I compared God of War to The Last of Us in the Smash/Odyssey writeup, and WItcher 3 was right next to Odyssey in the 2015 stats. If you take God of War's result against Smash Ultimate as it impressing against a very strong opponent, then this might not be the worst upset pick to go with. People really like God of War. Here's the thing: people REALLY like Witcher. There is zero doubt in my mind that 2020 Witcher 3 is much stronger than 2015 Witcher 3. It's blown up considerably since then, which is impressive considering it was already very popular when it came out. The game had sold around 8 million copies around the 2015 contest and since then has sold over 20 million total. It's considered the Game of the Decade by a lot of outlets and a lot of people. It got a Switch port, and that means something on this Nintendo-loving site. It just got a super high profile and well-received Netflix show and we saw what that did for Alucard. I was impressed with God of War, and with a little luck I think it could have won a few of the other divisions, but this is too tall a mountain to climb. Witcher 3 losing this wouldn't be as embarrassing as losing to SMG2, but it would be close to it. Expected Result Witcher 3 > God of War 56 - 44 -- Division 6 Finals Persona 5 Red Dead Redemption 2 https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7471-best-of-2018-game-of-the-year https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7514-whats-your-all-time-favorite-2-game https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6953-best-of-2017-game-of-the-year https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7069-whats-your-all-time-favorite-5-game Persona 4 (2015g) VS Red Dead Redemption (2015g) Persona 4 has a strength of 25.16. Red Dead Redemption has a strength of 24.60. Persona 4 wins with 51.11% of the vote! Yeah...there is literally no reason to pick RDR2 here. Persona 5 has impressed in every poll it's been in. RDR2 has not. It has to be stronger in comparison to RDR1 than Persona 5 will be to Persona 4, and boy oh boy is that not happening. RDR1 vs. RDR2 is a wash. Persona 5 brought the series to new heights and was insanely well-received. It has more sales than Persona 4, a higher playrate, and Persona 4 doesn't even have the 'fan favorite among the hardcore fanbase' card to play. Heck, Joker is in Smash Bros, guys. If Persona 5 can't win this then I'm not sure what it takes for Persona to have mainstream success on GameFAQs. Expected Result Persona 5 > RDR2 56 - 44 --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. ...
