Semifinals

Zelda Breath Of The Wild VS Super Smash Bros Ultimate

Zelda Breath Of The Wild won with 67.76% of the total votes. Correct Prediction Percentage was 48.81%

Do I need to say anything here? BOTW against a Nintendo non Zelda game. Hierarchy to the maximum here. BOTW would win with at least a doubling everyone predicted and yeah it makes sense. I mean what else could happen here? Even though Ultimate is the 2nd strongest Smash game(at least I think so)it stood no chance here. I mean it couldn't even avoid a doubling here. Damn it man. I know BOTW is really good but seriously we are talking about Ultimate the best selling fighthing game of all time plus everyone likes it. But well Hierarchy once again.

So for the match. Well BOTW won with above a doubling. In a semifinal match. At least Smash barely did better than ME 2 against BOTW so that is something I guess. So yeah. What else to say? I guess only really weak Zelda games don't stand to hierarchy but then again I guess this is the same with all series. They all have weak games once in a while. The only good thing I can say is that BOTW will not be the most dominant winner ever since in Years contest 1998 won the final match with the doubling but that can't be done here. So there you go. Oh and if you don't know what Hierarchy is, here it goes:Zelda>Smash>Mario>Xenoblade>Fire Emblem. So that is.

Quarterfinals

The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt VS Persona 5

The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt won with 56.53% of the total votes. Correct Prediction Percentage was 39.23%

So this match was pretty much set on stone. There was a small chance that Persona 5 could do it because of a rally or because out of the 4 games we had in the semifinals 3 were WRPG's so Persona 5 was sticking out like a sore thumb. Alas it wasn't meant to be.

So for the match. Witcher 3 had really no problems beating Persona 5 easily. In the 5 minute mark it was winning with around 51.3 and kept rising the whole match which is impressive. So yeah Witcher 3 dominated and it is not like Persona 5 is a slouch either. Still Persona series really did damn well in this contest. So yeah the series will keep rising. But man imagine when Witcher 4 comes out. They hyping will be out of this world. So yeah strong performance from Witcher 3 and it seems it is a lock for the finals. The game is damn popular and still reigns supreme in how a game should be made even though 5 years have passed after it has come out!

Dark Souls VS The Elder Scrolls 5 Skyrim

The Elder Scrolls 5 Skyrim won with 52.68% of the total votes. Correct Prediction Percentage was 35.31%

Now this match was strange. The whole Crew went with Skyrim too but everyone said that Dark Souls could do it too. We all though that too. Skyrim was the favorite but Dark Souls winning would be not suprising too. I mean we all understand that Skyrim has gotten weaker and it makes sense because it is a 9 years old game and we still
don't even have anything new Elder Scrolls after all this time! Come on! And Dark Souls is the game that created the get good meme AND the souls like term so 2 of the big gaming things at once! Damn! Also Skyrim is THE open world game. Sure Witcher 3 might look more impressive BUT Skyrim doesn't have a main protagonist so you can really roleplay there. Plus man there have to be like 500.000 mods for that game and the game is constantly in Top 10 played games in Steam and is in Top 3 in this site all these 9 years. Plus I think it is every console ever made? So yeah Skyrim is still really damn popular.

So for the match. Suprise the match was really close! In fact in the first 30 minutes we even had Dark Souls winning by a bit too! Both games were around 49.5-50.5 for the first 3 hours with Skyrim barelly winning. So yeah we had a match. BUT after the first 3 hours Skyrim just took off and never looked back. Sure we had a few cuts here and there but at the end Dark Souls couldn't do it. Still I would NEVER expected that before contest for Dark Souls to be that close to Skyrim. A combination of Dark Souls having gained in power and Skyrim dropped in power. Still Skyrim did it at the end so that is all that matters. Seems Dark Souls got an arrow to the knee! See what I did there? Eh? Yeah that was stupid. But anyways seems Skyrim can't beat Witcher 3 like that but nobody really knows. Still before contest it was the favorite game to beat Witcher 3 and now is the underdog. Funny how things change. Also in this Round Witcher 3 FINALLY surpassed Skyrim in correct prediction percentage so it seems a lot of people had Dark Souls reaching the Semifinals. Crazy.

Also something strange I noticed. Up until the Semifinals Skyrim had constantly higher prediction rate than Witcher 3 in all rounds. BUT at the semifinals Witcher 3 finally surpassed Skyrim in winning predictions. So many people picked Dark Souls to reach the semifinals?

Proof that Years was so bad. Seriously a doubling in the finals and no SFF too? Damn. Also apparently Years contest is so bad that there isn't a single anallysis on Board 8 wikia, nor I can see anywhere the matches too!

---

Quarterfinals

The Legend Of Zelda Breath Of The Wild VS Mass Effect 2

The Legend Of Zelda Breath Of The Wild won with 68.33% of the total votes. Correct Prediction Percentage was 64.65%

So after BOTW barely scored 70 on DQ 11 we lowered somewhat our expectations and BOTW had an average of 65 winning percentage here. But guess what. We got fooled. In fact it barely did any worse than against DQ 11. That seems to be that DQ 11 is similar to ME 2. Also according to this DQ 11 beats even RE 2. Pretty sure nobody would have taken this before the contest. Man DQ is super legit now. I am glad for it. Hope it continues to do even better.

So for the match. Well BOTW won and it even scored above a doubling. This is one of the best dominant performances ever in a contest. I mean this game has reached the semifinal and it scored above 70 in all games and even in this one it even managed to stay close to that. Zeldafaqs, am I right? And as I said above it did better than expected. Guess we can atrribute that to ME 2 beeing weaker too which does makes sense too. The game is old, the latest game sucked and nothing else has been announced.

Quarterfinals

Super Smash Bros Ultimate VS Xenoblade Chronicles

Super Smash Bros Ultimate won with 59.61% of the total votes. Correct Prediction Percentage was 28.79%

So 2 Nintendo games here and we all know the hierarchy. XC star of the contest so far for me. Nobody expected to do that good. One of the lowest percentages winning division finalists ever too. At least for a non rally, non multi way matches. Yeah XC was beasting in this contest.

So for the match. Well obviously Smash won BUT XC did better than expected. Very few expected to go above 40 and yet it did managed to do just that. I think the future is looking good for the contests for XC because I am sure that something new has been announced for the series so it only can become stronger.

Imperial Scrolls speak the truth. They are TECHNICALLY video games. Even if there is only like 1 choice to do in one playthrough it still counts. So I guess that is.

Division 5 Final

The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt VS God Of War

The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt won with 64.48% of the total votes. Correct Prediction Percentage was 51.77%

So this match was strange. Obviously we all had Witcher 3 winning here. The Crew got around 57 on average too. And if you see, it reached almost 65. And no rally here. Damn! Nobody expected this high. So what exactly happened here? I will tell you.

So for the match. The thing that happened was SFF. Or Same Fanbase Factor as the old people like the regulars call it. What exactly is that? It is when games/characters from the same series or similar series fight each other. For example Mario and Link. They are both really strong. But when they face each other Link always trashes Mario badly. Why? Because if you like Nintendo you like both of these characters BUT you will like Link more so more chance to vote for him. Same with series. FF 7 and FF 6 are both realy good games and beloved. But when they face each other FF 7 always dominates. Why? Because if you like the FF series you will like FF 7 mostly above the rest so more chances to vote for it. Now you may say, but Safer W3 and GOW aren't the same series and don't have the same characters! True that. BUT they are similar in a sense that they are both western open world games with similar structure. So if you like western open world games you are likely to like W3 more, so more chances to vote for it. So that is what happened. I guess. Hey I am not saying that I know everything! Also amazing victory for W3 no matter the reason too.

Division 6 Final

Persona 5 VS Portal 2

Persona 5 won with 57.47% of the total votes. Correct Prediction Percentage was 29.22%

So this match. Not only we all knew that Persona 5 would win but it would win with around 57 according to average predictions. And guess with how much it won! So yeah.

So for the match. Everything as expected. Still strange to see Portal 2 reaching the Division Finals. Still the game is beloved even though the series has been abandoned by the creators. Eh. Persona series has become a beast in the last 2 years since the previous contest. Don't know why but man even P4 lost the match by like 100 votes. So yeah. I know we like JRPG's here but damn! Still nice to see another JRPG series doing really good. So nothing else to say here.

Division 7 Final

Dark Souls VS The Last Of Us

Dark Souls won with 58.3% of the total votes. Correct Prediction Percentage was 30.19%

So this match was somewhat debatable when we had our contest break BUT something crazy happened. Someone leaked gameplay videos and story videos from The Last Of Us 2 and man the Internet went crazy. Not only the story seems stupid, at least for me, but the worse thing is what the developer of TLOU did. Basically striking down videos on Youtube for people that just were discussing the spoilers. They didn't even had gameplay in their video, just some people talking around and Naughty Dog went after EVERYONE! So yeah people don't like Naughty Dog now, including me. I mean just people sitting and talking and the video is taken down? Seriously. So we all thought it would affect the match. Well...

So for the match. DS was expected to win with around 55 and it did slightly better. So yeah I don't think this leaked spoiler thingy affected much. People just like TLOU 1. When TLOU 2 comes out we will see the reactions there. As for DS damn. This game is damn strong here. I would never expected that to tell the truth. People are hardcore! So yeah all the Soulborne games are legit.

Division 8 Final

The Elder Scrolls 5 Skyrim VS Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver Version

The Elder Scrolls 5 Skyrim won with 59.82% of the total votes. Correct Prediction Percentage was 53.66%

So this match. Last chance for Skyrim to see if it is truly legit. Because it is legit, but how much? Pokemon HG/SS did really well to reach this far which I didn't really expected to tell the truth. So people had Skyrim winning with around 55. And it scored 60. So yeah. I don't know.

So for the match. I am not sure. Man things are crazy. Seriously. This results shows that Skyrim is super legit strangely enough. Yeah as Skyrim goes it becomes more legit? I don't know what is happening to tell the truth. Maybe it was just unlucky with all the previous results. Or something else? Nobody can figure it out, at least not yet. Also this prediction percentage was the 2nd highest of this round. Only 3 games had above 50 in this round, these are BOTW, Witcher 3, Skyrim. And it seems Skyrim has higher prediction that Witcher 3 which it does make sense, since before the contest it was the favorite to reach the final round.

Division 3 Final

Super Smash Bros Ultimate VS Super Mario Odyssey

Super Smash Bros Ultimate won with 55.94% of the total votes. Correct Prediction Percentage was 40.52%

Now this match was debatable and I am not sure why. Sure the Hierarchy or something. BUT here is the thing. EVERYONE likes Smash because it has something for everyone. The game is way too good. In fact even me which I never play 1st party Nintendo games(except Pokeymanz)want this game to win the whole thing. Yeah because man it really has everything for everyone! You are bound to have favorite characters there, no matter what. So even the Crew was split with Smash the slight favorite. But everyone knew that it would be a close match and it was a close one, but not as close as we expected. So why it won with an okay win then? Because as I said Smash Ultimate is way too good and even Odyssey is really good too, pretty sure for a Nintendo fan and for most fans in general if they had to play only 1 game most would pick Smash. This is what I believe at least.

So for the match. Okay Smash won and had no problems at all the whole match. The prediction percentage was okay for a division final too. Over 40 for this far is good actually and for a debatable match, at least pre contest debatable match. Still nice match. Hierarcy seems to not work against Smash! Unless it is a Zelda/Mario game from the 90's of course.

Division 4 Final

Persona 4 Golden VS Xenoblade Chronicles

Xenoblade Chronicles won with 50.21% of the total votes. Correct Prediction Percentage was 6.29%

Man this match. So okay. Since P4G BARELY won against RDR(seriously 50.8)and against GTA 5(seriously 51) and XC won easily against all its opponents we all picked XC to win here since well we knew that RDR and GTA 5 aren't that strong here on Gamefaqs. Plus both these games are JPRG's and even though the Persona name is more recognizable from what I have heard the XC franchise is doing damn well, it is getting more popular, a new remake will come soon and the fans petitioned for something to come out and it did I believe. Yeah XC seems to get more and more popular. The whole crew picked XC too.

So for the match. This match at the 5 minute mark was at 45-55 which is what we expected. But as the match kept going on, the percentage started to change. After 2 hours it was 48-52 and after 4 hours it was 49-51. So yeah we had a match. After about 19 hours the percentage was 49.5-50.5. So yeah P4G kept gaining but extremely slow. But then a rally happened. So P4G started cutting like crazy and after a while if the trends continuing that it seems that it would win with like 20 votes. Damn! But somehow XC managed to hold on and never fell above 80 votes in winning. So the highest lead was 342 and the smallest was 80 and eventually XC won with 111. But why XC hold on I am not sure. Maybe people really like this game? And the rally was on Reddit and it had some traction obviously. This mach was one of the closest wire to wire matches where the loser never lead either. If P4G had won it would have break so many records. Only a few more rallied votes and it would have done it. Still in 3 out of 4 matches, P4G won 2 of them with like 2% difference and the one it lost it lost with like 0,5% difference! Can you say clutch? I bet you can! If it had won it would have reached the final 8 and it would be the first time ever than a Vita game did so well. In fact I believe it is the first time ever than a Vita game does so good too! Damn! Also check the prediction percentage for XC. Like 6! One of the lowest ever for a divsion winner that is non rallied too! I think it has to be in Top 5, maybe even Top 3 for sure. I mean even Alucard back in 2018 which nobody expected to win the division had 8.7%. IF P4G won here though it would have the lowest prediction for a Division winner ever though since in the previous round it had 14, while XC had 16.7. So yeah. Oh and in case you wonder most of us had FE3H winning the division. Yeah we make huge mistakes too. Still these kind of matches are always nice to see and both games did really well.

Division 1 Final

The Legend Of Zelda Breath Of The Wild VS Dragon Quest 11 Echoes Of An Elusive Age

The Legend Of Zelda Breath Of The Wild won with 70.22% of the total votes. Correct Prediction Percentage was 76.59%

So finally after like 10 days of not having the contest, we have finally the contest. So okay obviously BOTW would win. I mean the game is favorite to win the whole thing and without a rally it will not lose. Maybe?

So for the match. Here is the thing. People had BOTW winning with around 75-80 but it won with 70 and that was barely too. I mean for a few hours BOTW was under 70 too. Pretty sure nobody expected that. Personally I also had BOTW to 80. Why? Because DQ games never do well in this site plus they were not popular until a while ago. I say they were not popular because now with DQ 11 the DQ series is thriving. It has characters in Smash plus this game smashed sales and even the updated version did really well. I don't know if DQ11 is the highest selling DQ game, but it is at least the 2nd best in sales. So yeah. Still this result is nice. It means that there are stronger games that can beat BOTW, just not in this contest I believe. Still BOTW the favorite but with lower percentages than we expected. Also check out the prediction percentage. Not even strong games that won in Round 1 didn't had that high percentage!

Mass Effect 2 VS Resident Evil 2

Mass Effect 2 won with 52.47% of the total votes. Correct Prediction Percentage was 20.82%

Nice match here. Before the contest ME 2 was the favorite to win the division and as the contest went on things became shaky but still ME 2 was the favorite. Even the whole Crew went with ME 2 here with around 52 win and guess what, it did just that! In the previous RE 2 match there were some rallies against RE 2 but still RE 2 managed to hold on and it did won. Still this result seems to indicate that RE 2 is almost similar in strength to Horizon Zero Dawn and pretty sure nobody before the contest started would think of that.

So for the match. Things were somewhat stable for all hours. So yeah really close match but ME 2 was never in fear of losing. Seems ME 2 is still strong even though the latest ME game sucked and the franchise is pretty much dead now. Maybe this will be the first game that manages to avoid a doubling against BOTW! Also check out the prediction percentage here. Around 20 here and almost 77 for BOTW. Yeah everyone knows that Zelda always wins. Still hope someone manages to take it down. Also I still prefer the original RE 2 for personal reasons.
