Yuna routs Chun-Li and completes a surprisingly strong division run |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yuna completed a surprisingly strong divisional run by beating Chun-Li far more convincingly than old upset talk had suggested. The writeup treats the performance as another sign that Yuna's pre-contest reputation had been too low before her coming test against Zelda.

Zelda beats Yuna but looks less frightening before Samus |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Zelda beat Yuna as expected, but Yuna held up considerably better than the writeup had anticipated. Zelda's less-than-perfect showing also cooled some of the immediate talk that she might exploit Samus's weakness in the next round.

|
Master Chief took first, while Luigi defeated Ganondorf in the fight for the other advancing spot. The writeup repeatedly points to Ganondorf's unfavorable first-appearance sprite as the decisive handicap.
Pic: The writeup says Ganondorf's ugly pig sprite hurt him badly against Luigi and likely reversed a matchup Ganondorf had previously won.

Zack destroys Yuna and validates ZackFAQs again |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A matchup that drew substantial pre-match debate turned into an easy Zack win almost immediately. The writeup treats the result as further confirmation that Zack's 2008 run was legitimate and that Yuna remained overrated.

Yuna hands Master Chief another predictable disappointment |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yuna beat Master Chief and Claire in a result the writeup says simply felt inevitable given Chief's long history of volatile strength and anti-voting. The match added another disappointment to Halo's contest record.

Tifa wins as Dragonborn's hype fully collapses |
|
✓ |
|
|
|

|
Tifa won comfortably while Dragonborn again looked far weaker than Skyrim's game-level popularity had suggested. Yuna's respectable third-place showing despite the Square overlap made Dragonborn's collapse look even worse.
LFF: The writeup treats Tifa and Yuna's shared Final Fantasy support as a real vote split, noting that Yuna stayed surprisingly close to Dragonborn even while Tifa was in the poll.
