| PostContestUlti 05/23/20 12:39:29 AM #128: | Division 1 Semifinal: (1)The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild vs (5)Final Fantasy XV (1)Breath of the Wild - 22397 [80.25%] (5)Final Fantasy 15 - 5511 [19.75%] Total Votes - 27908 Prediction Percentage - 84.65% Zelda was dominant in the first two rounds, but it was done against lesser competition that this site wouldn't care about. This is the match where people realized Zelda was on the level with the shit-kicking badasses from the 1990s. Yes, I am aware the game was made in 2017. In terms of contest strength, it might as well be from 1998. We'll talk more about that in the final, but the very short of it is Breath of the Wild had ''ridiculous'' strength in this contest. There are three contest entrants in our history, and only three, that have managed to break 80% three times in a row: -Link in 2004 (beating CATS, Ganondorf, and Yoshi) -The Legend of Zelda in the series contest (beating Civilization, Mega Man X, and Metroid) -Breath of the Wild in 2020 We've had some good Zelda vs Final Fantasy duels over the years. Breath of the Wild vs Final Fantasy 15 was not one of them. The only "drama" in this match, if you can call it that, was whether or not Breath of the Wild would finish above 80%. There were a few updates, 21 of the 288 to be exact, where it was actually below 80. It did obviously manage to finish above that number and make history, which puts it on par with any character or game with 90s strength. With this one match, Breath of the Wild went from contest favorite to historically dominant badass. I know most blowouts are boring, but watching something be this dominant has a certain car crash quality to it. We're the same people that laughed all day long when Snake SFFd Tanner, after all. At this point, it wasn't whether or not Zelda would win the contest, but by how much. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
