Axl_Rose_85 09/21/20 9:20:24 AM #1:	I can't get over the fact that once upon a time Persona 4 went 50-50 with Dead Rising before barely edging it out. Which is what inspired this topic. If the two games were ever to meet in a future contest (highly unlikely because Dead Rising probably will never see the light of another contest) it will likely be Persona 4 at the very least tripling Dead Rising if not outright breaking 80% on it. Which other contest results that happened in the past will have drastically different results if it happened today? <cite>Axl_Rose_85 posted [p:944890417] in Previous c...

MetalmindStats 09/21/20 4:47:48 PM #15:	Underleveled posted... If Vyse and Laharl ever met 1v1 again (highly unlikely), Laharl would probably reverse that 60-40 he was dealt in 2004. Based on what? Laharl and Vyse both tanked pretty badly in their respective last showings in 2013, but at least the latter had an awful draw with Adol's hardcore fanbase to deplete dedicated JRPG votes and Ammy to suck up all the casual votes. Meanwhile, Vyse is the one who still has a well-remembered game that looked rather respectable (after scoring a surprisingly high seed) in 2015. I suppose Laharl would probably win off bracket votes if given a higher seed, but I'd certainly take Vyse in a reprise of that exact scenario. On topic, Zelda could possibly reverse every single loss she's ever suffered in a contest all the way through to 2013. The only ones that would even be in question now (assuming Snake again gets saddled with a Metal Gear Acid pic, at least) would be her two matches against Samus and that 2007 match against Vincent with Link (and Bidoof). Even then, I wouldn't be surprised to see current Zelda win all of those too. --- "I believe in a universe that doesn't care and people who do." Hylian hits dizzying heights others daren't aim for.
