Oh yeah Melee rallies. Without them I'd take it to lose to Wind Waker by now. Wouldn't take Mario Galaxy over KH2 but I think it would get closer than you might think. I would take MGS1/3 over KH2, Metroid Prime vs. either KH might be a good match.

For what it's worth, if you take my adjusted 2015 stats and hold Galaxy 2 constant between 2015 and 2020, The Witcher 3 gets 63% on its 2015 self (!), Skyrim gets 44% on its 2015 self, and Dark Souls gets 58% on its 2015 self. The Last of Us and Arkham City actually didn't decline much and MGSV amazingly managed to increase ever so slightly. Based on this TLOU's bad loss to Dark Souls is more the latter going nuts and less the former dropping.

Tony is a jokester in the MCU because people on set loved RDJ's ad-libs on the set of the first movie.

Haven't seen Age of Ultron since it came out and don't remember liking it.

Going by my adjusted 2015 x-stats, The Witcher 3 went up by 13% holding Mario Galaxy 2 constant. This would mean Skyrim went down 5% and Dark Souls went up 5%. The Skyrim/TLOU ratio is basically the same in my adjusted 2015 stats and 2020, at least if I'm remembering 2020 correctly (Dark Souls got 58% on The Last of Us and then 45% on Skyrim, right? And then Skyrim got 45% on The Witcher 3?).

Why do people keep joking about Biden having dementia? He seems very well-spoken for someone his age if anything. I wasn't very enthusiastic about him before the election but now I'm so grateful at just the likelihood America is going to have a President who looks and sounds like one after four years of a madman.

Biden just doesn't want there to be only one party. He does want there to be opposition of some kind.

Why do people act like the left is the party of social justice crusaders?

Actually yeah I'd probably pick Fallout 3 over MGS4 on further reflection, given the logic I used to pick Dark Souls > Skyrim in GOTD worked so well. Should note though that in my adjusted 2015 x-stats MGS4 still finishes in the top 35% of the bracket, even after I pulled Chrono Trigger's whole division down a good deal - to the point it has Wind Waker and Twilight Princess beating Melee (which I could totally see after how badly Breath of the Wild destroyed Ultimate. I think this site is KIND OF over Smash, honestly).

Also in hindsight we really shouldn't have been surprised by so many voting for Trump, considering all those lockdown protests.

Oh yeah and people are condemning Obama for speaking out against the Capitol riots just because he has lots of blood on his hands. Oh no!

---

Why do people act like the left is the party of social justice crusaders?

Is the Republican party truly dead if there is so much anti-liberal sentiment?

Then again if Trump is the best they can do it probably is, never mind.

Why do people act like the left is the party of social justice crusaders?

I keep getting scared by all these people claiming Trump really won the election, but then they make such a big deal out of violent Antifa/BLM riots and label Biden a communist and/or a Chinese stooge.

These people are hopeless. I swear they somehow think mainstream news media are the only reason people hate Trump so much. As I barely follow news or politics and still hear a lot of bad about Trump, well I'm just going to have to deny that bigtime.

I think you're underestimating how strong Chrono Trigger has become over the past decade. Just look at the gap between OoT and the rest of the field.

If any game looked "weak" in 2015 was FFVII (and arguably Skyrim).

The official adjusted stats have Chrono Trigger getting 54% on Ocarina of Time. I adjusted CT down to 51% on OOT and its whole division went down accordingly.

Hearthstone was dead last by any metric regardless

Yeah I didn't have to adjust a lot of the bracket too much, which is a relief and a half. Part of me wonders if the RBY/SMB3/SMW trio should be adjusted upwards, but they're in a surprisingly good place considering.

Half-Life 2, Demon's Souls, Fallout 3's fourpack, BioShock, Silent Hill 2, and Sonic 2's fourpack all received the most adjustments. Past that, I adjusted Chrono Trigger down to 51% on Ocarina of Time instead of 54% (seriously guys, what was up with that?) which resulted in that whole division going down, then I adjusted FFVI up 1% on CT and its eightpack accordingly (this resulted in a net negative) and similarly with Super Mario RPG with its eightpack being adjusted accordingly. I kept Metroid Prime's (and therefore Morrowind's), GoldenEye's (and therefore Diablo II's), Final Fantasy VIII's (and therefore Vice City's) and Resident Evil 4's (and its eightpack as a result) numbers on CT the same as the official adjusted stats which resulted in all those games going down too.
