I've used Moves/Abilities/Combos FAQs enough to wonder why most fighting games have near turbofodder levels here. Getting through games without help is more likely than figuring all these on your own.

GameFAQs is specifically console RPGFAQs.

US and non-SEGA RPGFAQs. Phantasy Star sucks for the latter and FFV is not as strong as it should be for the former.

Yeah I'd been speculating myself this was gonna be more like a SMB3/SMW instead of a Mario/LoZ.

The one contest I'm the most fond of is 2k2 and it's not even close. Lightning in a bottle.

2k3 started that saying (though not true now) that FF always wins. I hadn't played much FF back then so I didn't enjoy it that much.

Then I enjoyed the female (wait wasn't that one of the first?) and villains contest, even though the winners were obvious, maybe cause the roster was just different.

The rest are kind of a blur to me except for L-Block/Undertale/Draven.

I enjoyed L-Block shaking things up but ultimately I was bummed that Snake didn't get to win in that one and neither in the Draven one.

Draven happened when I was huge into LoL, but it was still not fun that out of all League characters Draven was the chosen one. I probably always voted against him.

Undertale was horrible. I was expecting OoT to take its rightful crown. I played the demo afterwards and saw how all of that mess was not even worth it.

2018 was the first time I made a bracket (I think)! Wins and defeats suddenly had another layer to it.

I suppose Skyrim has the first brackets and Witcher the second ones.

And I don't know if people beyond the first hundred or so have a realistic shot at making it to the leaderborard anyway.

Come to think of it, a roster of 40 would already be MOBA size, as I believe that's what League of Legends started with.

So if, theoretically, Nintendo released a new Zelda, Mario, Pokemon, Metroid, Mario Kart, Xenoblade, Smash, and Fire Emblem game between now and the next contest, how do you think they would rank strengthwise?

I'd throw in the dark horse of a return to form, well received Star Fox.

A lot of people, especially on console heavy GameFAQs, didn't even know Prince of Persia existed prior to the PS2 era.

Yeah... and I've seen some others that consider the first trilogy like it's a long hidden bastard child, totally shameful I tell you.

Eh, Tekken has kinda overtaken SF as the FGCs favorite fighter scene right now, the Pakistan invasion last year was really cool

Fighting scene maybe, but MK is by far the bigger name overall in both mainstream and in the gaming conscience. Tekken 3 would be the only game with any sort of strength.

GTAV is currently winning today's regular poll, and this is after at least one person commented on FF5 winning over GTAV at the time of the post. Since then, GTAV has flipped the tables and has consistently beaten FF5 in all 3 "favorite 5 game" polls.

And that's a damn shame!

Seriously I'm gonna be eyeing this poll from time to time, it's certainly more interesting than these other ones.
