It will against Goldeneye, I mean. Goldeneye is a massively popular game on a Nintendo console. Old as it may be there's no reason it shouldn't win the day vote against Resident Evil. --- So I lost a bet to creativename (yeah...hardly shocking). Like usual, I should've known better!

From: MyWorldIsCrono | #190 See, the thing is, these "kids" grew up with the N64 generation. All the 16-18 year olds that are the most popular agegroup on this site all started with the N64/PS1 generation of games. Goldeneye to them is what Mario 3 is to us. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

The reason I think Goldeneye will do horrible during the day is because
its aged horribly, and for younger people who try to play it nowadays,
its total crap. It only has nostalgia for it these days. So I can't see
kids voting for it in droves. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/voteps4plz.jpg |

I don't really understand what's happening to this topic. First it's
people thinking MK2 had a chance of upsetting Sonic 2. Others followed
that stupidity with thinking Earthbound could beat Super Mario World 2.
Now this... I know the contest is running a little dry after the first few matches, but please, for Christ's sake, don't argue over locks and try to make something out of nothing. Argue over OoT Vs. FFVII if you want, or why SFF/LFF isn't happening here, but don't try to argue for these pointless matches. --- Good Times, Great Memories |

There is no reason to think Goldeneye finishing first is a lock. Sure, its the favorite, but definently not a lock. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/voteps4plz.jpg |

I never said it's a lock for first. It's a lock to beat RE2. SMRPG
could beat Goldeneye if Square fans and Mario fans vote for it in
droves, but Goldeneye would finish second there if that was the case. --- ertyu is actually a language. For example, 'dum' is ertyunese for 'godly'. - Topaz Kitsune Believe it or not, the Internet is serious business - Biolizard28 |

From: MyWorldIsCrono | #206 So let me get this straight. The game that basically gave birth to the console FPS and has proven strength and a large N64 fanbase behind it will lose to a terribly aged, zombie shooter that really contributed nothing and has a history of mediocrity? That aside, look at Resident Evil's day votes in the past. I'm convinced RE2 would lose the day to Alucard. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

Thats another reason why I got RE2 finishing first. Nearly sff free while Goldeneye dealing with 2 way Nintendo SFF. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/voteps4plz.jpg |

Except that other then the extreme case of SMB/Duck Hunt, there's been
no proof of any SFF in this contest. And it could be argued that there
wasn't any SFF in the SMB/DH/NG match. --- Good Times, Great Memories |

And would Resident Evil not garner moer franchise voting then
Goldeneye, which isn't even a franchise? And you seem to have forgotten
about Sonic 3/Mario Kart/Metroid killing Sonic 3. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/voteps4plz.jpg |

Wait You use SFF as justification for your pick then you turn around and berate Doom's performance. That if anything should make it obvious that only the worst kind of SFF is going to vault RE2 into contention here. And that SFF isn't evident in this match. --- So I lost a bet to creativename (yeah...hardly shocking). Like usual, I should've known better!

From: Lopen | #219 SFF is evident in any match. And a match that should be as close as this, SFF can be the winning factor for RE2. A SFF beat down and SFF hurting it enough to lose is different. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/blue/Albion+Hero.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/voteps4plz.jpg |

It's working, it's just not working enough to matter. Trust me, we'll
see some cases where it's going to be nasty later. First sample of this
will be SSBM vs Wind Waker I think. --- So I lost a bet to creativename (yeah...hardly shocking). Like usual, I should've known better! FACT: Halo 3 was 1000% responsible for Master Chief's boost. |

| Then, why isn't is working as intended? We all thought DKC was going to get fodderized by LttP, that Sonic 3 would eke out a win as SMK and SM were duking it out, etc., yet it never actually worked as we thought it would. |

I believe games are different from characters. People have much more affection for actual games then they do of the characters. We will see SFF in matches like OoT/SM64, but for other matches (like for games on the Playstations or SNES where there is multiple huge fanbases) you won't see it so clearly. --- Good Times, Great Memories |

From: XxSoulxX | #224 I already said this, but with games that are that old, all of the popular games are for the most part overlapping due to the playership being high for all of them. SFF is so universal in these divisions that you don't notice it in cases where it should seem like there would be more. Perfect example is that Super Metroid match. A lot of us (me included) assumed that SNES SFF would allow Sonic 3 a free ride to the next round, but all 3 of those games were so universally played that the SFF hurt Sonic just as much as it did SMK and SM. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

As for DK/Doom, DK did get hurt, it's just that Doom sucks so much it wasn't strong enough to capitalize. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

Damn, looks like I missed the meat of this argument. Most of us are in agreement that RE2 has a very fighting chance for second place, right? That's all I'm arguing. --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

SFF is working. It just so happens that non-Squintendo entities are hilariously weak. Explain the last match, then. If there was LFF between MMX and LA (certainly less of a stretch than 007 and SMRPG), then how in the world did LA get 43.9% on FFVI? (How in the world did that happen assuming no LFF is a valid question as well, I think.) --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |

Trust me, we'll see some cases where it's going to be nasty later. First sample of this will be SSBM vs Wind Waker I think. I really, really, really, really doubt SSBM blasts Wind Waker with SFF. The hate for that game is overrated on Board 8, just like the hate for...well, every major game for a major franchise. Very impressed with Secret of Mana's performance here. I really didn't expect it to do this well. 26% in a poll with Sonic 2 and MKII is legit stuff. Sonic 2, on the other hand... Street Fighter II vs. Mortal Kombat II: Who you got? Sonic 1 vs. Sonic 2 (directly and indirectly): Who you got? --- http://www.court-records.net/animation/phoenix-superobjection.gif |

| Attack of the sequels: SFII and Sonic 2. SFII is most certainly bigger than MK2, and Sonic 2 has Super Sonic while Sonic 1 lacks him, so it wins almost by default. :p |

| I dunno. SMRPG Is a very strong game (insert "ITS FREAKIN' MARIO!" here), and Goldeneye is Goldeneye. It would take a pretty big swing in popularity for RE2 to win this one, at least easily. |
| Masato_Tanaka | Posted 4/18/2009 1:42:03 PM | message detail |
| Honestly, even though technically there are 3
"Nintendo" entities in the next match, they are all completely
different games with completely different fanbases I'll wager.
Literally the only huge perceivable overlap is Mario and Donkey Kong,
which more or less spells doom for DKC2 and will probably get it last
place unfortunately. But that doesn't effect Goldeneye nor RE2, meaning
if anything, the only game that would get some kind of special benefit
is Super Mario RPG. --- The Straight Up G The Palace of Wisdom Hardcore Legend and Board 8er Masa/Hiko |

The early morning vote owned MMX. LA did the worst during the night, but once morning hit, it seemed to excel. PSIV with the board vote?

Just for ****s and giggles, where does everyone think Zelda II falls in
the hierarchy? I know I saw a Zelda tier list just a few topics back,
but I don't recall seeing where Zelda II ranked on there, I figure
mostly because we haven't seen it in a contest setting. But now that
we've seen LA in action, where would this one fall? --- The Straight Up G The Palace of Wisdom Hardcore Legend and Board 8er Masa/Hiko |

I love RE2 to death, but I don't think it can ever challenge for first
place today. However, unless franchise voting is vicious (or unless
Mario RPG was SFF'D by Chrono Trigger and has maintained its popularity
well), it won't need to. I still believe RE2 is within earshot of SotN,
and if Mario is hampered at all by the other Nintendo games' presence,
that could be enough strength to get the job done. --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
