As someone who had 96 > 97, why couldn't I get this 97 last round?

Allen had 1997 winning last round.

Wtf?! How could 1997 be losing?!

CT > FFVII

Allen needed 97 to win

Was undecided on which year to vote for, then Golden Sun came up in 2001 and I got nostalgia bombed. Advance Wars and MGS2 were icing on the cake.

can't wait for the final where 1997 doesn't get FFVII in the pic

(or 2001 doesn't get Melee/FFX)

GoldenEye, FFVII, Diddy King Racing, Castlevania SotN...

1997 made a decent charge there right before the freeze.

I think it probably wins.

Don't worry, it will face 98 with the top line being Banjo and Panzeer Dragoon Saga.

Everyone with a score of 2 or less got the match wrong.

The top brackets knew what was up. Only one person in the top 99 picked against 1998. Prediction percentage would not fall below 90% until the -9s (39 points).

No one on the Top 50 was crazy enough to pick against 1998 so no one fell off. I think this is the first time this has happened in this contest.

nah 1998 will get the best lineup it can possibly get

eight pics of OoT and R/B/Y

Where the **** is Goldeneye? Why is Diddy Kong Racing replacing Mario Kart 64? This is bull****

Psh, just you watch when Allen has 1998 losing in the final, and then he snubs OoT and RBY!

There is no reason for FFVII to be in the pic taking up valuable real estate that could instead go to Colony Wars.

It's Pokemon: Banjo Version and Pokemon: Snake Version.

And look, it's Legend of Gordon: Half-Life of Time!

(it's all crude photoshops of Link and Red in the various 98 games)

Diddy Kong Racing is still one of the best selling N64 games, and even gets more love than Mario Kart 64 from some circles. I don't think it replacing Mario Kart 64 is a major deal, but GoldenEye should definitely be there.

I'm sorry. I'm gonna have to repeat myself. Where is Goldeneye 007 @SBAllen? And why does 2001 suddenly have their best possible lineup of 8 games?

Come on 2001...

Hmmm...Yeah, I feel good about 1997 winning.

But the final is back to being boring.

Yeah I'm not disputing the quality or the sales of the game. I love the game just as much as any other guy but in relative contest strength DKR does not even compare to MK64.

I think 1997 got this. Considering how legendarily bad the FFVII board vote is, 2001 needs to do a lot better at this point in time.

FF7 has a bad board vote. 1997 does not.

Oh wow. If I had known Goldeneye and MK64 would be snubbed, I'd have predicted a couple points lower for 1997 in the Oracle.

1997 was at 60% at the freeze last round. What 1997 lacks that FFVII has is a strong night vote.

I lowered mine 5%. I thought about going with the big "2001 with 50%" upset, which would have locked me in as the winner if it would have pulled through, but I wasn't quite that brazen.

.... is that game?

Go my 2001.

Huh, nice jump by 2001.

where's the rally happening

Wrong way 1997.

Aw yeah, 2001 means business!

Ugh I stand corrected

2001 was a solid all around year for gaming. Each console had its own killer app (FFX, MGS2, and GTA for PS2, Melee for GCN, Halo for Xbox), which can't be said about many other years. 97's very Sony heavy which hurts it a lot.

it's actually not!

not that you can tell based on the pic selection but still

I wouldn't be surprised if 95 beat 97. CT's just that strong, and plenty of solid SNES games to back it up.

LOL i love how close 1987 and 1997 are.

F$%^ yeah!

Wow, 2001. At the point, 1995 was still winning!

Let's remember that 95 experienced probably the biggest boost in power between rounds 2 and 3

It's first two pictures were basically the equivalent of FFVII + 3 Harvest Moons

Pic influence IMO.

I wouldn't use this year's x-stats as a paperweight. These pictures are the contest equivalent of a misleading dating site profile.

96 and 2000 have screwed up stats because of pic factor and (in my opinion) SFF from 97.

I lowered by Oracle by seven points after seeing FF7's match pic.

Ma, there's no way 1995 would get 70% on 1996.

The hilarious thing is that 1987 could end up almost equal with 1997 in the stats if 2001 keeps this up.
