Round 1 Division 6 Day 11
Persona 5 78.29%
Heavy Rain 21.71%

Prediction Percentage 90.4%

Persona 5 is one of the boards favorite games. If thats wrong, then it just has the loudest fans. Board 8 was into Persona way before it was cool, and the fact that our baby has become as big as it has to the point of getting a #1 seed in anything seems to be more happiness than our minds can handle. Persona 5 was given one of the easier divisions, seemingly. Most people didnt think there was an upset chance here, but almost everyone that went for an upset in the previous division took it past here as well, although everyone in this context isnt that many people. Persona 5 had one of the simplest routes in the contest, most of us would agree.

Anything Persona 5 does that can be twisted into a good showing was taken as a good showing. Maybe Im giving the stats topic or a couple of loud users too much credit here, but its the vibe you would get from reading the board on Persona 5 match days, and Ive been defending the idea that Persona 5 is great but not fantastic in these contests a lot. That it never stood a chance of making it out of top 8, regardless of which of the top 4 it was allowed to face. Persona 5 finished second in the Game of the Year polls, winning the Playstation one and barely avoiding getting doubled by Breath of the Wild in the end in a 7-way poll. Severely SFFd Super Mario Odyssey almost avoided that too in 10-way poll with two other Mario games that got almost no votes, yet the final poll seemed to be an indicator of too great things for Persona 5. Not that any of those polls should mean that much.

Now what would Persona 5 need to keep the hype up today? In the minds of some, probably just advancing would be enough. It was 0.08% away from the general consensus in the oracle, so it did as it should almost as much as you possibly could I suppose. That should keep all hope up. Heavy Rain was never that big and its mostly a joke these days, Im afraid. Ill defend the game and say that I enjoyed it a lot, but I havent played it in 10 years, which might be good for what I think of it.
