Regarding the Ace Attorneys, I think it's easy for us to underestimate just how little everyone else cares about anything Ace Attorney-related except Phoenix himself, and that includes all the Ace Attorney games. This is mostly accurate, but people do really love 1 and 3, and that's why you see them in GotD1 and 2015 as low seeds, because we can never really come to a consensus on which one to mass nomiante, so they end up drawing matches that are way out of their league. This is important to understand if you want to know why Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice didn't make it at all, firstly because there wasn't exactly a mass consensus on which one to nominate here. Secondly, the 2010s saw a lot of activity in the Visual Novel market, that just wasn't there for GotD1. Shu Takumi, the writer of the original trilogy, lent his skills to Ghost Trick, which did make it in. Danganronpa was a big twist on the murder mystery aspect, and though it had its own issues with no consensus option to nominate, it managed to push through DR2 as a 14 seed. The Zero Escape series also released throughout this decade, and managed to push in VLR itself despite competiting with 999 as the fan favorite of the series. And on the western front, Life is Strange was a big hit on the board as well, and ended up being the best seeded VN of the bunch, and I think ranked just above VLR on the unadjusted stats. To say nothing of the snubs in the genre, viral hits like Katawa Shoujo and Doki Doki Literature Club! had some decent support in the nomination process as well. All of these little things, combined with the Ace Attorney games just being continuations of the series, not really bringing all that much innovation to the genre, and you can see why they have been a bit disposable this time around. They would probably beat all the other VNs in the bracket off brand recognition, except maybe LiS, but I wouldn't trade them DR2 or VLR's spot because Ace Attorney has had its time to shine, and will be back again in contests that play to its strengths. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service!
