If all these results hold true, Gold Star of the Day goes to Xenoblade. People actually care about Splatoon to some degree and it's getting crushed.

Yeah, but I could see some sort of Nintendo console SFF going on here.

WRPGs have generally had very terrible board votes in past contests, so Dragon Age was expected to look bad early on. But it's still close enough that it can recover from its board vote and take the lead at some point in this match.

lol wut

Splatoon is probably one of the weakest games in the bracket

On the plus side, Overwatch over Fire Emblem is looking pretty solid right about now, shame about Dragon Age

Xenoblade still going up, and Dragon Age is freefalling after the always strong WRPG board vote is fading.

If Bioware properties are tainted this much by their recent efforts, it's getting even harder to see Mass Effect 2 winning its division.

Mass Effect 3 is very lucky it got a friggin' Blizzard game.

South Park had a modicum of strength once upon a time, but people who rolled with Three Houses > Xenoblade are not going to happy with this result regardless.

(Except me, gogo Xenoblade)

I mean, Dragon Age has always been a thoroughly average series in contests.

not to excuse this performance but I'm not entirely sure this reflects poorly on ME2 quite yet

I've always felt whatever gets out of the bottom half would take down Mass Effect 2. It's very much a "what have you done for me lately" situation, and the fact that ME2 is going in there cold while the winner of the bottom half has to win two close ones gives it that little extra momentum.

Yeah, ME3 was rife for upset potential, but Starcraft 2 is the absolute one game that I could never see being able to take advantage.

So as someone who has Persona 4 > Xenoblade division finals in this division I can work with this.

Xenoblade stomps this half.

Persona skins the other half.

RPG priority in the division final.

My bracket is already doomed but let's do this...!

Hollow Knight/FF15 was already questionable the moment the comparison was made that Berseria had to get like 63% on Editch Finch for the match to be in doubt. I'm pretty sure a paper clip could double Edith Finch.

May I propose the Retro Indie Factor

Indie games that evoke visuals and gameplay encapsulating the times we grew up with (2D, platforming, bright color palettes) will generally be stronger than the indies that are more contemporary or niche. Hollow Knight, Bastion, Shovel Knight, Cuphead, and Ori have been our most impressive indie games, and they all hearken to those old SNES era platformer characteristics. vvvvvv could be an exception because it's just that weak or perhaps a little too old (it didn't catch the wave).
