Another way to see it is BotW got 68% on ME2 in 2020 and MGS3 got 61% on ME2 in 2015. Assuming ME2 didn't randomly boost in strength, then BotW would get about 60% on MGS3 and I don't think MGS3 is that strong. In 2010, MM got 58% on it. In 2015, MGS3 got 52% on Bioshock, which only got 61% on SH2. Now there's very likely some rally spillover but even giving MGS3 an extra 5-6% would still put Bioshock only slightly below Persona 5/Dark Souls.

In 2020, BotW got 56% on Witcher 3 and with KP's rally adjustments, BotW would get 59% on Witcher 3 and around 62-63% on Skyrim. I'd say 59% is probably the lowest I can see BotW getting on SSBU (without SFF), since that'll set Spider-Man = DQXI and any lower would send Spider-Man into ME2/TLOU/GoW territory.

On the other hand, in 2015, WW got 63% on KOTOR and 46% on FFVI and through FFVI, would get 64% on Paper Mario TTYD. I see no reason why WW would have any issues beating MGS3 since WW = MGS3 would mean KOTOR and Paper Mario have fallen so much they'd be struggling to beat SH2 and only get 44% on Bioshock. In 2015, TP got 65% on Persona 4 and 43% on SM64. Even without using the P4 argument, TP and Bioshock both faced KH2 in 2010 and TP was worth 62% on Bioshock.

Either way, I think the newer games are being overrated. They haven't had any competition except against other newer games, whereas the 00s games "look bad" because they got put up against SNES/N64 games. It's way easier to look impressive delivering a beatdown on AC:O than it is going up against FFVI.

If I had to guess, I'd say using BotW as a base
- MM would be worth 47%
- WW would be worth around 44-45%
- TP would be worth around 43-44%
- Witcher 3/Smash Ultimate would be around 41-42%
- MGS3/MGS1 would be around 40%
- Skyrim would be around 37-38%

MP and FFX have too many other variables so I'm not delivering a verdict here, but I think they'll look pretty good against the new games although FFX could always shit the bed like usual.
