There may be other examples, but these are the two that jump out.

I am thoroughly convinced Smash Ultimate RSFFd Mario here, because you can't convince me that Mario wasn't more impressive than Smash in all three rounds leading up to this match. Tekken 7 being stronger than Mortal Kombat 11 is just goofy. Link Between Worlds being held under 40% is impressive, but Devil May Cry 5 being held under 30% is better. We all saw the same thing and agreed. Yet come match time, Smash not only wins but wins ''easily''. Something isn't right here chief, and it wouldn't be the first time something "off" happened with Mario when put up against Nintendo in a match. I wish I had a better reason than RSFF for this match, but it's the best explanation I got.

Look at every other big match this contest where one game clearly looked stronger going in. Dark Souls > Last of Us. Witcher 3 > Skyrim. Xenoblade > Fire Emblem. Even Skyrim > Pokemon. I could go on. In all of those matches, that game that looked better going in won the match. The one exception was.... this match. Right here.

Something screwey happened, and I feel like RSFF is the best explanation given how the rest of the contest lined up. Nothing else makes much sense. I know it's hard to believe, but the idea of Smash actually being the stronger one all along is even ''more'' hard to believe.
