nice summary Charmander! If we maintain pace with our vote totals Dr_Football will be closer. I think you need around 100,000 rallied votes in order to win. --- Game of the Decade 2 - Current Score: 204/240 Today's Picks: TLOU and Skyrim ... Copied to Clipboard!

Ngamer vs COVID-19 is the battle it will come down to?No - Dark Souls is still an extreme longshot to reach the finals. Dark Souls scored a few percentage points over Witcher 3 on a far weaker game last round, and now it's easily got a lower percentage than Witcher 3 on a game that's certainly weaker in match circumstances. Plus, there's the WRPG hierarchy to consider. I would say azuarc's the next most likely Guru winner; though Skyrim > Dark Souls is still a questionable proposition at this point, it's more likely than Dark Souls > Witcher 3 considering Skyrim's looked better two rounds in a row when adjusting for TLoU 2 backlash. --- "I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people who do."

i dont think Skyrim could ever beat Witcher 3 directly
it could be stronger indirectly, i suppose (but also seems unlikely). but in a direct match i am fairly confident Witcher SFFs it and claims a very easy win. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah, Azuarc and Ngamer are the two likeliest Guru winners at this point by a good margin.
After that, I'd say it's Big Bob honestly. --- congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru ... Copied to Clipboard!

I stupidly had Destiny over Stardew Valley, my only error of Div 5. Oof, yeah, I didn't perfect a single division this year. Division 2 was the only one where I even perfected R1 but I had both of R3's losers losing in R2. Looks like my best Division was 8. Only 5-3 in R1 but perfect from R2 on. Not my best contest. (As for your assertion that loads of people probably got D8 perfect...yeah, sounds right. 2 of my 3 mistakes were stupid upset picks, so it mostly comes down to the Celeste-Rayman Legends match). --- Also known as Cyberchao X. ...

Just realised I misread your previous post. I didn't see the 2015 part!Yeah, that's why I said it. Division 4 was easily this year's toughest; in 2015, it was Division 5--DKC2 > XBC and FE:A was the big one, with less than a quarter of Gurus even correctly predicting DKC2 to win the first match, but it also featured another minor R1 upset in Suikoden II > Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and two non-upsets that nevertheless tripped up over 40% of brackets in FFIX > Kingdom Hearts and FE:A > Super Mario Maker, the former a 3-point match. Though looking through the list of other Gurus to pick DKC2 > FE:A correctly, it looks like I wasn't the only one to perfect it; Ange did, too. Still, 2 Gurus out of 197, probably the least-predicted outside of Undertale's... Eh? Only tied for that honor? Yeah, Division 7 was a killer, too, because so few of us had SMRPG winning it, and a surprising number of those precious few were among those who took an incorrect upset on WoW-CC. There were also a couple who took the MGSV > Dark Souls upset, and one who managed to perfect all the "tough" ones but took a flier on the BoI:R upset of Witcher 3. (Two of this contest's Elite Eight in the same division in 2015, when 3 of the remaining 6 weren't even out yet? Yep!) --- Also known as Cyberchao X. ... Copied to Clipboard!

@HaRRicH Congratulations. It's a great feeling, isn't it? (Lone Guru to perfect Division 5 in 2015 here.) I'm looking over that division right now and maaaaan for a division that had LoZ:OoT clearly winning it I butchered so many matches in it. Incorrectly took: Monster Hunter 4U > Suikoden 2 Xenoblade > DKC2 Mario Maker > FE: Awakening ^both of these made sure I couldn't get points in Round 2 of those four-pack (plus I thought DKC2 would be the weakest of the four) Banjo-Kazooie > C:SotN ^this then made sure I couldn't get any points in Round 3 when C:SotN faced DKC2 That's 11/32 points I missed out on that division, or 11/17 points I missed that were available when not counting the LoZ:OoT matches that were essentially locks. Wrecked me. All that's to say good job there! Perfect divisions aren't exactly the same as prizes or finishing on the leaderboard, but it's important to hold onto your good picks and this is a neat little personal trophy to hold me over until the next contest. --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/ssb/images/0/0d/Sheik-Victory3-SSB4.png ...

First time on the chopping block, and probably the last time too! My bracket wasn't actually that good, so I guess getting this far is nothing to sneeze at. I don't usually make dumb biased picks or upsets, but I went for one this time and it didn't pan out.
