I mean maybe, but we can't say for sure. I wonder how Piranha Plant would do.

Day 16, Match 1 - Ryu vs. Lloyd Irving
(3) Ryu: 68.44% - (14) Lloyd: 31.56%

What happened?: Poor Lloyd. He is probably still okayish all things considered, but he hasn't had a winnable draw since 2007. He just doesn't get the support in nominations anymore to get a decent seed. Overall, this was not the worst showing for him, but not great either; It was slightly ahead of the projected result based on 2010 but not by much. Overall a standard result without much in the way of interesting trends.

What could this mean?: I can't imagine Lloyd has changed much, ToS still gets rereleases and the people who like it still like it. Ryu looked good here, and I fully expect him to deliver some major beatdowns in the next two rounds.

Day 16, Match 2 - Commander Shepard vs. King K. Rool
(6) Shepard: 51.23% - (11) K. Rool: 48.77%

What happened?: This match looks crazy on paper but it was possible to see this coming. We saw Smash boost people, we saw Donkey Kong in particular look good, and we saw Mass Effect underwhelm. after the board vote ended this match was neck and neck, and it then spent seven hours going back and forth between the two. Eventually Shepard did start to build a lead thanks to Nintendo's frontloaded nature, and got over 51%, but this was a clear Pyrrhic victory for him.

What could this mean?: What we've seen already pretty much. Smash has been very impressive and Mass Effect has looked bad. I also think there's been a lot of increased general interest in Donkey Kong lately. It's hard to say how much Shepard has fallen, and we'll get a good look at that when he goes up against Ryu next round.
