| Kotetsu534 04/11/20 7:32:49 PM #63 | LeonhartFour posted... the more the indies underwhelm in matches we think they should win the less confidence I have in something like Hollow Knight I agree. I really think the likely explanation for most indie success so far is "their opponents really sucked". Dragon's Dogma was probably weak years ago and is now completely forgotten (I do like that its name rhymes with Ghetto Gospel...). DA:I similarly - it probably just sucks, it's precisely the kind of low tier western game that isn't going to retain strength (if freakin' Uncharted, with somewhat memorable characters, can't hold up over the years, how is 2nd tier Bioware going to manage it?). Destiny would lose to damn near anything, and Stardew Valley might be the #1 indie. XCOM2? Completely not our thing (and I respect Cuphead as a bit of an exception). Tales of Berseria? Probably weaker by a good step than Vesperia, and it lost easily to Borderlands 10 years ago. If only it had a Switch release... If games from major publishers are really weak they can of course lose to the stronger indies. Is FFXV that weak? Probably not. It's hard for me to imagine a game that won the GOTY 4 years ago falling that far. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |

| Kotetsu534 04/10/20 8:53:42 PM #19 | There's just too much absolute crap for interesting matches in R1 (and even the interesting matches we have had have been fodderfests other than DMC5/DKCTF - Ori/DA:I, UT/Octopath, TWD/Bastion, DBZF/RL, now Celeste/Rayman). It doesn't help that some games that would have had at least tad of strength - e.g. Pokemon Sun/Moon (and other versions!), Zelda Skyward Sword, Smash for Wii U, Mario 3D World, God of War 3, FFXIII (don't lol too hard, it would beat half this bracket!), Phoenix Wright didn't make it in. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |

| Kotetsu534 04/10/20 5:06:30 PM #87 | Nier might well flop to be honest. It's been in one poll and it got rolled by Horizon (which did murder Fortnite, but so could a lot of games). Edit: Oh it was also in a poll next year with its XB1 release... nothing too strong from it there either (extrapolated it got 38% on RDR2) although I wouldn't judge re-release polls too much. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |

| Kotetsu534 04/10/20 4:48:24 PM #173 | TRE and I have a pretty cool direct elimination fight coming up in R2. We only have 4 different picks from now to the end up the contest and they are all in R2. Currently I am one point up. The differences are: TRE has Sekiro, I have MonHun. TRE has Shovel Knight, I have Undertale (lol). TRE has Read Dead Redemption, I have Xenoblade Chronicles. TRE has Sonic Mania, I have Super Meat Boy. So I need to win 2 of the 3 where I have a chance above to survive (I don't think it makes any difference if Shovel Knight wins or loses). --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |

| Kotetsu534 04/09/20 7:47:10 PM #95 | I'm interpreting this rule: If you bet on BotW, it would have to beat TOW by 40%, meaning it would have to get at least 70% of the vote (70-30 = 40). If you bet on TOW (+40) it needs to score at least 30.01% of the vote (69.99 - 30.01 = 39.98) to keep the difference in percentage, or spread, within 40 points. I've played this game a few times over the years - even won it once! - and never have I seen a scenario where a ton of money has been on the line with such a close spread so late on that we're discussing this. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
