On the subject of DKC2 Vs MM2, MM2 obviously. I would say more, but others have already said what needs to be said.

Doom vs DKC2 I think is a more debatable match, and around the level I think DKC2 will end up. I'd take Doom there, but you know.

Dante can only exceed his strongest game by so much considering he doesn't whore himself into 8000 games. (Master of the cameo appearance he may be)

DMC3 probably does decently. I'm not taking it over any powerhouses but it could probably make the top 32 pretty easy.

DMC is likely pretty weak. I'd probably go DKC2 over it. I dunno there.

Dante is just an aberration. I have no idea how he's so much stronger than his games.

2008 was moderately uneventful, but it wasn't that bad.

I mean, there was the Snake stuff, Crono, Kirby, Zack, Crono, Pikachu, Crono, Crono, Crono.

HaRRicH | Posted 12/3/2008 12:06:42 AM | message detail
I mean, most of the first round wasn't so hot this year, but the last two weeks were a lot more interesting than most contests' and Division 1 was one of my favorite divisions to watch and discuss in a LONG time despite Link reaming everyone (though that was also a positive) and I never got full credit on a match once in it. It also replaced L-Block winning big with Solid stealing second place.

It's not one of my favorite contests, but I like it more than the trash-contests really easily and I liked it more than last year.

FastFalcon05 absolutely decimated me in the Guru challenge. How bad was it?

Yeah. That's true. But my complaint was about all the SFF. All the Nintendo powerhouses were at the top half of the bracket, and the bottom half was Square kingdom. Seriously, you'd be hard-pressed to find a match in 2008 that DIDN'T have SFF.

Yeah, there was too much SFF, but I kinda liked the LFF-situations they brought up (no matter how many times MMX > Mario burnt me!). There doesn't need to be another contest so based on it, but it brought up some scary situations I liked.

TP has the potential to be weaker than WW.

No, it doesn't. How many times do people have to bust out that Game of the Century poll?

And a thought occurred to me: The fact that Bacon is even talking about seeding at all (Yeah, I know the last two contests had no "visible" seeding) gives me hope that this is a one-on-one contest.

I snubbed FF8 because FF9 had more nominations on the board, and one of those will directly affect the other.

I put FF7 as a 2 seed because it's got few nominations at this point and its scores aren't as high as the other games. I don't think it really matters.
