Hello, Thank you for contributing to our subreddit. Please consider the following guidelines when filling an alignment chart:

  • Please ensure that your chart is not banned according to the list of banned charts Even if you have good intentions, charts in a banned category tend to invite provocative comments, hostile arguments, ragebait and the like. Assuming the post is acceptable, OP makes the final decision on their chart by rule three.

  • Are there any previous versions to link to? If so, it would be ideal to include links to each of them in the description of this post, or in a reply to this comment. Links can be named by title, winner, or both.

  • Are there any criteria you have for your post? Examples include: "Top comment wins a spot on the chart."; "To ensure variety, only one character per universe is allowed."; "Image comments only." Please include these in a description, or in a reply to this comment.

  • Is your chart given the appropriate flair? Do you need to use a NSFW tag or spoiler tag?

Do not feed the trolls. This is not the place for hot takes on human rights violations. Hatred or cruelty, will result in a permanent ban. Please report such infractions, particularly those that break rules one, two, or three. The automod will automatically remove posts that receive five or more reports. The automod will also remove comments made by users with negative karma. Click here for the Automod FAQ

I would have given FF6 the slight edge on best story for its epic scale and gravitas.

FF6 and Chronotrigger have two of the best soundtracks. Chronotrigger is catchy. FF6 has depth. Depends on preference

The only ones I have a genuine issue with are Doom for best soundtrack, and Donkey Kong Country for best graphics.

Doom's got some memorable tunes to say the least, but that generic MIDI rock music just doesn't sound good to me. I'd dare to say Super Mario Bros. 3 is nicer to listen to.

For best graphics, I feel like we could do better than a SNES game from the first year of that timespan. Even Donkey Kong Country 2 would have been a much better pick. Otherwise Virtua Fighter? Descent 2?

I guess it depends on what someone deems "best graphics"

I assume dkc was voted in over more advanced games because people feel the artstyle holds up better to them. But that raises the question of whats better. A technological advancement that looks poor today or a less advanced game that still looks decent today. Its a conundrum!

The artstyle argument I can understand completely, and there's also the question of what was considered most impressive at the time of its release. Donkey Kong Country was amazing looking in its context. Donkey Kong Country 3 was objectively much better looking, but much less impressive in-context because it came after Mario 64.

But either way, I feel like there must be better than DKC for this one. At its time there were still more technically impressive games like the ones I mentioned. If we want to go with the "still holds up" argument, the sequels are way better looking.

donkey kong country winning for best graphics is a bold take
