G/S has a shot but, like, Xenogears. Xenogears and FFT -- not in the same class.

SFII can go damn far if it makes it past the Mario 3/Mario World hurdle. I'd give it more of a chance than FFIV in that match, at least.

Super Mario RPG 56.24% 54390
Street Fighter II 43.76% 42314

dunno, I think you'd need a good chunk of SFF between CT and SMRPG to argue that FF4 would lose that match.

And we have no Mega Man numbers, it's just pure guesswork!

I had Mega Man 3 escaping behind Mario World at first, but now I feel foolish for having even considered it. If Mario World can crush Sonic 2 as badly as it did, there's no reason to believe Mega Man 3, an actual Nintendo game, will fare any better. The Final Fantasy split should favor IV pretty convincingly, and that's all I need to take it.

Kind of a shame, really, since I'd have taken Street Fighter II to win against two Mario games and a Mega Man.

SF2's a funny one. SF4 polls aren't convincing and it didn't exactly impress in 2004, yet people want to embrace it.

Also, does everyone else have the rather eerie reminder of the GoTY with CoD4/SSBB/MGS4/Fallout 3.

Because to my mind, that's the most predictable match I have set up in the whole bracket.


Brawl will NOT get through that R2 Galaxy/CoD4 match.

Call me crazy, but I'm starting to consider Galaga over Ninja Gaiden.

Wasn't that another huge title? Was it as big as.. Space Invaders?

Well, anyway, I suppose Duck Hunt could still pull something off... but it's literally the same game here. <_<

Man, Duck Hunt would be the obvious choice if SMB weren't there.

Galaga may not be worth much.. but it at least made it into the 2004 bracket. It must have *some* fans around here considering it had to fight a lot of arcade fans.

It's pretty much the only arcade game there too.

greatone10 | Posted 3/10/2009 5:18:24 PM | message detail
The worst part is, that final spot could actually end up taking second place, as you have OoT and either LttP or SMB3 splitting the Nintendo fanbase down the middle.

Galaga is on a lot of the older systems. People could have used their 2600, 7800, C64, etc. slots on Galaga.

Assuming LttP/Super Metroid/SMK/DKC happens (I have little faith in Doom) who makes it out in second with LttP? Everyone's going to get crushed there.

I don't believe CoD has that big of a rally in these polls (A gamer only knows MacMillan if they played the game) and it's Mario so it's very safe.

Halo 3 is the one to look for, Master Chief has been getting bigger and bigger with every contest it seems and Fallout 3 shouldn't give it that hard of a time. MGS4 though is a safe pick because I'm not convinced MC can stand up to that kind of a challenge.

SSBB may be the black sheep of the SSB series, but it's still SSB and the safe pick.
