Round 1 Division 4 Day 7
Grand Theft Auto V 79.27%
Baba is You 20.73%

Prediction Percentage 95.06%

Considering Grand Theft Auto V was a #1 seed in Best Game Ever, it should surprise absolutely no one that it would also be that in Game of the Decade. Once again, its a recipe for disaster, because its not one of the 8 strongest games in the bracket and not close to either. Its division looked to be among the worst. Of course, thats partly because of itself being the #1 seed. Yet it was enough for a a fair share of people picking it to win the division. The far most popular opinion however was that the Nintendo game coming out of the lower half would beat it, if Persona 4 Golden or maybe even Read Dead Redemption didnt get to do the honor first. Even Cuphead had been a fun little upset worth taking for a few people before the contest. Indie games were seemingly on a new level this contest and many expected Cuphead to be the best of them. All three winning games today both looked pretty good today facing similar fodder. It appeared GTAV would be in trouble if it could not impress against Baba is You.

I think it looks pretty good all things today. Most people likely dont recall it doing well, because GTA has just about as bad a board vote as it gets. If you have that and the match isnt close, people are unlikely to come back and notice how much you rose over the course of the day. It had only 71% at the freeze. Cuphead had 74% at the freeze and was expected to be facing the better game. Even though GTAV rose to heaven from there and Cuphead dropped quite a bit, people were still hyped about the possible upset for days to come until the word that the percentages changed significantly had spread enough at least.

Baba is You ends up being near bottom of the x-stats to the surprise of not a single person. Even so, I think getting almost 80% on something when youre as disliked at GTA is pretty great. Baba is You is probably also among the hardest fodder for GTAV to look great against, simply because its as different from it as it gets. The simple design catches your eye almost immediately among these 8 games, surely more so if Cuphead wasnt next to it. Im surprised it made it in, though it was of course only barely. I played the game during the contest because of seeing it here and because of its name. Ive been nicknamed Baba in real life a few places before and I had enough coins on Nintendo Switch to get almost free, so I gave it a go. Unless you use guides in which case its obviously super easy, its probably one of the contenders for most difficult game in the bracket. This is the only one Ive played so far because of the contest, but I mention it because its a small side effect of these contests Ive always really liked. When we spontaneously try out and enjoy games because they were in the contest, that we mightve played otherwise.
