Re: Actual Top 8 — Poll 4
We knew something like this would happen eventually! Two of the very best RPGs ever—which means, not coincidentally, two of the best SNES games ever—finally facing off. They've been cited as examples and bases of comparison in arguments for or against each other in other threads in previous rounds, ...

Re: TOP 8 — Poll 1
Agreed, easy vote for the best 2D Final Fantasy. And not because SMW is overrated, because I don't think it is—I think it's a great overall game. But FF is just on another level.

Re: Bottom 8 — Poll 2
Is there any argument to vote for the original over alttp? The original isn't bad but alttp is just better in every possible way right? There are a lot of good arguments for the original. One is that is was foundational/influential and that ALttP wouldn't exist without it. Another is that ALttP is ...

Re: BGE Questions & General Discussion
Can any of the games in the bottom 8 win the comp or is it physically impossible? Alttp seems like a contender to possibly do that if it's possible otherwise can it only finish 2nd at best? It's a normal double-elimination tournament, and the bottom bracket games have only been defeated once, so th...

Re: BOTTOM 16 — Poll 5
To its credit, I'm glad Aria got this far because it is indeed the best non-classicvania Castlevania game, but Skies is better.

Re: BOTTOM 16 — Poll 6
R-Type is great, but the third-best modern (post-PS1) Final Fantasy game is better.
(Only FF12 and FF16 are ahead of it.)

Re: BOTTOM 16 — Poll 8
It should additionally be noted that there are three excellent Metcastlevanias in this current batch/round: Super Metroid, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, and Hollow Knight... and the best game among them is the only one whose title isn't awkwardly represented in the terrible genre portmantfaux.

Re: BOTTOM 16 — Poll 7
I love Super Metroid, but it does suffer a little bit from its own success—basically being the base template for every Metroid game, many of which (by necessity) iterate on it in interesting ways. It's still a very solid building block and always fun for a familiar replay. It's harder to vote for it...

Re: BOTTOM 16 — Poll 8
This is a really fun match-up for me because these games both did the same thing for me. They're both big, consistently fun and impressive games that are generous with things to do and keep surprising you with how much more there is. Every new area you find is interesting, and every boss encounter i...

Re: BOTTOM 16 — Poll 3
Breath of the Wild is just more Zelda. :shock: Breath of the Wild is the most different Zelda since Ocarina of Time took the series into 3D. I would even argue that it's the first truly successful execution of the Zelda series "mission" in 3D, which is why I'm voting for it here. The worl...
