Given how important the Undertale run was in 2015 and how important that round 1 upset was, it was only natural for Octopath Traveler to have football-like momentum on its side. All Shovel Knight had done leading up to this match was a bunch of bad showings in Game of the Year polls, a loss to Captain Toad, and beating a game in Dragon's Dogma that no one cares about.There was also this match, and even though I was among the many burned by Undertale, I always viewed Shovel Knight as a threat because it was a shred of potential. https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/(5)Grand_Theft_Auto:_San_Andreas_vs_(12)Shovel_Knight_2015 40% on San Andreas is nothing to sneeze at, when the list of indie games I would take to match this is very short. And Shovel Knight has like tripled in sales since this day. Also, that Captain Toad match was a total farce since he was just billed as Toad the entire time, and it's close enough that having the right character name in the poll could have flipped the result. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service!
