Topic	So I made a mock Game of the 90s bracket.
_SecretSquirrel 12/26/18 4:11:32 AM #54:	MetalmindStats posted... As for Mario RPG vs. Super Metroid, I still don't think that would be all that close. You say that the two games looked similar in 2015, but comparing bandwagon-less Mario RPG to Super Metroid, you get 55% on Oblivion vs. 49% on Majora's Mask. That makes me quite skeptical, but I suppose it would be difficult to devise a more interesting matchup for Super Metroid - maybe Mario 3, but even then, I'm not confident Super Metroid would be able to stand up to it. Super Metroid is an a bit of an akward place in the 2015 xstats. It's a bit below FF6 (which is where I'm drawing the line between elite and upper-midcard), but it's still decently above Mario RPG and everything else, making it a statistical island on its own. If it's really that strong, it's actually more likely it gives FF6 a match, which is one of the reasons I'd probably switch Divisions 2 and 3 to give the upset a chance. However, there's still a lot of merit in testing its floor as well, because its path in 2015 went through the sequence of LttP > Majora > Super Metroid. If it's being overvalued at all due to any SFF weirdness (LTTP vs. Majora also followed Undertale vs. RBY which is believed to have favored Majora), it could now be in range of being upset by Mario RPG or Castlevania SotN. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service!
