| Lead of 237 against SF already is equivalent to 2000 against KH. Street Fighter has no hope in this match. |

Maybe I'm wrong, but it is looking eerily similar to GTA/Warcraft.
We'll see how it plays out, I'll probably end up looking like a fool
though... --- Sp2k6: 28/30 Rank: Tied for 460th Losses: Halo, GTA but im gonna cry if he (Sonic) loses. Yesterday's Pick: FF Today: SF Tomorrow: Zelda - Zikten on the Sonic/SSB match |

I don't think there was SFF in MM/MK...but I'm not ruling it
impossible. Afterall, I think Yoshi wins those Mario-fave polls because
of the spin-offs, and Mega Man has SFF'd Yoshi before. Hard to say, but I don't think it's far from MK's true strength if it isn't what we have already seen. --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=585007 |

Another stall... I'm gone for the night. --- 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 |

hey look, people calling a 51-49 match with 23 hours to go. *cheers* --- xyzzy I lost a sig bet to War13104. Yes, the same guy who had Kefka over Crono. FOR THE HORDE! |

Yeah, you think that. Why not? It's a Noble Niner's Nintendo series against a spinoff Nintendo series, a touch of SFF is by no means impossible (though I certainly don't think it's significant). Same deal with SSB/Sonic. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

For what it's worth, Street Fighter II was leading Super Mario RPG with
close to 51% when the poll started, but Super Mario RPG came back to
win with 56%. Although, to play Devil's Advocate, Super Mario RPG probably has a way better day vote then Resident Evil does. --- "Dropo! You're the laziest man on Mars." |

Meh, when a match is within 60/40, I'm very hesitant to call for SFF
unless it's blatantly obvious (Mario/Samus is really the only thing
that stands out). --- "A huge void in her heart. It is filled not by darkness, but kindness from others." - Presea Combatir, the Empty Soul |

well, if you never had seen Samus and Mario before, would you have
called SFF in a 60-40 Samus loss? would you expect Samus to be stronger
than Mario in the first place? with MK/MM, you really have no idea because we've never seen them before. --- xyzzy I lost a sig bet to War13104. Yes, the same guy who had Kefka over Crono. FOR THE HORDE! |

And it doesn't appear that Bowser/Yoshi or Yoshi/Luigi had any SFF either, and they're from the same series. --- "A huge void in her heart. It is filled not by darkness, but kindness from others." - Presea Combatir, the Empty Soul |

well, if you never had seen Samus and Mario before, would you have called SFF in a 60-40 Samus loss? Oh, I would've called rSFF, all right. For Samus. --- "A huge void in her heart. It is filled not by darkness, but kindness from others." - Presea Combatir, the Empty Soul |

-1199 to +3416 Was that the biggest swing ever? Well, not counting the first update of couse, since Cloud probably had a million vote swing against Cats. |

At the 1:00 mark, this match has 11909 votes.

Well, it's certainly possible -- in fact, it's probable -- that MM/MK
had no SFF whatsoever. But I like to keep the possibility for MK to be
underrated open. I certainly don't think Street Fighter is going to be
underrated based on this match in any way... --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

Not much, really. Honestly, even if it couldn't beat SF, Mega Man still has a lot of room to work with. There's no way in my mind it's not Capcom's #1 series. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

Eh, what does it matter if Mario Kart's underrated or not? I expect people to try and gauge Mega Man 2/3 and SMK/MK64 through their matches in this contest, should they ever actually make a game contest. I'm not saying it's the best idea, but it can at least give us some hints. --- xyzzy I lost a sig bet to War13104. Yes, the same guy who had Kefka over Crono. FOR THE HORDE! |

Of course, as soon as RE gets a big gain, SF turns right around with an update win. Exactly 51/49 now, baby! --- "A huge void in her heart. It is filled not by darkness, but kindness from others." - Presea Combatir, the Empty Soul |

It's not so much that the Crew debates it as it is the match itself
being debated. Honestly, no one on the Crew gave WC a shot in hell, but
it was the second most popular upset on the board (and would have been
first if it weren't for stats guys endorsing MK > MM). --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

You gotta make more of your upset picks Nintendo-endorsed. Get behind a

From: LessThan3Presea It wasn't really "debated" by the Crew. Lopen and I are the odd ones out. As KH said, I meant debated on the board. Halo, GTA, MM, KH, Sonic, all heavily debated on the board and all picked by the crew and they all lost. --- Sp2k6: 28/30 Rank: Tied for 460th Losses: Halo, GTA but im gonna cry if he (Sonic) loses.
