From Janus5000 Posted 10/19/2006 1:07:16 AM We can replace some of the fodderific crap like Adventure and DDR Can we replace you instead? =( I mean fodderific crap in terms of contest strength, although I'd say that definition applies to DDR <_< TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy"- trancer1 |

TP vs. FF12 WHO YA GOT Twilight Princess, easily. I think TP is the only game that has a legitimate shot at being with the "elite" games from the last contest. --- "Looking good, Princess, especially from this angle!" |

Heh, just curious -- this is usually too hypothetical for my tastes... ...if LoZ:TP was facing LoZ:MM the day LoZ:TP was being released, do you still take LoZ:TP? How about LoZ:WW? The original LoZ? ...LoZ:LttP?! --- http://wemajor12.myrockinprofile.com/ Next celebrity I hope to out-rank: Weird Al Yankovic (#9) |

Really the question in character battles has been can we get 64 good
characters, the question in a new game contest is how can we get ONLY
64 games. Just talking about the games which have come out since Spring 2004 which need to be included in the next contest: Final Fantasy XII Twilight Princess Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Super Mario Galaxy (if out) Metal Gear Solid 3 (4 wont be out until Winter 2007) Halo 2/3 Resident Evil 4 Devil May Cry 3 New Sonic Game God of War World of Warcraft Kingdom Hearts 2 Pokemon DS (I forgot what they were called) Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Dragon Quest VIII I could go on. Wow. --- --NL-- Z1mZum made me look like Toadette. And made me nominate her. |

"how the hell did G/S/C get in instead of R/B/Y?" People who are bigger fans of the series prefer it. The casual pokemon players that wouldn't nominate either are more likely to vote in favor of RBY, though. Just felt the need to correct something here. It may be true that the biggest fans of the series prefer GSC, but this has been discussed before, and the most likely cause was the flawed nomination system. There was a seperate entry for Gameboy and Gameboy Color to nominate for; GSC is on Gameboy Color, while RBY is on the original Gameboy. If you think about it, GSC didn't have too much to compete with, while RBY had Tetris among other things stealing its nominations. --- Take off every sig. |

A nice Games Contest division (not including games that haven't been
released yet) because making an entire games contest bracket is a
headache: Flood Division: (1) Halo 2 (16) Starcraft (8) Xenogears (9) Tales of Symphonia (5) Sonic the Hedgehog II (12) Super Mario RPG (4) World of Warcraft (13) Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (6) Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (11) Diablo II (3) Resident Evil 4 (14) Earthbound (7) Goldeneye (10) Super Metroid (2) Metal Gear Solid (15) Suikoden II --- Character Battle V Score - 37/42 points Current Prediction - KOS-MOS vs. Aeris Gainsborough |

I figured that was why you mentioned it in the same sentence as Adventure. ...Uh... It's underrated by FFVII/MGS and would actually break 70% on half the field! --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing.

Wow, so quickly does the stats topic changes topics. To sidetrack from the current "Best Game Ever" bracket talk a bit, the list of characters that the stats topic has debated, discussed or would like to nominate for the next character contest from all of the fairly recent CS&D topics (going back as far as the Rikku vs Kairi topic) is as follows: Robo (Chrono Trigger) Ayla (Chrono Trigger) Lucca (Crono Trigger) Kairi (Kingdom Hearts) Shadow (FFVI) Sabin (FFVI) Mog (FFVI) Edgar (FFVI) Locke (FFVI) Yuffie (FFVII) Barret (FFVII) Cid (FFVII) Fox McCloud (Star Fox) Citan (Xenogears) Fei (Xenogears) Mewtwo (Pokemon) I think I'm missing a few others, but that's generally it. Funny how around 100 posts in the last stats topic were spent talking about which FFVI character would get over the fodder line. So, who is likely going to have a nomination rally and who would the majority of the stats topic support? --- By the time we localize the programs, kids don’t even know they’re from Japan any more. - 4Kids CEO Al Kahn |

rallying for character #43853 from CT, FF6 or FF7 is pointless. unless
there's a reason to see another character from the same game, I have no
desire to see them or nominate them. if they get a new release or a
cameo or whatever, then that's a different story. but really, who cares
to see Robo? he's not going to deviate much from Marle or Frog (and
would probably end up lower than them). FF6... well, we already went
over that one, and we've got five FF7 characters that need to make
every contest already. as for an old bracket.. I think this is the most recent one that I made: 1 1 - Mario 3 8 - Dragon Quest VIII 4 - Oblivion 5 - Castlevania: SOTN 3 - Goldeneye 007 6 - Fable 2 - Kingdom Hearts 2 7 - Contra 2 1 - OOT 8 - Gran Turismo 3 4 - Devil May Cry 5 - Mega Man X 3 - Final Fantasy X 6 - Mario Kart DS 2 - Starcraft 7 - Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow 3 1 - Halo 2 8 - Diablo 2 4 - Sonic 3 & Knuckles 5 - Mega Man 3 3 - Super Mario World 6 - Devil May Cry 3 2 - FF8 7 - Soul Calibur 4 1 - FF6 8 - Kirby Superstar 4 - Super Metroid 5 - World of Warcraft 3 - Metal Gear Solid 6 - Pac-Man 2 - Mario 64 7 - Tales of Symphonia 5 1 - GTA:SA 8 - Super Smash Brothers 4 - Final Fantasy 9 5 - Soul Calibur 2 3 - Zelda: MM 6 - Metal Gear Solid 2 2 - RE4 7 - Skies of Arcadia 6 1 - LTTP 8 - Katamari Damacy 4 - Half-Life 2 5 - GTA: VC 3 - Pokemon Red 6 - Tetris 2 - Metal Gear Solid 3 7 - Sonic 2 7 1 - CT 8 - Donkey Kong Country 2 4 - Starfox 64 5 - Chrono Cross 3 - Halo 6 - Zelda 1 2 - Metroid Prime 7 - Super Mario RPG 8 1 - SSBM 8 - Xenosaga Episode I 4 - Final Fantasy Tactics 5 - God of War 3 - Kingdom Hearts 6 - Mario Kart 64 2 - Mario 1 7 - Street Fighter 2 --- xyzzy |

Oh, Mog may not be a bad choice, either. Otherwise, yeah, FF6 characters would just be humiliating. And I think we've tapped the well dry with CT characters, though since we've already got 4/7 PCs in we might as well focus on getting one in for each of the next three contests to round it out. --- Hispanics 2 | Whites 5 Asians 5 | Blacks 3 |

Really, though, we should be looking into other characters: This is who we need in next contest: Mewtwo Fox Wario Mog Rocket (DQ Heroes: Rocket Slime) FFXII character (Vaan, I guess, but he looks so lame ;_;) Midna (That's the TP character, right?)

| If anyone caught the fodder-less 64 character
bracket topic, it gave me an idea. Would probably never happen, but
imagine this: for a side contest, the board gets together and picks out
the 32 closest in strength characters for a bracket, probably low
midcarders. Then we watch the most unpredictable contest ever! And
follow it up with a games contest in the summer! --- Take off every sig. |

I would like to see Magus return as well, if only to make some more
interesting matches. Same with Shadow and Liquid Snake. They're so
variable and their "true values" are rather up in the air, which could
be interesting. Also, after this year I hope we all realize how much Jill Valentine adds to any bracket! --- This was Ed Bellis, servant to the mighty Guru Z1mZum. Congrats, buddy! |

I mention Mog because of his Moogle-esque status getting him votes more
than his being in FF6. But then I doubt he'll even be above the fodder
line considering how the most popular FF games here don't focus on the
Moogles. It may still be worth nominating him, though. And I've got the ultimate Spring contest: The Female Villain Character Battle. Is that even possible? I'm sure we'd get characters Tanner would blow out. --- Hispanics 2 | Whites 5 Asians 5 | Blacks 3 |
