This isn't really all that impressive. I mean, look at this list of games. I want to see Uncharted compared to games from other consoles.

So, I'm liking Drake against Boss

How does everyone else feel about that now?


He's looking good, but I'd wait until the final poll.

Ah, vote 377 was vote #4 for Comet Crash.

Samus/Sam Fisher eat your heart out, that was awesome.

And this is a weak field. Uncharted 2's doing what it's supposed to, no surprises here. Not feeling any differently about Boss/Drake.

Uncharted 2 dominating. How tempted should I be to put Nathan Drake over the Boss?

I'll maybe wait until the GotY poll comes up to see if Uncharted 2 can finish in the top 3 there.

Not that much, but I'd pick her over Niko even without MGS4.

And I'd imagine even with Uncharted 2 Niko would still get 60% or so on Drake.

So it's OK to use Uncharted 2's success here to justify Drake > The Boss, but not OK for Ninja Gaiden's 2 weak performance to justify Ryu H disappointing against Master Chief?

Are games = characters or not?

And Duke Nukem and Marth are low midcarders. We've seen nothing to say Boss is above the fodder line.

Also, the sad thing about that is that I was looking for how DMC has performed in GotY polls.

The Boss is high fodder. I don't think where Niko stands has much relevance to Drake. Vercetti is the only character from GTA with any strength, and VC is the strongest GTA game.

And for the record, I don't think NG2's performance here has any bearing whatsoever on how Ryu H does in the contest. He should be as strong as ever.

I'm more pointing out how everyone is predicting a huge Drake boost to propel him from losing to CATS to beating The Boss, just because of his second game. Games =/= characters, Uncharted 1 was similarly strong here, blah blah blah. Uncharted 2 has critical acclaim, but that only does so much, unless you'd pick Tim or Wander over The Boss as well.

Why? Just to make The Boss look less impressive? There's no reason to think Niko would blow out The Boss or anything. Beating Tails, at the very least, is just as good as barely beating Kefka.

Well The Boss beating Tails is one of the reason why I have her winning against Nathan, plus any MGS4 boost. Still take Niko to beat all of them.

He got like 14% in a match against such juggarnauts like Donkey Kong and Tidus.

WCC/Tidus/Donkey Kong/Tails will always be one of my favorite matches. I knew WCC would win considering how much the other characters have choked and embarrassed themselves in the past. It was the perfect way to introduce the Cube.

Well, The Boss avoided the doubling against Zelda (albeit barely) and got tripled against Tifa.

Not sure what that comes out to.

*looks at the 2006 stats*

Oh right, Tifa/Samus ruins The Boss's value for that year. Samus/Zelda is wonky, too.

Well, she got 29% against Vincent in 2007. Looking at the 2006 stats, that's worth...

Around Phoenix Wright.

Hmmm.

Well, I ain't takin' Kefka to beat Arthas, so no worries there!

Going back to the GOTY poll, Uncharted 2's impressiveness depends on the number of votes this poll gets. If it doesn't get a lot of votes, then I won't worry about it.

And the actual GOTY is really where we'll see what it's worth.

Wait, why are we gleaning ANYTHING from the GOTY polls?

...It worked so well for the Games Contest, I guess.
