I'd take RE2 over GTA5 and that's a 3 seed. Actually if that Claire>Joker match wasn't down to sabotage i'd take it over P5 as well.
Mario Odyssey is easily the most snubbed 2 seed in bracket, much more so than God of War.

Intentionally, of course, so that the quarter and/or semifinals weren't a Nintendo-fest, but still

Perhaps Skyrim has had some Bethesda backlash or whatever, we'll see, but it's one of the most popular and respected games of the decade for sure. don't think it has more mixed opinions than BotW.

Sonic Mania VS Super Meat Boy is next. I suspect we've been sleeping on Ys being a stronger game than expected, but I'm sticking with the tooth-missing cube of meat for the upset. SM looks super-fun and I just bought it to play soon, but I don't expect nearly enough people to play it for a game from such a classic franchise. Dark Souls gets a lot of credit for inspiring difficult games, but Super Meat Boy deserves some due on that too.

The Sonic movie might make a fool of my prediction, but until then let's go Meat Boy.

Imo Persona's path is even easier than Skyrim's.

i wouldn't say Dark Souls gets credit for inspiring "difficult" games

it gets credit for creating a ton of mechanics and gameplay structure that is followed by developers all the time. the recent star wars game for example is basically a reskinned souls game

Yeah, I'd take both Nier and HGSS over everything but Persona 5 in that division. I'd consider it with everything in division 4 too probably.

Alright I'm likely going to see my only wrong pick of the second round coming up with KH. It won't drop me any spots in the guru, so we'll see if I'm still tied for first on the site after it.

Well, I'm considering the overall strength of the entries more than what the strongest game is. Division 4 has a pretty solid average strength with a lower ceiling.
ctesjbuvf 4/16/2020 4:37:28 PM#310
That's true, was really just arguing that Skyrim did not have the easiest path out of its division.

Would expect New Leaf to have a way better power hour than RDR2, so this is probably alright.

Feeling good about Portal 2 > RDR2 if it looks like this by the end.

Right now, it's got to be New Leaf. I think having New Horizons release in the pandemic has definitely had an effect on the series.
