charmander6000 10/19/18 5:03:30 PM #21:	Match VII: (7) Tidus vs. (10) Donkey Kong Previous Contest Performance Tidus - 2013 Round 1: 40.50% against Missingno (40.58%) and Banjo (18.92%) Donkey Kong - 2013 Round 1: 45.76% against Lightning (38.42%) and Falco Lombardi (15.82%) Round 2: 17.08% against Charizard (41.49%) and Zelda (41.43%) Analysis Our first Square vs. Nintendo match. This match will give us our first insight onto whether one of the two major companies have gained over the other. Both characters have appeared in almost all the character battles, so we generally have a good idea on where they stand relatively to their respective companies. Based on old results, Tidus is expected to win a close, but comfortable match against Donkey Kong. However, will that hold true in 2018? One weakness for Final Fantasy characters is that they are stuck in their own game and while they appear in other titles like Dissidia and Kingdom Hearts over time they will begin to depreciate. We already saw this with Final Fantasy X where the game was arguably equal to Super Smash Bros. Melee in 2010 but has lost half a step by 2015 and with no other major title the same should be true for their characters. Lucky for the series that GameFAQs does not attract many new users so this drop in strength has been slow. Would it be enough to avoid losing to Donkey Kong? I think so. Donkey Kong has been relatively quiet for a Nintendo character, so I dont see him winning. Its possible, but I just cant pull the trigger on one of the most notorious chokers in GameFAQs history. charmander6000s Bracket: Tidus > Donkey Kong charmander6000s Prediction: Tidus wins, 53.11% - 46.89% Match VIII: (2) Leon Kennedy vs. (15) Dragonborn Previous Contest Performance Leon Kennedy - 2013 Round 1: 51.21% against Albert Wesker (28.06%) and Oliver (20.73%) Round 2: 39.73% against Gordon Freeman (33.45%) and Shadow the Hedgehog (26.82%) Round 3: 15.15% against Squirtle (42.91%) and Cloud Strife (41.94%) Dragonborn - 2013 Round 1: 42.33% against Tom Nook (29.82%) and Pyramid Head (27.85%) Round 2: 30.43% against Tifa Lockheart (44.56%) and Yuna (25.00%) Analysis Its a bit of a shame that Dragonborn was given such an unwinnable match, with his inconclusive performance in 2013 he could have had a debatable match against a mid-carder. Leon Kennedy is just a bit too strong for him to overcome. I also wouldnt be surprised if Dragonborn is a bit weaker now relatively to 2013. If Leon wants to show that he has a chance at reaching the division finals hell have to come up big here. Its hard to know exactly what he needs to become the favourite against Vivi, but I imagine a failure to break 60% will not be enough to convince the board. charmander6000s Bracket: Leon Kennedy > Dragonborn charmander6000s Prediction: Leon Kennedy wins, 64.26% - 35.74% --- CBX - Today's Winners: Dante, Lightning, Chun-Li, Ganondorf Score: 0/0 <cite>charmander6000 posted [p:910814196] in Contest St...
