HOLY DARN SO MANY CLOUDS!!! This was our first Nintendo/Square match ever, and while we now know that Fox is actually a solid midcarder, he sure didn't look like it here. Hold this match again, and Fox likely breaks 30%.
As is, some (dumb) people thought Fox could win the match just because he was from Nintendo. Excuse me, but how is someone who draws most of his popularity from rail shooters and fighters supposed to deal with the star of the game that put GameFAQs on the map? Yet, thanks to those guys, the board was supposedly busier here than on any day in 2004, which...okay, I suppose this was the first match where both characters were well-known, yadda yadda...
For now, however, Nintendo was looking down and Square was looking awesome. With Cloud blowing out Fox, Aya Brea's upset, Mario underperforming, and DK underperforming, who could truly say otherwise? But boy did this contest NOT stay in that direction.
