I can't see there being noticeable SFF in that match, just an overall
beatdown by LoZ. But, you're the fancy Analysis Crew member and I'm
just the lowly n00b. TuRtLe ~~~ Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

MMX is not going to suffer any notable SFF in that match. Ummm... yes it will. MMX is basically a SNES series. Sure it went on to continue on the Playstation, but outside of X4, its most popular games are all on the SNES. And the majority of its fanbase probably started there. --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

Of course, but people are questioning SFF between them like it has no possibility of happening. MMX is basically a SNES series. --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

Ummm... yes it will. MMX is basically a SNES series. Sure it went on
to continue on the Playstation, but outside of X4, its most popular
games are all on the SNES. And the majority of its fanbase probably
started there. That is absurd. It has three games on a Nintendo platform and every other game on another platform, dominatly the PS brand. It is ridiculous to think there will be some significant SFF because of that. It is not a SNES only series, it is not essentially a Nintendo series. The entire idea of that is stupid. That case works for the original Mega Man because all of its games with the exception of one appear on a Nintendo platform (NES dominantly). Will there be some SFF? Sure. Will it be significant? Not at all. This'll be a blowout anyway, but MMX is not going to get SFFed by any Nintendo series in a notable way. Hell, Zero didn't even receive much SFF against Mario for crying out loud. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

Hell, it's not like Mega Man himself is only represented by the NES. Mega Man is in all of the X games too. He still got SFF'd by Link. Zero didn't get SFF'd as much by Mario, but it still was there. Besides, this is games, not characters. How can you be so adamant about SMW SFFing Sonic 2, yet vehemently deny that LoZ will not be SFFing MMX? --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

HM brings up a good point. Zero did decently against Mario, the king of random SFF. Not that we'll know either way, since it will be pretty much a 75-25 blowout. TuRtLe ~~~ Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

No, Zelda/Link is the king of SFF, not Mario. And I'd wager that Mario overperformed on Zero somewhat. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Roxas, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Mario did overperform, at least based against our pre-match expectations. Everyone was surprised at how easily Mario won. --- Board 8: Where Wii treat each other right. |

much a 75-25 blowout. Zero still did worse than he was expected to. And it's not like Link SFF'd Mega Man to the ground. But we're talking about games. We've seen SMW absolutely thrash Sonic 2, and we've seen OoT destroy Goldeneye, which is probably a good deal stronger than it shows if the Top 100 list is any indication. I seriously doubt the Playstation games will be enough to prevent LoZ making MMX look bad. And remember that MMX is a more popular series than the Mega Man series. It would probably beat a number of series in this contest. With an eminent beatdown from LoZ, that most likely won't be shown in the X-stats. --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

Where the hell do you think most of the people who played those PS
game started? You surely don't think that the Playstation games are
more popular than the SNES games? The PS2 games are irrelevant... do
you think those games really brought new fans to the series? It doesn't
matter that there are more games on the PS. The roots of MMX are on the
SNES. Open your damn eyes. How much the series gets SFF'd is another
story, as the strength of LoZ is already going to be so much over it,
but don't act like the roots of MMX isn't primarily Nintendo... The roots of nearly every franchise today began on a Nintendo platform. It is ludicrous to call Mega Man X a "Nintendo franchise" or expect to get heavily SFFed in the match against Zelda. The fact that it began on a system does not mean the Nintendo fanbase is the one attached to these games. The three Mega Man X games that appeared on the SNES were also ported over to the PSX later on, too. I would fully expect there to be some SFF in this match because of these roots, but on a significant level? Forget that. No Nintendo series is going to "SFF" Mega Man X in a notable manner. Nothing even remotely points to that being the case. Zero is the best representation of the X series in these contests and he isn't getting SFFed by any other Nintendo character in a notable manner. Hell, it's not like Mega Man himself is only represented by the NES. Mega Man is in all of the X games too. He still got SFF'd by Link. Zero didn't get SFF'd as much by Mario, but it still was there. Yes, it was there. I also said there would be some here, too. The difference is that it is not ever going to be on a significant level that makes it worth mentioning. And the amount of SFF Zero received is not really what I would consider notable. It was likely to be about 1%, which could occur in almost any given match. Besides, this is games, not characters. How can you be so adamant about SMW SFFing Sonic 2, yet vehemently deny that LoZ will not be SFFing MMX? Super Mario World and Sonic 2 are a lot more alike than Zelda and MMX. The entire reason I believe that SMW and Sonic 2 featured SFF is because of the fact that they're both really popular platformers from an era when Mario and Sonic were considered pretty big rivals. MMX and Zelda only relate in the fact that they both appeared on the SNES. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

It would probably beat a number of series in this contest. With an
eminent beatdown from LoZ, that most likely won't be shown in the
X-stats. The series it would beat it is still going to be above. It may be a few percentage points off from what it would normally be, but it won't be drastically off. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

Zero is the best representation of the X series in these contests and
he isn't getting SFFed by any other Nintendo character in a notable
manner. Who the hell actually has the PSX ports of the first 3 games? 95% of the fans of the first 3 MMX games probably played them on the SNES, if you don't take into account MMXC. The series wasn't nearly as popular on the PSX as it was for the SNES, and I doubt that those games brought a significant number of fans to the series. The MMX series was one of the top series on the SNES. Can you say the same for the PSX? I really, really doubt that the PSX and PS2 MMX games fanbase is really separate from the SNES games. Those gamers most likely started with the SNES games. Super Mario World and Sonic 2 are a lot more alike than Zelda and MMX. The entire reason I believe that SMW and Sonic 2 featured SFF is because of the fact that they're both really popular platformers from an era when Mario and Sonic were considered pretty big rivals. MMX and Zelda only relate in the fact that they both appeared on the SNES. Please don't play the genre card. It's really a lame argument outside of RPGs. MMX started as a SNES series. A Link to the Past is one of the most popular games on that system. There is bound to be SFF between them. When you try to break down between adventure and action, the genre lines are hardly noticeable as far as having separate fanbases. It's not like either genre is niche by any means. I could see if you were talking about RTS or something. Action and adventure games pretty much appeal to everyone. --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |
