Is there any big names indies from the decade that got snubbed from the contest?

I can only wonder...

How would To the Moon have fared in this contest?
It's an honor being part of Board 8's community.
Yeah I don't think it was me driving post counts down. These votals are awful and it's the weekend.

Not that I'm complaining about Leon at all! Dude's been the A+ guy for ages.

Pretty sure 2018 had very few results that would have changed if registered votes did not count double.

Phoenix/Ike, the first Pikachu/Mega Man, and the second Mario/Samus. The first two both merely flipped a close result; the last one was the only one where a character went from breaking 51% to not even winning.

Same. Hollow Knight I've at least heard of even if I've never seen it. I have no f***ing idea what Bastion is.

That applies to quite a few games in the bracket and I don't think that's happened to me in previous brackets

I gave it a nomination, but recency factor was in effect.

Goose in a character battle would be a more ideal condition for a meme/rally to take effect, though.

Well, barring a huge surge from Bastion to increase its lead, this'll be just the 17th match in which the winner led wire-to-wire* without ever reaching a four-digit lead.

If you'd checked the wiki this morning, you'd have thought it to only be the 16th, but I've been reading old match write-ups on the wiki and apparently (on both the wire-to-wire list and the generalized non-1v1 list) nobody really bothered to notice that Snake never led Cloud by more than 819 in the 2008 semis.

* "Wire-to-wire" still allowing for lead changes after the freeze but within the first hour; Bastion didn't manage to take the lead until 45 minutes in but it hasn't looked back.

Closest wire to wire matches is less significant in an era where we're lucky to get a quarter of what we used to average back in the day.

I agree 100%. That list is kind of dominated by the 2018 contest right now, and it wouldn't surprise me if this contest takes a number of spots as well.

Match pics have been good, big improvement over CBX. Let’s just hope they change in the next rounds!

Also VVVVVV looks really striking there. It probably won’t happen but I really want it to pull the upset here. Or even keep it close!
I just decided to change this sig.

Just remember a couple things. A lot of the sides of the picture are cropped out on the site, and the logo will obscure the dead center of the image. Still will look good, but a lot of the detail won't be there in practice.

On the potential for Fortnite to get a large rally going, here's the rules for the Fortnite subreddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/fortnite/wiki/rules

Looking through the rules, I came across this:

No Calls to Action

Don’t incite the community to any action or common goal against any individual, organization, or entity. We want clear and concise evidence in any case against a public figure who is being accused of an action.


That would imply that the subreddit won't allow any rally topics for this contest.

That's the wrong Fornite sub to be looking at. R/FortniteBR is the one about the BR aspect and has more than double the subs, and does NOT explicitly have a rule against calls to action.

Will Sekiro put on a good showing for the soulslike genre? If it does well, is Monster Hunter in trouble next round?
An almost identical showing to Monster Hunter against what should be a weaker game in Ni no Kuni doesn’t look so good. Of course, it’s quite possible that Sekiro is the weakest of its ilk.
Can Dragon Quest justify its 2 seed?
It’s arguable how strong Trails is, but an 80% blowout goes a long way.

Questions to answer for today:
Will Mass Effect and Fallout get anti-voted, or is the franchise backlash factor (FBF) just talk?
Can Borderlands justify its Game of the Year status, or should it be scared of Horizon next round?
How hilariously can Fortnite flop?
