Moltar’s Analysis
Link/Ganondorf
Round 1 - 85.30% vs. Arthas/Illidan
Round 2 - 83.69% vs. Amaterasu/Orochi
Round 3 - 75.26% vs. Mega Man/Wily
Link crushes Mega Man again
Alucard/Dracula
Round 1 - 63.23% vs. Shepard/Saren
Round 2 - 56.67% vs. Phoenix/Edgeworth
Round 3 - 53.25% vs. Frog/Magus
Alucard beats Magus again
So Alucard made it out of the weakest division in the bracket and his reward is getting beaten by Link...again. In 2010, Link won with 72%, and now we’ve got rivalry factor (that’s right ganon is gonna carry link’s ass to an even bigger blowout) and Skyward Sword.
Triplings in the Elite Eight what a great bracket what a great contest. Also Zelda always overperforms so I’ll go a few percent higher than that for the hell of it.
Moltar’s Bracket: Link/Ganondorf
Moltar’s Prediction: Link/Ganondorf - 77%
Lopen’s Analysis
Alucard's plan no doubt involves putting us to sleep in this match. So we can be jilted awake caught unawares by... Cloud vs Squall? Hm. Maybe not. Well, in any case-- zzzzz. Huh? Huh? Oh. Yeah. I expect Alucard to do better than Mega Man because no SFF. Yeah.
zzzzz
Lopen's prediction:
Link vs 12% on Link with 70.30%
Leon’s Analysis
This match is basically another opportunity for Link to flex his muscles and respond to the WARNING SALVO Cloud/Sephiroth fired off in their match with the Twin Snakes. Don’t panic if Link doesn’t go as high here as he did against Mega Man/Wily because there won’t be any SFF here. It’s kind of weird to think that Alucard’s division will be one of the few with “clean” X-Stats because they won’t be ruined by an SFF blowout. Anyway, we already saw Link/Alucard last year, and Link won with nearly 72% there. That sounds about right this time, too.
Leonhart’s Prediction: Link vs. Ganondorf with 73.95%
Kleenex’s Analysis
Three rounds in and Link hasn't dropped below 75% yet. Will that trend continue today? Maybe. I expect similar numbers to what Link got on Mega Man, so THE STREAK could be in jeopardy. Possibly. I suppose. I dunno. Link's gonna win, so who really cares! Come on Sunday.
Kleenex's Prediction: Link vs. Ganondorf with 75.01%
