(3) Yoshi
(14) Shantae

what is Shantae and how did it get into this contest

Winner: Yoshi
Odds: 100%

(6) Velvet Crowe
(11) James Sunderland

I am flatly amazed that a Tales character not from Symphonia might actually win a contest match! I don't know that Velvet will, but I kinda like her chances here. To be honest, if this were Pyramid Head instead, I'd pick him in a heartbeat. He's been decent fodder in all of his appearances, and Silent Hill 2 has done all right considering its status as a cult horror game. I just can't imagine James Sunderland is worth anything regardless of what Inviso says. Somebody's gotta win this match though, so I say go with the higher seeded character when all else fails!

Winner: Velvet
Odds: 60%

(7) Pikachu
(10) Scorpion

Scorpion is one of those "stronger than you might think" characters. He did pretty well against Sora last time, and he did well in both of the 4-way Character Battles. That being said, unless there's a Poke Deboost or Pikachu was a complete and utter fraud, I can't see Scorpion winning this. He might have done well against Sora, but Pikachu beat him with friggin' Blue in the same match (a close runnerup to Lightning losing to DK despite Falco being in the match for most embarrassing loss of the contest).

Winner: Pikachu
Odds: 85%

(2) Kratos
(15) John Marston

It's kinda rare to see a match between two decent western characters, so I like the fact that Allen set this up, even if Kratos will probably win easily. I'd have said Marston had a chance with RDR2 coming out very soon if the new GoW hadn't been so well received because Kratos looked kinda bad in CBIX. That should've done enough to help him survive this one, but it might be one of those "closer than expected" matches.

Winner: Kratos
Odds: 80%

Division 3

(1) Sora
(16) Ryo Hazuki

Kingdom Hearts III hype vs. Shenmue 3 hype, huh. Okay then, although this is one of those rare instances where Sora will face a character from a fanbase that's been waiting for the third game longer than his has!

Winner: Sora
Odds: 100%

(8) Neptune
(9) Pokemon Trainer Red

Uranus might've had a chance here, but alas.

Winner: Red
Odds: 100%

(5) Crash Bandicoot
(12) Cecil Harvey

If Cecil loses this match, I will never stop laughing. He will truly be cursed and fated to never win, and he can take up Gordon Freeman's old moniker as CHNW. I'm all for it, personally, but I think he finally wins. That being said, Crash is better than people think, so who knows...!

Winner: Cecil
Odds: 70%

(4) Big Boss
(13) Ridley

Ridley is no longer TOO BIG, so he's no match for BIG BOSS. Seriously though, Ridley might be stronger now that he's finally in Smash, and maybe MGS is weaker in general these days, but the strength difference between the two before that was just too much for it to matter.

Winner: Big Boss
Odds: 90%

(3) Alucard
(14) Princess Peach

Honestly, if you're looking for an upset special, I think this is a good one. Alucard looked kinda bad in CBIX. He needed a miracle comeback to beat Captain Falcon in CBIX, and I don't think Falcon is that much stronger than Peach. The one thing in Alucard's favor is "who really cares about Peach," but she did get 47% on Gordon in 2010, so I think she at least keeps it close. This is gonna be one of those matches where everyone on the board is freaking out, wondering how this is so close, so I'm just warning you ahead of time that The Plan has it all under control!

Winner: Alucard
Odds: 60%
