Honestly, I definitely think so People love to compare MK11 and Tekken 7 but the latter is definitely the more beloved game. And its not like doing 64-36 on both a Zelda game and Spider-Man is a bad feat, think its more impressive than 72-28 on DMC5 and Shovel Knight --- I live on, THROUGH THIS SEASHELL!

Think SMO looked better in early matches particularly because of the GotD title.

I don't think it would. Plus it was more about Smash Ultimate's wins looking less crushing than we would have thought vs. Odyssey's looking more so. It's very much more probable that Spider-Man and Link Between Worlds are really that strong while Shovel Knight and DMC5 are really that bad.

It's too bad we don't have console GotY poll anymore. Feel like Kirby could win that one if its biggest competition is Xenoblade 3 and two Pokemon games.

I think it's worth pointing out that GotY polls of any sort are a totally different setting from contest matches and very ill-comparable as such.

Mac Arrowny posted... I mean, BotW was heavily inspired by Skyrim but that doesn't make it WesternBreath of the Wild has a very clear anime-esque art style, is a Switch exclusive, and has Link as the main character, marking it as a clear Nintendo property. Souls games are realistic dark fantasy games with significant western trappings and a majority PC fanbase. Which game do you think Dark Souls shares more of a fanbase with - Skyrim or Zelda? I didn't even think this would a contentious statement in the slightest. When the last contest was going on literally everyone making a bracket slotted them into the 'western game' category when determining potential fanbase overlap and SFF. --- It's Reyn Time. ...

Miyazaki's said he was highly inspired by Zelda with the Souls games too! As someone who love both Elden Ring and Breath of the Wild, but hates Skyrim, I think I'm an example of which fanbases have more in common. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I don't think you're remotely indicative of general fanbases as a whole. Although now that I think about it, Zelda might not be the best example either because it's so popular it crosses barriers - Breath of the Wild especially has found a lot of love among western gamers. Even then I'd say that the Soul series shares more of a fanbase with Skyrim than Zelda; the difference is just less pronounced than when compared to other Japanese-developed games. --- It's Reyn Time. ...
