I gave this some thought, and I decided to take New Leaf > RDR2 because of new Animal Crossing + good chance many people will still be under quarantine/social distancing at that point.

Cuphead > GTAV

I know it's pretty unlikely, but if it happens the payoff would be huge. Plus Cuphead is my GotD, so I'd be pretty mad if Cuphead pulls the upset and I didn't support it.

Bayonetta 2 to round 3. It could happen depending on if Bayonetta 2 can pick up enough votes from people who played neither game. I originally had Sonic Mania winning its division too, but switched that to Persona 5.

Nier over Pokemon I think?

I have RE2 in my bracket over ME2 right now but I'm not sure that'll stick. Kind of a fanboy pick.

RDR > P4G

I'm just having trouble respecting a re-release that really doesn't belong in this decade. And I'm counting on some weird kind of Rockstar synergy with GTA V competing in the same day. I know it's dumb but I just can't.

I would have picked P4 original without a moments hesitation and even win its division but I hate to pick a re-release or vote for one despite the re-release being the better version. Like you said, it feels like it doesnt belong in this bracket same with HGSS, which is why I picked Automata over it despite that being the upset pick.

These are some legitimately good upset picks.

Mine is Resident Evil 2 over Mass Effect 2.

I almost took Kingdom Hearts III to win its division before I chickened out and switched to having it lose round 2.

Dota 2 beating Minecraft and making round 3. Granted, I filled out the bracket really fast on day 1 and I haven't bothered making any changes since then because I simply do not care. (There's no way Dota 2 is winning.)

i have Persona 5 making the finals right now beting on an enormous boost from smash

this is based on 2 things

1) Bayonetta got a similar crazy boost as a character when she got into smash IIRC

2) Joker's situation is very similar to hers in that he has dominated the smash meta for a year or so (granted not as much as she did, but he's been the number 1 character according to most tier lists for a long time now)
