Round 2 Tifa Lockheart vs. Mewtwo

Moltars Analysis

Tifa
Round 1 - 73.19% vs. Geno

Mewtwo
Round 1 - 62.48% vs. GlaDOS

FRAUD DETECTION WARNING

This is it, this is the big test for Mewtwo. So far in this contest, Pikachu has looked strong in two matches, and Charizard lost without much fanfare to Bowser. It looks like Mewtwo is going to fall closer to Charizard on the spectrum than Pikachu, which is still respectable. Both him and Tifa did as expected in Round 1, but Mewtwo needed to do better than for me to give him a chance since I believe Tifa is a step ahead naturally.

While Square is in a decline, Tifa so far seems to be one of the few characters thats holding up. If Mewtwo can keep it close, then I dont think he earns the status of f-word because Tifa is legit.

Moltars Bracket: Tifa

Moltars Prediction: Tifa 56%

transiences Analysis

Look, I'm ready to go low on everything Final Fantasy. Squall went low. Vincent and Aerith went low. Tidus, Yuna and Auron are all varying levels of low. Lightning got killed, Noctis lost to a hand, the list goes on. Unless you're an FF6 character, I don't have your back, and even that's only relative to historical expectations.

Mewtwo could win this, but I'm just not convinced after Charizard. I guess I should feel encouraged that the 'zard got almost 45% on Bowser, someone considered in the running for #10 on the site.

I'm dating myself here, but this matchup reminds me of the Tifa/Luigi matchup from 2005. Mewtwo will threaten, maybe look better than we expect, but ultimately Tifa's never in any danger. For all the Square failures of the last 15 years, for whatever reason, Tifa's just never been part of it. She's certainly not immune but she deserves the benefit of the doubt.

transience's prediction: Tifa with 55.01%

Leonharts Analysis

This is the biggest match of the contest for my reputation and legacy! Ive gone in hard on the idea that Mewtwo is a fraud from the start. Ive laid out my reasoning many times already, so I wont rehash it now. I stand firm on my belief in Tifas strength, too, and its possible that she could be the strongest non-Noble Nine Square character at this point. As such, I might as well put my money where my mouth is and go high here!

Leonharts Vote: Tifa Lockhart

Leonharts Prediction: Tifa Lockhart with 58.99%

Kleenexs Analysis

Time to find out if Mewtwo really is a fraud. FF7s opening vote is really, really rough this year, so the start of this match isnt going to look pretty. Tifa managed to recover pretty well by the end of the match last round, as is the case with most of the other FF7 characters this year. Mewtwo looked...fine(?) last round? I think? I dont know where to place GLaDOS at this point, but honestly I dont think shes that good. Im not as high on Mewtwos performance as some, and Charizard definitely didnt look great. This is going to start out with Mewtwo winning for sure, but I think Tifa can probably pull it out in the end.

Kleenexs Prediction: Tifa with 52%
