If you're only on this board to whine about "SJWs", please redirect whatever you type on to the nearest trash can. And hop in after it.
BotW/DQ11 feels like it changes something we were expecting to happen but I'm not sure what. I still don't think BotW comes close to losing to anything without a rally, but DQ11's half of the division being legit creates some interesting comparisons with other parts of the bracket.

It's still better than the first day of the entire contest, which had 646 after 10 minutes.

I still feel like the break is influencing a lot of this. I mean, Link opened up the post-break portion of the 2018 contest with an underperformance on Ganon, and it didn't really mean much either.

Just at the moment, right away it makes me think From Software's got a legit following across the board.

Too early to tell, yada yada yada...but Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 had respectable losses and DQ11 is making Sekiro look better too. Dark Souls 1 was already looking good, so if this holds then that makes DS1's good showings look all the more supported.

It's going to come down to what people trust more this contest: JRPGs overperforming, or Indies bombing. Sadly there is easy proof for both cases.

I feel like it's the opposite. One of Persona 5's best arguments was that it was able to score 34% on BotW in the GotY polls for 2017 and BotW being exposed today weakens that look a lot.

FFXV, Halo Reach and The Outer Worlds are all just turbo fodder it seems.

Persona 5 is likely much stronger now than it was in 2017. and it also has stats extrapolated through Civ 5 that put it very close to Witcher 3. (if you assume Civ 5 is consistent)

Looks like Zelda waited an extra round to showcase its mortality.

A reactionary person might take this to mean that the good JRPGs of the decade are still monsters on this site, and that Witcher will have its hands full with Persona. A reactionary person.

Well, now it's just down to this one argument, which requires Civ 5 and AC being constant, and there are plenty of reasons to be skeptical of that assumption.

Ouch, I think I picked BotW with 76% in the 2nd chance contest. I should have assumed a much wider gap between DQXI and Halo Reach (I'm a dummy). The thing is, I think I predicted BotW to beat Witcher 3 with 64% (oops). The other match is going almost exactly as I predicted so far, though IIRC.

Does anyone have a link for the Second Chance page?

EDIT: I mean FFVX, not Halo Reach.
