Samus strength on this site has always been one of the most confusing things about these contests. Especially when you factor in her being able to beat Sonic all the way back in 2002. Which was before Prime was even out. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
KamikazePotato posted... Heck, I'd like to point out that Samus is Top 5 despite none of her games being especially strong or cares about. Nintendo fans! Which is even more strange because Super Metroid should be top 5 in strength, and I have never voted for Samus. Then again you can say the same thing about Sonic or Mega Man. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. SuperNiceDog > Me |
Red/Blue is why if we get an OoT-less Games contest I'm taking RBY to win. Even though in my heart I know LttP will win. |
ChenKenichiFan posted... The Mega Man crew is now easily the best performing of the contest. They've only had two matches but both have been outstanding. More impressed with Sonic Team than Mega Man in this match. Put Tails here, and he's probably winning outright. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |
LMS you are (were?) on the leaderboard and you're pushing ridley > tidus --- ~Zen |
Karma Hunter posted... KamikazePotato posted...Heck, I'd like to point out that Samus is Top 5 despite none of her games being especially strong or cares about. Nintendo fans! It's a combination of design, and being an iconic character. Not to the same extent as a Sonic or Mega Man, but then Samus makes up for that by her games being more popular. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Ridley
is a big dragon that's a recurring boss fight. I hope he's weak, I've
been worried about Zidane dropping that match since the bracket came
out, but if he's legit it wouldnt't be that surprising. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Metroid series being more popular than the Sonic/Mega Man series, this is certainly an opinion held by rational people --- sig |
People
are saying Protoman has a better chance in a night match? I'm not so
sure here. Proto's kinda getting killed in Europe right now. Maybe he
has a chance to start turning this around when Europe goes to bed. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Lopen posted... People are saying Protoman has a better chance in a night match? I'm not so sure here. Proto's kinda getting killed in Europe right now. Maybe he has a chance to start turning this around when Europe goes to bed. Hasn't Mega Man always been weak in Europe? (or am I thinking of something else) It hasn't stopped Mega Man from being more night-oriented anyway, I think. --- sig |
Thinking
about this, was Mega Man 10 out before the Snake/Protoman match? He was
pretty prominent in that, and was basically his first game appearance
in like 15 years. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog |
Karma Hunter posted... Metroid series being more popular than the Sonic/Mega Man series, this is certainly an opinion held by rational people Metroid Prime and Super Metroid would beat any Sonic and Mega Man game on this site, yes. |
Yeah,
a night match doesn't favor Mega Man characters at all because Europe
destroys them. If anything, it'd give Robotnik an outside shot at
winning since Europe loves Sonic. --- http://i.imgur.com/fe05x.png http://i.imgur.com/stNJf.png |
ZenOfThunder posted... LMS Tidus is a choke artist. He'd find a way to lose that somehow. Then again, that's my logic for picking Otacon > Magus, and not sticking with my Donkey Kong > Lightning and Kefka > Zack/Ryu picks. In all honesty, I feel that the second one is going to come back to bite me. Donkey Kong impressed during Rivalry Rumble (boy am I hypocritical or what? But I'm not making assumptions about strength, to be fair), and he's a gaming icon while Lightning is the divisive protagonist of a relative new and divisive game. But then again if anyone knows how to choke against Square characters it's Donkey Kong. Unless Square Enix =/= Square, that is. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Eh
I've never thought Mega Man to be night oriented as much as "first
three hours oriented" I'm pretty sure he's pretty balanced trendwise
after the open to the match, generally, with the trends mostly depending
on the opponents. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
FranzyvonKarma posted... Karma Hunter posted...Metroid series being more popular than the Sonic/Mega Man series, this is certainly an opinion held by rational people Putting aside the veracity of that statement, that's not the same thing. Collectively Mega Man's and Sonic's series annihilate Metroid. --- sig |
I think the big issue you're having with Ridley is that he's a C-list character and sucks, so he should be weak. While I understand where you're coming from, Shadow the Hedgehog is going to win a match this year. Tragedies happen. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Karma Hunter posted... Lopen posted...People are saying Protoman has a better chance in a night match? I'm not so sure here. Proto's kinda getting killed in Europe right now. Maybe he has a chance to start turning this around when Europe goes to bed. Mega Man is weak in Europe, but the first 3-4 hours of a night match are usually the Blue Bomber's most dominant period. He falls off in the middle of the night, has a terrible morning, a so-so day, then absolutely rocks the evening vote. If this is within 300-400 votes at 8pm, Protoman can absolutely take it back. Were this a night match, you would see Protoman and Ike dominate the first hour, Protoman take off from 1am-4am, Robotnick probably win from 4am-8am, then Ike and Robotnik to split the last 4 hours. --- Game of the decade?

hey guys remember when Metroid got 52% on Pokemon in the Series Contest and we thought that was a terrible performance --- http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/7760/222bj.jpg |
Double post time! But yeah, Ridley > Tidus essentially rests on Ridley being the perfect character to take advantage of Tidus's anti-votes. He was for Cloud, he can be for another Square lead as well. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |

Karma Hunter posted... FranzyvonKarma posted...Karma Hunter posted...Metroid series being more popular than the Sonic/Mega Man series, this is certainly an opinion held by rational people Games =/= Series, otherwise Mario Kart would have beaten Mega Man. Samus's games are far more popular than Sonic or Mega Man's here. We have contest evidence to show that, as much as I would love to somehow be able to prove FF4 defeats Melee through Mega Man 3 and Prime! |
LeonhartFour posted... hey guys remember when Metroid got 52% on Pokemon in the Series Contest and we thought that was a terrible performance It was, Pokemon was still obviously a different animal back then. Could Metroid even break 40% today? --- sig |
LinkMarioSamus posted... ZenOfThunder posted...LMS Pure curiosity. Discounting choking, what is the logic behind Kefka > Zack? Wouldn't that like require Bowser > MM? --- Crucifying my Oracle average one match at a time |
I would expect Ridley to fold against any Nintendo character people care about, like Peach does. So I'd never take Ridley to beat Ike. Ridley/Ness/Peach 3-way this needs to happen --- http://gifsoup.com/view4/2077316/thane-dance-o.gif http://gifsoup.com/view1/1334641/pop-that-collar-o.gif |

ShatteredElysium posted... LinkMarioSamus posted...ZenOfThunder posted...LMS Zack > Kefka isn't even remotely in question. They both got 38% in 2010, but one was against Bowser and the other was against a roided out Mega Man. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog |
Thinking
about this, was Mega Man 10 out before the Snake/Protoman match? He was
pretty prominent in that, and was basically his first game appearance
in like 15 years. It was released a month after Snake/Proto Man and the game doesn't seem to be the type that would get a lot of hype. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 25/30 Today's Picks: GlaDOS and Ike |
Yeah.
Ridley vs. Zidane scares me because if Ridley is stronger
intrinsically, the site is going to go into Nintendo v Square mode and
he wins. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... Karma Hunter posted...FranzyvonKarma posted...Karma Hunter posted...Metroid series being more popular than the Sonic/Mega Man series, this is certainly an opinion held by rational people I would love this, but I don't even consider taking FFVI, let alone Link's Awakening, over every game to come out since 2000. |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... I think I'd take Mega Man X and Sonic 2 over Metroid Prime as well. I'm not sure about that. Sonic 3 got destroyed by Super Metroid despite it splitting with Super Mario Kart (and ALMOST LOSING). Sonic 2's probably stronger, sure, but I kinda doubt it'd beat Metroid Prime, which is probably stronger than Super Metroid. --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |
LeonhartFour posted... I would expect Ridley to fold against any Nintendo character people care about, like Peach does. Peach > Ridley > Ness Series takes over. --- *shrug* |
charmander6000 posted... Thinking about this, was Mega Man 10 out before the Snake/Protoman match? He was pretty prominent in that, and was basically his first game appearance in like 15 years. Hype doesn't really factor into it. More of a keeping him relevant than anything. Not saying this Protoman is significantly stronger than 2010, but having a well-received game for the first time in almost 20 years can't hurt. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog |
I still want to see it, even if that is the likely outcome. Actually, I'd probably go Peach > Ness > Ridley --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |

Yeah.
Ridley vs. Zidane scares me because if Ridley is stronger
intrinsically, the site is going to go into Nintendo v Square mode and
he wins. I was surprised that more people didn't give Ridley a better chance, sure anti-votes and all, but what if they weren't largely anti-votes --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 25/30 Today's Picks: GlaDOS and Ike |
FranzyvonKarma posted... Karma Hunter posted...FranzyvonKarma posted...Karma Hunter posted...Metroid series being more popular than the Sonic/Mega Man series, this is certainly an opinion held by rational people You're not accounting for the context of the statement. Samus having individual games stronger than some of Mega Man's or Sonic's doesn't matter when the series is collectively weaker, for the purposes of her strength. MGS is stronger than any game in any of those series, which was certainly little consolation for Snake when he was weaker than all three of 'em! --- sig |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... No way, Super Metroid is way stronger than Prime There isn't a single contest match that points to this. --- http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2011/8/22/2094c2de-bae8-4f5b-9f27-67eaff0aaeaf.jpg |

doesn't really factor into it. More of a keeping him relevant than
anything. Not saying this Protoman is significantly stronger than 2010,
but having a well-received game for the first time in almost 20 years
can't hurt. It was more that he did not get a boost for his 2010 match because there was no hype, I agree that he could be stronger now. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 25/30 Today's Picks: GlaDOS and Ike |
I
keep thinking that Metroid Prime's contest strength is represented by
where it's placed in the GOTD x-stats. I guess that could be a lie. But I would take Metroid Prime over Super Mario Galaxy for certain, and no Mega Man or Sonic game is beating Galaxy. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
I'll never trust Prime again after what it did against Kingdom Hearts and Vice City. It was all I could do to not pull the trigger on HL2 > Prime (GOTD was weird anyhow). --- sig |
So
is there any known trend that Protoman will somehow make a huge
comeback or it's pretty much over like this? with Protoman cutting here
and there but pretty much over? |
Karma Hunter posted... I'll never trust Prime again after what it did against Kingdom Hearts and Vice City. It was all I could do to not pull the trigger on HL2 > Prime (GOTD was weird anyhow). someone reads too much into super old contest results --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me.

Karma Hunter posted... I'll never trust Prime again after what it did against Kingdom Hearts and Vice City. It was all I could do to not pull the trigger on HL2 > Prime (GOTD was weird anyhow). To be fair, Paper Mario being there messed it up. And Kingdom Hearts is a strong game. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |

Prime and Paper Mario both did very well in GotD. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
GOTD is more recent! --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |
So
is there any known trend that Protoman will somehow make a huge
comeback or it's pretty much over like this? with Protoman cutting here
and there but pretty much over? Well when Europe goes to bed Proto Man will get stronger by comparison. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 25/30 Today's Picks: GlaDOS and Ike |
I said proper Even I don't believe MGS3 is as strong as GOTD implies which should tell you something --- sig |
I believe it! No reason to believe there was something wrong with its performance on Majora's Mask, and that was a day match! I mean, yeah, Majora's probably a bit overrated in the stats, but still, MGS3 legit! --- http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo22vfguji1qzxr43.gif |
