The 1996 match is close enough that 2000 might well lose due to the pic, though the match is far from over. 1997 impressing. Good to see. Vs. 2001 should be the match of the contest. 2001 is clearly the favorite, but don't count 1997 out. I think 1997 loses very respectably, myself. |
I don't feel too good about 1996 here Congrats DpObliVion for wrecking gurus From the place of your birth to the ends of the Earth~ |
I'm
not sure 2001 is a clear favorite. 2007 and 2008 are probably pretty
even years, and 1997 and 2001 put up pretty similar numbers. |
1996 your days are numbered. Unfortunately my days are also numbered because even if 2000 pulls through here, my 2000 > 1997 pick is looking pretty sketchy right about now. I guess DpObliVion gets to be in my sig now. His knowledge of video game popularity contests far surpasses my own. |
I think 2008 is fairly stronger than 2007, the only reason being Fallout 3 Congrats DpObliVion for wrecking gurus From the place of your birth to the ends of the Earth~ |
Also,
2007 and 2008 both basically got their best possible lineup of pics, so
there shouldn't have been any wild variance in the performance as a
result. |
pyresword posted... 1996 your days are numbered. Yeah, I can't really see 2000 besting 1997. Why'd you think it would? I thought I knew gaming. And I did, until I met... LusterSoldier, Winner of the GameFAQs Best Year in Gaming Tournament! |
spooky96 posted... I think 2008 is fairly stronger than 2007, the only reason being Fallout 3 How strong is 2008's big three these days anyway? It's hard to tell. MGS4 is the only one we got a semi-clear reading on last time. |
I'm
very impressed by 1997 here. I thought 2007 could have been able to
steal another couple percent, but FFVII is keeping this nicely over 70%.
It could still dip with the day vote, though anything in the high 60s
looks good here. I have no idea how 2007 vs 2008 goes. Yoblazer http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
Brawl is dead MGS is doing garbage in the recent contests Fallout 3 seems stable of them all. But just look at 2007. It has nothing, just a bunch of generic western games and a Mario game which got destroyed by Super Metroid.

spooky96 posted... But just look at 2007. It has nothing, just a bunch of generic western games and a Mario games which got destroyed by Super Metroid. you mean three of the strongest western franchises we have? 40% on Super Metroid isn't a bad number either because that's basically 40% on Majora's Mask and LttP, if you want to do straight extrapolation...! |
Mario Fatigue is striking! Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Yeah, I think this is going to be back and forth for a while. Stay within 100 votes the entire match, please...! |

Haha saying 40% of MM/LttP does sound impressive all of a sudden though strongest western franchise? That honestly doesn't mean much. Halo 1 (probably the strongest Halo) did like 21% FF7, which is pretty bad. Bioshock has never been a powerhouse either. Lastly, ME did well enough to take out SMG2 last contest, but seeing how weak Galaxy 1 is, 2 was obviously supposed to be significantly weaker.

Jeff Zero posted... pyresword posted...1996 your days are numbered. My pre-contest thoughts were that having a variety of games was more important than the actual strength of the games themselves. So like in this case an oversimplified version of it is something like "2000 takes a decent chunk (but still a minority) of the Square JRPG vote with FFIX but then wins the entirety of the Nintendo vote through MM and Pokemon GSC." Basically 2000 looks like it has a foothold with every fanbase, whereas 1997 doesn't appear to. It sort of makes sense to me still, but I think just the gaming community is a lot less segregated than I was imagining it to be beforehand. I guess DpObliVion gets to be in my sig now. His knowledge of video game popularity contests far surpasses my own. |
Majora's Mask did come back against Super Metroid last contest! Joe Bulo says hi |
2000's got this. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1016-forum-mafia, http://i.imgur.com/dsnL40n.png |
Although I prefer 1996 to win for my bracket, these are two of my favorite gaming years so Im fine with either winning ISFJ. A VN, Anime, Japanese food and video game guy. Dubs > Subs. MajiKoi the best ever. My Fighting Game Mains: http://i.imgur.com/QcoQW75.jpg |
rip 96 Congrats DpObliVion for wrecking gurus From the place of your birth to the ends of the Earth~ |
My
heart sank when I got home and saw 2000 down, but it's clawing its way
back up out of hell. Does a man good to see his favourite Zelda refuse
to admit defeat. "Life is like a chess game. If you play the opening wrong, you've already lost." |
Mario RPG's weakness in Europe is going to hurt 1996 overnight. My bracket got smashed by DpObliVion. Congrats to DpObliVion for winning the BGE15 Guru Contest! |
LAYING. DOWN. THE. LAW. 2000 has this. Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1016-forum-mafia, http://i.imgur.com/dsnL40n.png |
UltimaterializerX posted... 2000's got this. Not at all. It's either a toss up or 1996 is the slight favorite. SMRPG's weakness in Europe might hurt it overnight, but 1996 should recover in the day. No one should be confident in either year right now. |
And who could forget Vivi/Mario! Joe Bulo says hi |

_SecretSquirrel posted... What is exactly supposed to carry 2000 through the Europe vote anyway? FFIX and Deus Ex mainly. And although Nintendo is below average in Europe, at least Majora's Mask and Perfect Dark were released in Europe (unlike Super Mario RPG).

1996 by the hour: 1:00 | 51.72% 2:00 | 49.29% Please keep in mind the hour-to-hour fluctuation of the percentages are probably around 5-10 times what we have grown accustomed to over the years, as a result of the drastically lower votals. So, in the old days 51.72% in the Power Hour would be a very substantial lead for games with similar trends, today, if you reran this match tomorrow, the Power Hour itself could end up quite different. September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
2 votes at a time all the way victory |
17 vote cut! Ralliers' determination can't even hold a birthday candle to the blazing flame of DpOblivion's winning spirit! |
That was a 62% update for MM. The variance on these updates is really crazy. September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
20
vote lead. Will be curious to see if this maintains tomorrow.
Traditional thinking should be that overnight and morning will favour
2000, but Zelda also has a really good SNV, so it's hard to say. DpObliVion, my hat is off to you. Welcome to the Guru Champions Club lol xstats |
1996 stop scaring me |
It's clear 2000 is going to overtake the lead at some point during the night just gotta hope it's not such a big deficit that 1996 can't come back later int he day |
At the rate we are going, we could potentially smash some wire to wire records. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for 2017 Guru champion. |
Lead change incoming Congrats DpObliVion for wrecking gurus From the place of your birth to the ends of the Earth~ |
Here comes the second 50%-50% tie of the night |
Damnit, three more votes and we could have seen 1996 with 1996 votes. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for 2017 Guru champion. |
pretty quiet for a match this close 1996 by the hour: 1:00 | 51.72% 2:00 | 49.29% 3:00 | 49.16% 4:00 | 48.56% Joe Bulo says hi |
Lol the votes on 96/00 right now: 2001 votes for 1996 1996 votes for 2000 (edited 5/13/2017 1:15:13 AM) |
1996 is putting up an extremely tough fight to keep this lead despite trends now working against it at this point. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as DpObliVion, Guru Champ! |
Lead's back to double digits wooo hooo! Congrats DpObliVion for wrecking gurus From the place of your birth to the ends of the Earth~ |
70% update for 2000, enough for a 20 vote cut to take the lead. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as DpObliVion, Guru Champ! |
Is 1996 gonna roll over and die Congrats DpObliVion for wrecking gurus From the place of your birth to the ends of the Earth~ |
LAY. DoWN. THE. LAW. ~_^ Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1016-forum-mafia, http://i.imgur.com/dsnL40n.png |
Why do you support 2000 so much Ulti 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
2000 is by far the better year but 1996 winning is good for my bracket. Neither have a chance next round against 97 though. Fave Five: 1. Rollins 2. Owens 3. Styles 4. Lesnar 5. Ambrose |
So, if 2000 holds on, could we see these eight games representing the year? Majora's Mask Pokemon Gold/Silver Final Fantasy IX Diablo 2 Perfect Dark Deus Ex Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Skies of Arcadia That's a pretty damn formidable eight games to represent the year.

Oh god Ralliers' determination can't even hold a birthday candle to the blazing flame of DpOblivion's winning spirit! |
