Never got that impression she always seemed like one of the most popular AC characters.

Day 15, Match 1 - Sephiroth vs. Albert Wesker
(1) Sephiroth: 70.28% - (16) Wesker: 29.72%

What happened?: How the mighty have fallen. Sephiroth is the only Noble 9'er to not make the legends bracket and it was probably the right choice. Even if he is not the weakest (and there is now an argument for that) he doesn't really fit as an icon of a huge game/franchise. Anyway, this match was standard. Wesker is a fodder line-ish character who is lowest on the RE totem pole. He still overperformed expectations, likely due to anti-voting.

What could this mean?: While an underperformance on paper, this reminds me a lot of Cloud vs. Ridley in that there are a lot of people who just will not vote for FF7. Despite Resident Evil looking strong, Wesker is unlikely to be a recipient of a boost since he isn't in it anymore. Sephiroth has probably dropped a bit, but there's not much to read here.

Day 15, Match 2 - Richter Belmont vs. Captain Falcon
(8) Richter: 39.6% - (9) Captain Falcon: 60.4%

What happened?: Richter got in purely because of Smash, but I'm glad he's here. Castlevania has always deserved more reps since the series is pretty strong with a variety of faces. It was a bad draw for Richter though since Captain Falcon is an icon of characters people only really like because of Smash. Falcon's also looked better each time we've seen him. Falcon trashed Richter for the first hour, especially in the board vote, but there was a steep 5% drop and it ended up a fairly standard 60/40 result.

What could this mean?: Not much because of the Smash Bros. connection, but Richter should probably come back. I have to wonder who would win between him and Simon - I have a sneaking suspicion that it might be Richter.
