Losers Bracket Round 2

(8) Mega Man
(1) Zero

In my hypothetical bracket, this is a rematch. I think probably the most interesting scenario here would be to have Mega Man against Dante (just for a Capcom/Capcom showdown to see how the hierarchy breaks down, although I wouldn't expect much, if any, SFF) or against Ganondorf just to see how he stacks up against the Noble Nine these days.

Although I suppose a rematch is interesting in the sense that we can actually see how much changes from seeing it rerun. The closest thing we've ever seen to this in the contest before this was the Battle Royal, and we could observe how each match changed as a character was eliminated. I'd be curious to see if a match could be reversed on a rerun. This doesn't seem like a likely place for that to happen though.

Winner: Mega Man
Odds: 95%

(5) Crono
(1) Kirby

This is also a potential rematch, although Crono/Big Boss would be fun, too. Actually, the most hilarious potential match would be Crono/Kefka just to see how much different it would be now after Crono nearly quadrupled him in 2003. I think that's probably a long shot though. This is potentially a match we could see the result flip if it was close the first time though. I do feel like at least one of these rematches is going to have a different result, and I think this one is probably the most likely, whether it's Crono winning the first and losing the second, or vice-versa. I'm still gonna stick with Crono, but my general respect for the Noble Nine will probably doom me in the end (I had an all Noble Nine final nine in CBIX lawl).

(also a friendly reminder since we haven't had much chance to see it at work lately: in a close match, expect a Chrono Trigger 'clutch' 'rally')

Winner: Crono
Odds: 50%

(6) Sonic the Hedgehog
(1) Squall Leonhart

In 2007, Squall's chance to break the Noble Nine was ruthlessly stolen from him by Sonic's announcement in Brawl midway through the contest (Seriously, go back and look at Sonic's round 1 performance before the announcement and his round 2 performance after the announcement), and this time, not even Sonic Mania and Smash Ultimate can save Sonic!

Actually, maybe they can. I'd have felt a lot better about this match in 2008 (where I successfully called Auron > Sonic), 2010, or 2013. Sonic's had good stuff in recent years, and it might be enough to hold off Squall this time.

But I'll be darned if I'm not taking Squall in a match he can legitimately win! I was flummoxed to see so few people in the Fourpack of Fun who thought Squall can win this match, too. No one thought he would've beaten Mario with Red in the match in 2013 either (and HE WOULD HAVE! Darn you Vivi, another opportunity cruelly stolen from him). This is Squall's one shining moment.

Unless Zelda's here or something, and then Sonic wins easily and what will it matter because my life will be in tatters at Squall having lost his chance forever

Winner: Squall
Odds: 44%
