Is Mario SFFing Sonic or is Sonic much, much weaker than an SFF'd DK? Sonic is getting demolished here. I wonder how well Link will do in the finals.
Rallies aren't that bad when they aren't really changing anything. It's close enough to no rallying. Like imagine if the Tom Nook rally was successful and Tony Hawk never makes his run. That would have been a disaster. Fortunately, the rally wasn't that strong. --- My bracket looked like random picks compared to his. Congrats to azuarc for winning the GotD 2020 Guru Contest! ...

Yeah, rallies are more likely to ruin things. If you need a rally to make a contest interesting then the bracket was poorly constructed (or in TheRinger's case, everyone has the same opinion)
