SotC
vs The Sims is like Gordon Freeman vs Phoenix Wright. You know SotC is
going to win for certain, but you still want to pick the off-the-wall
option just because. --- Wylvane ctesjbuvf is a horrible user. |

TWEWY
vs. Dead Rising...I wouldn't bet on DR. After that, there's TWEWY vs.
Persona 4...most of us seem to think that TWEWY is stronger than Street
Fighter IV, which beat Persona 4 last contest, so...yeah. I actually
have Persona 4 > TWEWY in my bracket right now but I think I'm going
to change it... --- I have no idea how Metroid: Other M got any scores lower than 60%. |

where the hell did you guys get a TWEWY > Persona 4 comparison from --- ~Acting on Impulse~ |
Not_Wylvane | Posted 10/9/2010 9:23:46 PM | message detail |
I
think TWEWY will bomb. Cult handheld game? At least Dead Rising 2 just
had a sequel come out. The first is probably a bit obscure enough for
TWEWY to have a chance, but with 2 out, I don't know. I think Persona 4 would crush TWEWY easily, and I'd probably choose it over Dead Rising too. Still need to think about that one. --- Wylvane mas369 is a horrible user. |

Most
of us apparently (I say "apparently" because I wasn't here at the time)
hated how TWEWY was replaced by SFIV in the last games contest, leading
me to think that we were under the impression of TWEWY > SFIV. As
SFIV beat Persona 4, that would mean that TWEWY > Persona 4, right? Another thing to ask: if Dead Rising was even decently strong (meaning high fodder) how come it didn't make the bracket last time? Okay, for another comparison...how well should Dead Rising do against Phoenix Wright? --- I have no idea how Metroid: Other M got any scores lower than 60%. |
LeonhartFour | Posted 10/9/2010 9:38:16 PM | message detail |
No,
we were upset about it because Bacon basically bypassed his rule about
"Hey, people need to be pretty much overwhelmingly in favor of this for
it to happen" and stuck SFIV in there anyway. --- Support Seifer Almasy (Final Fantasy VIII) for Character Battle IX! http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/9342/banner3seifer.jpg |

I have no idea what to say then. I suppose Persona 4 > Dead Rising is the consensus for the finals of that fourpack. Again I just don't know. I see Dead Rising as the Mega Man creator's stab at creating a Resident Evil game (the main difference being the more comical depiction of zombies), and while Capcom itself is rather popular on this site the Mega Man games looked weak and I'm not about to bet on Dead Rising being stronger than them, especially what with the...hey wait a minute...yep, time to change to Persona 4 > Dead Rising. --- I have no idea how Metroid: Other M got any scores lower than 60%. |

TWEWY cult handheld...it's a square game made by nomura! Belt and Zippers factor! But seriously Dead Rising was an exclusive right? I reckon that kinda limits it with the growing size of the ps3 fanbase it prolly lacks voters from there. TWEWY was on the DS which everyone has and on an RPG oriented site like gamefaqs, it'll prolly have a decent fanbase. heck come to think of it,the more popular western games prolly all have RPG elements like Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Bioshock. --- Nyuu~ |
yoshifan823 | Posted 10/10/2010 4:43:50 AM | message detail |
It
has been what, 2 years since TWEWY came out? I haven't seen it on any
store shelves in over a year, and that's counting both new and used. I
get the feeling the game had a really small print run. Plus, Dead
Rising 2 just had a sequel come out, as well as the fastest/most (can't
remember which) selling Downloadable game of all time, and the sequel
is out for both PS3 and Xbox 360. TWEWY is gonna bomb so hard. --- Reg, you are so damn obnoxious, shut up |
paulg235 | Posted 10/10/2010 5:04:00 AM | message detail |
I
don't even know why we are even talking about TWEWY winning here. I had
it in my bracket when entrys first opened, but then I changed it simply
because I told myself after the last contest to never side with TWEWY.
If the game's main character easily loses to LAHARL, then I can easily
see Dead Rising taking this one. --- The Gamer In Me "Ike and Ash and co. saw a Yoshi and didn't catch it" - Mer telling us his dream |

From: paulg235 | #325 Characters=/=games, especially since there were other factors in that match perhaps. Laharl looked pretty good last time too, for some reason. Anyway, the reason TWEWY winning is possible is because it's a game with a very dedicated fanbase that did well in the GotY polls against a game that sold well but nobody really cares about. Basically this match is more liked vs. more played. Also if you want to bring the Character Battle into it, Sho Minamimoto did better in the vote-in polls that Frank West did. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |

And
Frank West at least looked on par with Neku. He may have even grown.
38% on Ama is waaay better than getting doubled by Ada Wong. --- *is Dranze* Dr. Football swept me. |

From: MarioSuperstar | #328 Yeah, because MGS4 was in the poll! You know, the single worst opponent for LBP? From: MarioSuperstar | #329 He definitely did not. He sucked horribly in the vote-ins for the last Character Battle, with the Dead Rising name attached. As I said, Minamimoto did better than he did, with a stronger poll to boot. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
paulg235 | Posted 10/10/2010 7:06:07 AM | message detail |
I
wouldn't take the vote-ins too seriously. With so many characters in
those polls, the smallest of dedicated fanbases can easily stand out. --- The Gamer In Me My bracket's busted, unlike our guru's, Dr_Football. |

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2626 Roughly 30.3% on Oblivion and 18.1% on a souped-up Gears of War isn't too shabby for Dead Rising. I realise it's only an 06 GOTY poll, but it does suggest the game has some fans. Recent sequel is enough to make me gamble on it over TWEWY. Also, in the "Which scheduled September release are you most looking forward to?" poll, Dead Rising 2 did nearly 3% better in Europe than across the world, which would appear to suggest a strong night vote. TWEWY/DR is a night match, while a possible DR/Persona 4 match would be a day match. --- Final Fantasy XIII review: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps3/review/R140434.html You're pretty good, Dr_Football. |
Lightning Strikes | Posted 10/10/2010 8:01:01 AM | message detail |
From: Kotetsu534 | #332 Not a horrible performance, but TWEWY did better in its poll. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3350 I'd definitely take Chrono Trigger over Oblivion, DS version or not, and it also had much stronger competition outside the top 3 games in the poll. There's no denying that TWEWY did better on its poll. I think the real question is how much the sequel will help Dead Rising. Also TWEWY is a Square RPG. The night should be its best time. Conversely, Dead Rising should do better in the day because it's more of a casual game. If it does beat TWEWY I'll take it over Persona 4 partially for that reason. But what I'm saying about this match is that it's all about raw popularity against reception. I think I'll change to Dead Rising though if the seque doesn't drop out of the site's top games fast. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |

Yeah, because MGS4 was in the poll! You know, the single worst opponent for LBP? The game really is just that weak. It's not that we haven't seen proof of this already. He definitely did not. He sucked horribly in the vote-ins for the last Character Battle, with the Dead Rising name attached. As I said, Minamimoto did better than he did, with a stronger poll to boot. Maybe in a vote-in which you shouldn't base any concrete result on. He actually placed higher than him in the actual contest in either 08/07 (can't remember). --- *is Dranze* Dr. Football swept me. |
MarioSuperstar | Posted 10/10/2010 8:14:16 AM | message detail |
I'd definitely take Chrono Trigger over Oblivion, DS version or not What? The DS version clearly is nothing like the console version. I'm pretty sure oblivion would do better than 5% in the final vote off. --- *is Dranze* Dr. Football swept me. |

The
fact that it was a GOTY poll probably killed it. Even I hesitated a
little bit to vote CT as GOTY for 2008. It still beat Crisis Core
though! --- Crono > Sephiroth. 7 years of waiting, and perhaps many more to go. Remain steadfast. |

The game really is just that weak. It's not that we haven't seen proof of this already. Too bad all the "proof" has LBP going up against MGS4.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3999 Series aren't necessarily equal to games but it should at least beat Ratchet and Clank, right? I'm not sure why people still think MGS4 somehow SFF'd a game it has no relation to genre wise. All anyone's ever said was because of PS3's small base, but it has certainly increased since then. If it has, then that doesn't make TWEWY look any better if it faced a weaker version of LBP. --- *is Dranze* Dr. Football swept me. |

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3999 Series aren't necessarily equal to games but it should at least beat Ratchet and Clank, right? The R&C series is quite extensive, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that I don't consider LBP to be a series quite yet. I'm not sure why people still think MGS4 somehow SFF'd a game it has no relation to genre wise. All anyone's ever said was because of PS3's small base, but it has certainly increased since then. If it has, then that doesn't make TWEWY look any better if it faced a weaker version of LBP. Like you said the PS3 at the time had a smallish base and back then one of the few reasons to actually buy it was to get MGS4. At the same time the base wasn't that small, it's like saying the Gamecube and Xbox had a small base, true when you compare it the PS2, but they did well for themselves. While it faced a weaker version of LBP we don't really know how strong it is now. --- BOP Topic: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/56645390 BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls |

Then again, platformers on Sony consoles have never done well for themselves any way. And it didn't just lose to Ratchet and Clank. It lost to other series it probably would have no business losing to if you think it's significantly stronger than that MGS4 match. --- *is Dranze* Dr. Football swept me. |

Well,
the original reason LBP was brought up was because it's the only game
TWEWY faced that was also in the last BGE. LBP shows potential (at
least in that year) to be pretty weak, and if that's the case, TWEWY
doesn't have many reasons to win. --- *is Dranze* Dr. Football swept me. |

And it isn't that hard to see that MGS4 being in the poll didn't help. As for TWEWY this is Dead Rising's match to lose, but I wouldn't be surprised if it lost. Frank West was pretty weak, but at the same time the game isn't really about the characters I would think. --- BOP Topic: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/56645390 BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls |
