#3 Painful Pick - Squall > Vincent (2005)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/2119-devil-division-final-vincent-valentine-vs-squall-leonhart

Man, this one hurt so much because I was still on such a high after being proven right about Squall > Magus! I thought Squall was in good position to finally win a division and make the fourth round for the first time. Despite only getting 53-54% on Knuckles in round 2, I felt good about his chances because I figured Knux was getting some bandwagon effect from his huge upset over Magus. Plus, Vincent had only gotten 54% on Dante, which didn't make me think he was going to run away with this match.

Well, for the first several hours, the match was neck and neck. Vincent jumped out to an early lead, but Squall overtook him with the night vote. However, once morning hit, Vincent caught back up and basically just slowly held Squall at bay for the remainder of the day. It was rough seeing Squall so close to victory and yet unable to close the gap. It was a slow death. Regardless, I had been proven right about Squall's near elite strength despite so many others doubting him. Can we bring these days of the contest back please?

#3 Bad Pick - Final Fantasy XII to Round 4 (2010)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/4155-southwest-division-round-2-portal-vs-final-fantasy-xii

On the other end of the spectrum is this pick! It wasn't that I necessarily believed Final Fantasy XII was popular. It had gotten crushed by Twilight Princess in the 2006 GOTY, but I mean, just about anything would have that year. Then it got saddled with TP again in 2009 and narrowly lost out to Half-Life in round 1. The issue was more that I didn't trust its competition. This was the time in our history where western games and PC games were starting to make inroads here, but it didn't feel like they had totally arrived yet. FFXII's two biggest competitors in its half of the division were western games: Portal and Mass Effect. I honestly didn't feel great about it, but I wouldn't have felt great about whatever I had taken there.

But it became pretty clear just after round 1 that I was potentially in trouble. Portal had put up 70%+ on Gears of War 2, while Final Fantasy XII had struggled to put up 55% on Crisis Core. My only hope was that the Final Fantasy VII name was worth that much, no matter what you attached it to, but that was flimsy and I knew it. Well, it didn't take long for Portal to expose FFXII for the fraud it was, putting up nearly 65% at the freeze. FFXII slowly whittled away at the percentage throughout the match to make it look slightly less embarrassing, but we had never seen Final Fantasy beat down by a western PC game like this before. We were certainly entering in to a new era of these contests.

#3 Good Pick - Ryu to Round 4 (2007)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/2870-division-2-round-1-bowser-mewtwo-ryu-toad
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/2898-division-2-round-2-auron-shadow-ryu-bowser
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/2912-division-2-final-cloud-marcus-auron-ryu

I won't go so far as to say I invented the term LFF (because I honestly don't remember who did), but I was definitely one of the earliest proponents of the concept. As such, my bracket reflected that, and it's probably part of the reason I was able to finish on the final leaderboard despite some bad picks elsewhere. Now I had been burned taking Ryu over Bowser in 2005, but I believed that version of Bowser was artificially inflated by his Villains Contest run, which led to him (and Ganondorf) having unusually high prediction percentages in all their matches (and we love voting brackets). Just to give you an idea, 86% had Ganondorf beating Yuna, 88% had Bowser beating Chun-Li, 67% had Ganondorf beating Auron, 64% had Bowser beating Ryu, Samus dropped from 85% against Frog to just under 50% against Ganondorf, and Bowser had 38% of the entire site taking him to win a division we all thought was loaded and wide open pre-contest. Bowser didn't look quite that fearsome in 2006, only managing 55% on Leon Kennedy before netting just 42% on Crono the round after.

So my belief in Bowser's inflated value coupled with an ideal first round matchup, where it was Ryu against three Nintendo characters, convinced me to take him to win round 1 outright, which he easily did. Then I thought the momentum from that win, as well as introducing someone more popular than both of them in Auron, would allow Ryu to scrape by Bowser again. People blamed that loss on some sort of weird Bowser/Shadow the Hedgehog LFF, but I don't buy that. Bowser just wasn't as good this year (or the year after, for that matter). Then I thought Ryu would be a cinch in round 3 when you threw Cloud into the mix to sap Auron's strength. It turned out to be closer than I anticipated, but still, he pulled it off! Despite seemingly having this wide open path, only 12 Gurus had Ryu reaching round 4 in 2007. My bad pick from 2005 had been avenged, and it was really fun to see a character I like a lot finally make a deep run in the contest.

The CT crew's poor 2013 draws made people forget how much better they looked in that contest than in the 2007-2010 stretch.

But did they really? They all faced utter crap in round 1. Even Magus couldn't blow a match to Otacon and Jade Curtiss, and it was arguable as to whether Crono would've beaten Pikachu even with a neutral third opponent.

Sephiroth went from 60% on Mario in 2003 to 40% on Mario in 2018. That's a precipitous drop, even when you account for Mario gaining in strength in that time as well.

Vincent's dropped a good bit from his peak, too, but nothing like Seph.

I guess you could make an argument for 2007 Master Chief to now, but he's always been all over the place. I suppose there's Shadow the Hedgehog, too, if you count the Mario result as legit.

#4 Painful Pick - Pokemon R/B/Y to the finals (2015)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6165-best-game-ever-day-34-division-iii-final-pokemon-red-blue-vs
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6180-best-game-ever-bonus-pokemon-red-blue-vs-super-mario-64

On the other end of the spectrum was this. I had been repeatedly burned by choosing not to believe in PokeFEAR over the last few contests. In a division loaded with Mario games, where I would have been tempted to pick any and all of them to beat Pokemon R/B/Y (trust me, picking Mario 3 to lose in round two really hurt), I determined that I was going to commit to Pokemon to the finals and stick with it, no matter how tempted I was to switch. There were people like transience who chose to believe in Chrono Trigger, and I chose to believe in R/B/Y.

Unfortunately, Undertale ruined what could have been a legendary division as Pokemon tried to run the Mario gauntlet. I know bonus polls aren't necessarily reliable as a measurement of contest strength, but the fact that R/B/Y took Mario 64 to the woodshed in that bonus poll only served as a frustrating reminder that I may have actually been right if it hadn't been for all the chaos. Rallies are the worst, man.

#4 Bad Pick - Final Fantasy X > Chrono Trigger (2015)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6147-best-game-ever-day-25-round-3-chrono-trigger-vs-final

Now rest assured that I was far from alone in believing Chrono Trigger would fall early in this contest, whether it was to Final Fantasy X or Super Smash Bros. Melee the round after that. Final Fantasy X was actually the Guru favorite this round, and Melee was the Guru favorite the next. There was a lot of reason to be skeptical of Chrono Trigger coming into 2015. The characters had been slowly waning in popularity over the years. Magus literally lost to a bag of sand in 2008. Crono had suffered a few early round exits, against Vincent in 2007, against Missingno in 2010, and against Pikachu in 2013. The game itself had struggled in 2009 compared to 2004, losing to Super Mario 64 twice, including once with Yoshi's Island in the poll.

Well, something happened to Chrono Trigger in the interim because it came out with a vengeance in the first couple of rounds, while Final Fantasy X underwhelmed against Half-Life in round 1 and could barely manage 55% on Mega Man X in round 2. I came into this match expecting the worst, and it still somehow exceeded my expectations. Chrono Trigger was doubling Final Fantasy X at the freeze, and then it jumped up to over 68% on the second update! This was basically that moment in SC2K3 when Cloud doubled Sonic and you realized, "Holy crap, he could actually beat Link." People had been talking about it, but you didn't really believe it until that moment. That was what this was. That was when people started thinking that Chrono Trigger could actually be more popular than Ocarina of Time.

Unfortunately, we know the rest of the story and it never got the chance to prove itself because, once again, Melee fans are the worst because they have the biggest inferiority complex of any gaming fanbase.

#4 Good Pick - Tifa > Mewtwo & Mega Man X (2018)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7328-division-7-round-2-tifa-vs-mewtwo
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7347-division-7-semifinal-tifa-vs-mega-man-x

My oft-repeated phrase throughout the 2018 campaign was "MEWTWO IS A FRAUD!" But where did that even start? Well, prior to the start of the contest, I put up a poll asking people who they thought the strongest non-Noble Nine Square and Nintendo characters were. I don't even remember who won the Square one. I think it was pretty evenly split between Squall, Auron, and Vivi, maybe, which I expected. What I didn't expect was that Mewtwo won the Nintendo poll, over Ganondorf, Kirby, Bowser, Luigi, Pikachu, Charizard, Zelda, all of those! That result legitimately surprised me because I thought it was blatantly obvious that 2013 Mewtwo's run was a total fluke, like most of the Pokemon's that year. He beat Vincent, who had one of the worst pictures ever. A guy who thrives on looking cool suddenly looked like the guy who does your taxes. Then everything snowballed after that with rallies and bandwagons, and none of it was legit.

I was exceptionally pleased to see Mewtwo was poised to square off with Tifa in round two because I thought she had a legitimate argument to be the strongest non-Noble Nine Square character (and I was proven correct about that and then some...!). Even as the rest of Square seemed to be dropping off over the years, Tifa held firm for, well, two very firm reasons. But I was also pleased to see that Tifa was also lined up to face Mega Man X after that, which was another character I thought was overrated. I'd heard people tout him as being on par with Mega Man Classic, which I've never believed (because Mega Man Classic doesn't only get 65% on Captain John Price and only 60% on Red). That ended the argument for me. I didn't trust his 2008 run where he was saddled with Mario and had repeated opportunities to look better than he was because Mario was always saddled with another Nintendo character.

Anyway, Tifa/Mewtwo turned out to be a laugher, quite literally. She was up to 57% at the freeze during Nintendo's best time, and I laughed with great delight in only having to wait 5 minutes to be proven right! Mega Man X proved to be a much tougher fight. After being tied at the freeze, X jumped ahead and built a 400+ vote lead. However, Tifa took advantage of the Euro-vote, where Mega Man always sucks, to take the lead back. They went back and forth with both sides openly rallying until someone had the brilliant idea of, yes, you guessed it, rallying for Tifa on hentai sites, which made a lot of people upset, for whatever the reason. There were users decrying the result as illegitimate and ruining the contest. Some people say X would've won without it, but they were both rallying furiously, so who knows! They're close enough that you could consider them essentially equal and a rematch could've gone either way.

Unfortunately, for all my faith in Tifa, I actually took Luigi to beat her the next round. My reasoning was that I firmly believed that the winner of this division had a legit shot at beating Sephiroth, and I didn't think Tifa would be able to overturn the hierarchy. Well, I turned out to be half right, in any case!

Dragon Ball Episode 88 complete!

Poor Yamcha. You actually managed to pull off a Kamehameha only for it to backfire on you, literally. Oh well, I figured we were headed for a Goku/Tien final here, so Yamcha losing was inevitable.

Eh, I don't switch up orbments too much. You should be able to afford good enough stuff for everyone in your party by that point.

The game makes it easy for anyone who falls behind to catch up on levels

but I always used the "right" characters for the boss fights during that part

also Smash 4 for 3DS and Smash 4 for Wii U are technically different games

I would anti-vote the 3DS version in a heartbeat because that thing is a mess to play

Castlevania Season 3 Episode 6 complete!

I can't tell if Hector doesn't realize he's being played or if he knows he's being played and is trying to play them back. Also, that was one trippy dream.

Anyway, people who would vote for Mario Kart 8 will probably just assume the Deluxe version is implicitly included.

Eh, that's fine. It's basically the same game, and it's probably more widely played than the original at this point. Plus, MK8 is still a game that came out this decade.

P4G's a bit of a different situation. It has more reasons to be weaker than the original than MK8 would (since it's not being advertised as "Deluxe" in the first place).

or he could play jak and daxter (or ratchet and clank, i'll give you that) where all of the games are good

I only say the first two because I haven't played Lightning Returns yet! It might be good for all I know...!

R&C > J&D though

I dunno about "blow away." Pikachu would win, but it'd probably be like 55/45.
