I would say "dud match", but this one happened at exactly the same time so it wouldn't be accurate. Either way, we've thankfully got a dud match to cool off with. Devil May Cry 5 pulled off a very cute one point upset over Tropical Freeze in round one. We call these matches "one point upsets" because everyone knows the winner has no chance in the next round when the time comes to pay the piper. Not only did DMC5 get utterly destroyed, but this was the second round in a row where Super Mario Odyssey looked better than Smash Ultimate. There was a whoooooole lot of "wish I could change my bracket" sentiment going around, from myself included, because that match looked like a done deal in Mario's favor after two rounds were in the books. I maintain there is no planet where Tekken 7 beats Mortal Kombat 11 in a contest poll on here, and 71% on Devil May Cry 5 is just more impressive than 64% on Link Between Worlds -- the irony of which is no Zelda game had ever lost that badly one on one before. There was also this poll that Team Rocket Elite was kind enough to dig up for us: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/2451-mushroom-division-final-super-mario-bros-vs-super-smash-bros https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9Uw97lOOlk In retrospect, we really should have taken holding Link Between Worlds to 36% more seriously, but at the time there was a whole lot of freaking out about Smash Ultimate's chances to beat Odyssey, when the latter was clearly an uncaged beast in this contest. --- ...
