I feel like there was at least one contest where we had 1-2 weeks back in the day

With most SBallen contests it does feel like its up on front page within 3 days

So is Nintendo expected to roll through this contest like I'm thinking they will? BotW, Odyssey, and Smash Ultimate are all, imo, the best of their respective series and by far the top 3 stand out games of the decade. I'd expect Zelda to be the strongest of these three, but there are those weirdos that are upset that it wasn't ALttP/OoT Formulas 9.0.

We're going to see BotW > Smash Ultimate in the finals unless something crazy happens or Allen puts them on the same side of the bracket

But what's really interesting about this contest is only maybe 50%ish of the field will have anything resembling strength and a lot of that strength won't be quantifiable so a lot of the matches should be toss-ups or at least debatable, which is what we're all here for

This shouldn't be a problem on ZeldaFAQs. In the absence of mass rallies, BotW is the overwhelming favorite to win, and as Zen said, B8 has settled on Smash Ultimate as the consensus second-place pick. Mario Odyssey is harder to gauge; I think you'd get a fair degree of dissension if you said it was a shoe-in for third. I for one don't think it could hold a candle to Skyrim, which has already shown its contest chops and is closer to GameFAQs's wheelhouse than modern Mario.

I figure it's like 2015 where we get box arts for the first couple rounds, and then user match pics for later rounds.

After the travesty that was CBX's format, I look forward to doing real pics again. Though I have a feeling a lot of the games I really want to do will be gone by Round 3.

We don't know yet. Since the link to the nomination form was finally put on the homepage last Friday, it seems safe to assume that nominations won't end during this next week. They will probably end during the first week of February.

Typing in Alien Isolation doesn't let you nominate that game, because there's a colon in there (Alien: Isolation). So I had to just type Alien and look for it on the list. I wonder it that could hurt its chances of being nominated, and maybe some others as well.

No, League's situation is sort of the inverse of the early access rule, where it's a definitive game of the 2010s by pretty much any objective metric, but it came out in 2009.
