(1)Final Fantasy VI vs (16)Assassin's Creed II 2015

Ulti's Analysis
Though Chrono Trigger went beastmode in the first match, this was the match where people realized that 90s era Square (and 90s games in general) were just on a whole other level in this contest. Final Fantasy 6 getting a 1 seed is impressive enough, but 77% on Assassin's Creed 2 is no joke. Even more impressive is that the percentages didn't move at all during the entire match, even though FF6 is known for having an absolute garbage-level day vote. It was one of many examples this contest of old games just beating the hell out of new games all contest long (people will cite Undertale, but that game plays like a 90's era RPG and might as well be one).

It was also bad news for people like me who picked against Square in every debatable match. It did not take long to realize that Wind Waker was not beating FF6 in a poll.

"Oops"

Yes I know the Assassin's Creed series has fallen off a cliff due to too many releases, but FF6 getting 77% on AC2 while Wind Waker only managed 61% is just bad news. That entire debate was over in all of 5 minutes. FF6 was for real this year.
