(3)Super Smash Bros. for Wii U vs (2)Final Fantasy VII 2015

Ulti's Analysis
This was our first uninteresting match of round 3, which bummed me out a little. I love Final Fantasy 7 and wanted it to win, don't get me wrong, but Smash U deserves more love. It's unfortunately anchored down by two major problems in these polls -- the Wii U sucks and its name.

Seriously, does any video game have a more unappealing name than "Super Smash Bros. for Wii U"? If we had "Super Smash Bros. for Gamecube" instead of Melee, I really wonder if this series would have ever gotten off the ground. It sucks, because I'm positive Smash U has a ceiling because of it and it should be much stronger as a game. Second best game in that series (but it's very close), and now it's getting Bayonetta on top of Cloud recently debuting. I can't think of a single game that does DLC better, and I'm more than happy to buy it all.

Not that it made this match remotely interesting, but hey. It was fun watching Smash U copy Melee's trend of collapsing after the first hour, and Allen missed a golden opportunity to give us a Cloud vs Cloud match picture here. It's not like it would have mattered for the match at all.

This also cemented that FF6 was not going to upset FF7, even with that poll everyone brings up. FF6 struggled with garbage, while FF7 annihilated a popular Smash title. Pretty easy trends to pick up on there.
