Wow
wtf, since when did the game / series that got doubled by FFTA and
managed to get last in a 4-way with Disgaea get this popular? I thought
this match was a coin flip. --- "I skate when I want to!" -Benjamin Franklin (http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=264) |

FE7/Tony
Hawk is probably going to be like a... 60/40 situation. It's kind of a
similar match set-up with the FE versus non-standard sport...
difference being Tony Hawk was a well-respected series for a while and
should be a fair bit stronger than No Mercy --- For your health. At least Kupo has class and doesn't MESSAGE the people -Dr Pizza |

From: MoogleKupo141 | #452 THPS2 was also a much more acclaimed game than WWF No Mercy --- ~Acting on Impulse~ |

Yeah, the major difference here is that people actually LIKE Tony Hawk. --- I like how each new topic you make reveals such varied facets of your idiocy. - foolmo Now this is entertainment! |

From: IngmarBirdman | #451 Wow wtf, since when did the game / series that got doubled by FFTA and managed to get last in a 4-way with Disgaea get this popular? I thought this match was a coin flip. FFTA is both a Final Fantasy and a SRPG, not the greatest opponent for FE7. The Disgaea/FE/Melee/WW match was quite possibly the worst possible matchup you could conceive for FE7, outside of something absurd like swapping WW for OoT and Disgaea for like FFT. I maintain that Melee is the single worst opponent for FE7, remember, Melee pretty much single-handedly got FE7 released in America. If that SFF wasn't enough, we had a Zelda game in the poll. If THAT wasn't enough, Disgaea was there to split what remaining SRPG votes were left. ...Anyway, after this match, does anyone take FE9 to be the strongest Fire Emblem game? OR did you already? I always felt FE9 would be stronger than FE7, but I think it was a minority opinion. This match change anything? --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (17/21) No Mercy v FE: PoR |

Well
THPS2 is one of the most critically acclaimed and influential games of
all time, and back in '04 Gamespy called it the 2nd most memorable game
of the past 5 years, only behind Soulcalibur.... Oh wait, this is GameFAQs, where sports games will never be worth a darn. Darn! Oh yeah I remember Gamespy's list...they had both Battlefield: 1942 and Codename: Eagle in the top 5, and GTAIII was the remaining top 5 position I haven't mentioned. Completely off topic and it's too late for me to mention it I suppose: I had a lot of fun in Metroid Prime trying to figure out how to minimize backtracking. Seriously. That's where a good chunk of my fun playing the game came from, probably moreso than any other game in that series. --- Why did I pick Brawl to win the contest? |
__Smurf__ | Posted 10/30/2010 9:48:39 AM | message detail |
Said
it before, saying it again now. FE losing this was one of the more
ridiculous picks people were hyping up. Just because a game is
established as pretty weak doesn't mean any random **** can come along
and beat it. We saw that already with Deus Ex, seeing it again now. I'd
always rely on the one that guaranteed to be pretty weak over the one
thats probably pretty weak though might be roflmao weak, which is very
much the case here with No Mercy putting up a strong case for weakest
game in the contest. --- Smurf , The cream of Sonic fanboyism. |

was such a fan favourite it even got its own direct sequel, I'm not
sure if thats a first for a FE game though I'm pretty sure FE7 never
did. I may be wrong. --- Smurf , The cream of Sonic fanboyism. |

From: UltimaterializerX | #459 7 is the strongest one. Why do you think that though? I know it was the first one and all (in America, at least), but if on one hand we can count being on a handheld as opposed to a console as a negative, why does FE7 seemingly get a pass from this? And as much as I hate to resort to this kind of thing, Ike was in Brawl, so if that counts for anything, it should help FE9. I mean, I wouldn't be shocked if FE7 was stronger than FE9, but I guess I've always just been puzzled why it seemed like this was taken for granted. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?

FE7 is itself a sequel to FE6, but FE6 was never released in America. Also, I think FE3 is a sequel to FE1, and maybe even FE5 to FE4. Out of the ones released in America though, yeah, FE9 -> FE10 is the only pair released here. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?

was such a fan favourite it even got its own direct sequel, I'm not
sure if thats a first for a FE game though I'm pretty sure FE7 never
did. I may be wrong. I think it's actually extremely common. FE and FE2 I believe are both Marth games, FE7 is the prequel to FE6... and then we have FE9 and 10.

I
just think games that first introduce people to a new universe have a
series advantage in a contest like this. It's why I picked Melee >
Brawl, KH1 > 2 and fear my MGS4 > 3 pick is wrong. God of War 1
probably beats 2 as well. Path of Radiance is the best game in this
bracket and I wouldn't want it to lose to 7, but it probably would. --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.· http://i.imgur.com/CbfFb.jpg |

Lightning Strikes | Posted 10/30/2010 9:58:41 AM | message detail |
9
and 7 are universally considered the top 2 Fire Emblem games amongst
the fanbase and the order of those two changes depending on the person.
FE7 has the advantage of coming first, and FE9 has the advantage of
being probably the last great game discounting Twilight Princess on the
Gamecube. Plus I think it was more popular outside of Japan, maybe. I'd say they're about equal, not sure what I'd pick between the two. Definitely about the same though. TH2 is also probably a lot stronger than No Mercy, but not enough so. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |

PoR
and FE have pretty much the same sales, acclaim, and love among the
fanbase. In that sort of case, I think I'm just going to side with the
console game over the handheld. --- DFF |

I'm
not convinced No Mercy will be the weakest game in the contest. Mother
3 is gonna look terrible when Fallout 3 goes 75%+ on DMC3. Though DPP
probably goes 58% on FE. --- "I skate when I want to!" -Benjamin Franklin (http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=264) |

I
think it's actually extremely common. FE and FE2 I believe are both
Marth games, FE7 is the prequel to FE6... and then we have FE9 and 10.
For all I know, 3/4/5 might be connected to each other in some way as
well, I know nothing abou tthem. FE3 has two parts. The first is a remake of FE1 and the second is a sequel to FE1. FE4 and FE5 are connected to each other but are unrelated to to the other Fire Emblem games storywise. FE5 takes place in the middle of FE4. --- "Let me believe what you've always believed!

From: Biolizard28 | #473 Never said i was representing everyone. And i haven't played any of those because i have a huge backlog of games i own but haven't played. Disgaea is among them. I will probably download MM9 eventually. Demon's Souls is probably going to be the first game i buy when i finally get around to buying a ps3 (assuming i don't win one this contest *fingers crossed*). VC... is very low on my list of games to play. --- "Dr_Football runs alongside balefire watching marshmallows stop existing" |

It's why I picked Melee > Brawl, KH1 > 2 and fear my MGS4 > 3 pick is wrong. God of War 1 probably beats 2 as well. Path of Radiance is the best game in this bracket and I wouldn't want it to lose to 7, but it probably would. Fair enough. If they were both GCN games, I might be more inclined to go with that, but as it is, I'll take GCN > GBA as a bigger factor. Plus, I'm a little uncomfortable with making a broad statement that an earlier game will tend to have an advantage. However, I could totally see being wrong on that, we'll just have to see. I admit that some of my support for FE9 > FE7 is likely because I like it more than FE7 (though I love FE7 too) but I really do think it has the edge. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?
