... Surely there are stronger video game cats. There have to be.

I mean there's CATS

and there is a Link the cat in Twilight Princess

(the real answer is probably Meowth...?)

Red XIII is a dog, not a cat!

Meowth sounds like an okay option, though he'd still be pretty weak I assume... or maybe not? The anime has a big effect on people.

Can only hope we get a Cat Mario/Cat Peach match pic next contest.

Red XIII is refered to as a feline on multiple occasions, he is definitely a cat and not a dog of the two.

Cait Sith works too.

Cat Mario probably stomps everything and Cat Luigi is probably second.

I don't feel like he's ever referred to as either. He feels like a lion/wolf hybrid, honestly.

This makes me realize we should get Meowth into a contest someday. He'd probably just be high fodder but I could picture him pulling off some crazy run.

I thought Amaterasu was half decent on this site so should beat Morgana comfortably. Unless i'm remembering wrong.

Competitive multiplayer games continuing to decline:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/8700-what-kind-of-multiplayer-gaming-do-you-most-enjoy

We're up to 23% of voters saying they don't like multiplayer games at all now, with co-op maintaining relative stability and competitive falling off a cliff. I suspect this is the main factor driving Melee's fall:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/8438-what-is-the-best-all-time-super-smash-bros-game

Minor shift, but all 5 Smash games lost ground to people that don't play Smash.
This is because all gaming companies now use the moronic matchmaking system from US Patent #9789406. Literally every single company worth any money is using it, which is causing millions of people to abandon multiplayer. People want actual player skill, not a bs matchmaking microtransaction patent, deciding results. But thanks to that garbage, results aren’t honest anymore so people quit. Add in all the dirt about these companies finally coming out (Blizzard especially) and you have an exodus.

The horrifying thing about that video is that it’s 5 years old. Things have gotten so much worse since all that was openly admitted.

I appreciate all the fun gaming discussion but you gents are missing The Story of the Year. Our long international nightmare has finally arrived- it's a cat world now, we're all just living in it!

2005 - Dogs win, 59.42%
2009 - Dogs win, 59.20%
2012 - Dogs win, 56.43%
2015 - Dogs win, 52.46%
2017 - Dogs win, 51.79%
2022 - Cats win, 50.67%

As votals have fallen, so too has the fate of our beloved puppies. Turns out they were the ultimate Casual Bait after all! Yesterday's upset shouldn't have come as a shock given the way results have been trending, and also how it had been five years since they last went to war, but the result still stings bitterly for all Doggie Diehards like myself.



I'm guessing cats are doing much better today than in previous polls is because of the fact that cats are low maintenance pets who can at least take care of themselves for short periods of time when you aren't around. Dogs simply get too attached to their owners to be left alone for any extended period of time. And with the aging userbase of this site comes more responsibilities like family things such as having children (and going out more often with your children), or caring for elderly relatives, which would create a conflict in being around often enough to care for a dog.

If the God of War sequel is close in strength to the first and BotW2 doesn't come out, it would be a decent bet.

Is Ragnarok considered more likely to come out than BotW2? We've seen a lot more BotW, I feel like.

If neither of those come out, it'd be between Elden Ring, Starfield, and Horizon 2 I guess? I don't think Starfield stands a chance without coming out on PS, but I guess we'll see how it does.

I'm hope too, but let's let the game come out before we so easily put it over the sequel to what was with lengths the best acclaimed game of the past decade basically everywhere.

Thankfully the question was Zelda losing with 49.99% !!

As for this decade, it's only two years old. We don't know anything yet. I mean Majora's Mask was in the same decade as Demon's Souls and Metal Gear Solid 4. That is just nuts, because you know the internet meme that goes "what you think X game looked like versus what it actually looked like"? The N64 pops up a ton in those, and it doesn't look like it was even designed by the same species as MGS4.

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LMZGpnVzpU0/maxresdefault.jpg

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5rhL96IQ9Gc/maxresdefault.jpg

That is crazy.

What's even nuttier is comparing MGS4 to what games look like now on the Series X or PS5. Like we have to be close to the peak of how good a game can actually look, right?
