Side note: Outer Worlds looks better and better with each blowout BotW scores on someone else.

Three 80s in a row is a record right

Link did this in 2004!

The scary part is that I have no idea what this match could do after the board vote. BotW could go up from here.

I saw your mass effect 3 and im gonna raise you fodderised ffxv

lmaooooooo

i mean it was one of the strongest 16 seeds to begin with

as long as DQXI pushes past MH im happy. % is irrelevant

DQ franchise has come a long way.

Honestly I think Hollow Knight would be doing a little better than this despite some of its strength being Switch-related. All the franchise/brand name/whatever votes that FF15 got against it are being sucked up by BotW

Can we just call BOTW the winner of the contest now and remove it from the bracket so the finals might actually be an interesting match.

Are we sure OoT/CT/ALTTP/RBY can score this level of a stomping on FFXV? FF7/FF6 could probably with heavy SFF.

Breath of the Wild vs Chrono Trigger I would pick Breath of the Wild to win.

CT i would expect to 90-10 ffxv tbh

FFXV hasn't had a worse day since the day its DLC was cancelled.

if you think this is bad. Kh3 in this bracket would have done worse.

FFXIV: I can get 60-40ed by Mario Kart, I am the most shameful FF performance.

FFXV: Watch this.

some would say that was a great day for FFXV. Its suffering put to an end

What does BotW need on DQXI for Edith Finch > Trails?

Currently 75.81%

OMG Zelda totally annihilated FF 15. LOL

Did it just go up even further? GG everybody.

I was postin up with the frenzied F5 thinking "please go up, please go up"

AND MY BOY DID. LET'S GO HOME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

that mighty...ffxv board vote

Well at least we got our LoZ/FF match to continue this classic rivalry.

Zelda hasn't had a good board vote in like a decade! B8 turned against it a long time ago!

I can't imagine DQ11 is going to fare any better next round.

I think we can all agree DQ would destroy FFXV. I think it outs up a respectable number against BOTW. Botw has faced a respected game with some form of Sff yet and switch users love DQXIs.

11 users fell off the Top 50. TraineeShanna, DJ_Hyperfresh, Rolycoly, FearlessMango, -hotdogturtle--, Z1mZum, MrZAP17, aphorism, abdou, Dale and Electromagnetic got at least one match wrong.

2 user got a match wrong but survived. LocationUnknown and DontTakeMeSrsly scored 6 points but stay on the Top 50.

Yeah no. BotW is probably doubling Witcher/Skyrim/Dark Souls in the finals. FFXV beats ME3 to me, and that was the most impressive beatdown prior to this.

I take ME3 over FF15

I'm glad I went high on BOTW. XV struck me as a poser game whose only strength is brand recognition, even for this contest. If you put it in KH3's with Portal 2 match I think it would've done the same thing KH3 did.

Even then though, jesus f***ing christ, has 80% in round 3 ever even happened before?

Lol 82%. GG contest.

"That... is Calamity Link. Sixteen years ago, that vile entity brought the contests of GameFAQs to ruin."

Well dq8 got 18% on chrono trigger.

11 i think is stronger and botw is not chrono trigger

i would too.

honestly ive said this pre contest. BOTW and witcher 3 are by far the most dominant and popular games this generation. Obviously on Thu is site LaW applies but witcher is showing it has its own strength

witcher probably puts up 77-78% against fFxv

A big portion of DQ11's popularity is being on Switch.

FF15 isn't a poser, it's just a steaming pile of s***. I honestly don't know which of these 2 games did more damage to their respective series, BotW copying every other bulls*** open world game and getting rid of all the classic Zelda tropes like good dungeons and items, or FF15 for putting out the worst battle system to date

It took the 2004 SFF bracket, but this isn't uncharted territory for the Hylian Hammer.

Not really!

aww well that was fun, BotW is just going to put up a massive blowout instead of a comical one

DQ11 had strong GotY poll showings long before it got into Smash.

good work FFXV

Ffxv showing a bit of fight

skyrim and dark souls probably

theres no way it doubles witcher. Too many factors going into that for it to happen. One of them being witcher is just as beastly as an entity as BOTW. Games like dark souls and skyrim are nearly 10 years old and popularity has diminished.

This is huge for Zelda, if someone dont want to see Zelda winning they better start preparing to make rallies because there is no way its losing to any game without a massive rally.
