I get why people put Portal above Portal 2, but my 2 cents is that Portal 2 took what was great about Portal and made it even better.

Portal 2 is currently beating Majora's Mask 7-1 in that pairing; either a lot of people who prefer Portal 2 didn't vote in that match, or we don't have a good representative sample of the voters yet...

(Portal and Portal 2 are the Smith Set at the moment. I agree with Alduskkel, FWIW.)

Or, three people voting MM in the match have Portal 2 ahead now. What's up with that?

(I am also getting a slightly different count for that round, now; either I goofed copying, or someone edited/deleted some votes. I now have Super Mario 64/Pokémon GSC and Majora's Mask/Portal 2 tied. Probably for the best that those games advanced, even if it was an error - we might have ended up with Portal vs. Pokemon in both semifinals otherwise.)

Definitely not for the best. Anything that would have knoced out SM64 the way it deserved would have been better than how this tournament played out.

3 > 4 > 7 > 12 > 14 > 8 > 1 > 5 > 6 > 10 > 13 > 2 > 11 > 9

Condorcet Results:


Portal 2 (13-0)
Portal (12-1)
Mario Kart 64 (10-2-1)
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (9-3-1)
League of Legends (8-4-1)
Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal/HeartGold/SoulSilver, Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow/FireRed/LeafGreen (5-5-3)
Super Mario 64, Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings (4-7-2)
Tetris, Super Mario Bros. 3 (3-8-2, 4-9-0)
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (3-9-1)
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (3-10)
Diablo II (0-13)

The top 7 has no pairwise conflicts, just the ties (MK64 t. Pokémon Red/etc., LoZ:OoT t. LoZ:MM, LoL t. Tetris). The next 6 is a bit of a mess, though.

Results are pairwise records, not vote counts.

So in the Favorite Video Game Tournament it seems the winner was not even close to the favorite of the majority of participants, lol.

Some results are skewed by people not voting because their favorite game is paired with a game they've never played.
