KamikazePotato 03/25/20 5:49:01 PM #303:	For the sake of full disclosure, I switch to Smash Ultimate > Odyssey in my bracket - it got harder to justify the Odyssey pick as time went on, and once I learned that GTA5 was apparently the upset pick on B8 I'm less worried about my bracket being cookie-cutter Still think Odyssey has a great chance at pulling it off but Smash Ultimate is going to keep getting high-profile DLC in the middle of the contest and that's a pretty good X-factor --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. <cite>KamikazePotato posted [p:936221020] in In-Depth C...

However, Golden Sun v GTA:SA was literally the day that Dark Dawn was released so not only would the "series saved!" hype be at full power... no one had time to digest Dark Dawn and be disappointed yet. >_> Ah, tell me about it. Lost Age ended on a sequel hook and we had to wait for over seven years, so we were all hungry. Then Dark Dawn had more loose ends than it did answers! Not to mention a distinct inability to backtrack to stuff you might have missed, which put it at odds with the first two games. --- Also known as Cyberchao X. <cite>TsunamiXXVIII posted [p:937109659] in In-Depth C...

I think the point is that those values are your best guess (based on a lot of work, but nevertheless), not necessarily something to be taken as gospel. Plus, CT went from losing to Mario 64 outright in 2009 to looking strong enough to beat OoT in 2015! A lot changes in 5 years! Precisely. Melee and SM64 literally both faced Undertale directly and Melee got the better percentage. --- Also known as Cyberchao X. <cite>TsunamiXXVIII posted [p:937110435] in In-Depth C...

Advokaiser 05/14/20 4:07:05 PM #333:	Thank you for my 26th spot in the Guru, with 394 total points! The matches that led to my downfall were only two: The Last of Us > Dark Souls, and Skyrim > Witcher III. For reference, if I had gotten only the latter right, I would've finished 2nd overall. Who knew that The Witcher would have such a tremendous boost from everything while GTAV wouldn't. Skyrim didn't really need to be stronger than past years; it only needed to not weaken and it would've beaten Witcher without much trouble. Pulled the trigger on many different places in the bracket as well. Division 4 was definitely going to be extremely hard to predict accurately, but I chose to believe in the Monado's power (without any solid reason to) and it payed off! People said that the Guru winner would probably need to nail how that Division would come off, and it was actually kind of true: azuarc won thanks to Xenoblade among other things. --- It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. <cite>Advokaiser posted [p:939155488] in In-Depth C...
