poor 1999
---

next
---

oh hey 99 is trying to make 97 look bad here

eh
---

LOL 2012

what a weak year
---

SFF'd 1999 or 2012?

heh
---

Wow 2012, you can't be that bad
---

I was expecting 2012 to be somewhat on par with 2009 in terms of strength.
---

Every indication from the 2015 contest was that 2012 was indeed that bad...!
---

2012 is the worst. it would lose to every year from 1987-2016.
---

My pity vote for Sonic Adventure (1999) is now in.

Nah, 2012 might be the weakest post-2000 year in the contest. It's got games with dedicated fanbases, but they're relatively small.
---

oh man FFVII almost hit Lucky 7s at the freeze

Same

I overal prefer 1997 for so many fames left out but Sonic Adventure was the shit and super underrated
---

I too expect 2012 to be the weakest outside of the vote-in years (I'd take 1981 over it though) and 1986.

I expect it to gain though, 2009 gained 5% from the board vote

Although at the same time, 2007 should be weaker than 2008, canceling out any advantage 2009 has over 2012.
---

Looks like it isn't Reyn time...!
---

I just noticed that I picked 2010 over 2002. How bad did I fuck up?

I have 97 in my bracket but I had to vote for FFVIII

there is plenty of wiggle room for 2009 to still beat 2012 based on the current percentages
---

It'll cost you 1 pt

Well, it's only going to cost you one point
---

I was expecting 2012 to get beaten worse than 1999. 1999 would destroy 2012. We're only one update in, though.
---

Eh, Uncharted 2 and Batman AA are more than enough for 2009 to beat an absolute trash year like 2012.
---

LOL 2007 went up
---

Welp looks like 2012 won the board vote
---

My oracle for 2007 was 81.5%

My thought was "who the fuck is voting 2012 here?"
---

X-Stats from yesterday:

2008 – 50.00%
2009 – 28.17%
1979 – 10.64%
---

Every match so far has been more than a doubling

That should presumably change tomorrow, but who really knows...!
---

2012 is my favourite gaming year. yep
---

9 people fell off the Top 50. Former third place 16-BITTER, Anagram, Takato, Asrun_Dream, wilson_eh, LIsJustice, pendude, Mega_Mana and X_Dante_X did not have both 2001 and 2008 winning.

Look I had it getting 18.5%, I knew there were a few of you.

2012 has a top ten game in it for me. Might be the only 2012 game I played!
---

was it the first victim in the tragedy of 2015?
---

I voted '97 for Sonic Adventure as well.
---

99 deserves so much better than losing R1

45 R351D3NT3V1L4 8

this person needs to fall off the leaderboard asap

R.I.P. our the #2 game on the site

I have played Xenoblade and I absolutely fucking loved it.

I just mean 2007 had some amazing depth to it. I wasn't dissing 2012 I was thinking of the voting audience.
---

2012 is a year where the strongest game is either Mass Effect 3 or Xenoblade Chronicles. Still didn't expect it to get dumpstered this badly though!

agh I lowered my oracle pick from 80 to 78 I shoud've listened to dtg instead of everyone else

1999 might be getting Final Fantasy SFFed *and* generational SFFed. Take these results with a grain of salt.

I reflexively voted for 97 and then thought about it and for a second suspected that Sonic Adventure was my favorite game from either year

But thankfully I had forgotten about SotN so my vote was correct after all
---

oh I meant Leon. I took 2007 with 79% in the Crew as well.
---

Xenoblade is my favorite game, period, and I didn't vote for 2012.
---

There's the big dropoff for 2007.
---

...and 2007 drops like a rock. Maybe my Oracle drop was good after all!
---

Looking at the results here, I still like 2001 over 1997 later in the contest. I don't see 1999 putting up this kind of performance on 2014.
---

Allen was pretty mean to match up FF7 and FF8 in the match pic rotation. That's brutal for 1999.
---

My thought at this point is "I want to be burned thinking the blowout is bigger rather than smaller" because good grief the blood fest.

Now if only 2002 will live up to my expectations and somehow make the semis.

That one was a risk~
