I don't really like my chances too much of winning a prize though because I went pretty low on Witcher 3 against Skyrim and pretty high on BOTW against Witcher 3 (unless a lot of people took Skyrim > Witcher, which I doubt)

but if I can just finish on the final leaderboard that'll be good enough for me

Which divisions would Super Mario Galaxy 2 have won if you replaced the winner with it?

I think it could have won any of them except 3 and 5. Man, the Mario franchise has looked great this contest.


Eh, it'd struggle to win any division. The only ones it absolutely wouldn't win are 1, 3, and 5 (obviously). I'd give it the best chance of winning 4, of course.

56/52. If the matches ended right here I would be getting 100 for the day. Ultimately, even 98 or even 97 would be okay as long as it is because Witcher 3 and Skyrim went high since people mostly went low. I wish I didn't go with BotW with 70% tomorrow. ;_;


Yeah, I think I can manage about the same at this point.

Just gotta hope BOTW lays the SFF smackdown (I've got 68% lawl), but I'm not optimistic!

for all of the antihype about Last of Us, the opposite can be said about Xenoblade (and no one is saying it). Xenoblade remaster is literally the only Nintendo game on record as coming out in 2020. the only one. I wonder if it stays as strong in future years.

I remember when we dumped a decently popular 90s game in a bracket quarter with a bunch of modern games.

SMRPG won pretty much effortlessly.

DKC2 would deserve to be a top ten game in this contest!

I mean yes, classic 2-D platformers and RPGs from the 90s would all finish in the top third of the X-Stats, but they wouldn't crush the contest

DKC2 barely beat a handheld Fire Emblem and Xenoblade before it really took off

I assume the GameFAQs Nintendo hierarchy is Zelda-Smash-Mario-Metroid (hell, Metroid might be over Mario nowadays), but after that, what Nintendo series would be above Xenoblade? Fire Emblem is certainly below it, that much is clear.
