What? Looking back at past results, I don't see anytime he didn't massacre Donkey Kong the two faced. I was talking about last year. Kratos lost to Captain Falcon by over 10% and finished behind an SFFd Diddy Kong. --- "Here I go! Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance!

From: Fayt_Esteed | #351 Yeah, I got mixed up with the Kratos' sicne we've been debating two different kratos over the last 2 hours >_>; --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/Meracle.jpg |

DragonQuest certainly doesn't have a hardcore fanbase. With that said, I wouldn't really put it over Paper Mario 2. --- *is Dranze* Through fire, justice is served because FastFalcon05 owned my bracket. |

I like the rest of Europe seems to give Crono some support, but in the UK he's Tanner bad. --- Donkey Kong Country 2's path to Best Game Ever '09. vs. Super Mario RPG, Goldeneye, Resident Evil 2. Ugh, my top 3 games in the same match. |

Too bad we can't see the totals for each region on the current poll, it
would be kick ass to watch the games contest at different regions,
there's bound to be an interesting match somewhere. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls Submit BOP here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=48529509 |

Too bad we can't see the totals for each region on the current poll I think we have to wait for the current poll to end before we can view region results. We'll see if this is the case later tonight. Also, Finland has a good sense of humor: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3257®ion=FI http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3282®ion=FI http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3295®ion=FI L-Block won in all 3 polls. The Dog also managed to defeat Ryu in Finland. This would not necessarily hold true for WCC, since they love Mega Man and Snake. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but still not as cool as FastFalcon05, Guru Champ! |

I'm loving this new feature. From what I can see in Cloud/Mewtwo/Squall/Sora and Squall/Sora/Yoshi/Fox, it looks like Sora would have beaten Squall if it wasn't for Europe; Sora has the US-edge and Asia-edge in both of them and generally kept close in the rest of the regions...but man, Sora bombed in Europe to Squall. Similar things were seen in Sora/Fox/Chris/Tim, Luigi/Liquid/Roxas/Sho, both of Riku's matches, and the 2008 Best Remake poll. Is KH just not that big in Europe? --- Prototype Shorthand, do you speak it?! |

BT, only people that the stats topic likes
are eligible for the Crew. People like you and Albion aren't getting
there, and I'm borderline and only bringing it up because...just who is
on the Crew, anyway? --- FastFalcon believed in Snake. I didn't. |

Well, "were" would be the key word there. But um....I like to see
interesting picks from the Crew. Like Lopen and HM's crazy upsets,
which are always backed up by enough reasoning to appear plausible. --- Hobbes: What's the point of attaching a number to everything you do? Calvin: If your numbers go up, it means you're having more fun. |

Crew isn't about having perfect picks anyway, it's about good reasoning
and being an interesting read. nobody really cares who got how many
right. nobody really cares that I got so and so match right or wrong.
sometimes we break out erotic fanfiction or haiku or capital letters or
whatever the hell we feel like - it's all about fun. you guys that are like HEY I GOT SO AND SO MATCH RIGHT IN 2006 PUT ME ON DA CREW clearly don't get what we're all about! --- xyzzy http://i42.tinypic.com/2vbwhn4.jpg |

From: BlAcK TuRtLe | #388 All you need to make any upset seem plausible is "LFF" or "joke votes." From: MyWorldIsCrono | #390 I was on the Top 50 last contest and was even leading Guru at one point, at least until around the time L-Block lost and I ended up placing very low on the guru board. Shows how little I know since I lost. I'd be pissed that I wasn't being listened at more, but hell, I have no ****ing clue what's going to happen in this contest, so I'm not gonna bother trying to be heard since I don't have anything useful to say anyway. --- http://gamebros.smackjeeves.com/ http://l33trappacat.smackjeeves.com/ |

Let's have fun. Donkey Kong Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! Space Invaders Tetris Angry contest members will anti-vote Tetris because of L-Block, Super Punch-Out!! on VC this week plus Punch-Out!! Wii hype means PO gets first, and Donkey Kong will suffer due to being a face of Nintendo. Punch-Out > Space Invaders. Mega Man 2 Pac-Man Pong The Oregon Trail Even kids who didn't have a NES played Oregon Trail. Use of it will hit newer members who missed out on MM2. Pong's a classic and a good candidate for joke votes. Oregon Trail > Pong Duck Hunt Galaga Ninja Gaiden Super Mario Bros. Duck Hunt LFFs SMB enough that hahaha I can't go that far SMB gets first easily. Second is non-NES Galaga which avoids LFF and may be a more recognizable name than the other two games. Dragon Warrior III Contra Metroid The Legend of Zelda Zelda and Metroid LFF each other and Zelda gets second to Contra. Sorry, I can't make Dragon Warrior not suck. Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! Space Invaders Pong The Oregon Trail Hahaha only one NES game Punch-Out!! > Oregon Trail since everyone's played Oregon Trail. Galaga Super Mario Bros. Contra The Legend of Zelda SMB and Zelda are so strong they LFF down and allow Contra > Galaga. Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! The Oregon Trail Galaga Contra The violent NES games LFF and we have Oregon Trail > Galaga. So the winner of the first division is The Oregon Trail with Galaga in second. --- http://gamebros.smackjeeves.com/ http://l33trappacat.smackjeeves.com/ |
