Round 1 Ganondorf vs. Neku Sakuraba

Moltars Analysis

first match on ganons path of destruction lets go

So weve already kind of seen this match before https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3253-division-3-round-1-frog-ganondorf-kos-mos-neku

It was ugly then and its gonna be ugly now. Neku doesnt have any reason to boost since 2013, and Ganon was already way out of his league.

Moltars Bracket: Ganondorf

Moltars Prediction: Ganondorf - 75%

transiences Analysis

TWEWY came out on Switch last week but I can't imagine it especially matters here. It's not like people play new video games here anyway (unless it's a new sequel to a hit game). The only people getting TWEWY on Switch are people who were already interested in TWEWY anyway. And half of them will probably vote for Ganon anyway. It's Neku.

I don't think Ganon is going to be amazing this year but he should be good enough to slam Neku into the ground. Maybe he won't look as good as Dante here but that won't matter because Dante folds to the wind.

transience's prediction: Ganondorf with 77.99%

Leonharts Analysis

The World Ends With You: Final Remix just came out last week, so get ready for that massive Neku boost! Well, maybe not. We already saw these two face off in 2008, and Ganondorf nearly quadrupled him. Maybe Neku is a little stronger now because hes been in Kingdom Hearts and TWEWY is somewhat in peoples consciousnesses right now, but that means, what? A tripling instead of a quadrupling? Breath of the Wilds release (even if Ganondorf is barely in it) probably negates that advantage regardless. Either way, this ones gonna be ugly.

Leonharts Vote: Neku Sakuraba

Leonharts Prediction: Ganondorf with 77.95%

Kleenexs Analysis

Ganondorf is legit, and until proven otherwise, I think he should be the favorite to make it out of this first division. He really only collapses against other Nintendo characters, which he doesnt have to worry about until the Champions bracket this time. Meanwhile, Neku 5th times a charm Sakuraba gets to lose in the first round again, after previously losing to contest heavyweights such as Laharl and Catherine. Maybe next time, Neku. I do feel obligated to mention that the Switch version of TWEWY just came out like a week ago, so maybe that makes him look a tiny bit better. Perhaps that would have been enough to push him over Catherine this time, but Ganondorf is an impossible mountain to climb.

Kleenexs Prediction: Ganondorf with 80%

Guests Analysis - tkizzle

Hey Board 8, long time no see! I think I have a minor tradition now of getting an early Guest spot and hyping up the contest a bit, and this year is as excited as Ive ever been to participate. Heres to another great contest season!

MATCH PREDICTION:

Ganondorf - 71.99%

Neku - 28.01%

Maybe some of you think Ganondorfs percentage here is a bit low, but Neku isnt exactly a nobody. Hes close, sure, but not EXACTLY a nobody. Ganon is still going to win easily and get over 70% but considering Nekus resume- star of a cult classic Square Enix game, been in Kingdom Hearts, is getting a Switch port- the tripling or even quadrupling some people are expecting seems a bit much.

I think Vivi vs. Ganondorf will be an interesting potential upset, and heres where we start to get a read on it. Its unknown how much Mario-crushing strength Mr. Black Mage can retain but theres a good bit of leeway for Vivis natural strength to fall somewhere between beats Ganondorf and beats Mario. In the first round both contestants are facing cult classic JRPG anime boys, and Yu probably isnt super-duper far ahead of Neku, so those of us who are wondering about Ganondorf vs. Vivi should be paying attention to today and tomorrows round 1 matches!

Crew Consensus: A calamity crushing for Ganon
