| TsunamiXXVIII 05/02/17 7:23:03 PM #226: | This is a bad early sign. What happened to RetroFAQs?! Based on the games chosen for its marquee, 2009 was apparently complete and utter crap, yet it's breaking 80% on 1979 while 1989, a year that technically counts as part of the vaunted 16-bit era (but even if it didn't, it houses some all-time 8-bit classics), can't even break 70% on 1983. And let's be honest, 1979 should clearly be stronger than 1983. Sadly, we'll have to wait quite some time to get a read on what this means, because most of the next matches that compare different eras are pretty obvious. We all knew that the pre-1985 years would all lose this round, and we expect the more recent year to win 1995-1986. So the first real gauge of whether this is just an anomaly or not would be 2001 vs. 2014, which we expect to be a blowout in favor of the older year. If 2014 manages to not completely fold, consider me panicked. --- FC 5026-4424-6331 -- Native Vivillon type: Polar Still need Marine, Sun, Icy Snow, Monsoon, River, and Jungle ...
