xp1337 12/22/18 10:48:38 PM #319:	While I don't think the match was obvious, I do think FFVII was rightly a pretty strong favorite. The logic of the day, again IIRC, which may have been wrongly reasoned but the results papered over it was that Link was drawing his strength from all the Zelda games and especially some highly powered ones like LttP instead of it just being all OoT. Whereas, Cloud and Seph were all FFVII so goddamn it must be a total beast. Might be the only time - outside 2002 - where Zelda was (rightly, too!) the underdog pre-contest. I know people clung to this result to justify things like Series and 2009 but the writing had been on the wall in all those cases (maybe Series gets a pass.) --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? <cite>xp1337 posted [p:914575181] in transience...
