Current Contest Performance

Luigi

Miles Tails Prower
Defeated Nathan Drake, 56.73% - 43.27%
Defeated Master Chief, 55.49% - 44.51%

Analysis

Congratulations to Tails for reaching the third round for the first time in his long contest career. Theres no doubt this is where his contest ends. Sonic characters have looked great this contest, but Luigi is just another beast compared with Nathan Drake and Master Chief.

The main question for this match is whether or not there will be SFF. Sonic characters have had a history of collapsing against Nintendo and I dont see why this would be any different. The degree of SFF is usually not as high, but anything to make Luigi look as good as possible for his big match next round. Before SFF, Id expect Tails to get around the mid-30s against Luigi.

Analysis

Pre-contest this was one of the matches I was looking forward to. After four contests were finally going to see where Mega Man X ranks relative to the noble nine and other elite characters. There have been debates ranging from him being stronger than Mega Man to being a weaker elite character. The match is also shaping up to be interesting given that Tifa and Final Fantasy VII have looked pretty good so far.

Ive always felt that Mega Man X was pretty close to the original, at least pre-Smash 4 boost and that he has a great chance at being the strongest non-Noble Nine character, though with the way some characters are performing that might not be the case anymore. At worst, hell be at around Zeros strength which is decent, but with the way Tifa has performed that will likely not be enough to win this match.

The main reason I believe in Mega Man Xs strength was his performance against Ryu in 2013. Before the Draven rally Mega Man X was pushing 60% against Ryu, something that is only reserved for Noble Nine characters. Of course, we were still in the board vote when Dravens rally began so it is hard to tell where he would end up, but with his notorious terrible European vote it is likely Mega Man X would have ended somewhere in the mid to high 50s.

With that said, that is something Tifa could manage, especially now that she proved that she is still legit and is likely the strongest non-Noble Nine Square character. Mega Man Xs performance so far gives me no reason to doubt his strength though the match should be close regardless who wins.
