Master Moltar 04/07/20 2:17:56 PM #323:	Round 1 Rocket League vs. Dragon Ball FighterZ Moltars Analysis This is such a weird match. GameFAQs doesnt care about Rocket League but this game is EVERYWHERE now. It has gotten far more relevant and way more exposure since its release. In terms of playrate, far more people are aware of and have played Rocket League on this site than DBF. GameFAQs likes anime and DBZ is cool and all, but fighting games are death on this site. I dont think DBZ gets killed here because GOKU and friends, but unless people are voting for the franchise and not the game itself, Rocket League is somehow the favorite here. Moltars Bracket: Rocket League Moltars Prediction: Rocket League 55% ____________________________________________________________________________ transiences Analysis I spent way too long thinking about this stupid one point match and I'm excited to get it off my mind. On one side you have Rocket League, a... multiplayer car soccer game, and on the other a fighting game. Let's start with the fighting game because that's easier to gauge. It's so hard to look at the other fighters and just go "ewww, hell no." Tekken 7 got destroyed, MK11 got obliterated and SF5 is getting doubled by a portable Animal Crossing. I actually think all of those games have convenient excuses - Ultimate and Odyssey are probably 2 and 3 on the site, unless Witcher or Skyrim has something to say about it, and Animal Crossing is unusually hot right now (not to mention that SF5 is just bad). Rocket League is a weird one, one without an obvious parallel. It's an indie game but it has major crossover appeal to the point that it's not really thought of as one. It was recently bought out by Epic which feels more in line. Rocket League is funny because it's a highly competitive online game, something that we usually go way the hell away from. The thing is, so is DBFZ? DBFZ is at least from a genre that people have some familiarity in, but Rocket League is unquestionably more popular with the masses. The question is if it plays here. There's one part we haven't talked about - the Dragon Ball part of DBFZ. It might be that Dragon Ball ends up being the factor that trumps two weak games. This poll is going to be voted on a broader audience, one that knows Dark Souls and Metal Gear and not much else. Are they going to vote for the car game without any lineage, or for the picture of Goku? I mean, probably the car game, because it's so well known. But I'll roll with my bracket and take DBFZ even though I'm pretty skeptical. Fighting games are definitely more our thing than car combat games, at least theoretically. transience's prediction: Dragon Ball FighterZ with 52.41% ____________________________________________________________________________ Leonharts Analysis This one is interesting. Overall, Rocket League is an internet phenomenon. Even some of my friends who arent really gamers have gotten into this thing. That doesnt mean too much for us here since were old fogeys who dont care about what the latest online craze is, but I dont expect this to get the same sort of backlash that Fortnite, Destiny, or Dota 2 got. I think were mostly indifferent on Rocket League. We know it exists, but we dont have any reason to hate it. I havent heard any argument for Dragon Ball FighterZ to win other than people will see Goku on the front page and theyll vote for it! In general, I dont buy that, but I suppose in a match like this where most of us will be apathetic to both options, it could affect some voters. Ive also seen some people say we hate sports games, but I think that applies more to traditional sports games, which Rocket League isnt. But if theres one thing we seem to dislike even more, its fighting games that arent Smash Bros. (and to a lesser extent Street Fighter II)! I actually feel reasonably confident in Rocket League here, but Ive been wrong a lot so far! Leonharts Vote: Rocket League Leonharts Prediction: Rocket League with 57.67% ____________________________________________________________________________ Kleenexs Analysis Im surprised Rocket League hasnt been in more pollZ than it has. It looked pretty rotten in the few it appeared in, honestly. I know the game exploded in popularity after its release, but it doesnt strike me at the kind of game that GameFAQZ really cares too much about. Not that this site cares about fighting gameZ much either. DBZF lost to Assassins Creed Odyssey - a game that got absolutely murdered a few dayZ ago. I...really dont know which way to go here. I think a year or so ago, DBZF would have had a much better chance - it was more popular, more hyped - but Dragon Ball fandom seemZ to have died down quite a bit since then. I guess Ill just go with Rocket League, but I have no idea how to actually evaluate either of these games. KleenexZ Prediction: Rocket League with 51.25% ____________________________________________________________________________ Guests Analysis spooky96 This is probably the most debated match of Round 1, as its a 51-49% split in Gurus in favor of Rocket League. You can't really be super confident in picking either of these games as they're hilariously weak. I checked the polls for both of these games and they were absolutely destroyed, 3-7% in any given poll. Whenever a fighting game/character loses we love to remind others how we don't give a crap about fighting games not named Smash, but we don't really give a crap about casual games either. Anyway, I'm siding with Dragon Ball Z here, simply because of the brand name. Now I know its not a smart or a wise thing to do, but we'll have to see! As the contest has turned out, the results seem to favor Rocket League, plus it has a higher playrate and rating on GameFAQs, if that matters. As I'm writing this I'm getting increasing paranoid about DBZ failing miserably here and scoring some in the ranges of low 40s. I should hit 'Send' before I change my mind about the winner of this match. Dragon Ball FighterZ with 50.01% ____________________________________________________________________________ Crew Consensus: It has been a while, but weve got another Crew split!
