Round 1 God of War vs. The Talos Principle

Moltars Analysis

The next competitor in the Who can score the biggest blowout in the Contest contest is God of War! This game got 46% on SSBU a few years ago. Thats pretty good!

Talos Principle got last in its GotY poll back in 2014. Thats pretty bad!

Moltars Bracket: God of War

Moltars Prediction: God of War 87%

transiences Analysis

God of War has become That Game That Got 46% On Smash Ultimate to me. Is it really that good? Is Smash really that bad? It reminds me of the old days when Shadow got 45% on Mario or Vice City got 46% on Melee.

The answer is... it won't matter this round, because Talos Principle is down there with Inside. There's a fascinating match coming up with New Vegas, but Fallout gets to beat up a similarly weak game in Stanley Parable. Trying to measure these two is useless, making today's matches honestly really boring. Bring on round 2 already, these 80/20 blowouts are getting a little exhausting.

transience's prediction: God of War with 84.56%

Leonharts Analysis

I think pretty highly of GoWs potential strength in this contest. Its performed well in every poll its appeared in against solid competition, including Smash Ultimate. We shouldnt get too much of a read off of it here since Talos Principle should be beyond weak, and were in the blowout zone right now. I dont really know what to make of any of these results since we know so little about this field. Makes me glad were doing four matches per day right now so we can just get all these over the top results out of the way as soon as possible!

Leonharts Vote: God of War

Leonharts Prediction: God of War with 83.16%

Kleenexs Analysis

I forgot how good God of War looked in its game of the year poll. It definitely felt like a game that came and went (and that could still be the case), but going toe to toe with a Smash game is impressive stuff. Talos Principle is one of the biggest non-entities in this bracket. I think the game is neat, but a first-person puzzle game not named Portal isnt going to do much of anything around here. Even in its lone GameFAQs poll it finished dead last by a *large* margin. God of War should clean up nicely en route to a likely fight with the Witcher in the division finals.

Kleenexs Prediction: God of War with 85.25%

Guests Analysis Luster Soldier

God of War is in the running to be potentially the strongest Sony console exclusive in this contest, competing against The Last of Us for that title among Sony console exclusives. I would have leaned towards TLoU being the stronger game pre-contest for having way more time to build up a large playrate, but God of War showed good strength by getting just a tad below 46% on Smash Ultimate. A few days ago, Smash Ultimate got about 83% on Tekken 7 and while The Talos Principle shouldn't be as weak as Obra Dinn, it's hard to say if it's even weaker than Tekken 7 or not. 80% from God of War is possible, but any comparisons between God of War and Smash are complicated by the unknown strength of their respective opponents. I would lean towards going over 80% because of the high number of matches so far that have gone above 80%.

Luster Soldier's Bracket: God of War

Luster Soldier's Prediction: God of War - 81.12%

Crew Consensus: Godlike beatdown from the God of War.
