Evillordexdeath 10/14/18 9:40:41 PM #127:	Battle 121: (1) Link vs Ganondorf It's Link. I hope Ganon does make it here, because Link will pulverize him so badly that Dante and Leon will look weaker than 2B. Well, not 2B in the stats, because she'll be behind Ness/Bowser, but you get the point. Link wins with 80% Battle 122: (8) Mega Man vs Yoshi If Zero is here, Mega Man will trash him. There are very few cases where the hero doesn't beat the supporting character, and Mega Man has won that match directly on multiple occasions. Mega Man doesn't really deserve to be the 8 seed of the noble nine and has always been well ahead of Yoshi. The best chance to upset him is probably if Pikachu is here, but Mega Man doesn't seem to be very susceptible to Pokemon - he spent the 2013 wiping it from the face of the contest, including a win against Charizard where everything was stacked against him. Mega Man wins with 60% Battle 123: (4) Cloud Strife vs Sora No amount of KHIII hype can get the kid over this mountain. No reasonable estimation of Cloud's decline lets Red or Big Boss touch him either. Cloud wins with 70% Battle 124: (5) Crono vs Bowser I think Crono would have beaten Pikachu if Magus wasn't there. Bowser might be stronger, so this is the best chance for a legend to fall - or perhaps the second. Still, I don't see it, especially not after that 2015 CT run. Crono wins with 55% Battle 125: (3) Solid Snake vs Squall We've seen this one before. I strongly doubt any of the other possibilities will be stronger than Squall by enough to make up the difference between him and Snake. Easy call. Snake wins with 60% Battle 126: (6) Sonic the Hedgehog vs Auron Sonic holds up pretty well 1v1. I'm sure some people will call for an upset, just like they did with Ganondorf and Kirby. Sonic wins with 55% Battle 127: (2) Samus vs Tifa Look at that shiny number 2 beside Samus' name. It may seem odd, but she has consistently done very well in these. Snake deserved it more, since he beat her in 2013 and outperformed her against Cloud in 2010, but I suppose Samus does have that old head-to-head win against him. But I digress. We saw this match in 2013, and Tifa didn't keep it as close as she did in 2006. Samus wins with 58% Battle 128: (7) Mario vs Sephiroth I'm tempted to call this one in favor of Sephiroth. He annihilated Mario twice over in the past. But that was a long time ago, and exaggerated though his fall may be, he's not the clear third place that he once was. The 2010 X-stats project that he will narrowly lose this battle. Now, that was the same Sephiroth who had Missingno's ghost hanging over him, but it wouldn't have happened regardless if it were 2005. The big problem is that Sephiroth is a character who goes through every contest with a target on his back. FFVII has been placed in a position where it can easily do very well this contest. Tifa, Sephiroth, and even Vincent have a good shot at winning their divisions, and Aeris could make it a few rounds deep. If that happens, we can expect a torrent of "FFVII always wins" complaining and more anti-votes than ever when Cloud and Sephiroth's big matches come around. We have to hope that, for all these disadvantages, Sephiroth still has the pure strength that it takes to bring down Mario. I'd like to believe that, but I don't think I'm brave enough.
