If you doubt LTTP will pound the other 2 Nintendo games into oblivion, and that they will hurt each other top of that....well, we shall see.

10...vote...difference.

O.O

I'm rooting for SM > SMK, because I have SM > S3 and I want at least 2 points.

I'm going to quote Ulti here. This quote comes from Ocelot>Nemesis 2005:

"All we know for a fact is that Ocelot was clearly at a disadvantage going into the next round. He had to hope and pray that Wily was weak as hell, which is a bad thing to hope for when trying to win a tough match. It's much better to believe in your own strength rather than another's weakness in a fight. "

Between the two Nintendo games, my money's on Metroid. It has a hardcore fanbase, whereas SMK strikes me as the ultimate Nintendo casual draw.

Of course, didn't we say something about SMB killing SSB because we thought SSB was a casual draw and couldn't stand up to MARIO?!

I wouldn't rule out Super Mario Kart that quickly. Seriously, people who love Mario Kart really love Mario Kart, self included. I don't think it's going to fold as easily as we think. And no, people don't care about Mario Kart games after the first two, so don't be bustin' out MKDS or MKWii polls!

Yeah, put the ultimate case of SFF in (talking about Squall/Sora. That Sora turned out to be weaker than Squall says a ton about how much people like his KH incarnation) then add the second strongest character out there, who ALSO applies SFF, and even fodder is guaranteed a pass. The problem is that, in this case, there isn't an ultimate case of SFF, so Doom has to rely on LttP being able to SFF MK and SM much harder than Cloud could SFF Squall and Sora.

I'm not sure what this is supposed to show. Of course it's better to rely on your own strength than your opponent's weakness. That doesn't mean that SFF and LFF aren't real, or that they can't make a huge difference.

And I will gladly lose points for Mario Kart to beat Super Metroid here! Again, I ask now: Super Metroid vs. Metroid Prime, who you got?

And Metroid looking so pathetic all of a sudden makes Pokemon's performance not look THAT great!*

Not really. Doom is a middle of the pack game just like Mewtwo is a middle of the pack character.

And game SFF has shown to be more dentrimental. Squall got tripled by Cloud just got Super Metroid got just as tripled almost.

I don't see why Doom going to he third round is somehow miraculous.

How does this performance help MM? If anything, it shows that having a big Nintendo name like Metroid won't necessarily save you from destruction! Same goes for LA!*

What is it with Mario Kart and these huge spikes out of nowhere. It's done that 3 times in the last 2 hours, and those spikes represent pretty much all of MK's gain on SM in that time.

But this performance helps MM because people keep pointing to Pokemon holding up to Metroid as if that's some evidence of strength! Au contraire, mon frere!

Not so much miraculous as much as being a tossup. I can see Doom scoring second place, sure. But people seem to think it's going to cruise to an easy victory with something like 5% more than MK and SM or something, while I think it's going to have to scratch and claw its way to second place. Do I think Doom can't win? No. Do I think it's going to have an easy win? Hell no.

How easy Doom wins depends on Super Mario Kart. If it folds to aLttP as badly as SM did in 2k4, Doom walks all over it. If it holds up better, it's down to how much SM LFF's SMK. 3-way LFF is quite painful.

It let Mewtwo advance over Squall and Sora pretty easily:
