I'm sure you've got your own arguments as to why it places where it does. Out of curiosity, where would you put other common choices like SM64, Banjo-Kazooie or Sonic Adventure?
SM64 is a weird one, because its more influential than it is good, similar to Halo, which defined modern FPS. While SM64 is a good game, i dunno if it'd say its above Wrath, unless we're talking about influential, in which case its #1. Banjo is an iterative of SM64's gameplay, IIRC they even share some textures. I think its more of a cult following kinda game than one of the top of its genre, certainly not bad, probably even great, but it doesn't match up to SM64 which i would put at #3.
I cannot comment on sonic adventure fairly. i grew up on genesis.
It's Banjo and DK64 that share a lot of assets, since they were both made by Rare.

though a good portion of those depend on how you define their genre.
What games come to close to melee in fighting games? Like 3rd strike, MvC 2 some anime fighter? The fighting genre has really seen the biggest decline in the recent 10 years compared to others.

Come close? i dunno but games that would compete for the top 3 and leave out melee?
MK2, SF2, MVC2, Tekken Tag, i never played it but a lot of people would put vitua fighter in, though i dunno if just for nostalgia and novelty/influence or gameplay, I dunno which KoF game would represent the franchise i only played a couple, but KoF has to be in there. I'd probably put 3rd strike in as a second SF game before i think people would put in melee
fighting games are just too prolific for melee to have a chance at the top 3.

I don't have to shit talk melee, i'm confident in the strength of the genre enough to keep melee out of the top 3 for almost anyone not a diehard melee fan. the only way it could lead to trouble is if someone gets upset that my leaving melee out of the top 3 is some sort of offensive knock on the game, that its an insult to not say its definitely one of the best 3 in one of the most prolific genres of video games of all time. I'd consider every game in the top 20 for the genre of fighting games to be good games, and even i'd admit melee is probably in the top 20 by any measure. even though i think its a crap game to watch.
You farmed on City Escape? I always went to Radical Highway for my farming needs. My teenage self thought that Shadow was better than Sonic. I think I still hold that opinion.
Anyways, City Escape 8-bit for the lovelies out there:
So soniv, I have to ask (and I'm too lazy to quote from six pages back or w/e)... if you can't get "gains" from bodyweight training, what are "gains" exactly? The ability to life more weight? Added muscle mass?
I'm mainly asking because I'm finally starting in-house strength training using furniture and stuff.
