Topic	If 1997 loses this match, 1998 wins the contest.
TsunamiXXVIII 05/20/17 9:21:01 PM #14:	Link versus Cloud posted... Kuja286 posted... Not sure I see the point in any contest with OoT somehow involved anymore Everyone knows it's going to win everytime, there's no excitement about it. The only exception is ridiculous outside interference rallies for some flavor of the month game, which most people complain about and aren't happy with anyway. So it's a lose-lose. This a commonly repeated narrative on these boards, but it isn't true. While Link has dominated the character battles (taking 6 of 9 titles + rivalry rumble), OoT has only won a grand total of 1 of the 4 games contests in site history. 04: FF7 05: FF7 09: OoT 15: Undertale What we saw from the 2015 BGE results suggests there is definitely a chance for CT and/or RBY to defeat OoT in a future contest on natural strength alone, and that Melee is uniquely positioned as a game with tier 2 natural strength + has the ability to muster enough of a rally with consistent staying power to always be considered a threat as well. What are you talking about, "2005"? There was no 2005 Games Contest. Not counting this one where a bunch of franchises can claim "victory", Zelda has still won 3 out of 5 non-character contests, losing the first Games Contest to FF7 and the third to Undertale while OoT took the second, the franchise as a whole took the series contest in 2006, and Majora's Mask took Game of the Decade. I've actually been re-reading all the old match summaries on the wiki, and...it's kind of disgusting. Ulti's PCAs used to actually be something to look forward to; now it's basically one long rant about everything "wrong" with the world; I'm not surprised that he actually praised Trump in one of them since he basically is Trump in most of the recent PCAs. The constant harping on how Wind Waker ruined Nintendo is especially irritating, because while I eventually realized that I don't actually care that much about the Legend of Zelda and had only been getting all of the games up through Phantom Hourglass because Nintendo fans are "supposed" to like Zelda, I can at least tell that Wind Waker is a better game than his favorite Zelda game--as is just about every other Zelda game I've played with the possible exceptions of Minish Cap (which was just stupid) and Phantom Hourglass (because Ulti's completely right about one thing: fuck motion controls and fuck Super Mario Galaxy for making them ubiquitous--even if Galaxy 2 is the real awful one). No, seriously. In one of his older PCAs, he (in his usual egotistical way) links to his own review of Ocarina of Time, where he says that the reason it's so good is because it's Link to the Past 3D, and basically just says that it's a Link to the Past rehash. Yeah, there's one big difference, though: Ocarina of Time was a good game. Link to the Past sucks! I'm sure if Ulti saw this, he'd call me one of those "lowest denominator" people, but that's not it at all. I absolutely love the original Legend of Zelda for the NES. Great game, super challenging the way games were back then even if it's pretty short. Link to the Past is just bad; I'm pretty sure that I eventually got stuck in that game because of failing not at combat but at, essentially, platforming. The game isn't a platformer! If I wanted to fail at platforming, I'd cue up an NES Mario game. --- FC 5026-4424-6331 -- Native Vivillon type: Polar Still need Marine, Sun, Icy Snow, Monsoon, River, and Jungle <cite>TsunamiXXVIII posted [p:879496623] in If 1997 lo...
