I'd say the people who argued for SF4 to be in 2nd deserve more lulz at this point then the P4 people.

They should, but they weren't the ones that were defending it for an entire day.

Does it matter? Even if P4 ends up in last, which is likely, SFIV is looking god awful.

I'm not sure why people hold out for an hour after SF4 gets a 27 vote cut.

Not happening, guys.

http://thengamer.com/guru/stats.php?match=29

Four people picked P4 to advance, and none of them frequent this topic.

Let's see who picked SFIV...why hello, Lopen, HM. How's that working out for you? You ready to admit your pick was horrible and you were stupid for choosing it?


It works both ways. Let's not act high and mighty over people who were arguing for fun over a slim possibility.

After SFII was anyone really expecting SFIV to be much of anything? I mean, I took it for second here, but it was less because of its strength and more because GTA had sucked up until this point. SFIV was never gonna be a strong game.

People need to stop with the P4 gloating. Every person who argued for it knew the chances of it advancing were very slim.

It's more than can be said for the decent amount of people who picked Street Fighter IV.


Once again, WHY ARGUE FOR SOMETHING IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT.

Stop trying to play devil's advocate and only argue for things you actually believe in.

If you pick your battles it makes you look like less of a tool than if you take every upset under the sun because it satisfies your "taste".

I say "taste" because you don't actually have your own taste, you just go with what's popular with the weeaboo crowd.

Yeah, I took SF4 pre-contest in what I thought would be a close match with GTA4, but I promptly hopped off that one after seeing SF2 absolutely job.

There's arguing and there's being delusional.

If this topic required every argument to be made with 100% confidence and using nothing but cold, hard, logic, it would be exponentially less fun than it is.

If Persona supporters had lashed out at people, you might have a case, but they just...argued. For one night. Apparently people in the stats topic hate thinking about anything with a slim possibility of happening.

Anything I've ever argued for had solid logic behind it, or had nothing to say otherwise. We KNOW Persona is garbage and KP himself admitted it several times.

There wasn't a single argument for SFIV that actually made sense after SFII.

Not one. Don't delude yourself. At least P4 supporters knew that their arguments rested on extremely thin ice.

If you're going to argue for some really stupid upset, own up to it when it goes horribly wrong. Otherwise don't bother arguing for it.
