ZeroSignal620 04/11/21 9:15:10 PM #81:	Best Game of 2018 https://www.bracketmaker.com/tmenu.cfm?1&tid=471157 Ran: January 2019 Overall top seed: Super Smash Bros Ultimate 1 seeds: Smash Ultimate, Red Dead Redemption II, Spider-Man, God of War Final Four: See above Ultimate Loser: Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass Championship: Smash Ultimate defeated God of War 23-18 After Breath of the Wild won 2017 for both the Switch and the Wii U, it would be all Switch for Nintendo reps in 2018. Needless to say, the board was all in on Super Smash Bros Ultimate and it easily netted the overall #1 seed. The other top seeds were expected as well, with Kratos, Arthur Morgan, and Spider-Man securing them with ease. For the most part, the contest was average at best with low votals and no upsets. The only 9-and-below seeds to win matches were the following... #9: Persona 3 - Dancing in Moonlight, Ni No Kuni II #10: Iconoclasts, Dissidia NT ...that's it. It wasn't until round 3 where a few significant upsets came, with #3 seed Celeste beating Dragon Quest XI and #3 seed Monster Hunter World winning against Hitman 2, both losing games were #2 seeds. The top seeds did their thing as usual. Smash Bros Ultimate had an insanely easy run, obliterating CrossCode, Persona 3: DiM, and a Jackbox Party Pack before netting 66% on Return of the Obra Dinn for the first final four slot. Red Dead II did the same to Octahedron, Ni No Kuni II, and Assassin's Creed Odyssey before winning a respectable 10-7 against Monster Hunter World. Meanwhile Spidey shut out Bendy, barely doubled Into the Breach, had a scare against Kirby Star Allies, and then completely wasted Octopath Traveler 15-3 for the next semifinal slot. Finally, God of War had easy wins over a Persona 5 dancing spinoff, Curse of the Moon and Dead Cells before barely escaping 15-13 against Celeste. The semifinals weren't that much more interesting, as Smash Ultimate scored over 66% on Red Dead Redemption II while God of War barely missed 66% on Spider-Man. It wasn't until the finals where we got our first interesting match, as Kratos finally brought Smash a fight for the ages. Some (myself included) even thought God of War was going to pull off the big upset, but Smash eventually regained the lead and held on, giving the series its second victory in tournament history. No Cinderella runs would be discussed at all in this tournament, and a lot of it was just clearly obvious at what the outcome would be. In the end, it was a tournament that happened and I could count with one hand the number of interesting matchups.
