Ah so it was 2013, not 2010. Okay. Still I hope this contest has some rallies. Hey say what you want but at least they make things excited!

You MIGHT have had an argument in favour of rallies the first time a contest was ruined by one, but its happened so many times now that the real shocker would be a normal contest with no fuckery

Please, god, do not let the active/passive citizenship come back for the next contest. If this site has reduced to a regular usership of roughly 15000 people, then let that be shown proper rather than guise it behind anti-rally measures.

Undertale is actually liked by some people, unlike League, reddit, and a meme character, so even if Okami was there it wouldn't be able to pull that off a second time.

Man I REALLY hope SB does go ahead with GotD. First because it's the right thing to do, and second because a 2020 Character Battle would be pointless, we already know who's going to win.

...no, not Link, it'll be the new character introduced yesterday!

Woah. Skies winning this outright is kind of shocking.

It's a great surprise, because not only is it great as is, but a remaster that speeds up the battles would turn it into a Top 5 classic for me.

A lot of the games in this poll have already gotten versions on newer consoles. That plus Nintendo LFF probably decided the result.

I think the GameCube version already has a reduced encounter rate compared to the original Dreamcast one? Guess it could possibly still be too high though.

What an incredible surprise it would be if Skies of Arcadia outright wins today's poll. This is a huge over-performance from Skies.

I'm going to rally for Skies of Arcadia by messaging all my friends on AIM and telling them to vote in the poll. Maybe this CONTROVERSIAL method of influencing the poll results will make everyone mad and people will call for the poll to be re-run to give Metroid Prime 1+2 a fair shake!

I have the original Gamecube version but never played it. KP warned me the encounter rate and speed is just laughable trash.

The encounter rate in the Cube version isnt really that bad (really, most RPGs of the era with random encounters are no better), its the slow pace of the battles themselves that hold the game back.

And it's still a top ten game anyway

Honestly once you get S-Moves that hit all enemies and can use them every turn the battles go a lot faster

Its never going to go to Fire Emblem or Pokemon.

If were talking possible poll, the latter has too much of a its fucking Pokemon stigma, while the other is...well, Fire Emblem.

If were talking an actual awards show, then no Nintendo game is winning jack. Its going to Death Stranding.

we aren't

but Pokemon nearly won a few years ago when we had a relatively weak field (in terms of games GameFAQs tends to love) and that might be the case again this year

You mean how RBY defeated Mario Bros 3 before dying respectably to Undermeme, only for us to get a bonus round where we have it murder SM64? Its been four years, and the zeitgeist has mostly shifted - especially in SM64s case. Even then, thats still unfair given that putting a Pokemon game in a Best of 2019 contest would pretty much guarantee it at least a quarterfinals place.

And besides, when I meant awards show I meant like Spike TV or the /v/idya Gaem Awards, not a contest.

Pokemon XY also came within a few dozen votes of beating Link Between Worlds in the 2013 3DS poll, and LBW later beat out The Last of Us and GTAV in the final three.

Black/White 2 in 2012 was also fairly close to beating Xenoblade, which ended up 2nd in the final three.

FFXV is great

It was Final Fantasy 15. It shouldnt get that moniker. What, did nothing else besides NuDoom come out that year?

15 struggles with having a historically garbage main character, but the game itself was amazing.
