Master Moltar 04/01/20 2:24:40 PM #437:	Round 1 Persona 4 Golden vs. FTL: Faster Than Light Moltars Analysis Well if RE2 and DOOM are any inclination, remakes are going to be looking good this contest. P4G is a Vita port of the original, so the big question is if fans of the original P4 are going to still support it even if they might not have played that specific version (spoilers i am). In a case like this, where the opponent is a small time indie game, then yeah, the Persona name should carry it through this match. Moltars Bracket: Persona 4 Golden Moltars Prediction: Persona 4 Golden 77% ____________________________________________________________________________ transiences Analysis Persona 4 Golden is the wrench that's thrown into this division. On strength alone, P4 probably wins this division, but there's that Golden part to consider. We'll have to go deep to understand if that matters or not, but based on what happened with RE2 I'm inclined to say that it won't hurt much until we get to decent competition. FTL isn't decent competition. It's better than Inside, but it's not better than Bastion or VVVVVV. This result could look similar to the RE2/Danganronpa matchup. P4 doesn't have the same playership that Resident Evil can claim, but it's probably more liked overall as it fits more into this site's demographics. transience's prediction: Persona 4 Golden with 77.33% ____________________________________________________________________________ Leonharts Analysis Persona 4 Golden is one of the biggest wild cards in this contest. Persona 4 at the peak of its strength could win this division, but what will the voters think of Golden? This isnt a remake like Resident Evil 2 or Pokemon HG/SS, and the original game isnt from this decade. Ive heard multiple complaints from people on the board saying Persona 4 Golden shouldnt even be allowed in the contest because it doesnt qualify. How many voters will hold the same mindset? How many voters will just treat Golden as a proxy for the original? After all, the game is a Vita exclusive, which means a large chunk of the site has probably never played it. In Game of the Year polls, ports and remakes tend to do considerably worse than the original, but this is honestly the first time weve seen them in a contest, so theres no telling what to expect here. Regardless, Persona 4 Golden shouldnt have any troubles in round 1. FTL has gained some momentum in recent years, but its still a real-time strategy game and GameFAQs doesnt like those so much. Like the previous match though, Im unsure how high you can reasonably expect Golden to go here. Persona 4 got 77% on 999 in 2015, so the original is at least capable of getting that high if FTL is that weak, but Im not totally sure it is or if Golden can take on the strength of the original! Leonharts Vote: Persona 4 Golden Leonharts Prediction: Persona 4 Golden with 71.39% ____________________________________________________________________________ Kleenexs Analysis Persona 4 being in this bracket feels really weird to me. I dont think Golden is that much of a different game to allow it to cheat its way into this decade, but here we are. Im going to assume that Golden maintains the strength that base Persona 4 has in these contests - I dont see too much reason why it would change too much one way or the other (and for those unsure, that strength is actually not that much). THAT BEING SAID. Persona 5 came out since the last games contest, and Persona as a whole seems to be a tad more popular than it was 5 years ago, even if Joker couldnt beat Claire Redfield. I feel like Im getting long-winded for no reason. Persona 4 is going to win this match. FTL is cool and all, but Persona shouldnt have any trouble. Im more interested to see how it handles the rest of this division, because looking forward, there are a lot of weak or ripe to flop games in its path, and P4 is exactly the kind of game that could take advantage. Kleenexs Prediction: Persona 4 Golden with 68.75% ____________________________________________________________________________ Guests Analysis - Hbthebattle P4G is probably the "deserving" game here, given that it's essentially a port of a 2008 game. Regardless, it's going to completely destroy FTL, which is a relatively unknown indie. Persona 4 proved against 999 that it can dole out super-high beatdowns and fodder games have been regularly trashed in this contest. It's going to be a beatdown. Persona 4 - 80.1% ____________________________________________________________________________ Crew Consensus: FTL is outta here in light speed. --- Moltar Status: hype Contest Analysis Crew Archives: http://thecrew.speedrunwiki.com/ <cite>Master Moltar posted [p:936600284] in Game of th...
