Master Moltar 04/06/20 2:34:17 PM #282:	Round 1 Animal Crossing: New Leaf vs. Street Fighter V Moltars Analysis animal crossing one of the most popular games in the world right now what times we live in This match was already a gimme, as fighting games (that are not Smash) do poorly on GameFAQs. Tekken got killed, MK11 got killed, and now SFV, a game that a number of SF players dont even like, will get killed. Now also factor in that a new Animal Crossing game just came out, and this should be an even bigger win for it than originally slated. Feeling very confident in a big overperformance for AC here, as it has way too many factors in its favor right now. animal crossing blowouts what IS this contest?! Moltars Bracket: Animal Crossing: New Leaf Moltars Prediction: Animal Crossing: New Leaf 72% ____________________________________________________________________________ transiences Analysis Animal Crossing is one of the weirdest situations that I can recall. First of all, unlike a lot of series', I largely see Animal Crossing games as being the same. It doesn't matter which one is listed, really, because you're voting for the franchise. If you like Animal Crossing, you like any of the games, and you're not too picky about which one. New Leaf is a portable game which does probably hurt a little bit, but people who play Animal Crossing play it like it's an MMO, and they'll take anything they can get. The thing that's weird about Animal Crossing is how it's exploded this month. I can't think of a game that's come out at a better time than Animal Crossing in the middle of the covid stuff. It's such comfort food for so many people, and the game is #1 on this site and has been for a couple of weeks now. New Leaf isn't the new game but I think people who are finding comfort with Animal Crossing will vote for it anyway. Its opponent is SF5, and I have very little respect for that game. Some people credit it for a steep decline in fighting games. It isn't awful, but its launch was really rocky and it's just not very interesting at all. 4 would probably lose here and it's a huge step above 5. I'm very interested to see how AC does here, because if it wins more than one round it could be a real underdog. With so many western games and KH3 in its eightpack, it wouldn't be a total shock to see the plucky Nintendo game do it. transience's prediction: Animal Crossing: New Leaf with 61.44% ____________________________________________________________________________ Leonharts Analysis This is such a weird match. On the surface, Street Fighter is a bigger brand name than Animal Crossing, especially this particular version of the game. However, most of SFs strength comes from SF2 (and its many versions). Weve seen Street Fighter IV in a couple of contests, and it was pretty weak. Now consider the fact that Street Fighter IV was actually really well liked by SF fans and the fighting game community in general! Now contrast that with Street Fighter V, which had a disastrous launch that turned many fans off within the first few months (including me). Capcom managed to right the ship over time, but I feel like the damage has been done. Animal Crossing is also riding high off of the release of New Horizons, which I imagine will rub off on New Leaf at least a little bit. I feel strange picking it to win the match, but it also feels like such an obvious choice after you put some thought into it! Leonharts Vote: Street Fighter V Leonharts Prediction: Animal Crossing: New Leaf with 57.86% ____________________________________________________________________________ Kleenexs Analysis No one likes Street Fighter V. Even the people who play SFV competitively hate SFV. Animal Crossing just had a brand new game come out two weeks ago that no one can stop fucking talking about because were all stuck in our real homes spending hours a day in our virtual ones. New Leaf was pretty well liked when it was the Animal Crossing du jour, and I think itll do just fine against a game that everyone agrees sucks. Kleenexs Prediction: Animal Crossing: New Leaf with 61% ____________________________________________________________________________ Guests Analysis ZeldaTPLink Street Fighter vs Animal Crossing. When I first looked at the bracket, with my infinite lack of knowledge of modern games, I figured Street Fighter was a much more liked franchise. And AC's most recent feat in GameFAQs is being on the receiving end of the 2nd biggest blowout in CBX. Fortunately, there was plenty of time to change my bracket, and to see this poll: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6381-now-that-the-first-half-of-2016-is-over-what-is-your-pick Ever heard of Zero Escape? It's a pretty beloved series in B8. Its list of feats in gameFAQs polls includes not looking worse than Chester when Mewtwo got 80% on both of them in 2013, avoiding the quadrupling by Mass Effect 2 in 2015, and beating the crap out of Street Fighter V in that poll. Oh look, did you know they still make Digimon games in this decade? Digimon, for those who don't know, is a series that started on tamagotchis, then became a videogame, then finally an anime that threatened to rival with Pokemon, until eventually people forgot about it. But apparently the series is still alive, and strong enough to get a win against Street Fighter V. How is SV5 in the bracket yet Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth is not? The mysteries of contest nominations! Ok, I get it. SFV is fodder. People who are more aware of modern gaming have told me no one liked it. Still, that's a series everyone knows, and Ryu looks pretty badass in that cover, which may or may not be the match pic. It could get apathy votes, right?
