| Topic | my 5 best and worst picks in contest history |
| transience 03/06/20 8:25:04 PM #187: | WORST #1: Tetris TO THE FINALS (2004) The Legend of Zelda 74.57% 52197 Tetris 25.43% 17801 TOTAL VOTES 69998 Yeah, I can hear you snorting through my computer. This pick is suuuuuuuuuuuper dumb! The rationale is obvious: Tetris is a game the entire world has played, and that the entire world likes. As it turns out, Tetris is the Pac-Man of games - it's well-liked but put it against a game with name recognition and it just collapses. Put it in this contest and it would probably do really well! But put it against a big Nintendo game and it dies. And the worst opponent you could give it is The Legend of Zelda. Tetris did well enough through the first two rounds but Zelda's first two rounds made it look like it was going to win the damn contest. This match came and it wasn't even close. If there was one match that said "all Zelda final four", it was this one. My 2004 games bracket is hilarious. It had Tetris, FF6, FF7 and FF10 in the semis. It had FF1 beating Mario 3 which is its own separate joke that isn't even worth writing about. It had Super Metroid over LTTP. It probably had SOTN over Goldeneye, Vice City over Melee and Metroid Prime over its eightpack. This one is so bad that it's probably not worth mentioning, but man, there's no doubt that it's my worst pick ever. --- xyzzy ... Copied to Clipboard! |
