Elden Ring winning easily is unsurprising,
the game is a monster and likely the strongest game since BOTW. Kirby is
the real surprise here though, that has to be the strongest Kirby game. I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh azuarc |
While I don't Arceus has much strength, I would not think grasp graphics had anything to do with it. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to azuarc, the winner of the Game of the Decade II guru contest. |

Kirby is the real surprise here though, that has to be the strongest Kirby game. Well, it's the first Kirby game in forever that Nintendo has given that kind of promotional push, so it's not too surprising to me to see that it's doing relatively well. |

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3460-division-4-round-1-csotn-kirbyss-re-s-mario-64 Oldass poll but I'd take getting quadrupled and SFFed by Mario 64 over getting tripled by Elden Ring. We've also seen a general SNES boost since then and several rereleases. And while it doesn't do well in these for obvious reasons, I think under the circumstances KSS avoids completely embarassing itself in Best Nintendo game for SNES polls: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/4425-what-is-your-all-time-favorite-nintendo-game-on-the-snes https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/8550-what-is-your-all-time-favorite-nintendo-game-on-the-snes [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO Azuarc NO PEACE] |
Witcher 3 would've beaten Smash Ultimate, so Elden Ring definitely can as well. It's Reyn Time. |
It's
hard to get a sense of Kirby Super Star's strength because we've never
seen it in a "fair" fight. It has the advantage of being a 90s SNES
game, but I don't think it's particularly strong. |
KamikazePotato posted... Witcher 3 would've beaten Smash Ultimate, so Elden Ring definitely can as well. BotW SFF'd Smash. Head-to-head, I would take Smash over either of those. ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ |
Brawl didn't get sff'd by Majora's mask tho |

It just still probably has enough to be better than Forgotten Land or any other Kirby game. ...Incidentally, Forgotten Land's position vs. Elden Ring's seems to have deteriorated notably further even just since this morning? That power hour must have been wild. [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO Azuarc NO PEACE] |
Kirby might be the biggest board vote fave outside of something like Phoenix Wright |
What if we had a contest with games AND characters intermingled? "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

It's interesting comparing this to the last poll: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/8778-whats-your-pick-for-the-best-game-of-2022-so-far https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/8868-what-is-your-pick-for-game-of-the-year-for-2022-so-far Looks like Triangle Strategy is the only game to lose %? It's a pretty insignificant amount, tho. Otherwise things are mostly the same, except that the April-June replacements seem to be a bit weaker than the January-March third tier games, which is kinda sad/funny. Not too much should be that strong in the second half of the year, as far as what's announced. I'd guess God of War Ragnarok as #1 and Xenoblade 3 as #2. Not sure whether Xenoblade 3 ends up above Kirby or Pokemon, but I think it will. All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |
plasmabeam posted... BotW SFF'd Smash. Hard to compare that. It was definitely the strongest Smash (proven that contest) against definitely not the strongest Zelda game. I don't think there's a Smash Ultimate match to be taken at face value, the Odyssey match proved it can get the job done when it looks unlikely.

Leonhart4 posted... Link vs. Ocarina of Time in the finals who ya got Well, yeah, I'm mean the final match likely wouldn't be "fun" (it's gotta be Link there) but all that talk about the weak Kirby games, when Kirby the character is pretty strong, just got me thinking. Who ya got: Mario vs Super Metroid Kirby vs Final Fantasy 10 Alucard vs Persona 4 I'm sure you guys who dig more into the numbers could find more interesting/debatable matches. "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |
Characters
vs. Games is such a bizarre concept that I don't think I could really
get into it. I don't even know how to compare which one I'd like better. |
Alucard kills Persona 4. Mario beats Super Metroid too. Last one is hardest because Kirby is pretty unpredictable. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to azuarc, the winner of the Game of the Decade II guru contest. |
Seanchan posted... Who ya got: Mario 65-35 FFX 53-47 Alucard 60-40 ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ |
Who ya got: Luigi vs Castlevania: SotN Bowser vs Dark Souls Tifa vs Majora's Mask Crono vs Super Mario World "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

Yeah, it's bizarre, but it would be tons of fun to predict. Cloud vs. LttP Sonic vs. Witcher 3 Mega Man vs. Chrono Trigger Mario vs. FF7 Squall vs. Xenoblade 1 Pikachu vs. Castlevania: SotN Ganondorf vs. Metroid Prime Tidus vs. Luigi's Mansion 3 Yoshi vs. Tetris Lara Croft vs. Kirby Super Star Tanner vs. Adventure ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ |
Seanchan posted... Luigi vs Castlevania: SotN Luigi 53-47 Bowser 57-43 Majora 55-45 SMW 53-47 ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ |
Yeah
absolutely none of that appeals to me because it's unpredictable for
the wrong reasons. It's unpredictable because you're trying to compare
things that aren't comparable. |
plasmabeam posted... Yeah, it's bizarre, but it would be tons of fun to predict. I love this! This would be a great contest and we wouldn't have to artificially remove a bunch of characters/games because we know the results.

Leonhart4 posted... Yeah absolutely none of that appeals to me because it's unpredictable for the wrong reasons. It's unpredictable because you're trying to compare things that aren't comparable. BOOOOO You're no fun! I mean, how does one really say whether Elden Ring is a better game than Tetris? Or if Bowser is better than Scorpion? I'd take a Character/Game melee over "New Characters Post 16-Bit" or "Best Game Since 2000" or whatever other artificial limitations that have been talked about.

I mean I can easily tell you I like Bowser better than Scorpion I don't even know how to compare something like Ryu vs. Metroid Prime in my own mind (edited 6/29/2022 12:05:35 PM)report |
maybe you're a WEIRDO [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO Azuarc NO PEACE] |
What about 1985 vs Devil May Cry Ace Attorney vs (Jill vs Nemesis) Master Sword vs 2001 Samus vs (Cloud vs Sephiroth) Jane Eyre vs 1984 congrats to azuarc, our GotD2 guru! |
Here are some thoughts I had on characters vs their own games...

Hey
guys while we’re pushing crazy ideas for contests let’s not forget
about that old idea of expanding the character battle to characters that
originated outside games. It's like paying for bubble wrap. -transience on Final Fantasy: All the Bravest |

my favorite soda vs. the Hillary Clinton of Smash Bros. characters huh [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO Azuarc NO PEACE] |
