Bit of random trivia for you. Lara Croft herself has an extensive contest history, but Tomb Raider just has this one match. This wasn't exactly the best debut, but it wasn't the worst either. We've certainly seen ''far'' worse. This was a typical, boring, predictable, ho-hum beating that Portal 2 put out here. This was certainly not the type of performance that would hint at what Portal 2 would ultimately end up doing in this contest. The main comparison here was Portal 2's performance in round 1 versus Kingdom Hearts 3 and Red Dead Redemption 2. Portal 2 was the guru favorite to win three matches, in large part because of what happened in 2015. It lost a close match to Sonic 2, which ultimately scored 22% in its loss to Pokemon. Not only did the game that beat Portal 2 get destroyed that year, but it had an inflated value due to being locked behind Undertale. I wasn't seeing what made Portal 2's being a hidden beast so obvious, and this match here against Tomb Raider wasn't exactly gangbusters, but hey, that's why I talk about what happens after the fact and you're all smart enough to see it coming better than I can :D I really would love to know how you all knew, because I don't think that Sonic 2 loss was some SFF beating. --- ...
