Who would have won? Would Link been as strong as he was in the earlier 2000s if not stronger? What other things would have been different from 02?

What if Gamefaqs did a contest in 1992?

Crono wins in 1998
1999 becomes more of a toss-up. Cloud & Seph have had another year to settle in, OoT has finally come out. --- Grats to BKSheikah, a guru ahead of his time. http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif ... Copied to Clipboard!

Why wouldn't FFVII just win in 98?

FFVII wasn't even as popular as FFVI still in 1999. Cloud/Seph probably wouldn't win in 1999 either, but i feel pretty confident in saying they don't win 1998. --- Grats to BKSheikah, a guru ahead of his time. http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif ... Copied to Clipboard!

We had ffvi beat ffvii in a poll in recent years too, even if by a much smaller margin.

I don't think much would have been different in 1999 versus 2002.
The Summer of '97, (pre-Ocarina and just before FF7 released in the US), could have been interesting though. --- BKSheikah dominated even The Show hosts in 2017, wow! board8.wikia.com | thengamer.com/xstats ... Copied to Clipboard!

You're talking a contest where Crash Bandicoot has legitimate strength and people's brackets are burned when DK chokes despite DK64 being released mid-contest.
That's dangerous. --- http://i.imgur.com/Ao8TMdc.jpg Doin' Game Design Vids: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJr7DrVt9FEQjys6mWP8Y1w ... Copied to Clipboard!

I could take a stab at 1997 too, possibly 1992 later on.

Anybody want to take a swing at predicting my 1999 bracket? I'll have a go. Round 1 Mario beats Edge Tails beats Duke Nukem Aeris beats Kain Samus beats Doomguy Falco beats Aya Brea Crono beats Morrigan Magus beats Parappa The Rapper Donkey Kong beats Musashi Link beats Abe Sub-Zero beats Alucard Ryu beats Spyro Ganondorf beats Marina Liteyears Kefka beats Terra Sigma upsets Pikachu (Pikachu was anti-voted to oblivion for years before he gained strength, and Mega Man characters do well here) Kirby beats Pac-Man Solid Snake beats Vectorman Lara Croft beats Akira Yuki Tifa beats Squall (This is a close one, but in 1999, Final Fantasy VII is more popular than VIII. Nowadays, Squall would probably be the favourite to win this match, for now at least. We'll have to wait and see how the FFVII remake goes.) Fox beats Claire Redfield Simon Belmont upsets Leon Kennedy (Leon doesn't have Resident Evil 4 yet) Ramza upsets Gordon Freeman (Gordon Freeman Never Wins) Mega Man beats Strider Jill Valentine beats Banjo Sephiroth beats Ms. Pac-Man Sonic beats Guybrush Threepwood Zelda beats Fei Fong Wong Luigi beats Bomberman Charizard beats Ken Scorpion upsets Revolver Ocelot (These two are around the same level in strength, but Scorpion is the face of his game, which gives him the edge) Crash Bandicoot beats Luca Blight Knuckles beats Captain Falcon Cloud beats Little Mac Round 2 Mario beats Tails Samus beats Aeris Crono beats Falco Magus beats Donkey Kong (It's tough to choose which choke artist chokes harder, but one of them has to win, and Magus might get overflow from Crono being in the last match.) Link beats Sub-Zero Ganondorf beats Ryu Sigma upsets Kefka (Kefka doesn't have Dissidia yet, and that didn't make a difference against a character from the same game as him, but now it does) Snake beats Kirby Tifa beats Lara Croft Fox beats Simon Belmont Mega Man beats Ramza Sephiroth beats Jill Sonic beats Zelda Luigi beats Charizard (Charizard gets Pokemon anti-votes, though to a lesser extent than Pikachu. Ken is weak enough that Charizard can overcome them, but Luigi is too strong for Charizard to beat while handicapped.) Crash Bandicoot upsets Scorpion (Very risky pick here, but in 1999 Crash was one of the faces of Playstation and he was coming off three well-received games, and maybe he gets Crash Team Racing during the contest, whereas the popularity of Mortal Kombat was in decline at the time) Cloud beats Knuckles Sweet 16 Mario beats Samus Crono SFFs Magus Link SFFs Ganondorf Snake beats Sigma Tifa beats Fox Sephiroth beats Mega Man Sonic beats Zelda Cloud beats Crash Bandicoot Division Finals Mario beats Crono Link beats Snake Sephiroth beats Tifa Cloud beats Sonic Semi Finals Link beats Mario Cloud beats Sephiroth Final Link beats Cloud Ultimate Loser = Leon Kennedy (Link > Cloud > Sephiroth > Tifa > Fox > Simon Belmont > Leon) I'd quite like to see Alucard vs Sub-Zero and Crash Bandicoot vs Scorpion matches in a modern contest after this. ...

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3-lets-end-the-debate-now-which-was-the-best-final-fantasy this poll literally has less than 6000 votes so unless every match in 1998 has that few votes it means nothing (and it still wouldn't matter even if that was the case because we've seen over and over and over again that POTDs and contests aren't the same. FFVI beat FFVII one-on-one in a POTD and got 60/40'd in the contest) --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Sigma got in over Zero? Heresy.
On Squall/Tifa, note that FFVIII wasn't released outside Japan until September 1999 while this contest started in August. How that match goes might depend a lot on exactly what the date of the match is. Biggest disagreement I have with the other guy is that Pokemon probably isn't going to be heavily antivoted in 1999 (IRL the backlash didn't really seem to set in until 2001) and I just don't think Sigma is worth a whole lot no matter what the year is. Leon wouldn't have been anything special pre-RE4 but RE2 had only come out the year before and I'm not sure Simon 1999 is gonna be a whole lot better than Simon 2002. Given that the match is pre-Final Fantasy Chronicles and pre-Chrono Cross I feel Donkey Kong probably beats Magus. On Crash/Scorpion: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/20-whos-your-favorite-mascot That's pretty encouraging for Crash! --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO BKSheikah NO PEACE] ... Copied to Clipboard!

Huh. Okay, point.
Still think he takes Sigma but that's probably more on Sigma than Pikachu being worth much. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO BKSheikah NO PEACE] ... Copied to Clipboard!
