well, and SM64. you can't discount that one after that one match was so tight.

SM64/LTTP would've been an interesting match this contest

too bad that has 0% chance of happening!
I would put the Zelda heirarchy as:

OOT > LTTP > MM > TP = WW > LoZ > LAw > LBW = SS > Zelda II > OoA/OoS = MCap > HyWar > TriHeroes

I know old has been dominating new, and CoD4 has gone downhill - but I really can't see Call of Duty 4 doing that poorly. There's no way I would take Super Metroid over FFVI and that performance would put CoD4 below ACII. That would be a ridiculously huge drop for a game that was once considered for GotY on this site.

Modern Warfare wasn't GOTY. That was Modern Warfare 2!

Which has joined GOTY 2008 and 2013 in not making the bracket.

Didn't know if this has been pointed out yet but the MGS5 vs. Perfect Dark US map is super interesting to me. There's a huge chunk of middle America that prefers Perfect Dark and it's completely consistent, with no MGS5 gaps. It makes me wonder if certain split-screen multiplayer games caught on more than others in specific regions of the US.

A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice.
Dragon age easily gains 10% or more from here but still a great showing by Galaxy

(edited 11/15/2015 9:03:59 PM)report
well, super metroid came to play. makes me wonder how terrible mgsv is. with bloodborne more or less impressing today, dark souls should probably be the favourite for r2?

both Super Metroid and Galaxy are putting up bigger numbers than Majora would've been expected to put up in GOTD X-Stats

looks like Super Metroid/Galaxy may decide the division

Probably same reason as me.

'FF12? Everyone hates that, it will do terrible.'

Completely forgetting we had actual data on FF12. That's how forgettable that game is to me.
Galaxy probably ends up with like 60% here when the match is over. Mario board vote vs PC RPG board vote was never gonna be pretty

I almost went with Bloodborne > Final Fantasy XII, but then I thought against it because it's still Final Fantasy.

Galaxy has lost a lot of percentage from the beginning, but Super Metroid is holding firm at 80% here.

this is like watching Samus/Lara back in 2004

Uh idk why people are lamenting Bloodborne I'm sure FFXII has the heavy bracket advantage

it can still win this
---
Welcome to the League of Stickies.
I think Metroid should be the favorite in round 2.

This isn't Mario vs. Samus by any means. This is beloved classic on the SNES vs. liked game with no nostalgia behind it. I wish I picked Metroid like my intuition told me to.

I think Bloodborne actually has brackets despite what the board is picking. this could be a big board 8 over casuals day.
---

This is making me regret my Galaxy > Super Metroid pick (which I wrestled with for good while). I know CoD is weak as crap, but Metroid looks godly here.
I considered the Bloodborne upset as well, but decided I was probably overthinking it and stuck with FFXII. Hopefully my initial instinct was right.

The Character Battle IX people's champ.
Super Metroid is going to obliterate Galaxy. That's not even going to be close, really.

Don't see it contending against MM though. It's an equal with Super Mario Kart, at least circa 2009, and I don't see any amount of boosting getting it past MM.
---
Welcome to the League of Stickies.
Right off the bat Bloodborne was closer. FFXII has gone up since then. That leads me to believe a lot of people had Bloodborne just for the seed advantage probably.

Call of Duty is completely hated in this site. Moreso than Pokemon, Halo, and GTA had during their peak hate times. Only rhythm and sports games get as much hate as CoD.

CoD4 only gets 29% against 2010 Majora to begin with

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
Also feeling really good about my Metroid pick in R2. However, COD has seriously just fallen off a cliff with gameFAQs. We're not as casual friendly anymore. I think this is a backlash against the COD franchise itself tbh. COD4 itself is still seen as a good game but I think it's gotten lost in the backlash overall.

Quick 5 minute X-Stats:

Super Metroid would be expected to get 68.25% on Majora.

Mario Galaxy would get 47.86% on Majora

Bloodborne would be worth 26.89% on Majora, around Skies of Arcadia/Perfect Dark strength.

VC is overperforming by about 1% right now.
