Fun fact: I had two really hard picks to do: Squall vs. Zelda and Tifa vs. Luigi. I regretted picking both Squall and Tifa upon finishing my bracket, but Tifa turned out to be a wondrous upset pick.

Had I picked Zelda beating Squall (and eventually Fox/Aerith, which was my original plan) I would've had enough points to end up #1 overall.

This also reminds me how for my bracket one of my explicit plans was to bank heavily on Tifa. She always seemed to do better than expected and I didn't want to be caught off guard again. I still didn't take her far enough. <_<

Oh hey, were talking about Character contests again.

Do you think DMC5 did well enough to give Dante a popularity refresh? It certainly did enough that everyone who doesnt eternally bear grudges will overwrite DMC:DMC.

I don't think Dante did badly to being with. DMC5 probably won't hurt. I think Dante having a good shot at SSBU DLC might help more.

Yeah, Dante did fine. He's never been in Ganondorf's league, so there's no shame in losing to him.

I feel like DMC5 just kinda came and went though. We'll see how it does in GOTY.

Pretty sure Astral Chains guaranteed to win GOTY on this site.

Hey, I wish FE16 had a chance of winning, too, but theres only so much you can do when youre up against a Platinum spectacle fighter. Sure, maybe itll take some of the casual vote, but all of that is already being hogged by Pokemon /ss/.

Remakes tend to take a significant hit in strength compared to the original so it's hard to say just how strong Link's Awakening will be.

At least we can agree that Mario 64 is vastly overrated (for a Mario game).

Yoshi's island is getting absolutely demolished here... sad times

It's actually doing better than last time!

As are the Mario Land games, for whatever the reason.

I think Yoshi's Island is really great! It's full of creativity - there are some really memorable sections like getting chased by a chain chomp and the boss fight on a tiny planet. The game becomes way worse when you try to 100% it, though.

I love 100%ing the game, except for 6-5's last stretch.

Yeah, the original NSMB is not good, but it evidently has a major playrate advantage over the rest of these games.
