Rayman is the superior game. So no idea what this b**** celeste is trying to do. This ugly ass celeste.
It's been a couple of days since I've been on the right side of a debatable match, glad that I wasn't wrong again.

This does put away any thoughts that Celeste is hanging in the Hollow Knight and Cuphead tier of indies, which I expected but some people were wondering about

Either of the Unova gens would have been worthwhile to include in the bracket as well. You can tell a lot of passion went into them.
I beg to differ, not with the game having lots of bad Pokémon designs. Some of them should've never left the conceptual stage.

If Celeste were to lose I am calling it uncontested turd of Round 1

Nothing else would even come close

Don't be stupid. How is this worse than Dragon Age?

Rayman is a legit game.

Maybe you overhyped Celeste based on....absolutely nothing whatsoever.

The fact that people were predicting over 65% for Celeste.....based on what exactly? am i missing something?

ITs f***ing Celeste. A decent game with an ugly ass character.

I'm more shocked its winning. Rayman Legends was a fantastic platformer.

Rayman has done absolutely nothing notable in past contests and polls. He was fodder. It should not take much to beat him, be it the character or his games.

But even if it was...youre trying to put Rayman in the Beseria and XCOM 2 tier..which its not. Rayman would beat both games. Maybe not by much but it comfortably would.

So you're using useless contest data?

Heres what i'm using. Logic based on these games and the reception. Rayman Legends is a fantastic game, its also a game that has a high playrate on all platforms. Celeste(though not in my opinion) is also perceived as a good game

Neither game is that popular on Gamefaqs

When they have a match..its going to be 55-45 or less either way. Anyone who predicted Celeste to double it are kidding themselves.

I can see Rayman and Celeste competing well with Hollow Knight. However, I've decided through pure HaRRinstinct Cuphead leads the indie pack for now.

Most indie games start strong and decline over the match right? Is there are typical turning point?
Link isn't the only one who kicks ass.
Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Contest!
Looking at it close this division might have the wackest seeding of them all.

Bayo 2 is the 15th seed? Journey and Fate as the 8 and 9? Divinity and Hearthstone 7/10? MK8 as 13?!

The decently strong games are seeded so low and there's a cluster of trash tiers in the middle. Fate Divinity and Hearthstone could easily have been 15 and 16 seeds in other parts of the bracket, instead of RE7 as a 16...

Mario Kart 8 and Bayo 2 had to compete with their own series for nominations, so I'm not surprised they got seeded low.

For the most part, but in close matches, Bastion and Ori pretty much held serve most of the match.
Rayman is pulling 62% in the UK.
Advokaiser is the man. Congrats!

People were so quick to point out SFF in Witcher vs AC, has no one pointed out that Nier and Bayo are literally both Platinum action games?

They're on different systems but quite a few people own both the Sony and Nintendo system at any given time. Bayo is one of the best opponents Nier could have drawn in this bracket

When was Rayman ever Alive?

ITs always been a fodder series. But Legends is a respected game.

Legends is the most acclaimed game...probably ever. To me Rayman 2 on N64 is the best one still. Thats just me though.

- there's no GSC in the poll, so all this votes would go to the remakes
- the question being asked is not really applicable to the contest format. I really think the remakes will lose something against tougher competition next round

RBY didn't win that board poll so it is unlikely to be representative of Pokemon in a contest setting. It might mean that HGSS is the strongest modern Pokemon game but that's not going to be enough to beat NieR: Automata.
Link isn't the only one who kicks ass.
