(+) Yeah! (+)

I suppose Skyrim has the first brackets and Witcher the second ones.

And I don't know if people beyond the first hundred or so have a realistic shot at making it to the leaderborard anyway.

---

oh boy

---

Skyrim gets closer!
---

yeah we got a match

---

Come on Skyrim, put in an arrow in Jerry's knee!

---

OK Skyrim!!

I honestly wouldn't be stunned if Skyrim won anyway just because we're old.

The tried and true standard.

---

Huh, Skyrim not being rekt so far.

---

Skyrim is closer to 1998 and Witcher isn't from 2017 so Skyrim wins
---

LamarJackson posted...

I think Skyrim is gonna overperform here

---

davidponte posted...

Time for this to end up being a surprise close match only for it to not matter anyway

hmm

---

Eep

Well I hope Witcher wins because it would out me on the leaderboard and top ten in the guru and those would be firsts for me. Heres to a good match.

70% Witcher update incoming?

Oh man those are dangerous.

---

so...what does BotW need on Skyrim = Witcher 3 for Journey = FFXV?

---

1 user on the Top 50 fell off. They picked against BotW but it didn't pay off.

3 users fell off the Second Chance Top 50. Whiskey_Nick, polkamon26 and Moonroof had a strong showing up to now but they started to fall off.
---

If Skyrim keeps doing well, Dark Souls has proven to be hella legit, and I'm inclined to say that The Last of Us 1 really wasn't damaged at all by the TLOU2 leaks and Naughty Dog's horrible handling of them.

Oh, and Mario Kart 8 be looking really nice too.

---

I said from day one W3 vs Skyrim was a tossup, and not a guaranteed W3 victory. I have Skyrim in my first chance bracket, and W3 in my second chance bracket. Both are fantastic games, far superior to BOTW, in my humble opinion. Not sure which one to root for, either in terms of personal preference or which will maximize my odds of winning a prize

---

This gon be good.

Skyrim winning after all that would be amazing.

---

Mario Kart 8 redeeming itself?

If only Nick reigned in the crazy a little bit he might've won the second chance

wait until Poland wakes up

Both are great games, but I'm far more nostalgic for Skyrim and I've put nearly 1000 hours into it over the last decade with all the modding and stuff. It pretty much defines the 2010 decade for me.

As of right now MK8 > Galaxy 2, or at least equal. What the fuck.

hey there were lots of us pushing back on using mk8 as a comparison base, not our fault if you insisted on it

---

ah, there it is

It is possible SSBU is the strongest SSB game we have now,...yet LoZ:BotW is beating SSBU worse than SSBM could beat LoZ:WW. This is the biggest beating LoZ has given SSB within the same generation since the Nintendo 64.

Bravo. Also, very scary strength.

I absolutely love how Majora's managed to come in second even with OoT in the poll. Anyone who thinks BotW beats Majora is on drugs, and I really hope we get that as the bonus round

never forget that Galaxy 2 lost to Mass Effect 1

it's not some unbeatable bastion of strength

Agreed. Skyrim mod community is amazing!!

---

this is still following the Persona 5 match almost exactly in %

its very possible Witcher will just run away with this after the first hour

but Skyrim is holding up much better than i thought.

I put way too much respect on Galaxy apparently, but that's my bias for it showing I guess.

it came third. Also the most impressive game on that poll is Goldeneye.

majora BOTW is a must though. I agree

toss a coin to your Witcher

finally a good update for Witcher 3
---

ah well, at least Skyrim made it interesting for a few updates

---

Strange that this is so close. Pre contest I figured this was a toss up, but Witcher has been consistently impressive, and Skyrim consistantly disappointing. Wonder if this is some weird respect voting, given how much of an influence Skyrim and TES is for the Witcher series

O valley of plenty


---

Looks like we're getting 55/45 anyway

---

Honestly I still think one of these games is gonna bust out a big update

I highly doubt it stays this close and may someone quote this if i'm wrong

---

Yeah, the one takeaway is that Skyrim is making the talk of it getting Western SFFed look ridiculous.

I doubt it. This might get to 53%, but I think 55% is out of reach.

still hilarious how much this fell

Yeah, Mortal Kombat 11 is totally having a nail-biter with INSIDE.

Avoiding the fatality, but still a heavy uppercut.

---

yeah I think Witcher 3 is good
---

Yeah Witcher's rolling off with this and I can't believe it isn't going to rock the night vote. Fun contest but looks like the drama's done now.
