this match. As for Elder Scrolls, it is possible that the only reason it’s seeded so highly is because of the new game, Oblivion, on the Xbox.

Billy: So…what are you saying?

I’m saying, Billy, that the casual voter might not recognize the Elder Scrolls name. And if they do, they’ll most likely be voting for it because of Oblivion, or possibly Morrowind. The Street Fighter series, on the other hand, is a series pretty much everyone recognizes, and I think that will be a big factor in this match.

Billy: Does that mean you have Street Fighter winning, Moltar?

Yes, yes it does.

Billy: And now I know!

And knowing is half the battle!

Moltar’s Bracket Says: Street Fighter will win.

Moltar’s Prediction is: Elder Scrolls: 34% - Street Fighter: 66%



Ulti’s Analysis

These seeds aren't reversed because...?

Anyway, this match would be in question if it were "Oblivion v Street Fighter 2". But I'm willing to bet that most Oblivion players don't even know "The Elder Scrolls" is attached to Oblivion's name. Sorry I can't write more than "SF2 causes SF to win", but I've never played a game in the TES series :(

Prediction: Sf with 59.24%



Soul’s Analysis

WTF SF2 LOST?!?!?!? (Let's see how many people put this in)

Anyways, this will be another seeding upset. Poor 3 seeds... can never seem to catch a break in these contests.

Yes, Street Fighter will win this. Reason? Elder Scrolls is a PC game not from Blizzard. Simple right? Street Fighter is definitely not the strongest series in this division, but it should be able to defeat Oblivion rather easily.

My prediction: Street Fighter wins with 61.15% of the vote.



Yoblazer’s Analysis

Are you kidding me? After what we've seen these past dozen days, this match should not even be a blip on the radar. Had this contest taken place last year (pre-Oblivion), everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY, would be calling for the tripling. Is Oblivion supposed to reverse all that? Is it suddenly supposed to render Street Fighter's monumental impact on our industry meaningless? Will it erase the memories of brothers huddled over the television, getting in a quick round of Ken vs. Ryu in-between X-Men and Spiderman on Saturday mornings? Will it erase the memories of friends digging through their pockets, searching desperately for that one last quarter at the arcade? Will it erase cheat codes that got you color-swapped characters (a BLUE RYU?!)? Will Oblivion erase Street Fighter? HELL ****ING NO.

- Uhh... it uh... for this match, you see... **** this, where's my SNES?!

My prediction: Street Fighter def. The Elder Scrolls (73-27)



Leon’s Analysis

Honestly, this is a difficult match to gauge, as far as what the percentages will be. I really don’t know what to expect from The Elder Scrolls. It could do anything from win this match to becoming like the last 3 seed who faced a 6th seeded Street Fighter (That’s Albedo against Bison, for those of you who need some help figuring that one out). It’s obvious that Oblivion is popular and is a heavy contender for Game of the Year just about anywhere, but its main problem is that it’s on two platforms that aren’t exactly popular on GameFAQs: XBox 360 and the PC. Well, I shouldn’t say that the PC isn’t popular, but compared to many video game sites, it isn’t.

We don’t have much to work with as far as the Elder Scrolls is concerned. The newest installment, Oblivion, has consistently been in the top 5 FAQs since its release, but that doesn’t really mean too much. We saw GTA: San Andreas at the top of the list when Carl Johnson lost to Ness. The only poll we have to work with was one taken around a month ago asking what the voters thought the Game of the Year was so far. Oblivion didn’t unexpectedly well (or Kingdom Hearts II did unexpectedly poorly, depending on who you ask), finishing second with 22.1%, only 5.53% behind KHII. In my opinion, Oblivion doing that well wasn’t THAT surprising. After all, it has been heavily praised nearly everywhere, and gamers seem to agree that it is that good.

The Street Fighter series is one that needs no introduction. It is one of the most respected and revolutionary series in the entire video gaming industry. In fact, that is what many expected would carry it to a victory over Super Mario RPG in the Games Contest. However, this was not meant to be, as it collapsed during the Nintendo morning vote and lost the lead it had built during the early hours of the poll. The series certainly won’t suffer from lack of name recognition, which is something many Elder Scrolls fans are fearing.

We’ve also seen four Street Fighter characters throughout the history of the Character Contest. However, they have almost become infamous for bad luck in contest draws. Ryu is easily the strongest representative and is a high midcarder, but even so, he’s only had enough favor to make the Sweet Sixteen ONCE. Ken Masters was stuck against Noble Niners in both of his contest appearances, and Chun-Li made her debut in 2005 against Bowser, who had just made the Final Four of the Villains Contest and had broken 40% on Sephiroth. In other words, she had no chance. Bison actually won a match in the Villains Contest. Granted, it was against pathetic competition, but he won. He actually had a fairly decent chance of making the Final Four, getting the closest in the Ruin Division to Diablo, though he was never able to catch him once daybreak hit. Now in spite of their lackluster overall record, Street Fighter characters have shown themselves to be decent midcarders (and a high midcarder in Ryu’s case).

In regards to this match, the decisive factor for me is which series I could see winning this match the most easily. If Elder Scrolls wins, I think it would be have to be a struggle. I could see Street Fighter winning this match easily. Elder Scrolls does have an advantage when it comes to recency as Oblivion is one of the biggest games of 2006, and it’s been a long time since we’ve had a big Street Fighter release (and we may never have another one). Yet in the end, I have to side with the classic fighting series.

Leonhart’s Prediction: Street Fighter with 59.99%

HM’s Analysis

Match number two featuring a Capcom franchise – CJayC just loved packing these in the Ultima Division. The most intriguing thing about this match is why there are people actually giving Elder Scrolls anything resembling a chance in this one. It is pretty hard for me to understand just what Elder Scrolls is bringing to the table in strength and popularity that Street Fighter – one of the most classic and well known series of all-time – cannot match. Elder Scrolls, thanks to Oblivion, got into the contest, but it isn’t going to do any surprising, unless you’re expecting it to win …

There is not much that needs to be covered in this one, so I’ll try to keep it relatively short. We all know that Street Fighter is a historic franchise, it produces pretty strong characters (Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Bison), and none of them ever end up being fodder, despite being from a fighting game franchise. We have seen Street Fighter II perform in the games contest before, and while it was not the best of performances, it was still more than good enough to beat with Elder Scrolls game with ease.

Elder Scrolls is being looked at due to Oblivion, and likely its performance in the recent “Best Game of the Year so far?” Well, it did not perform that well in the poll. The other notable thing might be that Oblivion is currently rocking the Top FAQ listings, but I would point out that there have not been many notable games that need FAQs as much as games like Oblivion. But then you just need to examine the most recent “Got Xbox 360?” poll …

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2303

As one can see there, there is a good 83% that do not currently own an Xbox 360. Yes, Oblivion is on the PC, too, but I really do not think this game has made nearly the impact that is warranted to overcome something like Street Fighter. I would take Street Fighter II over any Elder Scrolls game – and I wouldn’t think twice about it. With so many popular games spanning so many generations and so many consoles, it is hard to choose against something like Street Fighter. Rack up another victory for Capcom’s franchises.

Aitch Emm’s Bracket Says : Street Fighter will win.

Mnm’s Analysis

Battle Music: Ryu’s Marvel vs. Capcom Theme

I fail to see why people are saying this should be a debated match. We have the Elder Scrolls vs. Street Fighter. Elder Scrolls… vs. Street Fighter as a series. I understand that Oblivion is probably a pretty popular game, and I won’t even say garbage like “people won’t know that Oblivion is an Elder Scrolls game”. But still, there is exactly one poll that Elder Scrolls did well in. That’s the poll asking what the GotY is so far. Oblivion did decent, netting a solid 22%, but more notable is the fact that over 30% of the voters hadn’t played any of the games yet. Don’t forget that many times, the Xbox fanbase has shown good support to its representative in those types of polls, so given Oblivion’s fanfare, it was expected that Oblivion did well in that poll. That one poll still gives me very little reason to believe that The Elder Scrolls are more popular on this site than Street Fighter. The other Elder Scrolls games are basically a non-factor as none have shown to have any type of popularity on this site whatsoever.
Master Moltar | Posted 7/15/2006 8:35:33 PM | message detail
So this is basically Oblivion vs. Street Fighter. Some people talk like Street Fighter itself doesn’t have any strength. Let’s not forget that Street Fighter II didn’t just lose to any game in the games contest. It lost to Super Mario RPG. Elder Scrolls is no SMRPG. And even then, SFII still got about 44% on SMRPG, which is damn good. I’ve heard an argument that Star Wars: KOTOR is higher than SFII in the games X-stats, but for one, those X-stats are hardly the bible, and two, Elder Scrolls is no Star Wars. Oblivion doesn’t even have as long as KOTOR did to establish itself.

Also, don’t forget that we’re talking about the Street Fighter series in its entirety. As much as you may want to believe, Street Fighter II isn’t all there is to the Street Fighter series. We’re talking fans of the Alpha games, SFIII, and probably even the Vs. games, as they are pretty much SF games at heart. And don’t forget that Street Fighter Alpha Anthology recently dropped on us just in time for the contest. I don’t see how Elder Scrolls has a chance in this match. The PC and Xbox fanbase will make sure that it performs respectably, but I don’t know how it can actually take down the Street Fighter series.

Bracket: Street Fighter
Vote: Street Fighter
Prediction: Street Fighter with 68.65%



HaRRich’s Analysis

Predicted winner: Street Fighter
Top 100 List comparison:
---TES - N/A (had no games on the drop-down list)
---SF2 - #47
Best Game Ever x-stat comparison:
---TES - N/A (no rep)
---SF2 - 24.08% (SF2 LOST ?!)

Oblivion may be second-in-line for GotY right now, but it's mainly confined to the 360, the sequel to the Xbox that hasn't even been out a year yet. Morrowind may be liked by some (including myself at times), but you would be silly to think that's where much of TES's strength will be coming from. Any other game in the series feels like a non-factor to me, mainly because I never heard of their names (I feel like a real prick, like Colbert...suh-weet)...and I figure that TES may lose the occasional vote simply because people may not realize Morrowind or Oblivion are part of the series -- the series name is more over-looked by the friends I know that any other series I can think of off the top of my head. While both TES games I mentioned do have the PC on their side, I do NOT want to take my chances on two PC/Xbox/360-only non-linear RPGs to beat the SF series. I would take Super Mario RPG over the entire TES series, and the SF series is bound to be stronger than SF2 by itself. The SF series has also been around much longer and has been seen on more systems with more games than TES, and the SF series was essentially the beginning of a popular genre. TES should do fine for itself, but it will be a long-shot to pull off the win.

Street Fighter wins with 59.12%



Lopen’s Analysis

You've got some people signaling the upset alarms at this one. Well you know what I'm saying? Forget it. Go back to your homes and cook your quiche in peace! The Elder Scrolls has all the ingredients for disaster. Let's go over em, numerical list style.

1. It's a series that draws its power from the PC (weakest current gen rep on the site) and the X-Box. (get this… second weakest current gen rep on the site)

2. The name "The Elder Scrolls". What kinda crap is that? It's not something I'd immediately associate with Morrowind or Oblivion before analyzing this bracket to death. It's a thinker of a series title. I maintain that voters don't take excessive time to think. "What's an Elder Scroll, mommy? Is it something old people use when they go potty?"
Aprosenf | Posted 7/15/2006 8:36:17 PM | message detail
Apro's Half-Assed Analysis (AHAA)

Another match that is an old and established series versus a relatively new popular series. As many matches have shown us thus far, the old wins with ease, and this match will be no exception. Street Fighter with 60-63%, yo.

Master Moltar | Posted 7/15/2006 8:36:31 PM | message detail
3. Elder Scrolls hasn't really done anything to make me think it can conquer one and two, despite having plenty of chances to do so. "Oh… oh… Oblivion turned heads in the "game of the year so far?" poll!" No… it really didn't. It didn't do poorly, but it still didn't get much more than 20%. Morrowind was also in an old poll or two, and I don't think it did too admirably either.

Yes, fellows, OMG SF2 LOST!? to Mario RPG. But I'm sick and tired of people bringing it up like that's a bad thing. You think any Elder Scrolls game could pull 45% on Super Mario RPG? Come on! That's a crazy combination! It was a big game for the SNES. Chrono Trigger made it look less fearsome, but being two of the must have RPG games for the SNES, it's possible Something Fishy Found its way into that match. Street Fighter 2 is not as weak as it looks I stand by that.

And you know what? I'm also tired of people claiming Street Fighter 2 is all that Street Fighter has! It's not. I know that the prime time for Street Fighter was back in those classic SNES days, warring with Mortal Kombat for supremacy, but the later games are not a complete non-factor! Ask Morrigan and Strider, with their "coincidentally" close X-Stat values in 2002. Ask them. Oh, they're lovebirds, they were made for each other. That's a cute couple, but damn it, no, that's not it! They're both popular choices in Marvel vs. Capcom 1 and 2! That's why they both happened to land so close together. Sure, Terry Bogard and SNK dudes may suck it up, but I think Capcom fighters still have a fan base on this site. Beyond just SF2. Watch out for the Alpha games and even the vs. crossovers to help Street Fighter out in this match.

This is the Albedo/M. Bison of the contest right here. More known entity goes against some fairly unproven RPG fan base. Entity is still the favorite, but some people believe that entity may lose. People are humbled when entity bludgeons the tar out of unproven RPG fan base. Entity… yeah… makes Street Fighter sound cool, am I right?

Lopen's Prediction: Street Fighter with 68.44%



Comments: The Crew is going with SF here. The percentages are all over the place though. Gauging TES strength is kinda tricky, ya know?

I like how everyone's automatically assuming they know the strength of Elder Scrolls.

Oh yeah, let me tell you, this sure is convincing me of SF > RE, I mean it's not like RE isn't going to give SH ten times the beatdown tomorrow.

You're going against your beloved XBox's day vote power?!

You're not the man I once knew.

Exactly. This match was said by enough people to be close, but regardless, RE is still the favorite.

Well when every other new franchise has appeared weak, I dont know why this one should be different. I mean Elder Scrolls is a bit older, but it didnt get real popular until Morrowind.

The problem is that we can't say how weak. This isn't telling me anything, personally.

If I don't play it, it's not X-Box! Only Ninja Gaiden and Halo have a day vote!

And don't tell me there's no day vote. MK's day vote is what screwed me out of a point just now!

Well we arent going to be able read terribly much from tommorow either. Resident Evil should crush what is probably rivaling Madden as the weakest entry in this contest.

Exactly. I just can't fathom putting much stock into this match at all because Elder Scrolls was a wild card value anyway.

I mean even if Mario can beat RE by 65-35 (seems like a good enough guess), if SH = Madden, RE will win by 89%

Does anybody think there might be some Capcom SFF in SF/RE? I don't think it would be too important, but I bet there would be some. The thing is that I can't decide whose favor it would be in.

Hey, it's Capcom, I'll buy it!

Company SFF... it only works if you're Nintendo, ye fools! And there are reasons for that!
