Master Moltar 04/07/20 4:45:31 PM #335:	Round 1 Yakuza 0 vs. The Witness Moltars Analysis Now a Yakuza game is in a position to win a match? This bracket is wild. The Witness is going to be low on the indie game scale. In the one post-release poll we have on it, it lost to INSIDE, which got killed earlier. Yakuza, while a weak series on GameFAQs, at least has the name recognition here. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6730 Hey if Nioh can win a match despite this result, so can Yakuza 0! Moltars Bracket: Yakuza 0 Moltars Prediction: Yakuza 0 65% ____________________________________________________________________________ transiences Analysis Look, man, I don't know. Kiryu made the 2018 contest and wasn't horrible? The Witness is a poor man's Braid? Yakuza seems like more this site's kind of game? All I can see in my head when thinking about this match is that Kiryu dancing gif? Yeah, let's go with that. The Witness has the pedigree of a good game and certainly had the buzz around it for years until it came out and was a bunch of line drawing puzzles. Yakuza 0 seems like it could win this one big, but maybe it falls flat on its face and Witness's indie cred makes it look bad, I don't think Yakuza can lose but the range is pretty big. transience's prediction: Yakuza 0 with 65.31% ____________________________________________________________________________ Leonharts Analysis Man, what do you even do with this match? We saw two separate Yakuza characters in the 2018 Character Battle, and they both finished near the bottom of the X-Stats. However, The Witness literally got doubled by INSIDE in a GOTY poll. I know nothing about this game at all, but looking it up, its made by the same dude who made Braid, and its apparently inspired by Myst. That made me wonder how Myst would do if it ever made a contest. It was the best-selling PC game of the 90s, but I know this site didnt care about the PC back then. Still, even if you didnt play Myst, you knew what it was. It was a big deal. Huh? Oh right, this match. Yakuza wins, I guess. By how much, I have no idea. Leonharts Vote: Yakuza 0 Leonharts Prediction: Yakuza 0 with 62.25% ____________________________________________________________________________ Kleenexs Analysis Make no mistake - Yakuza is going to be weak. That said, The Witness is going to be weaker. Yakuzas popularity in the west has probably tripled in popularity over the past couple years, from an infinitesimally small number to one thats...slightly higher than that. Yakuza has at least had characters make it into the last character battle. The Witness lost to INSIDE in the only real poll it has ever been in. And we all saw what happened to INSIDE. Yakuza could actually put up a pretty big number, but I wouldnt expect that to mean much in the long run. Its lucky it got thrown in a pretty weak division overall. Kleenexs Prediction: Yakuza 0 with 70% ____________________________________________________________________________ Guests Analysis Dilated Chemist This match sounds like it was put together intentionally. I haven't had the chance to play either game but I have heard of them. One is from a franchise that seems to follow in the ways of games like Grand Theft Auto and maybe Shenmue.The other some type of puzzle Myst-ish artsy game. The only puzzle game people care about on this site is Portal but The Witness did get a lot of praise when it came out so I can see it doing OK here. I do remember seeing a badass clip of a Yakuza turn-based RPG, but come to find out it was just an April Fools prank. Maybe one day that'll be a real game. The Rat ---err Witness - gets chopped up and fed to the sharks. Yakuza 0 wins with 58.88% (Crazy 88s!) ____________________________________________________________________________ Crew Consensus: Yakuza snuffs out The Witness. --- Moltar Status: hype Contest Analysis Crew Archives: http://thecrew.speedrunwiki.com/ <cite>Master Moltar posted [p:936962036] in Game of th...
