yeah, the amount of upsets has been crazy low. there's been 4.

for comparison's sake, character battle X had 25 upsets at this point.

Also, 3 of 4 "upsets" were 7 seed vs 10 seed matches. Those aren't even that much of an upset.

So I guess really the difficulty of the contest thus far is expecting upsets and being wrong.

To be fair, there aren't a lot of top hitters this decade (in terms of GameFAQs' tastes) so making it into a 128 game bracket wasn't too difficult.

Like what's the strongest first round loser? Xenoblade Chronicles 2? The loser of Uncharted 4/Mario Kart 8?

Thing that really sucks for me is that 3 of the matches I missed were those 7 vs 10 seeds where I actually wasn't expecting an upset, but then I also had Undertale winning 2 matches which is really going to hurt...

same.

the few upsets that DID happen i also missed so that sucks >_> at least they were just 1-point matches, though, with the exception of undertale.

I knew Undertale wouldn't have anywhere near the same strength that it had before, but I thought it would at least be able to beat Octopath. Looking back on it, idk what I was thinking taking it over Shovel Knight.
