ZeroSignal620 02/11/21 7:46:28 PM #1:	Now playing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jmj_ochRjk Shonen_Bat posted... Great final. Epyo posted... oo definitely my #1 and #2 for the year. INCEPTlON posted... Not going to complain about Hades winning though Kamekguy posted... Both intensely deserving Suprak the Stud posted... Both super good. MikeTavish posted... they're both so good. UltimaterializerX posted... This is easily the best final you've ever had. Thanks for running this, brother. Two games who absolutely deserve to win. The consensus going into the 2020 Championship was "Whoever Wins, We All Do". Without any hesitation whatsoever, Hades immediately built a huge lead right out the gate. I was sitting there on my 24 hour duty shift keeping tabs on my phone what the score was and I was preparing to compare it to the blowout that Portal 2 did on Uncharted 3 in the 2011 Championship (36-13). At one point, Hades was up by a commanding score of 21-8 and it seemed all but over. However... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnJz5IwCeDY Final Fantasy VII Remake absolutely refused to give up. A surge of votes came in during the final quarter and it was no longer a guarantee that Hades was going to escape with the championship. I counted every last vote twice and here's what I got...

This puts Square at a miserable 1-8 in the championship, but damn did Final Fantasy VII Remake give Hades one hell of a fight. Ulti was right, this was without question the best championship I've had in the 25 tournaments I've done this from 1996 to 2020, and I've had the following before... Dark Souls III beating Pokemon Sun/Moon by a single vote casted in the final 8 seconds of overtime in 2016 A Link Between Worlds beating The Last of Us in overtime in 2013 Metroid Prime and Kingdom Hearts battling into overtime in 2002 in a match that had a combined 141 votes in 2 days Final Fantasy VIII and Spyro 2 going into double overtime in the 1999 tournament in a match that had a combined 137 votes and had Spyro only winning by 3 in the end This outdoes them all. Someone in the nominating topic even posted the prediction of Hades beating FF7 Remake in the finals knowing Square's ability to choke hard in the championship. Hades went through a murderer's row of incredibly acclaimed titles, beating Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Final Fantasy VII Remake to claim the latest crown. And if there were X-Stats, Hades pretty much made FF7R, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, and Ghost of Tsushima all look like a million dollars. --- Formerly known as Raven 2 https://twitch.tv/ZeroSignalX <cite>ZeroSignal620 posted [p:950541652] in Best Game ...

Hades > FF7 Remake > Ori 2 > Doom Eternal > Hyrule Warriors AoC > Crusader Kings III > Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory If FF7 Remake had pulled off the win, the Ultimate Loser would have been Cyberpunk 2077, but seeing an unnecessary Kingdom Hearts spinoff get this after getting crushed by Crusader Kings III is as equally satisfying, if not more so.

ZeroSignal620 02/14/21 8:31:35 AM #36:	2006 probably would have been different too had I started at an earlier year and these tournaments picked up steam over time. It and 2005 had the lowest votals (nothing was beating RE4 in 2005, no matter how popular/unpopular my tournament was back then) That and admittedly while a unique idea, the previous nominating style looking back was a bit farfetched. For those unfamiliar, I used to run Game of the Month polls. The top 3 every month would get a spot in the GotY tournament with the monthly winner being guaranteed no lower than a 3 seed. It was weird seeing Brain Age get a 3 seed only to get knocked off by a Splinter Cell game in round 1. I stopped doing the GotM polls when I began retroactive tournaments. It was much easier and better that way. --- Formerly known as Raven 2 https://twitch.tv/ZeroSignalX <cite>ZeroSignal620 posted [p:950624501] in Best Game ...
