Hehe, mine also has OoT/SH2 in the first round. Poor, poor Silent Hill...

Also, I'm trying to give Starcraft another winnable couple of rounds, but just like last time, there'll be nothing easy about it.

Starcraft's tricky. I actually think it would have a decent shot against Super Metroid, which is why I stuck it there. SFF or no, that was a real nasty beatdown that Super Metroid took against LttP.

1) Final Fantasy VII
16) Guitar Hero II

8) Pokemon Red
9) Half-Life 2

5) God of War 2
12) Chrono Cross

4) Mario 64
13) Half-Life

3) Metal Gear Solid 3
14) Earthbound

6) Zelda 1
11) Oblivion

7) GTA: SA
10) Phoenix Wright

2) Super Smash Bros Brawl
15) Dragon Quest VIII

my first thought: Brawl has a HUGE amount of potential - why hand it to one of two games it probably can't topple? give it Chrono Trigger, Mario 3, LTTP, something like that. not FF7.

the rest looks.. well, predictable, outside of MGS3/Zelda 1. Pokemon Red/HL2 is also debatable.

1) Mario 3
16) SA2: Battle

8) Kingdom Hearts
9) God of War

5) Metroid Prime
12) GTA: VC

4) Halo
13) World of Warcraft

3) Final Fantasy X
14) Doom

6) Mario Galaxy
11) Soul Calibur

7) Final Fantasy VI
10) Street Fighter II

2) Zelda: TP
15) Fire Emblem

Zelda:TP/Mario Galaxy strikes me as OOT/SM64 II should it happen. thankfully, there is a FF10 in the way.

FF10/TP is a nice, debatable match. I'd probably side with TP, but the more and more we see TP complaints and things like Midna, the more I edge over to FF10's side.

World of Warcraft has a huge range. a huge one. I won't even pretend to know what happens with it, and thus I can't fault you for feeding it to Halo. I'd pick Halo though. give me Prime > Halo for reasons I can't explain, KH > GOW for reasons I *can* explain (KH is Square, I think that gives it an edge), and Mario 3 over the FF10/TP winner. I won't be surprised if it loses, though.

1) Super Smash Bros Melee
16) Okami

8) Mega Man X
9) Devil May Cry

5) Metal Gear Solid
12) Diablo II

4) Mario World
13) Resident Evil 2

3) Zelda: LTTP
14) Tetris

6) Kingdom Hearts 2
11) Gears of War

7) Pokemon Diamond
10) Mortal Kombat 2

2) Chrono Trigger
15) Kirby Super Star

MMX/DMC is a nice touch. MGS/Diablo 2, not so much. it has Starcraft-esque potential - no need to feed it to something so strong.

nice CT/LTTP setup, though I think that match is an Ulti-style blowout in LTTP's favour if you hold it now. give me Melee > LTTP in an upset that may be more consensus than I expect. interesting how you essentially took the best of division 16 and threw it in here.

oh, and LTTP/Tetris is a disaster. we already saw Zelda 1 / Tetris. I still say Tetris/Halo could be fun, though you'd have to find a new spot for WOW since LTTP would tear it to pieces.

oh, didn't comment on MGS/World. give me... uh... I want to say World, but MGS has to be the safe pick.

1) Zelda: OOT
16) Silent Hill 2

8) Castlevania: SOTN
9) Metal Gear Solid 2

5) Sonic 3
12) Mega Man 2

4) Resident Evil 4
13) Donkey Kong Country 2

3) Goldeneye 007
14) Tales of Symphonia

6) Final Fantasy VIII
11) Bioshock

7) Super Metroid
10) Starcraft

2) Halo 3
15) Pac-Man

I like your bottom half a LOT.

Sonic 3/MM2, nice touch. battle of the best of each series. MGS2/SOTN is nice, though I side with MGS2. RE4 is wasted with a boring, predictable path.

I'll say... 007 > FF8 in an upset, Halo 3 over SM (Halo/Prime, Halo 3/SM? eh, why not) 007 > Halo 3. nostalgia and Nintendo win out. they're the same thing in reality.

trannyscience | Posted 11/5/2007 7:59:06 PM | message detail

yeah, my brackets always have FF7/OOT on one side and CT/LTTP/SSBM on the other, for the sake of competition. I've heard people complain about how the "true" final was too early, but I don't think we should kill good matchups just to watch our juggernauts do battle in the final.

I try to give FF7/OOT weaker competition and stack the tougher divisions. either that or I make a really strong eight-pack where the winner gets to be killed by FF7/OOT. I try to avoid things like the Brawl setup you've got, where it's a very strong game (or poetntially strong, in this case) that has a guaranteed path.

You guys might think I'm crazy, but I have this feeling that FFVII/Mario 3 in the semifinals might be pretty interesting. No, I don't think Mario has any shot at victory, but I do think he could overperform significantly. Mario has done some crazy things against Final Fantasy more than once, especially in big-time environments, and I can see him mustering another such performance.

I could see a universally liked title giving FF7 a fight, though. though Melee didn't do much in '04..

1) Final Fantasy VII
8) Pokemon Red

12) Chrono Cross
4) Mario 64

3) Metal Gear Solid 3
6) Zelda 1

7) GTA: SA
2) Super Smash Bros Brawl

There are a few good match-ups in this division, notably Pokemon/Half-Life 2 and Chrono Cross/God of War 2. Brawl seems like it a got a rough draw, though, for all the potential that it has. It seems like it would be better suited taking on a Chrono Trigger or Link to the Past or something to come out of the division, then go up against OoT or FF7 or something.

---

1) Mario 3
9) God of War

5) Metroid Prime
4) Halo

3) Final Fantasy X
6) Mario Galaxy

7) Final Fantasy VI
2) Zelda: TP

I really like this division. There's a whole lot of good here -- FF6/TP, FF10/Mario Galaxy; FF10/FF6 or FF10/TP or Galaxy/FF6 (lots of combinations!). Metroid Prime/Halo and Kingdom Hearts/God of War are both great, too. WoW could be something to watch out for here as well. Killer division -- best one by far.

I went with the two FF's here just because I'm doubtful of what TP brings to the table and Galaxy is a big question mark right now -- but I don't trust it over the proven FF10. Plenty of upset potential in those, though.

---

1) Super Smash Bros Melee
8) Mega Man X

5) Metal Gear Solid
4) Mario World

3) Zelda: LTTP
6) Kingdom Hearts 2

7) Pokemon Diamond
2) Chrono Trigger

Another good one. Love the CT/LTTP rematch, and either CT or LTTP/Melee. MGS/Mario World is great, too. Most people probably wouldn't take CT out of the division due to the whole recent shift, but I think it has a pretty solid shot at winning.

---

1) Zelda: OOT
9) Metal Gear Solid 2

12) Mega Man 2
4) Resident Evil 4

3) Goldeneye 007
6) Final Fantasy VIII

7) Super Metroid
2) Halo 3

Super Metroid/StarCraft is pretty good, as is the winner facing Halo 3. Goldeneye gets a good draw, although it's a shame that RE4 pulls OoT so soon. I would have taken it out of the division if it were in FF8 or Goldeneye's place.

Great bracket overall, I think. There's plenty of good matches, not a whole lot of SFF and plenty of diversity in the games. I doubt an actual bracket would end up this good!

The problem with limiting games from the same series is the same as limiting characters from the same series - you end up with less popular games/characters in their place, making the contest less interesting and less "legitimate".

If all those Final Fantasy, Zelda, and Mario games can muster enough nominations to make it in, they should be allowed, IMO.

Absolutely.

Nomination LFF is all the cap you need. And it's a pretty big one in practice.

I really don't like the two polls per day idea.

I'm just fine with a standard 64 entrant poll.

Or a 96 entrant one, with 4packs in the first round. But that's a bad idea too. (especially if you don't switch around, and have repeat matches from the first round)

The main thing I'd like to see is probably a Board 8 exemption thing - where 4 or 8 spots are reserved for board nominations posted separately from the main nominations (this way you can see cult games the board loves, like that Monkey Island series people talk about; or joke entrants, like E.T., or the Jay Solano N-Gage game). Though this is debatable, as the argument could be made that the board has too much influence on nominations anyway.

You guys might think I'm crazy, but I have this feeling that FFVII/Mario 3 in the semifinals might be pretty interesting.

Yes, I agree.

Final Fantasy VII

CT/LTTP happens a bit too early for my taste- both of these games deserve to make it further. I put CT here but LTTP has a great chance- the thing is LTTP is even older than CT, so I don't think it really gets very much from the Nintendo boost, not enough to make it an overwhelming favorite. There's also the proximity of the CT/LTTP match to the TP announcement at E3 2004 to consider. CT/SSBM should be a good match, with an absolutely gigantic day/night swing- CT's day vote in the Games Contest (and, by extrapolation, most games in divisions 8 and 16) was absolutely awful, in a year when Crono held Mario to 3 updates. I'd favor LTTP to beat SSBM fairly comfortably, however (and to beat any Nintendo game other than OOT for the foreseeable future).

FFVII destroys Mario 3, and CT or LTTP hold up shockingly well against OOT, but SSBM gets destroyed if it gets there.

FFVII/OOT is a comfortable win for FFVII- FFVII gets surprisingly close to its results from last time, and possibly even exceeds them (the Zelda fanbase seems to be a lot less focused on OOT these days, and Link hasn't really improved that much relative to Cloud since 2004).

FFVI/TP is an interesting match, as is the winner vs. FFX.

Starcraft/Super Metroid........L-Block's run this contest has improved the position of the theory of Starcraft's variable strength. Both pulled nearly identical percentages each round against progressively stronger (in SC's case, at least what we perceived to be progressively stronger) competition. It's not just Starcraft's rally power and massive comebacks- SC had to have greatly varying strength to even be within striking distance with 6 hours to go. And remember, SC won the first night vote too in every match it was in. It's been theorized before, but Frog's 2004 run also fits this description. Magus 2003 also kind of fits this (35% on Link > 50% on a Ganon who barely beat Tidus > 66% on Sam Fisher). And.....of course, character strengths the final week of the 2002 contest were likely vastly different from what they were earlier, considering the dramatic rise in votals.

I think L-Block would do about what it would do based on it's match with Kirby/Laharl/Hale, give or take. It all depends on how much momentum it loses in between off seasons and whether being in a four way battle really amplified its strength.

greatone10 | Posted 11/6/2007 2:51:28 AM | message detail

DKC may be the more universally well known and more played, but it's not like Diddy's Kong Quest is some forgotten classic here. It only sold a couple million or so less, which is still about 6 million copies. I bet any lapse in strength from DKC1 to 2 can be made up on the name recognition alone.

<fanboyism>And as far as quality goes, DKC has absolutely nothing on the original, and the downgrading of that piece of crap Donkey Kong into the Princess Peach role is but one of the smaller reasons I consider DKC2 to be the greatest game ever coded.</fanboyism>

In those two cases (Donkey Kong Country and Devil May Cry), I'd go with the originals without much thought. They're the ones that created the fanbase (and started the series, obviously), generated the most hype, and sold the most copies. They also aren't resented by the fanbase, even though there are always those vocal fans who consider a sequel superior. Just remember: if the originals sucked ass, a long-running series probably wouldn't have been made.

Yeah, that theory won't work for the mega-series that reinvent themselves time and time again, but there are many series (newer ones, especially) that I could see it working with. I'd take DMC over its two sequels, Halo over its two sequels, and probably even GTAIII over Vice City or San Andreas.

HaRRicH | Posted 11/6/2007 9:04:59 AM | message detail

Eh, I'd take Halo 2 and GTA:SA as the best reps for each of those series (and, for kicks, Melee would decimate SSB).

I largely agree with your theory in times of question, but I don't consider those, um...questionable enough, I suppose.

You could be right. The "Got *certain console*?" polls show that the Xbox 360's ownership percentage matched the original Xbox's at the very end of last year, well before the price drop, Bioshock, and Halo 3. Looks like the PS3 is where the Xbox was 4-5 years ago, and the Wii and 360 are picking up the fans Sony dropped by default.

64. Baldur’s Gate II: Shadows of Amn

I would cry as one of the best games ever made was skewered by Sephiroth's sword.

32. Xenogears
33. Doom

NOOOOOOOO!!!!! Not Xenogears again! Nevah!!!

29. Metroid Prime
36. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

I would cry as THE best game ever made was beaten by a girl.

31. Half-Life
34. Tetris

GFNW vs. L-Block?!?

18. Starcraft
47. Street Fighter II

Worst. Whining. Ever. No matter which game wins.

KotOR is #2 on my all-time list, but Prime is #5. I eat the happy pancakes regardless of result. You're definitely right about Starcraft/SFII, but seeing as how I actually enjoyed seeing legitimate SFII complaining months after it lost, either result would make me a happy guy.

Eh, that's a lie. KICK ITS ASS, SFII.

with the massive increase in gamefaqs's overall popularity i wonder how much different would another top 100 games list look like.

Eh, I'd take Halo 2 and GTA:SA as the best reps for each of those series (and, for kicks, Melee would decimate SSB).

No. Halo 2 is largely bashed by the Halo community, the only reason it might do better than the original is because of online play, and even then Halo 3 would be the better option, then toss in GameFAQs voters more likely having a 360 than a plain old XBox, and there's no way I say Halo 2 is the best rep.

Man, I hope Final Fantasy IV DS comes out in the states before the next contest. If that happened, FFIV or Cecil might actually have a chance at beating someone >_>
