Master Moltar 10/18/18 9:21:48 AM #31:	Round 1 Spyro the Dragon vs. Chun-Li Moltars Analysis Heres the first match with two contest veterans going at it, even though neither is all that strong. Spyro has gotten smacked around by Morrigan a couple times (who in turn has been washed by Noble Niners). Chun-Li does have a win over Lara from a decade ago under her belt, but then got beat by Yuna, and more recently got crushed by Tifa. Between the two of them, that Lara win is the most impressive thing here. Plus, Chun-Li has kept herself relevant with Street Fighter still being a thing. Shes got nostalgia and relevancy here, unlike Spyro who just has nostalgia. Chun isnt a god or anything, but she should have enough strength to beat high fodder like Spyro. Moltars Bracket: Chun-Li Moltars Prediction: Chun-Li 59% transiences Analysis What is this, 2002 or 2003? This feels like a classic Dirk the Daring vs. Chop Chop Master Onion kind of match. I can't imagine anyone having fond feelings about Spyro today that didn't have them then, whereas Chun Li remains the prominent female fighting game icon. Spyro has Skylanders, but like, so what? Spyro's main appeal is being moderately well-known and Chun Li trumps him there bigtime. Did you know that there's a Spyro Trilogy coming out next month for PS4 and XB1? Me either. Pre-order from GameStop now and get a free Spyro keychain! transience's prediction: Chun Li with 70.41% Leonharts Analysis Spyros been getting an odd amount of hype for an upset here, and I dont totally understand it. He won a match in 2013 against one of the weakest batches of opponents in the contest, and his original games are getting remade, so I guess some people are expecting him to get a hype boost. But Spyro still lost easily to Morrigan in round 2, and Id never take Morrigan to beat Chun-Li straight up. Street Fighter is way above Darkstalkers (and Marvel vs. Capcom, which Chun-Li is also in, so it doesnt really matter) in the Capcom fighting game hierarchy. Ive seen people say Spyro is iconic (which is pretty debatable), but Chun-Li is way more iconic than he is. Shes the original fighting game girl, after all. Now I think Spyro will probably do respectably here because hes not ultra fodder and Chun-Li isnt super strong, but I dont think hell ever be in the match (Crew Curse here we come). Leonharts Vote: Chun-Li Leonharts Prediction: Chun-Li with 58.90% Kleenexs Analysis While I was filling out my bracket, this was the match that made me realize I have no idea how much most of these characters are worth anymore. Yes, it only took 3 matches to come to that conclusion. Spyro sucks. Like, really sucks. He lost of Morrigan. Twice. Over the span of 11 years. Hes consistent! We have a couple data points on Chun Li, and she hasnt looked that impressive outside of the female bracket in 2006, but thats still better than anything Spyro has done. Even more recently, she was still worth like 30% on Tifa, which I have to imagine is better than Spyro would. Unless people are really, really, really hyped for that Spyro trilogy remaster (Im sure like...three of you exist), I think Chun-Li should have the edge here. Kleenexs Prediction: Chun-Li with 59% Guests Analysis - pjbasis There's really no good data on Chun-Li, so it really just comes down to some raw popularity antenna feeling. Spyro is doing better these days, and he's got a hype remaster trilogy coming out real soon. Still, Chun-Li is a freaking icon, and should put him away with little trouble. Hopefully Spyro keeps it as close as he can, and then Chun-Li gets announced for Smash and almost beats Ganon and Spyro looks beastly. LET'S GO SPYRO!
