(11)Fox McCloud vs (15)Aeris Gainsborough 2018

Ulti's Analysis
Until this contest, only one 15 seed had ever won a match. With Aeris out here balling on Fox, she was here setting records. We may never again see a 15 seed win two matches, let alone three. This run will probably be forgotten in the contest ether, but it shouldn't be. I love me a giant seed making a deep run, and with this match Aeris tied Starcraft's old record of winning the most matches as a huge seed. The only way to beat this a 15/16 winning a division, which isn't possible outside of a rally or some hilariously awful seeding. Nice work, Aeris. She was destined to get killed off next round by Zelda, but enjoying her being around while still alive in this contest was nice to see.

Well, "balling" on Fox isn't really the right word here. This was just a match where the final percent was not indicative of the match itself. Aeris held this at 53-47 for 24 straight hours with no movement, so it was one of those close-looking matches where the winner was never in doubt.

Just for fun.

'''Final Fantasy 7 is back and boosted, baby! Cloud's run was now super obvious!'''

But for real, Fox getting this close was fun even though this match was never in doubt. Too bad Aeris had to face Zelda next.
