I think he'd have been a beast either way with the percentages he was putting up, but fair enough. He wasn't nearly as strong in the same format in 2008 though.
Yeah, I'm not saying that GAME FUEL didn't help, because it certainly did. But I do wonder if he ever could have put up Noble Nine numbers without it.

Actually, I wonder if Master Chief is the one who's dropped the most from his peak. I get GAME FUEL Chief was a one-year wonder, but he was Noble Nine level for that one year.
Depends on how much you think the four-way format played into his run that year.

DK/tommy vercetti would be pretty bad too.
Kefka vs. Vercetti would also be pretty bad. Probably the biggest wire-to-wire to squash you would ever see that isn't Draven vs. Link.

FF7 was not on the match picture:

The match was close anyways:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6718-best-year-in-gaming-semifinal-2001-vs-1997

So it comes down to whether you think FF7 would make up that difference.
This is incorrect. There were two sets of match pictures for that match, and FF7 was top billing on the other side.

However, the eight that were chosen were still not exactly 1997's best foot forward.

I generally agree with this but I'd read some theories - and maybe they're just coping/fan rewrites of the ending a la Indoctrination Theory - I dunno but they sound plausible enough that I can understand questioning it.

it doesn't help that a lot of it relies on cospox lmao

Like Tsumugi can cosplay as the old DR1/2 cast just fine but couldn't cosplay as the the V3 one in Case 1? I mean maybe she just faked cospox by cheating by being the mastermind but if it's al lthe same shouldn't *all* the characters be in the same bag and she can't cosplay the old casts?

Also some weirdness with the prologue before they get their "Ultimate" upgrades don't seem to match with Tsumugi's story but again you can cover this up as some kind of multi-level fake for no obvious reason other than to mess with the player using Flashback Light memory rewriting.

I'm cool with the ending but it definitely feels like they sacrificed coherency and consistency in the plot to make their point.
In retrospect, the dumbest thing about V3-6 is that Shuichi learns that Tsumugi can cosplay as students from past seasons, and he immediately galaxy brains to everything is fiction. When of course, the more rational conclusion to make is that cospox was a load of bullshit that only served to ensure that the mastermind wouldn't be suspected of every crime because of their talent. Especially considering that the only person who ever saw the cospox symptoms is dead at that point (even if the player saw it through Kaede).

I had R/B/Y to the finals in 2015

Felt like that was on course to be the right pick, too
I had RBY winning the contest outright, and while RBY > Ocarina seems insane, the way OoT ended up rolling over and dying against Undertale really has me wondering if the winner of that side of the bracket was always destined to pull the upset no matter what.

Though I do think a rally-less 2015 has Chrono in that spot looking back.

I think my biggest upset that I called correctly was Xenoblade winning Division 4 in 2020, though Bowser > Alucard in 2018 Losers bracket is stastically my best prediction vs. the overall predicition percentage even though that was the most common result for the board/guru.

I do wonder if having to portray all those likenesses/copyrighted material on the front page from dozens of video game properties is something that legal needs to clear or something.

I'd be fine with running tournaments with no cash prize if that's what it took to have an otherwise standard contest.

Toxic Tower is also absolutely iconic, spent forever trying to beat that with my bros
I love how it's perceived as such a difficult level, but all of that difficulty is concentrated only the first third of the level. Once you get to the Squacks section, you just trivially fly over the rising waste.

Board 8 told me so3 was a worthy purchase back in the day. I've never forgiven that lie

I never even made it to the twist!

Maybe I had stronger opinions back then and it's actually a fine game
