Sora's already increasing after this. Considering Midna's not that bad, Sora should be looking pretty good after this.

Won't stop people from doubting Sora after Kratos breaks 90% on Tails!

Sora is a weird character. He'll never score a legendary blowout, but he always does well. Though if he beats Bowser close, it's all 1-seed bracket voting. Both Leon and char have them close in their stats.

61.3% at the freeze. 65% looks possible.

Also, Sora was already just about Ganondorf's equal in 2006, so it makes sense that he'd be stronger now (Ganondorf got weaker). I don't really buy Mewtwo = Midna though- it doesn't match up with Midna's other matches and if you need a reason to discount a 4-way result, Mewtwo had a bad picture.

Sora can never score blowouts, by I expected better than this personally. I'm still happy with my Bowser pick right now.

If Pikachu can do as well as he does, there is NO reason that Charizard isn't going to wreak havoc this year, especially with his bracket placement. He got a beatable 1 seed. If that upset pulls through, and when Sephiroth beats Snake, I am gonna be looking mad good this year.

I'm also going to have a 26 correct in a row streak going until Roxas beats Heavy(wtf was I ****ing thinking).

And if you take 4ways seriously, Bowser/Midna is a 60-40 before SFF.

I wouldn't trust those stats normally, and I would especially not trust anything relating to Bowser or Sora.

Cloud massacred that poll, and it's probably tough for any Pokemon to knock out a non-Tingle Zelda character when dealing with a few crumbs of percentage. It's freakin' Zelda, afterall. I'd take Mewtwo to easily win a 1v1 against Midna.

Still looking like it'll be a fine performance from Sora. Also, I doubt Kratos massacres Tails as badly as some people might expect. Actually, I won't be surprised if freakin' Tails busts out the best Sonic Team performance of the round. He and Kratos couldn't be any more different, and that contrast could help him out.

Looking at Squall/Sora/Yoshi/Fox, Sora rose against Yoshi and Fox until around 3 AM, then went even with Yoshi until morning and kept going up against Fox. Squall killed everyone overnight.

I dunno, against Midna? It's probably a push, although Europe hates Kingdom Hearts, for whatever the reason.

Not sure why everyone's so quick to discount Midna/Mewtwo though. I haven't heard a reasonable excuse to not count that one yet (in before Ulti's "LOL 4-WAYS").

It's true, and it's a damn, damn shame. Who actually honestly likes Pikachu? I don't get it. I don't find him actively offensive or anything but...

Looking at it, this division's pretty good overall. You could make a case for, like, five of these guys making it out alive. The next few days will hopefully shed some light on Bowser, Kratos, Charizard, and of course the 2007 champ.

Before Brawl I would maybe agree with you, but the only thing Chu has on Zard is the anime... and even then, Charizard's pretty prominent there. Charizard has the look, he's awesome to use, he's in Brawl, he's got everything going his way to be the strongest Pokemon rep in the contest.

He could also tank hell'a hard and my bracket will be shot but you don't win these things without taking risks.
