He'd beat Kefka and could hang with Chun Li. You basically have to
say that Akuma's the second strongest SF character in order to beat
M.Bison by more than a slim amount. Uhhh...Ken? --- "I'm only here to see how the story plays out. Any self-respecting leading man would do the same." - Balthier |

I still remember the last time we saw Ken, too...but, for what it's
worth, about Chun-Li -- if you think Bowser/Ryu in 2k5 was a fluke due
to some sort of SFF (like 2k4 and 2k6 would suggest), then you'd be
hard-pressed not to say the same thing about Bowser/Chun-Li. --- The Office > you. |

Yeah, but that way Chun Li lost to Yuna and her ho-hum victory over Lara Croft makes me think Chun Li vs. Bowser was just fine. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

Point taken, I had forgotten she was in this year's contest...but she
did destroy Kasumi too, 2k2 stats be damned, and Yuna practically
equaled Aeris this year as well. Your case is probably more right, but
you could make a case for either I would think. --- The Office > you. |

But Bowser's choke job against Crono brings more things into question because it doesn't make Chun-Li look that good. --- "I'm only here to see how the story plays out. Any self-respecting leading man would do the same." - Balthier |

True. What I was mainly getting at was that the higher Chun-Li was, the
more capable Akuma was to be at M. Bison's level. if Chun-Li is just
barely over M. Bison, than I'm not gonna take Akuma > M. Bison. I
don't think Akuma is that close to Chun-Li, though I'm not opposed to
him being 4th in the Street Fighter line-up...just saying, with the
current statistical situation, I'm keeping Akuma at 5th. I don't wanna put too much faith in the stats for this situation, but I don't like the idea of Akuma being so close to Chun-Li. I think we can all agree Akuma's not #1 or #2 in the SF chain, and most would say Akuma's not #3...#4 is where most of us is torn, and I put Akuma at #5 because I don't think he isn't that close to Chun-Li/missed SF2 (practically go hand-in-hand). He would probably have a close match with M. Bison, and I would take Akuma over any other SF character...but I'm not giving him that edge until I see some more reasoning. Then again though, the Villain Contest was mighty ****ed up and M. Bison could be noticably different from what we once thought (and, if so, it would probably be for the worse if Revolver's a sign). --- The Office > you. |

It's one thing for the played-but-didn't-beat option to win yesterday's
LoZ poll...but for more than half of the people who have played LoZ
here to have not beaten it? I dunno -- LoZ's still a popular game here
and this is a FAQ-site. Just doesn't sit right. I hope CJay keeps these polls running for several series. I bet the original FF and MG's numbers will be rough to look at, and maybe we can get our first halfway-decent look at a Mega Man game too. --- The Office > you. |

I, oddly, second that motion. I thought Tetris had the record as far as GameFAQs polls go: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1890 --- The Office > you. |

This polls make me think for a minute: which game has the most people beaten here? I would wager SMB3; when you combine its popularity and multiple versions with the whistles, I think it's set. FF7 would also have a good case though, what with this poll and all: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2186 --- The Office > you. |

...nevermind my above post's part about FF7, I see SMB1 is currently outdoing FF7's beaten-percentages, ha. I still stand by SMB3 though. --- The Office > you. |

In my newfound love for completeness, I went back and tallied the
results from every "Have You Ever Played?" to give us an all-time
playership ranking, like I did for Consoles. I only used polls with a
clear "No, and I've never even played it" option, so games that have
only had "Do You Own" had to be left out (sucks for GE, Halo, and
Melee). Altogether I found 20 games CJay has asked about. Here we go! Have You Ever Played... 1 Tetris 97.36% 1/24/05 2 Mario 1 95.06% 2/15/07 (current, but falling) 3 Mario 3 94.30% 11/1/05 4 OoT 87.61% 11/4/05 5 LttP 84.50% 11/2/05 6 FF7 81.35% 5/8/03 7 MGS 76.77% 11/13/01 8 Zelda 1 76.29% 2/14/07 9 CT 68.36% 11/3/05 10 FFX 67.91% 5/7/03 11 FF6 66.73% 10/27/05 12 GTA: VC 63.13% 5/5/03 13 The Sims 58.89% 1/15/03 14 FF1 58.48% 6/26/06 15 Wind Waker 51.71% 5/6/03 16 Metal Gear 41.55% 6/8/06 17 DDR 40.82% 1/25/02 18 FF11 20.65% 6/13/04 19 Ragnarok 19.70% 6/12/04 20 Everquest 16.38% 6/15/03 --- Mario 1's early 95% is great, but unfortunately it appears that's almost all Power Hour... This same poll was run back in July of '06 (in prep for the Series Contest), and Mario managed only 92.97%. Zelda 1, on the other hand, was incredibly consistent. It got 76.29 yesterday, as opposed to 76.21 last July. Looking forward to tomorrow, Final Fantasy 1 put up that 58.48 last Summer... we'll see if it can match here in '07. BTW, be sure to note that the 76 you see there for MGS came from way back in '01. It still did OK in the newer poll from October '05, but did slip down to 72%. And the FF7 number is old as well... in hindsight it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that it peaked at that 81%+ number just before we entered the 2003 Character Battle. Since then the game has cooled a bit to the 75% it managed after taking first in the Top Ten tally. --- thengamer.com/xstats = lol x-stats Still smarting from the beatdown Rufus applied in the Guru Contest! |

I agree with these Tetris remarks. I think on the official rankings
(I'll put them up after this series of polls finishes) I'll list it as
rank 0, along with anything like Solitaire or Minesweeper that we might
see in the future, and leave Mario 3 sitting at #1. But yeah, whooo, come on bracket! --- thengamer.com/xstats = lol x-stats Still smarting from the beatdown Rufus applied in the Guru Contest! |

So Zelda was unchanged in the past 8 months, while Mario went up
slightly: 92.97% -> 93.54%. If this Final Fantasy number holds it
would improve even more dramatically, 58.48 %-> 60.70%. But I don't
think there's anyway that ends up happening... this huge NES number is
sure to collapse now that all us old-school Nintendo Power Hourers have
had our say. --- thengamer.com/xstats = lol x-stats Still smarting from the beatdown Rufus applied in the Guru Contest! |

Indeed. It was a waste to have TWO options of the poll about remakes.

(but not the original)? --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

Hey TRE, with the bracket sure to come up
tonight, are you considering a 'First Vote' attempt? That is, seeing
the bracket before CJay puts up the official sticky. It'll be coming up
at either http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/contest/bqe.html Or http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/contest/bqe_bracket But I think the first is more likely. Fine, we'll make a Contest of it.

Welp, no new bracket, but to do get a new game to add to the all-time playrate ranks, and that's just as good. Right? Right?! So far Sonic 1 is doing incredibly well in the poll, pulling in a full 88.00% play rate. If this number held throughout the day, Sonic would end up in 3rd place on the overall rankings- ahead of Ocarina of Time! Obviously this old school early vote is boosting the number somewhat, but still, it looks like Sonic could very well stay in the 85 range, which would be good enough to boost LttP out of its position in 4th. BTW, Final Fantasy ended up incredibly consistent over the 8 month span yesterday, just like Zelda 1 before it. FF1 went from a 58.48% playrate up to 58.50%, still leaving it 14th in the ranks. --- thengamer.com/xstats = lol x-stats Still smarting from the beatdown Rufus applied in the Guru Contest! |

I was expecting that number to take a deep dive once the older late

Rest of the numbers are looking good as well... appears Sonic's pretty
much a lock to topple LttP at this point. --- thengamer.com/xstats = lol x-stats Still smarting from the beatdown Rufus applied in the Guru Contest! |
