Round 1 Division 2 Day 4
Resident Evil 2 83.13%
Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair 16.87%

Prediction Percentage 92.37%

Picking Resident Evil 2 to win the whole division was a cool upset pick before and during the contest. A result such as this was exactly what it needed to make it look possible. Mass Effect 2 had performed below expectations yesterday and now Resident Evil 2 scores a huge blowout, proving its strength to us. Even so, DOOM managed to exceed expectations even more in its match today, so it didnt get to be a lock to round 3 in the eyes of everyone. What a good division this was after round 1!

Danganronpa finally got a game into a contest. It has its cult fanbase, so congratulations! Theres not much to gain doing it again, however. Even if you considered Resident Evil 2 the division favorite at this point, getting blown out this badly by anything except perhaps Breath of the Wild should mean there is no point in coming back, so in a contest setting, its probably time to big welcome to the despair instead. Seeing how many blowouts were having at this point makes me consider what having four matches a day along with four votes is doing. That obviously favors a Resident Evil against a Danganronpa, so maybe it couldve cracked the 20% it should have hoped for if it was the only match? Of course, the high number of blowouts is also because of the two games per series rule.

This was the first showing of the remakes in the contest and so far it looks like its just as strong as it could be in any setting. Though at this point, there was no telling what that meant for Persona 4 Golden or Pokemon HGSS. Resident Evil 2 is by far the most different game from its original between the three. Now had it shown up worse than it looked in the GotY polls, theyd have reason to fear for themselves.
