Okay, I've come up with a top 10 best and worst picks. I've also come up with a top 10 most painful picks, which are picks that I really regretted and I'm not sure why I picked them in the first place or picks that came really close to working out but fell short.

I'll hit the main list tomorrow but I'll do a few honorable mentions now!

Good Picks

--Halo 3 > Super Mario Sunshine (2010) & Mass Effect > Super Mario Galaxy 2 (2015) - I combined these because they're both wins over Mario games. I took no joy over Galaxy 2 losing since it's one of my favorite games, but the writing was on the wall for it. Halo 3 > Sunshine is a pick I still take great delight in because people thought "it's friggin' MARIO" applies to the games the fanbase doesn't like...!

--Rikku > ? Block (2013) - I was out front early on this one, but it was less satisfying because the joke character fad had passed by the time we hit 2013. L-Block was an ordinary thing now, as was Missingno and Weighted Companion Cube. None of them were all that impressive here. Also props to @ZenOfThunder for sneaking a Rikku fanart pic into the match pic. I knew it was fanart the whole time but didn't say anything until afterwards since it helped my cause...!

--Tidus > Shadow (2004) - SC2K4 didn't have a lot of hotly debated matches, but this was one of the rare ones. The X-Stats projected a super tight match, and that's what we got, although it honestly wasn't all that exciting. Tidus jumped out early and Shadow was never really able to make a serious push at overtaking him. That sums up SC2K4 pretty well! Even the close matches were kinda boring!

--Crash > Wheatley (2013) - My 2013 bracket suuuuuuuucked, but this was one of the few upsets I got right! I missed out on Spyro for whatever the reason despite him having the most winnable match of all, but I was almost all in on the Playstation mascot characters doing well!

--Brawl > Melee (2010) - Brawl was the favorite, so this isn't even an upset pick, but it just felt good to get Melee out of the contest, especially by losing to Brawl. Melee fans are the worst, man.
