Day 16, Match 3 - Ellie vs. KOS-MOS
(7) Ellie: 45.55% - (10) KOS-MOS: 54.45%

What happened?: Ellie had a lot going against her into this match. Her game is strong but it was five years ago with the sequel potentially years away still. She had a very plain looking match pic and KOS-MOS has somehow become relevant again thanks to Xenoblade 2. This match started badly for Ellie but she did build a lot of percentage over the course of the match. The other notable thing is that this was only the second match the site as a whole got wrong, heavily favouring Ellie. Board 8 got one over on them for once instead of the other way around.

What could this mean?: Ellie didn't look terrible here all things considered. I think without Xenoblade 2 this match is neck and neck, and I think KOS-MOS doing so well in Europe (where Xenoblade is very popular, but 2/3 Xenosaga games didn't even release) probably indicates that. The next match for KOS-MOS is going to be a tough one, but she looked good enough to not be worried about it if you have her.

Day 16, Match 4 - Aqua vs. Quiet
(2) Aqua: 64.11% - (15) Quiet: 35.89%

What happened?: That glorious feeling when the guru nom looks good. Aqua ran away with this one and didn't look back despite bleeding percentage over the course of the night vote. Not much more to say on the recap front, this match was quite standard.

What could this mean?: I'm having a hard time seeing Quiet, though she is certainly the weakest Metal Gear character in one of these things as ultra fodder given how high MGS's floor has been, even Otacon isn't terrible. I think Aqua, as one of the main protagonists of a series GameFAQs still has fondness for, is fairly legit. She got a 2 seed as opposed to fellow guru nom Sully's 6 seed for a reason. We'll get a good look at how strong she really is when she goes up against KOS-MOS. Also how come we never got Gray Fox in?
