| LinkMarioSamus 09/14/17 1:25:04 PM #377 | Advokaiser posted... What's all the fuss about Resident Evil 4 for the Gamecube? Was the PS2 version somehow worse, or do people just forget that it was multiplatform for some reason? It was a GameCube exclusive at first (lol-worthy in light of how many ports the game has gotten since), and the PS2 version had more content at the expense of worse graphics and pre-rendered cutscenes in place of the real-time ones from what I've heard. Then the Wii version was the best of both worlds. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |

| LinkMarioSamus 09/14/17 11:22:13 AM #369 | I played 64 and Sunshine back-to-back and thought Sunshine was an improvement in many ways. Probably a reason why it took me almost a whole year to 100% 64 but I completed Sunshine in two months. And 64 is my favorite Mario game. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |

| LinkMarioSamus 09/12/17 6:22:52 AM #354 | Fallout 3 might be a little weaker now but I doubt it's by much. From what I've heard Fallout 4 is even more polarizing than 3 was. Does Fallout 3 still defeat Metroid Prime? I'd say no given Skyrim barely skirted by. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |

I was thinking about this and the closest thing I can think of is like Captain America or something, but those moves don't tend to be loved, they're just money machines, which is a bit different. I've heard plenty of bad stuff about LOTR, but I think I know what you mean. I used to watch the trilogy every year hoping I'd get into it. Then I gave the trilogy a break in 2014 and came back in late 2015 and early 2016 and finally managed to really enjoy it. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |

| LinkMarioSamus 09/06/17 10:47:59 AM #324 | If Cloud can lose to Squirtle the answer is yes. But which one though? The obvious answer based on 2013 is Snake, but that series' popularity has seemingly eroded. Mario didn't do too well, Samus couldn't break 60% on one of the supporting cast of Cloud's game... Also wait, how do we know that Mario 64 is the strongest Mario game? Good for me at least since that is probably my favorite Mario game! --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |

| LinkMarioSamus 08/24/17 7:00:13 AM #291 | Haste_2 posted... Okay, I meant to suggest just ONE match per day. That way, rally spillover is limited. And yes, 24 hour matches would not limit rallies, but they limit spillover. It was spillover that screwed the 2015 games contest. How? I can't think of a single result that would have been different without rallies. Also, I understand that a lot of us are disappointed that we won't get contests the traditional way again. But once you get past that, what's really wrong with rallying? --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |

I was thinking Jules Winnfield (Sam Jackson was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars).

| Topic | KCF's Top 40 JRPGs |
| LinkMarioSamus 08/20/17 7:49:51 AM #114 | Can't say I've ever really been interested in Paper Mario. First off, it feels like JRPGs are more tailored towards hardcore gamers (admittedly Paper Mario seems to be an exception), and I haven't been much into gaming these past few years. Second, I am simply interested in RPGs with more "intense" subject matter like Final Fantasy, although I get the feeling that my time to play those games have passed (they seem tailored towards teenage audiences). Skies of Arcadia interests me because I like that general high-adventure vibe, but the game has not seen a re-release in over a decade. I've tried playing Super Mario RPG in the past and I always put the game down without finishing it. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |

| LinkMarioSamus 08/11/17 6:18:43 AM #225 | KamikazePotato posted... SotC/MGS3 is completely irrelevant except in terms of managing how much a bandwagon can affect things. When it's not trying to solo the entire series, SotC is pretty much equal to MGS2. So RE4 > MGS1? I can get behind that. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
| Topic | Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1276 |
| LinkMarioSamus 08/10/17 5:02:01 PM #222 | Plus silly stuff naturally happening late in contests. Just for the heck of it, I took the GOTD x-stats and adjusted Fallout 3's result on Brawl by 5%. That resulted in Fallout 3 being about equal to Kingdom Hearts II and Metroid Prime being slightly stronger than the original Kingdom Hearts. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |
| Topic | Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1276 |
| LinkMarioSamus 08/10/17 1:15:28 PM #217 | But it got completely destroyed in that match. Yet it has performed much better in later contests. Maybe in 4-ways the later Nintendo games always got screwed over by having to share polls (see: Brawl destroying MGS4 in round 3 before losing to it the very next round when Twilight Princess entered the picture). Perhaps it's best not to make sense out of 4-ways lol. It has seriously been a decade since the debut of that format. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |

| Topic | Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1276 |
| LinkMarioSamus 08/08/17 1:41:53 PM #199 | LeonhartFour posted... Metal Gear Solid looked about the same as it always has, honestly. The games have never been as strong as Snake himself. MGS1 narrowly beat FFT and got 70/30'd by FFVII in the original Games Contest. Wasn't FFT much stronger back then than it has been since? And the FF7 loss was probably SFF. Direct extrapolation has MGS2 beating 1. Maybe we all just expect the MGS games to be stronger because of how highly-regarded they are plus Snake's contest strength. I remember until Prime's showing in GOTD a lot of us were surprised that no Metroid game seemed to have much strength. I can't be the only one surprised that Samus has looked stable in spite of her series going dormant for a while. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |

| LinkMarioSamus 08/08/17 1:35:48 PM #198 | FFX would have probably won that match in the late '00s. Now it's probably a 55-45 win for VI. --- "Nothing I could do!" -Darksydephil |

Actually Fallout 1 has never been in a contest. Fallout *2* made Spring '04. Also, Advance Wars did make GOTD and managed to avoid a tripling from GSC.
