Round 1 Division 2 Day 4
Fire Emblem: Awakening 62.76%
Deus Ex: Human Revolution 37.24%

Prediction Percentage 76.07%

Its no good being the only advancing game in half a division to not overperform if you were hoping to get far. Thats how Fire Emblem: Awakening had it coming out of round 1. It even did slightly worse than expected of it, just to make matters worse. Fire Emblem was the slight guru favorite to make round 3 and a few even had it going further than that. The main reason for being the popular choice next round being it straight up looked better than Bloodborne back in 2015. Not my much, but still ahead of it. Also, Resident Evil 2 had a recent slim victory against Fire Emblem: Three Houses in the Game of the Year finals. It was expected that Awakening wouldnt be too far below Three Houses, as it is the older game and has had more and better received Smash exposure to upweight that its a handheld game not quite as successful. Resident Evil 2 was expected to make the division finals, so if you thought Awakening wasnt too far away from it, there was not too much room in between for Bloodborne to be. Also, when in doubt, picking the Nintendo game and or the RPG was worked out before.

Theres no denying Awakening would go into round 2 as the underdog now. Human Revolution is surely the strongest game losing the this half of the division, but even so these just arent good numbers. Weve seen the first Deus Ex a good bunch of times. It was destroyed as expected in 2009 and 2015. In 2010 it did shock us all by beating Rock Band 2 (however weird that sentence may sounds), but still lost big time to Fallout 3. It hasnt been worth much. This isnt the same Deus Ex. The reason it was the first that got into 2015 is probably because its better. This game is from 2011, so it only made it in because the first could not. Had Fire Emblem put these numbers up on the original, it might, just might, still be considered the favorite to round 2, but not like this. Wed have to see how Three Houses did, however. If Three Houses went big, then maybe this would end up not being as bad, but the writing was on the wall already.
