In seeing the last hour of this match, all I gotta say is... SF2
shocked the world, and I have never been prouder to take a loss as I am
today. Oh and FFDragon: I saw you admit somewhere else on this board that even you, the poster boy for Jill Valentine, was shocked by the results today. Made me weep in my Kleenex to read that post! *sob sob* Now to write a Round 3 Analysis due to popular demand! --- Steve Illumina: Sage of Board 8 & Elitist Analyst Score: 28/32. Next Win: Zelda... |

Shocked the world? You were the one who expected it to win, Steve. I don't really like this theme, but maybe The Boss or Krauser can get into a pic... *marks out* --- That... was her final mission. And like a true soldier, she saw it through the end. ZSB [aX] |

I like the background for Zelda (though it's hard to notice), but
though I can't call it a bad match picture, I don't like it at all.

then...nothing. Seriously, this is like the quietest I've ever since the board during a close match...you'd usually see a bunch of noob's running around at the least, but just....nothin' really --- Character Noms: Ken, Chun-Li, Kasumi, Morrigan, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

"His analyses are entertaining to the core, and he is one of Board 8's most hilarious users. Steve Steve Steve "The way he mocks the 'fanbabies' and incites them over trivial things is laughable!" Illumina Illumina Illumina I come out to the cheers of my adoring fans and the jeers of a group of Anti-Steve protesters, and taking the mic, I bellow: "Welcome kiddies, to another column of Steve Illumina Speaks, I am your host, Steve! Now, for the first Round 3 showdown!"

Anti-Stever Guest Pick: "Im XIII and I picked Metroid cause I love it!" Continuing the interview from the other day when yours truly was being asked some questions by Sushi X, the legendary reporter from what gaming mag? (Who knows the answer? Impress me!) Sushi: OK Steve in the first segment we learned that you are 28, one of this site's oldest posters, and you started your gaming hobby with an Intellivision at age 6 but got the NES in 1985. Can you tell us some of your favorite NES moments? Steve: Be happy too, friend. SMB was my first game I ever beat, like it was for many other kids. But I branched out, getting games anytime I could from my parents, from friends, etc. It was not long til I got the shiny golden Zelda cartridge. I remember thinking at first it was real gold! Sushi: Heh, me too Steve, me too. Any special NES achievements? Steve: Well, I was able to, and still can, play through the hack job arcade translation of 1943 without dying, and I even had my high score in some old issues of Nintendo Power back in the day. And Ive beaten over 150 games on that system, pretty much anything notable...its been beaten by yours truly. Sushi: What are your fav NES games? Steve: Well 1943 obviously, got me into shooters, a genre that no one loves here... a pity. Loved FF and the Dragon Warriors and played through them so many times. Crystalis: great game. Faxanadu: underrated game I always liked. RC Pro Am: Fun fun fun. Mega Man 2-3 are still as amazing today as they were then. Sushi: How long was it til u got the Genesis? Steve: Genesis? That crap that Sonic built...that loser! HA! In those days, I was a Nintendo fanboy through and through. Infact, I never owned any Sega system til the Dreamcast! Sushi: Really? Steve: Yep really. But I had an SNES at launch day. ALl my friends were jealous I remember, they all wanted to touch it and play Mario World. We were all just so amazed at how beautiful that game was at the time compared to all the NES games we played so much for so long. Sushi: And then what happened? Steve: Well for me, the SNES will likely always be the greatest system of all time. Too many great gaming memories man. Too many to even list here, I could take up a whole topic talking about my SNES fanboyism! Sushi: Well then lets get to the real burning questions then...in the next installment of Steve Illumina Speaks! --- Steve Illumina: Sage of Board 8 & Elitist Analyst Score: 28/32.

Hyrule Division: Round 3 - Match 25 – (1)Legend of Zelda vs. (2)Metroid Moltar’s Analysis Legend of Zelda - Just imagine it after Twilight Princess! Round 1 – 89.97% vs. Civilization (10.03%) Round 2 – 80.32% vs. Mega Man X (19.68%) MMX fails to break even 20% on the LoZ series. Metroid - Going to be just another victim. Round 1 – 70.57% vs. Kirby (29.43%) Round 2 – 52.56% vs. Pokemon (47.44%) Pokemon ends up stronger than most of us thought and gives Metroid a challenge. Round 3, another Zelda match, oh boy. I guess since FF got 100K against MM without even getting the tripling, it’s time for Zelda to show off. Before Metroid stuggled with Pokemon, LoZ was beating MMX with over 80% of the vote. Now, the original Mega Man series was abole to avoid getting doubled by Final Fantasy. So this means either the original is stronger or MMX suffered some SFF…or a combination of both. Whatever the case, with LoZ able to SFF anything from Nintendo while Metroid can’t seem to SFF anything from Nintendo, this is looking back for Samus’ series. That’s not it too. We’ve already seen Link to the Past take on Super Metroid and triple it. Now add in the rest of both series and you can add in a little more for Zelda. Metroid could end up weaker than MMX, but I think it can at least scrape up 20%. Moltar’s Bracket Says: Legend of Zelda will win. Moltar’s Prediction is: LoZ: 78% - Metroid: 22% Ulti’s Analysis http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1646 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1639 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1633 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2122 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2115 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1361 And let's not forget about Samus's most recent debacle concerning all-Nintendo matches featuring her presence: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2442 Samus/Kirby was an anomaly, to be frank. Prediction: Zelda with 80.99% Soul’s Analysis LoZ defeated Mega Man X with 80.32% Metroid defeated Pokemon with 52.56% Another round, another SFF beatdown by Legend of Zelda! Hooray! This whole division is going to hell. Seriously. Mega Man is going to be the second strongest game in this division, and it couldn't even break 20% against Zelda. SFF, you killer of all things good. Not much more you can say about this match, really. Metroid underperformed in the last round, and I'll be shocked as all hell if it outranks MMX. My prediction: Legend of Zelda wins with 81.25% of the vote. Mnm’s Analysis Battle Music: Boss Battle 2 (Ridley, SM) Well, we all know what happens when The Legend of Zelda hooks up with another Nintendo series right? SFF up the wazoo. Just ask Super Metroid and Super Mario 64, who are still feeling their respective beatings in the Spring 2004 Games Contest. And this is the strongest Zelda entity that we've seen in a contest setting so far. Metroid has been showing tendencies to get SFF'd, and it's allowing Pokemon to stay close to it only serves as an omen to how bad LoZ will beat it. While Metroid Prime's showing against The Wind Waker showed a little bit of promise, the sheer numbers behind the Zelda franchise will kill Metroid. Seeing how LoZ beat MMX about 80/20, if Metroid can avoid the tripling, call it a moral victory. I personally think that Metroid is stronger than Mega Man X, but it's also more susceptible to SFF from LoZ. Look for a similar beating. Bracket: The Legend of Zelda Vote: Metroid Prediction: The Legend of Zelda with 79.5% (preparing to be boxed in...) |

Leon’s Analysis Two matches, two 100,000+ vote performances by the Legend of Zelda. That alone should speak for itself. It’s also showing to be a massive vote draw as expected, as its match against Mega Man X ended up being the third highest ever. It already had a cakewalk to the finals of this contest, but it’s looking to be even easier than we originally expected all the time. With Metroid struggling to beat Pokemon (granted, we knew it was going to destroy it anyway, but now it looks to be even uglier than originally anticipated) and Metal Gear failing to double up Fire Emblem, the Legend of Zelda may never know what it feels like to be under 70% until the finals. As far as Metroid is concerned, it was looking pretty good after a 70% showing against Kirby seemingly showed that it was capable of pulling off SFF at all, but then…Pokemon happened. It was an unexpected struggle for Metroid all day, as it was in the 52% range for most of the match and at times had difficulty building its lead, occasionally losing updates. The 6000 vote win was the second closest match up to that point, which virtually nobody would have figured before the Series Contest began. I figured it would have probably get tripled by the Legend of Zelda, but now I’m doubting whether or not it can avoid the quadrupling. Keep in mind that A Link to the Past tripled Super Metroid in the Games Contest, and Ocarina of Time likely would’ve done a little better. I don’t know if it’s stronger than Metroid Prime or not, though I wager it’d be close. In its favor, Prime did manage to avoid being SFF’d by The Wind Waker, but it seems like that would be one of the least likely Zelda games to manage SFF. While I think Metroid could likely beat Mega Man X, I think the overlap with the Legend of Zelda is greater and it will get beaten a little worse. Leonhart’s Prediction: The Legend of Zelda with 82.16% Yoblazer’s Analysis Everyone already knew this match's result before the contest started; the difficulty revolves around predicting just how ugly it will look. After watching Zelda maul Mega Man X and Metroid shockingly struggle with Pokemon, the answer is looking clear - pretty damn ugly. The Legend of Zelda is the god of all things SFF, and Metroid has shown, on more than one occasion, that it is very unimpressive when it comes to swaying the Nintendo fans. We all remember the 74/26 loss A Link to the Past gave Super Metroid in 2004. The question now is whether or not this match will be even more lopsided. I believe that all the other Zelda games do more to strengthen their series (it does have the second strongest game on the site, after all) than Metroid can, so the answer is yes. Zelda earns its third straight quadrupling. The Legend of Zelda + Two of the four most popular games on the site + Many more popular games + The holy grail of Nintendo fans + SFF wrecking machine + Credibility up the wazoo + Extremely impressive Round 2 win - None here Metroid + Lots of credibility + Old school hit and the Primes to get it on the right track again - Very spotty SFF history - Bad, bad Round 2 win - It's up against Zelda My prediction: The Legend of Zelda def. Metroid (81-19) |

HM’s Analysis The Legend of Zelda Previous Matches : The Legend of Zelda – 89.97% -- 100,163 Civilization – 10.03% -- 11,169 The Legend of Zelda – 80.32% -- 104,400 Mega Man X – 19.68% -- 25,577 Metroid Previous Matches : Metroid – 70.57% -- 75,098 Kirby – 29.43% -- 31, 312 Pokemon – 47.44% -- 59,428 Metroid – 52.56% -- 65,831 Last round was rather interesting both matches, but particularly Metroid’s. It was a total shock to everyone when Pokemon actually made things somewhat interesting at the beginning of the match. On Zelda’s side, it totally blew out Mega Man X in a SFF-esque fashion. It also went on to gather up its second straight match with 100,000+, which is extremely impressive against an actual noteworthy opponent. The Legend of Zelda showed absolutely no mercy last round when it completely decimated Mega Man X. I certainly never suspected it would be able to quadruple Mega Man X, even with potential SFF. Link was only able to double Mega Man, but the series that he comes from absolutely dominated the Blue Bomber’s series. The other notable thing about this match is the fact that Zelda got another 100,000+ votes, which is another unprecedented feat. One thing is pretty clear – Zelda is not allowing Final Fantasy to get all the attention. Metroid, on the other hand, totally bombed against Pokemon. Many of us were expecting a large blowout, certainly larger than what Metroid did against Kirby. But Pokemon was able to make things somewhat interesting. We knew that Samus was not able to SFF things and that the Metroid series as a whole was susceptible to SFF, but wow. Perhaps this speaks of Pokemon’s strength over Metroid’s weakness, but we’ll unfortunately never be able to find out with Zelda ready to lay a SFF smack down. Yeah. This match really does not require much analysis at all. It is clear that Zelda is Nintendo’s top series in this contest. It has the ability to SFF just about anything related to Nintendo, so this match should be a fine example of that. It sucks that we won’t get a good read on this division – I wanted to see how well Star Ocean held up – but it’s unlikely it will ever matter because we’re not likely to ever get this contest again. Aitch Emm’s Bracket : The Legend of Zelda Aitch Emm’s Prediction : The Legend of Zelda – 82% ; Metroid – 18% Aitch Emm’s Vote : The Legend of Zelda Lopen’s Analysis Well, the way I see it, Metroid collapses in situations against Nintendo. You saw Pokemon take it down to size… even though that was part Pokemon not being as hated as we think. Er… anyway, I think at base Metroid's a bit more popular than Mega Man X… but not as much as some would make us believe. I also think that Mega Man X will hold up against Nintendo a bit better than Metroid... because of the PS games, or because it's not Metroid. I don't know. So, what does this all mean? It means that they're going to cancel out, of course! Legend of Zelda is gonna win by about the same as it beat Mega Man X by. Let's subtract 2% from my last pick for good measure. Why two? Because it's the first prime number. … what? Lopen's Prediction: Legend of Zelda with 78.59%. |

HaRRich’s Analysis Predicted winner: Legend of Zelda Earlier this contest: ---LoZ - 89.97% on Civilization, 80.32% on Mega Man X ---Metroid - 70.57% on Kirby, 52.56% on Pokemon Top 100 List comparison: ---LoZ:OoT - #2, LoZ:LttP - #4, LoZ - #30, LoZ:WW - #45, LoZ:MM - #46 ---Super Metroid - #24, Metroid Prime - #29, Metroid - #65, MP2: Echoes - #74 (Metroid Fusion was on the drop-down list yet didn't make the Top 100 List) Best Game Ever x-stat comparison: ---LoZ:OoT - 46.18% (32-64 Division runner-up), LoZ:LttP - 41.61% (16 Division runner-up), LoZ:WW - 37.29% (was behind Starcraft), LoZ - 34.49% (8 Divison runner-up) ---Metroid Prime - 33.4% (may have been SFF'd by LoZ:WW, was behind Starcraft), Super Metroid - 21.63% (SFF'd by LoZ:LttP), Metroid - 17.53% (SFF'd by SMB3) http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=525 Yeah...LoZ alone beat all the other Nintendo franchises combined -- including Metroid and before LoZ:WW -- so there's no way this match is in question as to who's winning. However, look at a few things there: one, that was held before the Gamecube was released...so, while there was no LoZ:WW, Metroid's stock has risen a LOT; MP, MP2, MF, MZM, MP:H, and maybe some other abbreviations I forgot. Two, skim over some of the Metroid-related matches, and you'll see that Samus is both rarely ever dishing SFF (only arguably in Samus/Isaac and Metroid/Kirby) and often hurting because of SFF (SMB3/Metroid, LoZ:LttP/SM, LoZ:WW/MP perhaps, and Mario/Samus)...yet, Samus herself has resisted SFF against Link before, too, despite her biggest games showing weakness to LoZ and Samus being SFF'd hard by a weaker Nintendo character. Three, forget the poll and just compare the series -- as far as generations go, LoZ has outdone Metroid in everything it does, and it arguably has done the same if you compare systems or compare their games in order of their strength (LoZ:OoT/SM, LoZ:LttP/MP, LoZ/Metroid, and so on.....). Last, the leaderboard...if the leaderboard changes any for this match, I'll slap somebody. Everybody on there should have LoZ > Metroid by now. Legend of Zelda wins with 76.12% Comments: SURPRISE, LoZ WINS! |

Continuing the interview from the other day when yours truly was being asked some questions by Sushi X, the legendary reporter from what gaming mag? (Who knows the answer? Impress me!)
