At this stage in the contest I think everyone should just concentrate on trying to either push or kill SBAllens bracket.

If finishing under 80% is considered weakness, perhaps out expectations for 1998 are dialed in a little high. 2003 isn't a fodder NES year. It has actual games.

SFF matches tend to have lower vote totals. I wonder if this match somehow isn't SFF and 1998 is just performing a straight up beat down. Yesterday's match got about 1000 votes less than the first 2 matches from this round. While I don't think there was any SFF in 1991/1994, both years strongly draw from the SNES and would have a ton of fanbase overlap. 1998/2003 isn't really in the same situation, as I count 3 Nintendo games on both sides. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as DpObliVion, Guru Champ! ...

Also a bit nervous about 97 vs 01. 2001 is clearly the better year just not in gamefaqs contest strength. 97's my bracket pic and it winning would guarantee a leaderboard finish but at the same time 2001 is just the better year and hard to root against. --- Fave Five: 1.

What the ****? Just 19% predicted 1994 to get to the semis? What is this? 1994 faced off against 2004 in round 1 and then 2011 in round 2. Both 2004 and 2011 appealed very strongly to casual bracket makers (compared to the Gurus). By the time 1994 could make it to round 3, it would have very little support among the casuals. So that explains the extremely low prediction percentage. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as DpObliVion, Guru Champ! ...
