TWD's match pic is my favorite of all of them, although it isn't very eye-catching.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

halo reach’s splits tells me everything I need to know - with so many brackets vs. votes this year, bracket votes are going to mean a lot.


We did have an unusually long bracket entry period of about 4 weeks because of the 2 contest delays, so that means more potential voters who will be very active in the voting process for this contest.

I'm not. I'm just really down on Ni no Kuni and think it loses to basically any game that people have an iota of emotions for.

I would argue the opposite. Sekiro is new, much more critically acclaimed, and has been somewhat popular on Twitch and those gaming marathons (AGDQ, SGDQ). Ni no Kuni, to my knowledge, has been invisible for over half a decade.

But if you'd seen it on Twitch or GDQ then you wouldn't skip the match. I'm talking about those who would've abstained, and for sure Ni no Kuni's picture makes it stand out more.

dq11 is the worst game in the bracket for trails to draw. I bet a lot of people think dq stomps this eightpack based on this but I’m not as sure.

As someone who detests all things TWD, I would love if it choked.

Replace "TWD" with "horror" and I'm in.

I think yo is right. Bravely Default is far stronger than NNK. Monster Hunter is looking really good here after the early blip.

To think I initially had Sekiro winning three times. So glad I switched to DQ11 winning three times.

i think people who would've abstained are more likely to recognize the "Sekiro" name as 2019's GotY winner and just vote for that because they heard of it.

it has a sequel that got a demo yesterday and is nintendo-exclusive, It'd definitely beat Ni No Kuni handily.

I mean sure BD could win, that wasn't what I argued against, but the vast majority of voters don't care for it either.

I was actually somewhat hyped for Ni no Kuni (at least for the Ghibli connection) and dropped it after about 10 hours... it was just really, really bland. It surprises me enough people remembered it to nom it for the contest to be honest.

Bastion (and especially the developer's follow up, Transistor) I quite enjoyed though. Good to see it holding up.

DQXi obviously squashes the rest of this division. It got a highly publicized Switch port, a place in Smash Bros, and a fairly well-known franchise name. That's more than enough.

Oh yeah, Cold Steel would be more popular than Sky. For one thing, it's easily accessible on modern consoles, unlike Sky. Plus, Cold Steel III is about to get ported to Switch, which is the magic formula for anything!

(it would still be weak though, just not this weak)

Well since about S6 or 7 of the series, TWD's fandom has been on a steep decline. Game's awesome though.

We have two more conceivably debatable matches tomorrow with Vs/Fallout and Horizon/Fortnite. Is anyone else growing less confident already?!
