Which would've been?

I'll divide this one into two different questions:

1._Which game would you have nominated without knowing the actual field?
2._Which game would you have nominated after knowing the brackets entrants?

  1. Hyrule Warriors
  2. Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 (unless I had confirmation that Allen didn't consider Hyrule Warriors as part of the Zelda series)

1. SSB4 or BotW
2. SSB4

OoT 3D is a good one but I probably wouldn't have gone for it since I wouldn't have expected it to be eligible. Even knowing the bracket I think there's a chance SBAllen vetoes it anyways.

Never heard of it.

A Dragon Quest/Mario crossover party game? Sounds interesting.

Forza Horizon 2, 3 or 4

3 is my favourite though 4 would probably perform slightly better.

1: Maybe Splatoon 2, just to give it a higher seed than I'd otherwise expect it to get and give it a chance at a winnable match.

2: Pokemon BW, because it's so strange how the series is considered so strong and yet most of the individual games are weak. I still can't believe that there's only one in the bracket now.

Super Meat Boy was a great pick and I might have done the same pre-bracket release.

After knowing the field though? Spec Ops: the Line.

If I ever win the guru I'm nominating Pokmon, for any games or character contest. Its entrants almost always do well but have a hard time making the field / getting a decent seed.

1 is probably Hyrule Warriors, to see how much of Zelda's strength carries over

2 would definitely be Doki Doki Literature Club, it kills me that it very well could have won a match this contest but it wasn't included.

To the Moon, definitely. Beautiful game that I would've really enjoyed seeing facing off against low-midcarders.

I actually thought of (but not seriously considered) VVVVVV. Good thing I didn't go with that.

I still wonder if Super Meat Boy would've entered regardless, maybe with like a 13-14-seed at least.

Would probably have nominated a personal favorite that I knew would NEVER make the bracket like A Hat in Time or Hitman

Afterwards I woulda wanted to see God of War III or Sonic Generations. I want to know how those games stack up to GoW 2018 and Sonic Mania respectively

Hat Kid still entered CBX, so maybe with a small rally it could've make it in!

Pretty solid choices all around.

I might have been convinced to pick Sonic Mania. But I think it wouldve either been Yakuza 0, Dragon Quest XI or Final Fantasy XV.

And I wouldve won if you think that X wouldve won all the matches Tifa won after their match, so it would have been a wasted guru nom.

The highest ranking game on my personal top 25 of the decade that didn't make the contest already is Pyre, so I'd probably go with that.

Maybe also Apex Legends because that seems like the BR game that is least hated both here and around the internet.

I did a personal rally for Trails SC, but I don't know that I'd have used a Guru nom on it knowing it was really weak.

If I had known Ace Attorney would get shut out, I'd have probably chosen Dual Destinies.

The common route is free. It should give you a good idea of what the VN is about.

Think of it like Fate/Stay Night but instead of fighting AU versions of heroic figures... you fight an actual Nazi group with magical powers.

  1. Probably Danganronpa V3, mostly because I felt like the series was at a disadvantage having all three games in the series eligible, so this would eliminate the chance of the games splitting nominations.
  2. Untitled Goose Game. Especially now that rallies are just minor speed bumps these days, there's no reason not to have fun with HONK memes and such.
