It's crazy but somehow the number one talking point on a video game website in 2018 has become Pac-Man. Leon called him the ultimate fodderline pre-Contest in that everyone knows him and has decided on him so his strength hasn't changed since 2002. Yet now we're dealing with the Pac-Man Factor- everyone is being forced to vote in all four matches, resulting in a significant boost to recognizable, well known characters who can be immediately identified. (At least here in the early rounds, when they're going up against newer characters most of the site isn't familiar with.)

Sad news for my bracket: that means both of this year's dominant factors are trending against Monika. Doki Doki has done well for itself given its origins but it will still have a very low playrate, and although no one loves Wario it's not like anyone would have trouble picking him out of a police lineup either. Then he's got the Nintendo fanbase double voting and casual bracket double voting on top of that to seal the deal and put this out of reach.

Happy news for my bracket: I can't believe how passionate these Doki fans still are, even (perhaps?) a year or so after their game should have "peaked". They've made 50 new topics and something like 500 new posts on their subreddit just in the last four hours... and these aren't low effort one liners, it's all kinds of original art and edited art and weird memes and people trying to bake cookies that look like the four girls. Okay, full disclosure, SOME of it is pretty low content

I just argued with my dad for 10 minutes in a store for whether or not I could get a Monika shirt!

But shaking your head or not, you can't deny that young poster's passion!

All things considered I'm sticking with my bracket, as I think we're going to see some real fireworks tonight.
