Come on SM, hold on to the lead.
i don't care that i get more points if SMK>SM happens (Sonic3 > SM lol scoring system)

It's ****ing Super Metroid, the best game Nintendo ever made, and the best game on the SNES that doesn't have the word "Trigger" in it. (IMO)

Zidaneman | Posted 4/15/2009 2:36:39 PM | message detail
Very bad reasoning. Yes, they are PS2 games, but their fanbases are as far part as you could possibly think of. One is a mature game with heavy violence and not one that most kiddies are going to play. The other is powered heavily by the kiddie vote.

I think you have that backwards. One is a highly violent game that most "kiddies" see and go, "Omg, guns and cars and sex, playing this will make me so cool!", whereas the other is a very well put together adventure RPG that would probably make most kiddies bored, thus more liked by the older audience that can appreciate how good it is.

Dunno what's weirder, Sonic sucking this much or Samus actually holding up against Nintendo.

The idea that Samus folds to everything Nintendo is so overblown. She held up exactly like you'd expect against Link, and has performed to expectations or better against every Nintendo opponent not named Mario. Unless you want to take that Zelda match seriously... but that's just dumb as hell.

I never played Super Metroid, but of the games I have played, Zelda: Link To The Past is the best.

No different from SMK winning the DSV until halfway through SM starts winning!

I dunno, dude. Metroid > Kirby is about the only time she's ever impressed against Nintendo. She either does roughly what she's supposed to (which is impressive in a weird way), or she gets SFFd all the time.

I called it early on. This match is just too weird to not think anything is going on behind the scenes. Hopefully we'll hear from Bacon after this match regardless of who wins.

so close now. within 20 votes of each other. i cant believe metroid did so well. i also can't believe sonic did so bad. I actually played the first 3 sonic games + more, and i thought the third is the best of the first 3 and one of the best overall.
