I think Link's Awakening has a real shot at Top 25. We often cite RBY and GSC as the only handheld games with power, but LA has been unfairly drowned in a sea of console Zeldas. I would have rather seen it in this contest instead of Twilight Princess.

So, does anyone besides Yuri think we will see a legit rally for the Witcher 3? With how much Metal Gear Solid has been bombing, I am getting concerned about The Witcher 3 pulling the same upset on MGS2 that Dark Souls is doing today... In a close match, it wouldn't take much to swing a close match.

I mean, it could happen, but it's not really something we can predict either way. Not much to talk about.

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
first of all, never take anything of his seriously

I mean, they could. I hate relying on rallies for a win though. Witcher 3 also has the potential to just totally bomb.

I'd love to see all of us work out a top 20 right now and see how it goes. here's what I would expect to be a consensus top 25, Undertale excluded for obvious reasons

Ocarina
LTTP
Majora's Mask
Twilight Princess
Wind Waker
FF6
FF7
FF9
FF10
Chrono Trigger
Melee
Pokemon RBY
Pokemon GSC
Mario 3
Mario World
Mario 64
Super Metroid
Metroid Prime
Skyrim
Mass Effect 2
Metal Gear Solid
Metal Gear Solid 3
Resident Evil 4
Super Mario RPG
Kingdom Hearts 2


Looks pretty good.

Issues:
-Fallout 3 is probably more worthy of a spot than a lot of these games. It of course beat Metroid Prime in GotD and could probably match or exceed Mario RPG's 54.43% on Oblivion.
-Kingdom Hearts got 48.91% on FFIX. Either FFIX is like 25th and this is 26th or it should be on here.
-Mass Effect 2. This games seem like it should be strong and I guess we'll see if this game can live up to expectations soon but it hasn't remotely proven itself yet.
-Potential dark horse pick (mentioning Super Metroid as a potential dark horse for top 20 earlier in the contest seems to have worked real well!): Symphony of the Night? I guess we'll see if it can live up to that Trials & Tribulations performance since both it and fellow potential top 25er FFIX face Ocarina of Time. And then there's that 2 seed. Yeah, newer games with high seeds bomb all the time and lower in the seedings we sometimes get games with dedicated fanbase nab a seed much higher than they deserve. But a game as old as this getting a 2 seed? If our pre-contest thoughts on this game's strength are remotely accurate, it would pretty much be the only really old game to get wildly overseeded.

Fallout 3 was the one game I felt bad about excluding. it's eliminated though so including it is purely academic.

I've been hearing about Witcher's rally potential all contest, and we know it didn't need it last round so it explains not seeing it then...so, I dunno, we'll see.

For every Undertale or Draven that actually rides a successful rally, there are a million rallies that people predict but never end up materializing.

It's obviously not impossible for Witcher to get enough rally support to trounce MGS2, but man oh man am I skeptical. I guess we'll find out if it's an Undertale or a Minecraft in a matter of hours.

Now crack that combination:
27 99 23.
I am nervous because it beat the Binding of Isaac, which might just be weaker than Hearthstone. But, MGS has looked all around terrible...

I just don't know what to make of this one...
---
Yay - Raytan is the guru champion of awesomeness.
MGS2 is older it wins

A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice.
Every game has a reddit and most have twitter pages. It takes something really special for a rally to work. The issue is that when it does, it does for the rest of the contest.

I don't think Witcher 3 needed a rally to beat MGS2, it's not like MGS2 is hot stuff, but at the same time, I'm not sure one game from 2010 on has been remotely impressive. 2015 games? Even worse!

Yeah but Mario RPG looks disappointing out the gate too. I might even take New Vegas over GTAV, so I'd say RE4 looks pretty good as far as winning this division goes. Hell, Mario RPG might be the least impressive SNES game so far, and I don't understand why. It's Nintendo AND Square (maybe that's why).
