Niko is definitely weaker from last year. GTAIV has gotten more and more disliked as time goes on.

Yeah but who knows where CJ is anymore. He couldn't even make it a second time. At least Niko somehow found his way back and is much more recent.

Plus lol black characters on GameFAQs.

BUT GTA4S REVIEWS WERE SO GOOD


Nah, but seriously, this is a curb-stomping. Jill's doing to Niko what Charizard did to Duke, and Jill isn't known for having any crazy Power Hour. This is probably Niko dropping with Jill gaining thanks to RE5...maybe that game's not such a flop here afterall, even if it was a flop in the GotY-polls.

Well I won't try to debate that, but in general among GTA fans (and I am one), San Andreas is remembered the most fondly of the PS2 titles.

actually it turned out to be the strongest GTA if you trust x-stats >_>. and it did finish 5th in the Game of the Century poll. I'd like to see CJ back just to see where he is these days.
Not_Wylvane | Posted 2/1/2010 9:15:17 AM | message detail
Seriously, Niko would crush CJ. People may like SA more than GTA4, but games =/= characters. CJ sucked much harder than Niko did even when SA was GotY here.

Niko vs Vercetti would be much better as a debatable match.

Niko and CJ would have been stronger pre-2005. GTA fell off the map here once we hit the site shift.

I think out of all the Nintendo characters, it seems like Samus has one of the worst night votes around. Remember that she got under 70% in Europe and almost lost in Asia, with the Prince barely beating her in the Philippines. Her best performance was in North America, where did over 4% better there than what the final result was.

I figured she would bomb hard at night, after how Super Metroid lost the Europe vote to Super Mario Kart twice.

I never jumped off the Ryu > Dante bandwagon. I always thought that "Hey, maybe Ken just sucks. Ryu is the only fighting game character worth a damn in these contests." Also, I had hoped a RE5 boost was legit; I mean, I became a fan of Wesker off of RE5 alone. Now that we see how badass Jill is doing and blowing away everyone's expectations, I think an RE5 boost definitely exists, and Ken was just awesome enough to surpass it(thanks to SF4 boost!).

Ryu > Dante 4 life!

Today's match just means that, instead of dropping, Ryu may still be the same he was last year. Which means he still gets wrecked by Dante!

That would definitely explain it. It's also why Guybrush and his games do so well with the Europe vote, because they were published by LucasArts, which is also located in Europe.
