6/8 points - The Best. Game. Ever 2009 Contest
NP: Super Mario Bros. > Ninja Gaiden | http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=4

I suppose you're right.

I'm just saying, you catch flies more easily with honey than vinegar. When everyone started complaining I saw some of the Pics Topic guys ho ahead and made even crazier pics just to spite people. >_>

They're not actually looking out. Their pupils are looking inwards. It's just hard to see on the pic.

There's a difference between criticism and constructive criticism, and what I saw wasn't constructive.

I mean, look at Bacon. You think he's in any mood to give us some leeway now? Same principle.

Well, it can hardly be constructive once the pic is set in stone already, since its too late to change it.

that one style GameFAQs ASCII is obsessed with are pretty much the only match pics I don't like.

This, this, dear God this. Thank God people stopped using it for every ****ing match.

I still wish we went back to only one picture per match even if they are user made. I thought the single picture helped add to the epicness of 02's and 03's finals.

I totally agree. Plus it should get rid of the clutter of crappy pics if Bacon is able to select the one best; heres hoping he isn't an art conussier though!

Glad I'm not the only one sick of the GF ASCII digital blur ****. That is an annoying style.

And yes, we desperately need to go back to one picture per match.

Digitial blur does suck.

Because of Duck Hunt's amazing asv against Donkey Kong obviously. :-P

Only reason NG is winning asv against Duck Hunt now is because of SMB being in the match.

You can't tell who will take the ASV until after 3 PM. There's been numerous cases of the ASV loser doing well from 2-3 before.

And if Ninja Gaiden faced Donkey kong in the asv, it would rip it apart. Theres different levels of ASV, afterall.

You know I just thought of something. You know this could be the Ninja Gaiden arcade version or NES version (which are totally different btw) and it probably wouldn't make a bit of difference. Literally. The Xbox game probably wouldn't fare much different if you think about it. Ninja Gaiden is Ninja Gaiden! Flip out, kill, etc. :)
