CC's
biggest flaw isn't even the fact it wasn't CT. Look at
FF7>FF8>FF9 progression. All different battle systems yet they
actually worked. CC is like Parasite Eve 2, it just wanted to be
different for the sake of being different and didn't think to actually
make the game playable. --- lol opinions |

MGS4
beating Majora's Mask/GSC in a day match would be more impressive than
anything the series has done in any contest other than maybe Snake's
2006, and even then that was marred by Snake/Samus. It's in the same
position Brawl is in vs. Melee. It's drawing a bunch of favorable time
matches, so if it's not outdoing MM/GSC it's dead. Then again, I think
Assassin's Creed has legit strength so I'm not as down on MGS4 as
others are. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png "SEXTON HILLBEAST" - TimJab |

Chrono
Cross breaks 60%. What's next? Chrono Cross beating Majora's Mask
55/45? This match was supposed to be the most difficult match to
predict since TWEWY/DR. --- "I remember a time when someone called World of Warcraft 'World of WoW'" |

This match was supposed to be the most difficult match to predict since TWEWY/DR. No it wasn't. This match was obvious from the start that a few people hyped because they forgot that Dragon Quest isn't even a top 10 RPG series on GameFAQs. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png "SEXTON HILLBEAST" - TimJab |

I thought Chrono Cross had one of the better battle systems. Not as good as CT's though. From: TRE Public Account | #346 Yeah, while MGS4's performance against AC wasn't good, it definitely still has a shot against a game we haven't even seen yet. Not sure if we can even read too much from GSC's match, because by all rights it should slaughter Advance Wars, which will not only be weak but is also a portable. I would probably pick GSC over MGS4 right now due largely to the day match factor, but I think it's far from a lock. From: WarThaNemesis2 | #353 Majora's Mask? I don't see MM beating MGS4. If MM even makes it, it will probably be more due to GSC flopping than MM being super strong. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

pretty close, so.....well, I'll be very happy if CC ever takes a lead. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

If GSC underperforms in R1 it would be a superficial one. While MGS4 had trouble against AC1. It depends how badly GSC underperforms. 49.99% would be a complete and total failure. 90+% would look amazing. Somewhere in between is the border between good and bad. Considering the potential for SFF, I'd say it's actually impossible for GSC to overperform. A 90+% kill would be attributed to SFF and AW being weak although if it gets that high maybe not all of it can be. Rounds 1 and 2 are pretty meaningless imo. I think the Majora/GSC R3 match decides who hits the semis. I doubt Wind Waker will have much luck stopping either; likewise with MGS in a day match. Judging a Pokemon entry based on it's round 3 performance? Isn't the least impressive Round 3 performance by a Pokemon entry Missingno. failing to take out Sephiroth? The other choice is Charizard only breaking 60% on L-Block. I know there were good reasons behind Pokemon always looking good in Round 3 (Sprite round, 3-way LFF/SFF, anti-L-Block rally, etc.) but I wonder if something will happen this time as well. --- Dr_Football punted my bracket across the field.

What a disastrous result... pah! At least it allows me to make FFX look like a beast with some dodgy x-stating. CC gets 62% on DQVIII. DQVIII, through God of War in the '05 GOTY polls, is projected to get 23% on Resident Evil 4. CC is projected to get 28% on Resident Evil 4. FFX got 77% on Chrono Cross in the GOTD poll. FFX is projected to get 59% on Resident Evil 4! --- I predict and analyse the Game of the Decade contest here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/56817040 |

Is the Wii really flopping? Didn't Brawl and Twilight Princess kick ass, while Galaxy did ok? I'm inclined to believe it comes down to games that people think are bad that are flopping rather than "THE WII EFFECT". I mean, back in Gamecube days, most people listed it as the weakest console of the generation and a "kiddy console", but that didn't hurt Melee's strength. --- Alec not at home |

of morrowind.. You've never met a fan of the original Fallouts have you? I'd say the hate for Fallout 3 is far more significant from then than the Morrowind fanbase, since it was a different company that made the game and completely changed the game from a strategic turn based game that was linear to a first person shooter game that focused on sandbox gameplay. --- Epona > Any Western Character http://img1.immage.de/14117bfbec113942.gif |

total toss up, I'm surprised more people aren't giving Oblivion a
chance in that match. Sure the match looks close on paper, but this is one of those matches where common sense kicks in. Show me proof that WW > MM? It's more loved among Zelda fans. I know it isn't true proof, but I have yet to meet a group of Zelda fans on GameFAQs outside of this topic that ranks MM above WW.

The amount of gamers whose first or second generation of consoles is this current one is exponentially higher than the amount of gamers in the mid 90s. 2) also, fallout 1/2 were PC only. Its pretty much universally accepted that other than blizzard and valve games, pc games are pretty damn weak. --- Currently playing: SC2, Civ 5 Next up: eh ; Awaiting: meh |

The stats that Albion posted are flawed since: A) Oblivion lost in a LFF match in its favor. B) Fallout 3 lost in a match that could have been LFF against it. However, I see no reason to assume Oblivion isn't within a decent distance of Fallout 3. It wouldn't beat it, I don't think Fallout 3 is tiers above it or anything. --- "Ahem!
