I think the quote was actually "Shin Megami Tensei" means "yoblazer33 getting fucked in the ass," but I digress.
I'm putting this correction on the wiki on general principle because it's hilarious!

Division 4 Quarterfinal: (3)Xenoblade Chronicles vs (6)Overwatch

(3)Xenoblade Chronicles - 20023 [73.32%]
(6)Overwatch - 7287 [26.68%]
Total Votes - 27310
Prediction Percentage - 38.68%

Xenoblade Chronicles taking out the trash. Not only that, but it looked ''good'' doing it. I know Overwatch isn't a GameFAQs kind of game, nor should it frankly be anyone's kind of game given the company who made it, but Xenoblade scoring a 73-27 blowout in round 2 of a contest seemed impossible a few years ago.

Remember when Nintendo was being a bunch of jackasses and refusing to release Xenoblade Chronicles, Pandora's Tower, or The Last Story over here in America? And it took the entire gaming public just totally embarrassing these people for them to ''finally'' cave? I remember it like it was yesterday. I bought all three of those games and still own them to this very day, out of pure respect for what gamers accomplished in all this via banding together and telling a big company to piss off with their stupid decision making. For those unaware of this, read about it on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Rainfall

Almost ten years later, look at Xenoblade now. I had a lot of proud papa moments in this contest, and this was a big one. Given how well I remember gamers wanting Xenoblade to come over here, and thinking it would never happen, and then being ''so happy'' when it did finally get over here.... this was so awesome. And it got to blow out a piece of trash game from a piece of trash company on top of all that.

''And'' it was a killer performance compared to what Fire Emblem: Three Houses was doing on this very same match day. Given the total insanity brewing in Division 4, could Xenoblade actually pull the impossible and ''win a division''? Only time would tell, but this performance was an eye-opener for quite a lot of people. Xenoblade wasn't scoring these crazy blowouts against indie fodder trash. People actually care about Splatoon 2 and Overwatch.

I don't know ''why'' anyone cares about any game made by Activision-Blizzard, but they do. Thankfully, all four games that made this bracket thoroughly embarrassed themselves.
