and smash says hey! I can jump too! You felt your sins weighing on your neck. |
it is baffling to me that MK11 made it over MKX or MK9, MK11 sold well but i didnt see nearly as much buzz when it came out (|| ' ' ||) drooling while eating . /|_|\ |
I
don't really know if Tekken 7 could pull it off head to head but a
point in its favor is that people don't really like MK11 much. It was an
odd pick for the bracket since MK9 is more popular and eligible. Mario
is going to be the worst opponent for a game that's trying to get by on
name brand rather than quality. Link isn't the only one who kicks ass. Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Contest! |
MechanicalWall posted... So is Tekken really stronger than Mortal Kombat now? Those R1 matches were the real reason I picked Mario in my second bracket, two fighting games is as direct competition as you getNo. Nintendo has a very goofy history when in a poll against itself and the results don't like to be transitive at all. Case in point, a lot of us were dumb and thought Pokemon could beat Majora's Mask because of it.

RBY would probably still take Majora now. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2020 Guru contest winner. |
Scorpion
and Subzero have always done decent in character battles though, while
Tekken hardly gets reps in at all. That's pretty much anyone has to go
on considering neither MK or Tekken got in the 2010 or 2015 games
contests. I'll take it though. It gives me consolation that this site prefers the better series. If
you're only on this board to whine about "SJWs", please redirect

LeonhartFour posted... Mortal Kombat isn't popular beyond the first threeMaybe, but is any Tekken game as popular as those early MKs? I gotta give MK the overall series edge, and that's part of the reason I give Odyssey the edge with regards to those earlier performances. IMO, it clearly did better in Round 1, and none of Smash's other wins struck me as performances that Odyssey couldn't match (or even outdo). If most people feel the same way (which I obviously can't say to a certainty, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn it), then isn't this rSFF? Yoblazer https://imgur.com/gByqgPg |
I
think this is probably rSFF, but just like in most cases the strength
difference is probably negligible. I don't think Odyssey kills Ultimate
or anything like that. xyzzy |
CaptainOfCrush posted... If most people feel the same way (which I obviously can't say to a certainty, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn it), then isn't this rSFF? why would it be bizarre for one lone Mortal Kombat game to be crap and lose to a Tekken game I've literally never understood why everyone thinks one Tekken game over one Mortal Kombat game seems so impossible |
I entered a bracket for the second chance contest, now it says "you did not enter a bracket for this contest". Metal Gear!? |

GameFAQs would only care about the 16 bit ones, and everything else might as well be interchangable with any other modern fighter. Agent Triple Zero at your service!

What a match! So close! You think FF5 will get past GTAV just in time??? Last finished: Big Adventure of Owata's Life (PC), Blasteroids (ARC), Asteroids (Atari 8 Bit), Space Invaders (NEC PC-98). |
CaptainOfCrush posted... and none of Smash's other wins struck me as performances that Odyssey couldn't match (or even outdo). I mean, Odyssey could probably come close to matching anything Ultimate did but it certainly wasn't going to vastly outperform it also forced voting vastly benefits something like Mario Galaxy 2 looked amazing in round 1 when you had to vote for it against a game people don't know or care about but it comes back to earth when it faces a game people care about don't trust fodder blowouts when voting is forced because people will just settle on the big name |
And
in a broader scale... I think rSFF is probably more common nowadays, or
at least it's a term that needs its meaning modified a bit. If Kirby
blows out fodder harder than Link, would Link's 70/30 on Kirby be rSFF?
Kirby WOULD be indirectly stronger against some opponents, after all. Yoblazer https://imgur.com/gByqgPg |
Well, MK11 had a lot of microtransaction related controversies when it came out, which may have soured people on it. Meanwhile Tekken has Final Fantasy AND Walking Dead reps now, and the average of those three games pull Tekken up. Or something If
you're only on this board to whine about "SJWs", please redirect
whatever you type on to the nearest trash can. And hop in after it. |
I'm still not seeing an argument for rSFF here other than people making way too much of Tekken and Mortal Kombat matches or disrespecting Spidey maybe people were just wrong about them...? |
Man.
This makes even more indies look like garbage. It probably says
something that UT/SK/HK/SMB/BoI/Celeste all look like trash while
Stardew and Minecraft look great despite the former group having more
reasons to click with gamefaqs' base of voters. At least Cuphead has lived up to its pre contest hype so far. |

It probably says something that UT/SK/HK/SMB/BoI/Celeste all look like trash while Stardew and Minecraft look great despite the former group having more reasons to click with gamefaqs' base of voters. Shovel Knight was SFF’d. Literally its worst opponent in the entire contest. Anyway, these matches seem over. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser (edited 5/5/2020 5:39:43 PM) |
LeonhartFour posted... I mean, Odyssey could probably come close to matching anything Ultimate did but it certainly wasn't going to vastly outperform itWhy would you use that word? "Vastly" has nothing to do with it. If Odyssey outperforms Smash at all against a common opponent, and then goes on to lose to Smash, then that is rSFF by the definition we've come to know it for over 15 years. If we want to modify the definition, then that's fine (because we now could be on a site where lesser Nintendo characters might do better against pitiful fodder than Link would).

this
just seems like a 50/50 match that the fanbase was going to back one
way or the other. I don't think there's any reason to be indignant about
it - both games looked about equal, maybe Mario a little bit more, and
Smash is where the fanbase sided. xyzzy |
Eh I'd take MK11 over Tk7 anyday 1vs1. Last finished: Big Adventure of Owata's Life (PC), Blasteroids (ARC), Asteroids (Atari 8 Bit), Space Invaders (NEC PC-98). |
Who wins in Persona 4 Golden vs Persona 5? |
Persona 5 is massively stronger than 4. |
It would have to be a noticeable outperformance for me to chalk it up to anything other than random variance If Odyssey outdoes it by .5% I wouldn't take that to mean it's definitely stronger than Smash indirectly Especially if Smash is going to win this convincingly |

lordjers posted... You think FF5 will get past GTAV just in time??? GTAV is currently winning today's regular poll, and this is after at least one person commented on FF5 winning over GTAV at the time of the post. Since then, GTAV has flipped the tables and has consistently beaten FF5 in all 3 "favorite 5 game" polls. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! |
Xenoblade can't get the kind of clearance I wanted. Persona has beasted all over this contest. Yoblazer https://imgur.com/gByqgPg |
I
was also hoping for a better performance from Xenoblade here. Although,
I think Xenoblade has a good Europe vote so it might improve a bit. Link isn't the only one who kicks ass. Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Contest! |
CaptainOfCrush posted... Xenoblade can't get the kind of clearance I wanted. Persona has beasted all over this contest. This feels like clear proof it SFF'd Three Houses because I can't see RDR or GTAV putting up 56-57% on it. |
MechanicalWall posted... Well, MK11 had a lot of microtransaction related controversies when it came out, which may have soured people on it. Tekken 7 has been killing it in numbers and popularity Fighting Game eSports tournaments. The most popular game consistently outside Smash Ultimate and Street Fighter V. At least year's EVO, MK11 did well but Tekken 7 still outdid it in numbers even though it was MK11's first year. Before EVO got cancelled due to Corona, MK11 wasn't even on the main roster while Tekken 7 was only losing to Smash Ult, Granblue VS and SF5 in numbers I have been more into visual novels and learning Japanese recently. With some fighting games and Switch games on the side. https://twitter.com/superange128 |

What's the argument for rSFF costing SMO this match against SSBU? SSB has been a bigger deal than Mario every generation for the past twenty years and SSBU landed a 1-seed to SMO's 2-seed. The Guru contest was 132-7 in favor of SSBU > SMO, and in the Second Chance BOP it was still 14-5 in favor of SSBU > SMO with an estimate of 52.63%. SSBU also prevented LoZ:LBW -- a Zelda-game that won GotY here -- from rSFF'ing it. In fact, though I thought it was unlikely at the time, it's easy to wonder if SSBU could have even SFF'd LoZ:LBW...it's not like we haven't seen SSB do it before with SSBM > LoZ:WW. I totally agree that MK11 > Tekken 7 was an unexpected surprise, and I think SMO has looked solid all contest. It's possibly the #3 game this contest. However, we really don't know THAT much about these games in this contest, much less this division. We can theorize, but rSFF is a pretty in-depth concept we have only rarely seen if we've ever even seen it at all. My opinion is we're dodging some other truths that would be accepted most places but considered unusual here: Spider-Man was a legit game, Minecraft is a top-tier indie game, and LoZ:LBW wasn't that big of a deal. O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/ssb/images/0/0d/Sheik-Victory3-SSB4.png |
either way looks like everyone underestimated Persona 4 Xenoblade probably wins still, but it will be very close. people were predicting 55%+ |
Aww yeah go spider-man The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history. |
UltimaterializerX posted... How does Europe like Persona compared to Xenoblade?The current map looks like its not that different from the rest of the world. Mind you, Xenoblade was the rare case of a JRPG being released there before the US. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2020 Guru contest winner. |
If
this is rSFF, there's quite a lot of it. As of this post there would
need to be at least 6.5 points of SFF for it to be rSFF. It's certainly
possible but I'm getting the impression that SSBU might actually be the
stronger game. Link isn't the only one who kicks ass. Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Contest! |
