Master Moltar 05/04/17 9:32:50 PM #123:	Round 1 – 2001 vs. 2014 Moltar’s Analysis Alright so 1987 is showing that depth is pretty important for a year’s strength. Now we’ve got 2001 which is one of the deepest ones in the contest to maybe back that up. Nintendo fans, Square fans, western fans, 2001 has a game for all of you here. Melee, FFX, GTA3, Halo, and the list goes on. 2014...yeah, it’s got nothing that stands up against those classics. The blowouts continue. Moltar’s Bracket: 2001 Moltar’s Prediction: 2001 - 75% transience’s Analysis Wow. Has any debated match ever been a bigger blowout than 1987/1985? I'm trying to think of something legitimately discussed that then turned into a tripling. Not bad 1987. Maybe we've got some SFF or something, who knows. Nothing makes sense. Okay, today is a much easier day. 2014 has basically one game: Smash 4. Unfortunately, 2001 has the granddaddy of Smash games. There's no way that Allen misses a chance to pit Melee and 4 up against each other in a picture. Maybe Smash 4 can hold its own, but the likes of Bayonetta 2 or Dark Souls 2 isn't going to hold up to whatever he could throw into the 2001 picture. FFX, GTA3, Halo.. Halo... You know, I wonder if Halo is actually a net negative for the year and there's no way you avoid putting the game that launched the Xbox in a picture about gaming years. Maybe we'll revisit this in later rounds. For now, 2001 takes it easy. transience's prediction: 2001 with 80.11% Leonhart’s Analysis As I watch 1987 crush 1985, I guess I might have to rethink my assertion that depth isn’t that important! But it could be some weird SFF, too, so who knows! I don’t think this will tell us too much about 2001 unless it goes really, really high or really, really low. It’s got all the games it needs in the match pic (I guess you could argue MGS2 would be a better inclusion, but eh), and 2014 has Destiny prominently featured in its match pic, which can’t be good for it. On the other hand, 2014 does have Smash 4 as the first game featured, opposite Halo 1 for 2001, but I don’t know if that will make any difference. There’s no way to tell unless 2014 overperforms and then we can speculate that it did.
