(4)World of Warcraft vs (13)Chrono Cross 2015

Ulti's Analysis
When the bracket first got released and I was filling things in, I honest to goodness penciled in Chrono Cross winning twice without thinking about it much. Unfortunately I ended up thinking about it too much and found this poll: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/4120-west-division-round-1-world-of-warcraft-vs-animal-crossing

I figured Animal Crossing getting 41% is about what Chrono Cross would do, and that even anti-votes have to have some ceiling. Somehow I thought Chrono Cross getting 33% on Majora's Mask was a bad result (mainly because Majora's Mask getting bandwagoned would inflate that result), and just massively overthought things for no reason. Too much thinking, not enough common sense, especially given the entire World of Warcraft franchise has completely buried itself beyond repair in recent years. Blizzard decided to completely trash the Warcraft lore ad infinitum in a grand scheme to give us Pandaria as a realm. Pandaria, a complete inside joke in Warcraft 3, was actually and literally given its own expansion in World of Warcraft. The Fonz has nothing on this level of jumping the shark.

When the match began, it was one of the most hilarious blowouts in contest history, and quite frankly every contest match where casuals are whining for 24 hours straight is guaranteed to be a good match. If you get a bunch of "this is why GameFAQs is made fun of" topics, even better! It happened with Golden Sun > San Andreas, it happened with Ness > CJ, it happened with Paper Mario > World of Warcraft, and it happened a lot during Chrono Cross beating the tar out of World of Warcraft.

It's always great when the casuals whine, as if they're not handed everything for free in the real world. With World of Warcraft especially, it's just great. I have never suffered a more annoying fanbase in my 30 years of gaming than World of Warcraft fans at the height of that game's popularity, and to date, the only good thing that's ever happened in World of Warcraft was the funeral raid. If you don't know about it, look it up and enjoy. The only thing that comes close to that level of entertainment is every time World of Warcraft loses a contest match.
