Hello Board 8. I'm Evildex. I've been a lurker on this board for years now.
I'll be posting a short analysis of each match in this topic, with an interval of time between each post, during which I hope some of you will provide your own thoughts. It should end up being similar to the topic currently being run by Leonhart4 (who is much more of a contest expert than I am.)
Let's get right into it.
Battle 1: (1) Dante vs. (16) Cuphead
Nothing to discuss here. Dante wins with 70%.
Battle 2: (8) Chloe Price vs. (9) Lightning
Lightning is weak in these things. She lost to Donkey Kong with a strong advantage from the format. She's a hated character from a hated game. Allen decided to place her against another often-hated female character. For those who don't know (and I can't blame you,) Chloe is the love interest from Life is Strange. A lot of people describe her in terms I can't repeat here. Lightning wins with 60%.
Battle 3: (5) Spyro the Dragon vs. (12) Chun-Li I can see some people picking Spyro, but based on the respective histories of the two characters, Chun-Li should take it fairly easily. She once beat Lara Croft, while Spyro's only victory is against Clementine and Reyn. Chun-Li wins with 65%
I think skylanders gives him a significant boost ---
