GameFAQs contests sincerely raise a high unique bar of joy that's hard to match on the internet.

A lot of it is nostalgia from youth, I know the site and internet are different today, sometimes the anticipation exceeds the contest whether from some predictable matches or outside rallying ruining things...all that, sure, whatever, it haopens. but in spite of such challenges these contests have been truly a great way to celebrate video games and have introduced me to many of them. They connect me with this community about as much as anything, because nobody else understands how big a deal it was that Mario barely bear Crono in 2002 and Mario barely beat Samus in 2018.

There has been no substitute. Here's to hoping the contests can return again one day soon.
