I would also like to remind people that Lucario lost hours to Guybrush Threepwood.

The best possible result for this match would be Persona 4 and SFIV tieing for third place. It has a good chance at beating the 3 vote difference set by Liquid Snake/Alucard in a 4-way format.

The best possible result for this match is Brawl, GTA4 and SF4 getting disqualified for cheating.

The best possible result is that the majority of the Persona voters are waiting to vote during an overlooked critical voting block - the Dark Hour, catapulting it over Brawl.

Oh wait, wrong Persona game.
Oh wait, technology stops working during it, so no one would be able to vote.

Looks like Persona 4 is losing the SNV to SFIV. Though I find it amusing that SFIV won the ASV over Persona 4.

Round 1 - Division 8: Match 2

Call of Duty 4


Wait..... a Call of Duty game that DOESN'T involve World War 2?

Pokemon Diamond/Pearl

Goddamn it with the Pokecrap

Super Mario Galaxy

Now presenting the biggest piece of overrated tripe in the bracket!

Team Fortress 2

lol fodder

Analysis:

I'll try to keep this short since I've already made my arguments.

First of all, Pokemon won't be advancing here. I'd take CoD4 straight up and with Galaxy there's no question.

That said, let's look at my 2 pronged logic attack. Prong #1: Galaxy is not that strong. Some people have it in their minds that this, a 3-D Mario title without the numbers 6 and 4 in it, is the strongest Wii game. I still have no idea where this is coming from, but I'll bite. The main argument for this seems to be the 2007 and 2008 GotY finals

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2994

VS

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3364
http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3365

For starters, the 2007 poll took place weeks after Galaxy was released, and at the height of Nintendo love on this site. Several great games had just come out on the Wii, an Brawl was on the horizon. The Wii had a future during those polls. That was probably the strongest we will ever see Mario Galaxy. Besides that, you'd be a fool to think that CoD4 wasn't being hurt BADLY by Halo 3, which suddenly puts CoD4 dangerously close to Galaxy at Galaxy's peak popularity. Since Brawl came out, and people realized the only games the Wii was getting was garbage like Wii **** and Wii Poosic, people abandoned that sinking ship very quickly, explaining Brawl's seemingly lackluster match (also barring the fact that it came out in the spring while the other 2 games were still very new, but I digress).

The other prong, is that Call of Duty 4, unlike most other popular FPS series, is actually enjoyed and welcomed by the so-called "hardcore" crowd. The fact that it stepped away from World War 2 and offered great multiplayer and awesome gameplay improvements meant that you had a game that was loved by both the casuals and the hardcores. Like Halo meets Half-Life. If I had to guess, I'd say it is probably the strongest game in the genre (Goldeneye be damned!) in the bracket and for good reason.

So with Pokemon impressing, the SFF in this match should turn a once seemingly guarenteed Galaxy win into what should be an interesting match and a ticket for CoD4 to get out of this division.

TuRtLe's Prediction: Call of Duty 4 33%, Mario Galaxy 30%, Pokemon D/P (lol dp) 24%, Team Fortress 2 13%
TuRtLe's Bracket: CoD > SMG
TuRtLe's Vote: CoD4

Tied for 3rd is not 4th so you would technically win.

To be fair, Pokemon does have a incredibly strong board vote. DP could come flying out in first and still not place.

BTW Super Mario Galaxy has a pic advantage too. I mean, it's Mario vs. a generic soldier. Who've you got? Not to mention that Mario featuring prominently in the picture has done wonders for every Mario game in the competition.

The ownership stats for Galaxy are pretty terrible. Its board is absolutely dead compared to the boards of D/P and CoD4. Its going to need loyalty from people who loved the game and a whole lotta "I heard that game was good but I never bought it" votes to do well here.

No one cares enough about Persona 4 beating SF4 for third to rally for it.

I'm not sure what to make of tonight's match- again, I wish there was a way to predict all of these games to disappoint, but they can't do that as they're up against each other.

Oh wow, real close meaningless match for 3rd today.

I hope CoD4 can hold off Pokemon. It might be close. CoD4 should do mid-20's, but Pokemon has a wide range, especially with Galaxy there.
