We finally have the bracket, so it's time to take a look at it. I will not only give my opinions on the matches, but I will also add upset-potential, and a rough Oracle prediction.
So let's get this thing rolling:
North Division
Match 1:
Mario/Bowser vs. Earthworm Jim/Queen Slug-for-a-butt
EWJ's rival should have been Psycrow. Not like it would have mattered, because Mario/Bowser is going to start this contest with a massive blowout. The Queen might give the pairing some joke potential, but not enough for it to matter.
Upset-potential: 0%
Oracle: Mario/Bowser with 80%
Match 2:
Conker/Great Mighty Poo vs. Ike/Black Knight
The second match of the contest is a pretty tough one. Ike is easily the strongest character among those 4, but Great Mighty Poo scares me. With a name like that, you just know he's going to bring in the joke votes for his pairing. Still Ike/BK is actually a pretty good rivalry (at least it was in PoR, haven't played RD), while Conker/GMP isn't as far as I know (haven't played Conker's BFD though) so I'm giving the edge to the serious pairing in this match.
Upset-potential: 40%
Oracle: Ike/Black Knight with 55%
Match 3
Kirby/Meta-Knight vs. Jill/Nemesis
We saw Kirby vs. Jill before, and it didn't end well for the sandwich. Add to this that Meta-Knight would easily wipe the floor with Nemesis, and the Jill/Nemesis rivalry not really being appealing, and I have a hard time seeing Jill/Nemesis moving on here. It's a night-match, so Kirby will be much weaker, and Jill much stronger than usual, but that's only enough to make the match somewhat closer, it still won't be close.
Upset-potential: 5%
Oracle: Kirby/Meta-Knight with 58%
Match 4
Sonic/Robotnik vs. Katherine/Catherine
Congrats to the Atlus fans on getting their obscure pairing into the contest, but this is as far as they go. Sonic is a gaming icon, and while Robotnik is the worst rival the nominators could have possibly picked (seriously, why isn't this Sonic/Knuckles?), they are still going to win this easily.
Upset-potential: 0%
Oracle: Sonic/Robotnik with 80%
