(1) Chrono Trigger - 29 (2) Super Mario Odyssey - 23
Started these a little over a year ago and it was awesome seeing it grow. Thanks for participation and the patience with my awkward scheduling. I'll run these again sometime in the future, but for now, I rest.
I'm happy with Chrono Trigger as the winner, it wouldn't have been my personal choice though. I was rooting for it heavily in the last few weeks in part because it was one of the only non Mario games left (though this wasn't enough to make me vote for Final Fantasy X).

I'm playing every game from GotD 2020! Games Completed: 20/129 (Currently on Hiatus)
Still never played Chrono Trigger (I know I know, will change that soon), so I couldn't be more ambivalent about the winner. But another fun contest! These will be missed
Getting all the Mario games instead of all the Zelda games doesn't make it better. At least one of LttP, OoT, MM, WW, BotW should have made it.

SMB3, World, and 64 have always been juggernauts. It's just weird that Odyssey happened when other BotW shit the bed so hard.
Of course. At the same time, I've never seen so many "actually 64 doesn't hold up" topics/posts in the last 6 months. Yet people still vote for it but don't for BotW despite opinions also turning on that game as well.
I think this comes down to a very small voting pool that's sick of Zelda always winning and wanted CT to get an ultimate victory they've always wanted it to have. Not an unexpected result but some of the earlier and down ballot votes were silly.
MMX being runner up in the side bracket was nonsense but it's easier to manipulate poll voting than post voting.
Anyway that's a lot of useless ranting for something like this. Tremendous job running it and managing to get it all done so quickly! When does the Character Battle start ;)?

I'd be interested in doing a character contest, but idk if that's an interesting route to go or not.
I was actually pitching the idea of a Best Song by decade tournament, starting with 60s and prior, then going by each consecutive decade. Thoughts on that? Would probably draw a different crowd though.

I don't think this is the board for that? And I say that as someone who participates in Rank the Tracks and Rank the Albums, but is otherwise not super music oriented. Starting with the 60s and prior also wouldn't help the situation. Most of nominated albums we've done are 80s and especially 90s and 00s, as you might expect.
How would it even work logistically? Ask for nominations? Just use the top 64 songs from Billboard?

I was more questioning the original Wario Land, which finished 7th lol. Both it and Aladdin were benefited from smaller voting pools in round 1.

Probably the most normal-looking one thus far, but still quite a few funny ones. These are obviously not indicative of anything since the matches don't get enough votes for this to be useful, but it's fun to see what happens
