Pokémon in this contest is just weird. We've had four generations released in the last decade (Gens 5-8) but none of them got in this contest. Instead, we have a remake that's one of the 90's game, and one not truly released last decade (it was released in 2009 in Japan).

I thought that with its 90's graphical look it could do very well in this contest, but with Sonic Mania stinking up the joint maybe that's not really a factor. We'll see how it does.

Only issue is that so does Pokemon.

The RDR match was when Bayonetta 2 was a Wii U exclusive.

next update should give us a good idea of what to expect from Celeste/Rayman
I think we can't take exact results vs fodder to mean much.

82+ is just murder

This is the best I've felt about Nier > Pokemon. It went from "doesn't look good" to "might actually be a possibility".

Rayman impressing so far. I thought it was toast.

NieR getting 70% on Bayo 2 should be comparable to HGSS getting 85% on fodder.
Advokaiser picked Cloud in Guru and rained on my bracket.
At least I finished 20th overall!
For the record, if this holds and assuming a static Bayonetta 2, this is an extremely impressive result from Nier. Puts it about equal to Shadow of the Colossus in the 2015 stats.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
ctesjbuvf 4/10/2020 5:07:22 PM#126
Pokemon probably does good early, but then again, when is Night in the Woods anything. I want to say Bayonetta 2 kills Night and the Woods and that means Pokemon is in trouble against NieR. But I don't we can make much of any +80% matches. At that point, too many small things can influence to learn much.

Next update is important for Celeste/Rayman.

I mean, it would be nice if Pokemon could show some weakness with Night in the Woods getting some votes due to not being a 2010s game, but NieR actually looks like it might be able to put up a good fight anyway.

The result from Pokemon doesn't matter. If it got below 80% it'd be cause for concern but anything above that is another blowout you can't glean much from.

Pokémon is going to 55-45 nier and then get 55-45ed by skyrim

Pokemon has one of the strongest board votes around, so that's not much of a surprise.
Meanwhile, one thing we can all agree on.

Man I figured Celeste was one of the few strong indie games pre-contest. Now it looks like it might be weak in a bunch with multiple decent entries.

Rayman >= Celeste wouldn't have been so shocking if it was in Division 1 before we saw everything else.

Dragon Age would have floored everyone regardless of where it was placed.

So do we give Celeste the Turd of the Round? Or at least runner-up?

Who gives the Star and Turd awards nowadays? I remember it used to be another user back in the day.
