From: LeonhartFour | #302 I'd probably take that pick too. VJ's plenty capable of losing, in any case. --- Nominate Epona the very first chance you get! http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg |

Leon's
the biggest R&C fanboy on the board and multiple times has admitted
he's happy to lose a point (and even happier if everyone else loses one
instead!) on picking R&C over Golden Sun. --- James - Board 8's Resident Warm And Safe, Slipper-Wearing User & The Cream of Porcupine Tree Fanboyism |

From: Eeeevil Overlord | #305 But he's going to lose three points by doing that! --- 2010 Game of the Decade Contest - 26/32 points - Today: Final Fantasy X / Borderlands http://backloggery.com/articuno2001/sig.gif |
KamikazePotato | Posted 11/5/2010 11:32:58 AM | message detail |
I'm
not even talking about winning or losing. Based on everything we've
seen, Golden Sun seems like it should just plain blow out UYA. I think
it could (and should) easily clear 60% - if it doesn't, I'll be pretty
disappointed! --- DFF |
Eeeevil Overlord | Posted 11/5/2010 11:33:00 AM | message detail |
I
think VJ would beat Vesperia with help of the joke vote. I'm pretty
sure one of the reasons FF didn't break 80% (not the only reason, but
certainly an important one) is because of the pic dissonance between
FFX (one of the more disliked FF leads in history) and Viewtiful Joe
(...Viewtiful Joe). You can't look at that guy and not want to vote him
over some random generic JRPG people. --- James - Board 8's Resident Warm And Safe, Slipper-Wearing User & The Cream of Porcupine Tree Fanboyism |

Borderlands
is up by more than 2000 votes, this would be an historic Starcraftian
poll if Vesperia made a comeback (ie it's not happening, Borderlands
has already won). --- 79/80 Spring Contest 2005 |

For
some wierd reason I say "Nooo!" seeing Vesperia losing... even though I
have Borderlands winning in my bracket... this has never happened to me
before. Maybe it is because I was pretty sure Vesperia was going to win
this in my battle challenge but I banked last minute? --- "I remember a time when someone called World of Warcraft 'World of WoW'" |

From: PartOfYourWorld | #318 Probably because the only debatable one is Persona 3/Civ IV, and that's a big "Who cares." --- Support Morrigan Aensland (Darkstalkers) for Character Battle IX! http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/9302/banner5morrigan2.jpg |
red sox 777 | Posted 11/5/2010 4:02:03 PM | message detail |
This
whole contest is feeling like "who cares" to me. It must be the lack of
Chrono Trigger. No amount of statistical manipulation will allow me to
I argue why these results make CT look better. I guess the other thing is that usually, a game/character in my top 5 wins the contest (hooray for being a Link and Cloud fan), and none of the contenders for this one are even close. Even Melee.....I don't actually like Melee all that much- I'd be happier about Brawl losing the contest than Melee winning the contest. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

People in this topic should try to play more next gen and western games. Maybe you'll be more interested in this contest then! --- Epona > any Western character in CB9! http://i.neoseeker.com/ca/fallout_new_vegas_conceptart_7XvFK.jpg |
ZFS | Posted 11/5/2010 4:05:04 PM | message detail |
Civ IV the best game ever. Minus stuff like Kingdom Hearts, and the inevitable conclusion, this is probably one of the better contests in a long time. Beats the last game contest, for sure. --- A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. |

tbh Brawl/Melee is all i care about. Its' why the contest was MADE. Anywya *goes back to playing Borderlands --- http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l271/Mithos_2006/SpringFR.png |

What
was wrong with the last games contest, besides 4-ways and generational
divisions anyway? I had a lot of fun with it, probably more than any
contest since 2005. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |
KamikazePotato | Posted 11/5/2010 4:09:14 PM | message detail |
I've
played more games in this contest than the last contest. Getting rid of
the NES and SNES era was the best thing we could have done! --- DFF |
FFI3_Lightning | Posted 11/5/2010 4:10:50 PM | message detail |
Because
it was rubbish. Who came up with the generation division anyway? i
reckon it would have been FAR more interesting to mix it up. Well at
least OoT got revenge on FFVII..which was pleasing. --- http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l271/Mithos_2006/SpringFR.png |
LeonhartFour | Posted 11/5/2010 4:11:28 PM | message detail |
From: red sox 777 | #325 That was more than enough to keep it from being a great contest.

FFI3_Lightning | Posted 11/5/2010 4:12:45 PM | message detail |
From: KamikazePotato | #326 the N64/PS1 era is the strongest or at least has the strongest games if you include Pokemon GB games. so no getting rid of SNEs/NEs wouldn't be good. I would love to see NES games up against modern games. --- http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l271/Mithos_2006/SpringFR.png |
red sox 777 | Posted 11/5/2010 4:12:53 PM | message detail |
To
be honest, I don't think I hate 4-ways so so much anymore. It's a nice
way of handling fodder- you never have to have matches with nothing but
fodder in them. And there were a ton of things wrong with the bracket design of the last games contest, but there was so much potential with our first games contest in 5 years that it still managed to be an above average contest anyway. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |
HaRRicH | Posted 11/5/2010 4:14:17 PM | message detail |
I
just counted fifty-eight games from this bracket that I've played at
least ten minutes of before. That's a lot more than I realized, and
I've barely kept up with gaming this generation since I don't own any
current system...heck, I just got a PS2 this year. Still been enjoying the hell out of this contest. --- Epona: your #1 trusty steed. http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg |
LeonhartFour | Posted 11/5/2010 4:14:19 PM | message detail |
From: red sox 777 | #330 I don't really care how you handle fodder, but 4-ways end up ruining so many potentially good matches because they're full of a crapload of LFF, especially Games Contests where Square and Nintendo fill the upper echelon. When we walked away from the last Games Contest, pretty much the only thing we knew was OoT > FFVII. --- http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/2369/mythbattlers.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png |
red sox 777 | Posted 11/5/2010 4:18:23 PM | message detail |
I'd
say the biggest problem with 4-ways is games getting eliminated before
they deserve to be due to LFF, but the thing is it didn't really happen
much with that contest: Of the top 10, I'd say only RBY has a case that
it was robbed of a placement it deserved based on its strength. OOT and
FFVII also legitimized that contest in a large way by not succumbing to
bandwagoning, and then facing off in a 1v1 at the end. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |
LeonhartFour | Posted 11/5/2010 4:21:35 PM | message detail |
From: red sox 777 | #333 No, there wasn't a lot of things being eliminated before they should have been, but you still ended up with matches that could've been a lot better than they were if not for all that LFF. --- http://i.imgur.com/CbfFb.jpg |

Haven't we suggested 1st round 4 ways with all rounds after being 1 vs 1 before? --- Uguu~ |
Not_Wylvane | Posted 11/5/2010 4:25:44 PM | message detail |
Generational
divides suck. I'm really curious to see how older games like SMB3 and
SMW would fare against a lot of these games. Stick one of those two in,
and I'd bet it'd easily be the fourth or fifth-strongest game in the
bracket, depending on whether you'd take GSC over them (I probably
wouldn't). I'd also like to see LttP vs Melee. I think LttP still has a strong case to be the #3 game on this site, and it'd be great to see it beat or at least challenge the crap out of Melee. --- Wylvane maplejet is a horrible user. |
Not_Wylvane | Posted 11/5/2010 4:28:49 PM | message detail |
From: voltch | #335 Pretty sure that's been covered several times. It'd still be kinda dull, even between taking the first winner (inevitable second-place snubs) or taking the top two (incredibly boring second round). This really is the best solution, as it keeps 1v1 but also helps speed through the boring matches. Imagine having to wait 24 hours for each match in this next run of matches! --- Wylvane shadosneko is a horrible user. |

This
contest has been great, as was the last one. I think nearly winning the
contest helped my love for these things get rejuvenated. At first I was
a little iffy, but now I'm really into it, and I honestly can't wait
for the next character battle. --- http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae229/yungflyerz/67106910.jpg |
Billy Blaze | Posted 11/5/2010 4:38:59 PM | message detail |
Yea,
most of these coming up are pretty boring. R&C is fun, but it's not
beating GS. Dead Space doesn't stand a chance against GTASA. DMC had a
chance before the contest, but DMC3's piss poor performance on Mother 3
makes me doubt it gravely. Tony Hawk 2 was really popular, but can it
get over the "gamefaqs hates sports games?" Not against an established
jRPG series it can't! Now before the contest, I had no doubt in my mind that CIV would crush whatever that Persona thing is. But for some reason the M3 result bothers me. If some niche, never released in the US jRPG can avoid a doubling from DMC3, Persona should do better, right? So more people should talk about CIV, really. --- Redtooth |

I know about Dead Space is that one of the characters did really badly

it made the bracket. --- http://i.imgur.com/CbfFb.jpg |

Which is unfortunate because Dead Space is an exceptional game/experience. Seriously, scariest game I've ever played, and I'm not easily scared. Good stuff. --- http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae229/yungflyerz/67106910.jpg |
