No, it wouldn't of. FF12 barely has a fanbase (fun fact, FFX will be the last FF worth a damn in anything gfaqs contest related). KH2 doesnt have much contest strength anymore either. Most people have moved on to WRPGs anyway, and Skryim (despite it being meh imo) is praised by plenty of people.


GameFAQs isn't most people. And KH2 looked great against Melee, which went on to do great things that contest.

I think there's 3 main problems:

1. The biggest one - For some years, Allen prioritized variety, while for others he said fuck it and gave it their 4 best games, variety be damned. This is most obvious with 1995 vs. 1987. 1995 had some bad fodder to avoid multiple SNES games, while 1987 had 4 NES games.

2. Handheld games are getting slightly shafted. I get that a lot of gamers hate them, and many others view them as strictly second class. But there is the occasional really great one, and I feel like we're 50/50 on them actually making the match pics. Link's Awakening is the most blatant since its easily the big 1993 game on this site and even several others. And obviously Pokemon G/S would've helped a lot today.

2. 2006 just got royally screwed for no reason. There's no defending Twilight Princess at the bottom and Kingdom Hearts 2 not in the pic. I honestly think that Allen did this just to make the vs. 2011 match "more interesting". I don't think any other year got this randomly screwed for no reason, but maybe I'm forgetting one.

In that scenario, SMRPG probably goes out in round 2 or 3 instead of getting a cinderella run. Without that cinderella run fresh on people's minds, SBAllen would choose to snub SMRPG from 1996's pic for the sake of variety. Without SMRPG in the match picture, 1996's day vote would be more like its night vote and 2000 would have a strong chance of winning.

1997 is mainly held together by Final Fantasy VII, and FF7 is a choke artist lately. I mean 1997 doesn't have bad sub-anchors or depth, but without FF7 it'd be one of the weaker 90s years.

The fact that the year its in is losing to a mid card year (2005) in the first round shows a lot. Also undertale was super popular for like 3 months on the internet, and pretty much saw an exponential decline in popularity/discussion/purchases. Ya, that screams fad.

2015 didnt need to win the fucking contest, but if a year contains a game that caused what it did last contest, ya 2015 needed to beat a meh 2005.


Undertale was popular during the Casual Revolution. Now that that era over, it's nothing special.

2017 has been exciting for games, but if we play the "contest strength" exercise, it's entirely banking on BotW being the strongest game since Skyrim (if not stronger). It's less a case of "17 would kick butt because of all these formidable games" and more a case of "BotW can single handedly beat every year since 2012."


Yeah, once the dust settles I think Persona 5 will join the ranks of Tales of Symphonia, Persona 4, and Xenoblade. Maybe a little stronger but not much. And NieR Automata isn't that big a deal.

Take away Zelda and most years would wreck January-April 2017.
