The fact that Mario has been relegated to endless streams of remakes
aside from NSMB on the handhelds has pissed me off from day one. At
this point, I've almost given up on Nintendo handheld games (shocking,
but I prefer their console material far more). I think that's certainly valid, to be sort of angry at nintendo for whoring Mario like they do. But on the other hand, it's a great way to visit classics without having a functional super nintendo set up, portability, and the like. It's "cheap" by Nintendo in that it's unoriginal, but it's still a lot of fun to play old games on the gba. --- Revenge is a dish best served cold. ~ Old Klingon Proverb |

uhh.. 55-45, CT. woulda said the same before this match I think. you know, I can't help but think about SMW beating Sonic 2 worse than the entire Mario series is beating SSB/M. that's crazy. people love SSBM on this site. I'm scared to death of overestimating it right now though. --- xyzzy I lost a sig bet to War13104. Yes, the same guy who had Kefka over Crono. FOR THE HORDE! |

Take a wild guess as to what is far and away the most popular
Nintendo 64 game to play online via emulator is. I'll even give you
three tries. The instant a GameCube emulator is released with online play, the fanbase for the original SSB will sink faster than the freaking Titanic. That won't be for another few years, though, so stubborn elitists don't need to get sweat on their brow just yet. --- "Thank you, Mario.

| SMB is doing better than I thought. I figured SSB would snatch up 40% of the votes, and it'll come close. |

Link to the Past beats Mario 3 with a measly 52%. If you would have taken SSBM over Mario 3 before this performance, what's stopping you from taking it over LttP? Unless you think LttP has boosted since then (even though Mario related things have seemingly benefitted more than anything else recently from the Ninty boost). And even then, there's still Chrono Trigger, which is probably constant or perhaps even a little weaker. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal.

Just think about Brawl, transience. You're essentially taking an bulked
up SSBM and adding ONLINE PLAY and unquestionably the GREATEST CAST OF
CHARACTERS IN GAMING HISTORY. Gives me shivers. --- Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your WOOOOOOOOORLD!!! |

I don't think SSB's fanbase completely drops once there's emulation
online for GC. what reason is there to not vote SSB just because it's
not SSBM, but you netplayed it? --- “Back in my day we used to actually play our videogames instead of watching them.” - Vivi0198 |

I'd actually give Melee a slight nod over CT at this point...say, 50.5
- 49.5. I'm still a little shellshocked about this match, though, so
that's probably swaying me a bit. --- ALL YOUR VOTES ARE BELONG TO...Pac-Man? |

If you would have taken SSBM over Mario 3 before this performance, what's stopping you from taking it over LttP? To me, unless some game/series/character proves otherwise, Zelda is the god of all things Nintendo. I'll take Ocarina and LttP over anything else. --- Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your WOOOOOOOOORLD!!! |

I'm kinda apprehensive about Brawl, personally. While SSBM was about
ten leapfrogs ahead of SSB, SSBB just seems like SSBM Ver. 1.1 with
online play. The removal of certain characters and "adjusted game
speed" don't help my concerns. The truncated development time also has me worried. The SSBB team was only fully assembled in December of last year. So, by the time it's released, it'll have been worked on for less than 2 years... :/ Less time than SSBM, and SSBB is expected to up the ante with more content and everything. --- "Thank you, Mario.

GREATEST CAST OF CHARACTERS IN GAMING HISTORY. Marvel vs Capcom. But you have a valid point. That one game (brawl) can change everything for all the characters involved. I just hope Mega Man gets some deserved boost from that game. |

CT characters have been getting weaker thoughout the contests. LttP vs

Ocarina and LttP over anything else. I always wondered how Majoras Mask would do against LTTP. Forget about that Zelda poll. More OOT's votes would goto Majoras Mask than LTTP me thinks. |

I didn't like what I saw of Crono last year. Especially against a Megaman that almost lost to Sonic.

I really don't see why people are discouraged by what Crono did against

Believe it or not, it's perfectly possible for Megaman to drop a little

allow that. --- i thought people on gamefaqs had good taste in games i guess i was wrong -EstUmbra Oooh... Yeah... I need... condom... sixty nine!! -IENJOYHAM |

I am completely anxious about SSBB. I could see it turning out
absolutely mediocre, and that would ruin a lot of what Nintendo has
managed to hype about the Wii. Continuing to play SSBM with SSBB out
would be disappointing in itself. -=- You. WILL. Eat. Healthy. Food! *Nails you with an assortment of vitamin-rich vegetables* |

smidge). Which makes my confidence in him taking Samus even lower. It's all up to you, Mega Man! YOU'RE OUR ONLY HOPE! --- 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. |

Even if CT maintained its strength, wouldn't the boost Nintendo received last year help LttP? I personally believe the Nintendo "boost" was partially in effect in 2004 as well. FFVII beat OoT with ease and Link still went berserk in the Character Contest. I'd take Chrono Trigger primarily because I know I'd be in the minority, but I still believe it can win. --- Squall, Tidus, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden Presea, Chun-Li, Tifa, Celes, Quistis, Amy Rose, Mei Ling |
