Kleenex’s Analysis

Space Invaders is pretty cool I guess. Man, these early years really didn't need to be here. I get wanted to give face time to these early games, but this is going to be another route.

More interesting in this match is 2005's strength, or lack thereof. 4 Resident Evil is a fairly big deal on this site, and we obviously love some Ace Attorney. SotC had that fun run in GotD...but I'm not convinced that's going to be enough. Beyond those 3 games, 2005 is kind of a void of nothingness and honestly, Ace Attorney isn't adding much strength to that concoction. I think 2005 will be a big test of how much one game can carry a year.

2005 with 72%



Guest’s Analysis - t_kizzle

Rarely have we seen a weaker contest entity than 1978. Space Invaders is this year’s big anchor, a game whose entire contest history amounts to a finish in the bottom six of the 2009 x-stats. Many years’ fifth-most notable games could beat Space Invaders handily, and SI is 1978’s strongest game by a large margin, probably being the only thing here that 95% of GameFAQs users have ever even heard of.

What years would fail to at least double 1978? 1979, certainly; maybe ‘86 or ‘83, though they’d still win handily. The point being, this match was always going to be one of the blowouts of the contest, and when 1978’s opponent is a year anchored by two veteran midcarders you know it’s gonna be ugly.

Prediction:

2005 with 88.65%
1978 with 11.35%
