Kleenexs Analysis

Wait why is Samus a 2 seed? The seeding in the Legends bracket it weird. Anyway, last time we saw this match, Tifa got extremely close to being the first person to break the Noble Nine*, but there some weirdness with the pictures going on there, and franky, I never bought that match as being indicative of Tifas strength. Now, shes definitely good - shes impressed me this contest, and her only real losses have come at the hands of Noble Nine members. So theres no question shes legit. I just think, that given how good Nintendo has looked this year, and how average Square as looked, its a real tough sell to ask her to replicate the kind of showing she had bad in 2006. I definitely think she can come out of this match looking pretty darn good, but Id be fairly surprised if she actually pulled off the upset.

Kleenexs Prediction: Samus with 54%

Guests Analysis - MetalmindStats

I really think theres something to be said about the Legends flopping left and right, something which has made people start to doubt this match. I would guess its more than just a coincidence concerning washed-up characters. That being said, however, Samus is still gaming royalty someone whose respect and iconic status outweighs their lack of recent relevance. The very fact of Samus being a Nintendo character facing a non-Nintendo foe is also important here, which represents the inverse of the common element in the two biggest embarrassments of Legends so far.

Thats not to say that Tifa wont overperform here, because she will, just like the last two times these two fought and, for that matter, like all the times Tifa faces off against fellow female characters. It just means that you shouldnt expect another repeat of their epic 2006 duel that was probably caused in large part by ZSSs lack of recognizability plus potential obvious winner fatigue, or for that matter the current Snake/Zelda match. Instead, this looks to be more of a Sonic/Auron type of match, with what should be a close, but comfortable Samus win that will still make her look off.

Prediction: Samus Aran wins with 54.24%

Crew Consensus: Samus charges up and blasts Tifa away
