(+) Yeah! (+)

Kind of sad about this match - I actually like Rayman, but it should have been Origins here, not Legends!

That's not hollow knight

A Rayman win would put a nice bandaid on my bleeding bracket.

So would hgss bleeding percentage today.

Celeste is an incredible game.

This is probably the best round 1 match in terms of game quality.

---

Celeste holding on
---

3 vote increase. You got this Celeste!

100%

Oh and Divinity Original Sin II could be considered an indie and thats beasting.

Time to stop comparing games to other games based on publishing model!

---

Legends>Origins

It has the greater variety and a lot more content. Of course I suspect the reason it is here over Origins is the fact that Legends got a million ports, and I think did really well on Switch.

---

The lead is slowly but surely going up.

20 vote barrier achieved

TWENTY VOTE BARRIER

Nice try, Rayman!

20 vote lead, it's over now.

Just yet another point gone.

---

for the record Divinity's current percentage on Hearthstone would put it at 15.52% in the 2015 X-Stats, good for 115/128, between CoD4 and Up Your Arsenal

that's just how pathetically weak Hearthstone is
---

I'm just waiting from one of these to blow the doors off the other with a massive update

Everything else is just foreplay

---

Dammit!

---

To be fair to 2015 Hearthstone there is no way OoT was that weak in 2015.

...On the other hand, Hearthstone is nowhere near as popular or well regarded as it was in 2015!

---

Mario Kart 8 is picked by 55%... I guess it's more of a casual game than many things.

---

we have 3 remakes in this contest and all of them got really weak opponents. we'll need a few days before we can assess them.

What's the third one, after Pokemon and Persona 4?

I mean there is plenty of room for OoT to move up in the X-Stats and Hearthstone to still be last

the second to last place game still gets 57% on it

29.44% or more

It looks like NieR: Automata is just way out of HGSS's league here. Even if HGSS is the strongest modern Pokemon game, it could still lose 60-40.
---

Celeste is an indie game and a good game. But Rayman feels like an Indie game and is also a good game.

Comeon Rayman, push through.

---

Celeste is slowly pulling away but no kill shot yet
---

Night in the woods getting 30% on Bayo 2 feels like a stretch to me!

---

I have so many comments I want to make but I don't want to jinx it!

I'll make a safe one - Nier is slipping. Still a good result, but it looks less impressive with each update.

---

Has Rayman ever looked respectable before?

Now that I definitely wouldn't have seen coming before the contest.

I mean I still don't think that's going to happen, but just Nier comfortably beating Pokemon is still a big deal.

I don't feel good about Celeste still. I feel like any moment now Rayman is going to pull out a 30 vote cut. Celeste might get a 30 vote gain, idk man.

On the flipside, I'm happy to see NieR is probably pretty good! HGSS is a weird game. Post-GSC Pokemon is pathetic here but HGSS isn't fully that? I know people say it is the game the hardcore fanbase loves but its obvious GameFAQs isn't the hardcore Pokemon fanbase. If it was I can't imagine that BW2 wouldn't have made the bracket.

Honestly, as long as it stays in the high 60s (and it should), it's a fine performance. 70% would just be bonus.

how much stronger is Bayo 1 than 2

Nope, never.
---

If HGSS loses to Nier (or even comes close to losing), then GameFAQs is clearly punishing it for not belonging in this decade. Original GSC is a powerhouse.

---

Nier and Bayonetta are basically the same game.
Fast combat with a hot chick.

I guess it comes down to which chick is hotter and which combat is faster?

Leonhart said Nier could go 60% on HGSS, not the other way around.
