Round 2 Master Chief vs. Miles Tails Prower

Moltars Analysis

Master Chief
Round 1 69.00% vs. Goro Majima

Tails
Round 1 - 56.73% vs. Nathan Drake

So Tails made Drake look like a chump, and pre-contest I figured that Drake would make Chief look bad. Hmm

Tails should be the favorite here, not necessarily because of his strength, but because now that Master Chief has some actual competition, I dont think hes going to hold up as well on our site.

Moltars Bracket: Drake

Moltars Prediction: Tails 58%

transiences Analysis

Nobody's picking Chief, right? It's just impossible to have any kind of confidence in that dude. If Drake was here we'd probably pick Drake.

Chief had a surprisingly good round 1. I'm always waiting for this weird day when Chief becomes some kind of super nostalgic character due to his age and the fondness for the days when Halo was the biggest show in town. It hasn't been that since 2007, though, and Chief just gets worse and worse. There aren't many notable characters that I would pick Chief over. He's like the anti-Pac-Man. If he finds a dude that's well-known, he finds a way to limbo under them. The Master Chief exam should be a rite of passage for middling contest characters. Lucina, KOS-MOS, 2B, Spyro -- if you want to see if they're at least okay, put em against the Chief.

Oh, right. Tails. Tails is in this match.

transience's prediction: Tails with 59.44%

Leonharts Analysis

Its weird to think that Tails could win two matches this year when hed only won one match before this in his long contest career. Weve seen western characters collapse left and right this year, so getting to face two of them back to back is a lucky break. Master Chief put a good beatdown on a weak Yakuza guy in round 1, so hes not totally worthless like I thought he might be this year. As such, I wont completely discount Chiefs chances of winning, but at the same time, I wont be shocked at all if Tails beats him worse than he beat Drake.

Kleenexs Analysis

I really want to take Chief here. Really bad. But I dont think he can pull this one off. Sonic characters have all looked really good this year, and while Chief did look okay, it wasnt a monster performance against one of the weakest characters in the bracket. Im not convinced this is 100% in Tailss favor, I think Chief has a non-zero chance, but all the data points weve seen so far point to Tails.

Kleenexs Prediction: Tails with 55%
