How many wins does Assassin's Creed have before this? I can only think of Ezio winning R1 in 2013.

Ezio beat Simon Belmont (in 2010) and Tails and Bomberman (in 2013). Assassin's Creed II beat ICO in GOTD.

Probably more noteworthy is that Ezio went up against Zelda twice in 2010 and 2018 - first time he got 38%, 2nd time 25%.

right now, I'm thinking Sonic/Meat Boy is a toss-up

I'd say Sonic, but I don't feel comfortable in it

I feel reasonably comfortable if the current percentages hold - as bad as Ys is, it has to be stronger than Slay the Spire.

Wow, everything tanked percentage on that update except Black Flag.

Black Flag dropped over 3 points and only won the update by 21.

Early thoughts:

Persona is home and dry. Civ V is really going to struggle but maybe not over if the night vote can chip away. Sonic is dead. SMB will probably hang on - next update crucial.

Edit: 2nd update revision: Persona is actually going to drop like 10 points from the freeze and is dead too. Civ V will prob cover.

There's a massive gap between "complete fidelity to the original" and what it sounds like they've done. Obviously in a remake you're going to edit the script, cut some events out, add some minigames and sideplots, rebuild the battle system, make the environments and soundtrack anew etc... but that doesn't mean you throw away all the highlights everyone remembers and wants to see done with today's technology.

Actually, another change!

$25000 parlay on Persona 5, Civilization V, Sonic Mania and Super Meat Boy

Reasoning:

  1. P5 is going to triple Heavy Rain. Bomb of the round if it doesn't, so it only needs to do a little better than that to make the spread. Seems like recently released games are doing better than older ones (if they are weak), which doesn't favour HR.
  2. Civilization gets a fair bit of respect, even here, and Civ V was well received. AC's name is not worth crap now - see Odyssey getting pulverised like it was some random indie no-name - so I can't see Black Flag blowing out Civ V.
  3. Sonic is actually known, and apparantly Mania is well liked. I'm usually pretty familiar with (and a fan of) the weaker JRPG series that make these contests but Ys is too niche even for me. It'll get 20-25% for sure, but more than that is asking a lot when so many apathy voters have to pick and will be going for Sonic.
  4. If you're betting on a 3-way parlay, why not make it 4?! Pot odds and all that. I actually know what Super Meat Boy is - his game was pretty awesome and well supported. His rivalry avoided a doubling against Zidane and Kuja (he then came last against Game & Watch and Lee Everett...). Slay the Spire I see is a recently released roguelike... doesn't seem like the kind of indie that's going to do well against an older, more recognisable opponent. It got blown out by Untitled Goose Game and 60:40'd by Disco Elysium - I'd take SMB to easily beat DE. Here goes some cash...

The Witcher 3 is going to be the biggest bomb of the big contenders, and isn't even going to be a fair bomb, because there's no reason to think it should be shooting for 80% on an Assassin's Creed game (which I'm sure sucks, but isn't going to be anti-voted to hell like Call of Duty).

If it actually hits 80% then lol me.

Agree about City of the Ancients being exceptionally beautifully drawn. That sequence once you get out of Bone Village has this odd climactic yet calm atmosphere. And I enjoyed Aeris' character for much the same reasons - plaintive, yes, chasing after a peace she knew she'd never get...

FFVII is special - I played it six years after release (after VI, VIII, IX and X, and many other RPGs) and was still blown away because its scope.

I wouldn't worry about your S-ranking missions on your first playthrough at all - you will still have enough XP to keep your troops at a good level, even if you rarely play skirmishes (and you can easily learn how to S-rank a skirmish in under 10mins and get a ton of XP really quickly if you want to). It's a lot more fun to just play the missions as they come IMO.

Try using Orders - they are really powerful.

The correct concensus opinion on GameFAQs is that the gaming world peaked c.1998, with a strong tail into the early 2000s. We would prefer that nothing changed since then, and reaffirm that preference through contests.
