Anecdotal evidence is bad, and a lot of this debate is conjecture based on that. Really nothing can be said on Brawl vs Melee that has any merit. This choice just have to be on your gut, and you can't really blame or condemn either side if you're a reasonable person.

Conformity and rebellion...both ways are simple-minded--they are only for people who cannot cope with contradiction and ambiguity.

The only people I've ever seen hate on Brawl, or prefer Melee, are on Board 8 or play tourney Smash. I've got 5 real-life friends making brackets, and they all picked Brawl, and were dumbfounded that Melee was the favourite here.

First off, congratulations on having 'real-life' friends. But really now, they old, " Well my friend said.."argument? Hahaha

Well, one side is wrong and one side is right. My side is the latter, anyone who says differently is both wrong and bad.

I've played competitive smash and it's pretty centered around Brawl.

I mean, everyone loves Melee, and there are those that prefer it, but in the end Brawl is the main thing people play.

I've been playing Melee with local friends since it came out (since I've been playing the original before it), but it wasn't until Brawl that I got into the competitive crowd.
While since then I've learned to play the other two games the same way, Brawl is what got me and lots of people into that crowd, and it's the main choice of play.

So, I'm curious: what are you guys expecting from God of War? I think it's a really interesting wild-card: it could lose in Round One to Left 4 Dead, or it could make it as far as the Quarterfinals, winning its weak division Scorpion-style.

I currently have it losing to Half-Life 2 in my bracket; though I can't lie, GoW > HL2 has been tempting me since day one. I doubt I'll go for it in the end, though.

Justin_Crossing | Posted 10/17/2010 8:44:12 PM | message detail
I honestly am like 55-45 on HL2 > GoW. I definitely have HL2 losing to Metroid Prime but yeah I think it won't do poorly on HL2.

TheCodeisBosco | Posted 10/17/2010 8:53:05 PM | message detail
My honest opinion: if God of War gets past Half-Life 2, it'll get past Metroid Prime as well. Kind of sucks to admit it - I love Metroid Prime, and I'm still tempted to take it far out of pure fanboyism. But looking at it objectively, I don't think I could honestly take MP over GoW, especially since GoW2 did so well in the vote-ins.

It just doesn't feel right to me to pick GoW over MP. Feel the same way about HL2.

If ToS can get past RE5 and GoW, I think it has a great shot to make the QFs.

Then again, I have no faith in HL2.

LOL at the last poll option winning this poll. That poll option likely is receiving the support from the casuals who don't know much about the contests (in comparison to the stats topic people).

This poll is dumb. Mario Kart Wii is beating Phoenix Wright, 12 > 5. That's the biggest seeding upset, but it's also ridiulously obvious.

Well, that too. I ended up voting for the 12 > 5 option, because I knew of at least one possible 12 > 5 upset. I didn't feel like looking back at the bracket for this poll.

Also, 576 votes at the board vote. That's terrible for a regular poll, but I'll blame on the fact that this poll requires voters to look at the bracket (if they don't know what to pick).

I just chickened out on my Batman > Fallout pick.

The last time I chickened out on a pick like this, Vincent won the Devil Division. Let's hope that doesn't happen again.

HL2 > Prime

...I think.


I think so too... for now, anyway!

I have God of War going down to ToS myself.

ToS had extremely fortunate bracket placement... and it still only beat God of War by less than 300 votes. One-on-one, I highly doubt ToS has a shot, but that's just me.
