Ahhh yes, that small, plucky, indie developer Capcom.
lol whoops!

The game did so bad it might as well have been an indie title. I will definitely fix tho.

Division 4 Round 1: (2)Fire Emblem: Three Houses vs (15)South Park: The Stick of Truth

(2)Three Houses - 16721 [66.66%]
(15)South Park - 8364 [33.34%]
Total Votes - 25085
Prediction Percentage - 80.49%

Right from the jump, it was clear that Three Houses was in a ''lot'' of trouble in this contest. Stick of Truth is very comparable to Splatoon 2, and the comparison point between Xenoblade and Fire Emblem's performances was no contest. Xenoblade looked far, far better. Some people tried to claim Stick of Truth had respectable strength for various reasons, such as big name exposure and memes, but those same arguments apply to Splatoon 2. Fact is, Fire Emblem as a whole just laid a huge egg in this contest. In a vacuum this match was a simple doubling for the expected winner. When compared to future opponents...

We'll get into this more in round 3, but here is the short version since I have to save ''some'' juice for later. On top of Fire Emblem just being the Tales series with slightly more strength -- overhyped every contest without ever winning anything of note -- Three Houses was always going to get doomed by anti-voting by weird Smash Bros fans.

I talk a lot of junk about a lot of fanbases in these writeups, but let's make one thing perfectly clear. Tourneycrab Smash players are the absolute worst fanbase on this entire planet. I would rather spend time with literally ''anyone'' else. Unfortunately, there are a ton of these people and they are very, very pissed off at Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Adding anti-votes to a series that already has a tendency to choke is a recipe for napalm death.
