What games were used in each picture?

My logic when choosing 2001 I think was Melee + FFX > FF7

With smaller games not even really factoring in my decision process

FF7 was not on the match picture:

The match was close anyways:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6718-best-year-in-gaming-semifinal-2001-vs-1997

So it comes down to whether you think FF7 would make up that difference.

Warcraft III looked, I dunno, passably mediocre in both 2010 and 2015 and while you could probably argue that the long term trends will point downwards rather than upwards for it...it'd be against DotA which I don't think he has ever shown any signs of life, so it wins practically by default regardless?

are Kamek and Cranky Kong now worth shoving into a character battle?

This is incorrect. There were two sets of match pictures for that match, and FF7 was top billing on the other side.

However, the eight that were chosen were still not exactly 1997's best foot forward.

Alucard had struggled with relevance and had room to grow among people who hadn't played or weren't huge on Symphony of the Night, whereas people here have been saturated by constant Mario content since childhood, most at a pretty high quality.

I dont think itll be a huge boost, but keeping the characters relevant is always useful for maintaining strength. This is the biggest Mario thing in years, it keeps the characters going.

Of course looking at what Breath of the Wild did, especially for Zelda herself, you can always boost even when you should be saturated.

We've seen massively popular games have no effect on their characters' popularity, so I don't think the movie guarantees anything more than keeping Mario Team's popularity steady.

That being said, Peach has a more active role than usual in the movie, so she might get a little boost, temporarily at least.

And yeah my more sincere thought is that the Mario movie's impact for a hypothetical contest here is much less about reaching new users here and more about giving a new and exciting association with a lifelong brand. I dunno that it will do much, but it's a new huge thing and a unique ace in the sleeve that nobody else in the Noble Nine has to this scale (settle down, Advent Children fans).

I would still bet on Zelda > Mario though after the last contest and knowing TotK is about to release. Same for Cloud post-FF7R. I'm unsure if the Mario movie will matter for Mario here more than MD for Samus -- these are all GotY-winners and contenders, so who knows with any of those characters we last knew were very close to Mario.

All bets are off if Chrono Trigger gets a blockbuster movie.

I feel like someone can switch their vote from X to Mario if the movie was the most recent thing that stoked their love of mario.

But I mean if we get another contest it will be way too long after this.

things don't get "extra respect" for being a 1 seed, they just get more bracket votes

I was being sarcastic about the Mario movie not helping at all, it would probably help if we had a contest sometime soon because the hype and nostalgia will be fresh in people's minds, but I don't think the effect will last very long because it's not garnering new fans

Peach already outdid Kefka and Yuna on Alucard, and didn't do *that* much worse than Red.

Peach isn't beating anyone strong but with the boost for female characters across the board possibly continuing (based on the female boost coinciding with strong improvement for female characters in the custom character polls...and Chun-Li continuing to rise in Street Fighter II polls), I could see the Mario movie also helping to give her a very decent boost.

Personally, I'm kind of curious what Sonic's strength would be, as he's had multiple movies, TV shows, Sonic Frontiers, and got murdered. He still loses to Zelda, especially after TotK, but I doubt he'd embarrass himself if there was a contest today.

I don't know why society just collectively decided he was cool again, but whatever.

Hey HaRRicH! Figured after seeing the Super Mario Bros Movie that I'd drop in and see if there was any talk of SMBMF for the next Character Battle! Otherwise, haven't really been here. Too busy dealing with these damn kids lol. How've you been? Smashed any testicles recently?

well they kept throwing him against Snake repeatedly even though he had no chance to win so why not Zelda again

I've been fortunate that Squall generally hasn't lost to bad characters (Losing to Red in 2013 is the closest we got) so I'd prefer to keep it that way
