I don't give a s*** about close matches anymore ever since our votals dropped so much
wololo
Honestly kind of amazed Celeste/Rayman Legends wasn't more debated. And not just in hindsight.

"People are going to get stuck at level 3B and 3C. They are already traumatized from 3A, and those are even harder!"

"Ok then. What if the music for those levels is incredible?"

"Hmm that might just work".

Just beat 3B and I enjoyed every minute of it despite the 300+ deaths that happened along the way.

Remember that there was a user on the leaderboard called "FemalePenis"?

I want to see how TRE narrates something like “5 people fell off the leaderboard... FemalePenis did not have HG/SS advancing”.

I had made a reddit rally for Celeste yesterday. Probably got a few dozen votes, judging from the activity.

Now I just went and made one on Discord.

Why? Stop rallying for inferior games.

I'm kind of hyped up to play Celeste. Shovel Knight looks a little "eh..." compared to it, so I don't know why Shovel Knight's so strong and Celeste isn't.

I'll still play both games, though.

This match is weird. Celeste looked to take the morning vote, but then Rayman instantly took that away and now they're even.

Advo, TRE tends to say things like "one user whose name I can't say here."

Still pretty funny.

Perfect 50-50 score between Celeste and Rayman at the moment.

They are both excellent. Shovel Knight is the more casual friendly game (in terms of mass appeal, not in a gameplay sense), but Celeste has the advantage of having a very interesting and meaningful character story.

Rayman's refusal to get any sort of defence for the final few hours is gonna be his downfall.
UshiromiyaEva 4/11/2020 8:33:05 AM#421
Are we just gonna have people coming in all day not knowing what's been going on and freaking out about how "the lead changed!", lol.

Which match has the record for lead changes?

Celeste has gained in NA since morning there. That might just make the difference in the end.

That Team Fortress 2/Rock Band match i mentioned earlier has to be up there. That was such a great watch.

Team Fortress 2/Fable rather.

WAs it Fable? For some reason i had Rock Band in my head.

I would beleive either if those matchups could be wild.

shane15 4/11/2020 8:40:30 AM#427
After looking at the contest Rock Band 2 was in a match a few matches before so that's probably why i had that in my head.
Rock Band's match was also quite a close and memorable one, since it was the one where Dues Ex's fans complained their game wasn't winning by enough.
ctesjbuvf 4/11/2020 8:43:08 AM#429
It was also the classic day 2 curse where we all picked the losing game here.

Like DQ/Persona and TWD/Bastion if it counts

I’m calling it. Celeste has NA and literally nothing else.

But Celeste has been making cuts again.

My bracket has Celeste, but I'd rather have Rayman Legends win! Though I don't think it will.

Just noticed New York has Rayman winning so that might be part of the reason he's still hanging in there.

Cali has Celeste. If that keeps up, it should, as they're getting up now, but I don't really think it can be looked at very accurately that way.

It's basically just anyone's game.

Nah. Rayman is winning the day vote clearly and it's the game people have actually played.

Indies have made zero sense all contest, but one trend that's been clear is these games start off hot and taper off as the match moves on. Celeste is done.

Celeste won't be looking back after it retakes its inevitable lead.

If Celeste was done Rayman would be moving away by now. I still think Celeste has this in the bag.
Of course I say that and Celeste gets its biggest update in 12 hours.
