Well, I was assuming that Mega Man X got SFFed a tad too... I mean
we've seen Mega Man tussle with Nintendo before. That's why I wasn't
expecting quite this much. --- Raiden is still [!!] nominations short! http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=27664244 |

MMX got SFFed, yes, but I'm thinking it could give Metroid a good match
(mostly because I'm hoping it could give Pokemon a match at least), and
MMX didn't get SFFed as much as Metroid is right now. It has the
Playstation games to diversify it a little, but Samus has been in
Link's shadow from day one. --- 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. |

BTW - as of right now, Kirby would be expected to get 9.58% against Zelda................. that puts Kirby below the level of Pong, Guybrush Threepwood and Ratchet - at the same level as Yuri Hyuga, Panzer Dragoon Saga and Civilization ............OUCH. --- "In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women...." - Homer Simpson |

Because now it's not dominating in the slightest! Duh! It needs to be 85% for that! And I noticed that Zelda has yet to be brought under 80% yet. Unprecedented, I believe. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

I was thinking this would get real bad until I saw the pic...forgot
that with uber-series pics shouldn't matter; mid-carders and fodder
could be pic-sensitive, but not the Big Three. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

God ****ing dammit. This is the worst match result EVER. And I'm usually not one to complain, either. Now after Mario/Samus and now this, I have no clue how Samus managed to score so high on Link in 2003. --- i thought people on gamefaqs had good taste in games i guess i was wrong -EstUmbra |

Hmm. Link had a 80%+ run in 2004, so that unprecedented stuff is out the window. Interestingly, he won that year too. The loser of Zelda/Final Fantasy losing and getting 100,000 votes? Let's hope! --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

Indeed, the extent of Zelda's SFF doesn't really help it out in that inevitable finals match. Now if this were, say, Resident Evil here, people might have reason to rejoice. --- Do not kill.

But that would mean that Samus is *so* much more to Metroid than Link
is to Zelda it's unbelievable. Well, it's already unbelievable to me,

Well, it's already unbelievable to me, but you get the point... Agreed. Even with SSB in mind, this is just sick.

Has the Metroid series ever failed to underwhelm us? Even those who expect it to underwhelm keep overestimating it. The one bright spot is Wind Waker/Metroid Prime. Maybe it shows how hated Wind Waker really is by many. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

oh, Samus gets the majority of her strength from Metroid.. it's just

The number one reason why I think Wind Waker is overrated isn't
Starcraft. It's that it performed so poorly against Metroid Prime. --- 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. |

but really, Metroid is a mere 7 games, and only two of them are thought
to be great. Zelda's got all that plus more. I suppose this isn't too surprising. --- SERIOUS REMINDER: vote for Kingdom Hearts. raytan's perfect bracket depends on it! NORG WILL NOT GO DOWN SO EASILY |
