I think people are just looking at two chokers in one match and their brains are short-circuiting. Tidus is struggles to win debatable matches but overall he does fine. He mostly loses to people that, realistically speaking, he should have lost to anyway. Sub-Zero was clearly the favorite in 2010 (if you paid attention to past results), and he was never supposed to be close to Missingno in the first place. Tidus is a solid midcarder who, unfortunately for him, is used as 'interesting match' fodder. DK is like...a strictly weaker version of Tidus. I don't like using 2008 results - it was TEN YEARS ago god am I old - but Tidus didn't have any trouble advancing over him. Pre-Crisis Vivi beat him with 56.5% twice, and while Pre-Crisis Vivi was stronger than Tidus, it wasn't by that much. To me, Tidus/DK is just Vivi/DK except Tidus does somewhat worse. It'll be a relatively close, but safe, win. The only thing that gives me pause is that FFX looked slightly weaker in the 2015 Games contest, but it's decline was overstated. Chrono Trigger was going to beat Melee just as badly before rallies kicked in. Before someone says that Smash Ultimate will help DK: it's Donkey Kong. You've made up your mind on him by now. He hasn't changed in strength in like 14 years. Final Score: Tidus - 53% Donkey Kong - 47% Tidus has a 75% chance of winning --- Division 2 Match 8 Leon Kennedy vs. Dragonborn https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5239-character-battle-ix-division-5-round-2-shadow-vs-leon-vs https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5203-character-battle-ix-division-7-round-1-dragonborn-vs-tom https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5245-character-battle-ix-division-7-round-2-dragonborn-vs-yuna-vs Dragonborn just didn't look good. His match against Nook/Pyramid Head is preeetty bad. I think Leon looked a little weaker in 2013 than he has in past, but he's not going to struggle against a character that got 60% against Tom Nook and didn't beat Yuna that badly despite Tifa laying down a double SFF beating of FF and TJF overlap. Since then, RE2's remake has been getting a lot of hype while Bethesda is on a slight downswing. You can't even count on a rally because no Skyrim player cares about the generic Dragonborn default avatar. Final Score: Leon - 62% Dragonborn - 38% Leon has a 95% chance of winning --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. <cite>KamikazePotato posted [p:910380876] in KP's (In-D...
