Regardless, Halo is slowing down. IF so, there might be time for a KOTOR comeback.

So far, Tiger is the best new addition to this year's stats topic.

I, like clockwork, have been humiliated by hochiminh
Hochiminh is better than me. I was a numbskull for thinking I could defy Him.

Ya know, I would've loved to see how Starcraft/FF8/Xenogears would've gone if SSB wasn't shafted in favor of Soul Calibur (and why did they do that anyway?).

Because we already have 2 SSB games, and Soul Calibur deserved to come back.

message detail SSBB/SMG. I do wanna ask if you still want to continue with the bet if Pokemon D/P makes it into the match too though. I'm comfortable enough with it to go on with the bet, but I'm not crazy about it now that it looks like it has a legit shot of advancing with SMG. What's your take on that?


I still doubt that new Pokemon will have anywhere near the same strength, but I can't see how it would hurt Galaxy or Brawl any more than the other so I see no reason to call it off if D/P is there. I still see CoD > Galaxy being the easy result of that match.

But complaining about all three SSB games in the bracket? There were much worse problems than that. Like the assload of RPGs in the 1995-1997 division. Or having four Grand Theft Auto games.

Soul Calibur is one of the highest rated games of all time and was in the top 20 of last contest, there is no reason to not have brought it back.

Mortal Kombat II > Super Street Fighter II Turbo
Deus Ex > Panzer Dragoon Saga
Soul Calibur > Super Smash Bros.

Actually, I wanted it in the contest because having a contest called "Best. Game. Ever." without the only game that claim such a title for a fact would be a grave injustice regardless of whether this site is stupid enough not to vote for it.

Hey, don't blame me. I wanted it in Lufia II's place. It would have probably at least done respectable against Yoshi's Island and maybe even take third against Earthbound.

I was about to type something along the lines of 'man, GTAIII is sucking right now'.

Then it gained 19 votes on DII.

I wonder if we'll see 1st place within 5% of last place. That'd be a first.

I don't casual Melee users can tell the difference.

Not that it matters. Disgaea has a better chance at pulling off a crazy upset here, simply because Melee is FE's worst possible opponent.

I'm 2 for 2 right now, and it's not from luck, it's from skill. Using this skill, I shall predict something many people are not expecting for tomorrow's match.

Prediction number 3: Nothing interesting will happen tomorrow. SSBM > WW, like everyone predicted, and FE > Disgaea to finish this fourpack.

Boo to boring matches!
