Topic	transience presents: the 75 most important matches in contest history
transience 12/16/18 4:18:03 PM #52:	69. MGS4 was amazing in the 2009 game contest. It had a great down to the wire win over Brawl thanks to Twilight Princess being in the same poll and rocked both RE4 and Fallout 3 on its way to the semis. In the semis, it gave FF10 a fight, and if it would have won, it's possible that we have a different winner of that contest. MGS4 walks into GOTD as the likely #1 MGS game of the decade, maaaybe #2 behind MGS3, but definitely not behind MGS2. It was shaky against Diablo 2, but maybe Diablo 2 was good -- after all, we'd theorized for years that it might have been better than Starcraft if it made the 2004 contest. SOTC needed the full 12 hours to barely nudge MGS2 though so MGS4 would win. And then this happened. MGS4 got exposed. The game that had an amazing run with Brawl in 2008 and went far in 2009 just kinda fell off the earth. In 2015, MGS4 got blown the hell up by KH2 and is basically a footnote in contest history at this point. SOTC's next match would be MGS3, and after these two wins, why the hell not? --- xyzzy <cite>transience posted [p:914228803] in transience... [t:77307455]...</cite> <quote>69.
