(4)Final Fantasy X vs (13)Half-Life 2015

Ulti's Analysis
This match was never going to be a contest, and some would argue Half-Life deserved better. Personally I think Half-Life is an average game at best and is ungodly overrated by the PC crowd (http://www.gamefaqs.com/PC/43362-half-life/reviews/147215). It's just not very good, and my mind is never being changed on this. So at a gaming fan level, watching Half-Life get its ass whipped by a much better game was nice. It was never close and the percentages never really moved, so what you're seeing here is really all there was to talk about.

The bigger implication here was preparation for the Chrono Trigger match, and the seeds were definitely there right from round 1 that FFX was screwed. Chrono Trigger looked like a worldbeater against Ratchet, while according to the 2009 stats FFX underperformed by 5%. CT/FFX was frankly already decided, though there were some deniers. There was no denial after round 2, though.
