Northwest Division: Round 2 - Match 47 – (1) Squall/Seifer vs. (4) Siegfried/Nightmare
Moltar’s Analysis
Squall/Seifer
Round 1 - 73.65% vs. Laharl/Mid-Boss
lolharl and lol-boss
Siegfried/Nightmare
Round 1 - 55.68% vs. Ramza/Delita
lolmza and lolita...wait a minute
Facing Ramza is one thing, facing Squall is another. The Soul Calibur characters barely got through Round 1 against a weak duo, and now they’ve got Squall and Seifer to deal with. Safe to say, they aren’t strong enough to win this.
Considering the FF8 rivalry couldn’t even triple Laharl, Siegfried and Nightmare probably won’t end up looking too bad here.
Moltar’s Bracket: Squall/Seifer
Moltar’s Prediction: Squall/Seifer - 64%
Lopen’s Analysis
For as appealing as Mr. SIEGFRIED SCHTAUFFEN is to the masses, this is an easy match, but it might be interesting to see how well Squall and Seifer do to gauge their chances against THE DANTE SPARDA!? next round. Yeah, that match isn't a lock-- in fact, I'd call Dante (or barring some ridiculousness, Sora) the favorite. And I'll tell you why:
1. Kingdom Hearts Boost? Not here. Seifer might as well be feuding with uhhh... that pudgy kid who hangs around with Roxas.
2. Squall vs Seifer is a one game rivalry, and not old as the sands of time, so it's going to flop.
Huh I just wasted all my ammo for next round on this round. Oh whatever. I guess this round is good to see how much of what I'm saying is hot air. (0%. Too cool for hot air. Word.)
Lopen's prediction:
Squall vs Seifer with 61.01%
Leon’s Analysis
This match features a couple of former NRT winners. I’m pretty sure that’s the first time two NRT winners have ever faced each other in a contest match! That’s fun! But unless you’re a Squall (or Seifer) fanboy like me, you’re probably not going to find this match all that fun. Squall/Seifer didn’t wow people against Laharl/Mid-Boss last round, but they did well enough. Siegfried/Nightmare got 55% on Ramza/Delita. Ramza and Laharl were virtual equals the last time we saw them together in 2008. I doubt there’s much of a difference in their strengths now either. Plus, Nightmare being very difficult to see in the match pic probably hurts them a bit, too.
Leonhart’s Prediction: Squall Leonhart vs. Seifer Almasy with 70.27%
