Wait people were picking DMC3 > Prime? Yeah. --- I have no idea how Metroid: Other M got any scores lower than 60%. |

By comparisan, Uncharted 2 gets 63% on Ninja Gaiden through LoD. Yeah, Halo 1 is probably waltzing straight through to the divisional finals. --- DFF |

Wait Sunshine was the board favorite? Yeah the board was being dumb on that one. Sure you could support SMS, but no way it should have been the favourite 2:1 --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls GotD Bracket: 4/6 Today's Matches: Halo 3 & Halo |

From: PartOfYourWorld | #094 Doesn't look so impressive when you factor this in! http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3479 Melee would struggle to beat SMB! --- Wylvane Epop_Salesman is a horrible user. |

In
all fairness, the Halo/Sunshine match did end with a close enough
percentage to warrant it being debated. The 2:1 split probably was
a result of people just wanting to ^5 each other at Chief's expense, as
much as I'd like to think that Ng and I were responsible for much of
it. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

This could just be Xbox SFF, though I don't exactly believe it considering that Hayabusa beat Master Chief last year. Seriously, how come Hayabusa is stronger than Chief, yet Chief's strongest game can SFF Hayabusa's strongest? Makes next to no sense. --- I have no idea how Metroid: Other M got any scores lower than 60%. |

I looooooooove Metroid Prime, but I loooooooooove DMC3 even more. It deserves that win. Has an 8/9 seed ever beaten a 1 in these? --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.· http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4099/4914979539_7515897526_b.jpg |

Seriously,
how come Hayabusa is stronger than Chief, yet Chief's strongest game
can SFF Hayabusa's strongest? Makes next to no sense. Well IMO you can like Halo without liking MC that much while it's harder to like NG without liking Hayabusa, plus Hayabusa looks cool. --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls GotD Bracket: 4/6 Today's Matches: Halo 3 & Halo |

To
be fair, it was a night vote, and Halo was never all that impressive.
SMS had never been in a competition, and it was safe to assume that
Mario would beat Master Chief. Obviously people hate SMS more than Halo
3. *Shrugs* |

No I don't think an 8/9 seed has upset a 1 seed before. I just dunno about this. It makes no sense for Halo to be able to SFF ANYTHING, let alone a game whose main character is more popular than Master Chief. So maybe Halo is at a high or something? --- I have no idea how Metroid: Other M got any scores lower than 60%. |

Score-Brackets-% Right 6--------4148------85.22 5--------10342----83.74 4--------10531----82.36 3--------4607------78.64 2--------1362------70.63 1--------255--------56.08 0--------69----------10.14 Another obvious match that Board 8 screwed up on. The perfects are starting to pull away from everyone else in prediction percentage. The 0s do really well only losing 7 people. 12 people fell off the Top 50. Former second place TIDQ, PikaMyUserName, tMyUseransience, shadeling_night, UncleSeaman, Japago, jsadighi, megaplayer742, Shibi69, WildcatFan08, __Curley__ and DdlyVnm did not have Halo 3 taking out Super Mario Sunshine. --- "Let me believe what you've always believed!

LinkMarioSamus | Posted 10/23/2010 9:17:34 AM | message detail |
Sunshine is probably the reason this site doesn't care about current-gen Mario. Though to be fair it's probably just more of how platformers were drowned out by other genres more than anything else, followed by the lack of a really amazing platformer after Super Mario 64 (or after Banjo-Kazooie?). This, of course, basically burns my faith in the LBP > GTAIII upset, especially considering how seeding advantage does not translate into bracket advantage nowadays apparently. Also if GBA Pokemon is able to defeat GTAIV (and I still believe that THAT upset is viable), it should be able to put up solid numbers against Galaxy and maybe even (gasp) defeat it. Boy I shudder at the thought of THREE Pokemon games in their respective divisional finals, though to be fair at least two of them deserve it (but man that's a weak fourpack from Pokemon Platinum). --- I have no idea how Metroid: Other M got any scores lower than 60%. |
LinkMarioSamus | Posted 10/23/2010 9:19:51 AM | message detail |
Yep
you're talking to someone who picked Kingdom Hearts > Vice City for
that match, thinking that Prime may be able to defeat Vice City without
another Nintendo entrant in the poll but unfortunately that wasn't the
time. --- I have no idea how Metroid: Other M got any scores lower than 60%. |

80%
on a match where the winner was held below 53%. But because the board
favorite had less than 20% of brackets bracking it then well...yeah. Casuals must be looking at this contest in quite a different light than we are. OMG STREET FIGHTER FOUR AND HALO THREE WERE SUCH DISAPPOINTMENTS!!! --- I have no idea how Metroid: Other M got any scores lower than 60%. |

I meant SFIV's and Halo 3's contest performances. So here's who I think the next division's first round winners will be: Metroid Prime Devil May Cry 3 Demon's Souls Okami Tales of Symphonia God of War Grand Theft Auto III Half-Life 2 I've heard plenty of debate on Demon's Souls, but otherwise these all look good, although my bracket has LBP advancing, which I have basically no faith in anymore. --- I have no idea how Metroid: Other M got any scores lower than 60%. |
