From: PartOfYourWorld | #441 KH has Square to thank for it's strength. If Square had kept making A+ games, KH wouldn't be nearly as notable. Square tanked, so its stock rose a lot. --- DFF |

From: PartOfYourWorld | #450 I think the best theory for that match I've seen is that Paper Mario was affected by Kingdom Hearts, not Prime. And if you think about the demographics, it does make a good degree of sense. Since when does Metroid SFF anything, anyway? --- DFF |
UltimaterializerX | Posted 12/8/2010 11:00:09 AM | message detail |
KH1
was the last truly great A+ Square game. I can't think of anything
they've hit out of the park since, barring remakes and ports. --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.· <Good>! |

From: charmander6000 | #448 It's still 50/50 for me. Neither game will win over 52%. Prime is going to be very good during the day. --- http://levelupnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/golden_sun_ds.jpg |

Resident Evil 5 vs. Okami is probably debatable. I know I would take ToS>Okami (although by a sliver). --- DFF |
UltimaterializerX | Posted 12/8/2010 11:04:30 AM | message detail |
I'd
be stunned if Okami even broke 45% on God of War. Unless God of War
goes totally berserk in a couple hours when the brats get home (not
altogether impossible), Metroid Prime is f***ed. I really need to play
the Half-Life games one of these days to see what the big deal is. --- .·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·. If I only could make a deal with God, and get him to swap our places. |

It's still 50/50 for me. Neither game will win over 52%. Prime is going to be very good during the day. God of War wasn't that far from MGS3 in terms of separation and it clearly would have done better against it than Okami did. --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls GotD Bracket: 120/136 Today's Matches: MP & HL2 |

From: UltimaterializerX | #451 you're still too upset from when i completely owned you. Stop lying. Also you cannot talk about correction when you made that "popular opinions>yours" topic. hahahahaha. Petty insutls towrds me just shows how much you were hurt by it. Also, MGS2>>>>SOTC. Easily the most deserving victory in the contest for a far FAR superior game. --- http://levelupnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/golden_sun_ds.jpg |
ExThaNemesis | Posted 12/8/2010 11:07:50 AM | message detail |
FINALLY Gordon gives me a performance that says it can compete with Prime and FO3. The next round/s should be greatly entertaining! |
ExThaNemesis | Posted 12/8/2010 11:09:58 AM | message detail |
I'm
pretty sure Ulti would never make a "pop opinion > yours" topic/post
without being intensely facetious, considering that would invalidate
his irrational SoTC hatred somewhat. Ulti's a lot of things, but very
rarely is he so blatantly contradictory. |

Meh
last round I said I would have taken GTA3 > Okami, this match shows
that the GTA games aren't as weak as some people were hyping. --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls GotD Bracket: 120/136 Today's Matches: MP & HL2 |

Yea Ulti, you're just a god at every contest right? You always finish top 5.... Oh wait. Make all the excuses up but when Prime beats HL2 i will be here to rub it in your face. And "LMFAO" at Okami only getting 45% on freaking God Of War. We aren't talking about the 2nd GoW here(the more popular,well liked game) we are talking about the very first GoW. --- AKA Super Luigi. #1 Tennessee Titans fan. |
ExThaNemesis | Posted 12/8/2010 11:13:54 AM | message detail |
INDEED. GTA being legit means a lot of things. It means the RSE was legit, meaning GSC gonna stomp, and it also means that Golden Sun is gonnna beat FFX obviously. |
KamikazePotato | Posted 12/8/2010 11:14:46 AM | message detail |
I'll settle for Golden Sun not getting RPG-SFFd. Poor Nintendo RPGs. They overlap with about 3/4 of the bracket. It's a miracle Golden Sun got two non-RPG, non-Nintendo matches. --- DFF |
FFI3_Lightning | Posted 12/8/2010 11:14:59 AM | message detail |
From: ExThaNemesis | #464 I think Prime/Hl2 and Fo3 are relatively similar in strength maybe 1-2% between them with FO3 being he strongest. 59% on Batman isn't that much more impressive than 56% on Gow/GTAIII. Unless Fallout completely blows Halo Combat away then you will see very close FDiv Final and QF matches. Shame since Fallout 3 was labelled the western "beast" it doesn't really get to go up against any strong non-western game.(until being ripped apart by Melee) --- http://levelupnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/golden_sun_ds.jpg |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 12/8/2010 11:15:04 AM | message detail |
Remember,
while Metroid may have even trends (I still think it would be slightly
stronger in the day), it has faced three clearly night-oriented games
at night. I'm not sure if another other big entrant has been that
disadvantaged so far. Finally gets a crack at day next round. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

From: FFI3_Lightning | #463 None of this "owning" ever happened, but thanks for proving my point ^_^ MGS2>>>>SOTC. I agree completely. --- ·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.· Miracles do not dwell in magic that doesn't bear risk. |

I'm not sure if another other big entrant has been that disadvantaged so far Melee's been stuck with night matches so far. |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 12/8/2010 11:18:08 AM | message detail |
From: ExThaNemesis | #473 Yeah, but are Guitar Hero and Morrowind really that night-oriented? Look at Prime's regional splits in all three matches. They are ridiculous for something that's supposed to have even trends. Also, Melee should get cut a break this round. CoD is clearly a day game. --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/ml36gl_th.gif Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

god I hope Melee just absolutely molestes CoD4. It's like gaming's biggest shining light against its plague. |

From: ExThaNemesis | #465 Some guy quoted me and said "popular opinion yours" on my opinion on FFXII. I replied back with the same thing as joke(i can't remember what it was about). he didn't read the original post and think i meant that statement. Even when he knew he was wrong in his own topic he just replied back "he likes SOTC" as some sort of reason for attacking me. I didn't disagree with the initial statement but it was a personal attack, he was wrong. plain and simple. I'm happy to let it go, but he obviously lost an argument and couldn't find anything to say back. I made a serious topic but all he could do is laugh...that's fine but instuling people for having a different opinion doesn't make you look good. --- http://levelupnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/golden_sun_ds.jpg |

So
for the hell of it, I asked Allen how Luster's brackets were looking in
the regular contest stats (since Allen only fixed the battle stats as
it were, so a Lusterboard was still possible). Message From GameFAQs on 12/08/2010 Luster doesn't have any duplicates with the same score on the leaderboard. Luckily, he goofed up most of his bracket entries. What goofing up is he talking about, Luster? Is your final Halo > Final Fantasy 9 or something? --- ·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.· http://img.imgcake.com/wesker.gif |

As
for Ulti in MGS2/SotC I really wished that match was still alive in the
analysis crew, but basically Ulti's write-up was "while I acknowledge
that SotC has a small chance I'll be backing MGS2" --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls GotD Bracket: 120/136 Today's Matches: MP & HL2 |

From: Heroic Common Sense | #472 It did happen, but carry on reassuring yourself and others that it didn't. Also i meant SOTC>>>MGS2. Bit silly of me there lol, owned myself. --- http://levelupnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/golden_sun_ds.jpg |
KamikazePotato | Posted 12/8/2010 11:28:16 AM | message detail |
Ulti had the lowest score for MGS2 on the Crew that day, I think. You can't hold that match against him. --- DFF |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 12/8/2010 11:29:04 AM | message detail |
I
have a sinking feeling that Melee will barely outscore Kingdom Hearts
and get trashed on. Let me say right now that this isn't fair because
everyone here would take Modern Warfare to easily dispatch Modern
Warfare 2. The original MW should be ahead indirectly as well. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

From: FFI3_Lightning | #476 Uh, no, you said "popular opinion > yours" to defend FF12 and cited the game's professional review scores being mostly high. Then when everyone called you out on how review scores rarely match up with opinion among gamers, you pulled the "lol I was just kidding" act and left. ExTha was in that topic and has a really good memory, so making things up isn't going to work on him <_< --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´ XFD rofl bad u mad?

i wasn't even there. But it's funny nonetheless. I'm just glad sotc
exceeded peoples expectations. Great game deserves to progress. it
would have been a shame to be rolled over by an inferior MGS game. --- http://levelupnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/golden_sun_ds.jpg |

I've
said CoD4>MW2 before the contest even started. People are
underestimating how much backlash there was for that game. Brawl hate
has nothing on MW2 hate. --- DFF |
ExThaNemesis | Posted 12/8/2010 11:31:59 AM | message detail |
If we're going to start talking about Ulti's credentials, the guy won the 2nd hardest to predict 1 on 1 contest ever held. I don't care what mistakes he's made, that puts him ahead of everyone here sans like, yoblazer. |
UltimaterializerX | Posted 12/8/2010 11:32:45 AM | message detail |
From: KamikazePotato | #480 Yeah, it's the irony of ironies that I won the Crew point for that match. Then Big Bob spent the whole day trying to poke at me, and I refused to bite. I swore I'd be civil during that match, and I was. I hate SotC, but that's trumped by my love of 4-way stats getting turned into a joke and "clutch" fan bases failing at a late rally. I love MGS2, but that series has pulled off way too many fishy wins for my liking. --- "I think people who make baseless assumptions about Ulti's life in an attempt to discredit him are worse than Ulti himself." -Leon4 |

From: UltimaterializerX | #461 Precisely. Does anyone think Samus is as weak as that poll suggests? Does anyone think that PM is as weak as its poll with MP suggests? It is PRECISELY the same thing I think. Indirectly close games (or at least CLOSER) separated by SFF pedigree. --- Placeholder anti-capslock sig. |

From: UltimaterializerX | #482 Actually that statements was used against me FIRST. You are wrong if you think i used that statement first. someone even called you out on it in your own topic. I did use that "popular opinion yours" but only as a retaliation and it WASN'T about FFXII. In fact if i remember correctly i used it for SOTC. But i absolutely did NOT Make up that statement not do i agree with it. I just retaliated somoneelse who used it. Even if i wanted to use that statement i sure as hell wouldn't use it against FFXII, cmon i love the game but i'm not gonna stand here and say it's the popular opinion. --- http://levelupnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/golden_sun_ds.jpg |
