My oracle for 2007 was 81.5%

My thought was "who the fuck is voting 2012 here?"

agh I lowered my oracle pick from 80 to 78 I shoud've listened to dtg instead of everyone else

I was expecting 2012 to get beaten worse than 1999. 1999 would destroy 2012. We're only one update in, though.

I never created a newb bracket before.

In 2002 I missed creating a bracket, though. I made my own written-down bracket after Morrigan beat Spyro by a margin that blew me away. I heard people on the board talking about TJF. I thought that must be a massive factor. As a result, I had Morrigan beating Mario (because I thought people didn't like Mario), and I had a Lara Croft vs. Samus final.

The worst pick I remember making in recent years is taking Kirby/Meta-Knight over Sonic/Robotnik in the rivals contest. I thought people would love Kirby/Meta-Knight, but I was soooo wrong.

So, based on the huge blowout by 2001, we can finally assume that people do look at more than the first picture listed? Of course, many voters may remember 2001 fondly... if not that, then the sight of Halo could cause a lot of the voters to remember that FFX and Melee were released the same year.

I'm guessing mid 40s. maybe 44-45%. That would mean 1 in 3 brackets got today wrong, which sounds about right.

You're winner!

Dang, 2001 is off to a good start, and I get the feeling it's not going to drop very much...

Ahhhh... I hate starting out the top so early. There's so much more pressure!

I'm definitely falling off after being almost 20 points off in SMB/LoZ!

We still don't know for sure if Castlevania and Mega Man are having that big of an impact, or if it's just Metroid that's pushing Zelda's year so far ahead. We can't just say everything with more depth is automatically going to win. I still think two strong games can still be enough to win against a year with three or four.

I didn't even notice the question marks... we need something much better than that to list the major games of that year.

'95 is proving to be a monster. '87 is also proving to be a monster. Dang, I'm looking forward to the match in round 2! (I don't feel so stupid anymore for switching to '87 at the last minute for round 2)

1987 has the absolute best mix of games represented possible. If it loses, it has no excuses.

Yep... this match proves that the picture order matters. A lot. This round is going to be so screwy. I hope the round 2 pictures will be different (and fairer).

2005 is really dominating, though. 1978 is almost as popular as 1979, so the difference between 2005 and 2009 this round is pretty large. Well, except that 1978's pic representation is worse than 1979's, so I guess the difference isn't quite THAT big.

It's all President Trump's fault I can't view them!

I wish it didn't always displays the games in a certain order .. if that happened the whole contest (which it won't, of course) Ulti might win this thing. 1990 and 1985 both seem to have a better shot now.

Oh, man. I had no idea 1987 had so little support against 1995. I guess everyone took The Show's advice to heart. I changed to 1987 at the last minute, though. I'm probably screwed now. You could call it my big upset special of the contest. The rest of my bracket is pretty much cookie-cutter.

I'm not a fan of these pictures. It looks less like "year xxxx vs. year yyyy" and more like "these four games" vs. "those four games". If it had characters from each of the four games instead, things would be different.

How do we access our bracket between when the brackets close and when the first match begins? I'm not 100% (sure) of my exact bracket.
