Hello Hello posted...

Not all opinions are equal. Some are based on people's imaginations (your arguments in favour of ME3) and some are based on evidence (my arguments against ME3).

I really want to believe you don't actually believe what you're saying.

You quoted me to create the illusion that you have a response to something I said when you clearly did not respond to anything you quoted. You have failed to save face.

You cannot think of a single example where a choice you made in any ME game actually mattered. Not one.

That's every time with this double vote crap.
---

Who would have guessed that todays matches would be the ones to bring in the most bad new users
---

Doubled registered votes has very little effect on the final results.
---

Sweet.

Baby.

Jesus.

What the fuck has happened to you, Shepard?

Was Andromeda that, THAT bad?

At least K.Rool has a chance to win a match, I guess.

if ME3 and Andromeda were as good as ME1 and ME2, the series would still be alive and Shepard would still be relevant.

I mean

ME3 > ME2 > MEA > ME1

Whoooooa this opinion
---

people have really soured on ME, Andromeda got SHIT on

like, you may think the reception was bad

it was so much worse than you could ever think

probably the worst launch of a game ever IMO (maybe SimCity)

at the time EA hatred was at an all-time high (it still is)

Shepard is kind of the poster child for EA fucking up companies and franchises
---

So wait, K. Rool isn't getting a rally somehow? And he's still winning against Shepard at the moment?

I'm not complaining, because K. Rool is awesome. But even in the SmashFAQs era, I have a hard time taking this match at face value.

Has a first game that exists, is fodder, has a good second game, becomes decent, completely collapses after that.

Am I talking about Nathan Drake or Commander Shepard?

I'm glad I impressed you.

Andromeda was flawed, I won't deny that, but I thought there was potential that will now never be realized.

He says, as Draven gets antivoted to almost single digits.

G-Gordon Freeman?

Yeah Draven got a whole 1 less percent from registered users.

Drake lost to CATS

Shepard lost to Magus

your choice as to which was worse

Worse launch than No Man's Sky?

To quote FFD on why Nathan Drake would lose to The Boss:

He got doubled by CATS.

He got 1 percent more, actually!
---

hmmmm, maybe No Man's Sky is worst Indie Launch and ME:A is worst AAA launch
---

probably wishful thinking...but I am hoping Cloud has gotten a massive Smash boost and is at Link's level now. That would make up for all the Smash-characters dominance so far in the contest.
---

Wow.

Obvious Bacon wanted rally FAQs to happen again stacking the deck for Draven like that.
---

can't say you can find an entire pallet of No Man's Sky at GoodWill

Top 3 Worst Launches

1. SimCity

2. No Man's Sky

3. Mass Effect: Andromeda

Anyone who thinks SimCity isn't the worst launch period of at least the modern era was not around when that game launched.

Ryu's performance today doesn't inspire confidence in this.
---

The SimCity launch was the worst launch since the Sega Saturn, a launch so bad that it caused multiple retailers to pull everything Sega from their shelves.
---

i'd also like to add "Animal Crossing amiibo Festival" to the list of bad launches

so bad it killed amiibos

you can still find AC amiibos stinking up clearance bins all over
---

Commander Shepard is a woman. I do not know who that guy in the front page is.
---

I'm gonna admit I forgot Diablo 3 existed.

Can you really count AC Amiibo Festival when it was so inconsequential? The only affect it had was on amiibo store shelve space, and at least for Gamestop and Best Buy, that recovered. (Walmart and Target took amiibo mostly online.)

Oh damn, same here.

Maybe slot it in ahead of Mass Effect Andromeda for #3.
---

No matter what, I'm proud of my boy K. Rool for doing so well. Thought he'd lose this but he's ahead by a slim margin. Trading back and forth. One of the closest matches I've ever seen.

Alexa, play Gang-Plank Galleon.
---

Shepard-Commander what was that update
---

Shepard is taking heavy cannon fire.

K Rool got a smash ball

He's getting in the Blast-O-Matic!

BAH GAWD KING, SHEPARD HAD A FAMILY

What the
When I asked if K Rool has a non zero chance I really didn't believe he could pull it off
---

Ranticoot posted...

as of that last direct we have 54 characters in the bracket that appear in Smash Ultimate in some fashion

Aside from the playable characters there's Zero, Knuckles, Master Hand, Shantae, Big Boss, Alucard, Bomberman, Shadow, Isaac, Guile, Metal Sonic, Shovel Knight, Captain Toad, Waluigi, Tails, Geno, Ocelot and X.

Who the heck isn't in the Nintendo Family at this point

55 -- Metal Man was a Spirit.
---

This is a legitimately insane result, one of the craziest I've ever seen here. Even if Shepard ends up having the upper hand later, this was not meant to be close.

Round One's most shocking upset couldn't have been given to a better character, though. Hail to the king baby!

it's been a while since I've been able to post an honest to goodness Boscopinion'd
---

if K. Rool wins after Dedede loses I will be somewhat put off
---

I chose K Rool without a second thought because of Andromeda and smash being a double whammy against shepard

i didn't realize this was actually a surprising result >_>
---

Diablo 3 is pretty good now. If they'd stalled the game like 5 years and pre-patched all the ideas added over time at launch it would've been regarded as a worthy successor to Diablo 2.

Even I won't defend its launch though yikes.
---

Well let's hope it follows Dedede/Ocelot trends
---

what did K. Rool do to this topic
