Contra got 61% on Phantasy Star and 30% on Final Fantasy. There's room for Dragon Quest III in there with Zelda 1 eating up all the apathy votes and killing Metroid!

As a huge DW fan and a big proponent is dedicated fanbases mattering

DWIII would do good to do better than Space Invaders

yeah DW3 is single digit zone. Contra and Metroid should be the match there.

I've got more and more respect for Metroid after watching Pac-Man do better on MM2. damned franchise votes.

Ryu H only dominated Europe against Zero because Zero's Europe vote is horrendous.


That last poll means jack****. May I remind you who Ryu always falls apart against?

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.
RPGuy96 | Posted 4/8/2009 10:44:01 PM | message detail
Dragon Quest got 24% on Smash Bros., which compares favourably to Devil May Cry in the same fourpack. Contra doesn't have a dedicated fanbase and Metroid's is going to abandon it because Zelda 1 is shinier (literally).

(Okay so I picked it because I don't care about 2 points in the scheme of things but it could happen, dammit!)

Man, I just realized that Oregon Trail, despite being eternities worse in Europe than Mega Man, did way better on it than Pac-Man did on Metroid.

...Metroid's so screwed this year. Just based on 2k4 alone it looks like it could beat every game in the top half of this division.

Yes, let's ignore the main point of the example while deflecting the blame instead of merely compensating for it.

-LusterSoldier- | Posted 4/8/2009 10:50:10 PM | message detail
yeah DW3 is single digit zone. Contra and Metroid should be the match there.

I would think so. Even with DW3 most likely being a bit stronger than Galaga, Zelda's fourpack is stronger than SMB's fourpack. I'd say DW3 would probably be falling around 8-10%.



With this kind of beast performance from SMB, the closer SMB's final percentage is to SMB3's percentage, the better I like the chances of SMB > Zelda 1 in round 2 and round 3. But I'll wait until SMB3 is up before I make any kind of calls on how SMB would do on Zelda 1.

That wasn't even SMB1's best update though, Duck Hunt did much worse than at any other point right there. I mean, it tends to suffer on SMB's good updates, but that was just surprising.

I give up on trying to follow that, Duck Hunt rebounds to 13% with a 15 vote cut when SMB pulls a 71% update.

Supposedly, the record for the closest match in a 4-way was Weighted Companion Cube > Mega Man, where the lead maxed out at 500. This match could possibly break this record if it says close all day. And if it stays within less than 100 votes all day, that could be a record that will probably never be broken.
