| Er, LttP's competition gets crushed in the
quarters, and then it rides an easy SFF win over Mario 3/Mario
World/whatever else makes it if they split too much (SFII/MM3?) in the
semis. --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |

Argh, so many games wasted to LFF in this bracket. The 1998-2000
division in particular is horrible with 2 RPG/1 PC/1 Nintendo game 4
packs. --- FastFalcon and Solid Snake snapped my neck in the guru contest. |

Anyone want to bother seeing what all games got snubbed here that were in the 2004 contest? --- http://l33trappacat.blogspot.com/ |

Agreed there. And, yeah, I guess FFX making it is more likely than I
thought - it really only has to compete with MGS, and it's not
impossible that MGS4 is in that match too (TP/RE4/MGS4/Brawl or Galaxy
has a lot to favour MGS4). --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |

LttP takes an easy second there, for sure. CT's gotta deal with way too much SFF there, unfortunately. --- Enough expository banter! Now we fight like men! And ladies! And ladies who dress like men! |

Besides flooding the boards, the Add/Remove topics also get us pissed
off at each other for trying to get each others' favorite games removed. It's like SBAllen went out of his way to piss the board off, and I love him all the more for it! --- http://l33trappacat.blogspot.com/ |

I am convinced Bacon is using this Add/Remove feedback as a mini SteriLUEzation against anyone who dare make a joke. Oh, and format sucks massively, we want Ceej back, etc. --- SSBB FC: 4425-1156-3590 Looking for a new sig. |

I hope Bacon takes our suggestion to make a POTD asking which format
the site prefers. At least we can get that part of it out of the way.

I figured I'd compile a list of snubs from 2004. Here we go, separated by generation. Metal Gear Phantasy Star Pitfall Adventure Shining Force The Simpsons Mortal Kombat Suikoden II Dance Dance Revolution NiGHTS into Dreams Fallout 2 Soul Calibur Skies of Arcadia Final Fantasy Tactics Advance Fire Emblem Shenmue Note: Shining Force 2, Suikoden 1, and Fallout 1 are in in place of their respective 2004 counterparts. 16 games, meaning 3/4's of 2004's bracket returned for 2009. These games were all weak anyway, so no big loss. In fact, FFTA is the only one of those 16 that actually won its match, and that's because it was against FE, another snub. Also, I'm gonna go ahead and rely on 4chan to rally Battletoads over FF7 and win the entire thing. At least, I'll do it on a for-fun bracket. I'm running out of posts and there's nothing really to discuss about the bracket other than the chaos, so I'm gonna do something productive like eat or play KOTOR or continue my FF5A random class challenge (finally making my Bard semi-useful). --- http://l33trappacat.blogspot.com/ |

From: Yesmar | #170 SFFed LttP over RE4? Really? I'm more tempted to put RE4 over OoT in that scenario, though I don't think I could pull the trigger, even though I imagine if anything could hurt OoT, it'd be LttP. --- http://l33trappacat.blogspot.com/ |

it's gonna take me a couple days to come around to this idea. I can't
even formulate an argument to some of this stuff yet. FF7/FF6/CT/LTTP I
mean really? --- xyzzy http://i42.tinypic.com/2vbwhn4.jpg |

On Monday, I will go through that topics that garnered the most
interest (i.e. replies agreeing with your choice) and possibly make
alterations to the bracket, if your argument is compelling enough. And my idea of mixing formats is kicking ASS with agreements.

I don't think anyone's really looked at the bracket yet, just everyone
scrambling to a game in over another. Once we get some predix, we'll
probably hear all sorts of stuff - who's ready for some Blizzard hype?

about it, we'll get more discussion. This isn't even really the final
bracket. --- http://www.court-records.net/animation/phoenix-superobjection.gif |

I'm tempted just because DK choking is pretty much the closest thing we
ever get to a lock in these contests... but, I dunno, Little Mac wasn't
worth much of anything. DK probably gets through on name recognition
alone. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

I've got predictions, but the top half is boring the bottom half is a
"who you're with" mess. Even with the division by era nonsense the
second round and on would be a neat 1v1 contest but as a 4way it's
boring. For example, this is a neat division (probably a little neater if you move WW away from Melee): Final Fantasy X Metal Gear Solid 2 Metroid Prime Kingdom Hearts Halo Grand Theft Auto 3 Super Smash Bros. Melee Wind Waker But with fourways the top half is "how much does KH hurt FFX?" and the bottom half is "how much does WW hurt Melee?" and the division final is "does Prime make it there or not?". --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |

Alright, I'm no longer warned. Nothing to really talk about so far. Even if it were finalized and predictions were enabled, what all would there be to talk about other than the likelihood of possible SFF scenarios? Winning this contest will take more luck than skill, so I might as well pick Battletoads > Phoenix Wright for my final and hope 4chan pulls through. Though I feel I've been rewarded with this bracket, since it's the worst possible bracket I could imagine. 4-way, generations, major LFF potential? It's a complete joke, and it's like I'm in on it. I'm such a dick. --- http://l33trappacat.blogspot.com/ |

I dunno that I'd look to Little Mac for that. Punch-Out!! is a lot better than the character. --- http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/3006/wtfcrono.jpg |

as I said elsewhere, I believe a round 2 match could determine the winner of this contest. god damn format. --- xyzzy STREET FIGHTER 4, SON http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvPKGSk13zo |

I'm pretty sure that people know who Mike Tyson is... even if they've
never played Punch-Out!! Sure, DK's got his name, but Punch-Out has...
erm... an actually decent-looking game in the works, and Mike Tyson
right on the name. I really have no idea how strong/weak DK is supposed to be. All that's transitive with him is how much he chokes (and you have no idea how hard that is to see your favorite character screw up year after year, no matter how incredibly well he does it). Well, at least it seems like a fun opening to an otherwise incredibly lackluster contest. --- "I'm surrounded by idiots" ~ Scar, The Lion King Nominate Banjo-Kazooie and DKC2.

I don't think we'll do it with nearly as much fervor as usual. Expect
the stats topic to be carried by people responding to Albion's trolling
even more than last year. Like I told Leon, I can't expect this to go
much longer. The "majority" Bacon is trying to appease probably doesn't
care, the people who do
care clearly don't approve of the way he's running this, and to top it
all off, he seems to hate this contest business, anyway. I dunno how
much longer we'll go, but things certainly don't point to another six
or seven healthy years of contests. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/8zkzm1.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
