charmander6000 11/02/18 5:07:05 PM #45:	Match LXI: (3) Ryu vs. (14) Lloyd Irving Previous Contest Performance Ryu - 2013 Round 1: 56.19% against Yuri Lowell (26.41%) and Face McShooty (17.40%) Round 2: 14.32% against Draven (66.52%) and Mega Man X (19.15%) Lloyd Irving - 2013 Round 1: 23.62% against Pikachu (52.93%) and Big Daddy (23.45%) Analysis Too bad Ryu got a predictable path this contest as the Smash boost likely would have made things debatable against an elite character. Though there are some people still hoping for the Sephiroth upset. Unless the direct turned GameFAQs into a bunch of haters Ryu will likely continue the trend of all things Smash overperforming. Tales of Symphonia may have been a board favourite, but Lloyd has never really amounted to much. We saw him getting utterly crushed by Pikachu in 2013 and while its believable that Lloyd may have suffered a bit of SFF due to being pseudo-Nintendo, at this point so is Ryu. I feel there is a decent chance that Ryu will outdo Sephiroths performance against Wesker which will likely cause a lot of people to hype the upset. charmander6000s Bracket: Ryu > Lloyd Irving charmander6000s Prediction: Ryu wins, 68.73% - 31.27% Match LXII: (6) Commander Shepard vs. (11) King K. Rool Previous Contest Performance Commander Shepard - 2013 Round 1: 54.01% against Captain Olimar (29.50%) and Kain (16.48%) Round 2: 41.60% against Aerith Gainsborough (39.64%) and Tharja (18.76%) Round 3: 11.34% against Draven (44.65%) and Link (44.02%) King K. Rool - N/A N/A Analysis With Nintendo characters on an upswing and newer characters on a downward spiral even matches like this have gain some debate. There is some limit though. While it is expected that Shepard will drop in strength that doesnt mean hell become fodder. Garrus may have equalled Ramza, but at worst Ramza is high fodder so it is not like he took a huge drop in strength. Regardless, Shepard has shown to be significantly stronger than Garrus. King K. Rool is here due to being announced for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Before the announcement I imagine he would be weak fodder. Diddy Kong was quite weak in 2008, though he did have to contend with Captain Falcon in the match. Even with Ultimate I doubt he would rise above many of the other lower tier Nintendo characters which should place him out of reach of Shepard. charmander6000s Bracket: Commander Shepard > King K. Rool charmander6000s Prediction: Commander Shepard wins, 60.12% - 39.88% --- CBX - Today's Winners: Sephiroth, Captain Falcon, Amaterasu, Lara Croft Score: 46/56 <cite>charmander6000 posted [p:911686581] in Contest St...
