the only modern FF game where speed is an issue is FFIX

The Xbox version which is based of the new PC version is faster than FFX.

I actually got 1000/1000 on FFX. Its a great game. But My god its slow.

Also FFX has this nuisance of characters taking long pauses for everything.

based on the margin of victory, Berseria > Hollow Knight

Hahah, Hollow Knight is one of the greatest metroidvania games ever made Berseria had no prayer. Hollow Knight might have struggled more a year or two ago when it was more under the radar but now it's a pretty damn popular indie title.

This coming from someone that enjoys the Tales of series...

I bet I have the dumbest: Stanley Parable over FO: New Vegas.

I dont know what I was thinking when I picked that. I guess I just remember seeing a lot of discontent for FO so maybe thought thered be some spite voting for Stanley Parable. Oh well lol.

Among those that are already confirmed to be wrong? That'd be having a Bravely Default > Ni No Kuni in R2.

But I just happened to be looking over my bracket and I found something far more embarrassing. Somehow I've got Arkham City taking down TLoU and Dark Souls.

I mean, I can kind of understand why I would've taken it over Dark Souls in my bracket, though I'd have regretted it as soon as I saw the wins by Sekiro and DMC5 and Nioh and even Bloodborne (which I actually had in my bracket). In other words, long before Arkham City's embarrassing performance yesterday. Except, that's the Round 4 matchup. What I should be doing right now is worrying about whether my TLoU > Dark Souls pick is a good one! (I still think it is.)

Undertale to round 3. VVVVVVV > Fallout 4 (I was expecting a bunch of anti-Bethesda votes for VVVVVVVV)

But I also have The Witcher 3 making the finals so that's probably gonna be the dumbest pick of all when this contest is said and done.

i apparently had Destiny winning a match. i definitely did not think it was going to win so i'm not sure how that happened. i guess that's the result of a large bracket that i don't care about, don't notice little mistakes like that.

New Vegas is kind of the great equalizer in the FO world loved by both new and old fans of the series. While it didn't score super high with critics, I think among Fallout fans it's very high up there for most of them.

i'm actually not sure how i had disco elysium over kh3

cuphead manifested more strength than i thought it would by a lot though i don't know why i had faith in xcom to begin with

i way misread terraria and bayo, i thought they'd aged well. more so terraria

my bracket is predictably in shambles. definitely needed to pick less 9 and 11 seeds. at least i don't have anything to burn me any further yet besides undertale's loss

I also have Arkham City beating The Last of Us. I wasn't crazy enough to pick it over Dark Souls. I really thought Batman would have risen in value and The Last of Us would have fallen. People really still care about The Last of Us?

OK so I missed essentially all the debated games. I missed:
- Bastion
- Octopath Traveler
- Overwatch
- Nioh
- Rocket League
- Ori and the Blu d Forest

All of those were debatable. I never gave a 2nd thought on Undertale, Dragon Age and the Binding of Isaac.

So I have remaining Bastion, Overwatch and Rocket League. About this last I really thought DragonBall would win so I can't call it dumb...

Overwatch and Bastion... I had many doubts on these two, but I always had death stranding on my bracket since day 1.

Bastion was not the case. I chose it over TWD when I first did bracket. And I was pretty sure of it, but I let myself be manipulated by board 8, so yes without a doubt that was my dumbest move yet.

berseria > hollow knight, i guess. turns out banking on a 13-seed pulling off an upset in a debatable match wasn't a great idea.

undertale > octopath traveler was a more costly pick, though, because i have undertale winning the round 2 match too.

Picked against Journey without a second thought based on its horrible past poll results without realizing how weak Fate would be.

Other than that most mistakes I've made with my bracket so far are things a lot of this board got wrong, e.g. Undertale and Donkey Kong losing.

The really dumb thing is that my gut pick was Devil May Cry over Donkey Kong because direct extrapolation from 2018 has Dante narrowly edging out Donkey Kong, but then I figured Devil May Cry has a history of choking while I didn't want to underestimate DK for the fourth contest in a row (had him losing R1 in 2013, had DKC2 losing in R2 in 2015, had DK losing in R2 in 2018).

43% on Ganondorf when Nintendo's and the Zelda series' stock is at one of the highest points in a while really isn't bad. Most of Dante's "surprise" losses are more the winner just being strong rather than Dante being weak. Maybe we like to laugh at him because lol Capcom?

Most of my mistakes weren't really dumb I feel. Shit like Bastion vs Walking Dead and Isaac vs Nioh is so fuckin obscure, DBZ > Rocket League almost happened.

So for me it's UC4 > MK8.
And I took Uncharted for 2 matches. Jeeeeeesus. MKWii almost losing to Phoenix frickin Wright in 2010 apparently didn't mean shit.
