(5)Okami vs (4)Final Fantasy IX 2015

Ulti's Analysis
I'm not actually sure why Final Fantasy 9 was such a huge favorite in this match, but those who said it would win easily were definitely right. Not that it was a massive favorite pre-contest since getting past Kingdom Hearts was no guarantee, but these two games were right next to each other in Game of the Decade's stats. Dunno what I'm missing, but hey, I got no complaints about Final Fantasy 9 winning two matches. I've already gone over why I love that game so much, so peek at the round 1 writeup if you want to see it.

For Okami, the trend continues! Nothing has ever broken 60% on Okami or Amaterasu 1v1, and if anyone brings up Rivalry Rumble they're getting kicked right in the nuts. It was somewhat in doubt early on, but Okami was able to take advantage of FF9's horrible day vote to secure getting over 40%. Had this day vote been there in round 1, Kingdom Hearts probably would have won. But it wasn't, so we saw FF9 > Okami instead.

I'm still floored by FF9 winning a day vote in round 1, but you won't get any complaints from my end. It's always a good contest when FF9 makes it to round 3.
