| LeonhartFour 05/11/20 3:35:08 PM #302 | HaRRicH posted... Biggest problem with the Years contest is it ignored system releases. yep the SNES being part of 1991 was the biggest reason I took it over 1994 and it never showed up in any match pics augh pretty sure I could've finished on the final leaderboard if that match comes through for me and 1997 doesn't get jobbed in an epic fashion the likes of which we've rarely seen --- |

| LeonhartFour 05/11/20 3:32:49 PM #298 | Rivals was bad. It was nice to see Squall/Seifer make a deep run, I guess, but there wasn't much of note there. My main memory of Rivals other than the Trainers was yoblazer getting eliminated from the Guru on literally the second day of the contest because he took Jill/Nemesis over Kirby/Meta Knight! what a chalky bracket --- |

At least RR had the Pokemon Trainers as a memorable run (similar to Zelda in 2018, honestly), even if the best match of the contest technically didn't even count! --- |

| LeonhartFour 05/11/20 3:26:48 PM #292 | 2015 was a really solid contest even if you completely throw the Undertale stuff out! I get that the Undertale stuff is hard to completely ignore and soured people on the overall experience, but it was fun for the most part. --- |
| Topic | Who was each year's contest MVP? |
| LeonhartFour 05/11/20 3:24:53 PM #21 | Crono has faced Link 1-on-1 and in 4-ways and didn't seem to get all that affected by him. He's faced Cloud 1-on-1 and in 4-ways and didn't seem to get all that affected by him. Heck, Crono made it to the final in 2008 because Mario and Samus LFF'd each other to death! CT has faced multiple Square and Nintendo games and nothing out of the ordinary happened. I don't know what qualifies as a "true test" then because it's not like we haven't seen CT and its characters in a million matches! --- |

| Topic | Who was each year's contest MVP? |
| LeonhartFour 05/11/20 2:58:58 PM #13 | Yeah, I think Games 2004 has to be Starcraft. It only had one uninteresting match in the whole contest, and that was 53% on Kingdom Hearts. CT is a solid runner-up for running the Mario gauntlet, the wire-to-wire classic against LttP, and actually managing to lead FFVII for an hour or so after VII didn't even struggle with OoT. --- |

| Topic | Who was each year's contest MVP? |
| LeonhartFour 05/11/20 2:31:28 PM #7 | I think you're selling Squall a bit short. His match against Jill was considered a toss-up because he only got 35% on Snake in 2002, and he 60/40'd her. People were hyping Luigi to be Mario level, so very few people were giving him a chance, and Squall 60/40'd him, too. I think the fact that his strength came utterly out of nowhere when we saw Cloud, Seph, and Crono be strong in 2002 is what makes him stand out that year. But either way, I'd put Cloud 1st and Sephy 2nd. One of my favorite stats of all-time is comparing Sephiroth/Mega Man from 2002 and 2003. The 2003 match got 26,835 more votes than the 2002 match, and Mega Man's vote total across those two matches increased by...28. --- |

| Topic | Who was each year's contest MVP? |
| LeonhartFour 05/11/20 2:17:57 PM #4 | Well, the 2002 field was pretty bad! There aren't a lot of candidates outside of the Noble Nine. Scorpion is the obvious dark horse choice if you want a non-Noble Niner, and I'm not sure who else would even be in contention. He'd be like a 4th or 5th place finisher if you did actual voting though! --- |

| Topic | Who was each year's contest MVP? |
| LeonhartFour 05/11/20 2:14:37 PM #2 | I feel there's a good argument for Link as MVP in the first contest considering we didn't know anything that first year and Mario was the overall favorite. Link was a 2 seed, literally the only time he hasn't been a 1 seed. Link is like MJ or LeBron in that you can give it to him every contest he's eligible for (except for 2007 and 2013, I guess), but we'll look for a reason to give it to someone else. I guess it depends on what you value in giving the MVP award to people. Link very rarely has exciting matches except when he loses. I think Mega Man deserves some consideration for back-to-back 90% performances and fighting Sephy tooth and nail. --- |

| LeonhartFour 05/11/20 1:58:28 PM #274 | tgs2 posted... CT was putting up similar numbers for Melee (Registered users) and FFX. Either Melee stayed strong, or FFX weakned quite a lot. The latter does not help the "CT > OoT indirectly" cause one bit. not following your logic here FFX and Melee have been at similar strength levels in every contest they've shared together and 2015 was no different --- |

Speaking on a personal level, the stuff dealing with his father's death has legitimately been the most emotional part of the doc so far. It's definitely been interesting seeing all my fiancee learn all this stuff about him in real time. --- |

| LeonhartFour 05/11/20 10:53:52 AM #25 | I preferred Mario Kart when it was a simpler racer than what it eventually became from Double Dash onwards, so I'd probably rank SMK near the top. 64 is the best though. --- |

Honestly, I've used X-Stats to help with predictions maybe once in the past decade. They're fun to see more than anything. yeah I mostly do them for fun nowadays since the gaps between contests are so large now, especially games contests I don't use them directly for predictions all that much anymore --- |
