tbh I completely forgot Journey snuck into 2015

Still, I don't see how beating up fodder helps that much at gauging what it could do to 2020 Witcher. Like, if it matches its 2015 strength does that mean it'll win?

Ask yourself this

SMO put up 70% against DMC5

What would Witcher 3 put up against DMCV

And you're probably right

60/40 does sound low. But I said anything above doubling and its looking good.
Probably 75ish best case scenario.
Smash would do similarly maybe a bit better.
Botw 80+ easy maybe 85.

Well, if Skyrim shoots a fair bit under its projection then there's some big cause for concern.

Also just checked and if Super Meat Boy wins, I could potentially be #1 (or tied for #1) on the leaderboard. Neat. Shame about Last of Us ruining my long-term prospects!

Theres no evidence to suggest 60/40 against Mario is bad.
No, but there are times we just gotta apply the smell test, and 60% on SMG2 would strike me as not nearly as powerhouse of a performance as what it's doing right now. Like... I can see Skyrim or Dark Souls matching that 60/40 on Mario. Barring BotW, I can't see a single other game in the bracket matching what it's doing against Mass Effect 3.

speaking of 5 minute X-Stats, two hours late

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – 50.00%
Mass Effect 3 – 25.22%
Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty – 19.86%
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey – 15.93%

Super Mario Galaxy 2 – 50.00%
Stardew Valley – 32.80%
Destiny – 18.91%
Return of the Obra Dinn – 12.75%

Fallout: New Vegas – 50.00%
Dark Souls III – 42.88%
Dishonored – 25.79%
The Stanley Parable – 20.60%

God of War – 50.00%
Nioh – 27.07%
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth – 23.53%
The Talos Principle – 15.08%

Based on these, Return of the Obra Dinn gets 33.71% on Destiny and 19.44% on Stardew Valley. Even in the best case scenario of Witcher 3 = Galaxy 2, it only gets 40.02% on Assassin's Creed.

dead last in the X-Stats here we come
Well apparently Journey is free right now on PS+ so I guess it's getting the Freebie Bonus

we're looking for any reason for it to lose before the finals
Actually, if GTAV manages to clutch out its division (LOL) I have a nonzero chance of winning the contest. This is putting unfair pressure on GTA because I also need a bunch of other picks to work out and if something like Skyrim chokes I'm boned regardless, but GTAV is the big make or break to stay ahead of other brackets. I put myself in a situation where I'm rooting for GTA over my favorite video game.

I can see Skyrim vs Journey being a little above 80% and we still won't feel safe because everyone expects Skyrim to be constant. It's TW3 who probably boosted like crazy.

Unless Skyrim somehow goes over 85% but I don't see it happening.

2001 had a far more larger collection of strong games compared to 98. 98 walloped it.

I mean, you CAN make the argument that you can't truly count Nintendo 100% out against a Western game, but it's essentially a 1/1000 chance.

well subjectivity aside. Purely in terms of game strength. 98 has everything handily beat

2017 was a great year for modern games.

but honestly. How would it hand with a 97 or 2001? It would be close. But lets not start putting it against 98 when BOTW would easily lose to oot and MGS/RBY would crush everything else.

and hell doesnt BOTW beat Pokemon Red and Blue? Can you say that with any confidence

Not true at all, MMX was on his way to a comeback once the traditional Mega Man morning vote wore off. If there were no rallies, he would have won comfortably, before the creepy perverts of the board (Yuri, Zen, etc) took their rally to a subreddit full of neckbeards that have never seen a real naked woman before.

Look at this chart, Tifa was winning the morning/euro vote as anyone against Mega Man will, then around 11-noon he started coming back before the trends suddenly shifted.

Also I'll take this time since we're on the topic to remind everyone what a waffling hypocrite ExTha is. During that contest he was the biggest anti-rally voice in the topic, but the second his fap material was at risk of losing, he immediately went to his fellow perverts to try and rally. Then to top it off, he had the balls to try and defend his insane position.

vote totals have been around the same for the last three days when we had rallies for all three of them, up about 1000-1500 from the first day of round 2 which had no rallies anywhere

of course vote totals naturally tend to increase over the course of a contest anyway so it could just be that

I don't need to "tell myself" anything, we have archived and documented proof directly correlating Extha and Zen's hentai posts to votal spikes. Tifa started stalling the MMX day vote with the FF subreddit rally, and when that dried up, the desparate virgins went to the only other community they could think of
