Division 5: Round 1 - Match 37 – (3) Xenoblade Chronicles vs. (14) Donkey Kong Country 2 Moltar’s Analysis Alright, time for the toughest 8-pack in the contest. Sure, SOTN is the favorite to escape it, but there’s lots of potential for an upset, especially in this fourpack. Xenoblade is the favorite going into the match. Yeah, it’s new, but it has a very rabid fanbase. It reminds me of a weaker P4, which has also exploded in popularity recently. Plus, Smash exposure has also given the series some mainstream appeal. DKC2 is the classic though. It’s the old-school, it’s the nostalgia. So far, that has been the safe bet in the contest. We haven’t really seen the dynamic play out like it does here. Usually, it’s the beloved old RPG vs the newer more mainstream game. Here, we’ve got the beloved new RPG against the popular old game. I think Xenoblade's devoted fanbase will help it get by here, as DKC2 is a well-known, but not super loved game here, especially looking at its older polls. Moltar’s Bracket: Xenoblade Chronicles Moltar’s Prediction: Xenoblade Chronicles – 52% Transience’s Analysis DKC2 always feels like it should be more popular than it is. Polls show that it's weak across the board but there's lots of reasons to question that: it's a well-known series with a lot of really serious fans. If you think Xenoblade is cult garbage, DKC2 isn't the worst pick. But I think Xenoblade is pretty legit. That game is adored. It's basically the new Persona 4 in terms of fandom and it's got a sequel out in three weeks. Its downside has been that it's hard to find and that it came out late in the Wii's lifecycle - but hey, so did DKC2 with the SNES. Anything that came out after Chrono Trigger just seems too late. It came out after the PS1. I don't think it hit enough people. You need a lot of people in front of a merely 'good' platformer to resonate with a large chunk of this site. Xenoblade is way more up our alley and has shown that it's not garbage. I trust that it'll put DKC2 away. transience's prediction: Xenoblade Chronicles with 57.77% Leon’s Analysis Man, I want DKC2 to win here so badly. I wanted to pick it, but I couldn’t get past its previous results. I know there are good explanations to excuse them away, but those are still some pretty bad performances. Xenoblade isn’t exactly a bastion of strength itself though. It may have beaten out Mass Effect 3 in GOTY, but we saw, even before the rally kicked in, ME3 wasn’t exactly putting up an impressive number on Undertale. If DKC2 was going to pull off an upset against a high seed, it got the right opponent because Xenoblade is almost certainly the weakest 3 seed in the bracket. It may have gotten a lot of publicity, but it’s still a hard to find game (for less than 100 bucks anyway) that came out really late (in America) in the Wii’s lifespan. Xenoblade characters looked awful in the last Character Battle (Not that Diddy has ever looked good, even when he had Brawl behind him). Old vs. new battles have tended to favor the old… Okay, I’ve talked myself into it because why not. Fanboyism ahoy! Cue up Bramble Blast! Leonhart’s Vote: Donkey Kong Country 2 Leonhart’s Prediction: Donkey Kong Country 2 with 50.75% --- Moltar Status: hype Contest Analysis Crew Archives: http://thecrew.speedrunwiki.com/ |
Kleenex’s Analysis I didn’t even think twice when predicting this match and I still don’t think it’s going to be that close. Xenoblade isn’t a huge powerhouse or anything, but Donkey Kong is just downright bad at everything. SFF be damned, DKC2 flopped horrendously in 2009 and DKC1 didn’t do much better. Xenoblade is pretty well loved among people that have played it, and since it came out it’s getting a sequel (next month!) and Shulk was in Smash 4. It’s also a much better game than that monkey nonsense.

Xenoblade is the clear board favorite, yet DKC2 seems to have some meaningful support. Let's look at the stats: The first three links shows a clear pattern: when facing strong Nintendo opposition, Donkey Kong Country games fold, and fold hard. It's simply not one of the most popular nintendo series. The reason everyone is distrusting DKC2 is that is has zero contest story to back it having any kind of strength, and the past few years don't provide any reason for it to become stronger. I find that curious though, since DKC2 seems to be one of the most popular games on SNES, according to most people I've talked to. It is the best DKC according to those, and many regard it as fondly as Super Mario World, if not more. The GameFAQs community is a different animal though, and a platformer like DKC2 has to compete in popularity with the Zeldas and Final Fantasies. It's hard for a platformer not called Mario to beat all the RPG and RPG-like games this site loves. But let's look at Xenoblade. The first data I could find is the 2013 contest, where Shulk from Xenoblade lost to Altair and Ratchet (a.k.a. Mr. Receiver of the Biggest Blowout in the Contest). That looks bad. There is also GOTY 2012, where it struggles to take 3rd place from The Walking Dead, in a poll I keep hearing was one of the weakest GOTY polls in history. Which brings me to the next point: How many people have played Xenoblade? I keep hearing it has a low playrate, and I believe it. It's an RPG that came late on the Wii, when most people had abandoned it. It had a strong campaign to bring it to the west, but after that campaign I kind of stopped hearing anything about it. It is from the same series of Xenogears, a game that made a lot of people lose bracket points this year, which could suggest the series' strength is being overrated. I think this game has a more rabid fanbase, even more than anything DKC2 has, but the playrate cannot be higher. Will RPG-faqs triumph over a game that is simply more known? I have DKC2 in my bracket, as a mix of fanboy pick and smelling an upset. It will all depend on the gap between the playrate of the two games. In the current format, a known game like DKC2 could draw a lot of apathy votes to it. Who knows, maybe it could even Nintendo-SFF Xenoblade. Or be SFF'd by it, since DKC loves to disappoint against other Nintendo games. DKC2 - 53% Xenoblade Chronicles - 47% Crew Consensus: Xenoblade the slight favorite to win here --- Moltar Status: hype Contest Analysis Crew Archives: http://thecrew.speedrunwiki.com/ |
Chances are what I wrote is probably a load of BS. But I couldn't resist such a sexy upset. Go DKC2! |
It's
definitely possible for DKC2 to win. Much like Banjo (we'll get to that
one later tonight!), it's never gotten a fair fight in these contests. --- http://img.imgcake.com/whatisurnameplz/kermitgifre.gif Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
Division 5: Round 1 - Match 38 – (6) Fire Emblem: Awakening vs. (11) Super Mario Maker Moltar’s Analysis And now we’ve got less beloved new RPG vs less popular new game! This fourpack! New Mario is no classic Mario, as we’ve seen the strength of the older Mario games compared to Sunshine, NSMB, or Galaxy. Super Mario Maker is the newest in the series, having just been released a few months ago. It’s a popular streaming game, but hasn’t really made an impact like the older ones, or is as highly-rated as the Galaxy series. Therefore, I’m not expecting too much from it. FE: Awakening isn’t super popular, but I trust it enough to take it here against new Mario. A good amount of people have played it and liked it, and FE is one of those series that is ballooning in popularity as time goes on. Moltar’s Bracket: Fire Emblem: Awakening Moltar’s Prediction: Fire Emblem: Awakening – 58% Transience’s Analysis I debated this match a lot pre-contest. Then I remembered that this poll happened. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 51.56% New Super Mario Bros. Wii 48.44% And I never considered Mario Maker again. Here's the thing with new Nintendo: a lot of people simply do not care. Galaxy 2 proved this. Here's one of the greatest platformers of all time, maybe the absolute best, and it lost to Mass Effect. People just don't play Nintendo games anymore. The Wii U isn't a system that a lot of people own and level edited Mario isn't really a popular thing. Fire Emblem, meanwhile, is still in the GameFAQs top 100 like 2-3 years later. That game has an unusually large fanbase and might be the most popular FE now. It probably is. It's also something up this site's alley. Mario Maker could pull this off if word of mouth and things like twitch/youtube are enough to push a majority of people over FE. I'm just not feeling it though. "it's freaking Mario" is something we keep repeating and it just isn't a thing. It is if you're a core Mario game that people love and grew up with, but Paper Mario nearly lost to a Tales game. Let's put a nail in that argument and move on. transience's prediction: Fire Emblem: Awakening with 55.41% Leon’s Analysis This match is an interesting test of the Nintendo hierarchy. Mario is the next step down from Zelda, and Fire Emblem is pretty far down the line. Awakening was the breakout title for the series in America, so if any FE game is going to have real strength, this is it. Super Mario Maker is a flavor of the month game for the Wii U, but it’s probably not going to be as strong as it is now ever again. It’s also a big game on Twitch and YouTube, so it might be able to draw in some extra voters from there who’ve never even played it. Super Mario Maker has some intangibles in its favor that could potentially swing the match its way, but I don’t think “It’s freakin’ MARIO!” will be enough here. As we saw with ME1/Galaxy 2, just being a Mario game isn’t enough to assure you of victory against a lesser series. If you hold this match a year from now, I think Awakening wins really easily. Right now, I still think it wins, but maybe not that easily. Leonhart’s Vote: Super Mario Maker Leonhart’s Prediction: Fire Emblem: Awakening with 55.10% --- Moltar Status: hype Contest Analysis Crew Archives: http://thecrew.speedrunwiki.com/ |
Kleenex’s Analysis Normally you’d say this is an easy win for something with Mario in the title. Nintendo games know how to fall into line and Fire Emblem certainly is much lower on the Nintendo hierarchy than Mario is. But does SMM count as a full Mario game? This is tricky and Mario Maker has a couple things against it. For one it’s still very new. It’s also on a console not very many people own. It’s not all doom and gloom, though. Mario Maker has incredible word of mouth - it’s pretty popular in the press and on twitch, so there’s a good chance people are familiar with it. Awakening is well liked, but Fire Emblem has never been a big deal around here. I have no idea what the general consensus is on this match, but I’m going to take a shot on Mario Maker. Wouldn’t be surprised to see it go either way, though. Super Mario Maker with 54% Guest’s Analysis - Applekidjosh In before dumb threads about whether Mario Maker is a "game" in the first place. Fire Emblem: Awakening is an interesting game to look at because Fire Emblem is a weird Nintendo series. In some ways it seems like very low tier Nintendo, right? At least in the west. It had super low exposure until Smash Bros Melee. But now you have the Fire Emblem amiibos selling out across the country in 10 minutes and insane stuff like that. What was the big change in that time? I'm not totally sure, but Awakening did land during that change and it was pretty universally enjoyed. And Gamefaqs-wise, we're a long long way from the embarrassing matches in 2004 and 2006. Last time Fire Emblem games made a contest they both won a match before quietly going to bed, and honestly this year is probably going to be the same. By the way, it's not that I'm completely dismissing Super Mario Maker because of itself. I haven't played it but I've watched a friend stream a lot (he's so bad) and it looks like a lot of fun! But it's on the Wii U, so... yeah, ouch. (I'm probably biased here - I've only spent money on DLC for two games before, and one of them was buying all of FE:A's DLC.) Fire Emblem awakens with 58.99% Crew Consensus: FE the heavy favorite here --- Moltar Status: hype Contest Analysis Crew Archives: http://thecrew.speedrunwiki.com/ |

KH2 > KH1 shouldn't be surprising considering we literally saw this!

Division 5: Round 1 - Match 39 – (7) Banjo-Kazooie vs. (10) Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn Moltar’s Analysis N64 nostalgia seems to be all the rage these days, but Banjo is not going to be one of the bigger recipients of that nostalgia wave. It is strong enough to take out Baldur’s Gate, but it’s not going to crush it or anything. And if it does then we got a real match against sotn next round woo Moltar’s Bracket: Banjo-Kazooie Moltar’s Prediction: Banjo-Kazooie – 62% Transience’s Analysis Who the hell knows? I've seen some Banjo hype and I'm not feeling it. I'm writing this well in advance of the match (I'm out of town this weekend) but I haven't seen this supposed N64 boost people are talking about. SNES, yeah, but not N64. Mario 64 won't tell me anything and Goldeneye isn't blowing me away either. Banjo is a mile away from those. But it beats Baldur's Gate 2. transience's prediction: Banjo Kazooie with 64.78% Leon’s Analysis I’m sure a lot of people are waiting to see what Banjo-Kazooie can really do without having any excuse of SFF/LFF holding it down. I’m personally not expecting a ton out of it, but it doesn’t need to be that strong to beat Baldur’s Gate here. This is the game that lost without much of a fight against Skies of Arcadia, after all. There’s really not much else to say here. I’m not sure how high B-K would have to go before I’d entertain its chances against SOTN. Probably pretty high. We’ll see how I feel once I see the final numbers. Leonhart’s Vote: Baldur’s Gate II Leonhart’s Prediction: Banjo-Kazooie with 58.55% Kleenex’s Analysis Both these games are weak, but the outcome hardly seems in doubt. Baldur’s Gate lost to Skies of Arcadia. Doesn’t get much more damning than that! Those old CRPGs have a small dedicated fanbase, but the issue is just that - small. Too small to overcome something with name recognition like Banjo-Kazooie. Sorry BGII fans! Banjo-Kazooie with 65% Guest’s Analysis - whatisurnameplz Finally, Banjo's going to win a match!

On top of that, does anyone find it strange that Ngamer64 keeps talking about "the rise of the N64" happening this contest, but every time he does so, he doesn't mention Banjo? Plus Leon is proud to admit that he hates the game. I believe that all of these things are signs that there is an Illuminati on GameFAQs that has been suppressing and neutralizing all Banjoist thoughts for the past decade or so. Well, people of Board 8, tomorrow is the day we expose these interlopers once and for all! Chinese Zodiac says it's the year of the ram? f*** that, it's the year of the motherf***ing bear! Last weekend, I met an astrologer who said I would move out before my 21st birthday at the end of March.

Division 5: Round 1 - Match 40 – (2) Castlevania: Symphony of the Night vs. (15) Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations Moltar’s Analysis PW is a lot stronger than its seed indicates, and the opposite is true for SotN too. That game is old and hasn’t really held up on GameFAQs in recent years, as evidenced by the decline of it and all things Castlevania related. Still, SotN would really have to choke here to lose to Phoenix Wright, as the gap between them is still pretty wide. If Skyrim can double PW, then I’d hope SotN could at least hit 60%. Moltar’s Bracket: : Symphony of the Night Moltar’s Prediction: : Symphony of the Night – 61% Transience’s Analysis SOTN is pretty weak now. Not PW weak, but weak enough. PW/Skyrim scared us at first but there were lots of reasons for that: the Undertale hangover effect, WRPGs being garbage early and PW having a killer early vote. Once that all subsided, PW was pretty far away. SOTN won't have any of those weaknesses and PW won't be able to capitalize. It might tell us more about Skyrim though. transience's prediction: Symphony of the Night with 64.11% Leon’s Analysis We saw PW1 get doubled by Skyrim the other day. Skyrim is probably stronger than SOTN, but PW1 is probably stronger than T&T, which got tripled by FFIX back in GOTD. The Ace Attorney brand has probably grown quite a bit since then, but not enough to bridge the gap between now and then. Plus, for what it’s worth, Alucard/Dracula beat Phoenix/Edgeworth fairly easily in Rivalry Rumble (Now let’s never speak of it again). I don’t think this match will say too much about its chances against Banjo-Kazooie next round unless it’s struggling in the mid-50s or something. Also, if Board 8 isn’t filled with SOTN and PW memes today, I will be profoundly disappointed. Leonhart’s Vote: Trials & Tribulations Leonhart’s Prediction: Symphony of the Night with 63.10% --- Moltar Status: hype Contest Analysis Crew Archives: http://thecrew.speedrunwiki.com/ |
Kleenex’s Analysis Not sure why we needed two PW games in this thing but here we are. Despite being the best game in the series, I have a real tough time seeing Trials being stronger than the original Ace Attorney. Not that it would have mattered because Symphony wouldn’t lose either way. Not so say that SOTN is going to be a monster or anything, much like Alucard, SOTN gives off an aura of being stronger than it actually is. I’m not going to be shocked if SOTN ends up looking pretty bad by the end of this match, but it would have to bomb so hard to lose it’s impossible to take that upset. Castlevania: SOTN with 65% Lopen's Analysis: FOR GLORY. FOR CREW. INTO THE ABYSS, GUEST SLOT. Lopen's Prediction: Phoenix Wright: Trials & Tribulations with 90.17% Heh heh... heh... okay, fine. I shall do my best on this one. Try this one on for size! Die monster! You don't belong in this world! It was not by my hand that I am once again given flesh. I was called here by humans who wish to pay me tribute. Tribulations!? You steal men's souls, and make them you-- No. Oh. ... not feeling that one? Alright well... I actually don't have all that much to say here. I think this game will be about equal with Phoenix Wright so you know, you can use this game to be dolphin smart and figure out where Skyrim stands by looking real close at this percentage. Or, if you're ahead of the curve like me, you can make some baseless conjecture about where Skyrim stands vs SotN and guess based on that. Check this... Skyrim beats SotN 53-47. Why? Alucard's... plan? Yeah. Thusly, it is simple to divine that...

And
I'm still going to say that Witcher 3 will be weaker than Xenoblade. I
know it's getting hyped as the potential 2015 GotY, but new games/series
never do well here (well, except for Okami, which somehow managed to
perform well right out of the gate) and neither do games based on
non-game IPs. I looked it up, and The Witcher is a series of D&D
novels originally published in Polish. That just screams "contest flop" to me. Also, it's a PC game, which is usually bad news in these contests. And if I'm wrong (which, mind you, will take a few rounds to determine because a close R1 loss by Xenoblade isn't necessarily worse given that Witcher 3 drew probably the weakest 14-seed and Xenoblade drew the second-strongest), well, PC is actually a system I own. I'd be more than happy to buy the game myself. --- FC 5026-4424-6331 -- Native Vivillon type: Polar Still need Marine, Sun, Icy Snow, Monsoon, River, and Jungle |
