But if FF4 gets the SNES boost that would mean LttP gets it too --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

For reference this is about what FF4 is projected to get against Mario World. Make of that what you will. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
this
seems fine for LTTP. I think there's a real old Square resurgence and
LTTP is dealing with that. name a match where CT, FF6 and FF4 haven't
looked amazing. FF9 fits that mold too and look at that game. can't wait
to see that vs. OOT next round. --- xyzzy |
charmander6000 posted... Top 10 Highest Individual Votes I feel like this should be named something else since several of the losers should be in the top ten. "Highest Winning Vote Totals" or something. |
If Deus Ex is to be trusted, FFIV is actually pretty decent (around KH's level) and LttP should still handle Majora nicely. That's a big if though. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
Then00bAvenger posted... But if FF4 gets the SNES boost that would mean LttP gets it too I know, but from the pre-match discussion, it sounded like people were factoring the boost in only for LttP. I mean, with the fifty billion rereleases FFIV has gotten, I can see why some forgot where it actually debuted. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses (edited 11/25/2015 9:39:06 PM)report |
Karma Hunter posted... WarThaNemesis2 posted...All I know is that I wish Link's Awakening/Majora's Mask happened, because we may have seen the most unexpected (non-rally powered) upset in ages. Why? It's an old, well liked Zelda game. It has every reason to be quite strong. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
Can
I just say - I don't know how much this argument has been in jest - but
I really don't think this year's had much, if any, of a SNES boost. I
think this contest is showing what divisions by era and fourways hid. The Super Nintendo's top games outclass the vast majority of games in the contest. By a lot. But they always have. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Consider that in GotD Deus Ex was horribly SFFed by Fallout 3. FFIV is actually well above Majora's Mask, and the X-Stats for this contest will show that when LttP breaks 75% on Super Metroid. --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |

Yay!
Metroid has finally proved beyond a doubt that it's more than just a
leecher. At the time I made the pick it was pretty much blind faith and
feeling.... I picked Dark Souls to win, but I admit it wasn't due to accurately gauging each game.... I thought both MGSV and Dark Souls would be worth 65% on Perfect Dark. I went up to #37ish in the top 50, despite missing DKC2 vs. FE:A? (too lazy to double check) To make things even better, I called both Super Metroid's and Dark Souls... I'll probably be in the top ten tomorrow. This is barring some sort of comeback, of course. The bad thing is that I picked Oblivon over SMRPG in my bracket.... blargh. I thought SMRPG was gonna win there, but I picked Oblivion besides I couldn't stand the thought of SMRPG losing. Dang it, the reverse jinxes always work (good for my tastes, bad for my bracket)! Anyone besides me pick both Super Metroid and Dark Souls? --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

I think this contest is showing what divisions by era and fourways hid. This is what I think too, and many of us assumed that new games were all strong because they were close to each other. If FFX hasn't dropped, and is actually worth 55% on MMX, that drags everything from GotD down accordingly. --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
you can look at it either way really (obscured strength vs. a boost). either way they're way outperforming what we knew. --- xyzzy |
KamikazePotato posted... Karma Hunter posted...I can't even fathom Galaxy being the Guru favorite here So? The snes mario kart is insanely loved. Please tell me you arent equating super mario kart with the modern new ones?? Smk would beat a ton of games in this contest. Including the galaxies --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |

wtf was that? ppl really rallying LttP? --- >_______________> |

nvm i think ff4 just died on that update.. --- >_______________> |
transience posted... you can look at it either way really (obscured strength vs. a boost). either way they're way outperforming what we knew. Super metroid should beat galaxy in any contest. We dont know anything except the dodgy xstats. 2009 was terrible because of generation bracket layout. But a super popular snes game beating a wii game should be expected. In when wii was in its orime. Super should get 52-53 on galaxy --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |

Well looks like I'm on the leaderboard guys. ...on my alt (Nanako_Dojima) that is. When making the bracket on that alt, I literally spent 2-5 minutes on the entire thing with the motto of "pick nostalgia anytime a match is even remotely close." If I took that bracket even remotely seriously, I could be even higher, as that resulted in a few really dumb picks imo(mainly Xenogears > KOTOR and Goldeneye > Skyrim) Meanwhile my "real" bracket backed with the power of careful consideration and knowledge of statistics is sitting pretty at 88, and it's only got 2/4 right today as well it looks like (as compared to 3/4 on my alt's bracket). Just goes to show how useful those things actually were to me. --- This was my signature, but Raytan, 2013 Guru champion, took it away. |

I
hate to bring 'characters vs. games' into this, but are there any
strong characters from a series with only one popular game, where that
one game isn't strong? --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |

I can understand that for other series, but this is Zelda. I would have no problem believing it's another exception and its performances are legit. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
Also
unlike lttp and crono and other snes games, ffiv probably was played by
more people in recent times than back in the snes day. Since theres
sequels and releases everywhere --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
WarThaNemesis2 posted... I hate to bring 'characters vs. games' into this, but are there any strong characters from a series with only one popular game, where that one game isn't strong? Best examples I can think of are Dante and Ness, though I don't think either of those quite fit for different reasons. --- This was my signature, but Raytan, 2013 Guru champion, took it away. |
I originally had Super Metroid > Galaxy, based off Super Metroid struggling with SMK, and Mario > Samus. And in what universe does a Mario game struggle with Mario Kart of all things? I guess the main thing to take out of all of this is Old > New. Team Rocket Elite posted... KamikazePotato posted...So...next contest let's get in Super Mario Kart. My gut tells me Mario Kart 64 would be stronger. Hard to tell because they've both only ever been in 4 ways --- My butt was devastated by raytan. 3DS FC: 4725-7987-5535 (edited 11/25/2015 9:50:44 PM)report |
Link's Awakening was THE Game Boy game pre-Pokemania. It wouldn't surprise me at all for it to turn out to be very strong. --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
WarThaNemesis2 posted... I hate to bring 'characters vs. games' into this, but are there any strong characters from a series with only one popular game, where that one game isn't strong? What do you mean by strong? I can several characters who are stronger than their games. Dante and ryu(street fighter) being two. But maybe sonic % wise. Hes usually a noble 9. None of his games would be top 20 --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
jacko_vdz posted... I originally had Super Metroid > Galaxy, based off Super Metroid struggling with SMK, and Mario > Samus. Smk had no competition. Diddy kong was far superior to mk64. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
Link's Awakening's not gonna be trash, but fourways in general aren't reliable and I really
distrust non-Pokemon handheld games. Plus MMX got 44% on it even then -
I'd be very wary of it being able to stave off the upset in a pure 1v1. Also, "it's Zelda" doesn't always work. Skyward Sword would have flat-out embarrassed itself this contest just like SSB4 and the Galaxies have. Link's Awakening is in another league when it comes to its high regard, sure, but that isn't gonna save it from that handheld quasi-apathy come 1v1 I don't think. e: Oh right, MMX had to deal with FFVI, a much bigger SNES game, breathing down its neck in that match. Yeah, I take it with confidence. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. (edited 11/25/2015 9:55:49 PM)report |
I
think you're underestimating Link's Awakening. that game is probably on
the level of a Wind Waker or just a little bit below it. I don't think
it's a fourway fraud or anything like that. --- xyzzy |
I don't trust Wind Waker either! Everything from GOTD is suspect why did they even let non 90s games into this contest --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
This
is really weird. SM vs. SMG is almost perfectly mirroring Mario vs.
Samus. It's as if Samus had been planning out her revenge since 10
years ago. =P --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |
Would you consider any Kirby game strong at all? --- Dr voltchball - best in the world. raylan is awesome |
Dr_Football posted... Would you consider any Kirby game strong at all? Super Smash Bros. Melee --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
I
mean I think FFVI is just going to smash Wind Waker down and make it
look weaker than Link's Awakening looked in the fourways against it. So
there's that. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Also I think the only Kirby game to ever be in a contest was Superstar, and it was in a fourway with Mario 64, so 'who knows'. --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
I'm
not saying it's strong just because it's Zelda. Skyward Sword might
have embarrassed itself but that possibility is clear from people's
reception to the game. LA is far more highly regarded which meshes with
the strong performance it showed. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
Great to see LTTP domination after Ocarina's disappointing result yesterday. Kind of a shame it ends up getting fed to OOT. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
yeah, Wind Waker loses to FF6. no shame in that - I think FF6 is a top 7 game right now. --- xyzzy |
I
don't just think WW is going to lose, I think it's going to get its
face kicked in, much worse than any of the times Link's Awakening faced
FFVI. That doesn't mean that it's weaker than LA. I don't think Link's
Awakening has the slightest prayer of matching the numbers it hung on
FFVI back then in 1v1 either. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |

are you thinking 60%+? --- xyzzy |
Sub-Zero
has generally been pretty legit despite how weak his series is. Mortal
Kombat was basically at the fodder-line even in 2004. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
