I think people are seriously underestimating Ys VIII.
Like, I'm still confident in Sonic beating Meat Boy next round. Not that any of those 3 games are particularly strong, but Ys VIII blew under everyone's radar despite being highly critically-acclaimed. IIRC, Sonic Mania and RE7 underperformed in their respective GOTY polls, but that was 2017 being a juggernaut. I wouldn't know who to take between Sonic Mania/RE7, honestly. --- It's an honor being part of Board 8's community. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It seems that Celeste is having trouble trying to make any sort of cuts like Rayman did during the night and is just stalling at best. Rayman is getting the more impactful updates (getting more 60-70% results), and has essentially won the day vote if it prevents Celeste from making multiple cuts in a row. There's still a possible Tifa-esque rally for either game, so I won't say it's quite over yet.
Either way, I still say Celeste has not lived up to expectations, though does not get the Turd of the Round to me. Who officially awards the Star and Turd of the Round awards here? I might claim the honor myself if we have no one. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Nobody has patented Stars and Turds, so you're free to do what you want.

Canada/United States haven't changed too much in their support for Celeste. Rayman needs to hope things don't drop off too much as Europe begins to go to sleep towards the end of the match.
