Celeste!

Final Results:
4 -- Celeste
-6 -- Rayman Legends
2 -- Super Mario Galaxy 2

After three months, Game of the Decade of the Year has come to a close. Two hundred games, eight rounds with varying rule sets, and one winner. I'm not going to make this topic anything but saying thanks to everyone who participated in the voting. There were over 40 voters in the last round, so I was happy to see the votals get higher towards the end, rather than people drop off once their favorite games fell off. This contest was a lot of work, especially near the end as the length of the contest started to weigh on me, but it was worth it. I'd say the UotY format still holds up, and hey, maybe it'll come back in another form some day.

I'd post the final placements, but I seemed to lose some information in the copy and pasting throughout the contest as I moved games from contention to elimination. This entire thing has been a learning process for me, so I apologize for the hiccups that have popped up here and there. Thanks for sticking with me for whatever length you, dear reader, did.

Here's to contests on Board 8! I appreciate and thank you for your patronage.

What's a little more controversy at the end. I royally fucked up my tally and Super Mario Galaxy 2 didn't win. Editing OP now.

For fun, here's how the bracket would look if decided by board 8.

https://challonge.com/da/jw37iep9

Zazi only made exact placements for round 1, but for games eliminated in the same round I used the same way of determining it, which was group placement and then score.

Rayman obviously got screwed worst by losing in round 1 there, but Ultimate also reached top 10 yet only got to round 2.

I somehow never even saw this context but cool. B8 has some of the most unpredictable outcomes to these things but Celeste is really good.
