What has Mega Man gotten since 1996 that would allow him to surpass MMX if he wasn't aleady ahead by then? Mega Man's NES games were always bigger than Mega Man X. MM was a top three franchise on the NES behind Mario and Zelda, in the SNES he was buried behind Donkey Kong, Street Fighter, Star Fox, and Final Fantasy as well. Possibly Mortal Kombat. Certainly Mario Kart if that counts as a separate series. Yuri_LowelI posted... TheOneAboveAll posted... Here's a wild thought: If our first Character Battle was in 1996, Mario, Sonic, and Mega Man are by far the strongest characters in the field. Again....Lttp did exist and so did LA and is stronger than any MM/Sonic game. Link would still beat MM and Sonic. But theyd be close matches. Mario would be clear fav though. OoT just put Link on a God like status because that game was links first 3D game. His 2d games arent niche. Even by that point Im pretty sure Zelda series outsold the sonic series. It definitely outsold the MM series. Nah, Sonic 1 was a beast of a game sales-wise (15 million!), and Sonic 2 outside any Zelda at the time except the original LoZ. Anyone who thinks Sonic isn't a top-tier force in 1996 is kidding themselves. If Link beats him it's only because his games are more GameFAQs' style (that is, they require a FAQ more). Agreed about Link vs Mega Man. Nostalgia.... Its easy enough to look back after MM started really dying and saying, man, those incredible days of MM2,3, etc. But no way in fuck in the MIDST of the prime of MMX that MMX loses to MM. <cite>FinaIFantasy posted [p:913506044] in Contest St...

It's possible, but we won't know for sure unless Snake defeats Samus and we get to see him perform against Mario (Zelda may screw up the comparison). Snake aint beating Samus Dawg. Peak Snake couldnt even beat Samus. Hell Mario cant even fucking increase his lead right now. Samus has been stalling him for nearly 2 hours. In my losers Bracket I have Samus >Cloud in the final but I picked god damn Mario in the rematch. Looking at todays contest Im honestly thinking Samus beats Mario in the rematch. Anyone agree? Or at least worried about the Samus/Mario rematch. Thats assuming Mario gets to final and loses to Link and Samus cleans up the losers. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif <cite>Yuri_LowelI posted [p:913506080] in Contest St...

It's notable (and a game that I like, to be clear!), sure, but not as much as various other SNES games. The NES games were bigger for the time, and there were more of them.

He's got no reason to be weaker than Mega Man. IMO #2 is between him and Sonic. Crono should be on there, probably in B. Miiight even be A. I'd take him over Kefka for sure. Not really sure how much of a slow burn CT was to handicap him vs the second-tier Mario characters. Kirby, Ryu, and Scorpion(/Sub-Zero) feel better than the rest of C, for the same reason as today. I'd probably put Fox in with them, maybe a half-step behind, but still better than most of C. --- The RPG Duelling League: www.rpgdl.com An unparalleled source for RPG information and discussion <cite>NeoElfboy posted [p:913507881] in Contest St...

Note that out of the Nintendo characters (and I'm willing to throw Mega Man in with this), all had prominent games there, while any Nintendo characters who had to wait to the SNES to get started, like Kirby (yes yes, I know about Adventure's 1993 release), Donkey Kong, Fox, and yes, Mega Man X, are a step behind. <cite>Calintares posted...</cite> <quote>attempt at 1996 tier list S: Mario A: Sonic, Donkey Kong, Samus, Mega Man B Kefka, Link, Luigi, Yoshi, Bowser, Mega Man X, Zero C: Diddie Kong, Simon Belmont, Doomguy, Pac-Man, Ryu, Scorpion, Cecil, Kirby, Knuckles</quote> Move Link up to A tier for sure. He's got no reason to be weaker than Mega Man. IMO #2 is between him and Sonic. Crono should be on there, probably in B. Miiight even be A. I'd take him over Kefka for sure. Not really sure how much of a slow burn CT was to handicap him vs the second-tier Mario characters. Kirby, Ryu, and Scorpion(/Sub-Zero) feel better than the rest of C, for the same reason as today. I'd probably put Fox in with them, maybe a half-step behind, but still better than most of C.</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Tekken, Rayman, Twisted Metal, Namco Museum Vol. 1, Air Combat (first game of the Ace Combat series), and Battle Arena Toshinden (one of the first 3D and weapons-based fighting games) appear to have been the best-selling / otherwise most notable North American PlayStation releases of 1995. I totally forgot about Ridge Racer somehow, but that lineup having something for everyone is likely why the PlayStation started off strongly, despite it lacking anything considered a true classic these days. <cite>MetalmindStats posted [p:913512479] in Contest St...

N64 also didn't exist yet, so that head start (plus more mature games plus FF7) allowed it to easily win this console generation. <cite>garetha200 posted [p:913512785] in Contest St...

ShatteredElysium 12/04/18 3:50:15 AM #449:	I feel like the tier lists are missing a lot of things that may have been bigger at the time but then fell away as time went on. There were a ton of good SNES RPGs and a handful of Megadrive ones too. The first Suikoden as well in 95 but that seems to have taken off later. You had stuff like Darkstalkers, Killer Instinct, Mortal Kombat or even something like Strrets of rage. Maybe something random like Time Crisis does well due to arcades being a bigger thing. Point and click games seemed a lot bigger too. I'd imagine Guybrush would be stronger Alex Kidd was discussed already but I remember random crap like James Pond, Bubsy, Ristar, Earthworm Jim, Ecco. Theres others too where I can picture them but cant remember the name. Like I don't know, I feel some characters who would be absolute bottom fodder now may have done well back then. Or maybe I'm just isolating to games me and friends played and thinking they were bigger than they were. I mean obviously stuff like Sonic, Mario and Zelda still does well too <cite>ShatteredElysium posted [p:913512975] in Contest St...

Out of the characters/series you mentioned that I didn't include on my tier list, I feel like only Morrigan Aensland and maybe Earthworm Jim would be above the fodder line, which is what I limited my list to. <cite>MetalmindStats posted [p:913513061] in Contest St...
