Round 1 Division 6 Day 11
Super Meat Boy 68.96%
Slay the Spire 31.04%

Prediction Percentage 81.45%

Super Meat Boy received a high seed this contest because of being Advokaisers choice as the guru nomination, which put it in a easy first match with a little shot of making round 3 due to likely running into another overseeded game in round 2. Considering how Allen clearly preferred to represent as many games as possible, Advo couldve aimed to get something different into the bracket because Super Meat Boy wouldve made it regardless but getting to be in a winnable position is also nice. Im glad the guru nomination wasnt something like Super Mario Maker 2 if the series cap actually existed, so its a good choice.

Slay the Spire was expected to among the absolute weakest of games in the bracket. Its not known very well and its not the type of game we tend to like at all. Despite doubling it, Super Meat Boy didnt look all too great here. Super Meat Boy still had hopes of getting to round 3 because Sonic Mania looked quite disappointing in the adjacent match, but this wasnt a particularly good performance.

At this point, we were pretty confident that indie fear should be limited to the later half of the decade with only a few obvious exceptions like Shovel Knight, which has all the mainstream exposure it couldve hoped for. Super Meat Boy is among the earliest of them, so it was only natural it wouldnt be all too god. It didnt release in a time where many had opened their eyes to indies, so this match was in line with that theory. Not that it disappointed much, it just didnt look on par with some of the other indies we had seen in action.
