Lopen's invading guest analysis:

Yeah so I don't really care about this match. Kinda boring. Think it's a pretty straightforward 60-40 for Zelda, though I've done no real thinking about the match to actually try and bullseye a percentage. Kinda dreading if Pokemon surprises here because then that means the Pokemenace is gonna be in top form this year. That being said I'd be pretty shocked to see it.

Lopen's invading guest prediction:
Windwaker with 60.60%

We all really don't want Pokemon to win, do we? To be honest, I can't blame any of ya.

Xenogears! Never really considered Star Wars here. That feels like a game that would do better in a different time, with a wider audience. Xenogears is like a perfect GameFAQs game!

Unless RBY actually dethrones OoT, I want to see Pokemon fail as early and often as possible.

RBY beating Ocarina is the worst possible timeline

Just remember how effective rallies are in these contests. I was once tempted to start a rally for AoE II, but then again that game has negative infinity chance.

So I guess rallies can only go so far... unless you're Draven

Rallies are pretty overrated. To get a high concentrated rally, one that's effective, requires a really close match, an extremely hardcore and devoted fanbase, and an opponent that people aren't likely to choose instead. The Draven/LoL thing was something totally unique.

This world exists when RBY beats Zelda. A vote for this is a vote for MWC arguments forever

And I wouldn't be surprised if Reddit did something like that again. They can easily do something like this to another game--doesn't have to be LoL. The bad votals makes it more vulnerable to this type of thing too.

And concerning Pokemon, as one who was a complete Pokemaniac as a boy, I can say that the series has numerous flaws, and the first game in particular doesn't hold up as well as other games from that time and before. I'd vote Half-Life over that in a jiffy.

Xenogears did pretty good! it's only 1% away from Symphonia. moral victory at least. my big spiel still has merit.

hey when you go full Lopen you lose matches 65/35

I lost one 53/47, better than Persona/DQ8

Hey I'll have you know the amount of 60-40s I lose is exaggerated! Most of my misses are at least somewhat close! History doesn't remember incorrectly called upsets even if the upset was in the realm of possibility once the percentages got nailed down.

I predicted Red with 65% against Ocelot, Lopen had it 65-35 the other way. Is that the biggest gap between two predictions on the crew ever?

the sad thing is that you were about equally far off but red sox gets credit because Red barely won
