for a 128 games contest, I'd predict League of Legends would make it in, though not as a high seed. I'd predict it get something in the 10-13 seed range, then go up against some strong 90s Nintendo game first round, and lose.
Thus I figured it'd be worth it to get one of my favorite games a higher seed, then maybe it could win a few matches against lower competition.
For Super Smash Bros.(original), without the Guru nomination I think it would get somewhat forgotten as well. On its own strength, I'd say it gets a 6-8 seed. With the guru nomination, I could see it getting a 3-5 seed(yes 3) and doing ALOT of damage. When you think about late 90s nostalgia(the source of Final Fantasy 7(1997) and Ocarina of Time(1998)'s strength) there is no stronger game for that than the original Smash for the voters of this site. Smash original was released in 1999 and would receive much of the same favor.
I'd argue that their memories of playing Smash 64 with friends in their youth/teenage years are more memorable and strongly etched in their mind of GameFaqs voters than that of playing even Ocarina of Time.
