Let's not forget Chrono Cross is easily the best game in this contest.

Hey Ulti, why don't you like the supremely amazing game of the ever that is SotC?


Because it's the worst game ever made, in my opinion. Bad camera, bad controls, bad plot, bad combat, bad handling, bad graphics, bad frame rate, and only a marginally effective soundtrack.

Portal is a game that's overrated.

It was decent, but it isn't touching any top tier games.

MGS2 getting anti-voted would be stupid beyond belief. What did that game do to deserve anti-voting?

At least this is far less painful because SotC is losing to MGS2 and not MGS4.

Match LXXXIX: (1) Metal Gear Solid 3 vs. (8) Marvel vs. Capcom 2

Last Round

Metal Gear Solid 3 – 76.85%
TimeSplitters 2 – 23.15%

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 – 51.56%
New Super Mario Bros. Wii – 48.44%

Analysis

In one of the biggest surprises to the board Marvel vs. Capcom 2 was able to defeat New Super Mario Bros. Wii, sure it got some help through a rally, but I’m think that the game would have won without it. As for the match this is less of who will win instead it is how much will it win by.

The main question about last round is how much was the win done by Marvel vs. Capcom 2’s strength and how much was it due to Mario’s weakness. By the time New Super Mario Bros. Wii came out people stopped caring about the system and while the game had great sales around the world things like the GotY poll showed that GameFAQs just doesn’t care about the game. At the same time Marvel vs. Capcom 2 does seem to have some strength. People seem to have good memories playing the game and with Marvel vs. Capcom 3 coming out next year there is some hype for the series.

Metal Gear Solid 3 shouldn’t have a problem winning this match and may even have a chance at doubling Marvel vs. Capcom 2. While I believe it is possible that the game has strength I can’t ignore the fact that no one cares about New Super Mario Bros. Wii and that Metal Gear Solid 3 is no slouch when it comes to these contests.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Metal Gear Solid 3 > New Super Mario Bros. Wii

charmander6000’s Prediction: Metal Gear Solid 3 wins, 65.22% - 34.78%

Max score: 110

Overall prediction percentage is a bit higher than I expected. Everyone in the top 118 got the match right. It isn't until the 83 brackets who are 27 points below perfect that prediction percentage falls below 90.

No one fell off the Top 50 today.

Assassin's Creed II - which has every reason to be stronger than the original - sucked it up against ICO in spite of Brotherhood's release. I'd take MVC2 over AC without a second thought, and probably NSMBWii too.

Snake Eater's performance against TimeSplitters 2 was worrisome, but I feel like this performance is pretty good. Looking forward to seeing how MGS4 fares against Diablo!

Seems so, but

The MGS games seem to be four-way wonders, which doesn't really gel at all with what Snake did last year.

Most likely. Based on the early Geolocation results, it should go up a lot overnight because MvC2 is being crushed badly in Europe. MGS3 is also over 70% in Oceania and might also finish above 70% in Asia too.
