Day 36, Match 1 - Samus Aran vs. Tifa Lockheart
(2) Samus: 58.93% -Tifa: 41.07%

What happened?: Hey, remember when Tifa nearly beat Samus? It turns out that no Zero Suit Samus pic and years of Nintendo strengthening/Final Fantasy weakening meant no repeat of that. Samus won easily here. Tifa looked like she might keep it close during the board vote and the first few updates, but then Samus soared to 59% and held very steady.

What could this mean?: Well Nintendo has looked great and Samus is getting games again. Samus Returns was great and won a poll, Metroid Prime 4 is coming, that series is the healthiest it has been in over a decade. Add the slow decline of FF7 and Samus winning by this much makes sense, she has always been very strong and may be at her strongest here.

Day 36, Match 2 - Mario vs. Sephiroth
(7) Mario: 59.25% -Sephiroth: 40.75%

What happened?: A very similar result! Of course, the fact that this involves Sephiroth makes that pretty shocking. Mario effectively reversed the beatdown Sephiroth once gave him here. This started off really ugly, with Mario over 61% and to his credit, Sephiroth did gain a lot of percentage over time which Tifa could not do. But this was still a pretty embarrassing loss for the former number 3.

What could this mean?: Mario is a monster who has boosted a lot from Odyssey, the clear number 2 right now. Sephiroth has fallen a lot, but we all already knew that.
