God
damn, above 60% already! I'm glad I was too late to lower my Oracle.
Also, I'm hoping that 96 was just overrated all along (and won what
should have been a 55/45 loss last round). I don't mind 97 making the
finals, but I don't wanna see 2001 get all mangled. Yoblazer http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
Well, yeah, 1997 clearly looked stronger than 2001 last round. 1997 outdoing 2001 shouldn't surprise anybody. "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun. So... what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

Even
better vote totals at the freeze compared to yesterday's match.
Yesterday's match only had 278 votes at the freeze (the 12:06 update is
the correct freeze update, not the 12:05 update) while today's match is
sitting at 334 votes. Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as DpObliVion, Guru Champ! |

Whoa, I'm in the leaderboard with a bracket I put together like an hour before entries closed. This is wild. I'm leaving soon since I took the 2001 > 1997 upset tho Surskit Hi! I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear! |

1996's
lack of depth is being exposed with the dual-pictures. Meanwhile,
1997's new inclusions of the N64 versions of Mario Kart and Star Fox are
likely strengthening the year. We'll see if it can keep this up,
though. "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun. So... what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

If 1997 does win next round, it'll be the first time a FFVII-related entrant has made a final in seven years. IT ALWAYS WINS. Yoblazer http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |

if 2000 literally comes out of nowhere and wins this match i've still got a chance DpObliVion has fought mudcrabs more fearsome than my bracket! |
holy crap 1997 is CRUSHING it now |

Aaaaand pack it in. 91/94 is the last match that has any meaning. Yoblazer http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
Good game. See you in the finals 1997 and 1998. Yay - DpObliVion is the guru champion of awesomeness. |
Damn, 1997 is killing 1996. No way 2000 would have won here... Best Year in Gaming - Today's Winner: 2000 (oops) Current Bracket Score: 37/40 |
CaptainOfCrush posted... Aaaaand pack it in. 91/94 is the last match that has any meaning. c'mon 1991 don't fail me now that I'm finally back on the leaderboard I can essentially perfect the second half of the contest if 1991 wins |
lol 1996 DpObliVion, my hat is off to you. Welcome to the Guru Champions Club lol xstats |
Score-Brackets-% RightEveryone with 5 points or fewer got the match wrong. The brackets near the top seem to do a bit better than the brackets near the middle. The -2s (34 points) seem to do unusually badly for some reason, though. 22 people fell off the Top 50. Former first place ninkendo, former second place pronouncemyname, former third place Trust_No_One, RaYeO, Evillordexdeath, DaZettaiRyouiki, DarkShadowRage, _SJimW_, FeaRxImMortaL, Link19, Crocomire, CWall, umphreys, retroid34, spooky96, cyko, SSBM_Guy, EmDubyaSee, Eikei, Ultima_X, HaloOfTheSun442 and Freelance-Fiend did not have 2001 winning. My bracket got smashed by DpObliVion. Congrats to DpObliVion for winning the BGE15 Guru Contest! |
it's actually refreshingly nostalgic to see FFVII laying a beatdown on something strong(ish) again |
How about the devil's advocate no one wants to be... 1997 > 1998? Come on guyz let's humor it for a second Yoblazer http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
Maybe FFVII has a chance at taking back the crown? Come on, we need that 85-99 Games contest so badly. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for 2017 Guru champion. |

Yes!!! 1996 is getting crushed! Die, die, die, you fiend, for beating 2000 and for being so much stronger than 1990! "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun. So... what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

We'll see if it can keep this up, though. Not really. Those pictures are just straight up sabotage. There are plenty of options that could (and should) have been used over the likes of Suikoden, Metal Slug, and Nights into Dreams. Any of Duke Nuken 3D, Quake, Resident Evil, Tekken 2, and Diablo would have been undeniably better choices. |
Back
to being tied for a leaderboard eligible score (but not listed). Really
hope I can get up there before missing another match! Ralliers' determination can't even hold a birthday candle to the blazing flame of DpOblivion's winning spirit! |
_SecretSquirrel posted... Maybe FFVII has a chance at taking back the crown? Not a chance. 1996 is fairly strong, but I think we're seeing it's not too different from 1991 and 1994, strength-wise. It might even be weaker than those. "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun. So... what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |
Haste_2 posted... _SecretSquirrel posted...Maybe FFVII has a chance at taking back the crown? Not here. 98 isn't going anywhere without some freaky s*** going on. I'm talking about maybe next time. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for 2017 Guru champion. |
Whoa
1997, proving my doubts in you completely wrong, thank goodness it is
putting this crushing performance on, 2000 wouldn't of have had a chance Blop |

Quake and Resident Evil were huge snubs. Still can't compare to 1997, though. "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun. So... what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |
hahahahahahaha welcome back old friend welcome back to your dominating ways |
And jeeze, I was pretty confident about 2001 going to the finals but 97 is wrecking 96 here Ralliers' determination can't even hold a birthday candle to the blazing flame of DpOblivion's winning spirit! |

I would take Suikoden on this site over Duke Nukem, Quake, Tekken 2 and mayyyyyyyybe even Diablo. Metal Slug and Nights are pretty useless, though. Yay - DpObliVion is the guru champion of awesomeness. |
Good lord, did anyone think a doubling would be possible? TIME TO HYPE FFVII > Zelda like the days of yore! Yoblazer http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
for the record that was a 70% update so it might get uglier still and at the moment 1996 would need to beat 1992 with 62.08% for 1997 = 1998 |
I guess this is what happens when FF7 doesn't have to deal with anti-votes. My bracket got smashed by DpObliVion. Congrats to DpObliVion for winning the BGE15 Guru Contest! |

Duke Nukem 3D doesn't hold weight on this site, neither does Quake. Tekken 2 was first released in US in 1995, in arcades. Resident Evil and Diablo were snubbed. |
looking good for my 97 > 01 pick and also not so good for my 98 > 97 pick does anyone even read this |
CaptainOfCrush posted... did anyone think a doubling would be possible? I thought I went pretty high with 63-64%! I was pretty confident 1997 would win handily though. 1996 just doesn't have enough to counterbalance depth and a top notch anchor. This was basically 1987/1985, N64 edition.

RE and Diablo weren't going to turn this match, especially if 97 keeps rising. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for 2017 Guru champion. |
I actually don't even know who to vote for here I don't really care about either year all that much. Ralliers' determination can't even hold a birthday candle to the blazing flame of DpOblivion's winning spirit! |
Yesterday's chart: Time | 1995 | 2001 | Votes | Demographic EBV | 51.44% | 48.56% | 278 | (0:00-0:05) PHV | 48.60% | 51.40% | 1856 | (0:00-1:00) FNV | 45.66% | 54.34% | 4043 | (1:00-6:00) BSV | 47.30% | 52.70% | 2687 | (6:00-9:00) DSV | 47.26% | 52.74% | 5015 | (9:00-14:30) ASV | 50.21% | 49.79% | 4866 | (14:30-22:00) SNV | 49.02% | 50.98% | 1022 | (22:00-24:00) Essentially a pretty even match outside of the night vote. |
lol you guys 98 isn't gonna be held under 70 until the finals |
Just a bit short of a doubling. Yikes. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for 2017 Guru champion. (edited 5/16/2017 9:26:14 PM) |
1998's
73% on 1992 was flat out scary, but expected (at least, it should have
been). I would think 1996 is a bit stronger than 1992. If 1997 can
break 70% by the end, I might have to retract my "not a chance"
statement about '97 > '98. But no matter how well 1997 does today, I
couldn't call it the favorite for the championwhip. pjbasis posted...
You may be right. If 1994 is worth 54.75% on 1992, 1998 will hit 70% on 1994. Granted, there could have been SFF in '98 vs. '92. "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun. So... what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |
Super
Mario 64 has long been my favorite game, but 1997's got some top-tier
PS1 games and several great N64 games for support too...couldn't vote
against it. GameFlux: Unofficial GameFAQs board browser |
Well,
now that I'm taking some time to look at the pictures - 1996 gets
totally shlocked during the first two scrolls. The only person who'd
vote 96 based on those first 8 pics is a die-hard Super Mario 64 fan. Yoblazer http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
