Topic	my 5 best and worst picks in contest history
LeonhartFour 03/16/20 2:45:54 AM #235:	Bad Picks --Kingdom Hearts > Metroid Prime (2004) - This was a good pick in 2009, but not so much in 2004 since neither game even got to the match in question! I believed in KH1 after it basically turned Square's fortunes around in SC2K3, and yet it almost lost to SoulCalibur and bowed out without a fight to Starcraft. I took Prime > Wind Waker because I thought people loved Prime and they hated Wind Waker. After all, Link lost in part because of his cel-shaded design, right? Whoops. --Vivi > Zelda (2005) & Aerith > Zelda (2006) - I think tran put this on his main list, but I've apparently made many worse picks than he has...! Seriously though, I've always overestimated FF and underestimated Zelda in particular in these contests, and (other than Zelda in 2018 where she became a Noble Nine killer, R.I.P. Squall) I've never been more wrong about her than in these two matches. --Leon Kennedy > Tidus > Vivi/Pikachu (2007) - I've got a lot of bad picks related to Tidus (list spoilers)! I can't help picking him because I'm such a big fan. I went with the fanboy pick here, and my dreams were dashed early on when he got obliterated by Pikachu in round 1 (this was before we knew what a force Pikachu would become from this point forward). What was even more painful was that Tidus dragged Vivi down just enough the next round for Pikachu to advance again and then make a deep run. --Balthier (2007) - I was convinced Balthier was going to be the next big thing for Final Fantasy. He was easily the best part of FFXII, after all! But nope, he got his butt handed to him twice by Ada Wong before promptly being sent home. --So many GTA picks - Whether it's CJ > Ness (the original RacistFAQs match!), GTA > Warcraft, San Andreas > Golden Sun, or even Niko friggin' Bellic advancing two rounds in 2008, I keep picking these games to do well even though I know it's long past its prime. And apparently I just never learn because here I am picking GTAV to go to the division finals! what is wrong with me --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/080/145/638.png https://imgur.com/WqDcNNq <cite>LeonhartFour posted [p:935738578] in my 5 best ...
