If you had to ask me what games I think would be in the Noble Nine, here's what I would propose: In 2004 the "Super Six" was SMB3, CT, LttP, FFVI, FFVII and OoT I guess we should drop FFVI, but there's a lot that we could add: SMW, SM64, RBY, MGS, FFX, SSBM and SSBB. --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls GotD Bracket: 90/100 Today's Matches: SW: KotOR & FFIX |

Mario 64 got within inches of LTTP and could possibly be the strongest Mario game. there is no noble nine here. you've got tiers here: top: OOT, FF7 near-top: LTTP, SM64, CT, RBY, Brawl, Melee, FFX, TP, Mario 3, Mario World high: RE4, GSC, MGS, FF8, MGS3, KH, KH2, Wind Waker, MGS4, maybe FF6 mid-high: Mario 1, Zelda 1, Goldeneye, Mario RPG, FF9, Majora's Mask, Fallout 3 mid: Oblivion, Mario Kart 64, Diablo 2, Super Metroid, Bioshock, Portal, Metroid Prime, Half-Life 2, SSB, Super Mario Kart, Link's Awakening, DPP something like that. I'm probably missing some games but the order should be about right. --- xyzzy |

Would FFX beat MGS? I always figured since MGS is older it would not have trouble beating FFX. --- lol opinions |
creativename | Posted 11/30/2010 4:11:18 PM | message detail |
From: transients | #704 I thought everyone always agreed that older games looked weaker than they should due to greater SFF than with newer games? Since most older gamers played the same big games, while newer games had much less playrate overlap. From: -LusterSoldier- | #708 The concept wouldn't make sense. With characters there were always 9 or 10 guys that were ahead of everybody. With games it's a big pile of mush. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

MGS
lost to RBY cleanly despite OOT there. MGS4 -- which I thought then and
now was equal if not stronger to MGS in 2008 -- lost to FFX. I'd pick
FFX every time, personally. I thought everyone always agreed that older games looked weaker than they should due to greater SFF than with newer games? Since most older gamers played the same big games, while newer games had much less playrate overlap. I hadn't heard this idea. if anything it would make the older games look better than normal since all the big guns are going to crush the little games. old games have always been overvalued in my opinion, so much so that everyone was pretty confident in a clean FF7 victory (and not because of LTTP/FFX overlap, either). OOT came along and showed that new games were pretty strong in and of themselves. (OOT was in the 'new' half of the bracket) --- xyzzy |

Next
games contest should take the top ten games from each gen and then seed
all of them. It would be interesting on how the old compares to the
new. --- R.I.P Halo 2 |

that's
the thing - the NES goes about five games deep max. SNES/Genesis gets
to 15. by the time we hit PS2, we're at 30 or 40, and now we've got 50
games this gen that are worth something. new games don't hit the godly
levels that old games did, but that's because we're a lot more balanced
now. one company doesn't dominate the landscape anymore. --- xyzzy |

If
we format the contest like this current one is, there will be a total
of 128 games that makes the list. Some generations could get a little
more rep than others. I would be fine with that. --- R.I.P Halo 2 |

Next
games contest should take the top ten games from each gen and then seed
all of them. It would be interesting on how the old compares to the
new. Then OoT or FF7 wins again. That's boring. And that's also why this contest was set up to eliminate those two games from the running. I was thinking we could do a contest similar to GOTD, but for characters. "Character of the Decade" contest, or something like that. Basically, you only include characters who were created in 2000-2009. Doing that pretty much eliminates the entire Noble Nine from the characters bracket. allowing for a contest where the winner is actually up in the air. --- PSN - Aevio Playing: Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes |

now was equal if not stronger to MGS in 2008 -- lost to FFX. I'd pick
FFX every time, personally. lol 4-ways says otherwise. Also there's no reason to think MGS4 > MGS, even back then. Even if you think they're equal we're talking about a 52/48 match, FFX isn't that safe. --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls GotD Bracket: 90/100 Today's Matches: SW: KotOR & FFIX |

I
might gamble on Sora if Square would actually unveil some god damned
KHIII. Might also gamble on Dante or Mudkip or Bidoof or some crap. The
strength ceiling would be so much lower than a standard CB, and
something about a side character being crowned "Character of the
Decade" seems a little off. --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Auron Sora Dante Tidus/Rikku/Yuna Shepard Vault Boy that's probably your best competition. shame Big Boss isn't eligible because he'd be a huge wildcard. --- xyzzy |

Wait
a second, are we forgetting Dante with his MVC3 boost, it is not like
Auron would break 55% on him based on this year stats. Auron could only
score 44% on Zero and i would take Ryu/Dante > Zero. Auron would be the clear favorite, but i think Dante has a slim chance as well. |

OOT came along and showed that new games were pretty strong in and of themselves. (OOT was in the 'new' half of the bracket) The idea was brought up by someone before FFVII/OOT, I remember. It was always true (basically, the upper half of the bracket was filled with Nintendo LFF), but in the context of our old/new debate I remember it felt almost like preemptive damage control. I think the real message there was that OOT could beat FFVII, much more than anything about the new/old games, but I at least was too fixated on the idea of FFVII saving us from perpetual Nintendo domination to put too much thought there. --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |

Kinda depends on if we're witnessing a drop off from FFX, doesn't it? In any case, I don't see anybody else throwing out any ideas that would give us a good contest without picking the same game/character to win as every other contest. --- PSN - Aevio Playing: Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes |

To
be honest, that Character of the Decade contest sounds all right. It's
something different, and it could provide for some very interesting
matches. The only thing is we'd probably have 64 characters instead of
128. I'm still rooting for a Greatest Fictional Character Ever contest, though. --- It takes a genius to make something simple truly great. Dr. Football, you are the man! I'll take you down next contest though... |

Yeah,
at this point, I'd rather see some outside-the-box ideas. The 4
way-polls was an interesting one but it was hell to predict. 2 matches per day is also a nice addition. And taking out the oldest games by making it a decade contest was brilliant. On the game's side, there's some nice possibilities in the future. Hell, he could make it into an annual GOTY contest after that. On the character side, it's grown pretty damn old however. There's gotta be better ideas than another character contest. --- "You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life." ~ Winston Churchill |

We
could do Classic Games from the NES, Genesis, and SNES areas too for
the next game contest to figure out the best classic game. Granted, only like LTTP, Chrono Trigger, and the two Mario games would be of any real strength, but it's plausible. (Game Boy could also be thrown in I guess so that it's likely going to be RBY vs. Link to the Past.) --- Hail to VI, Village Idiot!

every
contest idea has been worn thin. every contest idea is basically doing
its best to protect the site from itself and its bias towards RPGs,
Nintendo games, classic/iconic characters, etc etc. as far as I'm
concerned, this is the last contest we need for a long time. I'd like
it if Game of the Year was expanded to a 32 game bracket with
nominations and a prediction period, actually, but that'd be too soon
to happen this year. --- xyzzy |

characters- by the time we're done, both games will be so hated that
they might have a chance of losing in the next games contest! --- Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest. |
