Its hilarious that despite Yakuza 0 looking great here, we werent ready to give it any credit for this match so all but a single oracle underestimated it next match as well.

Seven Oracles overestimated Yakuza 0 in that next match, including you yourself.

That being said, I think I'd agree with LMS that the characters' 2018 results contributed heavily - specifically that 2-seed Kazuma didn't come close to beating 15-seed Bomberman, while Goro got blown out by Master Chief of all characters. Lost in all that shuffle was Kazuma actually having some okay strength by fodder standards (~32% on Kefka through Bomberman) despite having a name only Yakuza players recognized and an utterly generic design. I correctly figured that it wasn't a stretch for the series' beloved mainstream breakout game to be stronger still rather than the turbofodder most expected, and that its divisive, generically-titled indie puzzler opponent was a candidate for weakest game in the bracket.
