Three matches in a row, three victories (and two losses, as well) for Squaresoft RPGs. And convincing victories at that. Xenogears never stood a chance in this match, and I'm sure the game getting its ass handed to itself didn't bother smitelf very much. She went as far as to compare the second disc of Xenogears to a miscarriage in her own poetic fashion. The best thing about this match is that it was expected to be a blowout. The only thing this meant was to see how well Final Fantasy 7 stacked up against Ocarina of Time, because no game would come between them. Almost 90% of bracketmakers knew that Final Fantasy 7 would make the sweet sixteen, and the only other game that came this close to FF7's prediction percentage was The Legend of Zelda. Pure dominance right here, and if you weren't a believer that Ocarina of Time was already done for by this point in the contest, then you were hoping that Ocarina would put up a dominating performance against Mario 64.
whew
One of the easiest matches to look at in the entire contest =) Xenogears, Fei, and the Weltall were all creamed by the power that is Cait Sith's pinkie in this match, and the only drama here was seeing whether or not Final Fantasy 7 would get above 80% before the end of it.
