## Ulti's Analysis

Squirrel asked what the closest prediction percentage to 50% was we've ever had in a contest. This right here is your answer. 50.05% is the closest for now. It's one of those weird things I actually keep track of. This was also in a semifinal match, which shows you how predictable this contest was.

Anagram asked what the biggest semifinals blowout was. It was Zelda \> Metal Gear in the series contest: <https://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/2453-tournament-semifinal-the-legend-of-zelda-vs-metal-gear>

73.74% in a non-SFF contest semifinal is a record I'm confident never gets broken, because getting to a semifinal and then being weak enough to get 26.26% in a match is insane. Our best chance was last year when Mario RPG went against Ocarina of Time, but Mario RPG got 32.62% in that match. Even here, 1998 only got 66.35%. 1994, despite only getting 33.65%, held its own against the all-time semifinal futility records. And it deserved to. Games like Final Fantasy 6, Sonic 3, Super Metroid, and Earthworm Jim don't deserve to set futility records.

And on that note, this godforsaken POS contest only had one match left in it. Good riddance.
