Master Moltar 03/29/20 1:20:45 AM #192:	Round 1 Resident Evil 2 vs. Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair Moltars Analysis 2020 GameFAQs GotY winner Resident Evil 2, nostalgia baybee. As someone that does know what Danganronpa is, I can safely say it doesnt have a chance here. It should be good enough showing if it doesnt get tripled, but it looks like BlowoutFAQs is back in full force. Between having both nostalgia and relevancy on its side, RE2 has too much going for it to not look good here. A really strong showing could give it a case to win the whole division, especially with ME2 not looking great today. Moltars Bracket: Resident Evil 2 Moltars Prediction: Resident Evil 2 79% ____________________________________________________________________________ transiences Analysis We've got four really clear matches today. Maybe someone shines or bombs, but no one but the top four seeds are going to win. I'm still processing this Mass Effect 2/RE7 result, especially when contrasted with Fallout 4 crushing VVVVVV, and wondering if maybe RE2 has what it takes after all. That's all this match can really be - a measuring stick, and Danganronpa is so "whatever" that it doesn't really matter what the result looks like here. transience's prediction: Resident Evil 2 with 81.45% ____________________________________________________________________________ Leonharts Analysis Im very interested to see what voters think of something like Resident Evil 2, which is a remake of a 90s game, so it technically didnt originate with this decade. Its a very extensive remake and was widely well received to the point that it won GOTY here, so it wasnt just some cheap cash grab. But will people hold against it that its a remake? We wont really get a chance to find out here because Danganronpa 2 should be one of the weakest games in the field. GameFAQs just doesnt care about visual novels that arent Phoenix Wright (and even then, only the first one has shown somewhat decent strength before). I expect this one to be pretty ugly. Leonharts Vote: Danganronpa 2 Leonharts Prediction: Resident Evil 2 with 77.77% ____________________________________________________________________________ Kleenexs Analysis More like Despair: Goodbye Danganronpa 2 am I right?! I probably could have left the writeup at that, but I suppose Ill throw a little more in here. I think RE2 is going to light up this division. I still havent looked at the Guru or BOP or anything yet, so I dont know if thats a hot take or not, but after how well that game did in the Game of the Year polls last year, and how highly everyone spoke of it who played it, Im expecting it to actually win this division handily. Perhaps Im getting ahead of myself. Kleenexs Prediction: Resident Evil 2 with 74.75% ____________________________________________________________________________ Guests Analysis - t_kizzle Hey Board 8, nice to see you all, its good to be back for another contest! In my initial run-through of draft Oracle predictions for this bracket, I found myself reaching up into the 70-80% range for winners much more than I expected. The first round seems full of major blowouts as the actually strong games breeze past fodder on their way to more interesting matches, and Resident Evil 2 vs Danganronpa 2 will certainly be one of those. Theres a lot of hype for RE2 on the Board after it won Game of the Year for 2019, plus the fact that its a remake of a 90s game from an established franchise. Danganronpa 2 is the sequel to a really niche visual novel originally released on the PSP. The writing is on the wall right there, theres simply no way this stays below a tripling. And Im not even sure theres anything Resident Evil could do here to allow us to accurately gauge its strength going forward, it could put up 90% on DR2 and Id still be more willing to chalk that up to the latters weakness. On a final note, I actually nominated Danganronpa 2 for the contest and am happy to see it here. The Danganronpa series might be my favorite new franchise I discovered in the 2010s and I couldnt help but throw it a nom despite knowing that it would be turbofodder. I was immediately sold when I heard the games described as Ace Attorney meets Zero Escape, and played through all 3 in quick succession. There's quite a bit of actual gameplay for a visual novel, too. If that description sounds at all appealing to you, youll probably love it, check it out! Still gonna lose pretty badly though lol. Prediction: Resident Evil 2 - 76.30% Danganronpa 2 - 23.70% ____________________________________________________________________________ Crew Consensus: Danganronpa gets executed by RE2. --- Moltar Status: hype Contest Analysis Crew Archives: http://thecrew.speedrunwiki.com/ <cite>Master Moltar posted [p:936409209] in Game of th...
