| - In round 1, Undertale's rally spillover caused Phoenix Wright to have an early lead over Skyrim before ultimately getting buried. This led people to believe Skyrim was vulnerable in the contest and could potentially lose to Goldeneye -- this on top of some murmuring of a potential Goldeneye > Skyrim upset pre-contest. What instead happened was Skyrim having its best match of the entire contest. Goldeneye is a damn strong game, and was in a contest where the 90s were wrecking shop and laughing at new games. for Skyrim to go out there and shut it down right from minute 1 was impressive, especially on the heels of how round 1 went. It was a nice, boring 59-41 beating with the percentages not moving at all for the entire match, which is really the best thing Skyrim could have asked for. It solidified itself as a very strong game, and though it may not be on the contender level, it was obviously a very high midcarder. This was basically Skyrim's ceiling heading into this contest, so it met expectations. 59-41 may not sound too impressive, but go check the Oracle. Almost everyone undershot Skyrim. So good Skyrim for going out there, whipping some ass, and completely throwing everyone off the scent for what was about to happen in round 3. You were under better cover than the Dark Brotherhood, my friend.
