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 --- "Of course I'm going to rig the contest in my favor." - SBAllen |

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. |

TheCodeisBosco | Posted 10/17/2010 8:41:35 PM | message detail |
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. --- Watch Fox's RUNNING WILDE, airing Tuesdays at 9:30 EST! Will Arnett and Keri Russell in the same show - how can you top that?!? |
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. --- ~Acting on Impulse~ |
Dilated Chemist | Posted 10/17/2010 8:44:41 PM | message detail |
I have GoW beating Half-Life 2 and losing to MP, but I have no confidence at all in that happening. =\ --- GT: TriggerTRE PSN ID: SolidTRE I use my mind, not a pick-up line. |

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. --- Watch Fox's RUNNING WILDE, airing Tuesdays at 9:30 EST! Will Arnett and Keri Russell in the same show - how can you top that?!? |

I don't think it's gettin past ToS |

HL2 > Prime --- ...I think. |
Dilated Chemist | Posted 10/17/2010 8:58:14 PM | message detail |
It just doesn't feel right to me to pick GoW over MP. Feel the same way about HL2. --- GT: TriggerTRE PSN ID: SolidTRE I use my mind, not a pick-up line. |

I have God of War going down to ToS myself. Don't think GTA:SA hurt it that much. --- Wylvane RayDyn is a horrible user. |
Dilated Chemist | Posted 10/17/2010 8:59:36 PM | message detail |
And if I thought GoW could beat MP I'd pick DMC3 to take it out first. --- GT: TriggerTRE PSN ID: SolidTRE I use my mind, not a pick-up line. |
Dilated Chemist | Posted 10/17/2010 9:01:36 PM | message detail |
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. --- GT: TriggerTRE PSN ID: SolidTRE I use my mind, not a pick-up line. |

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). --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |

poll is dumb. Mario Kart Wii is beating Phoenix Wright, 12 > 5.

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. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |

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). --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |

And yeah, should've had a "Which #2 seed do you think has the best chance of winning?" instead. This poll is dumb unless you've memorized the bracket. --- Wylvane Ikon is a horrible user. |

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. --- Watch Fox's RUNNING WILDE, airing Tuesdays at 9:30 EST! Will Arnett and Keri Russell in the same show - how can you top that?!? |
