squexa 12/07/21 3:38:02 PM #147: | There could be some nostalgia or demographic shift boosting KH1+2, but I'd be more convinced if similar games like FFX, FFXII boosted or if KH characters looked great in 2018 in the same way that CT's boost was part of a broader SNES nostalgia wave that led to FFVI also boosting etc. I can see the MGS3 analogy in that KH1+2 didn't fall hard like MGS4 or FFX if people are seeing KH2 as the "last great Square game", but I don't think KH1+2 or MGS3 boosted either. LinkMarioSamus posted... True, but even then KH2 directly outperformed its 2010 loss to TP against a presumably stronger opponent - and direct extrapolation had Melee getting 52% on TP in 2010 since, y'know, they both shared a common opponent (you could maybe argue SFF getting in the way, but eh). Plus taking CT's and Melee's other matches from that division plus Arkham City/TLOU from GOTD at face value, Melee is projected to get 38% on CT which is frankly really good. I think pre-rally Melee fell a bit in 2015. I wouldn't take the CT/Melee seriously, since that was derailed by rallies so I dont think anyone can say what a "fair" rally-less match would look like had it happened round 1 before the contest went off the rails. You can also use the GSC match to argue that pre-rally Melee was trending to do only 1-2% worse on GSC than MM did in 2010, which perfectly matches the 2010 xstats but I don't think the round 3 MM in 2010 is the same one that beat Brawl and FFX. --- congrats to azuarc, our GotD2 guru! ...
