Anybody want to take a swing at predicting my 1999 bracket?


I'll have a go.

Round 1

Mario beats Edge
Tails beats Duke Nukem
Aeris beats Kain
Samus beats Doomguy
Falco beats Aya Brea
Crono beats Morrigan
Magus beats Parappa The Rapper
Donkey Kong beats Musashi

Link beats Abe
Sub-Zero beats Alucard
Ryu beats Spyro
Ganondorf beats Marina Liteyears
Kefka beats Terra
Sigma upsets Pikachu (Pikachu was anti-voted to oblivion for years before he gained strength, and Mega Man characters do well here)
Kirby beats Pac-Man
Solid Snake beats Vectorman

Lara Croft beats Akira Yuki
Tifa beats Squall (This is a close one, but in 1999, Final Fantasy VII is more popular than VIII. Nowadays, Squall would probably be the favourite to win this match, for now at least. We'll have to wait and see how the FFVII remake goes.)
Fox beats Claire Redfield
Simon Belmont upsets Leon Kennedy (Leon doesn't have Resident Evil 4 yet)
Ramza upsets Gordon Freeman (Gordon Freeman Never Wins)
Mega Man beats Strider
Jill Valentine beats Banjo
Sephiroth beats Ms. Pac-Man

Sonic beats Guybrush Threepwood
Zelda beats Fei Fong Wong
Luigi beats Bomberman
Charizard beats Ken
Scorpion upsets Revolver Ocelot (These two are around the same level in strength, but Scorpion is the face of his game, which gives him the edge)
Crash Bandicoot beats Luca Blight
Knuckles beats Captain Falcon
Cloud beats Little Mac

Round 2

Mario beats Tails
Samus beats Aeris
Crono beats Falco
Magus beats Donkey Kong (It's tough to choose which choke artist chokes harder, but one of them has to win, and Magus might get overflow from Crono being in the last match.)

Link beats Sub-Zero
Ganondorf beats Ryu
Sigma upsets Kefka (Kefka doesn't have Dissidia yet, and that didn't make a difference against a character from the same game as him, but now it does)
Snake beats Kirby

Tifa beats Lara Croft
Fox beats Simon Belmont
Mega Man beats Ramza
Sephiroth beats Jill

Sonic beats Zelda
Luigi beats Charizard (Charizard gets Pokemon anti-votes, though to a lesser extent than Pikachu. Ken is weak enough that Charizard can overcome them, but Luigi is too strong for Charizard to beat while handicapped.)
Crash Bandicoot upsets Scorpion (Very risky pick here, but in 1999 Crash was one of the faces of Playstation and he was coming off three well-received games, and maybe he gets Crash Team Racing during the contest, whereas the popularity of Mortal Kombat was in decline at the time)
Cloud beats Knuckles

Sweet 16
Mario beats Samus
Crono SFFs Magus
Link SFFs Ganondorf
Snake beats Sigma
Tifa beats Fox
Sephiroth beats Mega Man
Sonic beats Zelda
Cloud beats Crash Bandicoot

Division Finals
Mario beats Crono
Link beats Snake
Sephiroth beats Tifa
Cloud beats Sonic

Semi Finals
Link beats Mario
Cloud beats Sephiroth

Final
Link beats Cloud

Ultimate Loser = Leon Kennedy (Link > Cloud > Sephiroth > Tifa > Fox > Simon Belmont > Leon)

I'd quite like to see Alucard vs Sub-Zero and Crash Bandicoot vs Scorpion matches in a modern contest after this.
