Its always "LOL 4-ways" unless its a match that allows Melee to look better than Brawl. Than, its ok.

Using a Disgaea stat based on a match where Disgaea was the only non-Nintendo option is the very definition of lol 4-ways.

what about using a match where morrowind was the only non ps2 game?

both were likely boosted to look better than the likely were due to out of place factor.

Of course!

LFFd Melee scored 76.24% on Disgaea. 1v1, a non-LFFd Brawl will end the day with roughly the same percentage on the game equal to Disgaea. This isn't even extensive extrapolation -- both games went against the exact same entity. A second grader barely starting out with long division lessons could figure this out, which does actually explain how some people can't grasp the concept.

NoDicePwn | Posted 11/26/2010 10:39:06 AM | message detail
but really though, 76% is about what Brawl had to do here. Melee was hardly a world beater so it didn't do anything to make Brawl look like it has less of a chance this round, so only thing Brawl could have really done here to make itself look bad was to not match what Melee did on Morrowind.

Which is why when Melee was set equal to Brawl in the 2009 stats, Disgaea (and not Melee or Brawl) is the game that looks way out of place.

For the hell of it, here are the 10 games immediately below Disgaea in those stats:

Tetris
Paper Mario
Sonic 3
Donkey Kong Country
Doom
Mega Man 2
SoulCalibur
Phoenix Wright
Final Fantasy
Chrono Cross

Disgaea could maybe beat PW if it were the top option in a 1v1 match. All those other games would crush. You're literally being blind on purpose if you think Melee isn't the big favorite after today's match (or after Halo 1 > 3, to be frank), because it's no longer extrapolation dictating it. It's a direct result.

I'd say Brawl is looking slightly better than Melee based on this round in a vacuum.

The problem is that Brawl needs to look much stronger than Melee in these rounds, because it's been strong-time Brawl vs. weak-time Melee.

Oh wait, I completely forgot about this. Night Melee (Where Morrowind outright won England, or something) is outdoing Day Brawl.

LOL Wii. Melee is going to 60-40 Brawl.

Well more like 57-43 realistically, but yeah.

For some reason I thought you were an Asian guy in his 30s with an awesome computer job that allowed you to play Pokemon at work, out on the west coast somewhere. Which isn't sarcasm, I could have sworn there was a picture and bio from some Seattle Pokemon tournament a few years back that you got a wild card in.

And then you were all embarrassed to tell us which player you were even though everyone here knew you were one of the two Asian kids <_<

I would just like to point out that Valkyria Chronicles was going better in Europe than the rest of the world, and just did better overnight than Disgaea. Valkyria Chronicles has a worse day vote than Disgaea. Yeah people have off today, but Brawl really should be capitalizing on the fact that it's in the day.

Well it's setting up for getting 40% on Melee later.

The damage control in this topic was as predictable as L-Tryptophan putting people to sleep yesterday.

Haven't they shown that while Tryptophan puts people to sleep, there's not enough in turkey to have a significant effect?

So, are you saying it's predictable that the damage control people were getting the wrong conclusion based on the right evidence?

well...id say this is about normal for brawl. And melee underperformed a tad in its match vs morrowind.

so id say brawl/melee is still a debated match (unlike the people who thought melee would destroy it after the first round stats). But i still think melee is the favorite

Also, I still don't buy this "Wii hate" hurting Wii's all star games. Back in Gamecube days everybody knew the PS2 had a better library, that didn't hurt Melee. I objectively know Wii has a worse library and will complain about it, but that won't stop me voting for Twilight Princess (and regardless of what an "informed" gamer should know, the majority of people voting in that Wii sucks poll think of it as a Wii game because that's where they played it).

I'd say Melee is just objectively stronger than Brawl for countless other reasons, not because "OH IT'S ON THE WII". If Brawl had come out for the Cube it wouldn't have made it noticeably stronger.

That's great, that'll be very important for the board vote for the hardcore guys we have here.

Go ask the average Wii owner though, or the average voter on this site, and they'll tell you what console it belongs to. They outnumber us by a lot.

For contest purposes, it is a Wii game.

TP is a Wii game, games designed for a console, but changed have happened before and no one calls it the former console's game.

As a person with Brawl winning I'm not impressed, then again I wasn't that impressed with Melee either, but at least it could argue that it had a night match.

TP is a GC game. Sure more people palyed it on wii but for me and the 1 million people who purchased the GC version it was a GC game that they PORTED to wii. Once SKyward Sword comes out people won't even consider TP a wii game anyway, they only do it now since the GC died in 2006.

And GC wasn't hated because there was no need to fans to hate the GC. Sure it looked like a handbag but it played games with graphics similar to Xbox/PS2 and it got good Nintendo support.
