This match may help us figure out if Tifa is still on roids like she was in 2013. Either way, Geno gets walloped.

Division 7 Match 6
GlaDOS vs. Mewtwo

Well. Now here's an interesting match.

GlaDOS was one of the secret stars of 2013. She didn't get that much of a chance to shine because the strongest opponent she beat was a horse (who beat Ike, kill me) but her results were, across the board, really strong. Here's some fun X-stats:

Zelda 34.22
Charizard 34.22
Mewtwo 34.09
GlaDOS 33.85
Ganondorf 33.58
Sora 33.55

That is totally out of line with how strong she was in the past, and it's years after Portal was relevant. Maybe it just took a while for the voters to learn that the funny robot voice from Portal was actually named GlaDOS? Regardless, she looked really good and she's wasted in a Round 1 match that is an extreme uphill battle. Even if Mewtwo is a fraud and he's not nearly as strong as his 2013 results after Round 2 show - which I believe - the stats didn't take into account anything after Round 2, so what you're seeing there is 'normal' Mewtwo. As normal as Pokemon got in 2013.

For GlaDOS to win, you basically have to hope that Mewtwo doesn't get any Pokemon weirdness bonus AND has naturally dropped since the Poke-high of 2013, and while that's possible, I find it hard to imagine he drops more than GlaDOS does. I think Portal is really starting to show its age, and it's poor performance in the 2015 Contest shows that. Wouldn't be surprised at all if GlaDOS falls off a decent amount 2013, that contest felt like a fluke that Pokemon would be proud of.

Result:
GlaDOS - 46%
Mewtwo - 54%

Mewtwo has an 80% chance of winning
