How can you keep out Sonic 2? =\ I'm just saying if the bracket was 64 games I wouldn't be surprised if it failed to make it, plus I think Sonic 3 & Knuckles should have a shot. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB7%20BOP.xls Congratulations to FastFalcon for winning the guru contest, you are the best among the best. |

Still Sonic 2 should make it over original Legend of Zelda or Wind
Waker (seeing as how Twilight Princess will make it). One series with a
NN shouldnt have 4 games at least and another NN have none :( --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png FastFalcon05 sure knows how to fill out a Guru Contest bracket better than I! |

While I would never want to go back to division by era, the one thing
to note is that it helps prevent the following situations where the
same game essentially gets in twice. Does anyone honestly think that
all 3 Halos and both of the Kingdom Hearts will have any essential
difference in popularity? Or Guitar Hero 2/3 I would guess that Halo 1 is both directly and indirectly more popular than the other two, but how would the Kingdom Hearts games go down. I could see either one winning head to head, but the first one being more popular indirectly. The Guitar Hero situation is different in that I would expect 3 to be more popular indirectly, but for 2 to win head to head. --- FastFalcon owned me in the Guru Contest! |

Thats the problem with sequels. Like for instance Halo games are all as
different as Zelda games are (all different storylines but play the
same.. same as zelda), but you'd have a riot if all 3 halo games got in
even if we have tons of Zelda games. Yet games like the guitar heros
are all essentially the same game --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png FastFalcon05 sure knows how to fill out a Guru Contest bracket better than I! |

The difference between Halo and Zelda is that with the former you're
dealing with games that are more or less going to be the same strength
- there wouldn't be any significant gap between Halo and Halo 2 -
whereas with Zelda they all vary greatly in where they lie. You've got
OoT at the top, ALttP the next tier down, then TP after that, and WW/MM
and so forth. --- http://i36.tinypic.com/2hehbis.gif |

Now that I'm out of class, I'm going back to a discussion we just left:
WoW would have to rally so much more than Starcraft. Professional
reviews, GameFAQs reviews, GameFAQs scores, the Top 100 List, and the
general consensus I get from people who played both games all favor
Starcraft > WoW...so not only may people be more inclined to rally
for Starcraft based on that, but WoW is more likely to face stiffer
competition (more quickly, too) due to seeding if this is the case.
Starcraft has an already-strong fanbase on GameFAQs so rallying will be
cared about more by them, too, as opposed to WoW having to needing more
people for it while being further behind. Let's not forget WoW gets on
the ass-end of jokes too, so people will be more willing to rally
against it should it get closer; few people would be comfortable with
seeing their more favored games lose to WoW. Think about the complaints
that went down about L-Block last year and how hard we rallied against
it from the end of last year to even today. Similar stuff. Another thing about Starcraft's run: it got to face three often-ridiculed games in its three victories. People were less willing to let Starcraft lose to a FPS "ruining" the genre, a Disney game starring a kid with clown shoes and Lance Bass as Sephiroth, or the LoZ game that Shigeru said nearly killed the series due to complaints of the new direction. Also throw in that many Starcraft fans were pissed about having a sixteen-seed. I doubt this contest has visible seeding, and WoW would need a stroke of luck to find games that LOTS of people want to see lose. WoW has more aces up its sleeve than any other game, but it's coming in without its hat and rabbit in comparison to Starcraft...and the hat and rabbit is CRUCIAL for a classic magic show. Terrible analogy for the win, but I think it works! --- FastFalcon05 absolutely decimated me in the Guru challenge. How bad was it? ...I don't want to talk about it. |

The main thing you are forgetting Harrich is that Starcraft at that
point was essentially a game among hardcore players with a much lower
play rate then WoW has. WoW doesn't only appeal to the hardcore, its a
cultural phenomenon with a higher active playrate then any game in
history of gaming, and its up there with Mario and Final Fantasy as
well known among non gamers, too. Everyone knows about World of
Warcraft, but how many people outside of hardcore gamers really know
Starcraft? I'd say World of Warcraft will be a total force to be
reckoned with, and the rallying power just makes it stronger. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png FastFalcon05 sure knows how to fill out a Guru Contest bracket better than I! |

You're going to be getting a ton of people who will just vote against WoW. No matter what. That one poll had like 50% of the site not only not playing WoW, but being morally opposed to MMORPs in general. That's 50% of the site that we can bet won't be voting for WoW at all ever. Then you've got less than 15% of the site that actually actively plays the game, and I know you say you don't have to be actively playing a game to like it, but I would bet the vast majority of those 17% that have played the game, but don't anymore are people that quit because they didn't like the game anymore. It's not like other games that you can beat and be done with, this is a game that you play as long as you like it, and if you stop it's probably because you don't like it. I just don't buy World of Warcraft being uber powerful in this contest... or even at Starcraft's level. Rallying can only get you so far. --- For your health. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/Cyclo/pokewhat.jpg This is my Chocomander, FastFalcon05 |

The main thing you are forgetting Harrich is that Starcraft at that
point was essentially a game among hardcore players with a much lower
play rate then WoW has. Unproven on GameFAQs; I suspect Starcraft STILL has a higher ownership-rate than WoW here. It and Diablo 2 were THE computer-games to have for a long time. WoW doesn't only appeal to the hardcore, its a cultural phenomenon with a higher active playrate then any game in history of gaming, and its up there with Mario and Final Fantasy as well known among non gamers, too. 1) Starcraft's appeal to the hardcore probably HELPED it here, plus when you sell that well it's hard to call Starcraft an incredibly hardcore divided fanbase. 2) Speaking of cultural phenomenons, isn't Starcraft practically part of Korea's economy? 3) You can also say similar things about Guitar Hero. That CAN be good, but it doesn't mean it WILL be good. Why does this mean particularly good things on GameFAQs, a site much more specifically for gamers than non-gamers? Everyone knows about World of Warcraft, but how many people outside of hardcore gamers really know Starcraft? I'd say World of Warcraft will be a total force to be reckoned with, and the rallying power just makes it stronger. As far as places where you can rally for Warcraft, I would imagine the large majority of those people will be familiar with both games. As far as people strictly visiting GameFAQs on their own without rallying, they are still more likely to vote for Starcraft. Warcraft has a lot more people, but they're still many of the same people. Many people coming here not familiar with WoW (as in having played it) probably think lowly of it as opposed to probably thinking apathetically of Starcraft. WoW isn't much better off in that regard except for numbers, but you still can't differentiate the people so much. --- FastFalcon05 absolutely decimated me in the Guru challenge.

4way. But still, its a VERY intriguing game to see how well it does,

People think WoW would lose to Twilight Princess? I can't see TP being
worth much more than Wind Waker, and WoW is definitely going to be
stronger than Starcraft. Unless you think TP is OoT 2.0, WoW wins at
least 55-45. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 FastFalcon is apparantly better at contesty stuff than me. |

I'm tempted to say fact on this, but Starcraft could never rally more than 2500 or so, and while I don't think it reached its limit (if Melee's lead had been, say, 3000 instead of 3800, SC might have pulled it off even without cheating), WoW's limit probably isn't that much higher. FICTION: Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess > Super Smash Bros. Brawl > Super Mario Galaxy. I've been as down on Brawl as almost anyone, but it's not like TP impressed either- all it has going for it is the Legend of Zelda name. Brawl is a stronger game. --- Congratulations to Crono for making his first true finals match, your 5 time contest champion, Link, and the Guru Champion FastFalcon |

Oh, and against decent competition.....I don't think even 10,000 votes
is going to be enough. 60-40 in 1v1 with 130k total votes is 26,000
votes......in 1v1s, you actually have to have some strength to put you
in position for the rally. --- Congratulations to Crono for making his first true finals match, your 5 time contest champion, Link, and the Guru Champion FastFalcon |

God of War: Fiction. If either title makes it in, I'd expect it to be
the second, but split votes will probably keep both of them away in a
64 game contest. Kratos has decent nomination strength so I could be
wrong, but not as much as Dante and DMC missed out on 2k4's contest
even without DMC3. Twilight Princess: Fiction. I'd expect it to be weaker than Link to the Past. Diablo 2: Fiction. StarCraft > Diablo 2 > World of WarCraft. --- Mustache...and FastFalcon... |

I'm pretty sure this Majora's Mask faith is unfounded! http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2995 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3199 Top 100 List: LoZ:WW - #45, LoZ:MM - #46 Awkward comparison of polls and the Top 100 List, but it's worth pointing out we've seen before that LoZ:WW = LoZ:MM as we've often suspected and LoZ:TP crushed LoZ:WW. It's also worth pointing out LoZ:MM is less requested than GE on the VC while we assume GE = SM64 >= SMG and saw LoZ:TP beat SMG despite LoZ:WW. No way Majora's Mask beats Twilight Princess. LoZ:MM might impress or something head-to-head due to its sturdy fans, but it's not pulling out a victory. --- FastFalcon05 absolutely decimated me in the Guru challenge.

FACT or FICTION: Final Fantasy 8 will make it into the bracket. FACT. The only reason 10 made it last time and not 8 was because of the loaded 32-bit division. FACT or FICTION: Only one Halo game will make it into the bracket. FACT. 3 will make it in and that's it. FACT or FICTION: Only one Grand Theft Auto game will make it into the bracket. FACT. 4 is definite, San Andreas is possible, but I can't see it. FACT or FICTION: World of Warcraft can rally 10,000+ votes in a single match against any given opponent(s) [barring Starcraft/Diablo 2]. FICTION. It wouldn't be able to do that against any widely known and loved games like Marios and Zeldas. Anything that doesn't have a near-universal fanbase like that is FACT. FACT or FICTION: Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess > Super Smash Bros. Brawl > Super Mario Galaxy. Brawl > Galaxy > TP Am I the only one that notices how NOBODY talks about Twilight Princess any more? Melee > Wind Waker, so it seems obvious that Brawl > TP. And Galaxy was the first good Mario game in 10 years aside from NSMB. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 FastFalcon is apparantly better at contesty stuff than me. |

Fact Fact (Not sure which one makes it in though) Fact (Probably 4) Fiction (10k is a bit of a tall order! Sure it can rally a lot, but I don't see it on the same level as Starcraft!) Fiction (Brawl > TP > Galaxy) --- http://www.court-records.net/manga/4koma/(eng)4koma2.png Hail FastFalcon, our new guru overlord! |

You can tell WoW's going to be one of the annoying entrants this year - it's always the Blizzard games damn you rallyfear FACT or FICTION: Final Fantasy 8 will make it into the bracket. Fact. Hard to see FFVIII missing out, unless we only get FFVII/FFX/FFVI for Final Fantasy representation. Don't think we'd see another FF game before FFVIII. FACT or FICTION: Only one Halo game will make it into the bracket. Tough one. Think Halo can get two games in, the original and either Halo 2 or Halo 3. It wouldn't surprise me if only the original makes it, though. FACT or FICTION: Only one Grand Theft Auto game will make it into the bracket. Fiction. Think we'll see San Andreas and GTAIV. FACT or FICTION: World of Warcraft can rally 10,000+ votes in a single match against any given opponent(s) [barring Starcraft/Diablo 2]. Who knows. 10,000 seems like a bit much, but if it gets the same kinda support we saw from StarCraft toward the end of its run, I'd say so. FACT or FICTION: Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess > Super Smash Bros. Brawl > Super Mario Galaxy. Brawl > Twilight Princess > Galaxy. --- http://i36.tinypic.com/2hehbis.gif |

OK, so given Ngamer's terrific research, we know that the seedings are probably going to be completely whack. Like, maybe 2K2 style. So some games are probably going to get quite unlucky, and others will have Scorpion 2K2 like paths. --- Save_Us.RAT BREAK THE BLOCK DOWN |

N is leaving out nominations, which will clearly favour the FF7s of the
world. I also expect an element of common sense and not simply a
mathematical formula - if Link to the Past comes out as a 10 seed, I
trust SB will be like "uh, let's fix this." whack seeding doesn't really bug me though as long as good matches occur. if we get an Ocarina of Time / Super Metroid matchup, or a FF7 / FF10 matchup, or Melee/Goldeneye, I'll be disappointed. --- xyzzy blah blah blah Fastfalcon blah blah blah Solid Snake blah blah blah Guru Contest blah |
