I feel like I just posted this list not too long ago, but here it is again. The "laughable blowouts" list:

The two Zelda titans put out championship-caliber performances in round 1 of this contest, but to get a laughable blowout you need the right opponent. For all we know Cave Story might have been bandwagoned in a different spot, but as-is it was simply destined to join contest legends like Tanner and Madden. It did manage to avoid being last place in the stats though, so there's that.
