Analysis

This is the final match of the contest. 2001 got a bit lucky last round with 1997 missing two out of its top four games. The picture has been the big story of this contest. It’s unsurprising since I doubt most people know what year a particular game came out. SBAllen has gone all out with the picture; giving both years 12 games though I doubt people will sit there and wait for almost a minute to see all the games.

1998 has shown it is a very dominant year, even more so than I expected. Honestly I’d expect 2001 to have a close match with 1994 and here’s 1998 getting around a doubling. The picture seems balanced for both years so 2001 isn’t getting any favours this time.

There is the possibility that 2001 may over perform because people expect 1998 to easily win. We saw it with Sephiroth and Samus in 2005 and 2006 respectably. My prediction will be based on the normal strength of 2001, but if the year breaks 40% I feel some other factor may be in play.
