LOL. Good choice for competitors.

I say SF, just because you could be anywhere in the world and run into SF cabs. + its simple and very complicated at the same time. Also, they have Chun Li.

Does Marvel vs Capcom fall under the SF franchise?

Is Grand Theft Auto in there? If I could be bothered to vote, that's what I'd vote for.

What a crappy comparison.

Here's an idea, why not compare two franchises that have something even remotely in common.

Was never into fighting games other than Super Smash.As for the other match up I have only played 2 Civilizations and they where pretty good.

TES and FO get my votes.

Street Fighter vs STarcraft. Now that is a very epic match up. Can't make a decision, would have to flip a coin on it.

I would go with Street Fighter because it has less micromanagement. Starcraft is not a strategy game, it is a micromanagement game. If you gave the units commands for destinations and level of aggressiveness (instead of giving specific commands to every unit about what attacks and abilities it will use) it might be an actual strategy game. As it stands now, Starcraft is based on whoever can perform the most actions per second.

Indeed. That's why I still hold that Age of Empires is the greatest RTS series ever made. It truly takes strategy and there is still micromanagement but it isn't the entire game, it's mostly just an advantage but it doesn't mean if you don't heavily micromanage you can't win, your attack plan decides if you win.

What a crappy comparison.

People keep thinking it should be a comparison of which is a better game in a genre. It's not about genre, it's about which one gave you more entertainment value and which franchise had more overall quality games. They aren't trying to compare them one which one was a better game gameplay to gameplay, they are comparing which game you liked most of the two. It's a random bracket like in a tournament, not set up by genre. That's like complaining that it's not fair to have Subzero vs. Nick Cage because they are too different.

Assassins Creed beats Battlefield??? Pwah! *Spits on ground* Assassins Creed is a repititive game that has a new sequel put out every year or two. Grrrrrrrr.........These results make me want to cry..........but I don't think this is meant to be taken seriously, I mean it's probably just for fun. After all, why'd they compare a RTS and an RPG, that'd be no way to do a real competition. Or has gaming journalism really fallen that far?

Wow, Starcraft vs Elder Scrolls has got to be one of the worst comparisons possible. They're about as similar as Heavy Rain is to Unreal Tournament...

I personally like Assassin's Creed more than I did any of the Battlefield games. I didn't see anything repetitive about AC, but that's me. But as I said above, it's not about comparing the two games on genre, it's about comparing which one of the two you liked playing the most, you can always compare that. They are random pair ups and you decide which one wins by voting for the one you liked playing the most. So if one game was more fun than the other to you, then it's a completely logical competition when comparing them, regardless of genre.
