No reason to think FFXII wouldn't be a threat to Half-Life. Whether or
not it wins is something else (I think it does - I have both HL games
going out in round 1), but it's definitely a threat. --- http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/3151/hadoukend.gif |

Because it has some stand-out factor and is the only option that has
anything close to real Nintendo support. It's not a terrible upset
pick, especially since the God of War games have never shown to be
worth much. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/8zkzm1.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

From: XxSoulxX | #050 I'm disappointed in how easily it's written off because it's Tales related. Hardcore fanbase prevail in these formats, and the games it's up against aren't exactly heavy hitters. Of course, Alyx > Lara shouldn't be talking! --- *is Dranze* Through fire, justice is served because FastFalcon05 owned my bracket. |

Wait, what? MM2 is favored over Tetris in round 2? What the hell is going on here? MMX favored over Sonic 2? If the BOP is updated, it looks as though I'm the only one with the RBY > MGS upset. Alright! I'm 1/2 with the Diablo 2 > SSBM/WW upset too! Surprised at that one. --- Good Times, Great Memories |

Gordon has proven to be much stronger then Balthier, and Half Life has
been proven to be stronger then Gordon himself (almost beating Metroid
Prime) I don't see any way Half Life 2 loses there --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/oops.jpg |

TBH, I think Half Life 2 could give FF6 a fight. Half Life is a very
respected FPS series on Gamefaqs (Probably the most respected), and
Valve is a well liked developer here. I don't think a very hated FF
really stands a chance --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/oops.jpg |

Wait, what? MM2 is favored over Tetris in round 2? What the hell is going on here? MMX favored over Sonic 2? - I can see Mega Man beat a Tetris game if Zelda could. - MMX/Sonic 2 is even to me but I went with MMX simply because of the format. Though for some reason I see Sonic games losing to anything close to it and remotely liked. I don't think SMW killed it because of the Mario/Sonic rivalry. Call it a mini-pac-man if you will. --- “Back in my day we used to actually play our videogames instead of watching them”- Vivi0198 |

MM and Zelda have nothing in common, strength wise. MM2 could very
easily lose to the weakest of Zeldas. Tetris has a lot going for it.
It's one of those games that has respect like crazy. --- Good Times, Great Memories |

Mega Man doesn't need to be Zelda to at least win. Of course I can see Zelda pulling it off, but Mega Man is very well loved enough. --- “Back in my day we used to actually play our videogames instead of watching them”- Vivi0198 |

I consider MM to be equal to Sonic in this topic. It will get SFFed by
just about anything and will lose to games it should beat because of so. Not saying that it should beat Tetris though. I would probably take Tetris over Sonic's best game too. --- ertyu is actually a language.

Well, I've never seen this ever demonstrated. Look at MM/Link, SMW/Sonic 2, Zelda/MMX (series), Smash Bros/Sonic (series). MM/Sonic are Nintendo proxies. They leech off of that fanbase, but are looked as outsiders (sort of). If they face a big time Nintendo game, they'll lose that support and then some. --- ertyu is actually a language.

Look at MM/Link, SMW/Sonic 2, Zelda/MMX (series), Smash Bros/Sonic (series). One thing you forgot to note was that the only examples of Mega Man being SFF'd himself was by Zelda. However that Sonic/Smash match was pretty impressive and didn't look like Sonic got hindered.. I consider Zelda an exception because it'll probably just kill anything even remotely on its system just like Goldeneye. I think he can stand up to most other series decently. Of course, Mega Man was never SFF'd as hard as Sonic 2 was; in fact, what happened between Sonic 2/SMW is what I'd expect a Zelda game to do to a Mega Man game more or less. Maybe a tad bit worse. --- “Back in my day we used to actually play our videogames instead of watching them”- Vivi0198 |

Actually I might not be giving Sonic 2 enough credit. >_> I don't
know where it could possibly be in strength so I can't say how hard it
got owned there. --- “Back in my day we used to actually play our videogames instead of watching them”- Vivi0198 |

are you calling Tetris a big time Nintendo game? No, I was arguing this: It will get SFFed by just about anything and will lose to games it should beat because of so. Well, I've never seen this ever demonstrated. I consider Tetris to be outright stronger then any MM/Sonic game though. --- ertyu is actually a language.

Which goes back to my MM/Sonic being Nintendo proxies. --- ertyu is actually a language. For example, 'dum' is ertyunese for 'godly'. - Topaz Kitsune Believe it or not, the Internet is serious business - Biolizard28 |

If they face a big time Nintendo game, they'll lose that support and then some. Yoshi may be popular, but he's not stronger then Mega Man. Mario/Mega Man would be the same result, just MM will be the one getting his ass kicked by SFF. --- ertyu is actually a language.

again, I agree - Super Mario World is a tough one for Mega Man 3 to deal with. but Tetris ain't that game. Tetris can win but it won't be because of some wonky SFF, it'll be because Mega Man 2 bombs. --- xyzzy http://i42.tinypic.com/2vbwhn4.jpg |

I know. I believe Tetris is outright stronger then any MM game, so it will win without anything like that. --- ertyu is actually a language. For example, 'dum' is ertyunese for 'godly'. - Topaz Kitsune Believe it or not, the Internet is serious business - Biolizard28 |

Final Fantasy 6 (2004g) VS Half-Life (2004g) Final Fantasy 6 has a strength of 43.34. Half-Life has a strength of 32.21. Final Fantasy 6 wins with 62.84% of the vote! A win of 20,092 with 78,237 total votes cast. And Half Life 2 has proven much bigger then the original (just look at Gordons strength boost since Half Life 2), plus the shift to shooters since 2004, that I could easily see Half Life 2 putting up 48% against FF6. Not to mention Half Life has a strength of 32, way higher then what FFXII could ever hope to muster. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/oops.jpg |

And if you want proof that Half Life popularity boosted since Half Life 2 came out... Gordon Freeman (2004c) VS Gordon Freeman (2005c) Gordon Freeman has a strength of 14.37. Gordon Freeman has a strength of 22.78. Gordon Freeman wins with 68.46% of the vote!

I mean a fight as in within 5%... like 52-48 or something. This doesn't really change what I said. If you think HL2 is a top 10 kinda game in this contest, go for it. Might as well think about taking it over TP, too! --- http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/3151/hadoukend.gif |

Nah. I don't have a problem with anyone picking HL2 there, it's not a
bad choice or anything. I just think people tend to look at Balthier
and say 'oh, yeah, no one likes FFXII' when that's pretty far from the
truth. --- http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/3151/hadoukend.gif |

And both will advance due to strength and being unique in the packs. I mean just look at that second round; RE4, KH2, TP, HL2 One of those games stands out. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/oops.jpg |

Half Life beating FF9 is debatable, Half-Life 2 beating 12 is a given. HL2 > HL FF9 >= FF12 --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

Turtle speaks truth (and it's about FF9!), but one thing is wrong there
-- any comparison between Final Fantasy and Half-Life is guesswork.
nothing concrete can really be said there. --- xyzzy http://i42.tinypic.com/2vbwhn4.jpg |

The reason Turtle stated is really what it comes down to. If anyone
thinks that Half Life has a shot against 9, you are contradicting
yourself to think Half Life 2 against FF12 isnt a given. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/oops.jpg |
