Division 6 Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Squall, and Yoshi

CATS - 19397 [15.25%]
Nathan Drake - 8730 [6.87%]
Squall - 57296 [45.06%]
Yoshi - 41736 [32.82%]
Total Votes - 127159

And thus began the second year in a row of Squall taking a bunch of steroids and HGH. I don't know what it is with Squall, but he always brings the smoke with these multi-way formats. In 2007, 2008, and 2013 he went totally berserk for no discernable reason. Everyone knew the match would be Squall > Yoshi, but very few people thought it would be such a ridiculous blowout. Remember, this was a BrawlFEAR world and we had just seen a series of very good Yoshi results. If you look at those 2003 through 2007 results, Yoshi was mentioned in the same breath as Nintendo's second tier, with characters like Bowser, Zelda, Luigi, and various Pokemon.

The Oracle folks are the smartest people out there for contests, and you can see the numbers off to the right. They picked Squall 40, Yoshi 36, and they are rarely off this much. In fact, this was an ass whipping so severe that it harkened people back to a similar match Squall had all the way back in 2003.

The only reason this match here in 2008 isn't mentioned along with that <i>epic</i> 2003 beating is because no one actually expected Squall to lose here. We just didn't realize it would be this much of a blowout, especially with BrawlFEAR involved. But if Yoshi was the heavy favorite and this was 1v1, this would definitely be a contest lore type of match.

Speaking of contest lore, CATS won the board vote like he usually does, but then the unthinkable happened. He managed to not get last place! Yes friends, for the first time ever, CATS managed to place in a contest match. I know he didn't advance, but who cares? He finally managed to find someone more pathetic than even him. This match is hysterical to look back on in 2020, because even after 4 games of that series I doubt Drake would beat CATS in a 1v1. He only had the original game for this match, which is why he was dogmeat in the first place, but the spoiler version is that Drake's company would end up <b>loathed</b> by gamers. We're talking Activision-Blizzard, EA, and Ubisoft levels of hatred here. Naughty Dog with their SJW idiocy and shady practices has them on the level of the worst companies in all of gaming, which in the long run means these results from 2008 would probably hold up now.

Get woke, go broke. Losing to CATS was only the beginning.
