Chrono Trigger is god tier

2000 > 2001

Makes sense Ngamer
---

With votals so low we have gone back to the old ways

OoT and FF7 are both just that strong

but also CT
---

Perhaps the same could be said of all 1997 games!?
---

KP how young are you?

MK64 first game?
---

Nights was so hyped in 1996

I am not sure why
---

crack crack crack the egg into the bowl,

---

Ngamer presents SOMALIA
---

90's Simpsons and that game, so so so so so so so so so good
---

oh here we go KP was drooling in 1991

so ... 1997 was first game, yeah i guess that is reasonable


SIMPSONS ARCADE WAS RELEVANT FOR YEARS!

Every arcade i ever went into in the 90's it was always in use and always had groups of kids around watching and swapping in
---

Rustled Rory
---

Triggered Tony?

---

---

Draven vs Undertale for bonus match
---

Great episode!
---

I seem to be the only one without much of an attachment to 1997!

Glad you liked it. You would have seen it in 2015, except Melee ruined everything.

Just resumed listening. And I agree that 91 got burned badly by the lack of SNES representation. I don't think I was completely insane taking 91...even over 98. Lemmings had no business in that picture.

Anyway, great episode as always, guys. I keep thinking we should do a "Contest Retrospective" show at some point to talk about old contests since the gaps between contests are so large nowadays. I'm thinking about doing a "Re-predict old contests in 2016" running series once this contest wraps up, too. Might be fun.

I like both these ideas quite a bit. Actually as I was inputting the 2015 and 2013 and GotD results for lol x-stats I kept saying to myself "wait how did THAT happen?" and was thinking about doing a "results that would flip in 2017" thread as a way of prepping for this years bracket, but didn't end up having time for it.

I'll need a couple month break from podcasts after next week but after that some kind of Retrospective get together would be interesting I think.

Shout out to Spriters Resource. Without that place, none of my 16-bit or earlier sprite pics would be possible.

Oh boy, what a start to this one! Looking like an epic showdown between The Crew Curse and Final Fantasy 7 Rises To Heaven.


---

Stats don't lie fellas, 1987 versus 1997 would be a match for the ages!
---

2008 got robbed too

it's projected to crush 1996 AND 2000
---

Allen'd

no Goldeneye
no MK64
---

I don't remember whether or not their were perfect main brackets for RR (iirc I missed like 6 points), but there were definitely a ton of perfect battle brackets (hence the improvised Oracle final where I got greedy and lost my perfect run to end with nothing...!)
---

Bonus poll:

1998 vs Link vs OoT vs The Legend of Zelda series vs (Link vs Ganondorf)
---

I've decided I want rematches of 1997 vs. 2001 and 1996 vs. 2000 for the bonus polls, but we get to pick what games are in the pics.

Heck, throw in 1991 vs. 1994 and 2011 vs. 2006 while we're at it.

Good luck getting Allen to agree to this. Allen would be stupid to rerun polls, as if the match results change, it'll basically be admitting his own incompetence and piss a lot of people off.

Of course he'd never do it. It can only make him look bad.

Even worse is that this appears to be an attempt by SB to save his bracket, since he picked 2001 over 1997.

Best Grand Finals ever, coming right up!
