I await my third contest in a row where I end up on the leaderboard really late in the contest, until one result knocks me out of prize contention.

(it's less impressive when you realize that I bet against Link in the finals in CBX, but evened out by BGE3 where my Pokemon > OoT pick was no worse than anyone with Ocarina winning the contest, and instead me nailing Chrono Trigger's strength perfectly ended up being my undoing since Melee got rallied).

I think 35th or so in the most recent one. Though I would have won if not for the shameful Tifa shenanigans.

Really surprising that you'd doubt the power of boobs when you have four of them in your name.

Untitled Goose Game vs Alan Wake match
Both of these games will be lucky to even make the bracket, assuming 128 entrants. Even if they do, neither will get a high enough seed to allow this match to be a thing.

I've seen enough Vyse/Laharl and Laharl/Neku tier matches to know that there will always be a fodder match that shouldn't have happened, but did.

Sure, but it won't be between those two games is all I'm saying. Vyse, Laharl, and Neku all have real fanbases on GameFAQs, which allowed them to garner significant nomination support at the time. Not only is that not the case for Alan Wake or Goose Game, but the other metrics Allen is using to determine the bracket (popularity, critic reviews, and GameFAQs user ratings) will further disadvantage both of those games.

Looks like the weakest games that won a match last game of the decade were probably valkyria chronicles (over laharls game, appropriately enough), persona 3, and deus ex (of not winning by enough fame against rock band 2) all of three which were within 4 spots on the xstats. They were also close together in 2015 stats. Dont think goose game could make any of the three struggle.

alan wake would probably be a bottom 10 game if it makes it in:

Things aint gonna go better for his game 7 years later

I mean, anything can win (and even dominate) if the competition is weak enough

Look at Caim dominating the three-way bonus match with Chester and Spring Breeze Dancin'

The previous GotD contest, the previous game contest, and the previous contest (a character battle in 2018) all had 128 entrants, so we're assuming that will also be the case this time.

ShortReplies posted...

The contest will have NCAA-style seeding, from 1 to 16, based on a combination of nominations, popularity, critic reviews, and GameFAQs user ratings. That means we're not going to be seeing Witcher 3 vs. Breath of the Wild in round 1, since both games should garner 1 seeds based on those metrics.

I can't find any data on how many copies sold of any NGage game, much less Operation Shadow. I could find that the NGage shipped three million units, but there's no way more than a small percentage of units ever touched an Operation Shadow game card.

24 hours to vote is fair and there is nothing wrong with that.

So you will make the bracket and i will choose which game wins from the start till the finals and hand over my bracket? So lets say i make 1 mistake in first round then the 2nd round there is high chance that my mistake carries on?

Example:
First Round:
Fallout 4 Vs Horizon Zero Dawn
Hollow Knight Vs God of War.

So lets say I hand the bracket for a win Fallout 4 and Hollow Knight, but instead Fallout 4 won and God of War won, so next round if God of War also won against Fallout 4 I also lose the pick?

In short we choose our picks only at the start of the contest and not each round separately?
