DR2 is....dead in round 1.

VLR in....dead in round 1.

Berseria...COULD make it out of round 1? Maybe?

Very, very sad to not see The House in Fata Morgana.

Also no Deadly Premonition, damn!

.....What the fuck is Street Fighter V doing in here? There are a couple of baffling inclusions.

I'm surprised both Xenoblade 1 and 2 made it in. 1 was obviously a shoe-in, but I figured 2 wouldn't make the cut.

ya go my splatoon 2...

Wait, against Xenoblade Chronicles in round 1? That's not even fair, this site loves that game for some reason. Splatoon 2 could probably beat half of the other games in this bracket.

P4G doesn't belong on there.

Other than that it's pretty good.

I mean it might be the best game released in the last decade so I'll allow it

You did this because of Moonroof.

Also, don't forget to show us some picsmith love!

I wouldn't give Moonroof that kind of credit. The contest is starting in two weeks.

Top half (especially Division 3) is loaded. I had Ultimate vs. ALBW as a potential semifinal, not a Ro32 match! Winner of that loses to BOTW in semis.

For the bottom half, I'm thinking Skyrim as a dark horse (or HGSS if it beats Skyrim), but I wouldn't be shocked if Galaxy 2 or something pulls a string of upsets.

Some quick thoughts:
* Pokemon HG/SS is the only Pokemon game, which is kinda sad but somewhat warranted. The series has been going downhill, though I'm still a little surprised we didn't get at least 1 of the Gen 5 or 6 games.
* A Link Between Worlds got rekt with its bracket placement. It would've been interesting to see how it held up since 2013, but it's clearly just going to lose to Ultimate in round 2.


Disappointed that HGSS was the only Pokemon game. I didn't even bother nominating HGSS and put my Pokemon nominations into BW, XY, SM, and SwSh.

I'm glad A Link Between Worlds got in because it missed the 2015 contest, so now it gets a chance to validate its strength as a past GotY winner.

Division 5 is god damn crazy. Witcher 3, Dark Souls III, God of War, and then Galaxy 2 just kind of stands out as the Nintendo choice even though it should be outclassed.

This bracket RULES. Good job everyone. Cuphead has a winnable match, South Park: The Stick of Truth made the cut, Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver is the only Pokemon title AND has a 3 seed, Mario Kart 8 snuck in... really, the only thing that keeps this from perfection is the lack of Yoshi's Woolly World.

Can't wait for this contest. Thanks Allen!

I remember saying I thought Skyward Sword might miss the bracket similar to how ALBW did it in 2015 and people were like "what are you talking about".

It's a really diverse bracket. Genuinely surprised only one Pokmon game made it in.

Cuphead has two winnable matches. GTA is the most anti-voted entity in the history of these contests.

And Cuphead is legitimately a better game than GTAV anyway.
The only reason i'm voting for GTAV over cuphead is GTA RP.

Im guessing that was an experiment in the last character battle that ended up being very repetitive and predictable
