Division 5 Round 1: (4)Super Mario Galaxy 2 vs (13)Return of the Obra Dinn

(4)Mario Galaxy 2 - 20816 [87.25%]
(13)Obra Dinn - 3043 [12.75%]
Total Votes - 23859
Prediction Percentage - 95.45%

Can someone explain to me how in the name of all that is good Mario Galaxy 2 only got a 4 seed? The same applies to Obra Dinn, which clearly should have been a 16. This entire match was a mis-seeded bork.

The biggest blowout of an entire contest usually goes to a Nintendo entrant, and this contest was no exception. It was so weird seeing it from a 4 seed, though. There was a small portion of this match where it looked like Mario might flirt with 90%, of all numbers, but he eventually settled at "only" scoring 87. This wasn't a blowout on the same level as what Tanner, AiAi, Cave Story, or Ms. Pac-Man have had to deal with, but it was a legendary blowout nonetheless. So much so that I can update this list!

That's one of my favorite lists to keep updating in these PCAs. Watching an insane blowout is almost as fun as watching BAH GAWD IT'S A SLOBBERKNOCKER.

It still meant nothing for the looming Witcher 3 vs Galaxy 2 match, either. Some folks picked Galaxy 2 in "Nintendo always wins" crusade, which I can understand, but what Mario did to Obra Dinn here just isn't comparable to Witcher 3 aethering Assassin's Creed Odyssey. People actually know what Assassin's Creed Odyssey is.
