Kleenexs Analysis

You could probably make a case for Snake to win this match, but I think youd be wrong. Snake has looked a bit better in loserville than he did in the winners bracket, but Samus has still been way more impressive for my money. Best case scenario for Snake in this match is a 2k6 finals redux. Worst case scenario is for him to look like he might lose to Tifa.

Kleenexs Prediction: Samus with 54%

Guests Analysis - spooky96

I'm seeing the Oracle topic right now and seeing that Samus is the overwhelmingly the favorite for this match, and rightfully so, as Snake, Samus, Cloud, Mario all of them are so close in strength that any slight boost will likely be able enough to win the match. Smash released two days back, and I think this will likely give just enough votes to Samus to get by Snake. Then there's part of me seeing today's match - Mario/Zelda, and I'm thinking Zelda=Snake=Mario and Mario beat Samus quite safely (relatively speaking), so I'm definitely tempted to go for the upset here (picking Snake an upset?). I don't think Mario won over Samus due to some weird SFF thing, this contest hardly had any of that, except maybe the Link-Ganon match and Sephiroth-Tifa match (I still like to believe Sephiroth is naturally stronger, its just that FF7 fans really prefer Tifa now that the website has matured). I'll go with the underdog and pick Snake here, I know the rule says 'whenever in doubt go with Nintendo' and deep down I kinda of know Samus wins here, but Snake does have a legit shot. Going 50-50 with Zelda seems more and more impressive as the contest goes on.

Snake with 50.25%

Crew Consensus: Samus wins in another 3-2 split.
