How did Best Series Ever II not even make the poll? That's my preference, with an honorable mention to something like a system contest because I'd rather see the next character battle saved for their 20th anniversary.

Character battle with a limit of 8 fictional characters. 1 per division or 16 2 per division

characters who have appeared as a main character in video games like batman james bond etc. Not random crap like god and jesus

game of the '90s seems good, yeah. would be nice if we had the '90s, the '00s and the '10s all getting some time in the spotlight in their own contests. (though maybe we should have a character contest before that to switch things up.)

part of me wants this but part of me also likes seeing 90s games obliterate modern ones.

i would love to see a Super Metroid put a smackdown on GTAV.

Series, easily. Its time, enough has changed.

Overall I would like to see:

Series-CB11-BGE4-Other side contest-Game of the 90s

in that order.

No interest in a true all-fictional character battle, nothing interesting about Link crushing hordes of anime fodder with almost no links to video games. Instead I would rather the current guidelines get loosened to allow characters who have a clearly distinct or notable gaming iteration, like PS4 Spider-Man. Nobody wants to see Iron Man getting in because he was in some trash licensed games ten years ago. And with Geralt and Dracula it would really just be a continuation of the current rules.

As much as I like the idea, and as much as I want it to happen at some point, I'd rather not see two consecutive GotD contests with favored Zelda winners. In fact, I don't want two game contests in a row in general, not because a follow-up would be bad, but because it would be samey.

The problem with this is that Iron Man has the Marvel vs. Capcom and Marvel Ultimate Alliance games to his name, so it's kind of an arbitrary line to be drawing. I do get what you're going for with the Spider-Man example, because true starring roles like that are distinct from the Iron Men of the world. However, I don't see Spider-Man drawing a large chunk of votes from the 2018 game, and at that point, why bother gatekeeping the likes of Iron Man when even Batman and Spider-Man will function as licensed characters in a contest?

Also, I don't trust a contest with arbitrary restrictions or an arbitrary premise in general to be interesting or worthwhile. That goes for quite a few posts I've seen so far ITT.

Give us Game of the 90s, and then take the top 48 of each decade and put them all in a bracket. Or maybe top 40 and allow a smaller nomination process in case some amazing games come out in between contests.

I'm much more about the game contests over the character battles, personally.

This would just be a Best Game Ever contest.

If we just do 2000 onwards then it removes the powerhouses of the 90s and gives us back a little more unpredictability

You'd think so, but the actual BGE contests still always end up with turbofodder anyway. This is a way to ensure that only the cream of the crop get to square off against each other.

We've got to give Games a two year cooldown period IMO, so I'd vote for

2021 - Best. System. Ever.
(mini Contest with only 32 entrants, set up Nintendo versus Sony classes in each division)

2022 - Best Video Game Character Ever
(20 year anniversary of the original, but lifting the old restriction to allow all characters who have had a meaningful presence in games. as in, Goku and Batman and Donatello and James Bond are allowed into the bracket, if they get enough nomination support)

2023 - Best Game of the 90s
(Ocarina battles the bracket winner at the end)

2024 - Best Series Ever II
(Zelda battles the bracket winner at the end)

2025 - Game of the Century
(128 games from 2000 to 2025, winner battles Majora's Mask, winner of that plays Breath of the Wild)
