And yet the crew was still split 5-4 in favor of Mario Kart, right? It was supposed to be just as established as Mega Man and far more popular...right?

I think what ultimately did Mario Kart in is that its viewed as just a Mario side series. I think Melee in two games has done enough to rise above that, and by a bit, too. It's the same thing I meant when I said a few topics ago that you could probably launch the Wii with Smash, but not Kart.

I feel like we should be more excited for this match. Does anyone think it's going to be close, or will whoever wins win comfortably?

Oh, I'm plenty excited about this match. I just don't think there's anything left to say about it. All we can do now is...wait.

I feel the opposite, but meh. It wouldn't upset me in the least if Sonic wins. Both series are awesome in my book.

Eh, I'm getting a bit dreary of Sonic's chances too, but that's mainly because I'm weary of Sonic ever pulling an upset ever...

...although, let's say SSB wins and beats Sonic so badly that DQ ends up above DMC. Do you stick the SFF tag on it? I do.

Though SSB's proven to be great as well in that aspect...

SSB is a huge board favorite.


And why do people insist on calling matches before we've even had the first proper update?

OK, don't bite my head off: like I said there were so many people seriously talking of a Sonic upset. I overestimated how many thought that.

I have SSB and knew it would win, regardless of what happens.

Ouch, I was wrong.

I'm goin' to let this match go on awhile longer before I cast my vote -- I like both series alot. Right now though, it's lookin' like Sonic may need it more.
