Round 4's first day was pretty good, with an in-doubt close match and a close-but-not-really close match. Day 2? Not so much, what with two godslayer blowouts from two contest titans against lesser competition. Of the eight games in round 4, MGS3 felt like the one that didn't really belong. No MGS game this decade can really be considered Game of the Decade material, whereas you could make a decent case for the other seven games.
It showed in the match, too. MGS3 spent approximately zero updates acting like a match that deserved to make it this far into a contest, while Majora's Mask's being a legit threat to win the contest started coming into form here. One wonders how Star of the Contest would have done in MGS3's place.
I know it was a day match against Zelda and this was never going to be in doubt, but MGS3 could have shown some life. This match also put to rest any chatter about whether or not an MGS game would have beaten GSC in this match had it actually taken place.
