For me it's all fictional vs. Game of the 90s about tied, with best console and Series 2 a distant third and fourth

Hmmmm, Best Story In Gaming, now that would be an interesting twist, perhaps...
This is a good one. Itd automatically exclude almost all Nintendo games .

If we went the way of writing and story:

1) FF7 is back in action.

2) Metal Gear Solid trilogy boosts all day.

3) Mario's hurting and Pokemon's weaker.

4) Spoilers. Everywhere, spoilers.

We could do another "Top 100 Games of All Time", perhaps. Or, better yet, "Top 100 Characters of All Time"!

A console contest seems pretty terminally uninteresting to me. Like with Years, I just don't have an emotional attachment the same way I do with games or characters.

Yeah now that you mention it, a mini "Contest" for characters in 2021 could be a fun way to lead into the big All Fictional Character battle of 2022.

It's fine to feel that way personally, but remember, we've had over two decades of Console Wars ever since playgrounds in the 90s. WARS, I tell you! Even with our userbase having mellowed out, I still think things would get heated in a way they never did (or would have) during the Years mini-bracket.

Best Mook

No unique characters, just enemies that you fight loads of. Goombas v Motobugs. Slimes v Cactuars. Moblins v Daedra. Locust v Generic Ethnic Stereotype With a Gun
Yeah this is what I've wanted for a while

Though Pokemon (or at least legendaries+starters or something) might need to be banned

After BOTW's release yeah probably, but in 2015 CT was looking like it could at least challenge it. And even if OOT wins easily there will be plenty of great matches between games we really like, which we were robbed of by rallies in 2015.

still in favor of female villains imo. or do a 2k6? and have a male villain half and a female villain half

a newcomer contest might be ok? only allowing characters that havent been in a contest before. that may just be fourth string final fantasy characters, third string pokemon, and whatever string smash characters though so i dunno :/

weapon would end up master sword vs buster sword but other than that it might be ok? ya go my eternal sphere

Not next year, but the year after Id like to see a redo of the summer 2002 contest. I really overestimated Dirk the Daring in that one.

also 90s games would be good.
so would be characters introduced after 2000.
I dont want non-video game characters.
systems would be alright.
