Topic	The Show EP 1 - The Glorious Return of GotD! Breaking down the bracket w/ Leon
Ngamer64 04/01/20 1:53:36 AM #432:	You can play UT on Switch now, sure, but the game was such a 2015 phenomenon. If the Switch had been around then, and it had been ported to the console at the height of its power when everyone was curious what all the buzz was about, then the sky would be the limit. Instead GameFAQs as a whole wasn't introduced to the game until it started killing our brackets by winning matches with outside help, and by then the well was poisoned and many of us were never going to give it a real chance. Compare that to Octopath hitting the system at exactly the right time, and it's clear where the Nintendo vote was going to go (which as we've seen is a huge deal in 2020). But getting back to these results... holy smokes! This is the craziest night of the season so far IMO. * I'd forgotten how good it feels to call your shot in advance and have a big upset play out just the way you'd predicted. huzzah for Contest season! this one is especially nice because it'll be a three point swing for my bracket, barring something very strange happening next round. (and yes I fully realize a UT rally could develop tomorrow to steal those three points away, but that's okay, my theory didn't take outside voting into account so I'm considering it proven) * ...blowing The Show's Lock of the Night, however, doesn't feel quite so great. boooo for Contest season! losing a tight one would be one thing but I'm actually stunned at the percentage DMC is putting up here, considering what's happening in the match below it * OMG Odyssey! I was one of only a few people to pick it as the biggest threat to BotW in my pre-GotD poll 8 months ago, and now I wish I'd stuck to my guns. because sure, we're all Boomer Gamers who haven't touched non-Smash fighting games since the 90s, but still, this is Mortal Kombat- there's a limit to how weak I could ever see that series being. maybe Mario's overperforming a little off that great match pic or being the comfortable option no one dislikes (Pac-Man Factor) out of 8 options, but I'm putting my money on it being an actual beast when not held back by BotW; look out Ultimate, you're going to get tested after all! --- Advo bested even The Show hosts in 2018, yowza! board8.wikia.com \| thengamer.com/xstats <cite>Ngamer64 posted [p:936575316] in The Show E...
