Wait people think SOTN > SM64? 28 Super Mario 64 21.92% 32 Castlevania: Symphony of the Night 20.27% And that's with SM64 being SFF by OoT. Sure GoldenEye was too, but not as bad as SM64. Also SOTN is probably weaker now than it was in 2004. --- 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 |

No response to why I think RE > SOTN? I have a convincing argument. I have doubts as to the extent of any MGS/RE SFF. Ocelot/Jill's really the only thing to imply any. I mean, based on how well Castlevania did in the Series Contest compared to all non-Alucard characters, it's popularity has to come from somewhere. --- FastFalcon owned me in the Guru Contest! |

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1620 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1643 We've often argued about GE/MGS, so let's assume they're even. RE gets 36.08% on C:SotN in 2004 like this. C:SotN does beat RE by thirty-eight spots on 2005's Top 100 List (#15 to #53) and it's had re-releases since then, even if Alucard has done down since 2004. With all of the reasons given so far about this upset, it's possible; there are worse upsets...but I really don't like its chances. I doubt I'd take RE2 > C:SotN, so I'm shying away from this one. --- Prototype Shorthand, do you speak it?! |

You also have to remember that the REmakes came out in 2003. I can't
see any scenario where Resident Evil wins in that situation. Like I
said a few topics ago, SotN > SM64 is more likely than RE > SotN --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

From: BlAcK TuRtLe | #469 Yeah, MC is done. The 2007 contest was an anomaly because the contest was going on the same time Halo 3's release was occuring. The hype from that gave MC a colossal boost the likes of which he will never see again. He'll still make the field but won't make any noise this year or the next. Bungie is also moving on after ODST is finished (at least, that's what I heard) meaning MC has nowhere to go but down. --- Today's Subliminal Thought Is: |

HaRRicH | Posted 4/4/2009 8:52:34 PM | message detail |
How does that number come from having Goldeneye equal to MGS? RE's 29.38% to C:SotN's 40.72% brings us to C:SotN 64-36'ing RE if MGS = GE. That skips over any FF7/MGS-controversy, and I mentioned that its main arguments have already been covered (including the MGS/RE-controversy) so I wouldn't just repeat everything. It's got a chance, but that's a big gamble for me. --- Prototype Shorthand, do you speak it?! |

From: HaRRicH | Posted: 4/4/2009 11:52:34 PM | #477 Ah, so you eliminated the FF7/MGS SFF but kept the MGS/RE? That's fair enough, plus it shows how much SFF there needs to be between RE and MGS to pull RE even with Castlevania. We'll see how it goes down soon enough. And excellent work as always, char.

God, I love this place, and the contests are always fun to watch, but
god damn, this place has the most depressing taste in games. FFVII
isn't bad by any means, but it's not as good as some of the classics. I
guess I'm just a Nintendo guy at heart. I almost feel bad putting FFVII
in the winners slot. I die a little inside. On that (lovely) note, how likely is this Elite Eight: SMB1 Tetris SM64 FFVII OOT Starcraft TP Galaxy --- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Guru winnah Explicit Content, that's quis. |

Maybe a match of OoT, TP, LttP and Mario 64 but even then... >_> That would still hurt Mario 64 somewhat. Since I'm bored waiting for the contest to start, I've been keeping track of the updates in today's poll. Right now, the "I don't use any social networking sites" is getting in regular cuts on Facebook. That option is also pulling off some scary 100 vote gains on MySpace during the worst time of the day for vote totals. Facebook and MySpace are dropping in percentage rather hard, which I suspect would be due to the UK not really being into social networking sites. Facebook's lead on the last 10 updates: 2614, 2603, 2586, 2561, 2555, 2557, 2545, 2534, 2529, 2519. Facebook is unlikely to blow that 2500 vote lead. I'm still surprised that Facebook is almost tripling MySpace. Didn't expect the blowout to be that bad. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but still not as cool as FastFalcon05, Guru Champ! |
