FF7 has a bad board vote. 1997 does not.


1997 was at 60% at the freeze last round. What 1997 lacks that FFVII has is a strong night vote.

Would anyone be able to challenge Auron in a Supporting Cast Contest? Many years ago I would have said Vincent was the favourite but time has not been kind to him.


I'd give Tifa or Zelda a great shot, too.

What about a Supporting Cast Contest? No main characters allowed. Or was that done already? I can't remember.


Feels like that would cause a lot of issues over who is considered a supporting character or not, sort of like that (thankfully) failed attempt at Worst Character Ever.

I'll just go ahead and post mine then!

If I’m looking at this match at face value, 2001 might be my favorite year in this contest. It’s got one of my favorite games ever in FFX and a bunch of other great games I like a lot, like SSBM, MGS2, Paper Mario, and so on. It’s such a loaded year. However, 1997 vs. 1996 probably made me the happiest I’ve been this entire contest because—let’s be real—this contest hasn’t had a lot of excitement and drama. There have only been three matches where the winner wasn’t leading at the freeze, and the winner had taken the lead by the end of the Power Hour. The biggest comeback has been 56 votes, and 2000/1996 is the only match that had a lead change outside of the Power Hour.

But seeing 1997 doing FFVII’s traditional rise to high heaven against 1996 gave me such a feeling of nostalgia for the good ol’ days. It was a fun blowout to watch. It almost makes me want to vote for it again here just to see the beautiful domination continue. 1997 has a lot of games I love, too, like FFVII, Mario Kart 64, and Star Fox 64. This might be the highest quality one-on-one match for me, along with 1994/2004. I guess I’ll do the best of both worlds here and vote for 2001 while simultaneously hoping 1997 crushes this match to give me false hope about the final. My entire contest tenure here has been built on false hope since SC2K4. I want it—no, I need it back in my life.

Leonhart’s Vote: 2001

Leonhart’s Prediction: 1997 with 63.25%

I don't think you believe that about 91/94!


my contest tenure thrives on false hope

I don't give up on matches easily because anything can happen but when 1991 didn't start making any moves once the Power Hour was over it was a long shot to win

can we just, I don't know, start the NBA finals this weekend?


If the Cavs and Warriors sweep, it'll be 8 days before the finals start.

Also, I favor the Warriors in the Finals. They play offense and defense. The Cavs' defensive strategy is just to outscore the other team, which works against most teams. It's tough against GS.

DGS1-1 The multi-witness thing did start with Layton/AA, yeah. It's pretty simple in DGS because it's not the main gimmick like it is in Layton/AA, where they push it to the limit in absurdity at one point.

I actually might watch through the game again now that I've finished all the Sherlock Holmes stories and I'll be able to catch and appreciate the references better now.

I think someone goes "Bake the baker!" at the beginning of L-3, but yeah, Phoenix ends up being more respected and is seen on even footing with the Inquisitors by this point. Labyrinthia hates witches, not lawyers, and they just want to see them burn. It's just mob justice, and they can all talk themselves into believing just about anything given enough time. It does make more sense in Labyrinthia because of the "medieval" setting, so they approach things from a completely different mindset and point of view than we would. I always like it in L-2 when Phoenix suggests checking the scepter for fingerprints and everyone else is utterly confused.

Oh right, I forgot to mention before that Maya refers to herself as a spirit medium before the trial begins, so I guess they don't completely ignore it! Still working my way through the trial. The contradiction with the upright golden arm is pretty fun, since it centers around Emeer being Emeer and selling it to the pawnbroker, which explains why he's suddenly become so opulent. Phoenix using that to prove Maya couldn't have dropped the scepter in that direction is pretty clever, although Labyrinthia strikes again! Barnham says that witchcraft muddles and confuses people, so it's possible that they're simply misremembering the order of events. Sure enough, all their testimonies completely change, and there's nothing Phoenix can do to stop this convenient turn of events! Khura'in might be more dangerous for Phoenix, but the odds are definitely more stacked against him in Labyrinthia because of stuff like this. There's no argument against that stuff because everyone just simply accepts it as fact.

Anyway, great episode as always, guys. I keep thinking we should do a "Contest Retrospective" show at some point to talk about old contests since the gaps between contests are so large nowadays. I'm thinking about doing a "Re-predict old contests in 2016" running series once this contest wraps up, too. Might be fun.

I guess I'll be "that guy" and say this hasn't really been that fun of a contest, at least in terms of the matches themselves. It may have exceeding my expectations somewhat, but it wasn't hard when I had none to begin with. Any contest is better than not having one at all because it does generate a bunch of fun discussions and good content like The Show, but the drama of the matches has been practically non-existent. 2000/1996 has been the only match where the winner was still in doubt after the first hour.
