I find him to be the most interesting character of this contest. He's pretty much the most iconic character of this generation, many people consider Witcher 3 to be the GotG (and many even consider it the greatest game ever as evidenced by Game Informers recent Fan Vote with Witcher 3 being rated best game ever). He's a badass swords dude, the main character of an RPG, and even getting his own Netflix series. On any other site, I'd consider him one of the favorites to win the entire contest.

Then comes into play the fact this is Gamefaqs. They often tend to ignore popular new games and Western games, so I'm wondering just how much this'll effect Geralt. I have no idea how Gamefaqs will react to him.

He's going to be similar to Shepard at his peak, and impress us all.

If he actually loses to a Tier C Mario character, I'd lose all hope for this site. I didn't even blink to bring him to Auron, thats where it gets tricky when I made the bracket.

him being a poster boy, bending the rules to let him in, and then (possibly) Soul Cal 6 power?

The push is like him being from a very popular game AND that cdprojectred saying that they might rally him. Like the developers want to rally him.

If this will happen no one will no.

However, I don't think him beating Rosalina is out of the question. I have him losing to Riku in R3. Why don't i have him losing to ninja gaiden Ryu? Maybe I was drunk or something.

Is Rosalina actually supposed to have any strength? I'd assume she would be a much weaker version of Peach, and effing Gordon Freeman beat Peach and she got doubled by Terra. Against Geralt seems like a doubling at minimum.

I have him making it to the champion bracket but what do I know!

I mean, he's the main character of what seems to be one of the top 5 most popular games of the decade, and everywhere I go people seem to be talking about him and his series, so it seemed like a safe bet

I'm shocked at how many people are taking Rosalina over him. NintendoFAQs only goes so far, and Super Mario Galaxy's strength on this site has never looked impressive at all.

I agree with the comments that Geralt will be around Shepard's level if not better. I have him making it to Auron, and I was really tempted to have him win the division too.

Have him winning two matches and losing to Riku (though I could see him winning that).

Didn't think too hard about the first two matches but figured KH3 hype would be pretty real.

Game of the generation is a VERY bold claim. You do know how long a generation is right?

Here's some games I would put as game of the generation(2000-18) over The Witcher 3:

World of Warcraft
League of Legends
Final Fantasy X
Grand Theft Auto 3
Grand Theft Auto 5
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Wii Sports
Super Mario Galaxy
Halo: Combat Evolved
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
The Sims
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Overwatch

I do respect your research though. Never heard of that Game Informer poll before.

I still did not know who Geralt was when I first looked through the bracket. I think a lot of voters on this site would feel the same way, if they haven't played The Witcher 3

This is kinda silly too.

https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=Breath%20of%20the%20Wild,Witcher%203

We know that Witcher 3 is statistically more popular then Breath of the Wild. Would you make the argument "Oh people wouldn't know Link because they didn't play Breath of the Wild"?

I think he's gonna be pretty strong (shocking I know). I don't think he will beat Auron or Vincent in the division finals, but he will be there.

I think Commander Shepard is a good comparison but I think he will be even stronger as he is an established character. Shepard is an avatar, he can be a man or a woman and look however you want him too. His default appearance is pretty recognizable I suppose but not as recognizable as Geralt's. I think Geralt also benefits from the loyalty of his fanbase. I love Mass Effect as much as anybody, but I wouldn't feel obligated to back Shep against any opponent. I would with Geralt and I think most of his fanbase feels this way.

Combine that all with SC6 being released so recently and all the Netflix hype and I think Geralt is basically a lock for the division final.

Wii Sports was well received by critics and received a number of awards. Selling over 82 million copies by the end of 2017, it is the bestselling single-platform game of all time, and fourth best overall.

The Witcher 3 was also a commercial success, shipping nearly ten million copies by March 2016.

8 times the sales.

Just that Wii Sports better defines the generation, which is true. And Witcher 3 is my favorite game of all time.
