| BlAcK TuRtLe 05/12/17 12:38:18 AM #19 | Haste_2 posted... I kinda disagree about '96 not having depth. Resident Evil is a pretty good game to have next to Mario 64. And Crash Bandicoot, while not popular, is pretty iconic. That said, I'm expecting 2000 to win with 55-60%. Well, compare that depth to 2000 which has a Zelda, a Final Fantasy a Pokemon game and 2 outstanding PC releases. 1995 has 'depth' until you realize that the only good games that came out that year were SNES platformers, and Chrono Trigger. --- DpObliVion, my hat is off to you.

| BlAcK TuRtLe 05/12/17 12:31:28 AM #5 | Haste_2 posted... I am puzzled how polarized predictions were for 1995/1987. Everyone who picked '95 thought it would be a blowout. And then like five people had '87 winning. Think that's a result of 2 different schools of thought pre-contest. Most people figured the years would be as strong as their strongest game, but others figured depth would matter. This is probably the most egregious example of single game strength vs raw depth of field, but 2000/1996 will have similar results. --- DpObliVion, my hat is off to you.

Europe also didn't get Mario RPG IIRC, could be a bad overnight for 1995. This match might end up being close by the end. --- DpObliVion, my hat is off to you.

Aside from the quality and history of the games in 1987, it benefits strongly from Breath of the Wild, and I think it and all the other Zelda years are going to run roughshod over the bracket. --- DpObliVion, my hat is off to you.

| BlAcK TuRtLe 05/11/17 1:44:31 PM #318 | Not sure I understand this result. I took 2015, not even considering the possibility of an Undertale rally. It's just such a better year than 2005. 2005 is similar to 1995 in that it had 2 good games (SotC and RE4) and then a giant pile of trash. Meanwhile, 2015 had Witcher 3, MGS5 and Rocket League, all untested and all fantastically good games. Additionally, Undertale had its own intrinsic strength on this site that let it go even with ME3 before the rallying started. This is the first result of this contest so far that just doesn't make sense to me. --- DpObliVion, my hat is off to you. Welcome to the Guru Champions Club lol xstats |

| BlAcK TuRtLe 05/11/17 12:40:07 AM #245 | 1995 was doomed to begin with. It will take a lot more than Chrono Trigger + fodder to beat a landmark year like 87, especially with BotW being a big shot in the arm for the Zelda franchise that has been disapointing for the last 15 years. --- DpObliVion, my hat is off to you.
