and SSF2T is HARDLY a clone. Its more of a different game then alot of the games in the same series in this contest.

It had more then twice the characters, a new engine, new moves, super bars, twice the levels...

Its kinda a joke to have MM2 and 3 both in the contest but SSF2T isn't allowed along with SF2 >_>

That is a bit of a good sign for Street Figher game. Two verisions of the same game making the bracket! Talk about overcoming LFF.

simcity is way stronger then Civilization, btw.

I would've thought Civ was stronger. It's at least vaguely relevant today.

I know games =/= characters, but how many of you guys with SF2 > Sonic would consider taking Ryu > Sonic in a 4-way match? I mean, pretty much everybody who would vote for Street Fighter would vote for Ryu, and Sonic just keeps disappointing every year.

That would be a sexy upset, depending on the other 2 characters

Ryu is too far away from Crono to make me consider him over Sonic without some helpful LFF, even after SFIV.

Still they're closer to the same game then SF2 and SSF2T are >_> SSF2T is essentially a sequel just using the same name to generate more sales

Even the graphics were redone over the installments as you can see Ryu looks alot cleaner and his fireball has more special effects:

True but your assuming that ssft2 could have taken mm3s place.

There was not a Mortal Kombat in the contest yet. I say thats fair enough.

Now might there have been another game to put in instead of MM3. Maybe. But mega seems powerful enough on paper. More powerful at least than Dragon Warrior III is showing to be at the moment.

Plus, you know darn well there wouldn't a be a lot of difference in performance between the two. So chill.

If anything SSF2T should have been the rep since its the perfect version of SF2 and is the one people play to this day.

Round 1 - Division 2: Match 1

Castlevania III


Should be fairly weak, but not as weak as some of the other stuff we've seen.

Civilization

Shoe-in for last, lol turbofodder

Sonic the Hedgehog

Probably the weakest Sonic in the bracket, shouldn't have trouble advancing

Street Fighter II

This version doesn't have Cammy? No Cammy, no dice!

Analysis:

There's been a little bit of discussion on this match over the last few days, but I don't see a justification for it. Street Fighter 2 was close to Sonic 2 in the 2004 X-stats, and since then, Street Fighter has had a resurgance in popularity while Sonic characters have taken a complete nosedive. The Street Fighter HD Remix and Street Fighter 4's recent release would give me confidence to take Street Fighter 2 over Sonic 2, and I would imagine Sonic 2 is a good bit stronger than the original.

TuRtLe's Prediction: Street Fighter 2 35%, Sonic 31%, Castlevania III 21%, Civilization 13%
TuRtLe's Bracket: Street Fighter 2 > Sonic
TuRtLe's Vote: Street Fighter I guess
