(5)Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic vs (4)The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker 2015

Ulti's Analysis
This match wasn't much to speak of, since we all knew Wind Waker would win. The name of the game here was prepping for the big Final Fantasy 6 vs Wind Waker match in round 3. Wind Waker was expected to get about 60% based on Game of the Decade, so getting 63% was right on cue with what was supposed to happen, if not a little better.

The comparison to Final Fantasy 6 at this point was a bit weird, since Thousand-Year Door didn't make the 2009 contest. We also had the whole thing where this contest was a massive celebration of the 1990s. It was expected to get 70% on the original Paper Mario based on 2009, then it went out and got 67% on Thousand-Year Door.

There was nothing conclusive here either way, since everything fell into the gray area. Our only real conclusion here was "Final Fantasy 6 vs Wind Waker should be really close", which is all you can really hope for when heading into a hyped match. It's not good when you get something like Chrono Trigger destroying things while FFX embarrasses itself. We all knew what would win before it happened there. With FF6/Wind Waker, there was a real question going in. That's a good thing.
