Master Moltar 04/05/20 6:19:54 PM #231:	Round 1 Super Meat Boy vs. Slay the Spire Moltars Analysis So now that were a bit deeper in the Contest, I can say something like Wow its Slay the Spire, a game that lost to the game that got 15% on BotW but beat the game that got 21% on GTAV in its GotY poll! Meat Boy is a far more popular indie game and should win pretty easy here. Indie game SFF incoming? Moltars Bracket: Super Meat Boy Moltars Prediction: Super Meat Boy 72% ____________________________________________________________________________ transiences Analysis I feel kinda bad for Slay the Spire here. It's a nice little indie game and attracted a good bit of attention for being a great deckbuilder roguelike this past year. It's better than Talos or Obra Dinn or Inside. Unfortunately, it's up against one of the most popular indies around in Super Meat Boy. We haven't seen Meat Boy since 2010 but it's almost certainly a top 5 indie game in this contest. I think I'd put it around Ori's strength as its floor, and its ceiling could be a lot higher. I sometimes pause with older indies but Meat Boy has managed to stay relevant for a good long while as it gets mentioned as one of the tightest 'masocore' platformers around. I'm not always sure that those play here, but the internet remembers Meat Boy fondly and it should do well. transience's prediction: Super Meat Boy with 75.36% ____________________________________________________________________________ Leonharts Analysis Super Meat Boy was one of the original games that sparked the indie phenomenon, and I imagine a lot of people have played it at this point or at least have heard of it. Im in the middle of playing it myself! The main character has a really memorable design as well, which will really pop out during the match picture. Slay the Spire, on the other hand, is a roguelike card game, which I cant imagine plays too well here. We saw Hearthstone be the weakest game in the field in 2015, and while there may be other reasons for that particular games weakness, I cant imagine Slay the Spire will be too much better! Leonharts Vote: Super Meat Boy Leonharts Prediction: Super Meat Boy with 72.44% ____________________________________________________________________________ Kleenexs Analysis Slay the Spire is super fucking cool, but its going to get obliterated. Super Meat Boy is up there with the most prolific indie games around, and Spire is just completely outclassed here. I was actually kind of surprised to find out that Meat Boy hasnt been in a game-related poll since 2010 game of the year. Its hard to really come up with too much more to say about this one. Its two indie games and one is just infinitely more popular than the other. Kleenexs Prediction: Super Meat Boy with 72% ____________________________________________________________________________ Guests Analysis Black Turtle ____________________________________________________________________________ Crew Consensus: Meaty Boy with a meaty victory. --- Moltar Status: hype Contest Analysis Crew Archives: http://thecrew.speedrunwiki.com/ <cite>Master Moltar posted [p:936842570] in Game of th...
