Greatest Tecmo Player in the World Contest (Semi Finals!)

[Knobbe]

Today begins the epic show down between 64 select players in determining who is the Greatest Tecmo Player. The rules are simple: two players will be matched up and you vote who is the greatest. Some people will vote strictly on attributes while others will vote with their gut. There is no right or wrong answer!

I'll sticky new votes at the top for a day or two until the next one is ready to come out. Refer to the TSB section or else this thread for locations and results.

I still think you should add:

Raiders Anderson/Harden

Raiders' entire Defensive Line

Lions Jerry Ball

SF Steve Young ....best backup QB in tecmo! Better than most starters!

PHX Ricky Proehl

Gia Gary Reasons

that's just off the top of my head,

with guys like Tom Tupa, Jax, Lorenzo, and Sikahema seeded ..... why the hell aren't these guys in the running?

That's not how the matchups go. I have the setup for next round and will release it once all the rounds are done.

I want in on this. I have been dying to prove I am the best since 1991 and now finally have a computer that can handle it. I will be on this site often. Please send me and invite to the rom section or let me know where I can get the rom and emu you all use.

Thanks so much. I am all signed up and ready to try to play online. Who wants to test me first? I have played since 1991, but never online except with a lagging nesticle game, that was too slow to finish back in 2006.

Can these be unstickied yet?
