Head to head results between God of War / Red Dead Redemption 2 / Super Smash Bros. Ultimate from the 3 main GotY polls:

SSBU vs. God of War (9-way poll) - 56.54%
SSBU vs. God of War (3-way poll) - 56.58%
SSBU vs. God of War (1v1 poll) - 54.33%
God of War vs. RDR2 (9-way poll) - 56.56%
God of War vs. RDR2 (3-way poll) - 61.05%
SSBU vs. RDR2 (9-way poll) - 62.88%
SSBU vs. RDR2 (3-way poll) - 67.13%

Even though God of War was largely consistent against SSBU in the 9-way and 3-way polls, RDR2 was not consistent between those 2 polls. RDR2 did worse against both God of War and SSBU in the 3-way poll compared to the 1v1 poll. The best explanation for RDR2 getting weaker in the 3-way poll is the anti-vote factor. RDR2 had a far worse early vote in the 9-way poll, and there were only 2 other options someone could vote for if they wanted to anti-vote RDR2 in the 3-way poll (one of which also has a poor early vote). RDR2 only went from 19.68% in the 9-way poll to 21.69% in the 3-way poll. Based on the 9-way poll results, RDR2 should have actually gotten 25.03% instead. I do think the 3-way poll is a better measure of RDR2's strength in a 1v1 poll, especially when anti-votes are an intrinsic part of its strength.

The GTA series is well-known for being anti-voted on this site. The developer of the GTA games is Rockstar. RDR2 is also developed by the same company. It seems likely that all Rockstar games will suffer from anti-votes on this site.

SSBU was pretty consistent on God of War in the 9-way and 3-way poll, but it performed about 2% worse in the 1v1 poll. One possible explanation for this is LFF and this would have been absent from the 1v1 poll. God of War and RDR2 would largely appeal to the same group of gamers.
