"I'm calling bias if people jump on me for
being a jackass in debates, yet let crap like this pass. "Your
misguided opinion is crap and you're only arguing that OOT is
overrated! I'm a mindreader and know these things! Really!" Go away." I'm not trying to be a jackass, just stating that most of MM was just recycling OOT elements. To end up with an all around better game than OOT if you consider everything would require them to do far more than they did. --- Can't think of a good sig. |

than OOT if you consider everything would require them to do far more

just recycling OOT elements. To end up with an all around better game
than OOT if you consider everything would require them to do far more
than they did. If I were to make a game that was exactly the same as OoT, but added in a really cool optional boss fight on top of it, it would be a better game than OoT. MM owes its very existence to OoT, much like SMB3 owes its existence to SMB. I can still believe SMB3 >>> SMB, and I can do the same for MM and OoT. --- *kills self Commit it to memory. |

MM only has 4 dungeons though, and only one of them is really
spectacular (obviously talking about Stone Temple). The first one
completely sucked to say the least, the second was good, Great Bay
sucked, and the leadup to it sucked (lol egg collecting), and I usually
like water areas. But, bosses in MM>OoT. I'll even tier them. That thing in the second temple in MM (use Goron Link)>Majoras Mask>Ganon/dorf>Phantom Ganon>Volvagia>That thing in the 3rd temple in MM> Bongo Bongo>Twinrova>the rest (the rest kind of sucked to be honest). That thing in the second temple though is quite possibly my favorite boss fight in any game ever. --- Z1mZum owned me in the guru contest (by two points!). Damn you Z1mZum! |

Last year Ryu only got 41.02% against Bowser. When Mega Man ended up
falling short of 70% against Axel is suggested that Axel was more
popular with KH fans then he's perhaps given credit for. Ryu though is
a character with very established strength, isn't he? Bowser couldn't beat Solid Snake last year, and there's a good chance that Mega Man might do worse against Ryu, is that a sign that Mega Man is weaker this year? Or would it be reading into this match too much to suggest that? --- Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo merge to create...Microtendony!

"If I were to make a game that was exactly
the same as OoT, but added in a really cool optional boss fight on top
of it, it would be a better game than OoT." So anotherwords no old game can ever be better than a new one except nostalgia purposes. That means I can take whatever your favorite game is and slap some extra scene or feature over it and it automatically outdos everything that the original ever accomplished, even if its lacking a lot of what made the original so great. Okay then. I just want to make sure this is the mentality of the people who think MM is better so I can understand what the heck their talking about. Thats not my idea of a better game though. --- Can't think of a good sig. |

Bowser **** overperformed... But Bowser's overperformance was consistent. Maybe in most years he couldn't get 59% against Ryu, but in most years he probably couldn't have then gotten 49.5% against Snake. --- Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo merge to create...Microtendony!

Megaman currently is doing better than Snake did in 2003, And if you believe in the sprite round hurting Snake, Snake/Ryu was a sprite round match. If you're complaining about the picture factor here, you can't possibly ignore the massive picture advantage Ryu had against Snake. and better than Sonic in 2004 (I can be wrong about the years) Except both Ryu and KOS-MOS imply that value is overrated, and even if it isn't MM is still underperforming. And he only need 0.33% to match Samus performance against Ryu in 2002 Equaling pre-Metroid Prime Samus is not impressive in the slightest. --- *kills self Commit it to memory. |

And if you believe in the sprite round hurting Snake, Snake/Ryu was

here, you can't possibly ignore the massive picture advantage Ryu had
against Snake. Still,Megaman and Snake both had picture disadvantage,so why cant we compare them? --- laff |

weird how Ryu's day vote is worse than his morning vote.. or is it Mega
Man's afterschool vote is better? I have no idea, but at least he's
going to end up near Bowser's percentage. probably a little bit lower,
but you can explain that by variance or whatever you want. MM = Bowser?
ehh, I still don't know what to make of this. I want to see Snake vs.
Yoshi. (I refuse to argue about a mediocre series! fear my elitism!) --- "that'll do, pig." |

MM is a very good game, but the story is shorter and there are only 4
main dungeons. That's what was wrong with MM and that's some of what
was wrong with tWW. OOT had a better story and 8 main dungeons. MM didn't have enough exploring, particularly when it came to finding heart pieces, too many were the result of side quests. Yes the masks rocked, but half of them did nothing. Mask of Scents, who gives a ****? Postman's Hat, if there hadn't been a heart piece in a postbox, who gives a ****? Kamaro's Mask, if you did't get a heart piece for teaching the dance, who gives a ****? I sure as hell didn't. In short MM had some great ideas, but did not have the length or the story to back them up. --- OOT's better. |

Still,Megaman and Snake both had picture disadvantage,so why cant we compare them? Because if we're going to do something as inane as try to gauge picture factor, there's no way in hell that this is even close to the disadvantage Snake had. Mega Man looks a bit...kawaii, I suppose, but everyone with a brain knows that's still Mega Man. You show that sprite of Snake to 100 random people and I doubt even a fifth recognize it as a person, let alone Solid ****ing Snake. --- *kills self Commit it to memory. |

In terms of dungeon bosses, Majora's Mask mixed in the great with the
crap. Odalwa and Twinmold sucked. Gyorg was good for the sole reason
that he was the only 3D Zelda boss (to my memory, anyway) that killed
me. Man, was I ever pissed when that happened. Goht, despite being very
easy, is probably the funnest boss to fight in either OoT or MM. --- The Little Mermaid 2-Disc Platinum Edition DVD Coming October 3, 2006 |

I recognize it instantly! it's my favourite picture of him! (to be fair, all other pictures of Snake are ugly.) I refuse to believe that a significant portion of the voters don't recognize the name "Solid Snake".

weird how Ryu's day vote is worse than his morning vote Yeah, I've heard several times about how "X character's best time is the morning!" or "Y character's worse time is the morning!" but so far we have yet to have a case of a character doing any worse than the morning than they do in the after school. The closest it comes is Bowser, who roughly did about the same in both times. The morning vote is only really different on weekends --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

Indeed, but the same should be even MORE true for Mega Man. You can't try to argue that this performance is based on the picture of all things, at least based on that assumption. --- *kills self Commit it to memory. |

yeah, i began to get nervous about Mega Man's chances against Snake
after his match with Axel. after Luigi pounded Zero, i got a little
more nervous. but after seeing Mega Man crap out today, i'm REALLY
nervous about his match with Snake. that match could decide who has the
winning bracket. although, it will absolutely make my day to see it be
a sprite round where Snake gets his 8-bit sprite and Mega Man finally
gets a pic of a fully equipped Mega Man X. oh yeah. and when i saw people talking about mine levels, i also INSTANTLY thought of Donkey Kong Country. --- i have officially been Z1mZum'D in the guru contest. Vincent Valentine to win the Blast Division!! |
