It would now, due to recency and the playrate for Super Metroid being very low these days. But if you count their "peak" strength relative to their eras, Super Metroid absolutely crushes Prime.


I thought Super Metroid, despite achieving monster critical acclaim in its day, was quickly overshadowed by Donkey Kong Country and never became the "best game ever" until much later.

I just beat Metroid: Other M, and while I loved the game it turned out to be completely not worth thinking over it for years.

Crono vs Cloud, 1v1, for the bonus match. No need to fight Sephiroth anymore, clearly he's far below Crono's level and not worthy of his time.


oh these are fighting words

It's ok ExTha.

We can give Sephiroth someone on his level for another bonus match.

Like Marth.

Oh yeah about the x-stats
Everything that has happened since Crono lost to Pikachu made him look better

Is there a chance for Crono to finish above Mario and Cloud in the xstats...?

Looks like Squirtle/Pikachu are splitting the ASV and letting Snake hold up here.

Or something. I dunno.

Either way, Zack > Cloud seems all but confirmed in the final stats now.

The worst part about Draven rally falling off was that Sephiroth is now above Vincent!!

Red will have to get absolutely crushed tomorrow for Mario to have a chance of finishing below Crono.

Cloud's currently half a point ahead of Crono right now.

I wonder what would happen in a different dimension where this site didn't go down for 90 minutes by a "DDoS" and instead a "staff member" stopped the Draven rally for 90 minutes,and Link won by 765 votes

Would Allen do a rerun? call us cheaters?

#216 | Nanis23 | Posted 9/12/2013 2:03:12 PM | message detail
I think the spread prediction topic is pretty accurate for this
I don't see anyone breaking 40% in this match,because it would mean Red gets 20%
I know I said im afraid of him getting LPF'd but I doubt it will really happen

38-36-26 sounds good (or using the spread prediction of 37-36-27)
This match can also be the closest for 33-33-33 we will have in this contest..depending on Red (we still can't read this guy)

So I think if someone is going to predict it,he can do it now using this spread

not sure if I did it right, but I think Red is projected at 35.20% on Snake

If Megaman wins tonight, we will have our first ever final without a Nintendo or Square entrant. Since these things began in 2002, we have had 32 finalists:

Nintendo: 15
Square: 14
Other: 3

This year, it could be 3 for Other and 0 for Nintendo/Square.

I'd hazard to say everyone is weaker now than in 2K3! Except Link and Snake. And Link only because of Draven, otherwise he sucked too.

As for if Mega Man is stronger relative to the other NNers...well, I guess we'll see. If he beats Samus or comes real close than the answer would have to be yes.

If there is an effect it would hurt Samus, Mega Man is one of the most well-known characters in gaming and Red literally has Pokemon in his name.
