Master Moltar 05/04/17 11:04:28 PM #137:	Round 1 – 2008 vs. 2009 Moltar’s Analysis We already watched 2009 trounce a fodder year to get into the bracket, but now that it’s here, it’s going to fight a year that can fight back. 2009 doesn’t have any world-beater games, and neither does 2008. However, with Brawl, Persona 4, Fallout 3, and MGS4, that list of games says a little bit more to me than 2009’s games. Comparing them all straight up, I’d put all those 2008 games over 2009, but it would be fairly close. So with that, I’m going to go out on a limb here and predict that this isn’t going to be a blowout. 2008 just has a little more depth and strength than 2009, and I think that will be reflected here in a...relatively close match based off what we’ve seen so far. Moltar’s Bracket: 2008 Moltar’s Prediction: 2008 - 63% transience’s Analysis 2008's like 2006 - three or four big games, games that were big but now aren't AS big. MGS4, Brawl and Fallout 3 have been kind of trumped by either their predecessors or expectations. MGS4 has fallen to 1-3, Brawl stopped being relevant when Smash 4 came out and Fallout 3.. well, Fallout 3 is probably still a big deal. 4 didn't displace it. Skyrim did, though, and I wonder if F3 still has the cache that it had a few years back. Doesn't matter though. Its opponent is 2009 which kind of struggled against friggin' 1979. Its picture, assuming it's reusing the one from the wildcard round which the file naming convention suggests, is a couple of western action games, Minecraft and SF4. 2008 should take care of that easily by having RPGs and Nintendo games. 2009 has neither. 2008 would have been a fun debate against some other gaming years but it gets fed to 01 next round. Not worth going too deep here. transience's prediction: 2008 with 75.55% Leonhart’s Analysis 2009 had an easy win in the Wild Card round, but this is where it ends. 2008 has three games featured in its match pic that would easily beat any game from 2009: MGS4, Fallout 3, and Brawl. Say what you will about MGS4 and Brawl not being what they used to be, but they’re still pretty strong. I’d wager Persona 4 can hang in there with any of 2009’s games, too. 2009 has some good midcarders behind it, but it’s simply outclassed by 2008. This might be the closest match of the contest to date, but that’s not saying much!
