Guys don't be mean to plum, he just has such nuanced views

(1) Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations - 20
(16) Radiant Historia - 17

(8) Super Paper Mario - 25
(9) Red Dead Redemption - 13

Hearts
Batman

Just a heads up, I'm gonna put the next match up early, but this still lasts 24 hours. I'll just be out at the typical time.

Deltron 3030 if you're a fucking nerd

Souls

up, two very close matches!

God
Mass

Mario Kart too strong, even the bad ones

MKW is fine, people are just mean. Looks like it's well-liked here though...

SMB3 is so good it's not really fair. 2D Mario never recovered after peaking so hard.

I'm also curious why the two best games of Gen 7 are against each other R1. Need someone to make these brackets better!

Venmo me 200 bucks and I will let you swap Ghost Trick with something else, then we can run a poll that won't count

Souls
Ghost

Last of Us is a pretty mediocre video game with amazing storytelling, so it's not too surprising that taking the gameplay out results in a quality product

Mario

Need an origin story for every mainline FF game. The twist needs to be Jack always turns into the villain of each game.

Played for the first time a few months ago, and it's definitely Booster Tower. Booster is such a perfect character.

Demon's Souls is a lot more niche than Dark Souls is, which I think Souls fans tend to forget. Not sure if it'll matter in the small board sample size though. Either way I think it'll be a pretty neat one too look forward to.

idk, Fire Emblem and WRPGs have looked so bad in these contests, I think Demon's Souls is a fun opponent and I'm not sure Skyrim is being wasted past a potentially interesting R1 match. Skyrim doesn't have the nomination support to move any higher than an 8-seed regardless.

Now a new generation can experience the horrors of playing a console FPS in the 90s

Okay think I have an idea for side so I'll put this forward instead of doing my job...

Round 1 (10 Matches):
There are 49 games with 2 nominations. I will randomly pull a 1 nom game into the group and have 10 5way matches were winners move on. There are 22 games with 3 which won't partake in round 1 (Neither will 4 nom games), which means round 2 will consist of those 22 and the 10 winners for a clean 32.

Round 2 (9 Matches):
It gets a little stranger here, but battles will be done through 4ways, allowing for 8 matches total. Since there are 18 games, the winner moving on from each will make for 26, so two need to die. I think if we have a full match free-for-all where bottom two get eliminated, that would make it 24.

Round 3 (8 Matches):
4 nom games will now be present and we're going to 3ways baby. 1 moves on from each with 8 remaining.

Round 4+ (7 Matches):
Just a regular tournament from this point on. I will seed based on performance I guess, or just randomize it. Hell I may just try and make interesting matches, if everything goes right I'll just be happy to be here.

That makes 34 days needed to complete the side bracket, and main bracket will take 45 days, so even if I've fucked up math somewhere that's a pretty good outlier!

Also a gentle reminder the side bracket is meaningless and has no impact on the main brackets of this or any other tournament. No matter how it pans out, none of these games have achieved or lost anything in the eyes of our God, Peter Molyneux.

Random.org pulled Sin and Punishment: Star Successor as our 1 nom game btw

Bracket:

I am not sure if this is a good bracket so lemme know if it sucks and I can rearrange things. Phoenix Wright vs. Ghost Trick feels like it could be an amazing match or could be a complete waste of Ghost Trick so idk on that one. Also, like half the bracket got 5 nominations only, so I am likely over and under-seeding a number of titles. Regardless, I tried to keep matches as interesting as I could while allowing for potential later matches to also be good. We shall see.

Not sure what I'm gonna do for side bracket. I completed the main bracket and went to bed right after. I'll probably run the first match Thursday night though, so gives you all time to predict/complain/speculate and me to come up with an appropriate side bracket format, rather than slapping something together without thinking, and realizing halfway through it's not going to work...

wow, yes! wasn't expecting fishmans chat here

i don't think of it as the greatest recorded music ever like half of the internet does, but it's definitely great

Is it really that popular? My friend recommended it when I told him I liked Long Season and I liked the version on that album even better!

my views are fairly nuanced.

This means he doesn't understand subjectivity

Anybody else listened to 98.12.28 Otokotachi no Wakare?

Updated. 5 nominations will grant a spor in the bracket. Games with 5+ nominations as of post #79 can not have nominations removed from them.

Wait, are browser games eligible? (If they were released within the PC time period and are still around)

yes

pezzicle posted...

ya the dates are for PC only imo, and as a guide.

It came out on PS3 and 4 at the same time, so it counts for either, but if it gets into the bracket it becomes ineligible for next gen contest

correct

updated through post 44

that one was Gen 6

It didn't make the field though. Side bracket was not real. It released simultaneously to both gens so it is eligible.

I'm not gonna count this, sorry
