Spidey/Venom was SFF'd by Superman/Luthor, which I personally didn't expect at all
Vanilla/Chocolate proved to be a surprisingly popular R1 loser.
Yugi/Kaiba deserved way better, people tell me. The reason is that I actually underestimated Solid/Liquid Snake's strength based on Rivalry Rumble 2011, so I figured Yugi would get past it no problem while making the bracket.
