I got 45! What I missed:

2 points: Shovel Knight - 50.36% (VS Octopath Traveler) --> Damn you Undertale!
2 points: Super Meat Boy - 35.16% (VS Sonic Mania)
1 point: Hollow Knight - 62.81% (VS Tales or Berseria)
1 point: Stardew Valley - 71.17% (VS Destiny)
1 point: Divinity: Original Sin 2 - 69.22% (VS Hearthstone)
1 point: Bastion - 52.25% (VS The Walking Dead)
1 point: Undertale - 46.71% (VS Octopath Traveler)
1 point: The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth - 43.47% (VS Nioh)
1 point: The Witness - 22.61% (VS Yakuza 0)

I feel like I did alright with indies overall, but Destiny/Hearthstone were lazy-bad picks I made and the Witness might have been by percentage the worst pick I've ever made. Tough cookies.

Accidentally voted 22 before saying the round 1 losers lol.

Actually got 42

47. Matches were I picked the incorrect game would be:

Hollow Knight > Berseria (1)
GTAV > Cuphead (3)
Rocket League > DBFZ (4)
Rayman > Celeste (5)
Binding > Nioh (6)
Borderlands 2 > Bloodstained (7)
Bastion > Walking Dead (8)
Ori > Dragon Age (9)

Getting Shovel Knight's 4-pack right (I had SK > Octopath) is definitely one of my best calls this season. I'm a little disappointed Cuphead went down how it did, though.
