Match 5: Sheik vs. Kirby

Sephiroth: Zero Suit Samus was able to ride the momentum from her first round win to a second round win. Can Kirby do the same?

*Kirby gets off to a strong start with his air game. Despite her agility, Sheik has a hard time landing any attacks. Kirby sends Sheik flying with his dash attack and then slams her with the hammer as she tries to get back to the stage for a KO (Kirby 3-2)*

Crono: That was a masterful setup by Kirby for the knockout shot there.

*Sheik gathers herself and starts chaining together some attacks. She knocks Kirby off the side, and as he lackadaisically floats back toward the stage, she jumps off and hits him with her air-tilt to knock him beyond recovery (2-2)*

Sephiroth: Good move on Sheiks part to negate Kirbys massive jump range.

*The two duke it out for a while, rising in percentage, and then Sheik nearly KOs Kirby with her up-smash, but he hangs on and floats back down. Sheik chases after him and Kirby takes advantage of his floating to fight with her below the stage. It looks like hes knocked Sheik down too far, but she somehow manages to get back. A Smash Ball appears and Kirby gets it, prompting Sheik to stay in the air as much as possible to avoid letting him use it. Unfortunately, she drops right into his up-smash for a KO (Kirby 2-1)*

Crono: I get that Sheik didnt want to get caught by the Final Smash, but she left herself wide open for an easy KO as a result.

*When Sheik respawns, she again desperately tries to stay beyond Kirbys reach, but its only a matter of time before he catches her with his Final Smash for good damage. Once again, they wind up fighting below the stage, and a few times, it looks like one or the other wont be able to get back to the stage, but they both eventually get back. After some more back and forth, Sheik blasts Kirby with her up-air for the KO (1-1)*

Sephiroth: This match has been intense, and now were getting down to the final moments.

*However, Sheik was too worn down from the Final Smash and all the extra effort it took to get that KO, so all it takes is two up-airs for Kirby to end the match (Kirby wins, 1-0)*

Sephiroth: Kirby wins! Once again, the one who fought last week prevailed again this week.

Crono: Kirby fought unafraid out there. Sheik always seemed hesitant to actually mount an offensive assault, as she only registered 203% total damage given over the course of the match.
