Any thoughts on the new contest?

I'm a Board 8 user at heart, so naturally I'm curious if anyone else will be entering/following the "Best Series Ever" contest. There's some interesting match-ups, although the bracket isn't too difficult; some of the matches that have set the board ablaze are Pokemon/Star Ocean, Fire Emblem/Silent Hill, Castlevania/Halo and Mega Man/Mario Kart. Any thoughts?

My prediction... is that Board 8 will analyze the "close" match-ups way too much and they will all get burned.

And it sucks that both Mega Man's will lose in the second round to the top two seeds. Fucking Ceej :(

Wait, it's up already? I don't remember Ceej "officially" announcing the nominations, and I wasn't planning on doing it until he did that.

Yeah, noms never made the front page on the site for this contest. Ceej hasn't really seemed... enthusiastic about this contest. Noms were up for over a month (although, to be fair, he was sick) and the bracket seemed hastily thrown together at times. Dunno if the contest will even receive much exposure outside of Board 8.

At any rate, the stats regulars are infamous for always falling flat on their faces in at least one notable match every contest - but this is only notable because they DO tend to get a lot more right than wrong.

Good call on that one.

Go go Castlevania! Tonight/tomorrow is my bracket's moment of truth. =X
