Round 2
On to the second round. Round 2 is traditionally pretty boring, and this contest is not all that different. I can see 4 debatable matches in the second round, maybe 5. A pretty poor ratio.
North Division
Match 33
Mario/Bowser vs. Ike/BK
Mario continues his easy path to the finals.
Upset-potential: 0%
Oracle: Mario/Bowser with 70%
Match 34:
Kirby/Meta-Knight vs. Sonic/Robotnik
I know Kirby beat Sonic in that fourway match, but let's be realistic here. I was dumb enough to pick Kirby>Sonic in the last CB. I won't be dumb enough to do it again. Sonic has also recently stopped releasing terrible games, or so I've heard, so I believe his strength should be rebounding somewhat. The match will still be relatively close, but I think Sonic should win this fairly comfortably.
Upset-potential: 10%
Oracle: Sonic/Not-Knuckles with 55%
Northeast Division
Match 35:
X/Zero vs. Bartz/Gilgamesh
Bartz/Gilgamesh is fodder. X/Zero is strong. Next.
Upset-potential: 0%
Oracle: X/Zero with 70%
Match 36:
Ezio/Rodrigo vs. Sub-Zero/Scorpion
If Sub-Zero/Scorpion actually manage to get here, by beating Leon/Ada, Ezio/Rodrigo won't be a match for them.
Upset-potential: 0%
Oracle: Sub-Zero/Scorpion with 60%
