| Topic | transience presents: the 75 most important matches in contest history |
| HeroicSpiderPig 12/18/18 12:13:22 AM #287: | Samus/Tifa 2006's biggest influence was finally proving that pics mattered. The dominant view amongst the contest cognescenti at the time was that, outside of obvious jokes like Duke Milkem or Snake/Sora, pictures did not make a difference. Voters were not so stupid or so fickle as to not recognize or to not vote for someone based on their picture, especially someone at N9 level. Even Solid S*** was explained away. Oh Frog was being bandwagoned, Bowser really was that strong, etc. etc. We'd even had Snake/Yoshi just four days earlier which seemed to drive the point home, when Snake performed about as expected based on his 2005 numbers, the picture making no difference, or so we thought. Samus almost blowing the match was what finally laid that to rest for good. --- Congrats on Advokaiser for winning the 2018 Guru Contest! Yesmar ... Copied to Clipboard! |
