I've only played the first level of each, but I think we all know where JJ & Jeff stands.

I would say this would be the first matchup in history to be a total KO in favor of the challenger, but I know we've got one or two weirdos here that will actually vote for JJ and Jeff.

probably if you wrote kato-chan & ken-chan, i would have voted for that one :lol:

no seriously, son son II is a way too great game that kato & ken could have a chance against it. but which doesn't mean that i don't highly appreciate kato & ken. it's still an awesome and tough game!

J.J. and Jeff, no contest.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Since its been a while since I've played Son Son II, I fired it up last night and was reminded why its not my favorite game, even though it mimmicks Black Tiger. Its kinda like Dracula XX in how it tries to use the gameplay of the original, but has level design and elements that contradict it.

Its still a good game, but the gameplay isn't as good as JJ & Jeff and its not nearly as much fun. Although certainly not a dealer breaker, Son Son II's music is boring while JJ & Jeff's is catchy and memorable. So although the poll is for which game I prefer, I found JJ & Jeff to be the superior game as well.

I was actually surprised how clear the winner was, I expected this to be worse than Super Star Soldier versus Dragon Spirit. :P

LOL You're a cool dude Tiger- but man that post of yours is total insanity.  If I didn't know any better I'd think it was sarcasm.

Though I've yet to play Son Son II, I still had to choose it over JJ & Jeff.  Poop jokes only go so far and as much as I enjoy the latter, I'd only pick it over a real stinker (i.e. Ballistix, Impossamole, or Genpei Toumaden).

hmm..  if I may

Air Zonk 12, Aero Blasters 5   ...  This is a toughie.  I'm not much of a Zonk fan but AB is just sooo difficult.  it's a toss up.  Both games have some great tunes (atleast the first two in AB that I've set ear to).
Dragon's Curse 9, Dynastic Hero 5 ...  Easily DC.
Rondo of Blood 17, Lords of Thunder 11 ... pass
Ninja Spirit 19, Splatterhouse 9 ... This is a great pairing of games.  I guess on any given day I'm more of a Splatterhouse man
Super Star Soldier 15, Dragon Spirit 3 ... Probably SSS although I'm not sure why. I don't love it.  Dragon Spirit is a good game but..
Dungeon Explorer 18, The Legendary Axe 13 ... DE.  I love Axe but 99% of the time I leave it frustrated.
Altered Beast 11, Batman 8 ... I haven't been fortunate enough yet to play either. (of course I played AB on the Gen in the day)
Soldier Blade 16, JB Harold 6 ... It must be Soldier Blade !  I'm saving JB for after I go sXe.   ;)

I haven't played either game.  :(

I voted JJ and Jeff just to be contrary.

I will have to get both these games. My instincts tell me I'll like Son Son II more, but we'll see. I haven't played JJ and Jeff in 17 years or more so...
