Tidus
Yuna
D.Va

That's it for now. The other blunders are looking like underestimations at the moment. Even Tidus would be to some extent probably since Donkey Kong may be that legit.

The Boss :(

A shitty damsel in distress is decisively beating one of the strongest, most badass female character in years.

Clearly Big Boss because I had underestimated him so much in the past due to pic shenanigans.

Also I had Jill and Sans making it to R3.

I overestimated Shovel Knight, thought being on DeathBattle and having a good game would boost him.

after last round i thought i had just underestimated The Boss, but with the beatdown she's taking now it was definitely an overestimation of Metal Sonic. also Master Hand, who i took to beat Wario but he didn't even come close.

then there was Sans, who i thought had a decent chance to win the whole contest. and of course D.Va, the one i actually picked to win the whole contest.

I thought Sans was going to win the whole thing, really convincingly too, like, maybe his closest contest would have been 70-30.

I also picked D.Va to win. Wasn't ever entirely convinced she'd win but she was the only one I thought had a realistic chance (the others hit tough matches too quickly which I think people didn't consider enough) of getting one and figured "if another stupid rally happens I might as well get some money for it." It was damage control. Also a form of superstition because if I pick it that means it can't happen.

But I also thought she could get closer to 40% on Fox without rallying (which factored into my rallying consideration) so I overestimated her regardless even outside the rally context, which is the main reason I listed her. If I thought Fox would blow her out this badly I would've discarded her chances as well just because I don't think a rally at 30% is likely to gain traction.

Ridley
Simon Belmont
Yuna (had her out in round 3)
Most likely Trainer Red
Pac Man (I did NOT expect Bayonetta to do anything at all on this site)
K Rool

these are all characters i have/had going too far vs reality

i had pretty much the exact same thoughts

Not many...what I got wrong were gamble rally characters like Waluigi and Monika which I knew would be trash, but I gambled for a rally
So it doesn't really count as a overestimate

Other stuff I got wrong are mostly characters that I underestimate the opponent (like Zidane Knuckles)

Those that I did overestimate for sure-
Big Boss - I thought he is near elite, I remember being very surprised by his victory over Luigi (Ness in the poll be damned) and now he looks like trash
Ren Amamiya - I thought Persona is supposed to be a big thing and a Gamefaqs kind of game

But the worst - The Yakuza guys
I didn't know Kiryu's seed was because of a board 8 rally. Yakuza became more and more popular over the years, now with a PC port and people can't stop talking about those games
So I took Kiryu>Bomberman and Majima >Chief (because who the fuck cares about Halo in 2018)

I have Simon going to the division finals. He's not getting that far with a mere 50.XX% on Hayabusa, especially with Bayonetta in the way.

Yeah it does because a rally at 35% isn't really viable with the size of Monika's fanbase imo. You really needed that match to be significantly closer.

Overestimated?

Sans, Noctis, probably Big Boss... maybe Ike; I haven't decided yet if that's an overestimation of Ike or an underestimation of Phoenix. I'll put Rosalina in there too, because I had her winning twice. Though if Geralt smashes Simon hard enough, that could still come down solely to my underestimation of Geralt.

And let's just put Chief in there too because I have absolutely no idea why my bracket has him winning again this round.

But most of my bad picks I can definitely trace to underestimation, not overestimation. For example, I had Estelle-Isaac as a DAT TOP OPTION match, but a look back at Golden Sun's history shows that that was foolish. Kiryu-Bomberman, too; I initially chose correctly, but changed because I figured that Bomberman didn't have enough fanbase to actually upset someone with enough support to get a 2-seed. I guess the apathy votes did me in, too.

Probably because he's a lot stronger than a regressed Nathan Drake

I had Garrus winning his division.

I dunno, I thought Mass Effect was super popular (it is, isn't it) and that everyone loves Garrus.

Apparently not.

I also had GlaDOS reaching division finals for the same reason. I mean come on, Portal is famous, and she's so well-known!
