charmander6000 05/17/17 7:59:02 PM #425: | Match XXXI – Round 3 – 1991 vs. 1994 Previous Results 1991 Round 1: Defeated 1988, 87.54% - 12.46% Round 2: Defeated 2002, 54.91% - 45.09% 1994 Round 1: Defeated 2004, 58.69% - 41.31% Round 2: Defeated 2011, 62.02% - 37.98% Analysis After the first round the board was fairly confident in 1991, but now things appear to be a bit more even, with perhaps 1994 being considered a slight favourite. I always expected 2002 and 2004 to have some strength though they were clearly going to be weaker than 1991 and 1994. This was one the most debated matches during the bracket making period. Between 2002 and 2004 I feel 2002 is a bit stronger. Metroid Prime and Kingdom Hearts are both a stronger pair and had better picture position than Metal Gear Solid 3 and Half-Life 2. With that said 1994 does have some breathing room to work with. Among the games Super Mario World is considered to be the strongest though I feel Final Fantasy VI would go even against it. 1994 also has Super Metroid which easily defeats anything else 1991 has to offer. There is a chance we could see some SFF in this match. We’ve seen it in matches with years from the same generation; 1987/1985 and 1997/1996. SNES fans could potentially flock towards 1994, but I can see Genesis and Arcade fans going with 1991, though to be fair SNES fans do outnumber the other platforms. I’m going to bet on SFF, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the match turns out to be one of the closest in the contest. charmander6000’s Bracket: 1994 > 1991 charmander6000’s Prediction: 1994 wins, 63.12% - 36.88% --- Best Year in Gaming - Today's Winner: 2000 (oops) Current Bracket Score: 37/40 ...
