Looking at the points I missed so far (I got 114), I've only got two matches where I find myself stupid for not thinking otherwise. Like, I wish I had called stuff like Bloodborne > Fire Emblem or Tropical Freeze > DMC5, but I don't blame myself for thinking otherwise. There was reason to. Same goes if Skyrim loses to Witcher or Three Houses loses to Xenoblade. I hate those picks because I was so back and forward about them, but I had my good reasons to think what I didn't.

Now the two where I did not have that:

Tales of Beseria > Hollow Knight
In this one I was looking at earlier polls, trying to determine their strengths and I couldn't find a clear favorite. Went with the RPG because of that. I completely missed that the Hollow Knight polls where before its consoles ports for some reason. It was basically a coinflip and wouldn't have been if I had that information.

Sekiro > Monster Hunter: World
I had completely forgotten just how big World is here compared to other Monster Hunter games. I knew that it had sold so much better and yet for some reason couldn't remember it when making my bracket. I just thought Sekiro looked okay in GotY polls and that MHW never looked worth much, so why think it would now. It's not even that I expected the Soulsborne boost we've been seeing, I didn't bank on that anywhere else, taking DS, DS3 and Bloodborne to lose as early as it was thinkable (did pick Nioh to win at least). Somewhere in round 1 I was reminded about how big MHW is and... yeah. Flipped to MHW in oracle and battle challenge without thinking twice and I tend to stick with my picks even if they look unlikely!
