Division 2

Zero vs. Primrose: Well... Damn. Shame that I really like Octopath since Prim is up against a solid B-tier combatant in round 1. It won't be impossible for her to win though since Zero hasn't had a major role in a bit, but the odds are against her for sure. Due to the surprise hit nature of Octopath she might just stand a chance. 65% Zero

Zidane vs. Knuckles: Another ouchie. Zidane could have bested a decent chunk of the division but got put up against a Sonic favorite in round 1. Just... Ow. That said I don't think it's hopeless if he can get the FF base to back him, but the Sonic fanbase is far more likely to rally for Knuckles than the FF for Zidane. 60% Knuckles

Noct vs. Master Hand: Well... FFXV wasn't the most liked by the community which is gonna hurt Noct, especially since his lead was one of the problems. But MH doesn't really HAVE character... But also has Ultimate coming out which will certainly help. I'd give this an even 50/50.

Wario vs. Monika: While Doki Doki was a surprise hit I seriously doubt enough people even know what it is to pose a threat to Wario. 80% Wario.

Yoshi vs. Shantae: Dang it! Another one I like almost certain to be knocked out in round 1! It's not impossible for Shante to win, but it will be an uphill battle. Yoshi has years of seniority and Smash backing him up while Shantae didn't really hit the limelight until recently. Unless she gets announced for Smash (unlikely) Yoshi just has so many advantages on her. That said, an upset isn't impossible... Just very unlikely. 70% Yoshi.

Velvet vs. James: I've got no real clue here. Silent Hill's more well known but Velvet's game is much more recent which aids her. I'd ultimately give this to Velvet but I'll fully admit it's because I'm a tales fan. 30% Velvet, 30% James, 40% fanboy admission.

Pikachu vs. Scorpion: While Scorps isn't a slouch Pikachu is the mascot of, arguably, the biggest game franchise around. 75% Pikachu.

Kratos vs. John: Hard to say since RD:R 2 is coming out and how they handle the brackets may put the vote after its release which will boost John so long as it's a good game (likely). If the recent GoW hadn't come out I might have given this to John; but there's just so much unknown here I tossed a coin. 100% coin toss.

Division favored: Yoshi, Pikachu, Knuckles. Yoshi vs. Pikachu will be the match to watch for certain. Whoever wins that bloodbath will likely have to face Knuckles unless Wario pulls an upset. Knucks has a fairly easy break with Zero not being too dangerous on the whole. I'm expecting Knuckles vs. Yoshi in the final with Smash pushing this firmly in Yoshi's hands.
