Not over yet, but glad I went with MVC2. Figured this game would be pretty popular here.


i should have gone for it tbh. I knew NSMBWii would let me down. the ****.

This is beautiful. As someone who was here during the Mario screwjobs in 2002 and 2003, it's nice to see him finally choke a close match away.

SAM | 53.03 | 53.82 | +0.79
EUR | 41.52 | 41.93 | +0.41

Yeah this. Gamefaqs is just a bunch of Nintendo and SquareEnix dickriders. Sometimes I wonder why they even bother with these kind of polls when they know it's gonna come down to some Mario game (probably 64, or SMB3) Zelda (Ocarina of Time, or Link to the Past) or Final Fantasy VII. They should do a poll for a specific year when none of those games had a release. Gamefaqs would be in chaos.


Oh SRK. You so silly.

I've backed MVC2 > SF2 on this site for a while now. I realllly wanted to pick this upset but goddamn Mario argh

Mario Wii really is weak though. it got killed for GOTY in a weak year with zero Nintendo competition.

PW is a DS game though and most fans of that are more likely ot be nintendo fans. MvC has A LOT of marvel comic fans on it's side as well as HD console frat boys.

MvC2 is a dreamcast game, yet mario is choking here. It goes to show how incredibly weak the Wii is here. The problem is, I don't know if MKW is stronger or weaker than NSMBW. However, I've heard that PW has a strong night vote, yes?

I think you're missing the part where he goes on to name five games that he says will probably win and how we should do a contest without them... when none of those five games are even in this.

True enough. We've had like 13 contests. Number of winners that were NOT a part of one of the entities he mentioned (Mario, Zelda, FFVII)? One. And it took the entire internet to do it.

Also, I don't know about MvC2 being stronger than SFIV. Would anyone take MvC2 if it wasn't released via 360/PS3 DLC last year? Before that, it was just a super rare Dreamcast and PS2 game, and I'm not sure how much the DLC release could have boosted it.

Knowing that SRK may get involved in close matches though makes me think that SF4 does have a better chance next roudn that I originally thought, though. And if it beats Uncharted, Halo is easy to anti vote with rallies... so is it impossible for SF4 to make the division finals?

Heh, if it really has sold millions via DLC, then I guess it can boost quite a bit! Very much doubt that, though. I doubt even the best selling DLC games like Castle Crashers have sold several million.

What this contest makes you think that Fallout 3 is any less of a favorite than it was to begin with? Fallout 3 went and absolutely mauled Infamous, while Half Life 2 couldn't even get close to that on a total SFF match.

Thing is I doubt SFII would win over Halo (it'll be a close match IMO) so even if SFIV pulls off the miracle it'll be dead against Halo.

What is it gonna take to prove the Wii hate isn't the reason Wii games lose?

Maybe people hate the Wii cause, you know, they don't like those games in the first place?

What does that make them, then? At least the games we "dickride" are of different genres. They really think they're better than us when they represent a site devoted entirely to one company's fighting games?

If SFIV beats Uncharted, I'll have to give it a great shot against Halo. Street Fighter is old school and respected enough to actually take advantage of any Halo anti-voting.

SF4 is bigger right now than MVC2, but MVC2 was at a time when fighters really mattered. SF4 would rock MVC2 on SRK but amongst a larger audience? MVC2 wins.

*goes to srk.com* Hmmm...Mining Consultants are responsible for this MvC2 comeback, then? =P

I'm not so sure I'd take SFIV over MvC2. Marvel vs. Capcom just has a kind of widespread appeal that no other fighting game has (except Smash). I mean, it has MARVEL! +plus characters from various games. Well, SFIV probably would still win, though.... I suppose SA2 could perhaps beat NSMB Wii.

Maybe MvC2 is more popular than given credit for?

This was one of my gut picks when first filling out the bracket....then I changed it to NSMB Wii, never feeling confident. Had this been a night match there's a good chance I would've stuck with MvC2.

Of course, I had F-Zero GX and Psychonauts winning on my "gut" picks, but it was only because I had not heard of Batman: Arkham Asylum or Dragon Age due to being outside of VG circles for a couple years. =P Of those five matches I've missed so far, four of them I would have gotten right on my "gut" bracket (the one I missed regardless being Disgaea vs. VC).
