Almost all of its pics apart from Daytona USA (lol) look incredible. 1998 got both its big PC games snubbed again, and that Pokemon pic looks kinda bland. Yoblazer http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
Pokemon is pretty good if people remembered Twitch Plays Pokemon. 1994 looks pretty nice, but nothing outside of OoT or Pokemon missing the match would be enough to make me nervous. Best Year in Gaming - Today's Winner: 2001 Current Bracket Score: 45/52 |

RESIDENT EVIL 2 PICTURENow I can officially say RE2 won a sitewide contest in a few days. If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? #theresafreakingghostafterus |

From Allen's sticky topic: SBAllen posted... Howdy guys, just letting you know that we'll still be accepting pics for the finals up until noon PST tomorrow. We hope to highlight 10-12 games from each year in the final. I don't know how many people have seen that post yet, so I'm bringing this up in here.

PRAISE HELIX! oh man I am Nick. Go Sens, Bills, Blue Jays! I shall call no more! |
I
don't think console pictures are actually banned. Like the image
submission form is specifically set up to allow console submissions. It
could have been set up like the Games Contest nomination forms where you
could only nominate games. Although, if they are allowed, I have no
idea why they never show up. 1995 definitely had room for a PS1 picture. My bracket got smashed by DpObliVion. Congrats to DpObliVion for winning the BGE15 Guru Contest! |
*sees results for the first time* Well, I dont understand. Glad I didn't take 97 to win the whole thing as I first wanted to though. Not that it matters. |
I
guess since there's gonna be 10-12 submissions I'll try to GameCube,
GBA and Xbox pics since those might actually have a lot in there ISFJ or INFP. 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 |
How is 97 losing here? It's SFF'ing 2001's strongest game. 9/2/2013, the day Reddit hacked GameFAQs http://ibin.co/2Q0B4x43LQ0L |
Looks like my bracket will end up perfect except for 05/03 lol What a world Started from the bottom now we here |
PoIl6177 posted... How is 97 losing here? It's SFF'ing 2001's strongest game. SFF can be quite fickle, I wouldn't be surprised if FFX naturally holds relatively well against FFVII. Also people base their votes on more than one game. Best Year in Gaming - Today's Winner: 2001 Current Bracket Score: 45/52 |

Lightning Strikes posted... Getting Halo 3 vs. Super Mario Sunshine flashbacks here. You realize FFVII quadrupled Halo in 2015, right? And that MK64 and GE were in the poll with a stronger FFVII in 2009 at the same time and did way better, right? As someone who had Halo 3 over Sunshine, this isn't a comparable situation. Sunshine is not a well liked game. |

Match XXXIV – Round 4 – 1994 vs. 1998 Previous Results 1994 Round 1: Defeated 2004, 58.69% - 41.31% Round 2: Defeated 2011, 62.02% - 37.98% Round 3: Defeated 1991, 53.38% - 46.62% 1998 Round 1: Defeated 1993, 85.93% - 14.07% Round 2: Defeated 1992, 72.85% - 27.15% Round 3: Defeated 2003, 81.35% - 18.65% Analysis 1998’s quest for the title continued with a crushing quadrupling against 2003. I guess that’s what you get when the first picture is Ocarina of Time/Pokemon Red/Blue vs. Wind Waker/Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire. While 1994 will be a stronger opponent, it is a year with decent anchors and depth 1998 just outclasses the entire field. In terms of pictures 1994 pretty much got its best case scenario. Both Final Fantasy VI and Super Metroid are first and the year got all of its notable games. Of course 1998 leads off with Ocarina of Time and Pokemon Red/Blue meaning they’ll take out 1994’s two strongest games and build a decent lead. Even the second picture appears to be a win for 1998. I feel 1994 will be able to break 30% in this match and it has a decent chance at avoiding getting doubled. I wonder if 1998 will face the same difficulties Sephiroth and Samus faced during the villains and female contest where they underperformed in the final rounds. If so we could see 1994 pull off a respectable performance. charmander6000’s Bracket: 1998 > 1994 charmander6000’s Prediction: 1998 wins, 66.33% - 33.67% Best Year in Gaming - Today's Winner: 2001 Current Bracket Score: 45/52 |
1994 is avoiding the doubling Best Year in Gaming - Today's Winner: 2001 Current Bracket Score: 53/60 |

prediction percentage for 2001. I'm guessing 1997 was considered the

60/40 at the freeze Is this the board feeling sorry for 1994 or has GameFAQs gone Sephiroth/Samus in the Villains/Females contest? Best Year in Gaming - Today's Winner: 1998 Current Bracket Score: 53/60 |

Score-Brackets-% RightEveryone with a score of 11 or less got the match wrong. A bit of a tough match. The brackets near the top do noticeable better. 2001 did have 52% bracket support in the Guru and there are quite a few Board 8 users up there. I suspect things would have looked much worse if 1997 got a fair picture and won. I can only imagine what the complaints would look like if 1997 was the Board 8 favourite. 19 people fell off the Top 50. Former second place KommunistKoala, scaryice, Aegison, Skyridge87, Axl_Rose_85, Black_Rabite, JMForte85, t_kizzle, MechanicalWall, ALAKA, iiicon, DragonNeos, parjax, transience, Anagram, MajorMitch, ProfitProphet, DeathWyvern and ZeldaTPLink did not have 2001 winning. My bracket got smashed by DpObliVion. Congrats to DpObliVion for winning the BGE15 Guru Contest! |
Looks like it was just a board 8 thing. Best Year in Gaming - Today's Winner: 1998 Current Bracket Score: 53/60 |

A projected 68.25% win for 1987. |
Wow, 1994 is doing great here. I feel pretty good about CT > OOT after this and yesterday's result. September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
and some fools were certain 2000 would make the finals lol Started from the bottom now we here |
94 doing pretty good heck yeah add the c and back away iphonesience |
of course, it's an early vote monster so 98 probably gets up to 65 by the end add the c and back away iphonesience |
KamikazePotato posted... CaptainOfCrush posted...I now think there are four matches where, even within the constraints of SBAllen's chosen format, the loser may at least plausibly bring up the point of pictures costing them the match: @CaptainOfCrush @KamikazePotato http://i.imgur.com/mCxfFcW.jpg The only 3 I got wrong: 2006, 1991, 1997 I went from 8th place to... ugh lol "A strong man doesn't need to read the future, he makes his own." - Solid Snake |
I hate this contest. Hate it. Come on, 2001... please get a rally going tomorrow! "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." |
98 looking kinda vulnerable, except there's one match left lol |
funny if 2000/96/95/97 were all super strong and we didnt know it til the 2 sides of the bracket met and 2001 just wollops 1998 Started from the bottom now we here |
2006/2011
was my only miss. Other than that, I was extremely lucky with the
picture advantage going in my favour. But I mean, the whole contest felt
like a crapshoot because the pictures play a huge role in reminding
people what each year had going for them. Without even knowing what the
picture format was going to be, some matches were really a shot in the
dark. For example, 1996/2000 was excruciating and I just had to hope
1996 screamed the debut of the N64 and Super Mario 64 starting the era
of 3D Nintendo games. |
people
can cry pic unfairness all they want but 94 > 91, 96 > 00 and 01
> 97 all had something in common, 2 super strong gamefaqs games over
just 1 and i stuck to that idea when making my bracket Super Metroid + FFVI > SMW SM64 + SMRPG > Majora's Mask FFX + SSBM > FFVII like i'm not saying the people who got these matches wrong made bad picks, but I wish everyone would stop pretending the 'wrong year' won these tight matches and those who successfully picked these matches right got super lucky or something. Started from the bottom now we here (edited 5/20/2017 10:35:17 PM) |
The
site took some time to load for me and the first picture I saw was
Sonic 3 and MMX vs Banjo Kazooie and MGS and I thought "how is this
fair" Yeah well good thing it wasn't really the first pictures 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
2000
just being Majora's Mask was due to the picture. It's not something you
could have known before the contest started. It's similar to how 2006
was missing it's second ace in KH2. Like if 2001 randomly lost FF10
against 1995 and 1997 runs the same Round 4 picture, I would be in the
running for a prize. I would also be the first person in line to say I
was super lucky because how could anyone predict 2001 would go up to bat
without FF10? I certainly didn't. My bracket got smashed by DpObliVion. Congrats to DpObliVion for winning the BGE15 Guru Contest! |
