Syndra's total pandering to my tastes, but unlike a lot of league champions they go totally over the top about it and it actually works for me. So yeah she might be my favorite too. Her only weakness is her in game default splash art is pretty terrible. But like, the base design is good as your fanart shows. And yeah I'd totally have bought her star guardian skin if I hadn't boycotted buying League Skins and if I still played the game more than once every few months

Unless the influence directly bleeds into the product and taints it to a point where I'm not enjoying it, no. Outrage culture only rewards people who are better at covering up the bad stuff they do. I think the positive spin of maybe going out of your way to support companies or developers that are known to do good things is the right way of it.

You know I got to thinking about it after seeing a clip of the stupid thing on Smackdown.

That whole "you are the authority" promo it reminds me a ton of those old "we're going to turn this company around" promos when WCW and TNA were on the huge downturn.

I guess the big difference will be if they don't repeat that same promo every few months going forward.

02 is still notable yeah dont get me wrong. and makes 03 that much more infamous by existing but I just think 03 was ultimately the more important match even if it couldn't exist as it was without 02. Which I admit makes it tricky to place.

It's kinda like the same idea that you couldn't have L-Block finals without L-Block getting through earlier rounds. It's still the final that's most important, even though it can't exist without gaining momentum in earlier rounds.

I'd imagine Sacred Stones has gained popularity mostly because it shares a lot of concepts with the DS games like random encounters, branching class promotes, being able to grind, even being easier in general. So it probably ends up being one of the higher tier ones for people who started with Awakening or Fates.

Meanwhile the purists who didn't like that stuff don't hate on it as much cause the DS games are bigger targets

Zidane almost assuredly beats Master Hand in 05. Kuja was always going to be a pretty weak villain. Especially in 05. Thonghate was a lot more real those days. It was a different time.

If anything I feel like Master Hand was as much a warning sign for L-Block as Smashfear. I'm sure a lot of his suppprt back then was from "LOL IT'S A GLOVE" rather than Smash support.

Samus Mario aside your top 10 is good. I probably put the top 10 at something like...

10. Mario/Samus (2005)
9. Link/Crono/Vincent/Zero (2007)
8. Starcraft/Melee (Spring 2004)
7. Final Fantasy VII/Ocarina of Time (Spring 2004)
6. Draven/Link/Shepard (2013)
5. Starcraft/Wind Waker (Spring 2004)
4. Mario/Cloud (2002)
3. Mario/Crono (2003)
2. L-Block/Link/Cloud/Snake (2007)
1. Cloud/Link (2003)

Other things of note.

Highest Master Chief 07 match would be much higher. Definitely top 25. Also would've probably picked r2 or r3 rather than r1.

Probably Ansem/CATS and Kuja/Hand on there. Definitely snubs imo. Maybe Trainers v Ryu/Ken too as the one token Rivalry Rumble match worth mentioning.

Less 2015 and 2018 in general. 2013 really felt like the final hurrah for these contests for me. 2015 just felt like a footnote, and 2018 will soon too. Once you can turn a 65-35 with only like 8000 votes these things feel kinda unimportant in general.

Mario/Crono 02 is somewhere in the next few. I feel like 03 is the one people always talk about and what made it a real rivalry and 02 is just kinda the necessary first in the series, but *shrug maybe I'm wrong. I wasn't here till 2004 after all.

Your numbers would probably be closer to realistic if there were like 12 valid problems and 1 hyperbolic one rather than 6 and 7. Most complaints I've read from sources that aren't YouTube comment pages are generally worth complaining about.

Sometimes if there is excessive complaining it's due to excessive mistakes. You being more forgiving doesn't change that.

I wouldn't say the women's revolution is the same as Almas at all

The women's revolution they at least never stopped trying

Almas they're not actually trying to do anything so saying to wait and see is dumb. Like if waiting and seeing eventually works it's not because we should've given them a chance to give him something to do it's because they randomly decided to do something. Which isn't what wait and see is for. You might as well say wait and see for someone who doesn't even work for the WWE getting something because hell, who knows, they might hire them!

Starcraft vs Wind Waker is the match that made me come to this board because I was so hyped to see Starcraft beat ZELDA. I think that Carriers Have Arrived picture is probably what made me stay.

What a glorious match. Possibly cheating, sure, but to me it's not suspicious enough on its face that I can just come out and say "yeah that's nonsense" with the data we have-- looks like a fairly organic rally to me.

I only feel you should say wait and see if it's doing well now and people are being negative about the future or you have the foundation laid out that indicates storylines might develop in a cool way and people are negative about the now cause the now sucks.

Like if you're saying wait and see about something that is currently bad and has no direction to speak of like Almas it's like "why are you giving them the benefit of a doubt here?" Being positive is fine but if you're giving them the benefit of a doubt when they've provided literally nothing in terms of the now to think they should get one like with Almas it feels more like you've been brainwashed by WWE than you're being positive.

Losing matches is fine if they're doing anything in storyline to compensate

I think that's a detail that is often forgotten

If you're just a guy who appears and loses every week it does no good. Winning every once in a while is okay because you don't tune out their matches

Basically you need a reason to pay attention to the guy. Either because you're invested in the character, or because the result of his matches aren't a mortal lock. The first is preferable but if you can't build the character at all getting a win every once in a while can help.

Even assuming that, do we have reason to believe this site has stopped caring about those two games? Being from the 90s is largely a positive on this site.


I don't believe the site has stopped caring about Mario Kart or Mario Kart 64, nor do I believe any releases since have moved the needle much

I don't believe the site has stopped caring about Mega Man 2-5, nor do I believe any releases since have moved the needle much

Or in other words I see no real reason to expect the matchup to change much since 2006.

Well, I'm not saying that evil things can't love, just that the fact that he sacrificed something he loved for the sake of his goal to me is a sign that it's not as simple as disregarding the value of life as much as thinking this goal is so good as to be worth sacrifices, and that he is willing to make them as well.

But yeah I'm also not saying it's neutral because it's half and half as a copout. I'm saying it's neutral because the goal is (theoretically) good and the killing is efficient obstacle removal. If he could as efficiently achieve his goal by ways of diplomacy, I have no reason to think he wouldn't. An evil person would more likely gain some sort of pleasure from the killing, or kill for trifling reasons. If your goal is the prosperity of the universe though? There's something to spin there.

Now it's a lot of killing so I can respect calling him evil just for that. I also think that giving people prosperity without asking for their input or anything on the costs also leans him that way, perhaps even moreso than the killing itself. But I think it's a bit more complicated than "he killed therefore he is evil."

"Best controls in gaming"? Come on bro, don't insult my intelligence.


Dante and X-Box Ryu Hayabusa are the only two that come close to being as satisfying to use for me. Definitely my favorite to use as far as 2D controls go. I'm not saying everyone has to agree with this outright but if you say he controls poorly I'm inclined to think you just get hit and want to blame it on the control. If you're good with Richter you will never get hit. Straight up. There is no blaming the control there.

And hell don't mistake this as elitism because you don't even have to be that good with him if you're liberal with item crashes. Like I'm not even saying Richter Mode is challenging because if you abuse the hell out of those you can clear it in quite literally a few minutes, but for someone like me who wants to test the limits of the character and stuff because he enjoys playing him, being able to dodge literally any attack in the game is very satisfying.
