I can't see RE outdoing Mega Man. FF/MM was a Nintendo/Square match, every RE game of note except for RE4 would likely get SFFed by FF7. I don't think RE4 is stronger than the Mega Man series.

When was the first use of the term "votal"?

It was thrown around here and there since 2k2. During the Summer 2k5 contest, Karma Hunter accidently spelt "vote totals" as "votals" which brought it into popular use.

BOLD ASSUMPTION: RE has no real strength, it just got votes in RE/SH because honestly, who the hell has heard of, let alone PLAYED a Shadow Hearts game?

This is another case where people on this board think that the habits and opinions of this board are a good representation of what real people think.

There is no way FF breaks 80% on Resident Evil, provided we don't get this steaming pile of trash pic again... 71-72% tops.

I told everyone RE's first match win was nothing. But did you all listen? Nope...nope...nope...!

O_o

An arcade series is not going to beat something like RE4. Just shut up.

FF will embarrass it with over 80%. Who will defend it then?

Anti-FF bandwagon just crash and burn. Crash and burn.

Also, RE is going to get DESTROYED by Final Fantasy giving Shadow Hearts what could be the worst X-Stat ranking of all time.

That puts RE too close to Mega Man in my book, and that's before any potential SFF. No way does RE escape the tripling.

If FF wins the contest, it would have to break... *feigns calculations* 86% against Resident Evil for Shadow Hearts to have a lower % than Adventure/Tanner.

Street Fighter vs. Resident Evil - Bracket: RE - Vote: RE (28/30)
Big Bob | Posted 7/24/2006 9:39:01 PM | message detail
Actually, that statement about Resident Evil might be true. According to the 2k4 Xstats...

Tanner (2004c) VS Donkey Kong (2004c)

Tanner has a strength of 3.77.
Donkey Kong has a strength of 23.55.

Donkey Kong wins with 92.00% of the vote!
A win of 68,082 with 81,058 total votes cast.

Now, they aren't totally accurate, but a bottom of the barrel character like Tanner would still be held under 10% by Donkey Kong, a mere midcarder who's still nowhere near Snake's level.

So Shadow Hearts is gonna end up with like 5% in the Xstats.

Samus is overrated! Mega Man would have been able to crush Yuri much worse than that!

Damn it, quit looking past SF! The match isn't over!! I do say... this stall is something fierce!!

And if SF wins, no way am I expecting it to even come close to Mega Man... and I'd expect RE to do even worse than SF, even if it wins.

Heh, perhaps I am overreacting to MM's 2 royal beatdowns this round...
RPGuy96 | Posted 7/24/2006 9:44:53 PM | message detail
SH = 6% means RE gets 24.51% on FF
SH = 5% means RE gets 20.24% on FF.
SH = 4% means RE gets 16.34% on FF
SH = 3.16% means RE gets 12.91% on FF.

So RE has to do really bad for SH to fall under unadjusted Tanner on 2k4 Link, the worst possible XS we can come up with.

I know I've underestimated SF before, but I still think MK has enough to pull it out. I don't think the Mario RPGs as a whole would win against Mario Kart, for what it's worth.

If Mario RPG is considered a seires of it's own (including Paper Mario and GBA games) Mario Kart stands no chance.
HaRRicH | Posted 7/24/2006 9:48:51 PM | message detail
I'm not saying a word about the Mario RPGs, but unless RE4 did so much more than we expected, MM is still the #1 Capcom series...and, depending on how the day-vote goes, it probably ain't unreasonable in the least to think Mario Kart could give Street Fighter a great fight if not outright win.

Fun thing is, RE would definitely be losing if it weren't for RE4. The question is, would the consensus have been so massive? I know it wouldn't have, I just wonder to which extent.

I don't see the Mario RPG series of anything of insane worth here. Sure, SMRPG is strong itself, but Paper Mario and PM2 don't seem to carry the same clout.

Everyone seems to be more down on Mario Kart because of what happened to it against Mega Man...but I've never relinquished the idea that MK got a touch of SFF, and for all we know at the end of this Mega Man could end up the 4th strongest series.

Yeah, you think that. And the Paper Mario games wouldn't do too badly for themselves, really.

And if I did my calculations correctly, Mario Kart gets 21.62% on Final Fantasy. That should be pretty good for this contest, but unless FF SFFs RE, it'll do better than that.
