It pisses me off, especially if the game is supposed to take place in a modern setting. It's nearly impossible for me to believe that somehow, in this modern setting game, there is no such thing as zombie literature, movies, games, etc.

Usually because they aren't zombies in the first place.
Resident Evil. Surprising how many people think "wahwah RE6 has no Zombies" despite the fact that they weren't ever dead to begin with. The T-Virus was developed to infect humans to be essentially, a drone army. The way viruses work is by infecting the host to operate differently but they never kill off the host. This is the same with a computer virus or human virus. They can't kill the host because they need it the host in order to survive. How this comes back to Zombies, is that with games like Resident Evil or The Walking Dead TV show, they can't have people coming back from the grave. Viruses wouldn't be able to go through the soil and burial case resurrect a dead host. So they infect the living to operate differently (a large hunger for brains) which is why we never really had Zombies. Compared to George A Romeros 'Night of The Living Dead' which used alien type zombies which operate different to viruses. If it's not alien or infected humans then it's usually magic.....and if not magic, then through the power of Michael Jacksons dancing.
Even for some modern setting games like Left 4 Dead they do talk about zombies. The back story of Zoey is that she stayed up watching zombie horror movies. So there are those medias that do acknowledge zombies within their own universe. For others like Resident Evil or Dead Rising, they never use the word zombies, but zombie-like in traits.

I usually main Link, but he couldn't do it, so instead I wanted to think like a tournyfag, and I used Ness, and my God, he was so OP as well, he could dodge so many of their attacks, and the fact he was small, agile, and quick at punching made it so much easier.

Is event 51 the one where you fight gigabowser, ganondorf and mewtwo (I think) ?

Yep. When it came to Master and Crazy hand, I used DK and spammed up B (his recovery spin). Prety decent and large hit box area. Compared to this though....
