(1)Samus Aran vs (22)Catherine vs (9)Knuckles the Echidna 2013

Ulti's Analysis
Samus and Catherine in a poll together is cute if you're into anime fanfiction garbage, but as a contest match in round 2? This was just a 1 seed tribute, with Samus putting Knuckles and Catherine in their place en route to easily moving on. In a contest where practically the entire Noble Nine would end up looking like crap, Samus was one of the few who just took care of business and did what she was supposed to do match after match.

Worth noting here is Catherine proved herself not to be pure fodder that just got lucky in round 1. If you stretch this out into 1 on 1, 45% on Knuckles is no joke. I doubt that would actually happen in a real 1 on 1 setting, but let an old contest vet have his delusions of a 1 on 1 contest happening again down the line somewhere =/
