Analysis

The champion returns. Draven was heavily rallied in 2013 to win the contest. Since then, League of Legends has relatively dropped in popularity and the reddit page has banned rallies, though I imagine some people will try regardless so itll be up to the mod crew to enforce their own rules. Considering what Jak was doing to him before the rally Draven does have a chance at being the weakest character in the bracket, but I imagine his run in 2013 will at least make him recognizable to some people. Which may be helpful in this match.

Amaterasus strength has always perplexed me in these contests. While other characters from new IPs have been flopping, I feel Amaterasu will be an exception. Okami still performed well during the games contest. Regardless, unless a rally occurs she should have no issue winning this match. Though next round may be tough should she lose significant strength.

charmander6000s Bracket: Amaterasu > Draven

charmander6000s Prediction: Amateraus wins, 73.51% - 26.49%




Match LX: (4) Lara Croft vs. (13) Metal Man

Previous Contest Performance

Lara Croft - 2013
Round 1: 57.55% against Slime (32.46%) and Yuri Hyuga (10.00%)
Round 2: 28.82% against Kefka (41.93%) and Altair (29.26%)

Metal Man - N/A

Analysis

How strong will a random boss in Mega Man be? Not very, I imagine. Together the series can make Mega Man into a noble nine character, but separately the games have been shown to be quite weak. Metal Man is a great example of the difference of strength a character can have if the game/series they are from was listed. If a significant portion of voters can recognize that hes a Mega Man boss there is a chance that he may not be terrible fodder.

Lara Croft has had a bit of a revival since we last saw her, though I dont feel that will translate in much of a boost. Still, she should have no issue in winning this match. Given that Kefka has shown to retain his strength, if the same was to apply for Lara we may have an interesting match next round. Too bad we wont get much information from this match.

charmander6000s Bracket: Lara Croft > Metal Man

charmander6000s Prediction: Lara Croft wins, 69.31% - 30.69%
