Mario Kart 8 60.36%

Prediction Percentage 41.16%

People had such a hard time imaging Mario Kart 8 being any good that its round 1 victory against Uncharted 4 was thought almost entirely to be because Uncharted was terrible these days. Final Fantasy XIV looked very impressive in its round 1 victory and so a group of people were quite tempted by picking it to beat Mario Kart. Most people still went with Mairo Kart 8, but it didnt seem like that many felt too good about it. Well, it turns out this match was the first part of Uncharted 4s redemption and the next installment in the series of Mario Kart 8 annoying board 8 by having actual strength. Its probably not much of board 8 that had difficulties accepting it, at least its board vote seems to indicate otherwise, but it was a group of contest experts, so it was still hilarious.

For a match that made people feel uneasy, this was a huge victory, and Final Fantasy XIV was never in it. Mario Kart 8 was killing it from the moment the match began and was shooting above the doubling a while. It calmed down a lot throughout the power hour, but it still won very big for a somewhat debated match. Perhaps it didnt even boost too much since last contest but was simply considerably buried beneath SFF from Super Mario 64.

Despite failing to break 40% in a match expert gave it a chance in, Final Fantasy XIV ends up looking relatively good. It looked bad today if you had troubles thinking Mario Kart 8 could really be good, but that ended up changing. According to the x-stats XIV is the strongest Final Fantasy game in the bracket. Its close enough to be within the uncertainties, but thats crazy in itself! Its almost certainly the strongest MMORPG today, after taking a few years to be worth anything and probably using its name a bit to achieve that.
