You know, I'd be content with Clinkeroth and Mario coming back in the main bracket. BUT ONLY if they had something like a 1st Round bye or something, so that 64 other characters could still get in >_>

I dunno how'd that work, but yeah.

I'd love another game contest too. There are lots of things that need to be tested.

We'll also throw in that FF7 is two generations old now, so it's easily forgotten. I bet SSBM is #1 now.

I wouldn't mind seeing them Clinkeroth, either. Noble Nine matches are no longer very interesting, anyway. I want to see Mario vs. Sonic (obvious reasons), as well as Mega Man vs. Vincent to see if Mega Man could lose.

No, people will still vote for it. Video game popularity doesn't quite work that way. I used to think so too, but it didn't happen. The original LoZ was STILL pretty damn strong in the Games contest. OoT and LttP didn't make people stop voting for it.

and just think - with TP out, there's no need for a lower-tier Zelda like Wind Waker to even be in the bracket -- and it may well have been the favourite to take 128.

Dammit, put EVERY ZELDA in the contest!

LttP vs. Link's Awakening 16-bit finals! And watch out for Minish Cap as a dangerous 10 seed in division 128! The likes of FFTA and FE? Ha!

SOLID OVER SEPHIROTH 2007 BOOK THAT BANK

That statement actually isn't as crazy as yall made it out to be. Considering Snake will be in Super Smash Bros Brawl, AND MGS4 this year, if we have a late Character Contest, that is totally possible.

(9) Metroid Prime

(4) Halo

(5) Metal Gear Solid 3
(12) Kingdom Hearts

(6) Resident Evil 4
(11) Metal Gear Solid 2

(3) Final Fantasy X
(14) Devil May Cry

(7) Starcraft
(10) Zelda: Wind Waker (totally accidental here, I swear)

(2) Super Smash Brothers Melee
(15) God of War

...holy ****.

pretty sure Guitar Hero would lose to every game mentioned, but yeah, it should be in if for nothing else than a unique fanbase and a lack of diversity in the current bracket (lol nintendo).

Thats more like it <_< GH2 in 3rd for the win.

And I think God of War vs GH2 would be a pretty decent battle.

Since we're all lively here, does anyone think that Final Fantasy VI Advance might help out FFVI in another games contest, or perhaps even help out someone like, say, Kefka in the character contests?

trannyscience | Posted 2/8/2007 5:03:17 PM | message detail
I was thinking the same earlier.. I think it'll help keep it at #7 overall (well, probably #8 now that TP is around), but it's not going to leapfrog anything. I think FF6 has been in a slight decline and that FF6A will make it look like nothing has changed since 2004.

Yeah. I would not suspect that FFVI would shoot through the roof. I was thinking the same thing about its decline, though, so it probably would get it back up to being there. I'll enjoy seeing what sort of affect it has had whenever we get a contest where we could see it.

trannyscience | Posted 2/8/2007 5:09:16 PM | message detail
Oblivion would probably beat Guitar Hero, but there's no way I'd take it over a big series like GTA, FF, RE, MGS, etc etc. Gears? to me it's Halo lite, and Halo hasn't had much success here. at best it's a cut below FF12, which is probably one of the weaker titles of the 16. I'd place it at 9th or 10th of the generation.

KH2 should probably be in there as well.
