If
Zelda performed worse in 4 ways, I would imagine it would be because
they have a very overlapping fanbase, and were LFFing with everyone. If they performed worse that is. Link looked is absolute best in 2007, before falling off in 2008 and 2010. Zelda has looked pretty consistent from 2007 to now and Ganondorf looked slightly better in 2007/2008 to me, before falling off a little in 2010. The games all looked pretty good in 2009, as well. Majora's Mask is the only one this contest that I'd say looked better. 2010 was probably Link's worst contest to be quite honest. He's finally dropped back down to his 2002/2003 levels, and was getting anti-voted in the earlier rounds to boot. Not sure why that stopped in the later rounds, though. I still don't understand how Luigi was able to avoid SFF, but Mario wasn't. --- "Ahem! There is *sand* on my *boot*!"--Kefka Dr. Football beat me, Yesmar in the 2010 Guru Contest! |

From: Lightning Strikes | #353 Majora is definitely 8. The less popular followup to the smash hit, that's still a fantastic game and arguably better. The fact that FF goes 7 > 10 > 8 > 9 in contest strength also carries over to OoT > TP > MM > WW --- http://i49.tinypic.com/2ry672r.jpg |

From: HaRRicH | #348 I'm guessing the site has a mild case of the same illogical voting habits the board did after Brawl hit. Remember before Brawl came out? Melee was pretty much the most popular game here. No one hated it; it won contests all the time. IIRC, it went undefeated in RPGuy and swirl's massive NCAA games contest, wrecking everything in its path. When Brawl released, things changed. Brawl beat Melee handily every time, yet it lost to games that Melee was schooling months earlier. On the board, we really did see that fabled theory of Brawl > Melee > lots of other games > Brawl And we saw it a lot. I know it's rather dubious to extrapolate a board habit unto the entire site, but I'm doing it, try and stop me. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

Also
i've decided that if FFX does reach final i will vote for that and hope
it beats Brawl. I Dislike both games but i can at least Respect FFX. --- http://www.gifsoup.com/view2/1499384/me3-o.gif |

Just
a generational thing. In lots of areas Brawl makes Melee look outdated
and poor (not on the whole though, it's very close) which means a lot
of people vote for it over its predecessor. --- http://www.mariocube.nl/upload/XIII1008171346.jpg |

Also
the fact that there are more characters, less palette swaps, and the
characters (aside from maybe Meta Knight) are way more balanced than
the Fox/Sheik-fest that was Melee. --- http://i49.tinypic.com/2ry672r.jpg |

really did see that fabled theory of Brawl loses to games it should beat on the board the same reason FFVII loses to games yet it is the board's favourite game. People anti-vote it and in a small sample size it matters. When Brawl and Melee go at it, everyone votes, those user contest matches can't compare. --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls GotD Bracket: 204/256 Today's Matches: HL2 & SSBB |

And
how is saying FFX has terrible voice acting and is extremely linear not
objective? That's about as close to objective as you can get. If I
wanted to be subjective, I'd talk about how terrible the cast was and
how non-manacing Seymour and Sin were. --- http://i49.tinypic.com/2ry672r.jpg |

Meta
Knight and Snake are far more broken at lower levels of play. You've
got to be a Smash flippin' master to utilize Melee Fox and Falco to
their fully broken capabilities. Hardly anyone can do that. Meta Knight
and Snake are broken at any level. Granted, Melee Marth and Sheik are
kinda like that as well. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

Falco
is actually overpowered at the lower levels of Melee, but he obviously

techskill to actually use him --- Canas123:NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ninja Plague:(re: canas 123)I find your lack of faith disturbing |

Lightning Strikes | Posted 12/19/2010 9:57:25 AM | message detail |
I find it really hard to respect that review! Largely because he advises murdering people who like FFX. Too far. Also, MM=FFIX because it was the 3D Zelda the fewest people played, but has gained a cult following amongst a lot of controversy, like FFIX did. FFVIII is a controversial follow-up, yes, but that was more mainstream for popularity even if it was controversial, MM is more of a cult game(for a certain relative value of cult that is, the game still sold millions). --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 12/19/2010 9:58:54 AM | message detail |
From: Lightning Strikes | #384 I would argue that MM is way more mainstream than WW (at least on this site). What are the sales like between those 2 games? --- http://i49.tinypic.com/2ry672r.jpg |
Cylun | Posted 12/19/2010 9:59:05 AM | message detail |
Saying
that something is bad because the gameplay experience will almost
always be the same and the players have essentially no options to
explore IS pretty objective, though. Fortunately, Final Fantasy X does provide the players with options. It also just happens to have a map that literally looks like a straight line --- Canas123:NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ninja Plague:(re: canas 123)I find your lack of faith disturbing |

From: BlAcK TuRtLe | #385 c.3 million(MM) vs. c. 4.5 million(WW) Majora's Mask is easily the lowest selling 3D game, and even beyond that it's been outsold by quite a lot of the series. If Spirit Tracks overtakes its sales lifetime like it's looking to, MM will be the lowest selling non-Capcom Zelda. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |

From: Cylun | #386 That's not an objective stement. "FFX provides players with the same gameplay experience every time" is objective. "FFX is bad because of this" is subjective.
