[HEATXZ]

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars and Mega Man Battle Network 6: Gregar :anime:

[cradleman]

hey, a game i know! Sonic Adventure 2 for the win! (well, this match at least)

[jph139]

Jeez, when what's considered the greatest game of the 21st Century (with 39 Game of the Year wins in 2004, Metacritic score of 96%, named Game of the Decade or Greatest Game Ever by at least five separate publications) loses to a mediocre Final Fantasy spin-off, I worry for the future of this competition.

Anyways, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom (a surprisingly competent fighter and one the Wii sorely needed) and Sonic Adventure 2 (perhaps the last truly good Sonic game).

[SpideyFan914]

Mario Kart, OBVIOUSLY!!!!!!!

[Blankments]

I'll vote for Mario Kart Wii and Sonic Adventure 2.

[The Cartoon]

I'll vote for Mario Kart Wii and Sonic Adventure 2.

[Grave]

Jeez, when what's considered the greatest game of the 21st Century (with 39 Game of the Year wins in 2004, Metacritic score of 96%, named Game of the Decade or Greatest Game Ever by at least five separate publications) loses to a mediocre Final Fantasy spin-off, I worry for the future of this competition.

While I've never played either one of those games, I would think it's because very few people here play FPS. It's either portable's or Nintendo. Nothing wrong with that (I personally don't care for either) but, hey, what can you do?

Anyway, Tatsunoko is the only game I can choose. Never played any of the others.

[Gold Guy]

Tatsunoko VS Capcom and Sonic Adventure 2 move on.

The next two matches will be up later.

I'll go with Pokemon Yellow and Chain of Memories.

Pokemon Yellow, one of my favorite pokemon games despite being an early one. And Beatles Rockband. In my opinion, it's the best of all the Guitar Hero and Rock Band games. Love everything about it.

[jph139]

Eh, pretty crappy match, but I'll go with BlazBlue and The Beatles. Won't break my heart to see either fail, though.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is a pretty terrible game by any objective standards, but I enjoy it more than any rhythm games and most Green Day music. And obviously DKC2.

[cradleman]

although the original metroid prime is the superior game(and imo the 2nd best game of all time), that's not a knock on Echoes, as it is a superb sequel and the 2nd best gamecube game i've played behind the original. it needs to advance

First one is pretty obvious - Super Mario Galaxy 2. The second is much tougher, but I'll have to go with The Wind Waker, my favorite Zelda save ALttP. Plus, DKC2 is the better Donkey Kong anywys.

[HEATXZ]

Pokemon Emerald and Donkey Kong Country

[SpideyFan914]

Super Mario Galaxy 2, 'cause I loved the first one and heard the second was more or less just as good.

And Wind Waker, 'cause I love the Zelda games.

Mario Galaxy for the first. Second one is tougher. I'll go with DK Country to tie it up.

X-Men Legends II. it was fun. i really should finish it.

[HEATXZ]

Kingdom Hearts 2 and Super Street Fighter 4 :anime:

[SpideyFan914]

As great as X-Men Legends II was, this a hands-down Kingdom Hearts II. Besides, the first XML was better anyway, and KH2 is.... well, it's choice to win the tourney, so yeah.

[The Cartoon]

Kingdom Hearts II and Phoenix Wright, one of my favorite games ever.

[Superpan]

Kingdom Hearts 2. Because...I actually agree with Spideyfan on something other than our hoped for profession.

Too bad X-Men Legends 2 is going out so early. That was a GREAT game.

[SpideyFan914]

Kingdom Hearts 2. Because...I actually agree with Spideyfan on something other than our hoped for profession.

We agree Billy Wilder's a God, don't we?

[Superpan]

We agree Billy Wilder's a God, don't we?

I think he was a great director. So, if you mean he was a God of directing...then yes. If we're talking about that, then I might say I think we both agree that Stan Lee is a good comic book writer.

Of course, Billy Wilder did make Spirit of St. Louis....so he definitely wasn't infallible.

Tetris and Guitar Hero

[jph139]

Wow, first match is amazingly tough. Tetris is possibly the greatest puzzle game of all time. Metroid Prime is possibly the best video game of the past ten years. I'll hold my vote, there. As for the second, duh, Majora's Mask, Guitar Hero ain't my thing.

[Blankments]

I'll vote for Tetris and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.

[SpideyFan914]

I'll vote Metroid Prime. I don't think I've played, but I hate Tetris. And yet I still play it all the time. It's addicting and evil. To express why I hate Tetris, I will remain in character and provide a College Humor link. LINK! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Alw5hs0chj0)

For the second, Majora's Mask. I couldn't care less about Guitar Hero, and Majora's Mask is fairly underrated.

[cradleman]

Metroid Prime. my 2nd favorite video game (and one i'm actually currently playing on hard mode.) there's just so much to love from the incredible graphics (especially for GC), to the cool and unusual bosses to all the little puzzles and things to scan for, and of course the hugely complex plot so complicated that it takes roughly 15 hours to beat the game when you know what you are doing, and more than 30 first time through, and yet it manages to be awesome the entire damn time? yeah, vote for Metroid Prime.

[The Cartoon]

Tetris is more iconic than Metroid, so I'll go with that. And Guitar Hero since it's awesome and probably doesn't stand a chance.

[Six Year Man]

Tetris and Majora's Mask

[Gold Guy]

Tetris and Majora's Mask move on. To be honest, Prime losing is the first big surprise of this competition. The next two matches will be up soon.

Oh crap I forgot to update my vote. Can I force a tie by voting for Prime or is it too late now? :sweat:

[Gold Guy]

...is my favorite SNES game of all time, so, I obviously vote for that. I'll pass on the second, as I've only played bits of both and found them a tad disappointing.

Sims 2 was better than the Sims 3. I'll check to see if that was nominated...

Sims 3 I guess then.

Space Invaders. The second Legends was much better than the first.

Really disappointed Elite Beat Agents, which I can honestly say is the best DS game I own, was beaten by a licensed game. I don't care if it's a good one, Elite Beat Agents is epic.

I'll vote for Space Invaders and Portal (and Portal better win.)

[SpideyFan914]

Gah, first one's impossible!!! I'm gonna go with X-Men Legends by a very slim margin. We've already lost XMLII, and the first one's far superior anyway. I love Space Invaders, though, so I won't mind if it wins.

For the second, Crash Bandicoot, because I actually know what it is.

[jph139]

Space Invaders because it's a classic, and Portal because it's ridiculously awesome and Crash Bandicoot well, let's be honest here, he sucks. I mean, he's a bad Sonic knock-off, and SONIC sucks, so he's like layers of suck piled on top of each other.

In the second, the clear choice is Metroid II. the most complex gameboy game available that i know of, it's a perfect blend of puzzle and fighting. it needs to advance. besides, too many mario games are already through, and sunshine is one of the weakest ever.

Goldeneye in the first. brilliant brilliant brilliant game, the best of all time in my opinion. the game itself is fun, exciting and well developed and the multiplayer is unmatched by any game before or since and is truly addicting.

In the second, i'm gonna have to go with Kirby, though it's tight. Love USM though and won't mind if it advances

Megaman 9 and Kirby's Dream Land

[SpideyFan914]

USM, 'cause it's awesome and I haven't played Kirby. I own the PS2 and DS versions, and love 'em both!

GoldenEye

USM, because Kirby didn't have his "get the powers of the enemy he eats" move in KDL1. I'd hate to not vote for him, but that's the way it is.

Death and Return of Superman because it was one of the more memorable games in my Superman timeline in the DCVGU.

Megaman, and A Link to the Past. I liked Destroy All Monsters though.

[cradleman]

wow, goldeneye out in round 1? for the 9th freakin megaman game? wtf. my video games are dropping like flies. and they will this round too. Death and Return of Superman easily in the first match, it's just a brilliant and addicting super nintendo game that is possibly the best game on that console. in the second, i have to go with Destroy all Monsters Melee. it's tons of fun and the monster fights are staged really well, and i hate Zelda.

Super tough on the first one, because they're both great games, but Pokemon is THE original. And for the second... Kirby's Epic Yarn. Even if it's probably worse, it's still a solid game, and I've gotta go with the original concept over the straight remake.
